ARTICLE II.         THE REVOLVING CREDIT AND CERTAIN TERMS OF GENERAL APPLICATION

 

2.1.         ESTABLISHMENT OF REVOLVING CREDIT.

 

(a)           The Revolving Credit Lenders hereby establish a revolving line of
credit in the Borrowers’ favor pursuant to which each Revolving Credit Lender,
subject to, and in accordance

 

32

 

with, this Agreement, acting
through the Agent, shall make loans and advances and otherwise provide
financial accommodations to and for the account of the Borrowers as provided
herein.

 

(b)           Loans, advances, and financial accommodations
under the Revolving Credit shall be made with reference to the Borrowing Base
and shall be subject to Availability. The Borrowing Base and Availability shall
be determined by the Agent by reference to Borrowing Base Certificates
furnished as provided in Section 6.4, below, and shall be subject to the
following:

 

(i)            Such determination shall take into account
such Reserves as the Agent may reasonably determine as being applicable
thereto.

 

(ii)           The Cost of Eligible Inventory will be determined in a manner
consistent with current tracking practices, based on the Borrower’s stock
ledger inventory.

 

(c)           The commitment of each Revolving Credit
Lender to provide such loans, advances, and financial accommodations is subject
to Section 2.22.

 

(d)           The proceeds of borrowings under the
Revolving Credit shall be used to refinance existing Indebtedness and for
working capital purposes, including, without limitation, inventory purchases. No
proceeds of a borrowing under the Revolving Credit may be used, nor shall any
be requested, with a view towards the accumulation of any general fund or
funded reserve of the Borrowers other than in the ordinary course of the
Borrowers’ businesses and consistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

2.2.         ADVANCES
IN EXCESS OF BORROWING BASE (OVERADVANCES).

 

(a)           No Revolving Credit Lender has any obligation
to make any loan or advance, or otherwise to provide any credit to or for the
benefit of the Borrowers where the result of such loan, advance, or credit is
an OverAdvance.

 

(b)           The Revolving Credit Lenders’ obligations,
among themselves, are subject to Section 2.25(a) (which relates to each
Revolving Credit Lender’s making amounts available to the Agent) and to Section
15.3(a) (which relates to Protective OverAdvances).

 

(c)           The Revolving Credit Lenders’ providing of an
OverAdvance on any one occasion does not affect the obligations of the
Borrowers hereunder (including the Borrowers’ obligation to immediately repay
any amount which otherwise constitutes an OverAdvance) nor obligate the
Revolving Credit Lenders to do so on any other occasion.

 

2.3.         RISKS OF
VALUE OF COLLATERAL. The
Agent’s reference to a given asset in connection with the making of loans,
credits, and advances and the providing of financial accommodations under the
Revolving Credit or the Term Loan and/or the monitoring of compliance with the
provisions hereof shall not be deemed a determination by the Agent or any
Revolving Credit Lender or any Term Loan Lender relative to the actual value of
the asset in question. All risks concerning the value of the Collateral are and
remain upon the Borrowers. All Collateral secures the prompt, punctual, and
faithful performance of the Liabilities whether

 

33

 

or not relied upon by the
Agent in connection with the making of loans, credits, and advances and the
providing of financial accommodations under the Revolving Credit and the Term
Loan.

 

2.4.         COMMITMENT
TO MAKE REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS AND SUPPORT LETTERS OF CREDIT. Subject to the provisions of this
Agreement, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall make a loan or advance under the
Revolving Credit and the Agent shall issue an L/C for the account of, or shall
have an L/C issued for the account of, the Borrowers, in each instance if duly
and timely requested by the Borrowers as provided herein provided that:

 

(i)            No OverAdvance is then outstanding and none
will result therefrom.

 

(ii)           The Revolving Credit has not been suspended (as to which, see Section 2.5(g)).

 

2.5.         REVOLVING
CREDIT LOAN REQUESTS.

 

(a)           Requests for loans and advances under the
Revolving Credit or for the continuance or conversion of an interest rate
applicable to a Revolving Credit Loan may be requested by the Lead Borrower in
the form attached as EXHIBIT H
or in such other manner as may from time to time be acceptable to the Agent
(each a “Loan Request”).

 

(b)           Subject to the provisions of this Agreement,
the Lead Borrower may request a Revolving Credit Loan and elect an interest
rate and Interest Period to be applicable to that Revolving Credit Loan by
giving notice to the Agent by no later than the following:

 

(i)            If such Revolving Credit Loan is to be or is
to be converted to a Base Margin Loan: By 1:00PM on the Business Day on which
the subject Revolving Credit Loan is to be made or is to be so converted. Base
Margin Loans requested by the Lead Borrower, other than those resulting from
the conversion of a LIBOR Loan, shall not be less than $10,000.

 

(ii)           If such Revolving Credit Loan is to be, or is to be continued as, or
converted to, a LIBOR Loan: By 10:30AM Two (2) LIBOR Business Days before the
commencement of any new Interest Period or the end of the then applicable
Interest Period. LIBOR Loans and conversions to LIBOR Loans shall each be not
less than $1,000,000 and in increments of $100,000 in excess of such minimum.

 

(iii)          Any LIBOR Loan which matures while the Borrowers are In Default shall
be converted, at the option of the Agent, to a Base Margin Loan notwithstanding
any notice from the Lead Borrower that such Loan is to be continued as a LIBOR
Loan.

 

(c)           Any request for a Revolving Credit Loan or
for the continuance or conversion of an interest rate applicable to a Revolving
Credit Loan which is made after the applicable deadline therefor, as set forth
above, shall be deemed to have been made at the opening of business on the then
next Business Day or LIBOR Business Day, as applicable.

 

34

 

(d)           The Lead Borrower may request that the Agent
cause the issuance by the Issuer of L/Cs for the account of any Borrower as
provided in Section 2.18.

 

(e)           The Agent may rely on any request for a loan
or advance, or other financial accommodation under the Revolving Credit which
the Agent, in good faith, believes to have been made by a Person duly
authorized to act on behalf of the Lead Borrower and may decline to make any
such requested loan or advance, or issuance, or to provide any such financial
accommodation pending the Agent’s being furnished with such documentation
concerning that Person’s authority to act as may be satisfactory to the Agent.

 

(f)            A request by the Lead Borrower for a loan or
advance, or other financial accommodation under the Revolving Credit shall be
irrevocable and shall constitute certification by the Lead Borrower that as of
the date of such request, each of the following is true and correct:

 

(i)            There has been no material adverse change in
the Borrowers’ financial condition from the most recent financial information
furnished Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(ii)           To the extent necessary, all or a portion of any loan or advance so
requested will be set aside by the Borrowers to cover the Borrowers’
obligations for sales tax on account of sales since the then most recent
borrowing pursuant to the Revolving Credit.

 

(iii)          Each representation which is made herein or in any of the Loan
Documents was true in all material respects as of the date as of which they
were made and each of the representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement are true in all material respects, with the same effect as if made at
and as of the date of such request (except to the extent of changes resulting
from transactions contemplated or permitted by this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and changes occurring in the ordinary course of business that
singly or in the aggregate are not materially adverse, and to the extent that
such representations and warranties relate expressly to an earlier date).

 

(iv)          Unless accompanied by a written Certificate of the Lead Borrower’s
President or its Chief Financial Officer describing (in reasonable detail) the
facts and circumstances thereof and the steps (if any) being taken to remedy
such condition, that the Borrowers are not In Default.

 

(g)           If, at any time or from time to time, the
Borrowers are In Default:

 

(i)            The Agent may suspend the Revolving Credit
immediately, in which event, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be
obligated, during such suspension, to make any loan or advance, or to provide
any financial accommodation hereunder or to seek the issuance of any L/C.

 

(ii)           The Agent may suspend the right of the Lead Borrower to request any
LIBOR Loan or to convert any Base Margin Loan to a LIBOR Loan.

 

35

 

2.6.         MAKING OF
REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS.

shall be made by the transfer of the proceeds of such loan or advance to the

(b)           A loan or advance shall be deemed to have
been made under the Revolving Credit (and the Borrowers shall be indebted to
the Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders for the amount thereof immediately)
at the following:

 

(i)            The Agent’s initiation of the transfer of the
proceeds of such loan or advance in accordance with the Lead Borrower’s
instructions (if such loan or advance is of funds requested by the Lead
Borrower).

 

(ii)           The charging of the amount of such loan to the Loan Account (in all
other circumstances).

 

(c)           Except where there has been gross negligence
or willful misconduct on the part of the Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender,
there shall not be any recourse to or liability of the Agent or any Revolving
Credit Lender, on account of:

 

(i)            Any delay in the making of any loan or
advance requested under the Revolving Credit.

 

(ii)           Any delay by any bank or other depository institution in treating the
proceeds of any such loan or advance as collected funds.

 

(iii)          Any delay in the receipt, and/or any loss, of funds which constitute a
loan or advance under the Revolving Credit, the wire transfer of which was
properly initiated by the Agent in accordance with wire instructions provided
to the Agent by the Lead Borrower.

 

2.7.         SWINGLINE
LOANS.

 

(a)           Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the SwingLine Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the

the aggregate, the “SwingLine Loans”)
in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement for the making of

(b)           The aggregate unpaid principal balance of the
SwingLine Loans shall not at any one time be in excess of the SwingLine Loan
Ceiling.

SwingLine Loans shall bear interest at the rate applicable to Base Margin Loans
and shall be repayable as a loan under the Revolving Credit.

(d)           The Borrowers’ obligation to repay SwingLine
Loans shall be evidenced by a Note (the “SwingLine Note”),
in the form of EXHIBIT A, annexed hereto,
executed by the Borrowers, and payable to the SwingLine Lender. Neither the
original nor a copy of that Note shall be required, however,
to establish or prove any Liability. The Borrowers shall execute a replacement
of any SwingLine Note which has been lost, mutilated, or destroyed thereof and
deliver such replacement to the SwingLine Lender.

 

(e)           For all purposes of this Agreement, the
SwingLine Loans and the Borrowers’ obligations to the SwingLine Lender
constitute Revolving Credit Loans and are secured as “Liabilities”.

 

(f)            SwingLine Loans may be subject to periodic
settlement with the Revolving Credit Lenders as provided in this Agreement.

 

2.8.         THE LOAN
ACCOUNT.

shall be opened on the books of the Agent in which a record shall be kept of
all loans, advances and payments made under the Revolving Credit and the Term
Loan.

 

(b)           The Agent shall also keep a record (either in
the Loan Account or elsewhere, as the Agent may from time to time elect) of all
interest, fees, service charges, costs, expenses, and other debits owed to the
Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender, as applicable, on
account of the Liabilities and of all credits against such amounts so owed.

 

(c)           All credits against the Liabilities shall be
conditional upon final payment to the Agent for the account of each Revolving
Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender, as applicable, of the items giving rise to such
credits. The amount of any item credited against the Liabilities which is
charged back against the Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender or any Term Loan
Lender, as applicable, for any reason or is not so paid shall be a Liability
and shall be added to the Loan Account, whether or not the item so charged back
or not so paid is returned.

 

(d)           Except as otherwise provided herein, all
fees, service charges, costs, and expenses for which the Borrowers are
obligated hereunder are payable on demand. In the determination of
Availability, the Agent may deem fees, service charges, accrued interest, and
other payments which will be due and payable between the date of such
determination and the first day of the then next succeeding month as having
been advanced under the Revolving Credit whether or not such amounts are then
due and payable.

 

(e)           The Agent, without the request of the Lead
Borrower, may advance under the Revolving Credit any interest, fee, service
charge, or other payment to which the Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender or
any Term Loan Lender, as applicable, is entitled from the Borrowers pursuant
hereto and may charge the same to the Loan Account notwithstanding that an
OverAdvance may result thereby. Such action on the part of the Agent shall not
constitute a waiver of the Agent’s rights and the Borrowers’ obligations under
Section 2.10(b). Any amount which is added to the principal balance of the Loan
Account as provided in this Section 2.8(e) shall bear interest at the interest
rate then and thereafter applicable to Base Margin Loans.

 

37

 

(f)            Any statement rendered by the Agent or any
Revolving Credit Lender or any Term Loan Lender, as applicable, to the
Borrowers concerning the Liabilities shall be considered correct and accepted
by the Borrowers and shall be conclusively binding upon the Borrowers unless
the Lead Borrower provides the Agent with written objection thereto within
Thirty (30) days from the mailing of such statement, which written objection
shall indicate, with particularity, the reason for such objection. The Loan
Account and the Agent’s books and records concerning the loan arrangement
contemplated herein and the Liabilities shall be prima facie evidence and proof
of the items described therein.

 

2.9.         THE
REVOLVING CREDIT NOTES. The
Borrowers’ obligation to repay loans and advances under the Revolving Credit,
with interest as provided herein, shall be evidenced by Notes (each, a “Revolving Credit Note”) in the form of EXHIBIT B, annexed hereto, executed by
the Borrowers, one payable to each Revolving Credit Lender. Neither the
original nor a copy of any Revolving Credit Note shall be required, however, to establish or prove any
Liability. In the event that any Revolving Credit Note is ever lost, mutilated,
or destroyed, the Borrowers shall execute a replacement thereof and deliver
such replacement to the Agent.

 

2.10.       PAYMENT
OF THE LOAN ACCOUNT.

 

(a)           The Borrowers may
repay all or any portion of the principal balance of the Loan Account from time
to time until the Termination Date.

 

(b)           The Borrowers, without notice or demand from
the Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender, shall pay the
Agent that amount, from time to time, which is necessary so that there is no
OverAdvance outstanding.

 

(c)           The Borrowers shall
repay the then entire unpaid balance of the Loan Account and all other
Liabilities on the Termination Date.

 

(d)           The Agent shall endeavor to cause the
application of payments (if any), pursuant to Sections 2.10(a) and 2.10(b)
against LIBOR Loans then outstanding in such manner as results in the least
cost to the Borrowers, but shall not have any affirmative obligation to do so
nor liability on account of the Agent’s failure to have done so. In no event
shall action or inaction taken by the Agent excuse the Borrowers from any
indemnification obligation under Section 2.10(e).

 

(e)           The Borrowers shall indemnify the Agent, each
Revolving Credit Lender and each Term Loan Lender and hold the Agent, each
Revolving Credit Lender and each Term Loan Lender harmless from and against any
loss, cost or expense (including loss of anticipated profits and amounts
payable by the Agent or such Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender on
account of “breakage fees” (so-called)) which the Agent or such Revolving
Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender may sustain or incur (including, without
limitation, by virtue of acceleration after the occurrence of any Event of
Default) as a consequence of the following:

 

(i)            Default by the Borrowers in payment of the
principal amount of or any interest on any LIBOR Loan as and when due and
payable, including any such loss or

 

38

 

expense
arising from interest or fees payable by such Revolving Credit Lender or Term
Loan Lender in order to maintain its LIBOR Loans.

 

(ii)           Default by the Borrowers in making a borrowing or conversion after the
Lead Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a request for a Revolving
Credit Loan or a request to convert a Loan from one applicable interest rate to
another.

 

(iii)          The making of any payment on a LIBOR Loan or the making of any
conversion of any such Loan to a Base Margin Loan on a day that is not the last
day of the applicable Interest Period with respect thereto.

 

(f)            All payments to be made by the Borrowers
shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense,
recoupment, or setoff.

 

2.11.       INTEREST

(a)           Each Revolving Credit Loan shall bear

or is to be converted to, a LIBOR Loan.

 

(b)           Each Revolving Credit Loan which consists of
a LIBOR Loan shall bear interest at the applicable LIBOR Rate.

 

(c)           Subject to, and in accordance with, the
provisions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may cause all or a part of the

(d)           The Borrowers shall not select, renew, or
convert any interest rate for a Revolving Credit Loan such that, in addition to

applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans at any one time.

 

(e)           The Borrowers shall pay accrued and unpaid
interest on each Revolving Credit Loan in arrears as follows:

that Revolving Credit Loan.

as may be determined by the Agent.

Agent’s rights on account thereof), all Revolving Credit Loans shall bear
interest, at the option of the Agent or at the instruction of the SuperMajority
Lenders at a rate which is the aggregate of the rate applicable to Base Margin
Loans plus Three Percent (3%) per annum.

 

39

the commitment to make loans and advances to the Borrowers under the Revolving
Credit and Term Loan, as applicable, and to maintain sufficient funds available

Agent for the accounts of the Lenders a fee (the “Upfront Fee”)  as

relevant period with respect to the payment being made on the Termination Date)

principal balance of the Loan Account (other than the outstanding principal

in the event that the Termination Date occurs, on or prior to the second
anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the
Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, a fee (the “Revolving Credit Early Termination Fee”)
determined and payable as follows:

 

(i)            0.75% of the highest Maximum Revolving Credit
Ceiling if the Termination Date occurs on or before January 1, 2008.

 

(ii)           0.50% of the highest Maximum Revolving Credit
Ceiling if the Termination Date occurs after January 1, 2008, but on or before
January 1, 2009.

 

(b)           No Revolving Credit Early Termination Fee
shall be payable (i) after January 1, 2009 or (ii) if the Termination Date
occurs as a result of funds borrowed from Bank of America or any of its
Affiliates.

 

(c)           The Revolving Credit Early Termination Fee
shall be allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata based upon their
Revolving Credit Dollar Commitment.

 

(d)           The Borrowers shall have no right to reduce
the Maximum Revolving Credit Ceiling, provided, however,
that in connection with the sale or issuance of any of its equity interests to
any Person, in terms satisfactory to the Agent, the Borrowers shall, with at
least three (3) Business Days prior written notice to the Agent, have the
right to reduce the Maximum Revolving Credit Ceiling by $5,000,000 or an
integral multiple thereof, provided, however,
that

 

40

 

no
such reduction in the Maximum Revolving Credit Ceiling shall be greater than
$75,000,000 in the aggregate and that no reduction in the Maximum Revolving
Credit Ceiling may be reinstated.

 

2.16.       CONCERNING
FEES.

 

(a)           In addition to any other right to which the
Agent is then entitled on account thereof, the Agent may assess an additional
fee payable by the Borrowers on account of the accommodation by the Agent, from
time to time, of the Borrowers’ request that the Agent depart or dispense with
one or more of the administrative provisions of this Agreement and/or the
Borrowers’ failure to comply with any of such provisions.

