whole, or in part in integral multiples of $100,000, upon at least five (5)
Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lender by 11:00 a.m. (Central
Standard Time), which notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction,
provided, however, that the Revolving Commitment Amount may not be reduced below
the Revolving Exposure. The Borrower may, at any time when there are no Facility
L/Cs outstanding, upon not less than 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to
the Lender, terminate the Revolving Commitment in its entirety. Upon termination
of the Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.4, the Borrower shall pay
to the Lender the full amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans, all accrued
and unpaid interest thereon, and all unpaid Revolving Commitment Fees accrued to
the date of such termination. All accrued Revolving Commitment Fees shall be
payable on the effective date of any termination of the obligations of the
Lender to make Credit Extensions hereunder.
(b)    The Borrower may prepay the Revolving Loans, in whole or in part, at any
time, without premium or penalty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if
the Revolving Loans are tied to a cash management sweep product agreed to by the
Borrower and the Lender, then Revolving Loans will also be prepaid by
applications made to the Revolving Loans in accordance with the terms of such
cash management sweep product.
2.5.    Borrowing Requests. The Borrower shall give the Lender notice (a
“Borrowing Notice”) not later than 11:00 a.m. (Central Standard Time) on the
Borrowing Date of each Revolving Loan specifying:
(i)
the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Revolving Loan, and

(ii)
the amount of such Revolving Loan.

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

2.6.    Interest Rates. Interest on each Advance hereunder shall accrue at an
annual rate equal to the Applicable Margin plus the Daily Reset LIBOR Rate. The
Lender’s internal records of applicable interest rates shall be determinative in
the absence of manifest error.
2.7.    Rates Applicable After Event of Default. During the continuance of an
Event of Default, the Loans shall, at the option of the Lender (or, in the case
of an Event of Default under Section 7.2, 7.6 or 7.7, automatically upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default), bear interest at the rate otherwise
applicable thereto plus 5.0% per annum and the Facility LC Fee shall, at the
option of the Lender (or, in the case of an Event of Default under Section 7.2,
7.6 or 7.7, automatically upon the occurrence of an Event of Default) be
increased by 5.0% per annum.
2.8.    Method of Payment. All payments of the Obligations under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or
counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Lender at the Lender’s
address specified in Article XII by 12:00 noon (Central Standard Time) on the
date when due. The Lender is authorized to charge the account of the Borrower
maintained with the Lender for each payment of principal, interest,
Reimbursement Obligations and fees as it becomes due hereunder.
2.9.    Evidence of Indebtedness.
(a)     The Revolving Loans shall be evidenced by a single Revolving Note
payable to the order of the Lender in a principal amount equal to the Revolving
Commitment Amount originally in effect (the “Note”).
(b)     The Lender shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the
amount of each Loan made hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest
due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to the Lender
hereunder, (iii) the original stated amount of each Facility LC and the amount
of Facility LC Obligations outstanding at any time, and (iv) the amount of any
sum received by the Lender hereunder from the Borrower. The entries maintained
in the accounts shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of
the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, the failure of the Lender
to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect
the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their
terms.
2.10.     Telephonic Notices. The Borrower authorizes the Lender to extend Loans
and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any Person or Persons
the Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Borrower, it
being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to
allow Borrowing Notices to be given telephonically. The Borrower agrees to
deliver promptly to the Lender a written confirmation (which may include e-mail)
of each telephonic notice authenticated by an Authorized Officer. If the written
confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the
Lender, the records of the Lender shall govern absent manifest error.

13
{02418409.4}

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

2.11.     Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest is payable
beginning December 1, 2016, and on the same date of each consecutive month
thereafter (except that if a given month does not have such a date, the last day
of such month), and on the date of any prepayment on the amount prepaid, plus a
final interest payment with the final payment of principal. Interest accrued
pursuant to Section 2.7 shall be payable on demand. Interest on all Loans and
fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year.
Interest shall be payable for the day a Loan is made but not for the day of any
payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 12:00 noon (Central
Standard Time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or
interest on a Loan shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such
payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. If, as a result of
any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the
Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lender determines that (i)
the IBD/EBITDA Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable
date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the IBD/EBITDA Leverage
Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall
immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Lender promptly upon
demand (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for
relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United
States, automatically and without further action by the Lender), an amount equal
to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for
such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period.
2.12.    Facility LCs.
(a)     Issuance. The Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement, to issue standby and commercial Letters of Credit denominated in
Dollars (each, a “Facility LC”) and to renew, extend, increase, decrease or
otherwise modify each Facility LC (“Modify,” and each such action a
“Modification”), from time to time from and including the Effective Date and
prior to the Facility Termination Date upon the request of the Borrower;
provided that immediately after each such Facility LC is issued or Modified, (i)
the aggregate amount of the outstanding Facility LC Obligations shall not exceed
$15,000,000, and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Exposure shall not
exceed the Revolving Commitment Amount. No Facility LC shall have an expiry date
later than the date which is 18 months subsequent to the Facility Termination
Date.
(b)    Notice. Subject to Section 2.12(a), the Borrower shall give the Lender
notice prior to 10:00 a.m. (Central Standard Time) at least five (5) Business
Days prior to the proposed date of issuance or Modification of each Facility LC,
specifying the beneficiary, the proposed date of issuance (or Modification) and
the expiry date of such Facility LC, and describing the proposed terms of such
Facility LC and the nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby.
The issuance or Modification by the Lender of any Facility LC shall, in addition
to the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV, be subject to the
conditions precedent that such Facility LC shall be satisfactory to the Lender
and that the Borrower shall have executed and delivered such application
agreement and/or such other instruments and agreements relating to such Facility
LC as the Lender shall have reasonably requested (each, a “Facility LC
Application”). The Lender

