THIS OMNIBUS AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”) is made as of May 15, 2014 (the
“Effective Date”) by and among PLEXUS CORP., a Wisconsin corporation (the
“Borrower”), the lenders listed on the signature pages hereto (the “Lenders”)
and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity,
the “Administrative Agent”), under (i) that certain Credit Agreement, dated as
of May 15, 2012 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to
time prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the
Borrower, the financial institutions party thereto from time to time as lenders
and the Administrative Agent and (ii) that certain Guaranty, dated as of May 15,
2012 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Guaranty”), by and among the Subsidiaries of the Borrower party thereto from
time to time (the “Guarantors”) in favor of the Administrative Agent, on behalf
of the Lenders. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein
shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement (as
defined below).

WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Guarantors have requested that the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent agree to make certain modifications to the Credit Agreement
and the Guaranty; and
WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent
have so agreed on the terms and conditions set forth herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, the terms and
conditions contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Borrower, the
Guarantors, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby agree as follows.
ARTICLE I - AMENDMENTS
1.1.    Amendments to Credit Agreement. Effective as of the Effective Date but
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV
below, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as set forth in the marked terms
on Exhibit A-1 attached hereto including the amended Schedules attached thereto
(the “Amended Credit Agreement”). In Exhibit A-1 hereto, deletions of text in
the Amended Credit Agreement are indicated by struck-through text, and
insertions of text are indicated by bold, double-underlined text. Exhibit A-2
attached hereto sets forth a clean copy of the Amended Credit Agreement, after
giving effect to such amendments. This Amendment shall constitute a Credit
Document.
1.2.    Amendments to Guaranty. Effective as of the Effective Date but subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV below,
the Guaranty is hereby amended as follows:
a.    Section 1 of the Guaranty is hereby amended to add the following clause
(e) immediately after clause (d) appearing therein:
“(e)    As of the date hereof, and each day that the Borrower or a Subsidiary
enters into a swap, such Guarantor is an “eligible contract participant” as
defined in the Commodity Exchange Act.”

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

b.    Clause (iii) of Section 2 of the Guaranty is hereby amended to add the
following clause at the end thereof:
“(but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, all Excluded Swap Obligations)”.

c.    The following Section 23 is hereby added immediately following Section 22
of the Guaranty:
“Section 23. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally
absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or
other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to
honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of all Hedging
Liabilities (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be
liable under this Section 23 for the maximum amount of such liability that can
be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 23, or
otherwise under this Guaranty, voidable under applicable law relating to
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).
The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 23 shall
remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been
fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than
Unliquidated Obligations) and the Commitments and all Facility LCs issued under
the Credit Agreement shall have terminated or expired or, in the case of all
Facility LCs, are fully collateralized on terms reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 23
constitute, and this Section 23 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell,
support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Guarantor for all
purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Guarantor or a Swap
Counterparty makes a written representation to the Lenders in connection with
this Guaranty, a swap, or any master agreement governing a swap to the effect
that such Guarantor is or will be an “eligible contract participant” as defined
in the Commodity Exchange Act on the date the Guaranty becomes effective with
respect to such swap (this date shall be the date of the execution of the swap
if the corresponding Guaranty is then in effect, and otherwise it shall be the
date of execution and delivery of such Guaranty unless the Guaranty specifies a
subsequent effective date), and such representation proves to have been
incorrect when made or deemed to have been made, the Lenders reserve all of
their contractual and other rights and remedies, at law or in equity, including
(to the extent permitted by applicable law) the right to claim, and pursue a
separate cause of action, for damages as a result of such misrepresentation,
provided that such Guarantor’s liability for such damages shall not exceed the
amount of the Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to such swap. As used
herein, “Qualified ECP Guarantor” means, in respect of any Swap Obligation, each
Guarantor that has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 at the time the relevant
guarantee or grant of the relevant security interest becomes effective with
respect to such Swap Obligation or such other Person as constitutes an “eligible
contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations
promulgated thereunder and can cause another Person to qualify as an “eligible
contract participant” at such time by entering into a keepwell under Section
1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.”

1.3.    Consent. Subject to execution and delivery of the Aerospace Joinder (as
defined below) on the Effective Date, the Lenders hereby consent to the fact
that Plexus Aerospace, Defense

2

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

and Security Services, LLC was not joined as a Guarantor within thirty (30) days
after it became a Domestic Subsidiary, as required pursuant to Section 6.19 of
the Credit Agreement.
ARTICLE II - TERM-REVOLVER CONVERSION
Effective as of the Effective Date but subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions precedent set forth in Article IV below, the Borrower hereby elects
to exercise the Term-Revolver Conversion pursuant to Section 2.7(b) of the
Amended Credit Agreement by converting the entirety of the Term Loans
outstanding immediately preceding the Effective Date to Revolving Loans. The
Lenders hereby waive the three (3) Business Day notice requirement for the
Term-Revolver Conversion set forth in Section 2.7(b). Schedule 1 to the Credit
Agreement is hereby amended as set forth in Schedule 1 attached to Exhibits A-1
and A-2 to give effect to the Term-Revolver Conversion.
ARTICLE III - REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
The Borrower and each of the Guarantors hereby represent and warrant as follows:
3.1.    This Amendment and the Credit Agreement and Guaranty as amended hereby
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower and each of the
Guarantors and are enforceable against the Borrower and each of the Guarantors
in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights generally.
3.2.    As of the date hereof and after giving effect to the terms of this
Amendment, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and (ii) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth

the Facility Termination Date, each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make (a) Revolving Loans to the
Borrower in Agreed Currencies and participate in Facility LCs issued upon the
request of the Borrower, provided that, (i) after giving effect to the making of
each such Loan and the issuance of each such Facility LC, the Dollar Amount of
such Lender’s Revolving Exposure shall not exceed its Revolving Commitment, (ii)
after giving effect to the making of each such Loan and the issuance of each
such Facility LC, the aggregate Dollar Amount of the Revolving Exposures in
Agreed Currencies other than Dollars shall not exceed the Maximum Foreign
Currency Amount, and (iii) all Base Rate Loans shall be made in Dollars and (b)
a Term Loan in Dollars to the Borrower on the Effective Date, in an amount equal
to such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment by making immediately available funds
available to the Administrative Agent’s designated account, not later than the
time specified by the Administrative Agent. Subject to the terms of this
Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans at any
time prior to the Facility Termination Date. Amounts repaid in respect of Term
Loans may not be reborrowed. Unless previously terminated, (i) the Term Loan
Commitments shall terminate at 1:00 p.m. (Milwaukee time) on the Effective Date
and (ii) all other Commitments shall terminate on the Facility Termination Date.
The LC Issuer will issue Facility LCs hereunder on the terms and conditions set

2.2.    Determination of Dollar Amounts; Required Payments; Termination. The
Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Amount of: (a) each Advance as of
the date three (3) Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date or, if applicable,
date of conversion/continuation of such Advance, and (b) all outstanding
Advances on and as of the last Business Day of each quarter and on any other

any time the Dollar Amount of (i) the aggregate Revolving Exposures exceeds the
aggregate Revolving Commitments, (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure
exceeds the Aggregate Commitment or (iii) the aggregate Dollar Amount of the
Revolving Exposures in Agreed Currencies other than Dollars exceeds the Maximum
Foreign Currency Amount, the Borrower shall immediately make a payment on the
Loans or Cash Collateralize LC Obligations in an account with the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 2.19(k) sufficient to eliminate such excess. The
Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure and all other unpaid Obligations of the
Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be paid in full

2.3.    Ratable Loans; Types of Advances. Each Revolving Advance hereunder
(other than any Swing Line Loan) shall consist of Revolving Loans made from the

combination thereof, selected by the Borrower in accordance with

21

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

Sections 2.8 and 2.9, or Swing Line Loans selected by the Borrower in accordance
with Section 2.4. Each Term Loan Advance hereunder shall consist of Term Loans
made from the several Term Lenders ratably according to their Pro Rata Shares on
the Effective Date. The Term Loan Advances may be Base Rate Advances or
Eurocurrency Advances.
2.4.    Swing Line Loans.
(a)    Amount of Swing Line Loans. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions
precedent set forth in Section 4.2 and, if such Swing Line Loan is to be made on
the date of the initial Advance hereunder, the satisfaction of the conditions
precedent set forth in Section 4.1 as well, from and including the date of this
Agreement and prior to the Facility Termination Date, the Swing Line Lender may,
at its option, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, make
Swing Line Loans in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time in an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed the Swing Line Sublimit, provided that the
Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure shall not at any time exceed the Aggregate
Commitment, and provided further that at no time shall the sum of (i) the Swing
Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Swing Line Loans, plus (ii) the outstanding
Revolving Loans made by the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.1, plus
(iii) the Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the LC Obligations, exceed the
Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Commitment at such time. Subject to the terms of
this Agreement (including, without limitation the discretion of the Swing Line
Lender), the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swing Line Loans at any
time prior to the Facility Termination Date.
(b)    Borrowing Notice. In order to borrow a Swing Line Loan, the Borrower
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender irrevocable
notice (a “Swing Line Borrowing Notice”) not later than 12:00 noon (Milwaukee
time) on the Borrowing Date of each Swing Line Loan, specifying (i) the
applicable Borrowing Date (which date shall be a Business Day), and (ii) the
aggregate amount of the requested Swing Line Loan which shall be an amount not

(c)    Making of Swing Line Loans; Participations. Not later than 2:00 p.m.

Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII. The
Administrative Agent will promptly make the funds so received from the Swing
Line Lender available to the Borrower on the Borrowing Date at the
Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address. Each time that a Swing Line Loan is
made by the Swing Line Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4(c), the Swing Line
Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have
unconditionally and irrevocably sold to each Lender and each Lender shall be
deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and
irrevocably purchased from the Swing Line Lender a participation in such Swing
Line Loan in proportion to its Pro Rata Share.
(d)    Repayment of Swing Line Loans. Each Swing Line Loan shall be paid in full
by the Borrower on the date selected by the Administrative Agent. In addition,
the Swing Line Lender may at any time in its sole discretion with respect to any
outstanding Swing Line Loan, require each Lender to fund the participation
acquired by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.4(c) or require each Lender
(including the Swing Line Lender) to make a Revolving Loan in the amount

22

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

of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan (including, without
limitation, any interest accrued and unpaid thereon), for the purpose of
repaying such Swing Line Loan. Not later than 12:00 noon (Milwaukee time) on the
date of any notice received pursuant to this Section 2.4(d), each Lender shall
make available its required Revolving Loan, in funds immediately available to
the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII.
Revolving Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.4(d) shall initially be Base
Rate Loans and thereafter may be continued as Base Rate Loans or converted into
Eurocurrency Loans in the manner provided in Section 2.9 and subject to the
other conditions and limitations set forth in this Article II. Unless a Lender
shall have notified the Swing Line Lender, prior to the Swing Line Lender’s
making any Swing Line Loan, that any applicable condition precedent set forth in
Sections 4.1 or 4.2 had not then been satisfied, such Lender’s obligation to
make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.4(d) to repay Swing Line Loans
or to fund the participation acquired pursuant to Section 2.4(c) shall be
unconditional, continuing, irrevocable and absolute and shall not be affected by
any circumstances, including, without limitation, (a) any set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender or any other Person,
(b) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, (c) any
adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, or (d)
any other circumstances, happening or event whatsoever. In the event that any
Lender fails to make payment to the Administrative Agent of any amount due under
this Section 2.4(d), interest shall accrue thereon at the Federal Funds
Effective Rate for each day during the period commencing on the date of demand
and ending on the date such amount is received and the Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation the
principal and interest otherwise payable to such Lender hereunder until the
Administrative Agent receives such payment from such Lender or such obligation
is otherwise fully satisfied. On the Facility Termination Date, the Borrower
shall repay in full the outstanding principal balance of the Swing Line Loans.
2.5.    Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share a commitment fee
at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Fee Rate on the average daily
Available Aggregate Revolving Commitment from the date hereof to and including
the Facility Termination Date, payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date
in the months of April, July, October and January and on the Facility
Termination Date. Swing Line Loans shall not count as usage of the Aggregate
Commitment for the purpose of calculating the commitment fee due hereunder;
provided that Swing Line Loans will count as usage of the Swing Line Lender’s
Commitment for the purpose of calculating the commitment fee due hereunder.
2.6.    Minimum Amount of Each Revolving Advance. Each Eurocurrency Revolving
Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $2,000,000 and incremental amounts in
integral multiples of $100,000, and each Base Rate Revolving Advance (other than
an Advance to repay Swing Line Loans) shall be in the minimum amount of
$1,000,000 and incremental amounts in integral multiples of $100,000, provided,
however, that any Base Rate Revolving Advance may be in the amount of the
Available Aggregate Revolving Commitment.
2.7.    Reductions in Aggregate Commitment; Optional Principal Payments;
Term-Revolver Conversion.

23

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

(a)    The Borrower may permanently reduce the aggregate Revolving Commitments

Lenders in integral multiples of $1,000,000, upon at least five (5) Business
Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m. (Milwaukee

however, that the amount of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Revolving
Lenders may not be reduced below the aggregate Revolving Exposures. All accrued
commitment fees shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of the
obligations of the Lenders to make Credit Extensions hereunder. The Borrower may
from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Base Rate
Advances (other than Swing Line Loans), or, in a minimum aggregate amount of
$1,000,000, any portion of the aggregate outstanding Base Rate Advances (other

the Administrative Agent. The Borrower may at any time pay, without penalty or
premium, all outstanding Swing Line Loans, or any portion of the outstanding

from time to time pay, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification
amounts required by Section 3.4 but without penalty or premium, all outstanding

portion of the aggregate outstanding Eurocurrency Advances upon at least two (2)
Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m.

Loans in inverse order of maturity.
(b)    The Borrower may elect to convert the aggregate principal amount of all
outstanding Term Loans into Revolving Loans (with a corresponding increase in
Revolving Commitments) on and after the Term-Revolver Conversion Date (the
“Term-Revolver Conversion”). The Borrower shall only be entitled to exercise one
Term-Revolver Conversion on and after the Term-Revolver Conversion Date. At
least three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which the Term-Revolver
Conversion is requested to occur, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders (i) a written notice of the Borrower’s
intent to effect the Term-Revolver Conversion and (ii) resolutions of the Board

before and after giving effect to such conversion. No Term-Revolver Conversion
shall occur if such conditions are not satisfied as of the conversion date. No
consent from any Lender shall be required to give effect to such conversion.
Schedule 1 shall be automatically modified as of the conversion date to give
effect to the Term-Revolver Conversion. Upon such conversion date, each Lender
with outstanding Term Loans shall have its Revolving Commitment increased by the
aggregate principal amount of such Term Loans (with a corresponding increase in
its Revolving Exposure). Thereafter, such Term Loans shall no longer remain
outstanding.
2.8.    Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Advances. The
Borrower shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each Eurocurrency

shall continue as a Eurocurrency Advance until the end of the then applicable
Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurocurrency Advance shall be
automatically converted into a Base Rate Advance unless (x) such Eurocurrency
Advance is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.7 or (y) the Borrower
shall have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice (as
defined below) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such
Eurocurrency Advance continue as a Eurocurrency Advance for the same or another
Interest Period. Each Eurocurrency Advance denominated in an Agreed Currency

same Agreed Currency with an Interest Period of one month unless (x) such
Eurocurrency Advance is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.7 or (y) the
Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation
Notice (as defined below) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period,
such Eurocurrency Advance continue as a Eurocurrency Advance for the same or
another Interest Period or that such Eurocurrency Advance be converted to an
Advance in Dollars. Subject to the terms of Section 2.6, the Borrower may elect
from time to time to convert all or any part of a Base Rate Advance (other than
a Swing Line Loan) into a Eurocurrency Advance. The Borrower shall give the

but excluding the date it becomes due or is converted into a Eurocurrency
Advance pursuant to Section 2.9 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Base
Rate for such day. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the day such Swing
Line Loan is made to but excluding the date it is paid, at a rate per annum
equal to, at the Borrower’s option, the Base Rate for such day plus an
applicable margin agreed between the Borrower and the Swing Line Lender or the
Daily Eurocurrency Rate. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any
Advance maintained as a Base Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with
each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Eurocurrency Advance shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the
first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the
last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined by the
Administrative Agent as applicable to such Eurocurrency Advance based upon the
Borrower’s selections under Sections 2.8 and 2.9 and the Pricing Schedule. No
Interest Period may end after the Facility Termination Date.
2.11.    Rates Applicable After Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in Section 2.8, 2.9 or 2.10, during the continuance of a
Default or Event of Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice

Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.3 requiring unanimous consent
of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be
made as, converted into or continued as a Eurocurrency Advance. During the
continuance of an Event of Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by
notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the
Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.3 requiring
unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that (i)
each Advance in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars shall be converted to an
Advance in the Approximate Equivalent Amount in Dollars, (ii) each Eurocurrency
Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period
at the rate otherwise applicable to such Interest Period plus 2.00% per annum,
(iii) each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus 2.00% per annum, and (iv) the LC
Fee shall be increased by 2.00% per annum, provided that, during the continuance
of an Event of Default under Section 7.6 or 7.7, the interest rates set forth in
clauses (ii) and (iii) above and the increase in the

26

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

LC Fee set forth in clause (iv) above shall be applicable to all Credit
Extensions without any election or action on the part of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender. After an Event of Default has been waived, the interest
rate applicable to advances and the LC Fee shall revert to the rates applicable
prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default.
2.12.    Method of Payment; Repayment of Term Loans.
(a)    Each Advance shall be repaid and each payment of interest thereon shall
be paid in the currency in which such Advance was made. All payments of the
Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately
available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s
address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation
of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to
the Borrower, by 12:00 noon (Milwaukee time) on the date when due and shall
(except (i) with respect to repayments of Swing Line Loans, (ii) in the case of
Reimbursement Obligations for which the LC Issuer has not been fully indemnified
by the Lenders, or (iii) as otherwise specifically required hereunder) be
applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders. Each payment
delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be
delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type
of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified
pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice
received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. The Administrative Agent
is hereby authorized to charge the account of the Borrower maintained with U.S.
Bank for each payment of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligations and fees
as it becomes due hereunder. Each reference to the Administrative Agent in this
Section 2.12 shall also be deemed to refer, and shall apply equally, to the LC
Issuer, in the case of payments required to be made by the Borrower to the LC
Issuer pursuant to Section 2.19(f).
(b)    The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each
Revolving Loan on the Facility Termination Date. The Borrower shall repay the

$3,750,000
September 28, 2012
$3,750,000
December 31, 2012

making of any Advance in any currency other than Dollars, currency control or
exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such currency, or
any other event occurs, in each case with the