 

(i)            By way of non-exclusive example, the Agent
may assess a fee on account of any of the following:

 

(A)       The Borrowers’ failure to pay that amount which is necessary so that no
OverAdvance is outstanding (as required under Section 2.10(b) hereof).

 

(B)       The providing of a loan or advance under the Revolving Credit or
charging of the Loan Account such that an OverAdvance is made.

 

(C)       The foreshortening of any of the time frames with respect to the making
of Revolving Credit Loans as set forth in Section 2.5.

 

(D)       The Borrowers’ failure to provide a financial statement or report
within the applicable time frame provided for such report under Article 6.

 

(ii)           The inclusion of the foregoing right on the part of the Agent to assess
a fee does not constitute an obligation, on the part of the Agent, to waive any
provision of this Agreement under any circumstances. The assessment of any such
fee in any particular circumstance shall not constitute the Agent’s waiver of
any breach of this Agreement on account of which such fee was assessed nor a
course of action on which the Borrowers may rely.

 

(b)           The Borrowers shall not be entitled to any
credit, rebate or repayment of any fee earned by the Agent or any Revolving
Credit Lender or any Term Loan Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any Loan
Document notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or suspension or
termination of the Agent’s and any Revolving Credit Lender’s or Term Loan
Lender’s respective obligation to make loans and advances hereunder.

 

41

 

2.17.       AGENT’S
AND LENDERS’ DISCRETION.

 

(a)           Each reference in the Loan Documents to the
exercise of discretion or the like by the Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or
any Term Loan Lender shall be to such Person’s reasonable exercise of its
judgment, in good faith, based upon such Person’s consideration of any such
factors as the Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or any Term Loan Lender
believes, taking into account information of which that Person then has actual
knowledge:

 

(i)            Will or reasonably would be expected to
affect the value of the Collateral, the enforceability of the Agent’s
Collateral Interests therein, or the amount which the Agent would likely
realize therefrom (taking into account delays which may possibly be encountered
in the Agent’s realizing upon the Collateral and likely Costs of Collection).

 

(ii)           That any report or financial information delivered to the Agent or any
Revolving Credit Lender or any Term Loan Lender by or on behalf of the
Borrowers is incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading in any material manner or
was not prepared in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.

 

(iii)          An increase in the likelihood that the Borrowers will become the
subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

 

(iv)          That the Borrowers are In Default.

 

(b)           In the exercise of such judgment, the Agent
and Revolving Credit Lender and Term Loan Lender may also take into account any
of the following factors:

 

(i)            Those included in, or tested by, the
definitions of “Eligible Inventory” and “Cost”.

 

(ii)           Changes in the current financial and business climate of the industry
in which any Borrower competes (having regard for such Borrower’s position in
that industry).

 

(iii)          Changes in general macroeconomic conditions which have a material
effect on any Borrower’s cost structure.

 

(iv)          Material changes in or to the mix of any Borrowers’ Inventory.

 

(v)           Changes in seasonality with respect to any Borrower’s Inventory and
patterns of retail sales.

 

(vi)          Changes in such other factors as the Agent and each Revolving Credit
Lender and Term Loan Lender reasonably determines as having a material bearing
on credit risks associated with the providing of loans and financial
accommodations to the Borrowers.

 

42

 

(c)           The burden of establishing the failure of the
Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender or any Term Loan Lender to have acted in a
reasonable manner in such Person’s exercise of such discretion shall be upon
the Borrowers.

 

2.18.       PROCEDURES
FOR ISSUANCE OF L/CS.

 

(a)           Subject to the terms and conditions hereof
and the execution and delivery by Lead Borrower of a letter of credit
application on the Agent’s customary form (a “Letter of
Credit Application”), the Agent on behalf of the Revolving Credit
Lenders and in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Credit Lenders set
forth in this Section 2 and upon the representations and warranties of the
Borrowers contained herein, agrees, in its individual capacity, to issue,
extend, and renew for the account of a Borrower one or more L/Cs, in such form
as may be requested from time to time by the Lead Borrower and agreed to by the
Agent. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the Agent not
later than 11:00AM, at least two (2) Business Days, or such later date and
time as the Agent may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion,
prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be,
of any L/C. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of an L/C, such
Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to
the Agent: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested L/C (which shall be
a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the
name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented
by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any
certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing
thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the Agent may require. In the case of
a request for an amendment of any outstanding L/C, such Letter of Credit
Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Agent: (A) the
L/C to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a
Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other
matters as the Agent may require. Additionally, the Lead Borrower shall furnish
to the Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested
L/C issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the Agent may require.

 

Unless the
Agent has received written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender or the  Lead Borrower, at least one (1) Business Day
prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable L/C,
that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article 4  shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Agent shall, on the requested date, issue an L/C for the
account of the applicable Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as
the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Agent’s usual and
customary business practices.

 

Promptly after
its delivery of any L/C or any amendment to an L/C to an advising bank with
respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Agent will also deliver to the
Lead Borrower a true and complete copy of such L/C or amendment.

 

43

 

(b)           The Agent will cause the issuance of any L/C
so requested by the Lead Borrower, provided that,
at the time that the request is made, the Revolving Credit has not been
suspended as provided in Section 2.5(g) and if so issued:

 

(i)            The aggregate Stated Amount of all L/Cs then
outstanding, does not exceed Sixty Million Dollars ($60,000,000).

 

(ii)           The expiry of the L/C is not later than the earlier of Thirty (30) days
prior to the Maturity Date or the following:

 

(A)       Standby: One (1) year from initial issuance.

 

(B)       Documentary: Two Hundred Seventy (270) days from issuance.

 

(iii)          If the expiry of an L/C is later than the Maturity Date with respect to
the Revolving Credit, the Agent may require such L/C to be 105% cash
collateralized at its issuance.

 

(iv)          An OverAdvance will not result from the issuance of the subject L/C.

 

(c)           Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount
of an L/C at any time shall be deemed to be the Stated Amount of such L/C in
effect at such time; provided, however,
that with respect to any L/C that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer
Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increase in the stated
amount thereof, the amount of such L/C shall be deemed to be the maximum Stated
Amount of such L/C after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not
such maximum Stated Amount is in effect at such time.

 

(d)           If the Lead Borrower so requests in any
applicable Letter of Credit Application, the Agent may, in its sole and
absolute discretion, agree to issue an L/C that has automatic extension
provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of
Credit”); provided that
any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Agent to prevent any
such extension at least once in each 12-month period (commencing with the date
of issuance of such L/C) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not
later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”)
in each such 12-month period to be agreed upon at the time such L/C is issued. Unless
otherwise directed by the Agent, the Lead Borrower shall not be required to
make a specific request for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter
of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have
authorized (but may not require) the Agent to permit the extension of such L/C
at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration; provided, however, that the Agent shall not permit any such
extension if (A) it has determined that it would not be permitted, or would
have no obligation, at such time to issue such L/C in its revised form (as
extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Subsection
2.18(f) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone
or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the
Non-Extension Notice Date (1) that the Majority Lenders have elected not to
permit such extension or (2) from any Revolving Credit Lender or the Lead
Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article 4
is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Agent not to permit
such extension.

 

44

 

(e)           Except where there has been gross negligence
or willful misconduct on the part of the Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender,
there shall not be any recourse to, nor liability of, the Agent or any
Revolving Credit Lender on account of

 

(i)            Any delay by an Issuer to issue an L/C;

 

(ii)           Any action or inaction of an Issuer on account of or in respect to, any
L/C.

 

(f)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 2, the Agent shall not be under any obligation to
cause the Issuer to issue any L/C if:

 

(i)            any order, judgment or decree of any
Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or
restrain the Agent from issuing such L/C, or any laws applicable to the Agent
or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Agent shall prohibit, or
request that the Agent refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit
generally or such L/C in particular or shall impose upon the Agent with respect
to such L/C any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the
Agent is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Restatement
Effective Date, or shall impose upon the Agent any unreimbursed loss, cost or
expense that was not applicable on the Restatement Effective Date and that the
Agent in good faith deems material to it;

 

(ii)           the issuance of such L/C would violate one or more policies of the
Agent;

 

(iii)          except as otherwise agreed by the Agent, such L/C is to be denominated
in a currency other than United States Dollars;

 

(iv)          a default of any Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations to fund under
this Section 2 exists or any Revolving Credit Lender is at such time a
Delinquent Revolving Credit Lender hereunder, unless the Agent has entered into
satisfactory arrangements with the Borrowers or such Revolving Credit Lender to
eliminate the Agent’s risk with respect to such Revolving Credit Lender;

 

(v)           the Agent shall not amend any L/C if the Agent would not be permitted
at such time to issue such L/C in its amended form under the terms hereof; or

 

(vi)          the Agent shall be under no obligation to amend any L/C if the Agent
would have no obligation at such time to issue such L/C in its amended form
under the terms hereof, or the beneficiary of such L/C does not accept the
proposed amendment to the L/C.

 

45

 

2.19.       FEES FOR
L/CS.

 

(a)           The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the
benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders a fee, on account of L/Cs, the issuance
of which had been procured by the Agent, quarterly in arrears, and on the
Termination Date and on the End Date, equal to:

 

(i)            The LIBOR Applicable Margin on account of
standby letters of credit.

 

(ii)           The LIBOR Applicable Margin minus 50 basis
points on account of documentary letters of credit.

 

(iii)          Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, such fee shall be increased by Three Percent (3%) per annum.

 

(b)           In addition to the fee to be paid as provided
in Subsection 2.19(a), above, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent (or to the
Issuer, if so requested by Agent), on demand, all issuance, processing,
negotiation, amendment, and administrative fees and other amounts charged by
the Issuer on account of, or in respect to, any L/C.

 

(c)           If any change in Applicable Law shall either:

 

(i)            impose, modify or deem applicable any
reserve, special deposit or similar requirements against letters of credit
heretofore or hereafter issued by any Issuer or with respect to which any
Revolving Credit Lender or any Issuer has an obligation to lend to fund
drawings under any L/C; or

 

(ii)           impose on any Issuer any other condition or requirements relating to
any such letters of credit;

 

and the result
of any event referred to in Section 2.19(c)(i) or 2.19(c)(ii), above, shall be
to increase the cost to any Revolving Credit Lender or to any Issuer of issuing
or maintaining any L/C (which increase in cost shall be the result of such
Issuer’s reasonable allocation among that Revolving Credit Lender’s or Issuer’s
letter of credit customers of the aggregate of such cost increases resulting
from such events), then, upon demand by the Agent and delivery by the Agent to
the Borrowers of a certificate of an officer of the subject Revolving Credit
Lender or the subject Issuer describing such change in law, executive order,
regulation, directive, or interpretation thereof, its effect on such Revolving
Credit Lender or such Issuer, and the basis for determining such increased costs
and their allocation, the Borrowers shall immediately pay to the Agent, from
time to time as specified by the Agent, such amounts as shall be sufficient to
compensate the subject Revolving Credit Lender or the subject Issuer for such
increased cost. Absent manifest error, any Revolving Credit Lender’s or any
Issuer’s determination of costs incurred under Section 2.19(c)(i) or
2.19(c)(ii), above, and the allocation, if any, of such costs among the
Borrowers and other letter of credit customers of such Revolving Credit Lender
or such Issuer, if done in good faith and made on an equitable basis and in
accordance with such officer’s certificate, shall be conclusive and binding on
the Borrowers.

 

46

 

2.20.       CONCERNING
L/CS.

 

(a)           None of the Issuer, the Issuer’s
correspondents, any Revolving Credit Lender, the Agent, or any advising,
negotiating, or paying bank with respect to any L/C shall be responsible in any
way for:

 

(i)            The performance by any beneficiary under any
L/C of that beneficiary’s obligations to the Borrowers.

 

(ii)           The form, sufficiency, correctness, genuineness, authority of any
person signing; falsification; or the legal effect of; any documents called for
under any L/C if (with respect to the foregoing) such documents on their face
appear to be in order.

 

(b)           The Issuer may honor, as complying with the
terms of any L/C and of any drawing thereunder, any drafts or other documents
otherwise in order, but signed or issued by an administrator, executor, conservator,
trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of
creditors, liquidator, receiver, or other legal representative of the party
authorized under such L/C to draw or issue such drafts or other documents.

 

(c)           Unless otherwise agreed to, in the particular
instance, the Borrowers hereby authorize any Issuer to:

 

(i)            Select an advising bank, if any.

 

(ii)           Select a paying bank, if any.

 

(iii)          Select a negotiating bank.

 

(d)           All directions, correspondence, and funds
transfers relating to any L/C are at the risk of the Borrowers. The Issuer
shall have discharged the Issuer’s obligations under any L/C which, or the
drawing under which, includes payment instructions, by the initiation of the
method of payment called for in, and in accordance with, such instructions (or
by any other commercially reasonable and comparable method). None of the Agent,
any Revolving Credit Lender, or the Issuer shall have any responsibility for
any inaccuracy, interruption, error, or delay in transmission or delivery by
post, telegraph or cable, or for any inaccuracy of translation.

 

(e)           The Agent’s, each Revolving Credit Lender’s,
each Term Loan Lender’s and the Issuer’s rights, powers, privileges and
immunities specified in or arising under this Agreement are in addition to any
heretofore or at any time hereafter otherwise created or arising, whether by
statute or rule of law or contract.

 

(f)            Except to the extent otherwise expressly
provided hereunder or agreed to in writing by the Issuer and the Borrowers, (i)
documentary L/Cs will be governed by the rules of the Uniform Customs and
Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the
International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each
commercial L/C, and (ii) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby L/C.

 

47

 

(g)           The obligations of the Borrowers under this
Agreement with respect to L/Cs are absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable and
shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all
circumstances, whatsoever including, without limitation, the following:

 

(i)            Any lack of validity or enforceability or
restriction, restraint, or stay in the enforcement of this Agreement, any L/C,
or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto.

 

(ii)           The Borrowers’ consent to any amendment or waiver of, or consent to the
departure from, any L/C.

 

(iii)          The existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense, or other
right which the Borrowers or any Affiliate may have at any time against the
beneficiary or any transferee of such L/C (or any Person for whom any such
beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuer or any other
Person, whether in connection with this Agreement the transactions contemplated
hereby or by such L/C or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any
unrelated transaction.

 

(iv)          Any good faith honoring of a drawing under any L/C, which drawing
possibly could have been dishonored based upon a strict construction of the
terms of the L/C.

 

(v)           Any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such
L/C proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, or insufficient in any respect
or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss
or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to
make a drawing under such L/C.

 

(vi)          Any payment by the Issuer under such L/C against presentation of a
draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such L/C;
or any payment made by the Issuer under such L/C to any Person purporting to be
a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of
creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any
beneficiary or any transferee of such L/C, including any arising in connection
with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

 

(vii)         Any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar
to any of the foregoing, including any circumstance that might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrowers or any
Affiliate.

 

(h)           The Lead Borrower shall promptly examine a
copy of each L/C and each amendment thereto that is delivered to the Lead
Borrower and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Lead Borrower’s
instructions or other irregularity, the Lead Borrower shall immediately notify
the Issuer. The Borrowers shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such
claim against the Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as
aforesaid.

 

(i)            Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any L/C
of any notice of a drawing under such L/C, the Issuer shall notify the Lead
Borrower and the Agent thereof. Not later than

 

48

 

11:00AM
on the date of any payment by the Issuer under a L/C, the Borrowers shall
reimburse the Issuer through the Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such
drawing. If the Borrowers fail to so reimburse the Issuer by such time, the
Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the payment date
and of the amount of the Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation. In such event, the
Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Loan in all
respects bearing interest at the Base Margin Rate with a Drawdown Date as of
the date on which the Agent paid the draft presented for honor or otherwise
made such payment, in an amount equal to the amount of, such draft or other
payment, and the notice from the Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be
deemed to be a notice of a Loan Request made by the Agent (without regard to
the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2 for the principal amount of
Base Margin Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the
Maximum Revolving Credit Dollar Commitment and the conditions set forth in
Article 4).

 

(j)            No later than 1:00PM (Boston time) on the
Business Day next following the receipt of such notice, each Revolving Credit
Lender shall make available to the Agent, at the Agent’s Office, in immediately
available funds, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage
Commitment of such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation, and to the extent not
otherwise reimbursed by the Borrowers pursuant to clause (k) below, together
with an amount equal to the product of (a) the average, computed for the period
referred to in clause (c) below, of the weighted average interest rate paid by
the Agent for federal funds acquired by the Agent during each day included in
such period, times (b) the amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s
Revolving Credit Percentage Commitment of such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation,
times (c) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse
from and including the date the Agent paid the draft presented for honor or
otherwise made payment to the date on which such Revolving Credit Lender’s
Revolving Credit Percentage Commitment of such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation
shall become immediately available to the Agent, and the denominator of which
is 360. Any notice given by the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.20(j) may be
given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an
immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of
such notice.

 

(k)           With respect to any Unpaid Reimbursement
Obligation that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Loan in all
respects bearing interest at the Base Margin Rate because a Default or Event of
Default is then continuing, the conditions set forth in Article 4 cannot be
satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have
incurred from the Agent an extension of credit resulting from and in the amount
of the Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation that is not so refinanced, which
extension of credit shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest)
and shall bear interest at the default rate of interest for Revolving Credit
Loans bearing interest at the Base Margin Rate. In such event, each Revolving
Credit Lender’s payment to the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall be deemed payment in respect of its
participation in such extension of credit and shall constitute a funding of
such Revolving Credit Lender’s participation in such extension of credit in
satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.20.

 

(l)            Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its
Revolving Credit Percentage Commitment of the Revolving Credit Loans or
participations as set forth in this Section 2.20 to reimburse the Agent for any
amount drawn under any L/C, interest in respect of such Revolving

 

49

 

Credit
Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage Commitment of such amount shall be solely
for the account of the Agent.