14
{02418409.4}

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

shall have no independent duty to ascertain whether the conditions set forth in
Article IV have been satisfied. In the event of any conflict between the terms
of this Agreement and the terms of any Facility LC Application, the terms of
this Agreement shall control.
(c)     Facility LC Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender, with respect to
each international Facility LC, a letter of credit fee at a per annum rate equal
to 0.50% of the original face amount of such Facility LC for the period from the
date of issuance to the scheduled expiration date of such Facility LC, such fee
to be payable in arrears on the last day of each quarter hereafter (the
“Facility LC Fee”). The Borrower shall also pay to the Lender on demand, all
amendment, drawing and other fees regularly charged by the Lender to its letter
of credit customers and all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender in
connection with the issuance, Modification, administration or payment of any
Facility LC.
(d)    Administration. Upon receipt of any demand for payment under any Facility
LC from the beneficiary of such Facility LC, the Lender shall notify the
Borrower as to the amount to be paid by the Lender as a result of such demand
and the proposed payment date (the “Facility LC Payment Date”). The
responsibility of the Lender to the Borrower shall be only to determine that the
documents (including each demand for payment) delivered under each Facility LC
in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material
respects with the requirements of such Facility LC.
(e)     Reimbursement by Borrower. The Borrower shall be irrevocably and
unconditionally obligated to reimburse the Lender on or before the applicable
Facility LC Payment Date for any amounts to be paid by the Lender upon any
drawing under any Facility LC, without presentment, demand, protest or other
formalities of any kind. All such amounts paid by the Lender and remaining
unpaid by the Borrower shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day
until paid at a rate per annum equal to (x) the rate applicable to the Loans for
such day if such day falls on or before the applicable Facility LC Payment Date
and (y) the sum of 5.0% per annum plus the rate applicable to the Loans for such
day if such day falls after such Facility LC Payment Date. Subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation the submission of
a Borrowing Notice in compliance with Section 2.5 and the satisfaction of the
applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV), the Borrower may
request an advance hereunder for the purpose of satisfying any Reimbursement
Obligation.
(f)    Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.12
shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and
irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the
Borrower may have or have had against the Lender or any beneficiary of a
Facility LC. The Borrower further agrees with the Lender that the Lender shall
not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation in respect
of any Facility LC shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or
genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents
should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged,
or any dispute between or among the Borrower, any of its Affiliates, the
beneficiary of any Facility LC or any financing institution or other party to
whom any Facility LC may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of
the Borrower or of any of its Affiliates against the beneficiary of any Facility
LC or any such

15
{02418409.4}

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

transferee. The Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption
or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however
transmitted, in connection with any Facility LC.