27

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

result that the type of currency in which the Advance was made (the “Original
Currency”) no longer exists or would no longer be an Eligible Currency or the
Borrower is not able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Lenders in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by the
Borrower hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when due in Dollars in
an amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of repayment) of such
payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Borrower take
all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange
regulations.
2.13.    Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) Each Lender shall
maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing
the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by
such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest
payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will
record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Agreed Currency and Type
thereof and the Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any
principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (iii) the original stated amount of each
Facility LC and the amount of LC Obligations outstanding at any time, and (iv)
the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the
Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.
(c)    The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs
(a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of
the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the
Administrative Agent or any 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.
(d)    Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by promissory notes
representing its Revolving Loans, Term Loans and Swing Line Loans, respectively,
substantially in the form of Exhibit E, with appropriate changes for notes
evidencing Revolving Loans, Term Loans or Swing Line Loans (each a “Note”). In
such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such
Note or Notes payable to the order of such Lender in a form supplied by the
Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note or Notes and
interest thereon shall at all times (prior to any assignment pursuant to Section
12.3) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee
named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns
any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be
evidenced as described in clauses (b) (i) and (ii) above.
2.14.    Telephonic Notices. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections
of Agreed Currencies and Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on
telephonic notices made by any Person or Persons the Administrative Agent or any
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 and Conversion/Continuation Notices to be given
telephonically. The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative
Agent a written confirmation (which may include e-mail) of each telephonic
notice authenticated by an Authorized Officer. If the written

28

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

confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error. The parties agree to prepare
appropriate documentation to correct any such error within ten (10) days after
discovery by any party to this Agreement.
2.15.    Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on
each Base Rate Advance and each Swing Line Loan shall be payable on each Payment
Date, commencing with the first such Payment Date to occur after the date hereof
and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Advance shall be payable
on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the
Eurocurrency Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at
maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Advance having an Interest
Period longer than three (3) months shall also be payable on the last day of
each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest accrued pursuant
to Section 2.11 shall be payable on demand. Interest on all Advances and fees
shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year,
except that (a) interest at the Prime Rate shall be calculated for actual days
elapsed on the basis of a 365/366-day year and (b) interest on Loans in Agreed
Currencies for which a 365/366-day year is the market convention for such
calculations shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a
365/366-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but
not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior
to 12:00 noon (local time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal
of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business
Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
2.16.    Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment
Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify
each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Commitment reduction notice,
Borrowing Notice, Swing Line Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice,
and repayment notice received by it hereunder. Promptly after notice from the LC
Issuer, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each
request for issuance of a Facility LC hereunder. The Administrative Agent will
notify each Lender of the currency and interest rate applicable to each
Eurocurrency Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will
give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.
2.17.    Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Advances and its
participation in any LC Obligations and the LC Issuer may book the Facility LCs
at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the
case may be, and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All
terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the
Loans, Facility LCs, participations in LC Obligations and any Notes issued
hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may
be, for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender and the LC
Issuer may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in
accordance with Article XIII, designate replacement or additional Lending
Installations through which Loans will be made by it or Facility LCs will be
issued by it and for whose account Loan payments or payments with respect to
Facility LCs are to be made.

29

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

2.18.    Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Borrower
or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the
date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i)
in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the
Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment,
the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The
Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such
payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If
such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such
payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on
demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount
so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during
the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the
Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such
amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the
greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation or (y) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate
applicable to the relevant Loan.
2.19.    Facility LCs.
(a)    Issuance. The LC Issuer hereby agrees, on the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement, to issue standby and commercial Letters of Credit
denominated in Dollars or other Agreed Currencies (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 date of this Agreement 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 Dollar Amount of the
outstanding LC Obligations shall not exceed $10,000,000, (ii) the aggregate
Dollar Amount of the Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the aggregate
Revolving Commitments and (iii) the aggregate Dollar Amount of the Revolving
Exposures in Agreed Currencies other than Dollars shall not exceed the Maximum
Foreign Currency Amount. No Facility LC shall have an expiry date later than the
earlier to occur of (x) the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination
Date and (y) one (1) year after its issuance; provided, however, that the expiry
date of a Facility LC may be up to one (1) year later than the fifth Business
Day prior to the Facility Termination Date if the Borrower has posted on or
before the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date cash
collateral in the Facility LC Collateral Account on terms satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent in an amount equal to 105% of the LC Obligations with
respect to such Facility LC.
(b)    Participations. Upon the issuance or Modification by the LC Issuer of a
Facility LC in accordance with this Section 2.19, the LC Issuer shall be deemed,
without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and
irrevocably sold to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed, without
further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably
purchased from the LC Issuer, a participation in such Facility LC (and each
Modification thereof) and the related LC Obligations in proportion to its Pro
Rata Share.

30

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

(c)    Notice. Subject to Section 2.19(a), the Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent notice prior to 10:00 a.m. (Milwaukee time) at least two
(2) 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. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify the LC Issuer and each Lender, of the contents thereof and
of the amount of such Lender’s participation in such proposed Facility LC. The
issuance or Modification by the LC Issuer 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 LC
Issuer 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 LC Issuer shall have reasonably requested (each, a “Facility LC
Application”). The LC Issuer shall have no independent duty to ascertain whether
the conditions set forth in Article IV have been satisfied; provided, however,
that the LC Issuer shall not issue a Facility LC if, on or before the proposed
date of issuance, the LC Issuer shall have received notice from the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders that any such condition has not
been satisfied or waived. 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.
(d)    LC Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata
Shares, with respect to each Facility LC, a letter of credit fee at a per annum
rate equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Loans in effect from time
to time on the average daily undrawn stated amount under such Facility LC, such
fee to be payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date in the months of
April, July, October and January (the “LC Fee”). The Borrower shall also pay to
the LC Issuer for its own account (x) a fronting fee in an amount equal to
0.125% per annum of the average daily undrawn stated amount under such Facility
LC, such fee to be payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date in the
months of April, July, October and January and (y) on demand, all amendment,
drawing and other fees regularly charged by the LC Issuer to its letter of
credit customers and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the LC
Issuer in connection with the issuance, Modification, administration or payment
of any Facility LC.
(e)    Administration; Reimbursement by Lenders. Upon receipt from the
beneficiary of any Facility LC of any demand for payment under such Facility LC,
the LC Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify the Borrower and each other Lender as to the amount to be
paid by the LC Issuer as a result of such demand and the proposed payment date
(the “LC Payment Date”). The responsibility of the LC Issuer to the Borrower and
each Lender 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 such Facility
LC. The LC Issuer shall endeavor to exercise the same care in the issuance and
administration of the Facility LCs as it does with respect to letters of credit
in which no participations are granted, it being understood that in the absence
of any gross negligence or willful misconduct by the LC Issuer, each Lender
shall be unconditionally and irrevocably liable without regard to the occurrence
of any Event of Default or any condition precedent whatsoever, to reimburse the
LC Issuer on demand for (i) such Lender’s

31

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

Pro Rata Share of the amount of each payment made by the LC Issuer under each
Facility LC to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant
to Section 2.19(f) below and there are not funds available in the Facility LC
Collateral Account to cover the same, plus (ii) interest on the foregoing amount
to be reimbursed by such Lender, for each day from the date of the LC Issuer’s
demand for such reimbursement (or, if such demand is made after 11:00 a.m.
(Milwaukee time) on such date, from the next succeeding Business Day) to the
date on which such Lender pays the amount to be reimbursed by it, at the greater
of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative
Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(f)    Reimbursement by Borrower. The Borrower shall be irrevocably and
unconditionally obligated to reimburse the LC Issuer on or before the applicable
LC Payment Date for any amounts to be paid by the LC Issuer upon any drawing
under any Facility LC, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities
of any kind; provided that neither the Borrower nor any Lender shall hereby be
precluded from asserting any claim for direct (but not consequential) damages
suffered by the Borrower or such Lender to the extent, but only to the extent,
caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the LC Issuer in
determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC issued by it
complied with the terms of such Facility LC or (ii) the LC Issuer’s failure to
pay under any Facility LC issued by it after the presentation to it of a request
strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC. All such
amounts paid by the LC Issuer 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 Base Rate Advances for such day if such day falls
on or before the applicable LC Payment Date and (y) the sum of 2.00% plus the
rate applicable to Base Rate Advances for such day if such day falls after such
LC Payment Date. The LC Issuer will pay to each Lender ratably in accordance
with its Pro Rata Share all amounts received by it from the Borrower for
application in payment, in whole or in part, of the Reimbursement Obligation in
respect of any Facility LC issued by the LC Issuer, but only to the extent such
Lender has made payment to the LC Issuer in respect of such Facility LC pursuant
to Section 2.19(e). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
(including without limitation the submission of a Borrowing Notice in compliance
with Section 2.8 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.
(g)    Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.19
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 LC Issuer, any Lender or any
beneficiary of a Facility LC. The Borrower further agrees with the LC Issuer and
the Lenders that the LC Issuer and the Lenders 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
transferee. The LC Issuer shall not be liable for any error, omission,

32

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

interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or
advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Facility LC. The Borrower
agrees that any action taken or omitted by the LC Issuer or any Lender under or
in connection with each Facility LC and the related drafts and documents, if
done without gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding upon the
Borrower and shall not put the LC Issuer or any Lender under any liability to
the Borrower. Nothing in this Section 2.19(g) is intended to limit the right of
the Borrower to make a claim against the LC Issuer for damages as contemplated
by the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.19(f).
(h)    Actions of LC Issuer. The LC Issuer 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 LC Issuer.
The LC Issuer shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action
under this Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or
concurrence of the Required Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate or it
shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against
any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of
taking or continuing to take any such action. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 2.19, the LC Issuer shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in
accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any
action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the
Lenders and any future holders of a participation in any Facility LC.
(i)    Indemnification. The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless each Lender, the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent, 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 such Lender, the LC Issuer or
the Administrative Agent may incur (or which may be claimed against such Lender,
the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent 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 LC Issuer may incur by reason of or in connection with
(i) the failure of any other Lender to fulfill or comply with its obligations to
the LC Issuer hereunder (but nothing herein contained shall affect any rights
the Borrower may have against any Defaulting Lender) or (ii) by reason of or on
account of the LC Issuer 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 LC Issuer, evidencing the appointment of such successor
Beneficiary; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any
Lender, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent 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 LC Issuer in
determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC complied with the
terms of such Facility LC or (y) the LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any
Facility LC after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with
the terms and conditions