 

(m)          If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make
available to the Agent any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Credit
Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.20 by the time
specified in this Section 2.20, the Agent shall be entitled to recover from
such Revolving Credit Lender (acting through the Agent), on demand, such amount
with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to
the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Agent at a rate
per annum equal to the weighted average interest rate paid by the Agent for
federal funds acquired by the Agent during each day included in such period. A
certificate of the applicable Issuing Bank submitted to any Revolving Credit
Lender (through the Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause
(m) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(n)           At any time after the Agent has made a
payment under any L/C and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such
Revolving Credit Lender’s participation in respect of such payment in
accordance with this Section 2.20, if the Agent receives any payment in respect
of the related Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation or interest thereon (whether
directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of cash collateral
applied thereto by the Agent), the Agent will distribute to such Revolving
Credit Lender its Revolving Credit Percentage Commitment thereof (appropriately
adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time
during which such Revolving Credit Lender’s participation was outstanding) in
United States Dollars and in the same funds as those received by the Agent. If
any payment received by the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.20(n) is required
to be returned in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or
otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the applicable
Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Agent
its Revolving Credit Percentage Commitment thereof on demand of the Agent, plus
interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is
returned by such Revolving Credit Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the
weighted average interest rate paid by the Agent for federal funds acquired by
the Agent during each day included in such period. The obligations of the
Revolving Credit Lenders under the immediately preceding sentence shall survive
the payment in full of the Liabilities and the termination of this Agreement.

 

(o)           Each Revolving Credit Lender and the
Borrowers agree that, in paying any drawing under an L/C, the Agent shall not
have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft,
certificates, and documents expressly required by the L/C) or to ascertain or
inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of
the Person executing or delivering any such document. The Borrowers hereby
assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with
respect to its use of any L/C; provided,
however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not,
preclude Borrowers’ pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against
the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Agent may accept
documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for
further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary,
and the Agent shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any
instrument transferring or assigning or

 

50

 

purporting
to transfer or assign an L/C of the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds
thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for
any reason.

 

(p)           Upon the request of the Agent, (A) if the
Agent has honored any full or partial drawing request under any L/C and such
drawing has resulted in an extension of credit resulting from and in the amount
of the Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to Section 2.20(k), or (B) if,
as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C or Unpaid Reimbursement
Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrowers shall, in each
case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of all such
L/C or Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations. For purposes of this Section 2.20(p), “Cash Collateralize”
means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Agent, for the benefit of
the Revolving Credit Lenders, as collateral, cash or deposit account balances
pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent
(which documents are hereby consented to by the Revolving Credit Lenders). Derivatives
of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrowers hereby grant to the
Agent, for benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, a security interest in all
such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the
foregoing.

 

2.21.       CHANGED
CIRCUMSTANCES.

 

(a)           The Agent may advise the Borrowers that the
Agent has made the good faith determination (which determination shall be final
and conclusive) of any of the following:

 

(i)            Adequate and fair means do not exist for
ascertaining the rate for LIBOR Loans.

 

(ii)           The continuation of or conversion of any Loan to a LIBOR Loan has been
made impracticable or unlawful by the occurrence of a contingency that
materially and adversely affects the applicable market or the compliance by the
Agent or any Lender in good faith with any Applicable Law.

 

(iii)          The indices on which the interest rates for LIBOR Loans are based shall
no longer represent the effective cost to the Agent or any Lender for U.S.
dollar deposits in the interbank market for deposits in which it regularly
participates.

 

(b)           In the event that the Agent advises the
Borrowers of an occurrence described in Section 2.21(a), then, until the Agent
notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no
longer apply:

 

(i)            The obligation of the Agent or each Revolving
Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender, as applicable to make loans of the type
affected by such changed circumstances or to permit the Borrowers to select the
affected interest rate as otherwise applicable to any Revolving Credit Loans or
all or any portion of the Term Loan shall be suspended.

 

(ii)           Any notice which the Lead Borrower had given the Agent with respect to
any LIBOR Loan, the time for action with respect to which has not occurred
prior to the

 

51

 

Agent’s
having given notice pursuant to Section 2.21(a), shall be deemed at the option
of the Agent to not having been given.

 

2.22.       LENDERS’
COMMITMENTS.

 

(a)           Subject to Sections 16.1 and 16.2 (which
provide for assignments and assumptions of commitments), each Revolving Credit
Lender’s “Revolving Credit Percentage Commitment”,
and  “Maximum
Revolving Credit Dollar Commitment” (respectively so referred to
herein) is set forth on SCHEDULE
2.22, annexed hereto.

 

(b)           The obligations of the Revolving Credit
Lenders hereunder are several and not joint. The failure of any Revolving
Credit Lender to make any loan or advance under the Revolving Credit, to fund
any participation in L/Cs and SwingLine Loans, or to make any payment pursuant
to Section 19.9(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other
Revolving Credit Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date,
and no Revolving Credit Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any
other Revolving Credit Lender to so make its Revolving Credit Percentage Commitment,
to purchase its participation, or to make its payment under Section 19.9(c). No
Revolving Credit Lender shall have any obligation to make any loan or advance
under the Revolving Credit in excess of the lesser of the following:

 

(i)            That Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving
Credit Percentage Commitment of the subject loan or advance or of Availability.

 

(ii)           That Revolving Credit Lender’s Maximum Revolving Credit Dollar
Commitment.

 

Further, no
Revolving Credit Lender shall have any obligation to make any loan or advance
under the Revolving Credit if the aggregate loans and advances outstanding
under the Revolving Credit attributable to such Revolving Credit Lender, after
giving effect to the subject loan or advance, would exceed the Maximum Revolving
Credit Dollar Commitment of such Revolving Credit Lender.

 

(c)           No Revolving Credit Lender shall have any
liability to the Borrowers on account of the failure of any other Revolving
Credit Lender to provide any loan or advance under the Revolving Credit nor any
obligation to make up any shortfall which may be created by such failure.

 

(d)           The Revolving Credit Dollar Commitments,
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages, and identities of the Revolving Credit
Lenders may be changed, from time to time by the reallocation or assignment of
Revolving Credit Dollar Commitments and Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages
amongst the Revolving Credit Lenders or with other Persons who determine to
become “Revolving Credit Lenders”, provided, however
unless an Event of Default has occurred (in which event, no consent of the
Borrowers is required) any assignment to a Person not then a Revolving Credit
Lender shall be subject to the prior consent of the Borrowers (not to be
unreasonably withheld), which consent will be deemed given unless the

 

52

 

Borrowers
provide the Agent with written objection, not more than Five (5) Business Days
after the Agent shall have given the Borrowers written notice of a proposed
assignment).

 

(e)           Upon written notice given the Borrowers from
time to time by the Agent, of any assignment or allocation referenced in
Section 2.22(d):

 

(i)            The Borrowers shall execute one or more
replacement Revolving Credit Notes to reflect such changed Maximum Revolving
Credit Dollar Commitments, Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages, and
identities and shall deliver such replacement Revolving Credit Notes to the
Agent (which promptly thereafter shall deliver to the Borrowers the Revolving
Credit Notes so replaced) provided however,
in the event that a Revolving Credit Note is to be exchanged following its
acceleration or the entry of an order for relief under the Bankruptcy Code with
respect to the Borrowers, the Agent, in lieu of causing the Borrowers to
execute one or more new Revolving Credit Notes, may issue the Agent’s
Certificate confirming the resulting Revolving Credit Dollar Commitments and
Revolving Credit Percentage Commitments.

 

(ii)           Such change shall be effective from the effective date specified in such
written notice and any Person added as a Revolving Credit Lender shall have all
rights and privileges of a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder thereafter as if
such Person had been a signatory to this Agreement and any other Loan Document
to which a Revolving Credit Lender is a signatory and any Person removed as a
Revolving Credit Lender shall be relieved of any obligations or
responsibilities of a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder thereafter.

 

2.23.       REVOLVING
CREDIT FUNDING PROCEDURES. Subject
to Section 2.24:

 

(a)          The Agent shall advise each Revolving Credit
Lender, no later than 2:00PM on a date on which any Revolving Credit Loan
(other than a SwingLine Loan) is to be made on that date. Such advice, in each
instance, may be by telephone or facsimile transmission, provided
that if such advice is by telephone, it shall be confirmed in
writing. Advice of a Revolving Credit Loan shall include the amount of and
interest rate applicable to the subject Revolving Credit Loan.

 

(b)          Subject to that Revolving Credit Lender’s
Revolving Credit Dollar Commitment, each Revolving Credit Lender, by no later
than the end of business on the day on which the subject Revolving Credit Loan
is to be made, shall Transfer that Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit
Percentage Commitment of the subject Revolving Credit Loan to the Agent.

 

(c)          Unless the Agent shall have received notice
from a Revolving Credit Lender at least one (1) Business Day prior to the
proposed date on which any Revolving Credit Loan (other than a SwingLine Loan)
is to be made that such Revolving Credit Lender will not make available to the
Agent such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage Commitment of
such Revolving Credit Loan, the Agent may assume that such Revolving Credit
Lender has made such Revolving Credit Percentage Commitment of such Revolving
Credit Loan available on such date, and the Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such
event, if a Revolving Credit Lender has not in fact made its

 

53

 

Revolving Credit Percentage Commitment of
such Revolving Credit Loan available, then the applicable Revolving Credit
Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Agent forthwith on
demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available
to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (A) in
the case of a payment to be made by such Revolving Credit Lender, the greater
of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a
payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate
Loans. If the Borrowers and such Revolving Credit Lender shall pay such
interest to the Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Agent shall
promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the
Borrowers for such period.

 

(d)          Unless the Agent shall have received notice
from the Lead Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date on which
any payment is due to the Agent for its account or the account of the Revolving
Credit Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the
Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in
accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute the
amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment,
then each of the Revolving Credit Lenders severally agrees to repay to the
Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Revolving Credit
Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from
and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the
date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a
rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation. A statement of the Agent submitted to such Revolving
Credit Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be
conclusive (absent manifest error) evidence of the amount due and owing to the
Agent by such Revolving Credit Lender.

 

2.24.       SWINGLINE
LOAN PROCEDURES.

 

(a)          In the event that, when a Revolving Credit
Loan is requested, the aggregate unpaid balance of the SwingLine Loan is less
than the SwingLine Loan Ceiling, then the SwingLine Lender may advise the Agent
that the SwingLine Lender has determined to include up to the amount of the
requested Revolving Credit Loan as part of the SwingLine Loan. In such event,
the SwingLine Lender shall Transfer the amount of the requested Revolving
Credit Loan to the Agent.

 

(b)           The SwingLine Loan shall be converted to a
Revolving Credit Loan in which all Revolving Credit Lenders participate as
follows:

 

(i)            At any time and from time to time, the
SwingLine Lender may advise the Agent that all, or any part of the SwingLine
Loan is to be converted to a Revolving Credit Loan in which all Revolving
Credit Lenders participate.

 

(ii)            At the initiation of a Liquidation, the
then entire unpaid principal balance of the SwingLine Loan shall be converted
to a Revolving Credit Loan in which all Revolving Credit Lenders participate.

 

54

 

In either such event, the Agent shall advise
each Revolving Credit Lender of such conversion as if, and with the same effect
as if such conversion were the making of a Revolving Credit Loan as provided in
Section 2.1.

 

(c)           The SwingLine
Lender, in separate capacities, may also be the Agent and a Revolving Credit
Lender.

 

(d)           The SwingLine
Lender, in its capacity as SwingLine Lender, is not a “Revolving Credit Lender”
for any of the following purposes:

 

(i)             Except as
otherwise specifically provided in the relevant Section, any distribution
pursuant to Section 2.26.

 

(ii)            Determination
of whether the requisite Loan Commitments have Consented to action requiring
such Consent.

 

2.25.       AGENT’S COVERING OF FUNDING.

 

(a)           Subject to the
provisions of Section 2.22 hereof, each Revolving Credit Lender shall make
available to the Agent, as provided herein, that Revolving Credit Lender’s
Revolving Credit Percentage Commitment of the following:

 

(i)            Each Revolving
Credit Loan, up to the maximum amount of that Revolving Credit Lender’s
Revolving Credit Dollar Commitment of the Revolving Credit Loans.

 

(ii)           Up to the maximum
amount of that Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Dollar Commitment of
each L/C Drawing (to the extent that such L/C Drawing is not “covered” by a
Revolving Credit Loan as provided herein).

 

(b)           In all
circumstances, the Agent may:

 

(i)            Assume that each
Revolving Credit Lender, subject to Section 2.25(a), timely shall make
available to the Agent that Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage
Commitment of each Revolving Credit Loan, notice of which is provided pursuant
to Section 2.23 and shall make available, to the extent not “covered” by a
Revolving Credit Loan, that Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit
Percentage Commitment of any honoring of an L/C.

 

(ii)           In reliance upon
such assumption, make available the corresponding amount to the Borrowers.

 

(iii)           Assume that each
Revolving Credit Lender timely shall pay, and shall make available, to the
Agent all other amounts which that Revolving Credit Lender is obligated to so
pay and/or make available hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents.

 

55

 

(c)           In
the event that, in reliance upon any of such assumptions, the Agent makes available,
a Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage Commitment of one or
more Revolving Credit Loans, or any other amount to be made available hereunder
or under any of the Loan Documents, which amount a Revolving Credit Lender (a “Delinquent Revolving Credit Lender”) fails to provide to the
Agent within One (1) Business Day of written notice of such failure, then:

 

(i)            The amount which
had been made available by the Agent is an “Agent’s
Cover” (and is so referred to herein).

 

(ii)           All interest paid
by the Borrowers on account of the Revolving Credit Loan or coverage of the
subject L/C Drawing which consist of the Agent’s Cover shall be retained by the
Agent until the Agent’s Cover, with interest, has been paid.

 

(i)            The Delinquent Revolving Credit
Lender shall pay to the Agent, on demand, interest at a rate equal to the
prevailing federal funds rate on any Agent’s Cover in respect of that
Delinquent Revolving Credit Lender.

 

(ii)           The Agent shall have succeeded to all
rights to payment to which the Delinquent Revolving Credit Lender otherwise
would have been entitled hereunder in respect of those amounts paid by or in
respect of the Borrowers on account of the Agent’s Cover together with interest
until it is repaid. Such payments shall be deemed made first towards the
amounts in respect of which the Agent’s Cover was provided and only then
towards amounts in which the Delinquent Revolving Credit Lender is then
participating. For purposes of distributions to be made pursuant to Section
2.26(a) (which relates to ordinary course distributions) or Section 13.6 (which
relates to distributions of proceeds of a Liquidation) below, amounts shall be
deemed distributable to a Delinquent Revolving Credit Lender (and consequently,
to the Agent to the extent to which the Agent is then entitled) at the highest
level of distribution (if applicable) at which the Delinquent Revolving Credit
Lender would otherwise have been entitled to a distribution.

 

(iii)          Subject to Subsection 2.25(c)(iv), the
Delinquent Revolving Credit Lender shall be entitled to receive any payments
from the Borrowers to which the Delinquent Revolving Credit Lender is then
entitled, provided however there shall be deducted
from such amount and retained by the Agent any interest to which the Agent is
then entitled on account of Section 2.25(c)(ii), above.

 

(vi)          A Delinquent
Revolving Credit Lender shall not be relieved of any obligation of such
Delinquent Revolving Credit Lender hereunder (all and each of which shall
constitute continuing obligations on the part of any Delinquent Revolving
Credit Lender).

 

56

 

(d)           A Delinquent
Revolving Credit Lender may cure its status as a Delinquent Revolving Credit
Lender by paying the Agent the aggregate of the following:

 

(i)            The Agent’s Cover
(to the extent not previously repaid by the Borrowers and retained by the Agent
in accordance with Subsection 2.25(c)(iv), above) with respect to that
Delinquent Revolving Credit Lender.

 

Plus

 

(ii)           The aggregate of
the amount payable under Subsection 2.25(c)(iii), above (which relates to
interest to be paid by that Delinquent Revolving Credit Lender).

 

Plus

 

(iii)           All such costs and
expenses as may be incurred by the Agent in the enforcement of the Agent’s
rights against such Delinquent Revolving Credit Lender.

 

2.26.       ORDINARY COURSE DISTRIBUTIONS. This Section 2.26 applies unless the
provisions of Section 13.6 (which relates to distributions in the event of a
Liquidation) becomes operative.

 

(a)           Weekly, on such day
as may be set from time to time by the Agent (or more frequently at the Agent’s
option) the Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender shall settle up on amounts
advanced under the Revolving Credit and collected funds received in the
Concentration Account.

 

(b)           The Agent shall
distribute to the SwingLine Lender and to each Revolving Credit Lender, such
Person’s respective pro-rata share of interest payments on the Revolving Credit
Loans when applied by the Agent as provided in Section 8.5(a). For purposes of
calculating interest due to a Revolving Credit Lender, that Revolving Credit
Lender shall be entitled to receive interest on the actual amount contributed
by that Revolving Credit Lender towards the principal balance of the Revolving
Credit Loans outstanding during the applicable period covered by the interest
payment made by the Borrowers. Any net principal reductions to the Revolving
Credit Loans received by the Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents during
such period shall not reduce such actual amount so contributed, for purposes of
calculation of interest due to that Revolving Credit Lender, until the Agent
has distributed to that Revolving Credit Lender its pro-rata share thereof.

 

(c)           The Agent shall
distribute to each Term Loan Lender such Person’s respective pro-rata share of
interest payments on the Term Loan when applied by the Agent as provided in
Section 8.5(a). For purposes of calculating interest due to a Term Loan Lender,
that Term Loan Lender shall be entitled to receive interest on the actual amount
contributed by that Term Loan Lender towards the principal balance of the Term
Loan outstanding during the applicable period covered by the interest payment
made by the Borrowers. Any net principal reductions to the Term Loan received
by the Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents during such period shall not
reduce such actual amount so contributed, for purposes of calculation of
interest due to

 

57

 

that
Term Loan Lender, until the Agent has distributed to that Term Loan Lender its
pro-rata share thereof.

 

(d)           The Agent shall
distribute fees paid on account of the Revolving Credit in accordance with the
terms of the Agreement.

 

(e)           The Agent shall
distribute fees paid on account of the Term Loan in accordance with the terms
of the Agreement.

 

(f)            No Revolving Credit
Lender shall have any interest in, or right to receive any part of, the Agent’s
Fee to be paid by the Borrowers to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(g)           Any amount received
by the Agent as reimbursement for any cost or expense (including without
limitation, attorneys’ reasonable fees) shall be distributed by the Agent to
that Person which is entitled to such reimbursement as provided in this
Agreement (and if such Person(s) is (are) the Revolving Credit Lenders or the
Term Loan Lenders, pro-rata based upon their respective Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentages or Term Loan Percentages, as applicable, at the date on
which the expense, in respect of which such reimbursement is being made, was
incurred).

