apply to the payment of any obligations of the Company hereunder, whether or not then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Company then or thereafter with the Agent
or such Bank.

7.5Proration of Payments.If any Bank shall obtain any payment
or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise, but excluding any payment pursuant toSection 8.7or 14.9and payments of interest on any Affected Loan) on account of principal of or interest on any Loan (or on account of its participation in any Letter
of Credit) in excess of its pro rata share of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Banks on account of principal of and interest on the Loans (or such participation) then held by them, such
Bank shall purchase from the other Banks such participations in the Loans (or sub-participations in Letters of Credit) held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to
share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them;providedthat if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is
thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery.

7.6Taxes.All payments of principal of, and interest on, the
Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties,
withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, excluding franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by any Bank's net income or receipts (all
non-excluded items being called "Taxes"). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Company hereunder is required
in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Company will:



Moreover,
if any Taxes are directly asserted against the Agent or any Bank with respect to any payment received by the Agent or such Bank hereunder, the Agent or such Bank may pay such
Taxes and the Company will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalty, interest or expense) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of
such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had such Taxes not been asserted.

If
the Company fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Agent, for the account of the respective Banks, the required receipts or other
required documentary evidence, the Company shall indemnify the Banks for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Bank as a result of any such failure. Such
indemnity shall be payable upon demand by the Agent (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth

24

---

the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail). For purposes of thisSection 7.6, a distribution
hereunder by the Agent or any Bank to or for the account of any Bank shall be deemed a payment by the Company.

Each
Bank that (a) is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America and (b)(i) is a party hereto on the Effective Date or
(ii) becomes an assignee of an interest under this Agreement underSection 14.9.1after the Effective Date (unless such Bank was already a
Bank hereunder immediately prior to such assignment) shall execute and deliver to the Company and the Agent one or more (as the Company or the Agent may reasonably request) United States Internal
Revenue Service Forms 4224 or Forms 1001 or such other forms or documents, appropriately completed, as may be applicable to establish that such Bank is exempt from withholding or deduction of Taxes.
The Company shall not be required to pay additional amounts to any Bank pursuant to thisSection 7.6to the extent that the obligation to pay
such additional amounts would not have arisen but for the failure of such Bank to comply with this paragraph.

7.7Authorization.The Company hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Agent and the Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time and from time to time, pay all or any portion of any of the Company's obligations hereunder including, without limitation,
interest, Attorney Costs and other fees, costs and expenses of the Agent for which the Company is liable pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, by charging any bank account of the Company
maintained with Agent or any Bank or by advancing the amount thereof to the Company as a Revolving Loan and applying the proceeds of such Revolving Loan against such obligations; provided, however,
that the provisions of thisSection 7.7shall not affect the Company's obligation to pay when due all amounts payable by the Company under any of
the Loan Documents whether or not there are sufficient funds therefor in any such bank account of the Company with Agent or any Bank, or whether after making such Revolving Loan the Revolving
Outstandings will exceed the lesser of: (a) the Revolving Commitment Amount; or (b) the Borrowing Base and provided, further, that the Agent shall give two days prior notice before
charging any such account for the cost and expense of the Agent referred to above.

SECTION 8        INCREASED COSTS; SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR EURODOLLAR LOANS.

8.1Increased Costs.

8.2Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair.If
with respect to any Interest Period:



26

---



thenthe Agent shall promptly notify the other parties thereof and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (i) no affected Bank shall be
under any obligation to make or convert into Eurodollar Loans and (ii) on the last day of the current Interest Period for each Eurodollar Loan, such Loan shall, unless then repaid in full,
automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan.

8.3Changes in Law Rendering Eurodollar Loans Unlawful.If any
change in, or the adoption of any new, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation of any applicable law or regulation by any governmental or other regulatory body charged with the
administration thereof, should make it (or in the good faith judgment of any Bank cause a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for any Bank to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Loans,
then such Bank shall promptly notify each of the other parties hereto and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (a) such Bank shall have no obligation to make or convert into
Eurodollar Loans (but shall make Base Rate Loans concurrently with the making of or conversion into Eurodollar Loans by the Banks which are not so affected, in each case in an amount equal to the
amount of Eurodollar Loans which would be made or converted into by such Bank at such time in the absence of such circumstances) and (b) on the last day of the current Interest Period for each
Eurodollar Loan of such Bank (or, in any event, on such earlier date as may be required by the relevant law, regulation or interpretation), such Eurodollar Loan shall, unless then repaid in full,
automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan. Each Base Rate Loan made by a Bank which, but for the circumstances described in the foregoing sentence, would be a Eurodollar Loan (an
"Affected Loan") shall remain outstanding for the same period as the Group of Eurodollar Loans of which such Affected Loan would be a part absent such
circumstances.

8.4Funding Losses.The Company hereby agrees that upon demand
by any Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for the amount being claimed, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Agent), the Company will indemnify such
Bank against any net loss or expense which such Bank may sustain or incur (including any net loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired
by such Bank to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Loan), as reasonably determined by such Bank, as a result of (a) any payment, prepayment or conversion of any Eurodollar Loan of such Bank on a
date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan (including any conversion pursuant toSection 8.3) or (b) any failure of
the Company to borrow, convert or continue any Loan on a date specified therefor in a notice of borrowing, conversion or continuation pursuant to this Agreement. For this purpose, all notices to the
Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be irrevocable.