33

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

of such Facility LC. Nothing in this Section 2.19(i) is intended to limit the
obligations of the Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement.
(j)    Lenders’ Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with
its Pro Rata Share, indemnify the LC Issuer, its affiliates and their respective
directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the
Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and
disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result
from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct or the LC Issuer’s
failure to pay under any Facility LC after the presentation to it of a request
strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Facility LC) that such
indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Section 2.19 or any
action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder.
(k)    Facility LC Collateral Account. The Borrower agrees that it will, upon
the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders and until the
final expiration date of any Facility LC and thereafter as long as any amount is
payable to the LC Issuer or the Lenders in respect of any Facility LC, maintain
a special collateral account pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent (the “Facility LC Collateral Account”), in the name of such
Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent,
for the benefit of the Lenders and in which such Borrower shall have no interest
other than as set forth in Section 8.1. The Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and
grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of
the Lenders and the LC Issuer, a security interest in all of the Borrower’s
right, title and interest in and to all funds which may from time to time be on
deposit in the Facility LC Collateral Account to secure the prompt and complete
payment and performance of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent will invest
any funds on deposit from time to time in the Facility LC Collateral Account in
certificates of deposit of U.S. Bank having a maturity not exceeding thirty (30)
days. Nothing in this Section 2.19(k) shall either obligate the Administrative
Agent to require the Borrower to deposit any funds in the Facility LC Collateral
Account or limit the right of the Administrative Agent to release any funds held
in the Facility LC Collateral Account in each case other than as required by
Section 2.22 or Section 8.1.
(l)    Rights as a Lender. In its capacity as a Lender, the LC Issuer shall have
the same rights and obligations as any other Lender.
2.20.    Replacement of Lender. If the Borrower is required pursuant to Section
3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 to make any additional payment to any Lender or if any Lender’s
obligation to make or continue, or to convert Base Rate Advances into
Eurocurrency Advances shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.3 or if any
Lender defaults in its obligation to make a Loan, reimburse the LC Issuer
pursuant to Section 2.19(e) or the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.4(d)
or declines to approve an amendment or waiver that requires the consent of all
Lenders or all Lenders directly affected thereby that is approved by the
Required Lenders or otherwise becomes a Defaulting Lender (any Lender so
affected an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may elect, if such amounts continue
to be charged or such suspension is still effective, to replace such Affected
Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement,
and provided further that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank
or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the
Administrative

34

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

Agent (any existing Lender being deemed acceptable) shall agree, as of such
date, to purchase for cash at par the Advances and other Obligations due to the
Affected Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to an
assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit C and to become a Lender for all
purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected
Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of
Section 12.3 applicable to assignments, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such
Affected Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement all interest,
fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Affected Lender by the
Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without
limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and
3.5.
2.21.    Limitation of Interest. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders intend to strictly comply with all applicable laws, including applicable
usury laws. Accordingly, the provisions of this Section 2.21 shall govern and
control over every other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
which conflicts or is inconsistent with this Section 2.21, even if such
provision declares that it controls. As used in this Section 2.21, the term
“interest” includes the aggregate of all charges, fees, benefits or other
compensation which constitute interest under applicable law, provided that, to
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any non-principal payment
shall be characterized as an expense or as compensation for something other than
the use, forbearance or detention of money and not as interest, and (b) all
interest at any time contracted for, reserved, charged or received shall be
amortized, prorated, allocated and spread, in equal parts during the full term
of this Agreement. In no event shall the Borrower or any other Person be
obligated to pay, or any Lender have any right or privilege to reserve, receive
or retain, (a) any interest in excess of the maximum amount of nonusurious
interest permitted under the applicable laws (if any) of the United States or of
any applicable state, or (b) total interest in excess of the amount which such
Lender could lawfully have contracted for, reserved, received, retained or
charged had the interest been calculated for the full term of this Agreement at
the Highest Lawful Rate. On each day, if any, that the interest rate (the
“Stated Rate”) called for under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the rate at which interest shall accrue shall
automatically be fixed by operation of this sentence at the Highest Lawful Rate
for that day, and shall remain fixed at the Highest Lawful Rate for each day
thereafter until the total amount of interest accrued equals the total amount of
interest which would have accrued if there were no such ceiling rate as is
imposed by this sentence. Thereafter, interest shall accrue at the Stated Rate
unless and until the Stated Rate again exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate when the
provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall again automatically
operate to limit the interest accrual rate. The daily interest rates to be used
in calculating interest at the Highest Lawful Rate shall be determined by
dividing the applicable Highest Lawful Rate per annum by the number of days in
the calendar year for which such calculation is being made. None of the terms
and provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document which
directly or indirectly relate to interest shall ever be construed without
reference to this Section 2.21, or be construed to create a contract to pay for
the use, forbearance or detention of money at an interest rate in excess of the
Highest Lawful Rate. If the term of any Loan or any other Obligation outstanding
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents is shortened by reason of
acceleration of maturity as a result of any Event of Default or by any other
cause, or by reason of any required or permitted prepayment, and if for that (or
any other) reason any Lender at any time, including but not limited to, the
stated

35

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

maturity, is owed or receives (and/or has received) interest in excess of
interest calculated at the Highest Lawful Rate, then and in any such event all
of any such excess interest shall be canceled automatically as of the date of
such acceleration, prepayment or other event which produces the excess, and, if
such excess interest has been paid to such Lender, it shall be credited pro
tanto against the then-outstanding principal balance of the Borrower’s
obligations to such Lender, effective as of the date or dates when the event
occurs which causes it to be excess interest, until such excess is exhausted or
all of such principal has been fully paid and satisfied, whichever occurs first,
and any remaining balance of such excess shall be promptly refunded to its
payor.
2.22.    Defaulting Lenders.

(a)    Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then,
until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent
permitted by applicable law:
(i)
Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove
any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be
restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii)
Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other
amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting
Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or
otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender
pursuant to Section 11.1 shall be applied at such time or times as may be
determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any
amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;
second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such
Defaulting Lender to the LC Issuer and Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to
Cash Collateralize the LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such
Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.22(d); fourth, as the Borrower
may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding
of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its
portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the
Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account (including the Facility LC
Collateral Account) and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such
Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans
under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the LC Issuer’s future Fronting
Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Facility
LCs issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.22(d); sixth, to
the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the LC Issuer or Swing Line
Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained
by any Lender, the LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender
as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this
Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the
payment of any amounts owing to

36

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

the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such
Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; eighth, if
so determined by the Administrative Agent, distributed to the Lenders other than
the Defaulting Lender until the ratio of the Revolving Exposures of such Lenders
to the Revolving Exposures of all Revolving Lenders equals such ratio
immediately prior to the Defaulting Lender’s failure to fund any portion of any
Loans or participations in Facility LCs or Swing Line Loans; and ninth, to such
Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;
provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any
Loans or Facility LC issuances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has
not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the
related Facility LCs were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in
Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to
pay the Credit Extensions of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis
prior to being applied to the payment of any Credit Extensions of such
Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded
participations in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders
pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to Section
2.22(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a
Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting
Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.22(a)(ii) shall be
deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender
irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)
Certain Fees. (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any
commitment fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender
(and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would
have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B)    Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive LC Fees for any
period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent
allocable to its ratable share of the stated amount of Facility LCs for which it
has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.22(d).
(C)    With respect to any commitment fee or LC Fee not required to be paid to
any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall
(x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise
payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s
participation in LC Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to
such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the LC
Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee
otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the LC
Issuer’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and
(z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

37

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

(iv)
Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of
such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans
shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their
respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting
Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in
Section 4.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the
Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time,
the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such
conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause
the aggregate Revolving Exposures of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such
Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall
constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a
Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender,
including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such
Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v)
Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in
clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower
shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or
under law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing
Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the LC
Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 2.22(d).

(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
Swing Line Lender and the LC Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer
a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto,
whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any
conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any
Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par
that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other
actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the
Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Facility LCs and Swing Line
Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments
(without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease
to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made
retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of
the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further,
that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no
change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or
release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having
been a Defaulting Lender.
(c)    New Swing Line Loans/Facility LCs. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting
Lender, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line
Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving
effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) the LC Issuer shall not be required to
issue, extend, renew or increase any Facility LC unless it is satisfied that it
will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

38

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

(d)    Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender,
within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative
Agent or the LC Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower
shall Cash Collateralize the LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such
Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv) and any
Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than
the Minimum Collateral Amount.
(i)
Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any
Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the LC Issuer, and agrees to maintain, a first
priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the
Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of LC
Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (ii) below. If at any time the
Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or
claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer as
herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than
the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the
Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash
Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving
effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(ii)
Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.22 in respect of
Facility LCs shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s
obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Obligations (including, as to
Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such
obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other
application of such Property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(iii)
Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof)
provided to reduce the LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required
to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.22(d) following (i) the
elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of
Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by
the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer that there exists excess Cash
Collateral; provided that, subject to this Section 2.22 the Person providing
Cash Collateral and the LC Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held
to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

2.23.    Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the satisfaction of all conditions
referred to in Article II and Article IV with respect to any Advance or Facility
LC in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars, if there shall occur on or prior
to the date of such Advance or the date of issuance of such Facility LC any
change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions
or currency exchange rates or exchange controls, or any other event, in each
case, which would in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders make it impracticable for the Eurocurrency Loans comprising
such Advance or Facility LC to be denominated in the