 

(h)          Each
distribution pursuant to this Section 2.26 is subject to Section 2.25(c),
above.

 

2.27.       JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY OF BORROWERS.

 

(a)          Each
Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided
by the Lenders under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and
indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the
other Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the Liabilities.

 

(b)          Each
Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several
liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance
of all of the Liabilities (including any Liabilities arising under this Section
2.27), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Liabilities
shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower without preferences
or distinction among them.

 

(c)          If
and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect
to any of the Liabilities as and when due or to perform any of the Liabilities
in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other
Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Liability.

 

(d)          The
Liabilities of each Borrower under this Agreement and pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 2.27 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full
recourse Liabilities of each Borrower enforceable against each Borrower to the
full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity,
regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other

 

58

 

circumstances whatsoever.

 

(e)          Except
as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Borrower hereby waives
notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of the
occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, or of any demand for any payment
under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by
Agent or Lenders under or in respect of any of the Liabilities, any requirement
of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in
connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement).
Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or
postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Liabilities, the
acceptance of any payment of any of the Liabilities, the acceptance of any
partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by
Agent or Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower
in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or
provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by Agent
or Lenders in respect of any of the Liabilities, and the taking, addition,
substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any
security for any of the Liabilities or the addition, substitution or release,
in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or
failure to act on the part of Agent or any Lender with respect to the failure
by any Borrower to comply with any of its respective Liabilities, including,
without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or
to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations
thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.27 afford
grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Borrower, in whole or in
part, from any of its obligations under this Section 2.27, it being the
intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Liabilities hereunder
remain unsatisfied, the obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.27
shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of
such performance. The obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.27
shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up,
reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding
with respect to any Borrower or Agent or any Lender.

 

(f)           Each
Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders that such Borrower is
currently informed of the financial condition of Borrowers and of all other
circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the
risk of nonpayment of the Liabilities. Each Borrower further represents and
warrants to Agent and Lenders that such Borrower has read and understands the
terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby covenants that
such Borrower will continue to keep informed of the Borrowers’ financial
condition, the financial condition of other guarantors, if any, and of all
other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of
the Liabilities.

 

(g)          Each
Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies
by Agent or any Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a
foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed
Agent’s or such Lender’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against such
Borrower.

 

(h)          The
provisions of this Section 2.27 are made for the benefit of Agent, Lenders and

 

59

 

their respective successors and assigns, and
may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any or all Borrowers as
often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of
Agent, Lender, successor or assign first to marshal any of its or their claims
or to exercise any of its or their rights against any Borrower or to exhaust
any remedies available to it or them against any Borrower or to resort to any
other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Liabilities hereunder
or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.27 shall remain
in effect until all of the Liabilities shall have been paid in full or
otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof,
made in respect of any of the Liabilities, is rescinded or must otherwise be
restored or returned by Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section
2.27 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not
been made.

 

(i)           Each
Borrower hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of
contribution or subrogation against any other Borrower with respect to any
liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents,
any payments made by it to Agent or Lenders with respect to any of the
Liabilities or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of the
Liabilities have been paid in full in cash. Any claim which any Borrower may
have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to Agent or any
Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made
subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any
increases in the Liabilities arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior
payment in full in cash of the Liabilities and, in the event of any insolvency,
bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar
proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Borrower, its
debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Liabilities
shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any
character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any
other Borrower therefor.

 

(j)           Each
Borrower hereby agrees that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Default or Event of Default, the payment of any amounts due with respect to
the indebtedness owing by any Borrower to any other Borrower is hereby
subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of the Liabilities. Each
Borrower hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Default or Event of Default, such Borrower will not demand, sue for or
otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any other Borrower owing to
such Borrower until the Liabilities shall have been paid in full in cash. If,
notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Borrower shall collect, enforce or
receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts shall be
collected, enforced and received by such Borrower as trustee for Agent, and
such Borrower shall deliver any such amounts to Agent for application to the
Liabilities.

 

ARTICLE III.        THE
TERM LOANS

 

3.1.         COMMITMENT TO LEND. (a) In connection with the Existing Loan
Agreement, each Term Loan A Lender made a loan to Gander in the amount of its
Term Loan Percentage of Term Loan A in the principal amount of $20,000,000.

 

60

 

(b)           Subject to the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Restatement Effective
Date  each Term Loan B Lender agrees to
lend to the Borrowers the amount of its Term Loan Percentage of Term Loan B in
the principal amount of $40,000,000.

 

3.2.         THE TERM NOTES. Term Loan A, issued by Term Loan A Lenders,
shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes of the Borrowers, each in
substantially the form of Exhibit G-1 hereto (each a “Term Note A”), with the Term Notes previously issued to Term
Loan A Lenders under the Existing Loan Agreement being amended and restated on
the Restatement Effective Date to reference the Borrowers. Term Loan B, issued
by Term Loan B Lenders, shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes of the
Borrowers, each in substantially the form of Exhibit G-2 hereto (each a “Term Note B”) and issued to the Term Loan B Lenders on the
Restatement Effective Date. The Borrowers
irrevocably authorize each Term Loan Lender to make or cause to be made a
notation on such Term Loan Lender’s records reflecting the original principal
amount of such Term Loan Lender’s portion of the Term Loan and, at or about the
time of the Term Loan Lender’s receipt of any principal payment on the Term
Note, an appropriate notation on such Term Loan Lender’s records reflecting
such payment. The aggregate unpaid amount set forth on each Term Loan Lender’s
records shall be prima facie evidence of the
principal amount thereof owed and unpaid on such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan,
but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on
such Term Loan Lender’s records shall not affect the obligations of the
Borrowers hereunder or under any Term Notes to make payments of principal of
and interest on the Term Notes when due.

 

3.3.         PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL OF TERM LOANS.

 

(a)           Term Loan A.

 

(i)            Except as contemplated by Section
13.6, the Borrowers may not make
any prepayments of principal on account of Term Loan A until the Borrowers’
Revolving Credit Obligations to the Revolving Credit Lenders have been paid in
full and the Revolving Credit Dollar Commitments have been terminated; provided, however, from the period commencing on the first
anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date through the Maturity Date, the
Borrowers may prepay Term Loan A in whole or in part, provided
that at the time of such prepayment:

 

(A)       the Borrowers are not In Default, and no
Event of Default exists or would occur as a result of such prepayment,

 

(B)       the Borrowers shall have delivered to the
Agent evidence for the 2 month period ending immediately prior to the
prepayment of Term Loan A demonstrating, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Agent, that Availability was greater than $50,000,000 at all times during
such 2 month period, and

 

(C)       the Borrowers shall have delivered to the
Agent pro forma financial statements for the succeeding period of 2 months
demonstrating, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, that
Availability will exceed $50,000,000 at all times during such 2 month period

(B)       The Borrowers shall repay Term Loan B in
an amount equal to 50% of Overton’s Excess Cash Flow (the “Excess Cash
Flow Payment”) (i) for the Fiscal year 2009, on July 31, 2010, and
(ii) for the Fiscal year 2010, on July 31, 2011, so long as the Excess Cash
Flow Payment Condition is satisfied as determined with reference to the then
most recent Borrowing Base Certificate. If 
the Borrowers are unable to meet the Excess Cash Flow Payment Condition
on the applicable date of payment, the 
Borrowers  shall repay Term Loan B
in an amount equal to the Excess Cash Flow Payment plus
any interest that has accrued thereon on the last day of the subsequent Fiscal
quarter so long as the Excess Cash Flow Payment Condition is satisfied as
determined by reference to the then most recent Borrowing Base Certificate. Any
amount of Excess Cash Flow Payment not repaid on the date or dates set forth
above (whether or not the Excess Cash Flow Payment Condition is satisfied) shall
bear interest at LIBOR plus the Term
Loan B Applicable Margin plus 2.0% until
such repayment is made.

 

62

 

(C)       Notwithstanding anything in clause (A) to
the contrary, the Borrowers shall not make any repayment referred to in clause
(A), and no Term Loan B Lender shall accept such repayment, and an Event of
Default shall occur under Section 11.1, (I) if the Borrowers are In Default, or
an Event of Default exists or would occur as a result of such repayment, or
(II) in the event that Availability immediately before or after giving effect
to any repayment referred to in clause (A) would be less than 10% of the lesser
of (1) the then-current Maximum Revolving Credit Ceiling or (2) (x) the
then-current Borrowing Base plus (y) the
Term Loan A to Value Reserve (and, at any time after the Term Loan B Guaranties
have been released or otherwise terminated and so long as Term Loan B is
outstanding, the Term Loan B to Value Reserve) less
(z) Availability Reserves.

 

Prepayments
of Term Loan B shall be applied to reduce mandatory prepayments under clause
(A) above in the direct order of maturity.

 

(ii)           Optional Prepayments. Except as
contemplated by Section 13.6, the Borrowers
may not make any prepayments of principal on account of Term Loan B until the
Borrowers’ Revolving Credit Obligations to the Revolving Credit Lenders and
Borrowers’ Term Loan A Obligations to the Term Loan A Lenders have been paid in
full and the Revolving Credit Dollar Commitments and Term Loan A Commitments
have been terminated; provided, however,
that the Borrowers may prepay
Term Loan B in whole or in part at any time without penalty or premium, subject
to, in the case of prepayment of LIBOR borrowings, reimbursement of the Term B
Lenders’ breakage and redeployment costs, provided further
that: 

 

(A)       the Borrowers are not In Default, and no
Event of Default exists or would occur as a result of such prepayment;

 

(B)       the Borrowers shall have delivered to the
Agent evidence demonstrating, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent,
that Availability for the period ending immediately prior to the prepayment of
the Term Loan B was equal to or greater than 20% of the lesser of (1) the
then-current Maximum Revolving Credit Ceiling or (2) (x) the then-current
Borrowing Base plus (y) the Term Loan A to Value
Reserve (and, at any time after the Term Loan B Guaranties have been released
or otherwise terminated and so long as Term Loan B is outstanding, the Term
Loan B to Value Reserve) less (z)
Availability Reserves; and

 

(C)       the Borrowers shall have delivered to the
Agent pro forma financial statements for the succeeding period of six months
demonstrating, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, that
Availability will equal or exceed 20% of the lesser of (1) the then-current
Maximum Revolving Credit Ceiling or (2) (x) the then-current Borrowing Base plus (y) the Term Loan A to Value Reserve (and, at any time
after the Term Loan B Guaranties have been released or otherwise terminated and
so long as Term Loan B is outstanding, the

 

63

 

Term
Loan B to Value Reserve) less (z)
Availability Reserves at all times during such six month period after giving
effect to such prepayment of the Term Loan B.

 

Prepayments
of Term Loan B shall be applied to reduce mandatory prepayments under clause
(b)(i)(A) above in the direct order of maturity.

 

(c)           No amount repaid
with respect to the Term Loan may be reborrowed. In the event of any repayment
or prepayment of any Term Loan on any day other than an Interest Payment Date,
such payment shall be accompanied by all interest accrued with respect to the
principal amount being repaid.

 

(d)           The Borrowers promise to pay (a) on the
Maturity Date for Term Loan A, and there shall become absolutely due and
payable on such Maturity Date, the amount outstanding under the Term Loan A
facility on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon and fees in connection with Term Loan A, and (b) subject to the provisions
of Section 3.3(b)(i)(C), on the Maturity Date for Term Loan B, and there shall

to July 1, 2008, the Borrowers
shall pay to the Agent for the pro  rata accounts of the Term Loan
A Lenders, in view of the impracticality and extreme difficulty of ascertaining
the actual amount of damages to the Term Loan A Lenders or profits lost by the
Term Loan A Lenders as a result thereof, and by mutual agreement of the parties
as to a reasonable estimation and calculation of the lost profits or damages of
the Term Loan A Lenders, a fee with respect to each such prepayment (the “Term Loan A Early Termination Fee”) in an amount equal to
0.50% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan A if the
Termination Date occurs on or before July 1, 2008. There shall be no Term Loan
A Early Termination Fee payable if the Termination Date occurs after July 1,
2008.

 

3.5.         INTEREST ON TERM LOAN.

 

(a) Term Loan A

 

(i)            The outstanding amount of Term Loan
A shall bear interest until repaid at the rate per annum equal to the sum of
Base plus 1.25% unless timely
notice is given that all or a portion of Term Loan A is to be converted to a
LIBOR Loan; and

 

(ii)           each portion of the Term Loan A which
consists of a LIBOR Loan shall bear interest at the sum of LIBOR plus 2.75%

(i)            The outstanding amount of Term Loan
B shall bear interest until repaid at the rate per annum equal to the sum of
Base plus the Term Loan B Applicable Margin

 

64

 

unless
timely notice is given that all or a portion of Term Loan B is to be converted
to a LIBOR Loan; and

 

(ii)           each portion of Term Loan B which
consists of a LIBOR Loan shall bear interest at the sum of LIBOR plus the Term Loan B Applicable Margin.

 

(c)  Subject to, and in
accordance with, the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may cause all
or a part of the unpaid principal balance of any Term Loan to bear interest
determined by reference to Base or LIBOR as specified from time to time by the
Borrowers. The Borrowers shall notify the Agent, such notice to be irrevocable,
at least two (2) LIBOR Business Days prior to the Drawdown Date if all or any
portion of such Term Loan is to bear interest at the LIBOR Offer Rate. After a
Term Loan has been made, the provisions of Section 2.5 shall apply mutatis mutandis with respect to all or any portion of such
Term Loan so that the Borrowers may have the same interest rate options with
respect to all or any portion of the Term Loan as it would be entitled to with
respect to Revolving Credit Loans.

 

(d)  The Borrowers shall not
select, renew, or convert any interest rate for all or any portion of the Term
Loan such that there are more than four (4) portions of the Term Loans which
are LIBOR Loans at any one time.

 

(e)  The Borrowers shall pay
accrued and unpaid interest on each Term Loan in arrears as follows:

 

(i) on the applicable Interest Payment Date for the relevant portion of
the Term Loan,

 

(ii) on the applicable Termination Date and on the End Date, and

 

(iii) following the occurrence of any Event of Default, with such
frequency as may be determined by the Agent.

 

(f)  Following the occurrence and
continuance of any Event of Default, at the option of the Agent or at the
instruction of the SuperMajority Term Loan A Lenders or SuperMajority Term Loan
B Lenders, as the case may be, interest shall accrue and shall be payable on
the unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan A or Term Loan B, as the case may
be, at a rate which is the aggregate of the rate applicable to the unpaid
principal balance of such Term Loan as provided in clause (a) or (b) herein, as
the case may be, plus three
percent (3%) per annum.

 

3.6.         PAYMENTS ON ACCOUNT OF TERM LOAN. The Borrowers authorize the Agent to determine
and to pay over directly to the Term Loan Lenders any and all amounts due and
payable from time to time under or on account of the Term Loan as advances
under the Revolving Credit of the Borrowers, it being
understood, however, that the authorization of
the Agent provided in this Section 3.6 shall not excuse the Borrowers from fulfilling its
obligations to the Term Loan Lenders on account of the Term Loan nor place any
obligation on the Agent to do so. The Agent shall provide prompt advice to the
Borrowers of any amount which is so paid over by the Agent to the Term Loan
Lenders pursuant to this Section 3.6. The Borrowers shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate or repayment
of any fee or assessment previously earned by

 

65

 

the
Term Loan Lenders pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding any termination of
this Agreement or suspension or termination of the Agent’s and any Lender’s
respective obligation to make loans and advances hereunder.

federal, state and local statutes and ordinances dealing with the control,

or in the aggregate, on the Borrowers’ business or assets.

 

5.26.       ADEQUACY OF DISCLOSURE.

 

(a)           Except as set forth
on SCHEDULE 5.26 to the
Closing Certificate, all financial statements furnished to the Agent, to each
Revolving Credit Lender and to each Term Loan

 

80

 

Lender
by the Borrowers have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied and present fairly the condition of the Borrowers at the date(s)
thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the period(s) covered
(provided however, that unaudited
financial statements are subject to normal year end adjustments and to the
absence of footnotes). There has been no change in the financial condition,
results of operations, or cash flows of the Borrowers since the date of the
most recent financial statements, other than changes in the ordinary course of
business, which changes have not been materially adverse, either singularly or
in the aggregate.

 

(b)           Except as set forth
on SCHEDULE 5.26 to the
Closing Certificate, as of the date of this Agreement, the Borrowers do not
have any material contingent obligations or material obligation under any Lease
or Capital Lease which is not noted in the Borrowers’ financial statements
furnished to the Agent, to each Revolving Credit Lender and to each Term Loan
Lender prior to the execution of this Agreement.

 

(c)           No document,
instrument, agreement, or paper now or hereafter given to the Agent, to any
Revolving Credit Lender or to any Term Loan Lender by or on behalf of the
Borrowers in connection with the execution of this Agreement by the Agent, each
Revolving Credit Lender and each Term Loan Lender (other than projections or
forecasts, which are and will be made in good faith using reasonable
assumptions taken as a whole) contains or will contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in
order to make the statements therein not misleading. There is no fact known to
the Borrowers which has, or which, in the foreseeable future would reasonably
be expected to have, a material adverse effect on the financial condition of
the Borrowers which has not been disclosed in writing to the Agent, to each
Revolving Credit Lender and to each Term Loan Lender.

 

(d)           Since
the date of each Borrower’s most recent financial statements, no Internal
Control Event has occurred.

 

5.27.       NO RESTRICTIONS ON LIABILITIES. No Borrower shall not enter into or
directly or indirectly become subject to any agreement which prohibits or
restricts, in any manner, such Borrower’s:

 

(a)           Creation of, and
granting of Collateral Interests in favor of the Agent.

 

(b)           Incurrence of
Liabilities.

 

5.28.       OTHER COVENANTS. No Borrower shall not indirectly do or
cause to be done any act which, if done directly by such Borrower, would breach
any covenant contained in this Agreement.

5.29.       ADDITIONAL SUBSIDIARIES. The Borrowers shall notify the Agent at the
time that any Person becomes a Subsidiary (including, without limitation, a
wholly-owned Subsidiary or Majority-Owned Subsidiary), and promptly thereafter
(and in any event within 10 Business Days), cause such Person to become a “Borrower”
under this Agreement and to execute and deliver such documents, instruments and
agreement and to take such other actions as the Agent shall require to become a
Borrower hereunder and to evidence and perfect a first priority Lien in favor
of the Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) on all assets of such Person
(subject only to any Permitted Encumbrances on such assets).