(g)     Actions of Lender. The Lender shall be entitled to rely, and shall be
fully protected in relying, upon any Facility LC, draft, writing, resolution,
notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, facsimile,
telex, teletype or electronic mail message, statement, order or other document
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made
by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal
counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Lender.
(h)    Indemnification. The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Lender and its affiliates, and their respective directors,
officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims and damages,
losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and
disbursements) which the Lender may incur (or which may be claimed against the
Lender by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with the
issuance, execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay
under any Facility LC or any actual or proposed use of any Facility LC,
including, without limitation, any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs
or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) which the
Lender may incur by reason of or on account of the Lender issuing any Facility
LC which specifies that the term “Beneficiary” included therein includes any
successor by operation of law of the named Beneficiary, but which Facility LC
does not require that any drawing by any such successor Beneficiary be
accompanied by a copy of a legal document, satisfactory to the Lender,
evidencing the appointment of such successor Beneficiary; provided that the
Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the Lender for any claims, damages,
losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent,
caused by (x) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Lender as
determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction in determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC
complied with the terms of such Facility LC or (y) the Lender’s failure to pay
under any Facility LC after the presentation to it of a request strictly
complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC. Nothing in this
Section 2.12(h) is intended to limit the obligations of the Borrower under any
other provision of this Agreement.
(i)     Separate Reimbursement Agreement. In the event the Lender enters into a
separate continuing reimbursement agreement with the Borrower, such
reimbursement agreement shall not apply to the Facility LCs.
2.13.     Limitation of Interest. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein
or in any Loan Document, the total liability of the Borrower for payment of
interest pursuant hereto, including late charges, shall not exceed the Highest
Lawful Rate, and if any payments by the Borrower include interest in excess of
the Highest Lawful Rate, the Lender shall apply the excess first to reduce the
unpaid balance of the Loans, then to reduce the balance of any other
Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender. If there is no such Indebtedness,
the excess shall be returned to Borrower.

16
{02418409.4}

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

2.14.     Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any
court it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Borrower hereunder in the
currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another
currency, the parties agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do
so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with
normal banking procedures the Lender could purchase the specified currency with
such other currency at the Lender’s offices on the Business Day preceding that
on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of the
Borrower in respect of any sum due to the Lender hereunder shall,
notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be
discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the
Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency the Lender may in
accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified
currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so
purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Lender in the specified
currency, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do
so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify
the Lender against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so
purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Lender in the specified
currency, the Lender agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower.
ARTICLE III    

YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES
3.1.    Yield Protection. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, there
occurs any Change in Law which:
(a)    subjects the Lender to any Taxes (other than with respect to Indemnified
Taxes, Excluded Taxes, and Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of
credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other
liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or
(b)    imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment,
insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Lender, or
(c)    imposes any other condition (other than Taxes) the result of which is to
increase the cost to the Lender of making, funding or maintaining Loans, or of
issuing Facility LCs, or reduces any amount receivable by the Lender in
connection with its Loans or Facility LCs, or requires the Lender to make any
payment calculated by reference to the amount of Loans or Facility LCs held or
interest or Facility LC Fees received by it, by an amount deemed material by the
Lender,
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender of
making or maintaining the Loans or the Revolving Commitment or of issuing
Facility LCs or to reduce the amount received by the Lender in connection with
such Loans, Revolving Commitment or Facility LCs, then, within 15 days after
demand by the Lender, the Borrower shall pay the Lender such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such increased cost or reduction in
amount received.

17
{02418409.4}

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

Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to
this Section 3.1 shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand
such compensation.
3.2.     Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If the Lender determines the
amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by the
Lender or any corporation or holding company controlling the Lender is increased
as a result of (i) a Change in Law or (ii) any change on or after the date of
this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines, then, within 15 days after
demand by the Lender, the Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount necessary to
compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such
increased capital or liquidity which the Lender determines is attributable to
this Agreement, the Revolving Exposure or the Revolving Commitment to make Loans
and issue Facility LCs, as the case may be, hereunder (after taking into account
the Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy or liquidity), in each case that is
attributable to such Change in Law or change in the Risk-Based Capital
Guidelines, as applicable. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall not constitute a waiver of the
Lender’s right to demand such compensation.
3.3.     Taxes.
(a)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower
under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any
Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the
deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the Borrower
shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the
full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other
Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so
that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such
deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section 3.3) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)    The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law or at the option of the Lender timely reimburse
it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c)     The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender, within 15 days after demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes
(including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.3) payable or paid by the
Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Lender and
any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or
not such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount
of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Lender shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a
Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.3, the Borrower shall deliver
to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such
Governmental Authority evidencing such

18
{02418409.4}

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

payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such
payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.
(e)    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 3.3 (including by the payment of additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 3.3), 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 3.3 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 (e) (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 (e), in no
event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an
indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (e) 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 giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This
paragraph (e) 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.
(f)    Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.3 shall survive any
assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, the Lender, the termination of
the Revolving Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all
obligations under any Loan Document.
3.4.     Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. The Lender shall deliver a
written statement of the Lender to the Borrower as to the amount due, if any,
under Section 3.1, 3.2, or 3.3. Such written statement shall set forth in
reasonable detail the calculations upon which the Lender determined such amount
and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of
manifest error. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the
written statement of the Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the
Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrower under
Sections 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 shall survive payment of the Obligations and
termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE V    

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lender:
5.1.     Existence and Standing. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is a
corporation, partnership or

