    The
Applicable Margin shall be determined and adjusted quarterly on the date (each a
“Calculation
Date”) ten (10) Business Days after the date by which the Borrower is
required to provide an Officer’s Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 7.2 for the
most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower; provided, however, that (a) the
Applicable Margin shall be based on the Pricing Level corresponding to the Total
Leverage Ratio as of the Closing Date (after giving proforma effect to the
Transactions) until the first Calculation Date following receipt of the
Officer’s Compliance Certificate for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007
and, thereafter, the Pricing Level shall be determined by reference to the Total
Leverage Ratio as
of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower
preceding the applicable Calculation Date, and (b) if the Borrower fails to
provide the Officer’s Compliance Certificate as required by Section 7.2 for the
most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower preceding the applicable
Calculation Date, the Applicable Margin from such Calculation Date shall be
based on Pricing Level V until such time as an appropriate Officer’s Compliance
Certificate is provided, at which time the Pricing Level shall be determined by
reference to the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recently ended
fiscal quarter of the Borrower preceding such Calculation Date.  The
Applicable Margin shall be effective from one Calculation Date until the next
Calculation Date.  Any adjustment in the Applicable Margin shall be
applicable to all Extensions of Credit then existing or subsequently made or
issued.

Commitments are in effect, or (C) any Extension of Credit is outstanding when
such inaccuracy is discovered or such financial statement or Officer’s
Compliance Certificate was delivered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would
have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an
“Applicable
Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period,
and only in such case, then (1) the Borrower shall immediately deliver to the
Administrative Agent a corrected Officer’s Compliance Certificate for such
Applicable Period, (2) the Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period shall be
determined as if the Total Leverage Ratio in the corrected Officer’s Compliance
Certificate were applicable for such Applicable Period and (3) the Borrower
shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued additional
interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such
Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Administrative
Agent in accordance with Section
4.4.  Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the rights of the
Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect to Sections 4.1(c) and
11.2.

Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its participating interest in
such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to
reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was
outstanding and funded).

Administrative Agent in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent,
the Swingline Loans to be made on such borrowing date.  The Borrower
hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds
of each borrowing requested pursuant to this Section in immediately available
funds by crediting or wiring such proceeds to the deposit account of the
Borrower identified in the most recent notice substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (a
“Notice of Account
Designation”) delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or as
may be otherwise agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent from
time to time.  Subject to Section 4.7 hereof,
the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to disburse the portion of the
proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loan requested pursuant to this Section to the
extent that any Lender has not made available to the Administrative Agent its
Commitment Percentage of such Loan.  Revolving Credit Loans to be made
for the purpose of refunding Swingline Loans shall be made by the Lenders as
provided in Section
2.2(b).

     

    Section

together, in each case, with all accrued but unpaid interest
thereon.

     

    (b)  Mandatory Repayment of
Revolving Credit Loans.  If at any time the outstanding
principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans plus the sum of all
outstanding Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations exceeds the Aggregate
Commitment, the Borrower agrees to repay immediately upon notice from the
Administrative Agent, by payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Lenders, Extensions of Credit in an amount equal to such excess with each
such repayment applied first to the
principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans, second to the
principal amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and third, with respect
to any Letters of Credit then outstanding, a payment of cash collateral into a
cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the Lenders in an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired
amount of such Letters of Credit (such cash collateral to be applied in
accordance with Section
11.2(b)).

     

    (c)  Optional
Prepayments.  The Borrower may at any time and from time to
time prepay without premium or penalty, but including any amount required to be
paid pursuant to Section 4.9,
Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans, in whole or in part, with
irrevocable prior written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (a
“Notice of
Prepayment”) given not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) on the same
Business Day as each Base Rate Loan and each Swingline Loan and (ii) at
least three (3) Business Days before each LIBOR Rate Loan, specifying the date
and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of LIBOR Rate Loans, Base
Rate Loans, Swingline Loans or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination
thereof, the amount allocable to each.  Upon receipt of such notice,
the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender.  If any
such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and
payable on the date set forth in such notice.  Partial prepayments
shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in
excess thereof with respect to Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans),
$2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof with respect to
LIBOR Rate Loans and $100,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof
with respect to Swingline Loans.  A Notice of Prepayment received
after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business
Day.  Each such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount required
to be paid pursuant to Section
4.9.

     

    (d)  Limitation on Prepayment of
LIBOR Rate Loans.  The Borrower may not prepay any LIBOR Rate
Loan on any day other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto unless such prepayment is accompanied by any amount required to be paid
pursuant to Section
4.9.

     

    (e)  Hedging Agreements and
Specified Cash Management Arrangements.  No repayment or
prepayment pursuant to this Section shall affect any of the Borrower’s
obligations under any Hedging Agreement or any Specified Cash Management
Arrangement.

     

    Section
2.5  Permanent Reduction of the
Aggregate Credit Commitment.

     

    (a)  Voluntary
Reduction.  The Borrower shall have the right at any time and
from time to time, upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to
the Administrative Agent, to permanently reduce, without premium or penalty but
including any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.9, (i) the
entire Aggregate Commitment at any time or (ii) portions of the Aggregate
Commitment, from time to time, in an aggregate principal amount of not less than
$1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof.  Any
reduction of the Aggregate Commitment shall be applied to the Commitment of each
Lender according to its Commitment Percentage.  All commitment fees
accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitment
shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

     

    (b)  Corresponding
Payment.  Each permanent reduction permitted pursuant to this
Section shall be accompanied by a payment of principal sufficient to reduce the
aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Loans and L/C
Obligations, as applicable, after such reduction to the Aggregate Commitment as
so reduced and if the Aggregate Commitment as so reduced is less than the
aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, the Borrower shall be
required to deposit cash collateral in a cash collateral account opened by the
Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and
unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit.  Such cash collateral
shall be applied in accordance with Section
11.2(b).  Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitment to zero
shall be accompanied by payment of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and
Swingline Loans (and furnishing of cash collateral satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent for all L/C Obligations) and shall result in the
termination of the Commitments and the Revolving Credit
Facility.  Such cash collateral shall be applied in accordance with
Section
11.2(b).  If the reduction of the Aggregate Commitment requires
the repayment of any LIBOR Rate Loan, such repayment shall be accompanied by any
amount required to be paid pursuant to Section
4.9.

     

    Section
2.6  Termination of Revolving
Credit Facility.  The
Revolving Credit Facility shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

     

    Section
2.7  Increase in Aggregate
Commitment.

     

    (a)  Request for
Increase.  Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default
immediately prior to or after giving effect thereto, upon notice to the
Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower
may, at any time during the period from the Closing Date through July 31, 2010,
request an increase in the Aggregate Commitment by an amount (for all such
requests) not exceeding $40,000,000; provided that (i) any
such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, and
(ii) the Borrower may make a maximum of two such requests.  At the
time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the
Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is
requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business
Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).

     

    (b)  Lender Elections to
Increase.  Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent
within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and,
if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Commitment
Percentage of such requested increase.  Any Lender not responding
within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its
Commitment.

     

    (c)  Notification by
Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders.  The Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to
each request made hereunder.  To achieve the full amount of a
requested increase, and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent,
each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender (which approvals shall not be
unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible
Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

     

    (d)  Effective Date and
Allocations.  If the Aggregate Commitment is increased in
accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall
determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective
Date”) and the final allocation of such increase.  The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the
final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

     

    (e)  Conditions to Effectiveness
of Increase.  As a condition precedent to such increase, the
Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Credit
Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of
such Credit Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such
Credit Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of
the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase,
no Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing.  Upon the
Increase Effective Date, (A) the Aggregate Commitment will be deemed to have
been increased by the amount of such Commitment increase pursuant to this Section 2.7, (B)
entries in the Register will be revised to reflect the revised Commitments and
Commitment Percentages of each of the Lenders (including each new Lender) and
(C) the outstanding Loans will be reallocated on the effective date of such
increase among the Lenders in accordance with their revised Commitment
Percentages and the Lenders (including each new Lender) agree to make all
payments and adjustments necessary to effect such reallocation and the Borrower
shall pay any and all costs required pursuant to Section 4.9 in
connection with such reallocation as if such reallocation were a repayment;
provided, that
the Administrative Agent agrees to cooperate with the Borrower with respect to
the timing of such reallocation so as to minimize any incurrence by the Borrower
of costs required pursuant to Section
4.9.

     

    (f)  Conflicting
Provisions.  This Section shall supersede any provisions in
Section 4.6 or
13.2 to the
contrary.

    LETTER OF CREDIT
FACILITY

     

    Section
3.1  L/C
Commitment.  Subject
to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lenders, in reliance on the
agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agree
to issue standby letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”)
for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day from the Closing Date
through but not including the Revolving Credit Maturity Date in such form as may
be approved from time to time by the applicable Issuing Lender; provided, that no
Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after
giving effect to such issuance, (a) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C
Commitment or (b) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Credit
Loans, plus the
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans, plus the aggregate
amount of L/C Obligations would exceed the Aggregate Commitment.  Each
Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars in a minimum amount of
$100,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent),
(ii) be a standby letter of credit issued to support obligations of the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries, contingent or otherwise, incurred in the ordinary
course of business, (iii) expire no later than the earlier of: (A) one (1) year
after its date of issuance or (B) the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the
Maturity Date and (iv) be subject to the Uniform Customs and/or ISP98, as set
forth in the Letter of Credit Application or as determined by the applicable
Issuing Lender and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the
State of New York.  No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated
to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or
cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed
by, any Applicable Law.  References herein to “issue” and derivations
thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or
modifications of any existing Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise
requires. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, as of the Closing Date, each of the Existing Letters of Credit shall
constitute, for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, a
Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder.

     

    Section
3.2  Procedure for Issuance of
Letters of Credit.  The
Borrower may from time to time request that the applicable Issuing Lender issue
a Letter of Credit by delivering to the applicable Issuing Lender a Letter of
Credit Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing
Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information
as such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent may request.  The
Borrower will contemporaneously deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the
Administrative Agent’s Office, a copy of such Letter of Credit Application and
accompanying documentation. Upon receipt of any Letter of Credit Application,
the applicable Issuing Lender shall process such Letter of Credit Application
and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it
in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall,
after approving same and receiving confirmation from the Administrative Agent
that sufficient availability exists under the Revolving Credit Facility for the
issuance of such Letter of Credit, subject to Section 3.1 and Article V, promptly
issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing
Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than four (4) Business
Days after its receipt of the Letter of Credit Application therefor and all such
other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto)
by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or
as otherwise may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender and the
Borrower.  The applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and
promptly notify each Lender of the issuance and upon request by any Lender,
furnish to such Lender a copy of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such
Lender’s participation therein.

     

    Section
3.3  Commissions and Other
Charges.

     

    (a)  Letter of Credit
Commissions.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender and the L/C
Participants, a letter of credit commission with respect to each Letter of
Credit in an amount equal to the face amount of such Letter of Credit multiplied by the
Applicable Margin with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans (determined on a per annum
basis).  Such commission shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the
last Business Day of each calendar quarter, on the Maturity Date and thereafter
on demand of the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent
shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to the applicable
Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants all commissions received pursuant to
this Section in accordance with their respective Commitment
Percentages.