 

5.30.       FURTHER ASSURANCES.

 

(a)           No Borrower is the
owner of, nor has it any interest in, any material Collateral which,
immediately upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the
effectiveness of the credit facility contemplated hereby (Article 4) will not
be subject to a perfected Collateral Interest in favor of the Agent (subject
only to Permitted Encumbrances) to secure the Liabilities.

 

(b)           The Borrowers will
not hereafter acquire any material Collateral which is not, immediately upon

(c)           The Borrowers shall
execute and deliver to the Agent such instruments, documents, and papers, and
shall do all such things from time to time hereafter as the Agent may request
to carry into effect the provisions and intent of this Agreement; to protect
and perfect the Agent’s Collateral Interests in the Collateral; and to comply
with all applicable statutes and laws, and facilitate the collection of the
Receivables Collateral. The Borrowers shall execute all such instruments as may
be required by the Agent with respect to the recordation and/or perfection of
the Collateral Interests created or contemplated herein.

irrevocably constitute and appoint the Agent as and for the Borrowers’ true and
lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, to file any financing
statements in order to perfect or protect the Agent’s Collateral Interests in
the Collateral.

 

(e)           This Agreement
constitutes an authenticated record which authorizes the Agent to file such
financing statements as the Agent determines as appropriate to perfect or
protect the Collateral Interests created by this Agreement.

 

(f)            A carbon,
photographic, or other reproduction of this Agreement or of any financing

Collateral.

of all or any portion of the Collateral.

 

(e)           To sell, lease, or
otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral, in its then condition or
following such preparation or processing as the Agent deems advisable and with
or without the taking of possession of any of the Collateral.

 

(f)            To conduct one or
more going out of business sales which include the sale or other disposition of

12.3.       SALE OF COLLATERAL.

 

(a)           Any sale or other
disposition of the Collateral may be at public or private sale upon such terms
and in such manner as the Agent deems advisable, having due regard to
compliance with any statute or regulation which might affect, limit, or apply
to the Agent’s disposition of the Collateral.

 

(b)           The Agent, in the
exercise of the Agent’s rights and remedies upon default, may conduct one or
more going out of business sales, in the Agent’s own right or by one or more
agents and contractors. Such sale(s) may be conducted upon any premises owned,
leased, or occupied by the Borrowers. The Agent and any such agent or
contractor, in conjunction with any such sale, may augment the Inventory with
other goods (all of which other goods shall remain the sole property of the
Agent or such agent or contractor). Any amounts realized from the sale of such
goods which constitute augmentations to the Inventory (net of an allocable
share of the costs and expenses incurred in their disposition) shall be the
sole property of the Agent or such agent or contractor and neither the
Borrowers nor any Person claiming under or in right of the Borrowers shall have
any interest therein.

 

(c)           Unless the
Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value, or is of a
type customarily sold on a recognized market (in which event the Agent shall
provide the Borrowers such notice as may be practicable under the
circumstances), the Agent shall give the Borrowers at least Ten (10) days prior
written notice of the date, time, and place of any proposed public sale, and of
the date after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral
may be made. The Borrowers agree that such written notice shall satisfy all requirements
for notice to the Borrowers which are imposed under the UCC or other applicable
law with respect to the exercise of the Agent’s rights and remedies upon
default.

 

(d)           The Agent, any
Revolving Credit Lender and any Term Loan Lender may purchase the Collateral,
or any portion of it at any sale held under this Article 12.

 

101

 

(e)           If any of the
Collateral is sold, leased, or otherwise disposed of by the Agent on credit,
the Liabilities shall not be deemed to have been reduced as a result thereof
unless and until payment is finally received thereon by the Agent.

 

(f)            The Agent shall
apply the proceeds of the Agent’s exercise of its rights and remedies upon
default pursuant to this Article 12 in accordance with Sections 13.6 and 13.7.

use any premises owned or occupied by the Borrowers, and may exclude the
Borrowers from such premises or portion thereof as may have been so entered
upon, occupied, or used by the Agent. The Agent shall not be required to remove
any of the Collateral from any such premises upon the Agent’s taking possession
thereof, and may render any Collateral unusable to the Borrowers. In no event
shall the Agent be liable to the Borrowers for use or occupancy by the Agent of
any premises pursuant to this Article 12, nor for any charge (such as wages for
the Borrowers’ employees and utilities) incurred in connection with the Agent’s
exercise of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies.

 

12.5.       GRANT OF NONEXCLUSIVE LICENSE. The Borrowers hereby grant to the Agent a
royalty free nonexclusive irrevocable license to use, apply, and affix any trademark,
trade name, logo, or the like in which the Borrowers now or hereafter have
rights, such license being with respect to the Agent’s exercise of the rights
hereunder including, without limitation, in connection with any completion of
the manufacture of Inventory or sale or other disposition of Inventory.

 

12.6.       ASSEMBLY OF COLLATERAL. The Agent may require the Borrowers to
assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at the Borrowers’
sole risk and expense at a place or places which are reasonably convenient to
both the Agent and the Borrowers.

 

12.7.       RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. The rights, remedies, powers, privileges,
and discretions of the Agent hereunder (herein, the “Agent’s Rights and Remedies”) shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have. No delay or
omission by the Agent in exercising or enforcing any of the Agent’s Rights and
Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof. No waiver by the
Agent of any Event of Default or of any default under any other agreement shall
operate as a waiver of any other default hereunder or under any other agreement.
No single or partial exercise of any of the Agent’s Rights or Remedies and no
express or implied agreement or transaction of whatever nature entered into
between the Agent and any person, at any time, shall preclude the other or
further exercise of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies. No waiver by the Agent of
any of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver
on any subsequent occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver. The
Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised at such time or times and in such
order of preference as the Agent may determine. The Agent’s Rights and Remedies
may be exercised without resort or regard to any other source of satisfaction
of the Liabilities.

14.2.       RESPONSIBILITIES OF AGENT.

 

(a)           The Agent shall not
have any duties or responsibilities to any Revolving Credit Lender or any Term
Loan Lender except for those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the
other Loan Documents. Neither the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent
nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities under this
Agreement.

 

(b)           The Agent shall not

the terms “Revolving Credit Lender” or “Revolving Credit Lenders” or “Term Loan
Lender” or “Term Loan Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or

by the other Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed
in writing by the SuperMajority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of
the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan

109

 

14.3.       CONCERNING DISTRIBUTIONS BY THE AGENT.

 

(a)           The Agent in the
Agent’s reasonable discretion based upon the Agent’s determination of the
likelihood that additional payments will be received, expenses incurred, and/or
claims made by third parties to all or a portion of such proceeds, may delay
the distribution of any payment received on account of the Liabilities.

 

(b)           The Agent may
disburse funds prior to determining that the sums which the Agent expects to
receive have been finally and unconditionally paid to the Agent. If and to the
extent that the Agent does disburse funds and it later becomes apparent that
the Agent did not then receive a payment in an amount equal to the sum paid
out, then any Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender to whom the Agent
made the funds available, on demand from the Agent, shall refund to the Agent
the sum paid to that person.

 

(c)           If, in the opinion
of the Agent, the distribution of any amount received by the Agent might
involve the Agent in liability, or might be prohibited hereby, or might be
questioned by any Person, then the Agent may refrain from making distribution
until the Agent’s right to make distribution has  been adjudicated by a court of competent
jurisdiction.

 

(d)           The proceeds of any
Lender’s exercise of any right of, or in the nature of, set-off shall be
deemed, First, to the extent that such Lender is
entitled to any distribution hereunder, to constitute such distribution and Second, shall be shared with the other Lenders as if
distributed pursuant to (and shall be deemed as distributions under) Section
13.7.

 

(e)           Each Lender
recognizes that the crediting of the Borrowers with the “proceeds” of any
transaction in which a Post Foreclosure Asset is acquired is a non-cash transaction
and that, in consequence, no distribution of such “proceeds” will be made by
the Agent to any Lender.

 

(f)            In the event that
(x) a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received
and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid or disgorged or (y) the
SuperMajority Lenders determine to effect such repayment or disgorgement, then
each Lender to which any such distribution shall have been made shall repay, to
the Agent which had made such distribution, that Lender’s pro-rata share of the
amount so adjudged or determined to be repaid or disgorged.

 

14.4.       DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Any dispute among the Lenders and/or the
Agent concerning the interpretation, administration, or enforcement of the
financing arrangements contemplated by this or any other Loan Document or the
interpretation or administration of this or any other Loan Document which
cannot be resolved amicably shall be resolved in the United States District
Court for the District of Massachusetts, sitting in Boston or in the  Superior Court of Suffolk County,
Massachusetts, to the jurisdiction of which courts each Lender  hereto hereby submits.

 

14.5.       DISTRIBUTIONS OF NOTICES AND OF DOCUMENTS. The Agent will forward to each Lender,
promptly after the Agent’s receipt thereof, a copy of each notice or other
document furnished to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement, including monthly,
quarterly, and annual

 

110

 

financial
statements and borrowing base certificates received from the Borrowers pursuant

issuance of L/Cs.

 

(b)           Routine or
nonmaterial communications.

document required by any of the Loan Documents to be furnished to the Lenders
by the Borrowers.

 

(d)           Any notice or
document of which the Agent has knowledge that such notice or document had been
forwarded to the Lenders other than by the Agent.

 

14.6.       CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

 

(a)           Each Lender will
maintain, as confidential, all of the following:

 

(i)            Proprietary approaches, techniques,
and methods of analysis which are applied by the Agent in the administration of
the credit facility  contemplated by this
Agreement.

 

(ii)           Proprietary forms and formats
utilized by the Agent in providing reports to the Lenders pursuant hereto,
which forms or formats are not of general currency.

 

(b)           Nothing included

to be provided by judicial process or which may be required or requested by
regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over any party to this Agreement.

 

14.7.       RELIANCE BY AGENT. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon,
and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any certificate, notice or
other document (including any cable, telegram, telex, or facsimile) reasonably
believed by the Agent to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent
by or on behalf of the proper person or persons. The Agent also may rely upon
any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been
made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making
of a Loan, or the issuance of a L/C, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Revolving Credit Lender, a Term Loan Lender or the Issuer,
the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Revolving
Credit Lender, Term Loan Lender or the Issuer unless the Agent shall have
received notice to the contrary from such Revolving Credit Lender, Term Loan
Lender or the Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such
L/C. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrower), independent accountants, and other experts selected by it, and shall
not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the
advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. As to any matters not
expressly provided for in this Agreement, any Loan Document, or in any other
document referred to therein, the Agent shall in all events be fully protected
in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance

 

111

 

with
the applicable Consent required by this Agreement. Instructions given with the
requisite Consent shall be binding on all Lenders.

 

14.8.       NON-RELIANCE ON AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS.

 

(a)           Each Lender
represents to all other Lenders and to the Agent that such Lender:

 

(i)            Independently and without reliance
on any representation or act by Agent or by any other Lender, and based on such
documents and information as that Lender has deemed appropriate, has made such
Lender’s own appraisal of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrowers
and decision to enter into this Agreement.

 

(ii)           Has relied upon that Lender’s review
of the Loan Documents by that Lender and by counsel to that Lender as that
Lender deemed appropriate under the circumstances.

 

(b)           Each Lender agrees
that such Lender, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other
Lender, and based upon such documents and information as such Lender shall deem
appropriate at the time, will continue to make such Lender’s own appraisals of
the financial condition and affairs of the Borrowers when determining whether
to take or not to take any discretionary action under this Agreement.

 

(c)           Except as otherwise
required by the provisions of this Agreement, the Agent, in the discharge of
that Agent’s duties hereunder, shall not be required to make inquiry of, or to
inspect the properties or books of, any Person.

 

(d)           Except for notices,
reports, and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished
to the Lenders by the Agent hereunder (as to which, see
Section 14.5), the Agent shall not have any affirmative duty or responsibility
to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning any
Person, which information may come into the possession of Agent or any
Affiliate of the Agent.

 

(e)           Each Lender, at such
Lender’s request, shall have reasonable access to all nonprivileged documents
in the possession of the Agent, which documents relate to the Agent’s
performance of its duties hereunder.

 

14.9.       INDEMNIFICATION. Without limiting the liabilities of the
Borrowers under Section 19.9(b), or any other Section of this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents, each Lender shall indemnify the Agent, pro-rata,
for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever (including attorneys’ reasonable fees and expenses and other out-of-pocket
expenditures) which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against the Agent and in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or any documents contemplated by or referred to
therein or the transactions contemplated thereby or the enforcement of any of
terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided, however, no Lender shall be
liable for any of the foregoing to the extent that any of the foregoing arises
from any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent as to which a final
judicial

 

112

 

determination
has been or is made (in a proceeding in which the Agent has had an opportunity
to be heard) that the Agent had acted in a grossly negligent manner, in actual
bad faith, or in willful misconduct.

 

14.10.     RESIGNATION OF AGENT.

 

(a)           The Agent may resign
at any time by giving Sixty (60) days prior written notice thereof to the
Revolving Credit Lenders, the Term Loan Lenders, the Issuer, and the Borrowers.
Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the SuperMajority Lenders shall
have the right to appoint a successor to such Agent (and if no Event of Default
has occurred, with the consent of the Borrowers, not to be unreasonably
withheld and, in any event, deemed given by the Borrowers if no written
objection is provided by the Borrowers to the (resigning) Agent within Seven
(7) Business Days notice of such proposed appointment), which shall be a
Revolving Credit Lender, Term Loan Lender or a bank with an office in the
United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United
States. If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed and accepted such
appointment within Thirty (30) days after the giving of notice by the resigning
Agent, then the resigning Agent may appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a
Revolving Credit Lender, Term Loan Lender or a financial institution having a
rating of not less than “A” or its equivalent if rated by Standard & Poor’s
Ratings Group, provided that if the Agent shall
notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted
such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in
accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral
security held by the Agent on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders, the Term
Loan Lenders or the Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent
shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor
Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and
determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be
made by or to each Revolving Credit Lender, Term Loan Lender and the Issuer
directly, until such time as the SuperMajority Lenders appoint a successor
Agent as provided for above in this Section 14.10(a). The consent of the
Borrowers otherwise required by this Section 14.10(a) shall not be required if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

(b)           Upon the acceptance
of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor
shall thereupon succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers,
privileges, and duties of the (resigning) Agent so replaced, and the (resigning)
Agent shall be discharged from the (resigning) Agent’s duties and obligations
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged
therefrom as provided in this Section 14.10), other than on account of any
responsibility for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the (resigning)
Agent as to which a final judicial determination has been or is made (in a
proceeding in which the (resigning) Person has had an opportunity to be heard)
that such Person had acted in a grossly negligent manner or in bad faith.

 

(c)           The fees payable by
the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor.

 

113

 

(d)           After any retiring
Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Article 14 and Section 19.8 shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and
their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.

 

(e)           Any resignation by Bank of America as Agent pursuant to
this Section 14.10 shall also constitute its resignation as Issuer and
SwingLine Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent
hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of
the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuer and SwingLine
Lender, (b) the retiring Issuer and SwingLine Lender shall be discharged from
all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents, and (c) the successor Issuer shall issue letters of credit in
substitution for the L/Cs, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession
or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuer to effectively
assume the obligations of the retiring Issuer with respect to such L/Cs.

 

14.11.     DELEGATION OF DUTIES. The Agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan
Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The
Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise
its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The
exculpatory provisions of this Article 14 shall apply to any such sub-agent and
to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to
their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

 

14.12.     AGENT MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.

 

(a)           In case of the
pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Agent (irrespective of whether the
principal of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or Unpaid Reimbursement
Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration
or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand
on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise:

 

(i)            to file and prove a claim for the
whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the
Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, and all other Liabilities that are owing and
unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in
order to have the claims of the Revolving Credit Lenders, the Term Loan
Lenders, the Issuer and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Revolving Credit
Lenders, the Term Loan Lenders, the Issuer, and the Agent and their respective
agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Revolving Credit Lenders, the
Term Loan Lenders, the Issuer, and the Agent under this Agreement) allowed in
such judicial proceeding; and

 

(ii)           to collect and receive any monies or
other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the
same.

 

114

 

(b)           Any custodian,
receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Revolving Credit
Lender, Term Loan Lender and the Issuer to make such payments to the Agent and,
in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Revolving Credit Lenders, the Term Loan Lenders and the Issuer,
to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Agent under this Agreement.

 

(c)           Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to authorize the Agent to authorize or consent to or
accept or adopt on behalf of any Revolving Credit Lender, Term Loan Lender or
the Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Liabilities or the rights of any Revolving Credit Lender or any
Term Loan Lender, or to authorize the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of
any Revolving Credit Lender in any such proceeding.

 

14.13.     COLLATERAL MATTERS.

 

The Revolving
Credit Lenders, the Term Loan Lenders and the Issuer irrevocably authorize the
Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

 

(a)           to release any Lien
on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document (i)
upon termination of the Loan Commitments and payment in full, in cash, of all
Liabilities (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the
expiration or termination of all L/Cs, (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part
of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan
Document, or (iii) subject to Section 19.5, if approved, authorized or ratified
in writing by the SuperMajority Lenders;

 

(b)           to subordinate any
Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document to
the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section
5.6(a)(ii); and

 

(c)           to release any
Subsidiary that is a Borrower from its obligations hereunder if such Person
ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

 

Upon request
by the Agent at any time, the SuperMajority Lenders shall confirm in writing
the Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular
types or items of property, or to release any Subsidiary that is a Borrower
from its obligations hereunder pursuant to this Section 14.13.

(a)           The Revolving Credit
Lenders agree that any loan or advance under the Revolving Credit which results

(b)           If the Borrowers are
then In Default, the SuperMajority Lenders may direct the Agent to suspend the

the honoring of L/Cs.

consent of the SuperMajority Lenders shall also be required in connection with
(i) any amendment to shorten the amortization schedule for Term Loan B, (ii)

 

117

 

any
amendment to Sections 3.3(b)(i)(B) or 3.3(b)(i)(C)(II) or (iii) any amendment
to Section 3.3(b)(ii) which would have the effect of permitting any payment
otherwise restricted thereby.

of the Term Loan B Lenders shall be required to (i) amend, modify or waive any
provision of the Pratt Guaranty or the Holiday Guaranty; or (ii) release any

assignments and participations)).