39

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

Agreed Currency specified by the Borrower, then the Administrative Agent shall
forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, and such Loans or
Facility LC shall not be denominated in such Agreed Currency but shall be made
on such Borrowing Date in Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related
Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be, as Base
Rate Loans, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least one
(1) Business Day before such date that (i) it elects not to borrow on such date
or (ii) it elects to borrow on such date in a different Agreed Currency, as the
case may be, in which the denomination of such Loans would in the opinion of the
Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders be practicable and in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount
specified in the related Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as
the case may be.
2.24.    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 hereto 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 Administrative Agent could
purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative
Agent’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 any Lender or the Administrative Agent 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 such
Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to
be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the
case may be) 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 such
Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, 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
such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss,
and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum
originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in
the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result
of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under
Section 11.2, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be,
agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower.
2.25.    Extensions of Commitments.
(a)    The Borrower may from time to time, pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 2.25, agree with one or more Lenders holding Commitments to extend the
termination date, and otherwise modify the terms of such Commitments or any
portion thereof (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate
or fees payable in respect of such Commitments or any portion thereof) (each
such modification, an "Extension") pursuant to one or more written offers (each,
an "Extension Offer") made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders, in
each case on a pro rata basis (based on their respective Pro Rata Shares) and on
the same terms to each such Lender. In connection with each Extension, the
Borrower will provide notification to the

40

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

Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders), no later than thirty
(30) days prior to the Facility Termination Date of the requested new
termination date for the extended Commitments (each an "Extended Termination
Date") and the due date for Lender responses. In connection with any Extension,
each Lender wishing to participate in such Extension shall, prior to such due
date, provide the Administrative Agent with a written notice thereof in a form
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any Lender that does not
respond to an Extension Offer by the applicable due date shall be deemed to have
rejected such Extension.
(b)    Each Extension shall be subject to the following:
(i)
no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time
any Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders or at the time of such
Extension;

(ii)
except as to interest rates, fees and termination date, the Commitment of any
Lender extended pursuant to any Extension shall have the same terms as the
Commitments of the Lenders that did not agree to the Extension Offer;

(iii)
the final termination date of the Commitments to be extended pursuant to an
Extension shall be later than the final termination date of the Commitments of
the Lenders that did not agree to the Extension Offer;

(iv)
if the aggregate amount of Commitments in respect of which Lenders shall have
accepted an Extension Offer exceeds the maximum aggregate amount of Commitments
offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to the relevant Extension Offer,
then such Commitments shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based
on the relative Commitments of the Lenders that accepted such Extension Offer;

(v)
all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the
foregoing, and all written communications by the Borrower generally directed to
the applicable Lenders in connection therewith shall be in form and substance
consistent with the foregoing and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent;

(vi)
any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied; and

(vii)
no Extension shall become effective unless, on the proposed effective date of
such Extension, the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 shall be satisfied (with
all references in such Section to a request for a Loan being deemed to be
references to the Extension on the applicable date of such Extension), and the
Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated the
applicable date of such Extension and executed by an Authorized Officer of the
Borrower.

(c)    If at the time any Extension of Commitments (as so extended, "Current
Extension Commitments") becomes effective, there will be Commitments or
Revolving Loans attributable to a prior Extension that will remain outstanding
(collectively, the "Prior Extension Commitments"), then, if the interest rate
spread applicable to any such Current Extension

41

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

Commitments exceeds the interest rate spread applicable to such Prior Extension
Commitments by more than 0.25%, then the interest rate spread applicable to such
Prior Extension Commitments shall be increased so that it equals the interest
rate spread applicable to the Current Extension Commitments (calculated as
provided above).
(d)    The consummation and effectiveness of any Extension will be subject to a
condition set forth in the relevant Extension Offer (a "Minimum Extension
Condition") that a minimum amount be agreed to by the Lenders subject to such
Extension (to be determined in the Borrower’s discretion and specified in the
relevant Extension Offer, but in no event less than $100,000,000, unless another
amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent). For the avoidance of doubt, it
is understood and agreed that the provisions of Section 11.2 will not apply to
Extensions of Commitments pursuant to Extension Offers made pursuant to and in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.25, including to any payment of
interest or fees in respect of any Commitments or Revolving Loans that have been
extended or made pursuant to an Extension at a rate or rates different from
those paid or payable in respect of Commitments or Revolving Loans of Lenders
that did not extend their Commitments, in each case as is set forth in the
relevant Extension Offer.
(e)    The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to
enter into amendments (collectively, "Extension Amendments") to this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in order to establish new
classes of Commitments and Revolving Loans created pursuant to an Extension, in
each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.25. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the
obligation) to seek the advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders with
respect to any matter contemplated by this Section 2.25 and, if the
Administrative Agent seeks such advice or concurrence, the Administrative Agent
shall be permitted to enter into such amendments with the Borrower in accordance
with any instructions received from such Required Lenders and shall also be
entitled to refrain from entering into such amendments with the Borrower unless
and until it shall have received such advice or concurrence; provided, however,
that whether or not there has been a request by the Administrative Agent for any
such advice or concurrence, all such Extension Amendments entered into with the
Borrower by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be binding on the Lenders.
Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extension, the Borrower
and any Subsidiary shall execute such agreements, confirmations or other
documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to accomplish
the purposes of this Section 2.25.
(f)    In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the
Administrative Agent at least ten (10) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as
may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and
shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably established by, or
acceptable to, the Administrative Agent to accomplish the purposes of this
Section 2.25.
2.26.    Increase Option. The Borrower may from time to time elect to increase
the Revolving Commitments, in each case in minimum increments of $25,000,000 or
such lower amount as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree upon, so
long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such increases
does not exceed $100,000,000. The Borrower may arrange for

42

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

any such increase to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing
to an increase in its Revolving Commitment, an “Increasing Lender”), or by one
or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities that are Eligible
Assignees (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an
“Augmenting Lender”), to increase their existing Revolving Commitments, or
extend Revolving Commitments, as the case may be; provided that (i) each
Augmenting Lender and each Increasing Lender shall be subject to the reasonable
approval of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer and (ii)
(x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrower and such Increasing Lender
execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto, and (y) in
the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Borrower and such Augmenting Lender
execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto. No consent
of any Lender (other than the Lenders participating in the increase) shall be
required for any increase in Revolving Commitments pursuant to this
Section 2.26. Increases and new Revolving Commitments created pursuant to this
Section 2.26 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders,
and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no increase in the Revolving Commitments (or in the Revolving
Commitment of any Lender) shall become effective under this paragraph unless,
(i) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase, (A) the
conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.2 shall be satisfied
or waived by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have
received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an
Authorized Officer of the Borrower and (B) the Borrower shall be in compliance
(on a pro forma basis reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) with
the covenants contained in Section 6.18 and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall
have received documents consistent with those delivered on the date hereof as to
the corporate power and authority of the Borrower to borrow hereunder after
giving effect to such increase. On the effective date of any increase in the
Revolving Commitments, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender
shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately
available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of
the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to
such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other
Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of all the
Lenders to equal its Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Revolving Loans, and
(ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding
Revolving Loans as of the date of any increase in the Revolving Commitments
(with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Revolving Loans, with related
Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower,
in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.3). The deemed payments made
pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be
accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in
respect of each Eurocurrency Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the
Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4 if the deemed payment occurs
other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods.

43

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

ARTICLE III
YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES
3.1.    Yield Protection. If, after the date of this Agreement, there occurs any
Change in Law which:
(a)    subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation, the LC
Issuer, or the Administrative Agent 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, any Lender or any
applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer (other than reserves and
assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to
Eurocurrency Advances and Daily Eurocurrency Loans), or
(c)    imposes any other condition (other than Taxes) the result of which is to
increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC
Issuer of making, funding or maintaining its Eurocurrency Loans or Daily
Eurocurrency Loans, or of issuing or participating in Facility LCs, or reduces
any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or
the LC Issuer in connection with its Eurocurrency Loans, or Daily Eurocurrency
Loans, Facility LCs or participations therein, or requires any Lender or any
applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer to make any payment calculated
by reference to the amount of Eurocurrency Loans, or Daily Eurocurrency Loans,
Facility LCs or participations therein held or interest or LC Fees received by
it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender or the LC Issuer as the case may
be,
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Person of
making or maintaining its Loans or Commitment or of issuing or participating in
Facility LCs or to reduce the amount received by such Person in connection with
such Loans or Commitment, Facility LCs or participations therein, then, within
fifteen (15) days after demand by such Person, the Borrower shall pay such
Person, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Person for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.
3.2.    Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender or the LC Issuer
determines the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be
maintained by such Lender or the LC Issuer, any Lending Installation of such
Lender or the LC Issuer, or any corporation or holding company controlling such
Lender or the LC Issuer is increased as a result of (i) a Change in Law or (ii)
any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital
Guidelines, then, within fifteen (15) days of demand by such Lender or the LC
Issuer, the Borrower shall pay such Lender or the LC Issuer the amount necessary
to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such
increased capital or liquidity which such Lender or the LC Issuer determines is
attributable to this Agreement, its Outstanding Credit Exposure or its
Commitment to make Loans