     

    (b)  Fronting
Fee.  In addition to the foregoing commission, the Borrower
shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing
Lender, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit in an amount equal
to the face amount of such Letter of Credit multiplied by one-eighth of one
percent (0.125%) per annum.  Such fronting fee shall be payable
quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter
commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter
of Credit, on the Maturity Date and thereafter on demand of the Administrative
Agent.

     

    (c)  Other
Costs.  In addition to the foregoing fees and commissions, the
Borrower shall pay or reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for such normal
and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the applicable
Issuing Lender in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise
administering any Letter of Credit.

     

    Section
3.4  L/C
Participations.

     

    (a)  Each
Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C
Participant, and, to induce such Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit
hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and
hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms and
conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk
an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage in
such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter
of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing
Lender thereunder.  Each L/C Participant unconditionally and
irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any
Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the
Borrower through a Revolving Credit Loan or otherwise in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender
upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an
amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of
such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.

     

    (b)  Upon
becoming aware of any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the
applicable Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a)
in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing
Lender under any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall notify each L/C
Participant of the amount and due date of such required payment and such L/C
Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender the amount specified on the
applicable due date.  If any such amount is paid to such Issuing
Lender after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to
such Issuing Lender on demand, in addition to such amount, the product of (i)
such amount, times (ii) the daily
average Federal Funds Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent during the
period from and including the date such payment is due to the date on which such
payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a
fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such
period and the denominator of which is 360.  A certificate of such
Issuing Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  With respect to payment
to such Issuing Lender of the unreimbursed amounts described in this Section, if
the L/C Participants receive notice that any such payment is due (A) prior to
1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due that Business Day, and
(B) after 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due on the
following Business Day.

     

    (c)  Whenever,
at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit
and has received from any L/C Participant its Commitment Percentage of such
payment in accordance with this Section, such Issuing Lender receives any
payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or
otherwise, or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender
will distribute to such L/C Participant its prorata share thereof;
provided, that
in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be
required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall
return to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such
Issuing Lender to it.

     

    Section
3.5  Reimbursement Obligation of
the Borrower.  In
the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower agrees to
reimburse (either with the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan as provided for
in this Section or with funds from other sources), in same day funds, the
applicable Issuing Lender on each date on which such Issuing Lender notifies the
Borrower of the date and amount of a draft paid under any Letter of Credit for
the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any amounts referred to in Section 3.3(c)
incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such
payment.  Unless the Borrower shall immediately notify such Issuing
Lender that the Borrower intends to reimburse such Issuing Lender for such
drawing from other sources or funds, the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely
given a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent requesting that the
Lenders make a Revolving Credit Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate on such
date in the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any amounts referred to in
Section 3.3(c)
incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment, and the Lenders
shall make a Revolving Credit Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate in such
amount, the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Lender
for the amount of the related drawing and costs and expenses. Each Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to fund a Revolving Credit Loan in
accordance with this Section to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any draft paid
under a Letter of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected
by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in Section 2.3(a) or
Article
V.  If the Borrower has elected to pay the amount of such
drawing with funds from other sources and shall fail to reimburse the Issuing
Lender as provided above, the unreimbursed amount of such drawing shall bear
interest at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding Base Rate Loans
which were then overdue from the date such amounts become payable (whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in
full.

     

    Section
3.6  Obligations
Absolute.  The
Borrower’s obligations under this Article III
(including, without limitation, the Reimbursement Obligation) shall be absolute
and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any
set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have
had against the applicable Issuing Lender or any beneficiary of a Letter of
Credit or any other Person.  The Borrower also agrees that the Issuing
Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Participants shall not be
responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation under Section 3.5 shall not
be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or
of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to
be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower
and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such
Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower
against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such
transferee.  No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error,
omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any
message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit,
except for errors or omissions caused by such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct.  The Borrower agrees that any action taken or
omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit
or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence
or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in
any liability of the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to the
Borrower.  The responsibility of the Issuing Lenders to the Borrower
in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit
shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such
Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each
draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment
are in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

     

    Section
3.7  Effect of Letter of Credit
Application.  To
the extent that any provision of any Letter of Credit Application related to any
Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article III, the
provisions of this Article III shall
apply.

     

    ARTICLE
IV

    GENERAL LOAN
PROVISIONS

     

    Section
4.1  Interest.

     

    (a)  Interest Rate
Options.  Subject to the provisions of this Section, at the
election of the Borrower, (i) Revolving Credit Loans shall bear interest at (A)
the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Margin or (B) the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable
Margin (provided that the
LIBOR Rate shall not be available until three (3) Business Days after the
Closing Date unless the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a
letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
indemnifying the Lenders in the manner set forth in Section 4.9 of this
Agreement) and (ii) Swingline Loans shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Margin.  The Borrower shall select the rate of interest and Interest
Period, if any, applicable to any Revolving Credit Loan at the time a Notice of
Borrowing is given or at the time a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is given
pursuant to Section
4.2.  Any Revolving Credit Loan or any portion thereof as to
which the Borrower has not duly specified an interest rate as provided herein
shall be deemed a Base Rate Loan.

     

    (b)  Interest
Periods.  In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, the
Borrower, by giving notice at the times described in Section 2.3 or 4.2, as applicable,
shall elect an interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) to
be applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall be a period of one (1),
two (2), three (3), or six (6) months; provided
that:

     

    (i)  the
Interest Period shall commence on the date of advance of or conversion to any
LIBOR Rate Loan and, in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods,
each successive Interest Period shall commence on the date on which the
immediately preceding Interest Period expires;

     

    (ii)  if any
Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such
Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, that if any
Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a
day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further
Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the
immediately preceding Business Day;

     

    (iii)  any
Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan that begins on the last
Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically
corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period)
shall end on the last Business Day of the relevant calendar month at the end of
such Interest Period;

     

    (iv)  no
Interest Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date; and

     

    (v)  there
shall be no more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect at any
time.

     

    (c)  Default
Rate.  Subject to Section 11.3, upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of a Payment Event of Default or a
Bankruptcy Event of Default or, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent or
as directed by the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default other than a Payment Event of Default or
Bankruptcy Event of Default, (i) the Borrower shall no longer have the option to
request LIBOR Rate Loans, Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit, (ii) all
outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum of two
percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans until the
end of the applicable Interest Period and thereafter at a rate equal to two
percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (iii)
all outstanding Base Rate Loans and other Obligations arising hereunder or under
any other Loan Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two
percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans or such
other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan
Document.  Interest shall continue to accrue on the Obligations after
the filing by or against the Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in
bankruptcy or under any act or law pertaining to insolvency or debtor relief,
whether state, federal or foreign.

     

    (d)  Interest Payment and
Computation.  Interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be due and
payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing
September 30, 2007; and interest on each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be due and
payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and if such
Interest Period extends over three (3) months, at the end of each three (3)
month interval during such Interest Period.  All computations of
interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate
shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and
actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees and interest
provided hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days
elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than
if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).

     

    (e)  Maximum
Rate.  In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the
aggregate of all amounts deemed interest under this Agreement charged or
collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate
permissible under any Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction
shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto.  In the event
that such a court determines that the Lenders have charged or received interest
hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder
shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law
and the Lenders shall at the Administrative Agent’s option (i) promptly refund
to the Borrower any interest received by the Lenders in excess of the maximum
lawful rate or (ii) apply such excess to the principal balance of the
Obligations on a pro
rata basis.  It is the intent hereof that the Borrower not pay
or contract to pay, and that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender
receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever,
interest in excess of that which may be paid by the Borrower under Applicable
Law.

     

    Section
4.2  Notice and Manner of
Conversion or Continuation of Loans.  Provided
that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the
Borrower shall have the option to (a) convert at any time following the third
Business Day after the Closing Date all or any portion of any outstanding Base
Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) in a principal amount equal to
$2,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof into one or more
LIBOR Rate Loans and (b) upon the expiration of any Interest Period, (i) convert
all or any part of its outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans in a principal amount equal
to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof into Base Rate
Loans (other than Swingline Loans) or (ii) continue such LIBOR Rate Loans as
LIBOR Rate Loans.  Whenever the Borrower desires to convert or
continue Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall give the Administrative
Agent irrevocable prior written notice in the form attached as Exhibit E (a “Notice of
Conversion/Continuation”) not later than 2:00 p.m. three (3) Business
Days before the day on which a proposed conversion or continuation of such Loan
is to be effective specifying (A) the Loans to be converted or continued, and,
in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loan to be converted or continued, the last day of
the Interest Period therefor, (B) the effective date of such conversion or
continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the principal amount of such
Loans to be converted or continued, and (D) the Interest Period to be applicable
to such converted or continued LIBOR Rate Loan.  The Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such Notice of
Conversion/Continuation.

     

    Section
4.3  Fees.

     

    (a)  Commitment
Fee.  Commencing on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to
the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, a non-refundable
commitment fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin (with such
determination on the Closing Date to be made after giving proforma effect to the
Transactions) on the average daily unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment;
provided, that
the amount of outstanding Swingline Loans shall not be considered usage of the
Aggregate Commitment for the purpose of calculating such commitment
fee.  The commitment fee shall be payable in arrears on the last
Business Day of each calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement
commencing September 30, 2007, and on the Maturity Date.  Such
commitment fee shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders
prorata in accordance
with the Lenders’ respective Commitment Percentages.

     

    (b)  Administrative Agent’s and
Other Fees.  In order to compensate the Administrative Agent
for structuring and syndicating the Loans and for its obligations hereunder, the
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and its affiliates the fees
set forth in the Fee Letter.

     

    (c)  Other
Fees.  In order to compensate the Lenders for entering into
this Agreement and making the Extensions of Credit  hereunder, the
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and its affiliates, for the
account of the Lenders, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.

     

    Section
4.4  Manner of
Payment.  Each
payment by the Borrower on account of the principal of or interest on the Loans
or of any fee, commission or other amounts (including the Reimbursement
Obligation) payable to the Lenders under this Agreement shall be made not later
than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of the
Lenders (other than as set forth below) prorata in accordance
with their respective Commitment Percentages (except as specified below), in
Dollars, in immediately available funds and shall be made without any set-off,
counterclaim or deduction whatsoever.  Any payment received after such
time but before 2:00 p.m. on such day shall be deemed a payment on such date for
the purposes of Section 11.1, but for
all other purposes shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding
Business Day.  Any payment received after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed to
have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for all
purposes.  Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of each such
payment, the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Lender at its address
for notices set forth herein its prorata share of such
payment in accordance with such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (except as
specified below) and shall wire advice of the amount of such credit to each
Lender.  Each payment to the Administrative Agent on account of the
principal of, or interest on, the Swingline Loans or of any fee, commission or
other amount payable to the Swingline Lenders shall be made in like manner, but
for the account of the Swingline Lender.  Each payment to the
Administrative Agent of the applicable Issuing Lender’s fees or L/C
Participants’ commissions shall be made in like manner, but for the account of
the applicable Issuing Lender or the L/C Participants, as the case may
be.  Each payment to the Administrative Agent of Administrative
Agent’s fees or expenses shall be made for the account of the Administrative
Agent and any amount payable to any Lender under Sections 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 or 13.3 shall be paid to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable
Lender.  Subject to Section 4.1(b)(ii) if
any payment under this Agreement shall be specified to be made upon a day which
is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a
Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in
computing any interest if payable along with such payment.