 

(b)           Any decrease in any
interest rate or fee payable to the Lenders on account of the Loans.

 

(c)           Any extension of any
Maturity Date.

 

(d)           Any forgiveness of
all or any portion of any payment Liability, provided,
however, that the Agent shall be
permitted to forgive fees owed to it and not to any other Lender without any
consent being required.

 

(e)           Any decrease in any
interest rate or fee payable under any of the Loan Documents (other than any
Agent’s Fee (for which the consent of the Agent shall also be required)).

 

(f)            Any release of a
material portion of the Collateral not otherwise required or provided for in
the Loan Documents or to facilitate a Liquidation.

 

(g)           Any amendment of the
definition of the terms “Borrowing Base” or “Availability” or of any definition

adjustment by the Agent of any Reserve in the Agent’s administration of the
Revolving Credit as otherwise permitted by this Agreement.

Agent, in its administration of the Revolving Credit, from restoring any
component of Borrowing Base which had been

 

118

 

 

lowered
by the Agent back to the value of such component, as stated in this Agreement
or to an intermediate value.

 

(h)           Any release of any Person obligated on
account of the Liabilities.

 

(i)            The making of any Revolving Credit Loan
which, when made, exceeds Availability and is not a Protective OverAdvance, provided, however,

 

(i)            no Consent shall be required in connection
with the making of any Revolving Credit Loan to “cover” any honoring of a
drawing under any L/C; and

 

(ii)           each Revolving Credit Lender recognizes that subsequent to the making
of a Revolving Credit Loan which does not constitute a Protective OverAdvance,
the unpaid principal balance of the Loan Account may exceed the Borrowing Base
on account of changed circumstances beyond the control of the Agent (such as a
drop in collateral value).

 

(j)            The waiver of the obligation of the Borrowers
to reduce the unpaid principal balance of loans under the Revolving Credit to
an amount so that no OverAdvance (other than a Protective OverAdvance) is outstanding
or, subject to the time limits included in Section 15.3(a) (which places time
and frequency limits on Protective OverAdvance), to eliminate a Protective
OverAdvance.

 

(k)           The incurrence of any additional Indebtedness
of the Borrowers which is secured by an Encumbrance not otherwise permitted by
Section 5.6 hereof.

 

(l)            Any amendment to clauses (a), (d) or (h) of
Section 5.20.

 

(m)          Any amendment of this Article 15 or Section
13.7.

 

(n)           Amendment of any of the following

enforcement against or with respect to the Borrowers.

taking or continuing to take any such action, unless such action had been
grossly negligent, in willful misconduct, or in bad faith.

 

(c)           The Agent may establish reasonable procedures
for the providing of direction and instructions from the Lenders to the Agent,
including its reliance on multiple counterparts, facsimile transmissions, and
reasonable time limits within which such direction and instructions must be
received in order to be included in a determination of whether the requisite

15.10.     NONCONSENTING
LENDER.

 

(a)           In the event that a Lender (in this Section
15.10, a “NonConsenting Lender”) does not provide
its Consent to a proposal by the Agent to take action which requires consent
under this Article 15, then one or more Lenders who provided Consent to such
action may require the assignment, without recourse and in accordance with the
procedures outlined in Section 16.1, below, of the NonConsenting Lender’s
commitment hereunder on Fifteen (15) days written notice to the Agent and to
the NonConsenting Lender.

 

(b)           At the end of such Fifteen (15) days, and provided
that the NonConsenting Lender delivers the Notes held by the
NonConsenting Lender to the Agent, the Lenders who have given such written
notice shall Transfer the following to the NonConsenting Lender:

 

(i)            Such NonConsenting Lender’s pro-rata share of
the principal and interest of the Loans to the date of such assignment.

 

(ii)           All fees distributable hereunder to the NonConsenting Lender to the
date of such assignment.

 

(iii)          Any out-of-pocket costs and expenses for which the NonConsenting Lender
is entitled to reimbursement from the Borrowers.

 

(c)           In the event that the NonConsenting Lender
fails to deliver to the Agent the Notes held by the NonConsenting Lender as
provided in Section 15.10(b), then:

 

(i)            The amount otherwise to be Transferred to the
NonConsenting Lender shall be Transferred to the Agent and held by the Agent,
without interest, to be turned over to the NonConsenting Lender upon delivery
of the Note held by that NonConsenting Lender.

 

(ii)           The Note held by the NonConsenting Lender shall have no force or effect
whatsoever.

 

(iii)          The NonConsenting Lender shall cease to be a “Lender”.

 

(iv)          The Lender(s) which have Transferred the amount to the Agent as
described above shall have succeeded to all rights and become subject to all of
the obligations of the NonConsenting Lender as “Lender”.

 

(d)           In the event that more than One (1) Lender
wishes to require such assignment, the NonConsenting Lender’s commitment
hereunder shall be divided among such Lenders, pro-rata based upon their respective
Revolving Credit Percentage Commitments and Term Loan Percentages, with the
Agent coordinating such transaction.

 

(e)           The Agent shall coordinate the retirement of
the Note held by the NonConsenting Lender and the issuance of Notes to those
Lenders which “take-out” such NonConsenting

 

121

 

Lender,
provided, however, no processing fee
otherwise to be paid as provided in Section 16.2(b) shall be due under such
circumstances.

 

ARTICLE XVI.     SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

 

16.1.       ASSIGNMENTS
AND ASSUMPTIONS.

 

(a)           The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrowers
may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Lender, and
no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder except (i) to one or more Eligible Assignees (in this Section
16.1(a), each an “Assignee Lender”)
in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section, (ii) by
way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 16.3, (iii)
by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the
restrictions of Section 16.5, or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the
provisions of Section 16.7.

 

(b)           Nothing in this Agreement, express or
implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the Parties
hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants
to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent
expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent, the
Issuer, and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or
by reason of this Agreement.

 

(c)           Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any
time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Revolving Credit Dollar Commitment and the Loans made by it (including for
purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in
SwingLine Loans at the time owing to it); provided
that

 

(i)            The Agent and, in the case of assignments of
Revolving Credit Dollar Commitments, the Issuer and the SwingLine Lender, shall
have given its prior written consent to such assignment, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, but need not be given if the proposed assignee is
itself a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (whether or not the proposed
assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee).

 

(ii)           Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
proportionate part of all the Assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Revolving Credit Dollar
Commitment assigned, as the case may be, except that this clause (ii) shall not
apply to rights in respect of SwingLine Loans.

 

(iii)          Except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of
the Assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Dollar Commitment and the Loans at the
time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of
a Lender or an Approved Fund, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit
Dollar Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding
thereunder) or, if the Revolving

 

122

 

Credit
Dollar Commitment of such Lender is not then in effect, the principal outstanding
balance of the Revolving Credit Loans and/or the Term Loan of the assigning
Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the
Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of
the Trade Date, shall be at least $5,000,000 unless each of the Agent and, so
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers
otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed); provided, however, that
concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent
assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or
to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a
single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has
been met.

 

(iv)          The parties to such an assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Agent, for recording in the Register, an Assignment and Assumption substantially
in the form of EXHIBIT D, annexed hereto, or
any other form approved by the Agent (an  “Assignment and Assumption”) together with a processing and
recordation fee in the amount set forth in SCHEDULE 16.1, and the Eligible Assignee, if it
shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire.

 

(d)           The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as
an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Agent’s office a copy of each
Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register or similar list (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of
the Lenders and of the Revolving Credit Percentage Commitment and Maximum
Revolving Credit Dollar Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender, and
principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender. The
Register shall be available for inspection by each of the Borrowers, the Issuer
and each Lender (with respect only to such Lender’s interest) at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive and binding on all Lenders. The Borrowers, the
Agent, and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a “Lender” hereunder for all purposes
of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

 

16.2.       EFFECT OF
ASSIGNMENT.

 

(a)           Subject to acceptance and recording thereof
by the Agent pursuant to Section 16.1, from and after the effective date
specified in an Assignment and Assumption which has been executed, delivered,
and recorded:

 

(i)            The Assignee Lender shall be a party to this
Agreement and the Loan Documents (and to any amendments thereof) and, to the
extent of the interest assigned by the Assignment and Assumption, have the
rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

 

(ii)           The Assigning Lender shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the
assigning Lender’s

 

123

 

rights
and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party
hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 19.8 and
19.9 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective
date of such assignment.

 

(b)           By executing and delivering an Assignment and
Assumption, the parties thereto confirm to and agree with each other and with
all parties to this Agreement as to those matters which are set forth in the
subject Assignment and Assumption.

 

16.3.       PARTICIPATIONS. Any Lender may, at any time, without the
consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Agent, sell participations to
one or more Persons (other than a natural person or the Borrowers or any of the
Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of that Lender’s rights
and/or obligations herein (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit
Dollar Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in
L/C Obligations and/or SwingLine Loans) owing to it); provided that such Lender’s obligations
under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations, and the Borrowers, the Agent, the Lenders, and the Issuer shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

 

Any agreement
or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall
provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement
and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other
modification described in Section 15.5(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) that affects
such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled
to the benefits of Section 19.8 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and
had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 16.1. To the extent
permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 19.17 as though it were a Lender, provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.22 as though it were a
Lender.

 

16.4.       LIMITATIONS
UPON PARTICIPANT RIGHTS.

 

A Participant
shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment hereunder than the
applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to
such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent. A
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be
entitled to the benefits of Section 19.8 unless the Borrowers are notified of
the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the
benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 19.8 as though it were a
Lender.

 

16.5.       CERTAIN
PLEDGES.

 

Any Lender may
at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its
rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure
obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided
that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any
of its obligations hereunder or substitute any pledgee or assignee for such
Lender as a party hereto.

 

124

 

16.6.       ELECTRONIC
EXECUTION OF ASSIGNMENTS.

 

The words “execution,”
“signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and
Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of
records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect,
validity, or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based
recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in
any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signature in Global and
National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronics Signatures and Records
Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transfers
Act.

 

16.7.       SPECIAL
PURPOSE FUNDING VEHICLES.

 

Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified
as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Agent and
the Borrowers (an “SPC”) the
option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would
otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall
constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Revolving Credit Loan, and (ii)
if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or
any part of such Revolving Credit Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated
to make such Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails
to do so, to make such payment to the Agent as is required under Section 2.23. Each
party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the
exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or
otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrowers under this
Agreement, (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment
obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii)
the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any
amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document,
remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Revolving Credit Loan by
an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Revolving Credit Dollar Commitment of the
Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Revolving Credit Loan were
made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party
hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this
Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the
payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any
SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting
against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or
liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with
notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrowers and the Agent, and with
the payment of a processing fee in the amount of $2,500, assign all or any
portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting
Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information
relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer
or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to
such SPC.

 

125

 

16.8.       RESIGNATION AFTER ASSIGNMENT.

 

Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America
assigns all of its Revolving Credit Dollar Commitment and Loans pursuant to
Section 16.1 above, Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the
Borrowers and the Lenders, resign as Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to
the Borrowers, resign as SwingLine Lender. In the event of any such resignation
as Issuer or SwingLine Lender, the Borrowers
shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuer
or SwingLine Lender hereunder; provided,
however, that no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such
successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as Issuer or SwingLine
Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as Issuer, it shall
retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Issuer hereunder
with respect to all L/Cs outstanding as of the effective date of its
resignation as Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including
the right to require the Lenders to make Base Margin Loans or fund risk
participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.20. If Bank of
America resigns as SwingLine Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the
SwingLine Lender provided for hereunder with respect to SwingLine Loans made by
it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the
right to require the Lenders to make Base Margin Loans or fund risk participations
in outstanding SwingLine Loans pursuant to Section 2.24. Upon the appointment
of a successor Issuer and or SwingLine Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed
to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of
the retiring Issuer or SwingLine Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the
successor Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters
of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other
arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to assume effectively the
obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

 

16.9.       ACCESSION. Subject to the terms of Section 16.10
herein, the Borrowers may, with the consent of the Agent, request Eligible
Assignees (each such Eligible Assignee, an “Acceding
Lender”) to become party to this Credit Agreement by entering into
an Instrument of Accession in substantially the form of EXHIBIT F  hereto (an “Instrument of Accession”) with the
Borrowers and the Agent and assuming thereunder a Revolving Credit Dollar
Commitment, in an amount to be agreed upon by the Borrowers, such Acceding
Lender and the Agent, to make Revolving Credit Loans and participate in the
risk relating to the Letters of Credit pursuant to the terms hereof, and the Maximum
Revolving Credit Ceiling shall thereupon be increased by the amount of such
Acceding Lender’s Revolving Credit Dollar Commitment; provided, however, that (a) the Agent
shall have given its prior written consent to such accession and (b) in no
event shall the Maximum Revolving Credit Ceiling be increased under any one or
more of such Instruments of Accession so as to exceed, in the aggregate,
$400,000,000. On the effective date specified in any Instrument of Accession, SCHEDULE 2.22 hereto
shall be deemed to be amended to reflect (a) the name, address, Revolving
Credit Dollar Commitment and Revolving Credit Percentage Commitment of such
Acceding Lender, (b) the Maximum Revolving Credit Ceiling as increased by such
Acceding Lender’s Revolving Credit Dollar Commitment, and (c) the changes to
the other Lenders’ respective Revolving Credit Percentage Commitments and any
changes to the other Lenders’ respective Revolving Credit Dollar Commitments
(in the event such Lender is also the Acceding Lender) resulting from such
assumption and such increased Maximum Revolving Credit Ceiling.

 

126

 

If on the
effective date specified in any Instrument of Accession, there are Revolving
Credit Loans then outstanding or exposure in respect of then outstanding L/Cs,
the Acceding Lender shall purchase Revolving Credit Loans and exposure in
respect of outstanding L/Cs from each other Lender in an amount such that,
after such purchase or purchases, the amount of outstanding Revolving Credit
Loans and exposure in respect of outstanding L/Cs from each Lender shall equal
such Lender’s respective Revolving Credit Percentage Commitment, as set forth
on SCHEDULE 2.22
multiplied by the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Loans outstanding and
exposure in respect of outstanding L/Cs from all Lenders. To the extent that
any outstanding Revolving Credit Loans bear interest at the LIBOR Rate, the Borrowers shall pay any additional
costs described in Section 2.10(e) incurred by any Lender.

 

16.10.     OPTIONAL
INCREASE OF MAXIMUM REVOLVING CREDIT CEILING.

 

So long as an Event of Default shall not have occurred
and be continuing or would result therefrom, and subject to all terms and
conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement, the Lead Borrower may request, by
prior written notice to the Agent, that the Maximum Revolving Credit Ceiling be
increased up to $400,000,000; provided, however, that the Maximum Revolving Credit Ceiling shall not
be increased pursuant to this provision so long as any Term Loan B Obligations
remain outstanding. The Lead Borrower may, after initially requesting the
existing Revolving Credit Lenders to increase on a pro rata basis their
respective Revolving Credit Dollar Commitments and after receiving no response
from such Revolving Credit Lenders after a period of five (5) Business Days (in
which case the Lead Borrower may conclusively presume such Revolving Credit
Lenders do not wish to increase their respective Revolving Credit Dollar
Commitments) or after receiving confirmation in writing that such Revolving
Credit Lenders do not wish to increase their respective Revolving Credit Dollar
Commitments (or if the aggregate desired increase in Revolving Credit Dollar
Commitment by the existing Revolving Credit Lenders is not sufficient to
satisfy the increase in the Maximum Revolving Credit Ceiling requested by the
Lead Borrower), solicit Eligible Assignees to become new Revolving Credit
Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 16.9 herein, provided
that (a) each Person that becomes a new Revolving Credit Lender
shall agree to become a party to, and shall assume and agree to be bound by,
this Agreement, subject to all terms and conditions thereof; (b) no Revolving
Credit Lender shall have an obligation to the Borrowers to increase its Revolving
Credit Dollar Commitment; and (c) in no event shall the addition of any
Revolving Credit Lender increase the Maximum Revolving Credit Ceiling to an
amount greater than $400,000,000.

ARTICLE XIX.     GENERAL

 

19.1.       PROTECTION
OF COLLATERAL. The Agent’s
sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation
of the Collateral in its possession, under §9-207 of the UCC or otherwise,
shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as the Agent deals
with similar property for its own account.

 

19.2.       PUBLICITY. Subject to the approval of the Borrowers,
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, the Agent may issue a “tombstone”
notice of the establishment of the credit facility contemplated by this
Agreement and may make reference to the Borrowers (and

 

130

 

may
utilize any logo or other distinctive symbol associated with the Borrower) in
connection with any advertising, promotion, or marketing undertaken by the
Agent.

 

19.3.       SEVERABILITY. Any determination that any provision of
this Agreement or any application thereof is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable
in any respect in any instance shall not affect the validity, legality, or
enforceability of such provision in any other instance, or the validity,
legality, or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

 

19.4.       THE
PLATFORM. THE PLATFORM IS
PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”  THE
AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF
ANY BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM
LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM ANY BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD
PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY
AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO
EVENT SHALL THE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “AGENT PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE
BORROWERS, ANY LENDER, THE ISSUER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR LOSSES, CLAIMS,
DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR EXPENSES OF ANY KIND (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR
OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE BORROWERS’ OR THE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF
BORROWER MATERIALS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSSES,
CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR EXPENSES ARE DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT
JURISDICTION BY A FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE
GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH AGENT PARTY; PROVIDED, THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY AGENT
PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE BORROWERS, ANY LENDER, THE ISSUER OR ANY OTHER
PERSON FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS
OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES).

 

19.5.       AMENDMENTS. COURSE
OF DEALING.

 

(a)           This Agreement and the
other Loan Documents incorporate all discussions and negotiations between the
Borrowers and the Agent and each Lender, either express or implied, concerning
the matters included herein and in such other instruments, any custom, usage,
or course of dealings to the contrary notwithstanding. No such discussions,
negotiations, custom, usage, or course of dealings shall limit, modify, or
otherwise affect the provisions thereof. No failure by the Agent or any Lender
to give notice to the Borrowers of the Borrowers’ having failed to observe and
comply with any warranty or covenant included in any Loan Document shall
constitute a waiver of such warranty or covenant or the amendment of the
subject Loan Document. No change made by the Agent to the manner by which
Borrowing Base is determined shall obligate the Agent to continue to determine
Borrowing Base in that manner.