44

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

and issue or participate in Facility LCs, as the case may be, hereunder (after
taking into account such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’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.
3.3.    Availability of Types of Advances; Adequacy of Interest Rate. If the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that deposits of a type
and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurocurrency Advances or Daily
Eurocurrency Loans are not available to such Lenders in the relevant market or
the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Lenders, determines that the
interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Advances or Daily Eurocurrency Loans is
not ascertainable or does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of making
or maintaining Eurocurrency Advances or Daily Eurocurrency Loans, then the
Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of Eurocurrency Advances or
Daily Eurocurrency Loans and require any affected Eurocurrency Advances or Daily
Eurocurrency Loans to be repaid or converted to Base Rate Advances, subject to
the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4.
3.4.    Funding Indemnification. If (a) any payment of a Eurocurrency Advance
occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period,
whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, (b) a Eurocurrency
Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other
than default by the Lenders, (c) a Eurocurrency Loan is converted other than on
the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (d) the Borrower fails
to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date
specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (e) any Eurocurrency Loan
is assigned other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto
as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20, the Borrower
will indemnify each Lender for such Lender’s costs, expenses and Interest
Differential (as determined by such Lender) incurred as a result of such
prepayment. The term “Interest Differential” shall mean that sum equal to the
greater of zero or the financial loss incurred by the Lender resulting from
prepayment, calculated as the difference between the amount of interest such
Lender would have earned (from the investments in money markets as of the
Borrowing Date of such Advance) had prepayment not occurred and the interest
such Lender will actually earn (from like investments in money markets as of the
date of prepayment) as a result of the redeployment of funds from the
prepayment. Because of the short-term nature of this facility, Borrower agrees
that Interest Differential shall not be discounted to its present value.
3.5.    Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party
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 applicable
Loan Party 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 applicable Loan Party 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 3.5) the applicable Lender, the LC Issuer or the

45

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

Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law or at the option of the Administrative Agent
timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Lender, the LC Issuer or the
Administrative Agent, within fifteen (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 3.5) payable or paid by such Lender, the LC Issuer or the
Administrative Agent or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to
such Lender, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent 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 a Lender or LC Issuer (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of a Lender or LC Issuer, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within
fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes and Other
Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party
has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes
and Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do
so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the
provisions of Section 12.2(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant
Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each
case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with
any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such 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 any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall
be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing
to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the
Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due
to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a
Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.5, such Loan Party shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a
receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of
the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f)(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly
completed and executed documentation reasonably requested

46

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

by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be
made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any
Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender
is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the
completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such
documentation set forth in Section 3.5(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below)
shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion,
execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed
cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position
of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Lender that is a United States Person for U.S. federal income Tax
purposes shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior
to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from
time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such
Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(B) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies
as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such
Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income Tax
treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of
interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN
establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax
pursuant to the “interest” article of such Tax treaty and (y) with respect to
any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN
establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax
pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such Tax treaty;

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the
effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section
881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the
meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign
corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed
originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

47

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

(4) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed
originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN,
IRS Form W-8IMY or IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each
beneficial owner, as applicable.

(C) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies
as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such
Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a
basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding
Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to
U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail 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
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law
(including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such
additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such
Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine
the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this
clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of
this Agreement.

(iii)    Each Lender 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 the Borrower and the
Administrative 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 3.5 (including by the payment of additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 3.5), 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

48

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

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 giving rise to such refund 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)    Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.5 shall survive the
resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of
rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments
and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan
Document.

(i)    For purposes of Section 3.5(d) and (f), the term “Lender” includes the LC
Issuer.
3.6.    Selection of Lending Installation; Mitigation Obligations; Lender
Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each
Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its
Eurocurrency Loans or Daily Eurocurrency Loans (in the case of the Swing Line
Lender) to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections
3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurocurrency Advances or
Daily Eurocurrency Loans under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not,
in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender
shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2,
3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the
calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final,
conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.
Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a
Eurocurrency Loan or Daily Eurocurrency Loan shall be calculated as though each
Lender funded its Eurocurrency Loan and the Swing Line Lender funded its Daily
Eurocurrency Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity
corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurocurrency
Rate or Daily Eurocurrency Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is
the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the
written statement of any 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, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and
termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE V
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:
5.1.    Existence and Standing. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is a
corporation, partnership (in the case of Subsidiaries only) or 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 (or comparable status) 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. The Borrower 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 the
Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a

51

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

party and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly
authorized by proper corporate proceedings, and the Loan Documents to which the
Borrower is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the
Borrower enforceable against the Borrower 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
the Borrower 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
or (ii) the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s articles or certificate of
incorporation, partnership agreement, certificate of partnership, articles or
certificate of organization, by-laws, or operating or other management
agreement, as the case may be, 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, where,
solely with respect to this clause (iii), such violation, default or imposition
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 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.
5.4.    Financial Statements. The October 1, 2011 audited consolidated financial
statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and their unaudited financial
statements dated as of December 31, 2011, heretofore delivered to the Lenders
were prepared in accordance with GAAP in effect on the date such statements were
prepared and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial
condition and operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at such date and
the consolidated results of their operations for the period then ended.
5.5.    Material Adverse Change. Since October 1, 2011, there has been no change
in the business, Property, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of
operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.6.    Taxes. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States
federal and state income Tax returns and all other material Tax returns which
are required to be filed by them and have paid all United States federal and
state income Taxes and all other material Taxes due from the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, pursuant to any assessment received
by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except such Taxes, if any, (i) as
are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been
provided in accordance with GAAP and as to which no Lien exists and (ii) in an
aggregate amount not to exceed $1,000,000 at any one time. No Tax Liens have
been filed and, to the Borrower’s knowledge, no claims are being

52

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

asserted with respect to any such Taxes in an aggregate amount in excess of
$1,000,000 at any one time. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of any Taxes or other governmental
charges are adequate.
5.7.    Litigation and Contingent Obligations. There is no litigation,
arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry pending or, to
the knowledge of any of their officers, threatened against or affecting the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect or which seeks to prevent, enjoin or delay the making of
any Credit Extensions. Other than any liability incident to any litigation,
arbitration or proceeding which could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower has no material Contingent Obligations not
provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section
5.4.
5.8.    Subsidiaries. Schedule 5.8 contains an accurate list of all Subsidiaries
of the Borrower as of the date of this Agreement, setting forth their respective
jurisdictions of organization and the percentage of their respective capital
stock or other ownership interests owned by the Borrower or other Subsidiaries.
All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or other ownership
interests of such Subsidiaries have been (to the extent such concepts are
relevant with respect to such ownership interests) duly authorized and issued
and are fully paid and non-assessable.
5.9.    ERISA. With respect to each Plan, the Borrower and all ERISA Affiliates
have paid all required minimum contributions and installments on or before the
due dates provided under Section 430(j) of the Code and could not reasonably be
subject to a lien under Section 430(k) of the Code or Title IV of ERISA. Neither
the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has filed, pursuant to Section 412(c) of
the Code or Section 302(c) of ERISA, an application for a waiver of the minimum
funding standard. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur
that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability
is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.
5.10.    Accuracy of Information. No information, exhibit or report furnished by
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or to any
Lender in connection with the negotiation of, or compliance with, the Loan
Documents contained any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state a
material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not
misleading.
5.11.    Regulation U. Margin stock (as defined in Regulation U) constitutes
less than 25% of the value of those assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
which are subject to any limitation on sale, pledge, or other restriction
hereunder.
5.12.    Material Agreements. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in
default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations,
covenants or conditions contained in (i) any agreement to which it is a party,
which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or
(ii) any agreement or instrument evidencing or governing Indebtedness.
5.13.    Compliance With Laws. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in
compliance in all material respects with all applicable statutes, rules,
regulations, orders and restrictions of any

53

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

domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof having
jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of
their respective Property.
5.14.    Ownership of Properties. Except as set forth in Schedule 5.14, on the
date of this Agreement, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries will have good title,
free of all Liens other than those permitted by Section 6.15, to all of the
Property and assets reflected in the Borrower’s most recent consolidated
financial statements provided to the Administrative Agent as owned by the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries (other than as may have been disposed of in a
manner permitted by Section 6.12(a)).
5.15.    Plan Assets; Prohibited Transactions. The Borrower is not an entity
deemed to hold “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 of an
employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) which is subject to
Title I of ERISA or any plan (within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code),
and neither the execution of this Agreement nor the making of Credit Extensions
hereunder gives rise to a prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section
406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.
5.16.    Environmental Matters. In the ordinary course of its business, the
officers of the Borrower consider the effect of Environmental Laws on the
business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which they
identify and evaluate potential risks and liabilities accruing to the Borrower
due to Environmental Laws. On the basis of this consideration, the Borrower has
concluded its Property and operations and those of its Subsidiaries are in
material compliance with applicable Environmental Laws and that none of Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any liability under Environmental Laws
that individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. To the Borrower’s knowledge, neither the Borrower nor
any Subsidiary has received any notice to the effect that its Property and/or
operations are not in material compliance with any of the requirements of
applicable Environmental Laws or are the subject of any federal or state
investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a
release of any Hazardous Material, which non-compliance or remedial action could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.17.    Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is an
“investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”,
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
5.18.    Insurance. The Borrower maintains, and has caused each Subsidiary to
maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies insurance on
all their Property, liability insurance and environmental insurance in such
amounts, subject to such deductibles and self-insurance retentions and covering
such Properties and risks as is consistent with sound business practice.
5.19.    Solvency. (i) Immediately after the consummation of the transactions to
occur on the date hereof and immediately following the making of each Credit
Extension, if any, made on the date hereof and after giving effect to the
application of the proceeds of such Credit Extensions, (a) the fair value of the
assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, at a fair
valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or
otherwise, of the

54

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

Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; (b) the present fair
saleable value of the Property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay
the probable liability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated
basis on their debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or
otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c)
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be able to pay
their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such
debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d) the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital
with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such
businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted after the date
hereof.
(ii)    The Borrower does not intend to, or to permit any of its Subsidiaries
to, and does not believe that it or any of its Subsidiaries will, incur debts
beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, taking into account the
timing of and amounts of cash to be received by it or any such Subsidiary and
the timing of the amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its
Indebtedness or the Indebtedness of any such Subsidiary.
5.20.    No Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.
5.21.    OFAC; Anti-Terrorism Laws.    
(a)    Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary (i) is a Sanctioned Person,
(ii) has more than 5% of its assets in Sanctioned Countries, or (iii) derives
more than 5% of its operating income from investments in, or transactions with,
Sanctioned Persons or Sanctioned Countries. No part of the proceeds of any Loan
hereunder will be used directly or indirectly to fund any operations in, finance
any investments or activities in or make any payments to, a Sanctioned Person or
a Sanctioned Country. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have not violated any
Anti-Terrorism Laws, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect.
(b)    Neither the making of the Loans hereunder nor the use of the proceeds
thereof will violate the PATRIOT Act, the Trading with the Enemy Act, as
amended, or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States
Treasury Department (31 C.F.R., Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any
enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto or successor statute
thereto. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material
respects with the PATRIOT Act.