     

    Section
4.5  Evidence of
Indebtedness.

     

    (a)  Extensions of
Credit.  The Extensions of Credit made by each Lender shall be
evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by
the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business.  The
accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall
be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Extensions of Credit
made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments
thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not,
however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to
pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations.  In the event of
any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the
accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the
accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of
manifest error.  Upon the request of any Lender made through the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender
(through the Administrative Agent) a Revolving Credit Note and/or Swingline
Note, as applicable, which shall evidence such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans
and/or Swingline Loans, as applicable, in addition to such accounts or
records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse
thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect
thereto.

     

    (b)  Participations.  In
addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender
and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender
of participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans.  In the
event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the
Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of
such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control
in the absence of manifest error.

     

    Section
4.6  Adjustments.  If
any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of
its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving
payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued
interest thereon or other such obligations (other than pursuant to Sections 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 or 13.3 hereof) greater
than its prorata share thereof as
provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a)
notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face
value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other
Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the
benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on
their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided
that

     

    (i)  if any
such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving
rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the
purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest,
and

     

    (ii)  the
provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment
made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of
this Agreement or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations
in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other
than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of
this paragraph shall apply).

     

    Each
Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a
participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each
Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Credit
Party in the amount of such participation.

     

    Section
4.7  Nature of Obligations of
Lenders Regarding Extensions of Credit; Assumption by the Administrative
Agent.  The
obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement to make the Loans and issue or
participate in Letters of Credit are several and are not joint or joint and
several.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from a Lender prior to a proposed borrowing date that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of the
amount to be borrowed on such date (which notice shall not release such Lender
of its obligations hereunder), the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the
proposed borrowing date in accordance with Section 2.3(b) and
the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available
to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  If such amount
is made available to the Administrative Agent on a date after such borrowing
date, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount,
until paid, equal to the product of (a) the amount not made available by such
Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, times (b) the daily
average Federal Funds Rate during such period as determined by the
Administrative Agent, times (c) a fraction
the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including such
borrowing date to the date on which such amount not made available by such
Lender in accordance with the terms hereof shall have become immediately
available to the Administrative Agent and the denominator of which is
360.  A certificate of the Administrative Agent with respect to any
amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive, absent manifest
error.  If such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such borrowing is
not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3)
Business Days after such borrowing date, the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to recover such amount made available by the Administrative Agent with
interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder,
on demand, from the Borrower.  The failure of any Lender to make
available its Commitment Percentage of any Loan requested by the Borrower shall
not relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make
its Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date, but no
Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its
Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing
date.  Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, any
Lender that fails to make available its Commitment Percentage of any Loan shall
not (a) have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan
Document or (b) constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of
Required Lenders hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with
respect to any Loan Document.

     

    Section
4.8  Changed
Circumstances.

     

    (a)  Circumstances Affecting
LIBOR Rate Availability.  If with respect to any Interest
Period the Administrative Agent or any Lender (after consultation with the
Administrative Agent) shall determine that, by reason of circumstances affecting
the foreign exchange and interbank markets generally, deposits in eurodollars,
in the applicable amounts are not being quoted via the Reuters Screen LIBOR01
Page or offered to the Administrative Agent or such Lender for such Interest
Period, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the
Borrower.  Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the
Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders
to make LIBOR Rate Loans and the right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to or
continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended, and the Borrower
shall repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding
principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan together with accrued interest
thereon, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such
LIBOR Rate Loan or convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such
LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as of the last day of such Interest
Period.

     

    (b)  Laws Affecting LIBOR Rate
Availability.  If, after the date hereof, the introduction of,
or any Change in Law or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the
Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental
Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or
impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices)
to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, such
Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the other
Lenders.  Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the
Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the
Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans and the right of the Borrower to convert any
Loan or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended and thereafter
the Borrower may select only Base Rate Loans hereunder, and (ii) if any of the
Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan to the end of
the then current Interest Period applicable thereto as a LIBOR Rate Loan, the
applicable LIBOR Rate Loan shall immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan
for the remainder of such Interest Period.

     

    Section
4.9  Indemnity.  The
Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the Lenders against any loss or expense
which may arise or be attributable to each Lender’s obtaining, liquidating or
employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any Loan
(a) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to make any payment when due
of any amount due hereunder in connection with a LIBOR Rate Loan, (b) due to any
failure of the Borrower to borrow, continue or convert on a date specified
therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation or
(c) due to any payment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan on
a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor.  The
amount of such loss or expense shall be determined, in the applicable Lender’s
sole discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender funded its
Commitment Percentage of the LIBOR Rate Loans in the London interbank market and
using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which such Lender deems
appropriate and practical.  A certificate of such Lender setting forth
the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such
Lender shall be forwarded to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent and
shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest
error.

     

    Section
4.10  Increased
Costs.

     

    (a)  Increased Costs
Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:

     

    (i)  impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for
the account of, or advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in
by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or
the applicable Issuing Lender;

     

    (ii)  subject
any Lender or any Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect
to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit
or any LIBOR Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments
to such Lender or such Issuing Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 4.11 and the
imposition of, or any change in the rate of any
Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or such Issuing Lender); or

     

    (iii)  impose on
any Lender or any Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Rate Loans made by
such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

     

    and the
result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of
making, converting into or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan (or of maintaining
its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or
such Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of
Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any
Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by
such Lender or such Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or
any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such Issuing Lender, the
Borrower shall promptly pay to any such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the
case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered.

     

    (b)  Capital
Requirements.  If any Lender or any Issuing Lender determines
that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Lender or any
lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding
company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s capital or
on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if
any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the
Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or
the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which
such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s
holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies
of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to
capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower shall promptly pay to
such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such
Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction
suffered.

     

    (c)  Certificates for
Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Lender
setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such
Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in
paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender
or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

     

    (d)  Delay in
Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any
Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not
constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s right to demand
such compensation; provided that the
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or any Issuing Lender
pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered
more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender,
as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to
such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s
intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the
nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof).

     

    Section
4.11  Taxes.

     

    (a)  Payments Free of
Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation
of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free
and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes; provided that if the
Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes
(including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall
be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section)
the Administrative Agent, Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be,
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the
Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.

     

    (b)  Payment of Other Taxes by
the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the
Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law.

     

    (c)  Indemnification by the
Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each
Lender and each Issuing Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for
the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable
under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such
Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted
by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the
amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an
Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing
Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     

    (d)  Evidence of Payments.
As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by
the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by
such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return
reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent.

     

    (e)  Status of Lenders.
Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is
resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party,
with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time
or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any
Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver
such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to
backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a
resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall
be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign
Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter
upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such
Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is
applicable:

     

    (i)  duly
completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility
for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a
party,

     

    (ii)  duly
completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

     

    (iii)  in the
case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio
interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that
such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section
881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within
the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign
corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly
completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

     

    (iv)  any other
form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a
reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with
such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to
permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be
made.

     

    (f)  Treatment of Certain
Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Lender
determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes
or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with
respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only
to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the
Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise
to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent,
such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with
respect to such refund); provided that the
Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such
Issuing Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender in
the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This
paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender
or any Issuing Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other
information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower
or any other Person.

     

    (g)  Survival.  Without
prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the
agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section shall
survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of the
Commitments.

     

    Section
4.12  Mitigation Obligations;
Replacement of Lenders.

     

    (a)  Designation of a Different
Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.10, or
requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.11, then
such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office
for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in
the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate
or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.10 or Section 4.11, as the
case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such
Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or
assignment.

     

    (b)  Replacement of
Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.10, or if
the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.11, or if
any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower
may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and
consents required by, Section 13.10), all
of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related
Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee
may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided
that:

     

    (i)  the
Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee
specified in Section
13.10;

     

    (ii)  such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.9) from the
assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

     

    (iii)  in the
case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.10 or
payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.11, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments
thereafter; and

     

    (iv)  such
assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law.

     

    A Lender
shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior
thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances
entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to
apply.

     

    Section
4.13  Security.  The
Obligations of the Borrower shall be secured as provided in the Security
Documents.

    ARTICLE
VI

    REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES OF THE BORROWER

     

    Section
6.1  Representations and
Warranties.  To
induce the Administrative Agent and Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to
induce the Lenders to make Extensions of Credit, the Borrower hereby represents
and warrants to the Administrative Agent and Lenders both before and after
giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereunder that:

     

    (a)  Organization; Power;
Qualification.  Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (i)
is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, (ii) has the power and authority
to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being and hereafter
proposed to be conducted and (iii) is duly qualified and authorized to do
business in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the
nature of its business requires such qualification and authorization except
where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse
Effect.  The jurisdictions in which the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
are organized and qualified to do business as of the Closing Date are described
on Schedule
6.1(a).

     

    (b)  Ownership.  Each
Subsidiary of the Borrower as of the Closing Date is listed on Schedule
6.1(b).  As of the Closing Date, the capitalization of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries consists of the number of shares or other
ownership interests, authorized, issued and outstanding, of such classes and
series, with or without par value, described on Schedule
6.1(b).  All outstanding shares or other ownership interests
have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and
nonassessable, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof,
and not subject to any preemptive or similar rights.  The shareholders
(or members, partners or other owners, as applicable) of the Subsidiaries of the
Borrower and the number of shares or other ownership interests owned by each as
of the Closing Date are described on Schedule
6.1(b).  As of the Closing Date, there are no outstanding stock
purchase warrants, subscriptions, options, securities, instruments or other
rights of any type or nature whatsoever, which are convertible into,
exchangeable for or otherwise provide for or permit the issuance of Capital
Stock of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, except as described on Schedule
6.1(b).

     

    (c)  Authorization of Agreement,
Loan Documents and Borrowing. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
has the right, power and authority and has taken all necessary corporate and
other action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in
accordance with their respective terms.  This Agreement and each of
the other Loan Documents has been duly executed and delivered by the duly
authorized officers of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries party thereto,
and each such document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of
the Borrower and each Subsidiary party thereto, enforceable in accordance with
its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar state or federal debtor relief
laws from time to time in effect which affect the enforcement of creditors’
rights in general and the availability of equitable remedies.