 

131

 

(b)           The Borrowers may undertake
any action otherwise prohibited hereby, and may omit to take any action
otherwise required hereby, upon and with the express prior written consent of
the Agent given in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Subject to
Article 15, no modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of any Loan
Document and no consent to any departure by the Borrowers or any other Loan
Party therefrom, shall be effective unless executed in writing by or on behalf
of the party to be charged with such modification, amendment, or waiver (and if
such party is the Agent then by a duly authorized officer thereof). Any
modification, amendment, or waiver provided by the Agent shall be in reliance
upon all representations and warranties theretofore made to the Agent by or on
behalf of the Borrowers (and any guarantor, endorser, or surety of the
Liabilities) and consequently may be rescinded in the event that any of such
representations or warranties was not true and complete in all material
respects when given. Any such amendment, waiver or consent as described in this
Section 19.5(b) shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which given.

 

(c)           No amendment, waiver or
consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Issuer in addition to the
Revolving Credit Lenders and the Term Loan Lenders required above, affect the
rights or duties of the Issuer under this Agreement or any Issuer Document
relating to any L/C issued or to be issued by it. No amendment, waiver or
consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the SwingLine Lender in addition
to the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Term Loan Lenders required above,
affect the rights or duties of the SwingLine Lender under this Agreement. No
amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Agent
in addition to the Revolving Credit Lenders and Term Loan Lenders required
above, affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no
Delinquent Revolving Credit Lender shall have any right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Loan
Commitment of such Revolving Credit Lender may not be increased or extended
without the consent of such Revolving Credit Lender.

 

19.6.       POWER OF
ATTORNEY. In connection with
all powers of attorney included in this Agreement, the Borrowers hereby grant
unto the Agent (acting through any of its officers) full power to do any and
all things necessary or appropriate in connection with the exercise of such
powers as fully and effectually as the Borrowers might or could do, hereby
ratifying all that said attorney shall do or cause to be done by virtue of this
Agreement. No power of attorney set forth in this Agreement shall be affected
by any disability or incapacity suffered by the Borrowers and each shall
survive the same. All powers conferred upon the Agent by this Agreement, being
coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated
by a written instrument executed by a duly authorized officer of the Agent.

 

19.7.       APPLICATION
OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds of
any collection, sale, or disposition of the Collateral, or of any other
payments received hereunder, shall be applied towards the Liabilities in such
order and manner as the Agent determines in its sole discretion, consistent,
however, with Sections 13.6 and 13.7 and any other applicable provisions of
this Agreement. The Borrowers shall remain liable for any deficiency remaining
following such application.

 

132

 

19.8.       INCREASED
COSTS. If, as a result of
any change arising after the Restatement Effective Date in any Requirement of
Law, or of the interpretation or application thereof by any court or by any
governmental or other authority or entity charged with the administration
thereof, whether or not having the force of law, which:

 

(a)           subjects any Lender to any taxes or changes
the basis of taxation, or increases any existing taxes, on payments of
principal, interest or other amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Agent or
any Lender under this Agreement (except for taxes on the Agent or any Lender
based on net income or capital);

 

(b)           imposes, modifies or deems applicable any
reserve, cash margin, special deposit or similar requirements against assets
held by, or deposits in or for the account of or loans by or any other
acquisition of funds by the relevant funding office of any Lender;

 

(c)           imposes on any Lender any other condition
with respect to any Loan Document; or

 

(d)           imposes on any Lender a requirement to
maintain or allocate capital in relation to the Liabilities;

 

and the result
of any of the foregoing, in such Lender’s reasonable opinion, is to increase
the cost to that Lender of making or maintaining any loan, advance or financial
accommodation or to reduce the income receivable by that Lender in respect of
any loan, advance or financial accommodation by an amount which that Lender
deems to be material, then upon written notice from the Agent, from time to
time, to the Borrowers (such notice to set out in reasonable detail the facts
giving rise to and a summary calculation of such increased cost or reduced
income), the Borrowers shall forthwith pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the
subject Lender, upon receipt of such notice, that amount which shall compensate
the subject Lender for such additional cost or reduction in income.

 

19.9.       EXPENSES; INDEMNITY; DAMAGE
WAIVER.

 

(a)           Costs and Expenses.  The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable

Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications,
waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of any L/C or any demand for payment
thereunder, and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent or any

Agent or any Lender), and shall pay all fees and time charges for attorneys who
may be employees of the Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement
or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 19.9, or (B) in
connection with the Loans made or L/Cs issued

 

133

 

hereunder,
including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout,
restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or L/Cs.

 

(b)           Indemnification by
the Borrowers.  The
Borrowers shall indemnify the Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and each
Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such
Person, an “Indemnified Person”)
against, and hold each Indemnified Person harmless from, any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, and related expenses (including the fees,
charges, and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnified Person), and
shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from all fees and
time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any
Indemnified Person, incurred by any Indemnified Person or asserted against any
Indemnified Person by any third party or by the Borrowers or any other Loan
Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution
or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties
hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the
case of the Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the
administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any
Revolving Credit Loan or L/C, all or any portion of the Term Loan, or the use
or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Agent
to honor a demand for payment under a L/C if the documents presented in
connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such L/C),
(iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Substances on or
from any property owned or operated by the Borrowers or any of their
Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the
Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, or (iv) 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 the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, and regardless of
whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto, in all cases, whether or not
caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory
or sole negligence of the Indemnified Person; provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Person, be
available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by
final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or (y) result from a claim brought
by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party against an Indemnified Person for
breach in bad faith of such Indemnified Person’s obligations hereunder or under
any other Loan Document, if the Borrowers or such Loan Party has obtained a
final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(c)           Waiver of
Consequential Damages, Etc. To
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers shall not assert,
and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person, on any theory of
liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed
to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result
of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan
or L/C or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnified Person referred to in
subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended
recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission

 

134

 

systems
in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such
reproduction was made in the regular course of business). Any facsimile which
bears proof of transmission shall be binding on the party which or on whose
behalf such transmission was initiated and likewise shall be so admissible in
evidence as if the original of such facsimile had been delivered to the party

Information, provided that
nothing herein shall limit the disclosure of any such Information (a) after

with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of
care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would

Agent, the Lenders and the Issuer acknowledges that (a) the Information may
include material non-public information concerning the Borrowers or a
Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures

by the Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the
Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Event of Default at
the time of any issuance, extension or renewal of any L/Cs, and shall continue

obligations of the Borrowers to the Agent and such Lender or any Participant or

AND EACH LENDER LIKEWISE WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A JURY IN ANY TRIAL OF ANY SUCH
CASE OR CONTROVERSY).

 

(iv)          The benefits or availability of any stay, limitation, hindrance, delay,
or restriction (including, without limitation, any automatic stay which
otherwise might be imposed pursuant to Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code) with
respect to any action which the Agent may or may become entitled to take
hereunder.

 

(v)           Any defense, counterclaim, set-off, recoupment, or other basis on which
the amount of any Liability, as stated on the books and records of the Agent,
could be reduced or claimed to be paid otherwise than in accordance with the
tenor of and written terms of such Liability.

 

(vi)          Any claim to consequential, special, or punitive damages.

 

(c)           For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent and the
Lenders hereby waive any Default or Event of Default arising pursuant to Section
6.11(a) of the Existing Loan Agreement for the Reference Period (as defined
in the Existing Loan Agreement) ending on November 3, 2007.

 

19.20.     US
PATRIOT ACT NOTICE.

 

Each Lender
that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Agent (for itself
and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to
the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed
into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain,
verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information
includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will
allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrowers in
accordance with the Patriot Act.

 

19.21.     TRANSITIONAL
ARRANGEMENTS.

 

(a)          Existing Loan Agreement Superseded. On the
Restatement Effective Date, this Agreement shall supersede the Existing Loan
Agreement in its entirety, except as provided in this Section 19.21. On the
Restatement Effective Date, the rights and obligations of the parties evidenced
by the Existing Loan Agreement shall be evidenced by this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, the Existing Loans shall be continued as Revolving Credit
Loans and Term

 

140

 

Loan A as defined herein, respectively, and
the Existing Letters of Credit issued by the Agent for the account of the
Borrowers prior to the Restatement Effective Date shall be treated as L/Cs
under this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that the changes to the terms
and conditions of the Existing Loan Agreement set out herein and the execution
of these presents shall not constitute novation and all the security interests,
pledges and other collateral of whatever nature securing any of the Liabilities
shall continue to apply to the Existing Loan Agreement, as amended and restated
by these presents, and to the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing and to the extent necessary, the Lenders and the
Agent reserve all of their rights under each of the Loan Documents.

 

(b)          Interest and Fees under Superseded Existing
Loan Agreement. All interest and fees and expenses, if any, owing or accruing
under or in respect of the Existing Loan Agreement through the Restatement
Effective Date shall be calculated as of the Restatement Effective Date (pro
rated in the case of any fractional periods). Commencing on the Restatement
Effective Date, the fees hereunder shall be payable by the Borrowers to the
Agent in accordance with Article 2.

 

19.22.     LEAD
BORROWER.

 

Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints
Gander as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all Borrowers (the “Lead Borrower”) which appointment shall remain in full force
and effect unless and until the Agent shall have received prior written notice
signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another
Borrower has been appointed Lead Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably
appoints and authorizes the Lead Borrower (i) to provide the Agent with
all notices with respect to Loans obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and
all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and (ii) to take
such action as the Lead Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain
Loans and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to
carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling of
the Loan Account and Collateral of the Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more
fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers in
order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of Borrowers in the most
efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that Lenders shall
not incur liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects
to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Loan
Account and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation
of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the
integrated group. To induce the Lenders to do so, and in consideration thereof,
each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each member of
the Lenders and hold each member of the Lenders harmless against any and all
liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against the Lenders
by any Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by
reason of (a) the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral of the
Borrowers as herein provided, (b) the Lenders’ relying on any instructions
of the Lead Borrower, or (c) any other action taken by the Agent or the Lenders
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents in reliance upon any notice or
instruction given by the Lead Borrower, except that Borrowers will have no
liability to the Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates,
officers, directors, employees, attorneys, and agents under this Section 19.22
with respect to any liability that has been finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted

 

141

 

solely from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF INVESTORS

 

Each
Investor represents and warrants to the Company, severally and solely with
respect to itself and its purchase hereunder and not with respect to any other
Investor, that:

 

2.1           Organization and Qualification.
To the extent the Investor is an entity, the Investor is duly incorporated or
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of
organization, with full power and authority (corporate and other) to own,
lease, use and operate its properties, if any, and to carry on its business as
and where now owned, leased, used, operated and conducted. To the extent the
Investor is an entity, the Investor is duly qualified to do business and is in
good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business
conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to
be so qualified or in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

2.2           Authorization; Enforcement. To
the extent the Investor is an entity, (a) the Investor has all requisite
power and authority to enter into and to perform its obligations under this
Agreement, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and
to purchase the Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof; (b) the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Investor and the
consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly
authorized by all required parties and no further consent or authorization of
Investor, its board of directors, shareholders, trustees or members is
required; (c) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the
Investor; and (d) assuming the valid and binding execution of this Agreement by
the Company and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by the Company,
this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Investor enforceable against the Investor by the Company in accordance with
their respective terms, except as may be limited by any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of
creditors generally and the application of general principles of equity. To the
extent the Investor is a natural person, this Agreement has been duly and
validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Investor and is a
valid and binding agreement of the Investor, enforceable in accordance with its
terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors
generally and the application of general principles of equity.

 

2.3           Investment Purpose. The
Investor is purchasing the Common Stock for its own account and not with a
present view toward the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to
sales registered or exempted from registration under the Securities Act.

 

2.4           Accredited Investor Status. The
Investor is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.

 

2.5           Reliance on Exemptions. The
Investor understands that the Common Stock is being offered and sold to it in
reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United
States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon
the truth and accuracy of, and the Investor’s compliance with, the
representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of
the Investor set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such
exemptions and the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Common Stock.

 

2.6           Information and Sophistication.
The Investor and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials
relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company, and materials
relating to the offer and sale of the Common Stock, that have been requested by
the Investor or its advisors, if any. The Investor and its advisors, if any,
have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. The
Investor acknowledges and understands that its investment in the Common Stock
involves a significant degree of risk, including the risks reflected in the SEC
Documents. 

 

2

 

The
Investor is experienced and knowledgeable in financial and business matters, is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investing in the Common Stock,
and does not need or desire the assistance of a knowledgeable representative to
aid in the evaluation of such risks who the Investor intends to use in
connection with a decision as to whether to purchase the Common Stock.

 

2.7           Governmental Review. The
Investor understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other
government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or
endorsement of the Common Stock or an investment therein.

Investor understands that:

 

(a)           except as provided in ARTICLE XI, the Shares have not been and
are not being registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state
securities laws and, consequently, the Investor may have to bear the risk of
owning the Shares for an indefinite period of time because the Shares may not
be transferred unless (i) the resale of the Shares is registered pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (ii) the
Investor has delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Company (in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in
comparable transactions) to the effect that the Shares to be sold or
transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such
registration; or (iii) the Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144;

 

(b)           any sale of the Shares made in
reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144
and, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Shares under
circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made)
may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities
Act) may require compliance with another exemption under the Securities Act or
the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and

 

(c)           except as set forth in ARTICLE XI, neither the Company nor any
other person is under any obligation to register the Shares under the
Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and
conditions of any exemption thereunder.

 

2.9           Legends. The Investor
understands that until (a) the Shares may be sold by the Investor under Rule
144(k) or (b) such time as the resale of the Shares has been registered under
the Securities Act as contemplated by ARTICLE
XI, the certificates representing the Shares will bear a restrictive
legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be
placed against transfer of the certificates for such Shares):

 

THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED
STATES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “ACTS”). THE
SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, DISTRIBUTED, OFFERED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED, ASSIGNED
OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF THE FOLLOWING: (1) AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACTS COVERING THE
TRANSACTION, (2) THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE
ACTS, OR (3) THE COMPANY OTHERWISE SATISFIES ITSELF THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED UNDER THE ACTS.

 

The legend set forth above will be removed and the Company will issue a
certificate without the legend to the holder of any certificate upon which it
is stamped, in accordance with the terms of ARTICLE V.

resident of the jurisdiction set forth immediately below such Investor’s name
on the signature pages hereto.

Control. The Investor has no present intent to change or influence the
control of the Company within the meaning of Rule 13d-1 of the Exchange Act.

 

2.12         No Broker Fees. The Investor has
not engaged any brokers, finders, or agents, and the Investor has not incurred,
and neither the Investor nor the Company will incur, directly or indirectly, as
a result of any action taken by the Investor, any liability for brokerage or

Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is
sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred or suffered by an
Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any
breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company herein or in any
other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby,
(b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company
contained herein or in any other certificate, instrument or document
contemplated hereby or thereby, (c) any cause of action, suit or claim
brought or made against such Indemnitee and arising out of or resulting from
the execution, delivery, performance, breach or enforcement of this Agreement
by the Company or (d) the status of such Investor or holder of the Shares
as an investor in the Company to the extent such status arises from actions or
inaction by the Company in violation of law. To the extent that the foregoing
undertaking by the Company is unenforceable for any reason, the Company will
make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the
Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable law.

 

8.2           Indemnification by Investors. Each
Investor, severally and not jointly, will defend, protect, indemnify and hold
harmless the Company all of its shareholders, officers, directors, employees
and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing person’s agents or
other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively,
the “Company Indemnitees”) from and against
any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties,
fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (regardless
of whether any such Company Indemnitee is a party to the action for which
indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and disbursements (the “Indemnified Company
Liabilities”) incurred by a Company Indemnitee solely as a result
of, or arising solely out of, or relating solely to (a) any breach of any
representation or warranty made by such Investor herein or in any other
certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any
breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Investor contained
herein or in any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby
or thereby, or (c) the failure of an Investor to comply with 

 

8

 

the requirements of the Securities Act or any state securities laws,
which failure is not caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the
Company.

address.

 

10.9         Successors and Assigns. This
Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties and their
successors and assigns. The Company will not assign this Agreement or any
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Investors, and no Investor may assign this Agreement or any rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company. This
provision does not limit the Investor’s right to transfer the Shares pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement or to assign the Investor’s rights hereunder to
any such transferee pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

10.10       Third Party Beneficiaries. This
Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor
may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person.

 

10.11       Survival. All representations and
warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, any investigation at any time made by the Investors or on their
behalf, and the sale and purchase of the Common Stock and payment therefor. All
statements contained in any certificate, instrument or other writing delivered
by or on behalf of the Company pursuant hereto or in connection with or
contemplation of the transactions herein contemplated shall constitute
representations and warranties by the Company hereunder.

 

10.12       Publicity. The Company and each
Investor have the right to review, a reasonable period of time before issuance
thereof, any press releases, or relevant portions of any SEC or Nasdaq filings
or any other public statements, with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby. However, the 

 

11

 

Company may make any press release or SEC or Nasdaq filings with
respect to such transactions as are required by applicable law and regulations
(including NASD requirements) without the prior approval of the Investors
(although the Company will make reasonable efforts to consult with the
Investors in connection with any such press release prior to its release and
filing).

 

10.13       Further Assurances. Each party
will do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts
and things, and will execute and deliver all other agreements, certificates,
instruments and documents, as another party may reasonably request in order to
carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

10.14       No Strict Construction. The
language used in this Agreement is deemed to be the language chosen by the
parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction
will be applied against any party.

 

10.15       Equitable Relief. Each party
recognizes that, if it fails to perform or discharge any of its obligations
under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to
the other parties. Each of the parties therefore agrees that the other parties
are entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case
without the necessity of proving actual damages.

 

10.16       Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations
and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under this Agreement are
several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no
Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations
of any other Investor under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, and no
action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the
Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind
of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in
concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. Each Investor shall be entitled to
independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the
rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any
other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose. Each Investor has been represented by its own separate legal counsel
in its review and negotiation of this Agreement. The Company has elected to
provide all Investors with the same terms for the convenience of the Company
and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Investors.