Material Adverse Effect;
(e)    any material change in accounting policies of, or financial reporting
practices by, the Borrower or any Subsidiary; and
(f)    any other development, financial or otherwise, which would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

thereto.

to, (i) carry on and conduct its business in substantially the same manner and
in substantially the same fields of enterprise as it is presently conducted,
(ii) do all things necessary to remain duly incorporated or organized, validly

Shortfall Amount, which funds shall be deposited in the Facility LC Collateral
Account.

are deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account, apply such funds to the
payment of the Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other

8.4.    Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders, the LC
Issuer or the Administrative Agent 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 Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.3, 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 Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders until the
Obligations have been paid in full.

contrary notwithstanding, neither the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall be
obligated to extend credit to the Borrower in violation of any limitation or

obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender
shall be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the
Administrative Agent is authorized to act as such). The failure of any Lender to

the Borrower under this Section include costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the Reports described in the following sentence. The Borrower

the Lenders) certain audit reports (the “Reports”) pertaining to the Borrower’s
assets for internal use by U.S. Bank from information furnished to it by or on
behalf of the Borrower, after U.S. Bank has exercised its rights of inspection
pursuant to this Agreement.
(b)    The Borrower hereby further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Administrative Agent, each Arranger, the LC Issuer, each Lender, their
respective affiliates, and each of their directors, officers and employees,
agents and advisors against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments,

any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the
other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby, any actual or
alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any Property owned
or operated by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, any environmental liability
related in any way to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any actual or
prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of
the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether
brought by a third party or by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or the
direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any
Credit Extension hereunder except to the extent that they are determined in a
final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking
indemnification, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
settlement costs. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 9.6 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.
9.7.    Numbers of Documents. All statements, notices, closing documents, and
requests hereunder shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent with
sufficient counterparts so that the Administrative Agent may furnish one to each
of the Lenders.
9.8.    Accounting. Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting
terms used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations
hereunder shall be made in accordance with GAAP in a manner consistent with that
used in preparing the financial statements referred to in Section 5.4 , except
that any calculation or determination which is to be made on a consolidated
basis shall be made for the Borrower and all of its Subsidiaries, including
those Subsidiaries, if any, which are unconsolidated on the Borrower’s audited
financial statements; provided, however that, notwithstanding any other
provision contained herein, 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
Accounting Standards Codification Section

70

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

825-10-25 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial
Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness
or other liabilities of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at “fair value”,
as defined therein, or (ii) any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of
convertible debt instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Codification
Subtopic 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial
Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such
Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such
Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount
thereof. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any
financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall so request, the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders 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 (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders),
provided that, until so amended, such ratio or requirement shall continue to be
computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and the Borrower
shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders reconciliation
statements showing the difference in such calculation, together with the
delivery of monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements required
hereunder.
9.9.    Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is
held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as
to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without
affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation,
enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to
this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.
9.10.    Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrower on the
one hand and the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent on the
other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the
Administrative Agent, any Arranger, the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have any
fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower. Neither the Administrative Agent,
any Arranger, the LC Issuer nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the
Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any
phase of the Borrower’s business or operations. The Borrower agrees that neither
the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have
liability to the Borrower (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for
losses suffered by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any
way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established
by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection
therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court
of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought. No party hereto
shall have any liability with respect to, and each party hereto hereby waives,
releases and agrees not to sue for, any special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages suffered by it in connection with, arising out of, or in any
way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby. It
is agreed that neither Arranger shall, in its capacity as such, have any duties
or responsibilities under the Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each Lender
acknowledges that it has not relied and will not rely on any Arranger in
deciding to enter into the Agreement or any other Loan Document or in taking or
not taking any action.

71

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

9.11.    Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to
hold any confidential information which it may receive from the Borrower in
connection with this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure (i) to its

respective Affiliates, (ii) to legal counsel, accountants, and other
professional advisors to the Administrative Agent or such Lender or to a
Transferee, (iii) to regulatory officials, (iv) to any Person as requested
pursuant to or as required by law, regulation, or legal process, (v) to any
Person in connection with any legal proceeding to which it is a party, (vi) to
its direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements or to legal
counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to such counterparties, and
(vii) to rating agencies if requested or required by such agencies in connection
with a rating relating to the Advances hereunder. Without limiting Section 9.4,
the Borrower agrees that the terms of this Section 9.11 shall set forth the
entire agreement between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and each
Lender with respect to any confidential information previously or hereafter
received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with this
Agreement, and this Section 9.11 shall supersede any and all prior
confidentiality agreements entered into by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender with respect to such confidential information.
9.12.    Nonreliance. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or
looking to any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U) for the repayment of
the Credit Extensions provided for herein.
9.13.    Disclosure. The Borrower and each Lender hereby acknowledge and agree
that U.S. Bank and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in,
make other loans to or have other relationships with the Borrower and its
Affiliates.
9.14.    USA PATRIOT ACT NOTIFICATION. The following notification is provided to
Borrower pursuant to Section 326 of the PATRIOT Act:

information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name
and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender
to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such contractual
representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article X.
Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Administrative Agent,”

72

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

it is expressly understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not
have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document and that the Administrative Agent is merely acting as
the contractual representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are
expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its
capacity as the Lenders’ contractual representative, the Administrative Agent
(i) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders and (ii)
is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are
limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to assert no claim against the
Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for
breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives.
10.2.    Powers. The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise such
powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall have no
implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any
action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents
to be taken by the Administrative Agent.
10.3.    General Immunity. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrower, the
Lenders or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them

therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is determined in a final
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.
10.4.    No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc. Neither the Administrative
Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be
responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any
statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document
or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including,
without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly
to each Lender; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV,
except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Administrative
Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of
Default; (e) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or
genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in
connection therewith; (f) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or
priority of any Lien in any collateral security; or (g) the financial condition
of the Borrower or any guarantor of any of the Obligations or of any of the
Borrower’s or any such guarantor’s respective Subsidiaries.
10.5.    Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall in
all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder
and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed

to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. The Lenders
hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to take
any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions
of this Agreement or any other Loan

73

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

Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required
Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or
refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless
it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata
against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of
taking or continuing to take any such action.
10.6.    Employment of Administrative Agents and Counsel. The Administrative
Agent may execute any of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder and under
any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact
and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities
received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any
such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning the
contractual arrangement between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and all
matters pertaining to the Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder and under any
other Loan Document.
10.7.    Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter,
telegram, facsimile, telex, electronic mail message, statement, paper or
document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or
sent by the proper Person or Persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the
opinion of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent, which counsel may be
employees of the Administrative Agent. For purposes of determining compliance
with the conditions specified in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, each Lender that has
signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted
or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be
consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the
applicable date specifying its objection thereto.
10.8.    Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders
agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent ratably in proportion

the exclusion of Defaulting Lenders therein) (i) for any amounts not reimbursed
by the Borrower for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement
by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred
by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan
Documents (including, without limitation, for any expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative
Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders) and (iii) for any
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way
relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered
in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including,
without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative
Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement
of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents,
provided that (i) no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the
extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a

74

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

court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent and (ii) any indemnification
required pursuant to Section 3.5(d) shall, notwithstanding the provisions of
this Section 10.8, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the
provisions thereof. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.8 shall
survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
10.9.    Notice of Event of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be
deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice
from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such
Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of
default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the
Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders; provided
that, except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative
Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the
failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
10.10.    Rights as a Lender. In the event the Administrative Agent is a Lender,
the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and
under any other Loan Document with respect to its Commitment and its Loans as
any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative
Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, at any time when the
Administrative Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates,
include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative
Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally
engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to
those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is
not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.
10.11.    Lender Credit Decision, Legal Representation.
(a)    Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender and based on the
financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender
also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Except for any notice, report, document
or other information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the
Administrative Agent or Arrangers hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent
nor the Arrangers shall have any duty or responsibility (either initially or on
a continuing basis) to provide any Lender with any notice, report, document,
credit information or other information concerning the affairs, financial
condition or business of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that may come
into

75

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

the possession of the Administrative Agent or any Arranger (whether or not in
their respective capacity as Administrative Agent or Arranger) or any of their
Affiliates.
(b)    Each Lender further acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to be
represented by legal counsel in connection with its execution of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, that it has made its own evaluation of all
applicable laws and regulations relating to the transactions contemplated
hereby, and that the counsel to the Administrative Agent represents only the
Administrative Agent and not the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and
the transactions contemplated hereby.
10.12.    Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at
any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, such
resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative
Agent or, if no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, forty-five
(45) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intention
to resign. The Administrative Agent may be removed at any time that it
constitutes a Defaulting Lender by written notice received by the Administrative
Agent from the Required Lenders, such removal to be effective on the date
specified by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the
Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrower (so
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with the Borrower’s
consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the Lenders, a
successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have
been so appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty (30) days after the
resigning Administrative Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then
the resigning Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and
the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the previous
sentence, the Administrative Agent may at any time without the consent of the
Borrower or any Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank
as a successor Administrative Agent hereunder. If the Administrative Agent has
resigned or been removed and no successor Administrative Agent has been
appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent
hereunder and the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations
to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the
Lenders. No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed
hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the
appointment. Any such successor Administrative Agent shall be a commercial bank
having capital and retained earnings of at least $100,000,000. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor
Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the resigning or removed Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the
resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the resigning or removed
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the
resignation or removal of an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this
Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent
in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting
as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the
event that there is a successor to the Administrative Agent by merger, or the
Administrative Agent assigns its duties and obligations to an Affiliate pursuant
to this Section 10.12, then the term “Prime Rate” as used in this Agreement
shall mean the prime rate, base rate or other analogous rate of the new
Administrative Agent.