     

    (d)  Compliance of Agreement,
Loan Documents and Borrowing with Laws, Etc.  The execution,
delivery and performance by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries of the Loan
Documents to which each such Person is a party, in accordance with their
respective terms, the Extensions of Credit hereunder and the transactions
contemplated hereby do not and will not, by the passage of time, the giving of
notice or otherwise, (i) require any Governmental Approval or violate any
Applicable Law relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii)
conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under the articles
of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which
such Person is a party or by which any of its properties may be bound or any
Governmental Approval relating to such Person, (iii) result in or require the
creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property now
owned or hereafter acquired by such Person other than Liens arising under the
Loan Documents or (iv) require any consent or authorization of, filing with, or
other act in respect of, an arbitrator or Governmental Authority and no consent
of any other Person is required in connection with the execution, delivery,
performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

     

    (e)  Compliance with Law;
Governmental Approvals.  Each of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries (i) has all Governmental Approvals required by any Applicable Law
for it to conduct its business, each of which is in full force and effect, is
final and not subject to review on appeal and is not the subject of any pending
or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened attack by direct or collateral
proceeding, (ii) is in compliance with each Governmental Approval applicable to
it and in compliance with all other Applicable Laws relating to it or any of its
respective properties and (iii) has timely filed all material reports, documents
and other materials required to be filed by it under all Applicable Laws with
any Governmental Authority and has retained all material records and documents
required to be retained by it under Applicable Law, except in each case (i),
(ii) or (iii) where the failure to have, comply or file could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     

    (f)  Tax Returns and
Payments.  Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has duly
filed or caused to be filed all federal, state, local and other tax returns
required by Applicable Law to be filed, and has paid, or made adequate provision
for the payment of, all federal, state, local and other taxes, assessments and
governmental charges or levies upon it and its property, income, profits and
assets which are due and payable.  Such returns accurately reflect in
all material respects all liability for taxes of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries for the periods covered thereby.  Except as set forth in
Schedule 6.1(f), there is no ongoing audit or examination or, to the knowledge
of the Borrower, other investigation by any Governmental Authority of the tax
liability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.  No Governmental
Authority has asserted any Lien or other claim against the Borrower or any
Subsidiary thereof with respect to unpaid taxes which has not been discharged or
resolved.  The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the
Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries in respect of federal, state, local and
other taxes for all Fiscal Years and portions thereof since the organization of
the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries are in the judgment of the Borrower
adequate, and the Borrower does not anticipate any additional taxes or
assessments for any of such years.

Matters.  Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns or
possesses rights to use all franchises, licenses, copyrights, copyright
applications, patents, patent rights or licenses, patent applications,
trademarks, trademark rights, service mark, service mark rights, trade names,
trade name rights, copyrights and rights with respect to the foregoing which are
required to conduct its business.  No event has occurred which

thereof is liable to any Person for infringement under Applicable Law with
respect to any such rights as a result of its business operations.

the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect;

     

    (ii)  The
Borrower, each Subsidiary and such properties and all operations conducted in
connection therewith are in compliance, and have been in compliance, with all

Effect;

the Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof has received any notice of violation,

stored or disposed of at, on or under any of such properties in violation of, or
in a manner that could give rise to liability under, any applicable
Environmental Laws, except where such violation or liability could not

responsible party with respect to such properties or operations conducted in
connection therewith, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees,
consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative
or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to
Borrower, any Subsidiary or such properties or such operations, except where

Effect; and

determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be so qualified, and each trust
related to such plan has been determined to be exempt under Section 501(a) of
the Code except for such plans that have not yet received determination letters
but for which the remedial amendment period for submitting a determination

set forth in Schedule
6.1(l), each such Material Government Contract in existence on the
Closing Date is, and after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents will be, in full force and effect as of the
Closing Date in accordance with the terms thereof.  The Borrower and
its Subsidiaries have made available for review by the Administrative Agent a
true and complete copy of each Material Government Contract required to be
listed on Schedule
6.1(l) (except for classified Material Government Contracts which may not
be disclosed to third parties pursuant to the express written terms
thereof).  As of the Closing Date, neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries (nor, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any other party thereto) is
in breach of or in default under any Material Government Contract.

     

    (ii)  Schedule 6.1(l) sets
forth a complete and accurate list of all other Material Contracts of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries in effect as of the Closing Date not listed on any
other Schedule hereto; other than as set forth in Schedule 6.1(l), each
such Material Contract is, and after giving effect to the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents will be, in full force and
effect in accordance with the terms thereof.  The Borrower and its
Subsidiaries have delivered to the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy
of each Material Contract required to be listed on Schedule 6.1(l) or
any other Schedule hereto.  Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary
(nor, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any other party thereto) is in breach of
or in default under any Material Contract in any material respect.

     

    (m)  Employee Relations.
Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has a stable work force in place and
is not, as of the Closing Date, party to any collective bargaining agreement nor
has any labor union been recognized as the representative of its employees
except as set forth on Schedule
6.1(m).  The Borrower knows of no pending, threatened or
contemplated strikes, work stoppage or other collective labor disputes involving
its employees or those of its Subsidiaries.

     

    (n)  Burdensome
Provisions.  Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof is
a party to any indenture, agreement, lease or other instrument, or subject to
any corporate or partnership restriction, Governmental Approval or Applicable
Law which is so unusual or burdensome as in the foreseeable future could be
reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The Borrower
and its Subsidiaries do not presently anticipate that future expenditures needed
to meet the provisions of any statutes, orders, rules or regulations of a
Governmental Authority will be so burdensome as to have a Material Adverse
Effect.  No Subsidiary is party to any agreement or instrument or
otherwise subject to any restriction or encumbrance that restricts or limits its
ability to make dividend payments or other distributions in respect of its
Capital Stock to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or to transfer any of its assets
or properties to the Borrower or any other Subsidiary in each case other than
existing under or by reason of the Loan Documents or Applicable
Law.

     

    (o)  Financial
Statements.  The audited and unaudited financial statements
delivered pursuant to Section 5.2(e)(i) are
complete and correct in all material respects and fairly present in all material
respects on a Consolidated basis the assets, liabilities and financial position
of the Borrower, D3 and their respective Subsidiaries as at such dates, and the
results of the operations and changes of financial position for the periods then
ended (other than customary year-end adjustments for unaudited financial
statements).  All such financial statements, including the related
schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (but, in
the case of any such financial statements, schedules and notes which are
unaudited, only to the extent GAAP is applicable to interim unaudited
reports).  The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have no Indebtedness,
obligation or other unusual forward or long term commitment which is not fairly
reflected in the foregoing financial statements or in the notes
thereto.  The proforma financial
statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.2(e)(i)(C)
were prepared in good faith on the basis of the assumptions stated therein,
which assumptions are believed to be reasonable in light of then existing
conditions except that such financial statements and forecasts shall be subject
to normal year end closing and audit adjustments.

     

    (p)  No Material Adverse
Change.  Since December 31, 2006, there has been no material
adverse change in the properties, business, operations, prospects, or condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and no event has
occurred or condition arisen that could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

     

    (q)  Solvency.  As
of the Closing Date and after giving effect to each Extension of Credit made
hereunder, the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries will be
Solvent.

     

    (r)  Titles to
Properties.  Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has such
title to the real property owned, if any, or leased by it as is necessary or
desirable to the conduct of its business and valid and legal title to all of its
personal property and assets, including, but not limited to, those reflected on
the balance sheets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries delivered pursuant to
Section 6.1(n),
except those which have been disposed of by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries
subsequent to such date which dispositions have been in the ordinary course of
business or as otherwise expressly permitted hereunder. As of the Closing Date,
neither the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries owns any real
property.

     

    (s)  Liens.  None
of the properties and assets of the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof is
subject to any Lien, except Permitted Liens.  No financing statement
under the Uniform Commercial Code of any state which names the Borrower or any
Subsidiary thereof or any of their respective trade names or divisions as debtor
and which has not been terminated, has been filed in any state or other
jurisdiction and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof has signed any
such financing statement or any security agreement authorizing any secured party
thereunder to file any such financing statement, except to perfect those
Permitted Liens.

     

    (t)  Indebtedness and Guaranty
Obligations.  Schedule 6.1(t) is a
complete and correct listing of all Indebtedness and Guaranty Obligations of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date in excess of $500,000 other
than inter-company Indebtedness and Guaranty Obligations permitted pursuant to
Section
10.1(h).  The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have performed and
are in compliance with all of the terms of such Indebtedness and Guaranty
Obligations and all instruments and agreements relating thereto, and no default
or event of default, or event or condition which with notice or lapse of time or
both would constitute such a default or event of default on the part of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries exists with respect to any such Indebtedness
or Guaranty Obligation.

     

    (u)  Litigation. Except
for matters existing on the Closing Date and set forth on Schedule 6.1(u),
there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending nor, to the knowledge of the
Borrower, threatened against or in any other way relating adversely to or
affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof or any of their respective
properties in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any
Governmental Authority that (i) has or could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) materially adversely affects any
Transaction or any other transaction contemplated hereby.

     

    (v)  Absence of
Defaults.  No event has occurred or is continuing which
constitutes a Default or an Event of Default.

     

    (w)  Senior Indebtedness
Status.  The Obligations of the Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents rank and
shall continue to rank at least senior in priority of payment to all
Subordinated Indebtedness of each such Person and is designated as “Senior
Indebtedness” or otherwise treated as senior debt under all instruments and
documents, now or in the future, relating to all Subordinated
Indebtedness.

     

    (x)  OFAC.  None
of the Borrower, any Affiliate of the Borrower or any Guarantor: (i) is a
Sanctioned Person, (ii) has more than 10% of its assets in Sanctioned Entities,
or (iii) derives more than 10% of its operating income from investments in, or
transactions with Sanctioned Persons or Sanctioned Entities.  The
proceeds of any Loan will not be used and have not been used to fund any
operations in, finance any investments or activities in, or make any payments
to, a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Entity.

     

    (y)  Accuracy and Completeness of
Information.  All written information, reports and other papers
and data produced by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof
(other than financial projections, which shall be subject to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Administrative Agent) and furnished to the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders were, at the time the same were so furnished, complete and
correct in all material respects to the extent necessary to give the recipient a
true and accurate knowledge of the subject matter.

     

    (z)  Disclosure.  The
Borrower has disclosed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders all
agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which any of the
Credit Parties are subject, and all other matters known to it (other than
general economic conditions), that, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  No
financial statement, material report, material certificate or other material
information furnished (whether in writing or orally) by or on behalf of any of
the Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or
delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so
furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with
respect to projected financial information, pro forma financial information,
estimated financial information and other projected or estimated information,
the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith
based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

     

    Section
6.2  Survival of Representations
and Warranties, Etc.  All
representations and warranties set forth in this Article VI and all
representations and warranties contained in any certificate, or any of the Loan
Documents (including, but not limited to, any such representation or warranty
made in or in connection with any amendment thereto) shall constitute

as of a specific date), shall survive the Closing Date and shall not be waived
by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any investigation made by or on

    Section
11.2  Remedies.  Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, with the consent of the Required Lenders,
the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower:

     

    (a)  Acceleration; Termination of
Facilities.  Terminate the Commitments and declare the
principal of and interest on the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations at the
time outstanding, and all other amounts owed to the Lenders and to the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
(including, without limitation, all L/C Obligations, whether or not the
beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented or
shall be entitled to present the documents required thereunder) and all other
Obligations (other than Specified Obligations), to be forthwith due and payable,
whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable without presentment,
demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived
by each Credit Party, anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to
the contrary notwithstanding, and terminate the Credit Facility and any right of
the Borrower to request borrowings or Letters of Credit thereunder; provided, that upon
the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event of Default, the Credit Facility shall be
automatically terminated and all Obligations (other than Specified Obligations)
shall automatically become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest
or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by each Credit
Party, anything in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document to the contrary
notwithstanding.