21
{02418409.4}

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

limited liability company duly and properly incorporated or formed, as the case
may be, validly existing and (to the extent such concept applies to such entity)
in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or
organization and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each
jurisdiction in which its business is conducted.
5.2.     Authorization and Validity. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
has the power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan
Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. The
execution and delivery by each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries of the Loan
Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations
thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate proceedings, and the
Loan Documents to which each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is a party
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries enforceable against the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance
with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally.
5.3.     No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery by
each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries of the Loan Documents to which it is a
party, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor
compliance with the provisions thereof will violate (i) any law, rule,
regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s
Constituent Documents, or (iii) the provisions of any indenture, instrument or
agreement to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is
subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with or
constitute a default thereunder, or result in, or require, the creation or
imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of the Borrower or a Subsidiary
pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement. No order,
consent, adjudication, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or
filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in
respect of any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision
thereof, which has not been obtained by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries,
is required to be obtained by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in
connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the borrowings
under this Agreement, the payment and performance by the Borrower of the
Obligations or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any
of the Loan Documents.

and welfare insurance and other benefits (in each case, except for de minimis
amounts), have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower
or such Subsidiary. The consummation of the transactions contemplated under the

renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement
to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is bound.

immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of
any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives.
(b)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default,
the Lender may exercise all rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and
enforce all other rights and remedies under applicable law.
(c)    After the exercise of remedies provided for in this Section 8.1 (or after
the Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have
automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in the first
sentence of Section 8.1(a)), any amounts received by the Lender on account of
the Obligations shall be applied by the Lender to the payment of the Obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other amounts as shall
from time to time have become due and payable by the Borrower to the Lender
under the Loan Documents as Lender may decide in its sole discretion.
8.2.     Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lender to exercise
any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be
a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a
Credit Extension notwithstanding the existence of an Event of Default or the
inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Credit
Extension shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial
exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation
of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be
valid unless in writing signed by the Lender required pursuant to Section 9.1,
and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies
contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all
shall be available to the Lender until (a) each and all of the Obligations have
been irrevocably paid and performed in full, and (b) the Lender no longer has
any commitment to provide any financial accommodations to the Borrower under any
Loan Document.

Document, and the Borrower or the Lender shall so request, the Lender and the
Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to
preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP, provided

ARTICLE XI

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS
11.1
    Successors and Assigns.

37
{02418409.4}

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

(a)     General. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lender and their
respective successors and permitted assigns, except the Borrower shall not have
the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without
the prior written consent of the Lender. The Lender may at any time sell,
assign, transfer, grant participations in, or otherwise dispose of any portion
of its rights and obligations under the Loans, the Facility L/Cs, and the Loan
Documents to any other Person (“Transferees”). The Lender may disclose to any
Transferee and to any prospective Transferee any and all financial information
in the Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower or any Subsidiary which has
been delivered to the Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary
pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to the Lender by or on
behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in connection with the Lender’s credit
evaluation of the Borrower or any Subsidiary prior to entering into this
Agreement. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that this Section 11.1 does
not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without
limitation, any pledge or assignment by the Lender of all or any portion of its
rights under this Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank.
(b)     Benefit of Certain Provisions. The Borrower agrees that each Transferee
to which a participation is granted (each, a “Participant”) shall be deemed to
have the right of setoff provided in Section 10.1 in respect of its
participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same
extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it
as a Lender under the Loan Documents, provided that the Lender shall retain the
right of setoff provided in Section 10.1 with respect to the amount of
participating interests sold to each Participant. The Borrower further agrees
that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2,
3.3, 3.4, and 9.6 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its
interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.1, provided that (i) a Participant
shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1 or 3.2
than the Lender would have received had it retained such interest for its own
account, unless the sale of such interest to such Participant is made with the
prior written consent of the Borrower, and (ii) a Participant shall not be
entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.3 than the Lender would
have received had it retained such interest for its own account except to the
extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in
treaty, law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any Governmental Authority) that occurs after the Participant
acquired the applicable participation.

Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Lender,
and when the Lender shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken
together, bear the signatures of each of the parties hereto, and thereafter
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a
signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

“execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any assignment
and assumption agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the
keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal
effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use
of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as
provided for in any

40
{02418409.4}

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

applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act, or any other state laws based on the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act. The Lender is authorized to create electronic images and to
destroy paper originals of any imaged documents and any such images maintained
by the Lender as a part of its normal business processes shall be given the same
legal effect as the paper originals. The Lender is authorized, when appropriate,
to convert any instrument into a “transferable record” under the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act (“UETA”), with the image of such instrument in the
Lender’s possession constituting an “authoritative copy” under UETA.
ARTICLE XIV

IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF
ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT
IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE LENDER TO
BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