 

10.17       Trusts and Other Entity Investors.
To the extent any holder of Securities is a trust or other entity, the trustee
or officers, directors, employees, partners, members or other control persons
of such trust or entity shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement as it
relates to the Common Stock held by such trust or other entity. Each Investor
agrees that it will cause such persons to execute and deliver to the Company an
acknowledgement of the obligations set forth in this SECTION 10.17 to the extent reasonably requested by the
Company.

 

ARTICLE XI

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

 

11.1         Mandatory Registration. The
Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a Registration Statement
on Form S-3 registering the Registrable Securities for resale within 365  days after the Closing Date. If Form S-3 is not available
at that time, then the Company will use its best efforts to file a Registration
Statement on such form as is then available to effect a registration of the
Registrable Securities within such 365-day period.

 

11.2         Effectiveness of the Registration
Statement.

 

(a)           The Company will use its best efforts
to cause the Registration Statement contemplated by SECTION 11.1 to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as
practicable after filing, and 

 

12

 

in any event no later than the 420th day after the Closing date;
provided, that in the event the SEC performs a full review of the Registration
Statement, the Company will use its best efforts to cause the Registration
Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable after
filing, and in any event no later than the 480th day after the Closing Date
(the “Required Effective Date”). If the SEC
takes the position that registration of the resale of the Registrable
Securities by the Investors is not available under applicable laws, rules and
regulation and that the Company must register the offering of the Registrable
Securities as a primary offering by the Company, the Company will file a
Registration Statement as a primary offering and will use its best efforts to
cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as
practicable after filing.

 

(b)           The Company’s best efforts will
include, but not be limited to, promptly responding to all comments received
from the staff of the SEC.

 

(c)           In the event the Registration
Statement contemplated by SECTION
11.1 is not declared effective by the Required Effective Date, the Company
shall continue to use its best efforts to diligently pursue the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement.

 

(d)           Once the Registration Statement is
declared effective by the SEC, the Company will cause the Registration
Statement to remain effective throughout the Registration Period, except as
permitted under SECTION 11.3.

 

11.3         Continued Effectiveness of Registration
Statement. The Company will keep the Registration Statement covering the
Registrable Securities effective under Rule 415 at all times during the
Registration Period. In the event that the number of shares available under a
Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement is insufficient to
cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company will (if permitted) amend
the Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement, or both, so as
to cover all of the Registrable Securities. The Company will file such
amendment or new Registration Statement as soon as practicable, but in no event
later than 30 business days after the necessity therefor arises (based upon the
market price of the Common Stock and other relevant factors on which the Company
reasonably elects to rely). The Company will use its best efforts to cause such
amendment or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as is
practicable after the filing thereof, but in no event later than 120 days after
the date on which the Company reasonably first determines (or reasonably should
have determined) the need therefor.

 

11.4         Accuracy of Registration Statement.
Any Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and
prospectuses contained therein) filed by the Company covering Registrable
Securities will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading. The Company will promptly prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the
Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the
Registration Statement as may be necessary to permit sales pursuant to the
Registration Statement at all times during the Registration Period, and, during
such period, will comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect  to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the
Company covered by the Registration Statement until the termination of the
Registration Period, or if earlier, until such time as all of such Registrable
Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of
disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in the Registration
Statement.

 

11.5         Furnishing Documentation. The
Company will furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included
in a Registration Statement, (a) promptly after each document is prepared
and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC or received by the Company, one
copy of any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement and any
amendments thereto, each preliminary prospectus and final prospectus and each
amendment or supplement thereto; and (b) a number of copies 

 

13

 

of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus (if any), and all
amendments and supplements thereto, and such other documents as the Investor
may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the
Registrable Securities owned by the Investor. The Company will promptly notify
each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration
Statement of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and any
post-effective amendment.

 

11.6         Additional Obligations. The
Company will use its best efforts to (a) register and qualify the
Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other
securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as each Investor who holds
(or has the right to hold) Registrable Securities being offered reasonably
requests, (b) prepare and file in those jurisdictions any amendments
(including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and
qualifications as may be necessary to maintain their effectiveness during the
Registration Period, (c) take any other actions necessary to maintain such
registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration
Period, and (d) take any other actions reasonably necessary or advisable
to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company is not required, in connection with such
obligations, to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it
would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this SECTION 11.6, (ii) subject itself to general
taxation in any such jurisdiction, (iii) file a general consent to service
of process in any such jurisdiction, (iv) provide any undertakings that
cause material expense or burden to the Company, or (v) make any change in
its charter or bylaws, which in each case the board of directors of the Company
determines to be contrary to the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders.

 

11.7         Underwritten Offerings.

 

(a)           If Investors holding a majority in
interest of the Registrable Securities being registered determine to engage the
services of an underwriter reasonably acceptable to the Company, the Company
and each Investor will enter into and perform their respective obligations
under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, including,
without limitation, customary indemnification and contribution obligations,
with the managing underwriter of such offering, and will take such other
actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the
disposition of the Registrable Securities, unless such Investor has notified
the Company in writing of such Investor’s election to exclude all of its Registrable
Securities from such Registration Statement.

 

(b)           Without limiting any Investor’s
rights under SECTION 11.1, no
Investor may participate in any underwritten distribution hereunder unless such
Investor (a) agrees to sell such Investor’s Registrable Securities on the
basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Investors
entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements, (b) completes and
executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting
agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such
underwriting arrangements, and (c) agrees to pay its pro rata share of all
underwriting discounts and commissions and other fees and expenses of
investment bankers and any manager or managers of such underwriting, and legal
expenses of the underwriter, applicable with respect to its Registrable
Securities, in each case to the extent not payable by the Company under the
terms of this Agreement.

 

11.8                           Suspension of Registration.

 

(a)           The Company will notify each
Investor, which notice (including the fact of such notice and the content
thereof) each Investor agrees to treat in confidence and not to disclose, who
holds Registrable Securities being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement of
the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of
which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement as then in effect
includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The
Company will make such notification as promptly as 

 

14

 

practicable after the Company becomes aware of the event, will promptly
prepare a supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement to correct such
untrue statement or omission, and will deliver a number of copies of such
supplement or amendment to each Investor as such Investor may reasonably
request. The Company will use its best efforts to keep the length of any such
suspension to as short a period as is practicable given the then existing
circumstances and may so defer or suspend the use of the Registration Statement
no more than two  times in any 18-month  period, and provided, further, that, after deferring or
suspending the use of the Registration Statement, the Company may not again
defer or suspend the use of the Registration Statement until a period of thirty  days has elapsed after resumption of the use of the
Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if the use of the Registration Statement is suspended by the Company,
the Company will promptly give notice of the suspension to all Investors whose
securities are covered by the Registration Statement, and will promptly notify
each such Investor as soon as the use of the Registration Statement may be
resumed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company
will cause the Transfer Agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a
transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in
connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which such
Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to receipt of notice of
such suspension and for which such Investor has not yet settled.

 

(b)           Subject to the Company’s rights under
SECTION 1.3, the Company will use
its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension
of effectiveness of a Registration Statement and, if such an order is issued,
will use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the
earliest possible time.

 

11.9         Information. The Company will
make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, but
not later than 90 days after the close of the period covered thereby, an
earnings statement (in a form complying with the provisions of Rule 158
under the Securities Act) covering a 12-month period beginning not later than
the first day of the Company’s fiscal quarter next following the effective date
of the Registration Statement.

 

11.10       Comfort Letter; Legal Opinion. At
the request of the Investors who hold a majority in interest of the Registrable
Securities being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, and on the date
that Registrable Securities are delivered to an underwriter for sale in
connection with the Registration Statement, the Company will furnish to the
Investors and the underwriters  (i) a
letter, dated such date, from the Company’s independent registered public
accounting firm, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent
certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public
offering, addressed to the underwriters; and (ii) an opinion, dated such
date, from counsel representing the Company for purposes of the Registration
Statement, in form and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten
public offering, addressed to the underwriters and Investors.

 

11.11       Due Diligence; Confidentiality.

 

(a)           The Company will make available for
inspection by any Investor whose Registrable Securities are being sold pursuant
to a Registration Statement, any underwriter participating in any disposition
pursuant to the Registration Statement, and any attorney, accountant or other
agent retained by any such Investor or underwriter (at any time, any Investor
or underwriter and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such
Investor or underwriter, collectively, the “Inspectors”),  all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent
corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”),  as each
Inspector reasonably deems reasonably necessary to enable the Inspector to
exercise its due diligence responsibility in connection with or related to the
contemplated offering. The Company will cause its officers, directors and
employees to supply all information that any Inspector may reasonably request
for purposes of performing such due diligence. The Records shall also include
any information provided by the Company or any of its attorneys, accountants or
other agents 

 

15

 

from time to time to any of the Inspectors, regardless of whether such
information is provided in connection with a contemplated offering of
Registrable Securities.

 

(b)           Each Inspector will hold in
confidence, and will not make any disclosure (except to an Investor) of, any
Records or other information that the Company determines in good faith to be
confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless
(i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a
misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (ii) the release
of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court
or government body of competent jurisdiction, (iii) the information in
such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by
disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement (to the knowledge of the
relevant Inspector), (iv) the Records or other information was developed
independently by an Inspector without breach of this Agreement, (v) the
information was known to the Inspector before receipt of such information from
the Company, or (vi) the information was disclosed to the Inspector by a
third party not under an obligation of confidentiality. The Company is not
required to disclose any confidential information in the Records to any
Inspector unless and until such Inspector has entered into a confidentiality
agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the Company) with the Company
with respect thereto, substantially in the form of this SECTION 11.11. Each Investor will, upon learning that
disclosure of Records containing confidential information is sought in or by a
court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means,
give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the Company’s
expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain
a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein will be
deemed to limit the Investor’s ability to sell Registrable Securities in a
manner that is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations.

 

(c)           The Company will hold in confidence,
and will not make any disclosure of, information concerning an Investor
provided to the Company under this Agreement unless (i) disclosure of such
information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, or
any exchange listing or similar rules and regulations, (ii) the disclosure
of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission
in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is
ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or governmental body
of competent jurisdiction, (iv) such information has been made generally
available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement
or any other agreement or (v) such Investor consents to the form and content of
any such disclosure. If the Company learns that disclosure of such information
concerning an Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of
competent jurisdiction or through other means, the Company will give prompt notice
to such Investor prior to making such disclosure and allow such Investor, at
its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to
obtain a protective order for, such information.

 

11.12       Listing. The Company will cause
all of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement to be
listed on each national securities exchange on which securities of the same
class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing
of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such
exchange.

 

11.13       Transfer Agent; Registrar. The
Company will provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single
entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the
Registration Statement.

 

11.14       Share Certificates. The Company
will cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities being sold
and with the managing underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends)
representing Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration
Statement and will enable such certificates to be in such denominations 

 

16

 

or amounts as the case may be, and registered in such names as the
Investors or the managing underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request, all
in accordance with ARTICLE V
of this Agreement.

 

11.15       Plan of Distribution. At the
request of an Investor holding an interest of the Registrable Securities
registered pursuant to a Registration Statement, the Company will promptly
prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective
amendments) and supplements to the Registration Statement, and the prospectus
used in connection with the Registration Statement, as may be necessary in
order to change the plan of distribution set forth in such Registration
Statement.

 

11.16       Securities Laws Compliance. The
Company will comply with all applicable laws related to any Registration Statement
relating to the sale of Registrable Securities and to offering and sale of
securities and with all applicable rules and regulations of governmental
authorities in connection therewith (including, without limitation, the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by
the SEC).

 

11.17       Investor Information. As a
condition to the obligations of the Company to complete any registration
pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of each
Investor, such Investor will furnish to the Company such information regarding
itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of
disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as is reasonably required
by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities. At
least ten business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a
Registration Statement for any registration under this Agreement, the Company
will notify each Investor of the information the Company requires from that
Investor if the Investor elects to have any of its Registrable Securities
included in the Registration Statement. If, within three business days prior to
the filing date, the Company has not received the requested information from an
Investor, then the Company may file the Registration Statement without
including Registrable Securities of that Investor.

 

11.18       Further Assurances. Each Investor
will cooperate with the Company, as reasonably requested by the Company, in
connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement
hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such
Investor’s election to exclude all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities
from the Registration Statement.

 

11.19       Suspension of Sales. Upon receipt
of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind
described in SECTION 11.8,
each Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable
Securities until (i) it receives copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by SECTION 11.8
or (ii) the Company advises the Investor that a suspension of sales under SECTION 9.8 has terminated. If so
directed by the Company, each Investor will deliver to the Company (at the
expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of
destruction) all copies in the Investor’s possession (other than a limited
number of file copies) of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities
that is current at the time of receipt of such notice.

 

11.20       Conflicting Instructions. A person
or entity is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such
person or entity owns of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company
receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more
persons or entities with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the
Company will act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received
from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.

 

11.21       Registration Expenses. The Company
will bear all reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and
commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to SECTION
11.1, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and
qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, the fees and disbursements
of counsel for the Company, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of each
Investor’s legal counsel to review the Registration 

 

17

 

Statement (subject to the aggregate $15,000 limit set forth in SECTION 4.3) and all amendments and
supplements thereto.

 

11.22       Indemnification for Registration. Notwithstanding
ARTICLE VIII of this Agreement, in
the event that any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration
Statement under this Agreement:

 

(a)           To the extent permitted by law, the
Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Investor that holds such
Registrable Securities, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for
the Investors, any directors, officers or advisors of such Investor or such
underwriter and any person who controls such Investor or such underwriter
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”)  against any
losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (joint or several)
(collectively, and together with actions, proceedings or inquiries by any
regulatory or self-regulatory organization, whether commenced or threatened in
respect thereof, “Claims”) to which any of them
become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar
as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements,
omissions or violations in a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this
Agreement, any post-effective amendment thereof or any prospectus included
therein:  (a) any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof or the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (b) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
prospectus (as it may be amended or supplemented) or the omission or alleged
omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements
made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein
were made, not misleading, or (c) any violation or alleged violation by
the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other law, including
without limitation any state securities law or any rule or regulation
thereunder (the matters in the foregoing clauses (a) through (c) being,
collectively, “Violations”). Subject to the
restrictions set forth in SECTION 11.22(c)
with respect to the number of legal counsel, the Company will reimburse the
Investors and each such underwriter or controlling person and each such other
Indemnified Person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and
payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any Claim. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in
this SECTION 11.22(a)
(i) does not apply to Claims arising out of or based upon a Violation that
occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing
to the Company by an Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with
the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or
supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company
pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) does not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any Claim if such settlement is made without the prior written
consent of the Company, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. This
indemnity obligation will remain in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Persons and will survive
the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors under this
Agreement.

 

(b)           In connection with any Registration
Statement in which an Investor is participating, each such Investor will
indemnify and hold harmless, to the same extent and in the same manner set
forth in SECTION 11.22(a),
the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the
Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and any other
shareholder selling securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and any
of its directors and officers and any person who controls such shareholder
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each an “Indemnified  Person”)
against any Claim to which any of them may become subject under the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim arises out of or is based
upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that
such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity 

 

18

 

with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor
expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement. Subject to
the restrictions set forth in SECTION 11.22(c),
such Investor will promptly reimburse the Company and each such other
Indemnified Person, any legal or other expenses (promptly as such expenses are
incurred and due and payable) reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such Claim. However, the indemnity agreement
contained in this SECTION 11.22(b)
does not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is
effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent will
not be unreasonably withheld, and no Investor will be liable under this
Agreement (including this SECTION 11.22(b))
for the amount of any Claim that exceeds the net proceeds actually received by
such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to
such Registration Statement. This indemnity will remain in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified
Party and will survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the
Investors under this Agreement.

 

(c)           Promptly after receipt by an
Indemnified Person under this SECTION
11.22 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental
action), such Indemnified Person will, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be
made against any indemnifying party under this SECTION
11.22, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the
commencement thereof. The indemnifying party may participate in, and, to the
extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly given notice, assume control of the defense thereof with
counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying parties and the Indemnified
Person. In that case, the indemnifying party will diligently pursue such
defense. If, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying
party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts
of interest between the Indemnified Person and any other party represented by
such counsel in such proceeding or the actual or potential defendants in, or
targets of, any such action including the Indemnified Person, and such
Indemnified Person reasonably determines that there may be legal defenses
available to such Indemnified Person that are different from or in addition to
those available to the indemnifying party, then the Indemnified Person is
entitled to assume such defense and may retain its own counsel, with the fees
and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party (subject to the restrictions
on settlement under SECTION
11.22(a) or SECTION 11.22(b),
as applicable). The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party
within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action does not
relieve an indemnifying party of any liability to an Indemnified Person under
this SECTION 11.22, except to the
extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such
action. The indemnification required by this SECTION 11.22
will be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of
the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is
incurred and is due and payable. Each Indemnified Person shall furnish such
information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Person
may reasonably request in writing and shall be reasonably required in
connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

 

11.23       Contribution. To the extent that
any indemnification provided for under SECTION
11.22 is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party will make the
maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise
be liable under SECTION 11.22 to
the fullest extent permitted by law. However, (a) no contribution will be
made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for
indemnification under the fault standards set forth in SECTION 11.22, (b) no seller of Registrable Securities
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from
any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation, and (c) contribution (together with any indemnification
or other obligations under this Agreement) by any seller of Registrable
Securities will be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by
such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

 

19

 

11.24       Assignment of Registration Rights.
The rights of the Investors under this ARTICLE
XI, including the right to have the Company register Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Agreement, will be automatically assigned by the Investors to
transferees or assignees of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities,
but only if (a) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee
to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company
within two business days after such assignment, (b) the Company is, within
two business days after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written
notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the
securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred
or assigned, (c) after such transfer or assignment, the further
disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted
under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, (d) at or
before the time the Company received the written notice contemplated by
clause (b) of this sentence, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing
with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein, (e)
such transfer is made in accordance with the applicable requirements of this
Agreement and (f) the transferee is an “accredited investor”  as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D. Any
transferee or assignee of an Investor under this ARTICLE XI shall be deemed an “Investor” for all purposes of
this Agreement, and shall be entitled to all rights of, and subject to all
obligations (including indemnification obligations) of, an Investor hereunder.