     

    (b)  Letters of
Credit.  With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to
which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an
acceleration pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Borrower shall at such
time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an
amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters
of Credit.  Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be
applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such
Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of
Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to
repay the other Obligations on a pro rata
basis.  After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been
fully drawn upon, the Reimbursement Obligation shall have been satisfied and all
other Obligations shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such
cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower.

     

    (c)  Rights of
Collection.  Exercise on behalf of the Lenders all of its other
rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and
Applicable Law, in order to satisfy all of the Borrower’s
Obligations.

     

    Section
11.3  Rights and Remedies
Cumulative; Non-Waiver; etc.  The
enumeration of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders set forth in this Agreement is not intended to be exhaustive and the
exercise by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of any right or remedy
shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which
shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or that may now or hereafter exist
at law or in equity or by suit or otherwise.  No delay or failure to
take action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising
any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of
Default.  No course of dealing between the  Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders or their respective agents or employees
shall be effective to change, modify or discharge any provision of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to constitute a waiver of any
Event of Default.

     

    Section
11.4  Crediting of Payments and
Proceeds.  In
the event that the Borrower shall fail to pay any of the Obligations when due
and the Obligations have been accelerated pursuant to Section 11.2, all
payments received by the Lenders upon the Obligations and all net proceeds from
the enforcement of the Obligations shall be applied:

     

    First, to payment of
that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and
other amounts, including attorney fees, payable to the Administrative Agent in
its capacity as such and each Issuing Lender in its capacity as such (ratably
among the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender in proportion to the
respective amounts described in this clause First payable to
them);

     

    Second, to payment of
that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts
(other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders, including attorney
fees (ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts
described in this clause Second payable to
them);

     

    Third, to payment of
that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the
Loans and Reimbursement Obligations (ratably among the Lenders in proportion to
the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to
them);

     

    Fourth, to payment of
that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans,
Reimbursement Obligations and Specified Obligations (including any termination
payments and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) (ratably among the Lenders
and counterparties to the respective Specified Obligations in proportion to the
respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by
them);

     

    Fifth, to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender, to cash
collateralize any L/C Obligations then outstanding; and

     

    Last, the balance, if
any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the
Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

     

    Section
11.5  Administrative Agent May
File Proofs of Claim.  In
case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective
of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and
payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower)
shall be entitled and empowered to, and if required by the Required Lenders
shall, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

     

    (a)  file and
prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and
unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations 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 Lenders and the Administrative
Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their
respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent under Sections 3.3, 4.3 and 13.3) allowed in such
judicial proceeding; and

     

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

     

    and any
custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other
similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that
the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly
to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Sections 4.3 and
13.3.

     

    Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations
or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in
respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

     

    ARTICLE
XII

    THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT

     

    Section
12.1  Appointment.  Each
of the Lenders hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Wachovia to act on its
behalf as the Administrative Agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents for the term hereof and each such Lender irrevocably
authorizes Wachovia, as Administrative Agent for such Lender, to take such
action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and such
other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
elsewhere in this Agreement or such other Loan Documents, the Administrative
Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set
forth herein and therein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no
implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or
otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.  Any reference to
the Administrative Agent in this Article XII shall be
deemed to refer to the Administrative Agent solely in its capacity as
Administrative Agent and not in its capacity as a Lender.

     

    Section
12.2  Delegation of
Duties.  The
Administrative Agent may execute any of its respective duties under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact
and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to
such duties.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for
the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by the
Administrative Agent with reasonable care.

     

    Section
12.3  Exculpatory
Provisions.  Neither
the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact, Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action
lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in
connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (except for actions
occasioned solely by its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful
misconduct), or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any
recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or any
of the Credit Parties or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or
in connection with, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or for the value,
validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or for any failure of the Borrower or any
of the Credit Parties to perform its obligations hereunder or
thereunder.  The Administrative Agent shall not be under any
obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or
performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this
Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any
of the Credit Parties.

     

    Section
12.4  Reliance by the
Administrative Agent.

     

    (a)  The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in
relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message,
statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine
and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or
Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without
limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts
selected by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall
be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice
or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, when expressly required hereby or by
the relevant other Loan Documents, all the Lenders) as it deems appropriate or
it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and
all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action except for its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be
fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in
accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, when expressly required
hereby, all the Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to
act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

     

    (b)  For
purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 5.2, each
Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to,
approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter
required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or
satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its
objection thereto.

     

    Section
12.5  Notice of
Default.  The
Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless it has received notice from
a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or
Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of
default”.  In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a
notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders.  The
Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or
Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or,
when expressly required hereby, all the Lenders); provided that unless
and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders, except to the extent
that other provisions of this Agreement expressly require that any such action
be taken or not be taken only with the consent and authorization or the request
of the Lenders or Required Lenders, as applicable.

     

    Section
12.6  Non-Reliance on the
Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each
Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of
its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact,
Subsidiaries or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and
that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of
the affairs of the  Borrower or any Credit Party, shall be deemed to
constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any
Lender.  Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it
has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries and made its own decision to make its Loans and
issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder and enter into this
Agreement.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the
business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Credit Party.  Except for
notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the
Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder or by the other Loan Documents,
the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide
any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the
Borrower or any of the Credit Parties which may come into the possession of the
Administrative Agent or any of its respective officers, directors, employees,
agents, attorneys-in-fact, Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

     

    Section
12.7  Indemnification.  The
Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such and
(to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to the respective
amounts of their Commitment Percentages from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time
(including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans
or any Reimbursement Obligation) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents, or any documents, reports or other information
provided to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or contemplated by or
referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in
connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no
Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements to the extent resulting from the Administrative
Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The
agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.

     

    Section
12.8  The Administrative Agent in
Its Individual Capacity.  The
Administrative Agent and its respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates may make
loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with
the Borrower as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative
Agent hereunder.  With respect to any Loans made or renewed by it and
with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by it or participated in by it, the
Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though
it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall
include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

     

    Section
12.9  Resignation of the
Administrative Agent; Successor Administrative Agent.

     

    (a)  Subject
to the appointment and acceptance of a successor as provided below, Wachovia may
resign as the Administrative Agent at any time by giving notice thereof to the
Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon any such resignation, the Required
Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent
for the Lenders, which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by
the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default
(which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed).  If no successor administrative agent shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within thirty (30) days after the Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of
resignation, then the Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders,
appoint a successor administrative agent.  Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor administrative
agent, such successor administrative agent shall thereupon succeed to and become
vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder without any other or further act or
deed on the part of such retiring Administrative Agent or any other
Lender.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation
hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XII and Section 13.3
shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.  If no
successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent
by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative
Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation
shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all
of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as
the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for
above.

     

    (b)  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, (A) Wachovia may, upon thirty (30)
days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swingline Lender and (B) any Issuing
Lender may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, resign as an Issuing Lender.  In the event of
any such resignation as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall
be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders, subject to acceptance of such
appointment by the Lender so chosen, a successor Issuing Lender or Swingline
Lender hereunder; provided that no
failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the
resignation of Wachovia as Swingline Lender or the resignation of any Issuing
Lender as an Issuing Lender, as the case may be.  If any Issuing
Lender resigns as an Issuing Lender, it shall retain all the rights and
obligations of an Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit
outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuing Lender and
all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the
Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans or fund risk participations for
unreimbursed amounts of Letters of Credit pursuant to Section
3.4.  If Wachovia 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 Revolving Credit
Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to
Section
2.2(b).

     

    Section
12.10  Collateral and Guaranty
Matters.  The
Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its
discretion (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any counterparty to any
Specified Hedge Agreement or Specified Cash Management Agreement that was a
Lender or an Affiliate of any Lender at the time such agreement was
executed):

     

    (a)  to
release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative
Agent, for the ratable benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties (whether
or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Specified
Obligations or contingent or indemnification obligations not then due), under
any Loan Document (i) upon repayment of the outstanding principal of and all
accrued interest on the Loans, payment of all outstanding fees and expenses
hereunder, the termination of the Lenders’ Commitments and the expiration or
termination of all Letters of Credit, (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 13.2, if
approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required
Lenders;

     

    (b)  to
subordinate any Lien on any Collateral (whether or not on the date of such
release there may be outstanding Specified Obligations or contingent or
indemnification obligations not then due) granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such
Collateral that is permitted by Section 10.2(g);
and

     

    (c)  to
release any Guarantor (whether or not on the date of such release there may be
outstanding Specified Obligations or contingent or indemnification obligations
not then due) from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement if such Person
ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted
hereunder.

     

    Upon
request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will
confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or
subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release
any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement pursuant to this
Section.

     

    Section
12.11  Other Agents, Arrangers and
Managers.  None
of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages
of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co-agent,”
“book manager,” “lead manager,” “arranger,” “lead arranger” or “co-arranger”
shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under
this Agreement other than, in the case of such Lenders, those applicable to all
Lenders as such.  Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders
or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary
relationship with any Lender.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has
not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so
identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking
action hereunder.

further consent, to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem appropriate in order
to effectuate any increase in the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to Section 2.7,
including, without limitation, amendments to permit such increases in the
Aggregate Commitments to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and to include appropriately any Lenders under such
increases in the Aggregate Commitments in any determination of Required Lenders;

and severally, shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred

charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in
connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein,

Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or

    (b)  Indemnification by the
Borrower.  The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative
Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and each Issuing Lender, and each
Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
“Indemnitee”)
against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, and shall pay or reimburse any
such Indemnitee for, any and all losses, claims (including, without limitation,
any Environmental Claims or civil penalties or fines assessed by OFAC), damages,
liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements
of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted
against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Credit
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, (ii) any

not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any
actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any
property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
Environmental Claim related in any way to the Borrower or any of its

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
Borrower or any other Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof, and regardless of
whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (v) any claim (including, without
limitation, any Environmental Claims or civil penalties or fines assessed by the
U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control),
investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the Administrative
Agent or any Lender is a party thereto) and the prosecution and defense thereof,
arising out of or in any way connected with the Loans, this Agreement, any other
Loan Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein
or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including without
limitation, reasonable attorneys and consultant’s fees, provided that such
indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, 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 Indemnitee or
(y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Credit Party
against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee's obligations
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Credit Party
has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

     

    (c)  Reimbursement by
Lenders.  To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails
to indefeasibly pay any amount required under clause (a) or (b) of this
Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof),
any Issuing Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender
severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent),
each Issuing Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro
rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense
or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the
unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related
expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Lender in its
capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting
for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Lender in
connection with such capacity.  The obligations of the Lenders under
this clause (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 4.7.