8.5Right of Banks to Fund through Other Offices.Each Bank may,
if it so elects, fulfill its commitment as to any Eurodollar Loan by causing a foreign branch or Affiliate of such Bank to make such Loan;providedthat
in such event for the purposes of this Agreement such Loan shall be deemed to have been made by such Bank and the obligation of the Company to repay such Loan shall nevertheless be
to such Bank and shall be deemed held by it, to the extent of such Loan, for the account of such branch or Affiliate.

8.6Discretion of Banks as to Manner of Funding.Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Bank shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however,
that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Bank had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Loan during each Interest Period for such Loan
through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

8.7Mitigation of Circumstances; Replacement of Banks.



27

---



8.8Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of
Provisions.Determinations and statements of any Bank pursuant toSection 8.1, 8.2,8.3or8.4shall be conclusive absent demonstrable
error. Banks may use
reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation underSections 8.1and 8.4, and the provisions of such Sections shall survive
repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, expiration or termination of the Letters of
Credit and termination of this Agreement.

shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or
conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the
Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document

against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in
refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Banks and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant

knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the
Agent for the account of the Banks, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Bank or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of
Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". The Agent will notify the Banks of its receipt of any such notice. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default
or Unmatured Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Banks in accordance withSection 12; providedthat unless and until the Agent has
received any such request, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from

13.6Credit Decision.Each Bank acknowledges that the Agent has
not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by the Agent to any Bank. Each Bank represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent and based on such documents and information as it
has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, and made its own decision to enter
into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Company hereunder. Each Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent and based on such documents and information
as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to
make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company. Except for
notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Banks by the Agent, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or
other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of the Company which may come into the possession of the Agent.

13.7Indemnification.Whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby are consummated, the Banks shall indemnify upon demand the Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Company and
without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), pro rata, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities;providedthat no Bank shall be
liable for any payment to any such Person of any portion of the Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each
Bank shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf
of the Company. The undertaking in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit, any foreclosure under, or
modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents, termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.

13.8Agent in Individual Capacity.LaSalle and its Affiliates
may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or
other business with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though LaSalle were not the Agent or the Issuing Bank hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Banks. The Banks
acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, LaSalle or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Company or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality
obligations in favor of the Company or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to their Loans (if any), LaSalle
and its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though LaSalle were not the Agent and the Issuing Bank, and the terms
"Bank" and "Banks" include LaSalle and its Affiliates, to the extent applicable, in their individual capacities.

13.9Successor Agent.The Agent may resign as Agent upon
30 days' notice to the Banks. If the Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Banks shall, with (so long as no Event of Default exists) the consent of the Company (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint from among the Banks a successor agent for the Banks. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the

46

---

effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Banks and the Company, a successor agent from among the Banks. Upon the acceptance of its appointment
as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring
Agent's appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 13andSections
14.6and14.13shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is
30 days following a retiring Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Banks shall perform all of the duties of the
Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Banks appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

13.10Collateral Matters.The Banks irrevocably authorize the
Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (a) to release any Lien granted to or held by the Agent under any Collateral Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in
full of all Loans and all other obligations of the Company hereunder and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit; (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as
part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder; or (iii) subject toSection 14.1, if approved, authorized or ratified
in writing by the Required Banks; or (b) to subordinate its interest in any collateral to any holder of a Lien on such collateral which is permitted by clause (d)(i)or(d)(iii)of Section 10.8(it being understood that the Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate from the Company in determining whether the Debt secured
by any such Lien is permitted bySection 10.7(b)). Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Banks will confirm in writing the Agent's authority
to release, or subordinate its interest in, particular types or items of collateral pursuant to thisSection 13.10.

SECTION 14        GENERAL.

14.1Waiver; Amendments.No delay on the part of the Agent or
any Bank in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or
further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the Notes shall
in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by Banks having an aggregate Pro Rata Share of not less than the aggregate Pro Rata Share expressly designated
herein with respect thereto or, in the absence of such designation as to any provision of this Agreement or the Notes, by the Required Banks, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall change the Pro Rata Share of any Bank without
the consent of such Bank. No amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall (a) increase the Revolving Commitment Amount, (b) extend the date for payment of any principal of or
interest on the Loans or any fees payable hereunder, (c) reduce the principal amount of
any Loan, the rate of interest thereon or any fees payable hereunder, (d) release all or any substantial part of the collateral granted under the Collateral Documents, (e) reduce the
aggregate Pro Rata Share required to effect an amendment, modification, waiver or consent, (f) affect the definition of "Borrowing Base" or any of its constituent parts in any manner which
increases the amount available to the Borrower, or (g) affectSection 12, without, in each case, the consent of all Banks. No provision of Section 13or other provision of this Agreement affecting the Agent in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the
consent of the Agent. No provision of this Agreement relating to the rights or duties of the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the
Issuing Bank. No Bank's Commitment shall be increased without such Bank's prior written consent.

other Bank harmless from any loss, cost or expense resulting from any such reliance.

liability or item of income or expense is required to be determined, or any consolidation or other accounting computation is required to be made, for the purpose of this Agreement, such determination

that the Company wishes to amend any covenant in Section 10to eliminate or to take into account the effect of any change in GAAP on the operation of such covenant (or if the Agent notifies the
Company that the Required Banks wish to amendSection 10for such purpose), then the Company's compliance with such covenant shall be determined
on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP became effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such covenant is amended in a manner satisfactory to the
Company and the Required Banks.