76

(i) U.S. Bank, in its capacity as Administrative Agent and an Arranger, the fees

10.14.    Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrower and the Lenders agree that the
Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any
of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers,
agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement
shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other
protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under
Articles IX and X.
10.15.    Syndication Agent, Co-Documentation Agents, etc. Neither the
Syndication Agent nor any Co-Documentation Agent shall have any right, power,
obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than
those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of
such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any
Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to such
Lenders as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in Section 10.11.
10.16.    No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all
aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with
any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan
Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and
other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Lenders are arm’s-length
commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one
hand, and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own
legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed
appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and
accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby
and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Lenders is and has been
acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the
relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor,

Borrower and its Affiliates, and no Lender has any obligation to disclose any of
such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates.  To the fullest extent
permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may
have against each of the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of
agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction
contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE XI

77

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

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS
11.1.    Setoff. The Borrower hereby grants each Lender a security interest in
all deposits, credits and deposit accounts (including all account balances,
whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) of the
Borrower with such Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender (the “Deposits”). In
addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under
applicable law, if the Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any
Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Borrower authorizes each Lender to
offset and apply all such Deposits toward the payment of the Obligations owing
to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall then
be due and regardless of the existence or adequacy of any collateral, guaranty
or any other security, right or remedy available to such Lender or the Lenders;

of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the
Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions
of Section 2.22 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such
Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit
of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer, and the Lenders, and (y) the
Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement
describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender
as to which it exercised such right of setoff.
11.2.    Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has
payment made to it upon its Outstanding Credit Exposure (other than payments
received pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5) in a greater proportion than
that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to
purchase a portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure held by the
other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its Pro Rata
Share of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure. If any Lender, whether in
connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise,
receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts
which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to
take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such
collateral or other protection ratably in proportion to their respective Pro
Rata Shares of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure. In case any such
payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further
adjustments shall be made.
ARTICLE XII

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS
12.1.    Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lenders
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i)
the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under
the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender, (ii) any
assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3, and (iii)
any transfer by participation must be made in compliance with Section 12.2. Any
attempted assignment or transfer by any party not made in compliance with this
Section 12.1 shall be null and void, unless such attempted assignment or
transfer is treated as a participation in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this
Section 12.1 relates

78

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

only to absolute assignments and this Section 12.1 does not prohibit assignments
creating security interests, including, without limitation, (x) any pledge or
assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or (y) in the case of a Lender
which is a Fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights
under this Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations
to its trustee; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a
security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations
hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions
of Section 12.3. The Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any
Loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless
and until such Person complies with Section 12.3; provided, however, that the
Administrative Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow
instructions from the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note to
direct payments relating to such Loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee of
the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be
bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request,
authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or
giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether
or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and
binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.
12.2.    Participations.
(a)    Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or
more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any
Outstanding Credit Exposure owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender,
any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the
Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating
interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents
shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain
the owner of its Outstanding Credit Exposure and the holder of any Note issued
to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts
payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such
Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender
in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan
Documents.
(b)    Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve,
without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of the Loan Documents provided that each such Lender may agree in
its participation agreement with its Participant that such Lender will not vote
to approve any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Outstanding
Credit Exposure or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which
would require consent of all of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 8.3
or of any other Loan Document.
(c)    Benefit of Certain Provisions. The Borrower agrees that each Participant
shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 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

79

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

that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 with
respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The
Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by
exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1, agrees to share with
each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of
setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if each
Participant were a Lender. The Borrower further agrees that each Participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 9.6 and 9.10
to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to Section 12.3, provided that (i) a Participant shall not
be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1 or 3.2 than the
Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant 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 3.5 than the Lender who sold the participating interest to
such Participant would have received had it retained such interest for its own
account (A) 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 and (B), in
the case of any Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender,
such Participant agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5 to the same
extent as if it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation
required under Section 3.5(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).
Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as
an agent of the Borrower, 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 any Outstanding Credit Exposure, any Note, any
Commitment or any other obligations under the Loan Documents (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
Outstanding Credit Exposure, any Note, any Commitment or any other obligations
under the Loan Documents) to any Person except to the extent that such
disclosure is necessary to establish that such Outstanding Credit Exposure, any
Note, any Commitment or any other obligations under the Loan Documents 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, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent)
shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
12.3.    Assignments.
(a)    Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
Eligible Assignees (“Purchasers”) all or any part of its rights and obligations
under the Loan Documents. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of
Exhibit C or in such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent as may be agreed to by the parties thereto. Each such assignment with
respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund shall either be in an amount equal to the entire applicable
Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure of the assigning Lender or (unless
each of the Borrower and the

80

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

Administrative Agent otherwise consents) be in an aggregate amount not less than
$5,000,000. The amount of the assignment shall be based on the Commitment or
Outstanding Credit Exposure (if the Commitment has been terminated) subject to
the assignment, determined as of the date of such assignment or as of the “Trade
Date,” if the “Trade Date” is specified in the assignment.
(b)    Consents. The consent of the Borrower shall be required prior to an
assignment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender, an Affiliate of
a Lender or an Approved Fund, provided that the consent of the Borrower shall
not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided
further that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such
assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the
Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice
thereof. The consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required prior to an
assignment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender, an Affiliate of
a Lender or an Approved Fund. The consent of each of the LC Issuer and the Swing
Line Lender shall be required prior to an assignment of a Commitment becoming
effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender with a Commitment. Any consent
required under this Section 12.3(b) shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.
(c)    Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent of
an assignment, together with any consents required by Sections 12.3(a) and
12.3(b), and (ii) payment by the assigning Lender of a $3,500 fee to the
Administrative Agent for processing such assignment (unless such fee is waived
by the Administrative Agent), such assignment shall become effective on the
effective date specified in such assignment. The assignment shall contain a
representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration
used to make the purchase of the Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure
under the applicable assignment agreement constitutes “plan assets” as defined
under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the
Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the effective
date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party
to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of the
Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan
Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party thereto, and the
transferor Lender shall be released with respect to the Commitment and
Outstanding Credit Exposure assigned to such Purchaser without any further
consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent. In
the case of an assignment covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender
hereunder but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to,
those provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which survive
payment of the Obligations and termination of the applicable agreement. Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with this Section 12.3 shall be treated for purposes of
this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with Section 12.2. Upon the consummation of any
assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3(c), the transferor
Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall, if the transferor
Lender or the Purchaser desires that its Loans be evidenced by Notes, make
appropriate arrangements so that new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes
are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate,
replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal
amounts reflecting their respective Commitments, as adjusted pursuant to such
assignment.

81

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

(d)    Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an
agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States
of America, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing
to, each Lender, and participations of each Lender in Facility LCs, pursuant to
the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register
shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the
terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrower and each Lender at any reasonable time and from time
to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e)    Dissemination of Information. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to
disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an
interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any
prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession
concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including
without limitation any information contained in any Reports; provided that each
Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by Section 9.11 of this
Agreement.

For the purposes of this Schedule, the following terms have the following
meanings, subject to the final paragraph of this Schedule:
“Financials” means the annual or quarterly financial statements of the Borrower
delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(a) or (b).
“Level I Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter
of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, the Leverage Ratio is
less than or equal to 1.00 to 1.00.
“Level II Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal
quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, (i) the
Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status and (ii) the Leverage Ratio is
less than or equal to 1.75 to 1.00.
“Level III Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal
quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, (i) the
Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status or Level II Status and (ii) the
Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00.
“Level IV Status” exists at any date if the Borrower has not qualified for Level
I Status, Level II Status or Level III Status.
“Status” means either Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status or Level
IV Status.
The Applicable Margin and Applicable Fee Rate shall be determined in accordance
with the foregoing table based on the Borrower’s Status as reflected in the then
most recent Financials. Notwithstanding any term herein to the contrary, as of
the date hereof (and until the date of the first adjustment to the Applicable
Margin or Applicable Fee Rate as contemplated hereby), the Borrower shall be
deemed to be at Level III Status. Adjustments, if any, to the Applicable Margin
or Applicable Fee Rate shall be effective from and after the first day of the
first fiscal month immediately following the date on which the delivery of such
Financials is required until the first day of the first fiscal month immediately
following the next such date on which delivery of such Financials of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries is so required. If the Borrower fails to deliver
the Financials to the Administrative Agent at the time required pursuant to
Section 6.1, then the Applicable Margin and Applicable Fee Rate shall be the
highest Applicable Margin and Applicable Fee Rate set forth in the foregoing
table until five (5) days after such Financials are so delivered.