     

    (d)  Waiver of Consequential
Damages, Etc.  To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable
Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any
Indemnitee, 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 Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds
thereof.  No Indemnitee referred to in clause (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 systems in connection with this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby.

     

    (e)  Payments.  All
amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after demand
therefor.

     

    Section
13.4  Right of
Set-off.  If
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each
Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is
hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any
time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such
Lender, such Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any such Affiliate to or
for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Credit Party against
any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Credit Party now or
hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such
Lender, such Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, irrespective of whether or
not such Lender, such Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender shall have made any
demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such
obligations of the Borrower or such Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured
or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender, such Issuing Lender or the
Swingline Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or
obligated on such indebtedness.  The rights of each Lender, such
Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and their respective Affiliates under this
Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of
setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or their
respective Affiliates may have.  Each Lender, each Issuing Lender and
the Swingline Lender agree to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and
application.

     

    Section
13.5  Governing Law, Jurisdiction,
Etc.

     

    (a)  Governing
Law.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, unless
expressly set forth therein, shall be governed by, construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, including Section 5-1401 and
Section 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, without
reference to any other conflicts of law principles thereof.

     

    (b)  Submission to
Jurisdiction.  The Borrower
irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the
nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in the
Borough of Manhattan, City of New York and of the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York and any appellate court from any thereof,
in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each
of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in
respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New
York state court or, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, in such
Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law.  Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan
Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any
Issuing Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties
in the courts of any jurisdiction.

     

    (c)  Waiver of
Venue.  The Borrower irrevocably
and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law,
any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this
Section.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum
to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

     

    (d)  Service of
Process.  Each party hereto irrevocably
consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section
13.1.  Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any
party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable
Law.

     

    Section
13.6  Waiver of Jury
Trial.

     

    (a)  EACH
PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED
ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO
(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON
HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN
THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO
ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS,
THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

     

    Section
13.7  Reversal of
Payments.  To
the extent the Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent
for the ratable benefit of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent receives any
payment or proceeds of the collateral which payments or proceeds or any part
thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party
under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause,
then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds repaid, the Obligations or part
thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force
and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the
Administrative Agent.

     

    Section
13.8  Injunctive
Relief.  The
Borrower recognizes that, in the event the Borrower fails to perform, observe or
discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy
of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Lenders. Therefore, the Borrower
agrees that the Lenders, at the Lenders’ option, shall be entitled to temporary
and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of
proving actual damages.

     

    Section
13.9  Accounting
Matters.  If
at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial
ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Borrower or
the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and
the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to
preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to
the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until
so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in
accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Borrower
shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements
and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested
hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or
requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in
GAAP.

     

    Section
13.10  Successors and Assigns;
Participations.

     

    (a)  Successors and Assigns
Generally.  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 neither the Borrower nor
any other Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the
provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in
accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section or (iii) by way
of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of
paragraph (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by
any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed 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 paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the
extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

     

    (b)  Assignments by
Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to
it); provided
that any such assignment shall be subject to the following
conditions:

     

    (i)  Minimum
Amounts.

     

    (A)  in the
case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment
to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount
need be assigned; and

     

    (B)  in any
case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount
of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder)
or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal
outstanding balance of the Loans 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 Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date”
is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not
be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise
consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the
Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent five (5) Business Days after
the date written notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender
(through the Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by
the Borrower prior to such fifth (5th) Business Day;

     

    (ii)  Required
Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment
except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B)
of this Section and, in addition:

     

    (A)  the
consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender,
an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

     

    (B)  the
consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment if such assignment is
to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender
or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

     

    (C)  the
consents of the applicable Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender (such
consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any
assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in
exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding)
or for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility.

     

    (iii)  Assignment and
Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with
a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment, and the assignee, if it is
not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire.

     

    (iv)  No Assignment to
Borrower.  No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or
any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

     

    (v)  No Assignment to Natural
Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to a natural
person.

     

    Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in
each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this
Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder 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 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 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 and 13.3 with respect to
facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such
assignment.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall
be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of
this Section.

     

    (c)  Register.  The
Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Charlotte, North Carolina, a
copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of,
and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms
hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for
all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Borrower and any Lender (but only to the extent of entries in the Register that
are applicable to such Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time
upon reasonable prior notice.

     

    (d)  Participations.  Any
Lender may at
any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural
person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries)
(each, a “Participant”) in all
or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it);
provided that
(i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii)
such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the other Lenders 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, modification or waiver or
modification described in Section 13.2 that
directly affects such Participant and could not be affected by a vote of the
Required Lenders.  Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.8, 4.9, 4.10 and 4.11 to the same
extent as if it was a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.  To the extent permitted by
law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.4 as
though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.6 as though
it were a Lender.

     

    (e)  Limitations upon Participant
Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any
greater payment under Sections 4.10 and
4.11 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 Borrower’s 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 4.11 unless
the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 4.11(e) as
though it were a Lender.

     

    (f)  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 to
secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or
assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such
pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto.

     

    Section
13.11  Confidentiality.  Each
of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that
Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its
Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents,
advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom
such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the
extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction
over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by
Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d)
to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or any Hedging Agreement with a
Lender or the Administrative Agent) or the enforcement of rights hereunder or
thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the
same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any
prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement, Participant or proposed Participant, or (ii) any actual or
prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction
relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the
Borrower, (h) to Gold
Sheets and other similar bank trade publications, such information to
consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such
publications, or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any of
their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than
the Borrower.  For purposes of this Section, “Information” means
all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating
to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
businesses, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender on a nonconfidential
basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the
case of information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after
the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery
as confidential.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality
of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied
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
accord to its own confidential information.

     

    Section
13.12  Performance of
Duties.  Each
of the Credit Party’s obligations under this Agreement and each of the other
Loan Documents shall be performed by such Credit Party at its sole cost and
expense.

     

    Section
13.13  All Powers Coupled with
Interest.  All
powers of attorney and other authorizations granted to the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and any Persons designated by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so
long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied, any of the
Aggregate Commitment remains in effect or the Credit Facility has not been
terminated.

     

    Section
13.14  Survival of
Indemnities.  Notwithstanding
any termination of this Agreement, the indemnities to which the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of this Article XIII and any
other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in
full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
against events arising after such termination as well as before.

     

    Section
13.15  Titles and
Captions.  Titles
and captions of Articles, Sections and subsections in, and the table of contents
of, this Agreement are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the
provisions of this Agreement.

     

    Section
13.16  Severability of
Provisions.  Any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating
the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or
affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

     

    Section
13.17  Counterparts; Integration;
Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

     

    (a)  Counterparts; Integration;
Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts
(and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a
single contract.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any
separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative
Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings,
oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  In the event
of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other
Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the
inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict
with this Agreement.  Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint
participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither
against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair
meaning thereof.  Except as provided in Section 5.2, this
Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received
counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of
the other parties hereto.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a
signature page of this agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

     

    (b)  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 Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act,
the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar
state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

     

    Section
13.18  Term of
Agreement.  This
Agreement shall remain in effect from the Closing Date through and including the
date upon which all Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full
and the Aggregate Commitment has been terminated.  No termination of
this Agreement shall affect the rights and obligations of the parties hereto
arising prior to such termination or in respect of any provision of this
Agreement which survives such termination.

     

    Section
13.19  USA Patriot
Act.  The
Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant
to the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies the Borrower and Guarantors, which information includes the name and
address of each Borrower and Guarantor and other information that will allow
such Lender to identify such Borrower or Guarantor in accordance with the
Act

     

    Section
13.20  Advice of Counsel; No Strict
Construction.  Each
of the parties represents to each other party hereto that it has discussed this
Agreement with its counsel.  The parties hereto have participated
jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.  In the
event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this
Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no
presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by
virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

     

    Section
13.21  Inconsistencies with Other
Documents; Independent Effect of Covenants.

     

    (a)  In the
event there is a conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any other
Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall control; provided that any
provision of the Security Documents which imposes additional burdens on the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or further restricts the rights of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or gives the Administrative Agent or Lenders
additional rights shall not be deemed to be in conflict or inconsistent with
this Agreement and shall be given full force and effect.

     

    (b)  The
Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that each covenant contained in Articles VIII, IX, or X hereof shall be
given independent effect.  Accordingly, the Borrower shall not engage
in any transaction or other act otherwise permitted under any covenant contained
in Articles
VIII, IX, or X if, before or after
giving effect to such transaction or act, the Borrower shall or would be in
breach of any other covenant contained in Articles VIII, IX, or X.

"Subsidiary
Guaranty"), dated as of July 31, 2007, is made by certain Subsidiaries of
LMI AEROSPACE, INC., a Missouri corporation (such Subsidiaries, collectively,

and other financial institutions from time to time party thereto (the "Lenders") and the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders have agreed to make Extensions of Credit to
the Borrower upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth

executed and delivered this Subsidiary Guaranty to the Administrative Agent, for
the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties.

    

    NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by
the parties hereto, and to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to
enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make their
respective Extensions of Credit to the Borrower thereunder, the Subsidiary
Guarantors hereby agree with the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit
of the Secured Parties, as follows:

GUARANTY

     

    SECTION
2.1                                Subsidiary Guaranty.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally with the other
Subsidiary Guarantors, unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent
for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and their respective permitted
successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt payment and
performance of all Obligations, whether primary or secondary (whether by way of
endorsement or otherwise), whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether or
not from time to time reduced or extinguished (except by payment thereof) or
hereafter increased or incurred, whether enforceable or unenforceable as against
the Parent, the Borrower or any other Person, whether or not discharged, stayed
or otherwise affected by any Applicable Insolvency Law or proceeding thereunder,
whether created directly with the Administrative Agent or any other Secured
Party or acquired by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party through
assignment or endorsement or otherwise, whether matured or unmatured, whether
joint or several, as and when the same become due and payable (whether at
maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration, mandatory repayment or
otherwise), in accordance with the terms of any such instruments evidencing any
such obligations, including all renewals, extensions or modifications thereof
(all of the foregoing being hereafter collectively referred to as the "Guaranteed
Obligations").

    

    SECTION
2.2                                Bankruptcy Limitations on
Subsidiary Guarantors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in. Section 2.1
it is the intention of each Subsidiary Guarantor and the Secured Parties that,
in any proceeding involving the bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment of debts, relief of debtors, dissolution or insolvency or any similar
proceeding with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor or its assets, the amount of
such Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations shall be equal to, but not in excess of, the maximum amount thereof
not subject to avoidance or recovery by operation of Applicable Insolvency Laws
after giving effect to Section 2.3(a). To
that end, but only in the event and to the extent that after giving effect to
Section 2.3(a)
such Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations or any payment made pursuant to such Guaranteed Obligations would,
but for the operation of the first sentence of this Section 2.2 be
subject to avoidance or recovery in any such proceeding under Applicable
Insolvency Laws after giving effect to Section 2.3(a) the
amount of such Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations shall be limited to the largest amount which, after giving effect
thereto, would not, under Applicable Insolvency Laws, render such Subsidiary
Guarantor's obligations with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations unenforceable
or avoidable or otherwise subject to recovery under Applicable Insolvency Laws.
To the extent any payment actually made pursuant to the Guaranteed Obligations
exceeds the limitation of the first sentence of this Section 2.2 and is
otherwise subject to avoidance and recovery in any such proceeding under
Applicable Insolvency Laws, the amount subject to avoidance shall in all events
be limited to the amount by which such actual payment exceeds such limitation
and the Guaranteed Obligations as limited by the first sentence of this Section 2.2 shall in
all events remain in full force and effect and be fully enforceable against such
Subsidiary Guarantor. The first sentence of this Section 2.2 is
intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder
against such Subsidiary Guarantor in such proceeding to the maximum extent
permitted by Applicable Insolvency Laws and neither the Parent, the Borrower,
such Subsidiary Guarantor, any other Subsidiary Guarantor, any other guarantor,
nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under such sentence that
would not otherwise be available under Applicable Insolvency Laws in such
proceeding.

     

    SECTION
2.3                                Agreements for
Contribution.

     

    (a)           Right of
Contribution. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree among themselves
that, if any Subsidiary Guarantor shall make an Excess Payment (as defined
below), such Subsidiary Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each
other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Subsidiary
Guarantor's Contribution Share (as defined below) of such Excess Payment. The
payment obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Section 2.3(a) shall
be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations
until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations (other than (i) any contingent
indemnity obligations not yet due and (ii) the Specified Obligations) have been
indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Revolving Credit Commitment
terminated, and none of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall exercise any right or
remedy under this Section 2.3(a)
against any other Subsidiary Guarantor until such Guaranteed Obligations (other
than (i) any contingent indemnity obligations not yet due and (ii) the Specified
Obligations) have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Revolving
Credit Commitment terminated. For purposes of this Section 2.3(a), (i)
"Excess
Payment" shall mean the amount paid by any Subsidiary Guarantor in excess
of its Ratable Share (as defined below) of any Guaranteed Obligations; (ii)
"Ratable Share"
shall mean, for any Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of any payment of Guaranteed
Obligations, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such
payment of Guaranteed Obligations of (A) the amount by which the aggregate
present fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the
amount of all debts and liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including
probable contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but
excluding the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder) to (B) the
amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and other
properties of all of the Subsidiary Guarantors exceeds the amount of all of the
debts and liabilities (including probable contingent, subordinated, unmatured,
and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Subsidiary
Guarantors hereunder) of all of the Subsidiary Guarantors; provided, however, that, for
purposes of calculating the Ratable Shares of the Subsidiary Guarantors in
respect of any payment of Guaranteed Obligations, any Subsidiary Guarantor that
became a Subsidiary Guarantor subsequent to the date of any such payment shall
be deemed to have been a Subsidiary Guarantor on the date of such payment and
the financial information for such Subsidiary Guarantor as of the date such
Subsidiary Guarantor became a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be utilized for such
Subsidiary Guarantor in connection with such payment; and (iii) "Contribution Share"
shall mean, for any Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of any Excess Payment made
by any other Subsidiary Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of
the date of such Excess Payment of (A) the amount by which the aggregate present
fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all
debts and liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including probable
contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding
the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder) to (B) the amount by
which the aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and other
properties of all of the Subsidiary Guarantors other than the maker of such
Excess Payment exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including
probable contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but
excluding the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors) of all of the Subsidiary
Guarantors other than the maker of such Excess Payment; provided, however, that, for
purposes of calculating the Contribution Shares of the Subsidiary Guarantors in
respect of any Excess Payment, any Subsidiary Guarantor that became a Subsidiary
Guarantor subsequent to the date of any such Excess Payment shall be deemed to
have been a Subsidiary Guarantor on the date of such Excess Payment and. the
financial information for such Subsidiary Guarantor as of the date such
Subsidiary Guarantor became a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be utilized for such
Subsidiary Guarantor in connection with such Excess Payment. Each of the
Subsidiary Guarantors recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to
contribution arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party
entitled to such contribution. This Section 2.3 shall not
be deemed to affect any right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or
contribution that any Subsidiary Guarantor may have under Applicable Law against
the Borrower in respect of any payment of Guaranteed Obligations.

     

    (b)           No Subrogation.
Notwithstanding any payment or payments by any of the Subsidiary Guarantors
hereunder, or any set-off or application of funds of any of the Subsidiary
Guarantors by the Administrative Agent, the Control Agent or any other Secured
Party, or the receipt of any amounts by the Administrative Agent, the Control
Agent or any other Secured Party with respect to any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, none of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be entitled to be
subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Control Agent
or any other Secured Party against the Parent, the Borrower, the other
Subsidiary Guarantors, any other guarantor, any other Person or against any
collateral security held by the Administrative Agent, the Control Agent or any
other Secured Party for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations nor shall any
of the Subsidiary Guarantors seek any reimbursement from the Parent, the
Borrower, any of the other Subsidiary Guarantors, any other guarantor or any
other Person in respect of payments made by such Subsidiary Guarantor in
connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, until all amounts owing to the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on account of the Guaranteed
Obligations (other than (i) any contingent indemnity obligations not yet due and
(ii) the Specified Obligations) are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the
Revolving Credit Commitment is terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any
Subsidiary Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all
of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than (i) any contingent indemnity
obligations not yet due and (ii) the Specified Obligations) shall not have been
indefeasibly paid in cash in full, such amount shall be held by such Subsidiary
Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent, segregated from other funds of
such Subsidiary Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Subsidiary
Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received
by such Subsidiary Guarantor (duly endorsed by such Subsidiary Guarantor to the
Administrative Agent, if required) to be applied against the Guaranteed
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as set forth in the
Credit Agreement.

    

    SECTION
2.4                                Nature of Subsidiary
Guaranty.

     

    (a)           Each
Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that this Subsidiary Guaranty is a continuing,
unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, and
that its obligations under this Subsidiary Guaranty shall be primary, absolute
and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by:

    

    
      
        	
                (i)

              	
                the
      genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment
      of, or change in, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any
      Specified Hedge Agreement, any Specified Cash Management Arrangement or
      any other agreement, document or instrument to which the Parent, the
      Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries
      or Affiliates is or may become a
party;

              

      

    

    

    
      
        	
                (ii)

              	
                the
      absence of any action to enforce this Subsidiary Guaranty, the Credit
      Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Specified Hedge Agreement or any
      Specified Cash Management Arrangement, or the waiver or consent by the
      Administrative Agent, the Control Agent or any other Secured Party with
      respect to any of the provisions of this Subsidiary Guaranty, the Credit
      Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Specified Hedge Agreement or any
      Specified Cash Management
Arrangement;

              

      

    

    

    
      
        	
                (iii)

              	
                the
      existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against,
      any security for or other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any
      action, or the absence of any action, by the Administrative Agent, the
      Control Agent or any other Secured Party in respect of such security or
      guaranty (including, without limitation, the release of any such security
      or guaranty);

              

      

    

    

    
      
        	
                (iv)

              	
                any
      structural change in, restructuring of or other similar organizational
      change of the Parent, the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor, any other
      guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates;
      or

              

      

    

    

    
      
        	
                (v)

              	
                to
      the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any other action or circumstances
      which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense
      of a surety or guarantor (other than
payment);

              

      

    

    

    it being
agreed by each Subsidiary Guarantor that, subject to the first sentence of Section 2.2, its
obligations under this Subsidiary Guaranty shall not be discharged until the
final indefeasible payment and performance, in full, of the Guaranteed
Obligations (other than (A) any contingent indemnity obligations not yet due and
(B) the Specified Obligations) and the termination of the Revolving Credit
Commitment.

    

    (b)           Each
Subsidiary Guarantor represents, warrants and agrees that the Guaranteed
Obligations and its obligations under this Subsidiary Guaranty are not and shall
not be subject to any counterclaims, offsets or defenses of any kind (other than
the defense of payment) against the Administrative Agent, the Control Agent, the
other Secured Parties, the Parent or the Borrower whether now existing or which
may arise in the future.

    

    (c)           Each
Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Guaranteed
Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created,
contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance
upon this Subsidiary Guaranty, and all dealings between the Borrower and any of
the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the
other Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively
presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Subsidiary
Guaranty.

    

    SECTION
2.5                                Waivers. To the
extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Subsidiary Guarantor expressly waives
all of the following rights and defenses (and agrees not to take advantage of or
assert any such right or defense):

    

    (a)           any
rights it may now or in the future have under any statute, or at law or in
equity, or otherwise, to compel the Administrative Agent, the Control Agent or
any other Secured Party to proceed in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations
against the Parent, the Borrower, any other Subsidiary Guarantor, any other
guarantor or any other Person or against any security for or other guaranty of
the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations before proceeding
against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Subsidiary
Guarantor,

    

    (b)           any
defense based upon the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Control Agent or
any other Secured Party to commence an action in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations against the Parent, the Borrower, such Subsidiary Guarantor, any
other Subsidiary Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person or any
security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed
Obligations;

    

    (c)           any
right to insist upon, plead or in any manner whatever claim or take the benefit
or advantage of, any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshalling of
assets or redemption laws, or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in
force, which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance by such
Subsidiary Guarantor of its obligations under, or the enforcement by the
Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties of this Subsidiary
Guaranty;

    

    (d)           any
right of diligence, presentment, demand, protest and notice (except as
specifically required herein or in any other Loan Document) of whatever kind or
nature with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the benefit of all provisions of
Applicable Law which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this
Subsidiary Guaranty; and

    

    (e)           any
and all right to notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of
the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon, or acceptance of, this
Subsidiary Guaranty.

     

    Each
Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that any notice or directive given at any time to
the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party which is inconsistent with
any of the foregoing waivers shall be null and void and may be ignored by the
Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party, and, in addition, may not be
pleaded or introduced as evidence in any litigation relating to this Subsidiary
Guaranty for the reason that such pleading or introduction would be at variance
with the written terms of this Subsidiary Guaranty, unless the Administrative
Agent and the Required Lenders have specifically agreed otherwise in writing.
The foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the
Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Specified Hedge Agreements and
the Specified Cash Management Arrangements and, but for this Subsidiary Guaranty
and such waivers, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties would
decline to enter into the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the
Specified Hedge Agreements and the Specified Cash Management
Arrangements.

    

    SECTION
2.6                                Modification of Loan
Documents, etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured
Party shall incur any liability to any Subsidiary Guarantor as a result of any
of the following, and none of the following shall impair or release this
Subsidiary Guaranty or any of the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under
this Subsidiary Guaranty:

    

    (a)           any
change or extension of the manner, place or terms of payment of, or renewal or
alteration of all or any portion of, the Guaranteed Obligations;

    

    (b)           any
action under or in respect of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any
Specified Hedge Agreement or any Specified Cash Management Arrangement in the

been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation or surrender), this

    (a)           Each
Subsidiary Guarantor recognizes that, in the event such Subsidiary Guarantor

under this Subsidiary Guaranty or any other Loan Document, any remedy of law may

Parties. Therefore, each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that the Administrative
Agent and the other Secured Parties, at the option of the Administrative Agent
and the other Secured Parties, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent
injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual

remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No
delay or failure to take action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any
other Secured Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall

such right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder
on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which
the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any
future occasion. The enumeration of the rights and remedies of the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties set forth in this Subsidiary
Guaranty is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise by- the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties of any right or remedy shall
not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which shall be
cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or that may now or hereafter exist
at law or in equity or by suit or otherwise.

party to any Partnership/LLC Agreement or otherwise.

    

    (b)           Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Secured

shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective
successors, assigns and designated agents, as intended third party
beneficiaries.

Agent of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of
its duties or obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the
Collateral, (c) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any
obligation or liability under the contracts and agreements included in the
Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent or
any Lender be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any
Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for
payment assigned hereunder, and (d) neither the Administrative Agent nor any

    SECTION
3.1                                           Existence. Each
Grantor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, has the requisite power
and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its
business as now being and hereafter proposed to be conducted and is duly
qualified and authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in which the
character of its properties or the nature of its business requires such
qualification and authorization except in jurisdictions where the failure to be
so qualified or in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

    

    SECTION
3.2                                           Authorization of Agreement;
No Conflict. Each Grantor has the right, power and authority and has
taken all necessary corporate and other action to authorize the execution,
delivery and performance of, this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by the duly authorized officers of each Grantor and this
Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Grantors
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar state
or federal debtor relief laws from time to time in effect which affect the
enforcement of creditors' rights in general and the availability of equitable
remedies. The execution, delivery and performance by the Grantors of this
Agreement will not, by the passage of time, the giving of notice or otherwise,
violate any material provision of any Applicable Law or Material Contract and
will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, other than the
Security Interests, upon or with respect to any property or revenues of any
Grantor.

    

    SECTION
3.3                                           Consents. No
approval, consent, exemption, authorization or other action by, or notice to, or
filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is necessary or

Liens. Each financing statement naming any Grantor as a debtor is in
appropriate form for filing in the appropriate filing offices of the states
specified on Schedule
3.6. The Security Interests granted pursuant to this Agreement (a)
constitute valid security interests in all of the Collateral in favor of the
Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of itself and the Secured Parties,
as collateral security for the Obligations, and (b): (1) when UCC financing
statements containing an adequate description of the Collateral shall have been
filed in the offices specified in Schedule 3.6, the
Security Interests will constitute perfected security interests in all right,
title and interest of such Grantor in the Collateral to the extent that a
security interest therein may be perfected by filing pursuant to the UCC, prior
to all other Liens and rights of others therein except for Permitted Liens; (2)
when each Copyright security agreement has been filed with the United States
Copyright Office, the Security Interests will constitute perfected security
interests in all right, title and interest of such Grantor in the Intellectual
Property therein described, prior to all other Liens and rights of others
therein except for Permitted Liens; and (3) when each control agreement has been
executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Security Interests will
constitute perfected security interests in all right, title and interest of the
Grantors in the Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts, as applicable, subject
thereto, prior to all other Liens and rights of others therein and subject to no
adverse claims except for Permitted Liens.

    

    SECTION

Liens. Except for the Security Interests, each Grantor owns each item of
the Collateral free and clear of any and all Liens or claims other than
Permitted Liens. No financing statement under the UCC of any state which names a
Grantor as debtor or other public notice with respect to all or any part of the
Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except such as have
been filed in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of
itself and the Secured Parties, pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with
Permitted Liens. No Collateral is in the possession or Control of any Person
asserting any claim thereto or security interest therein, except that (a) the
Administrative Agent or its designee may have possession or Control of
Collateral as contemplated hereby, (b) a depositary bank may have Control of a
Deposit Account owned by a Grantor at such depositary bank and a Securities
Intermediary may have Control over a Securities Account owned by a Grantor at

Account control agreement or Securities Account control agreement, as applicable
and to the extent required by Article IV, in favor of the Administrative Agent,

Debtor. The amount represented by each Grantor to the Administrative Agent as
owing by each Account Debtor is, or will be, the correct amount actually and
unconditionally owing, except for ordinary course cash discounts and allowances

Agent, whether in any proceeding to enforce the Administrative Agent's rights in
the Collateral or otherwise except defenses, setoffs, claims or counterclaims
that would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on the value of
the Accounts. None of the Accounts is, nor will any hereafter arising Account

hereof.

ordinary course of business), processor, or any other third party, such Grantor
shall notify in writing such Person of the Security Interests created hereby,
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Person's written
agreement in writing to hold all such Collateral for the Administrative Agent's

Person to issue and deliver to the Administrative Agent warehouse receipts,
bills of lading or any similar documents relating to such Collateral to the
Administrative Agent's Office together with an Effective Endorsement and
Assignment; provided that if such
Grantor is not able to obtain such agreement and cause the delivery of such

authorizes the Administrative Agent to file or record financing statements and
other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the
Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such
offices as the Administrative Agent determines appropriate to perfect the
Security Interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Such
financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described
herein or may contain an indication or description of Collateral that describes
such property in any other manner as the Administrative Agent may determine, in
its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection
of the Security Interest in the Collateral granted herein, including, without
limitation, describing such property as "all assets" or "all personal property."

the Administrative Agent may require in connection with such test verifications.
At any time and from time to time, upon the Administrative Agent's request and
at the expense of the relevant Grantor, such Grantor shall cause independent
public accountants or others satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to furnish

PROVISIONS

     

    SECTION
5.1                                           General Remedies. If
an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, on
behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and
remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or
agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and
remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other Applicable Law. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without
demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or
notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or
upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses,
advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances
forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any
part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options
to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part
thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at
public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of
the Administrative Agent or any Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and
conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for
cash .or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.
The Administrative Agent may disclaim any warranties in connection with any sale
or other disposition of the Collateral, including, without limitation, any
warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment and the like. The
Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have the right upon any such public
sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale
or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of
any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is
hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative
Agent's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the
Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably
select, whether at such Grantor's premises or elsewhere. To the extent permitted
by Applicable Law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may
acquire against the Administrative Agent or any Lender arising out of the
exercise by them of any rights hereunder except to the extent any such claims,
damages, or demands result solely from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in each case against whom
such claim is asserted. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of
Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and
proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other
disposition.

      Agent, each Grantor shall notify (such notice to be in form and substance

      Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of itself and the Secured
      Parties;

                (iii)

              	
                whenever

      Account as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not
      constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section
      5.4;

              

      

    

    

    
      
        	
                (iv)

              	
                the
      Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash
      dividends, payments or distributions made in respect of any Investment
      Property, or Partnership/LLC Interests or other Proceeds paid in respect
      of any Investment Property, or Partnership/LLC Interests, and any or all
      of any Investment Property, or Partnership/LLC Interests shall be
      registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee, and the
      Administrative Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (A) all
      voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property,
      or Partnership/LLC Interests at any meeting of shareholders, partners or
      members of the relevant Issuers and (B) any and all rights of conversion,
      exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options
      pertaining to such Investment Property, or Partnership/LLC Interests as if

      Property; or Partnership/LLC Interests upon the merger, consolidation,
      reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the

      shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or
      option and the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall not be
      responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. In furtherance
      thereof, each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer with
      respect to any Collateral consisting of Investment Property and
      Partnership/LLC Interests to (i) comply with any instruction received by
      it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event
      of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) is otherwise in
      accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further
      instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer
      shall be fully protected in so complying following receipt of such notice
      and prior to notice that such Event of Default is no longer continuing,
      and (ii) except as otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any
      dividends, distributions or other payments with respect to any Investment
      Property, or Partnership/LLC Interests directly to the Administrative

      Administrative Agent shall be entitled to (but shall not be required to):
      (A) proceed to perform any and all obligations of the applicable Grantor
      under any Material Contract and exercise all rights of such Grantor
      thereunder as fully as such Grantor itself could, (B) do all other acts
      which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or proper to protect its
      Security Interest granted hereunder, provided such acts are not
      inconsistent with or in violation of the terms of any of the Credit
      Agreement, of the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law, and (C) sell,
      assign or otherwise transfer any Material Contract in accordance with the
      Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Applicable Law, subject,

    Contract.

              

      

    

     

    (c)           Unless
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative
Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Administrative
Agent's intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 5.2(b), each
Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends, payments or other
distributions made in respect of any Investment Property and Partnership/LLC
Interests, in each case paid in the normal course of business of the relevant
Issuer and consistent with past practice, to the extent permitted in the Credit
Agreement, and to exercise all voting and other corporate, company and
partnership rights with respect to any Investment Property and Partnership/LLC
Interests; provided that, no
vote shall be cast or other corporate, company and partnership right exercised
or other action taken which, in the Administrative Agent's reasonable judgment,
would impair the Collateral in any material respect or which would result in a
Default or Event of Default under any provision of the Credit Agreement, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document.

     

    SECTION
5.3                                           Registration
Rights.

     

    (a)           If
the Administrative Agent shall determine that in order to exercise its right to
sell any or all of the Collateral it is necessary or advisable to have such
Collateral registered under the provisions of the Securities Act (any such
Collateral, the "Restricted Securities
Collateral"), the relevant Grantor will cause each applicable Issuer (and
the officers and directors thereof) to (i) execute and deliver all such
instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may
be, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, necessary or advisable to
register such Restricted Securities Collateral, or that portion thereof to be
sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to
become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date
of the first public offering of such Restricted Securities Collateral, or that
portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the
related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, are
necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to cause each applicable
Issuer (and the officers and directors thereof) to comply with the provisions of
the securities or "Blue Sky" laws of any and all jurisdictions which the
Administrative Agent shall designate and to make available to its security
holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be
audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section II (a) of the Securities
Act.

    

    (b)           Each
Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a
public sale of any or all the Restricted Securities Collateral, by reason of
certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more
private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged
to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account
for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each
Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices
and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be
deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative
Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Restricted
Securities Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer
thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or
under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do
so.

    

    (c)           Each
Grantor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be
done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all
or any portion of the Restricted Securities Collateral valid and binding and in
compliance with any and all other Applicable Laws. Each Grantor further agrees
that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 5.3, will
cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties,
that the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at
law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every
covenant contained in this Section 5.3, shall be
specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives
and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance
of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred
under the Credit Agreement.

    

    SECTION
5.4                                           Application of
Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, at any time at the Administrative Agent's election, the
Administrative Agent may apply all or any part of the Collateral or any Proceeds
of the Collateral in payment in whole or in part of the Obligations (after
deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection
therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or
in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent
and the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements) in accordance with Section 11.4 of the
Credit Agreement. Only after (a) the payment by the Administrative Agent of any
other amount required by any provision of Applicable Law, including, without
limitation, Section 9-610 and Section 9-615 of the UCC and (b) the payment in
full of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments, shall the
Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor, or to
whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same (if such Person is not a
Grantor).

     

    SECTION
5.5                                           Waiver, Deficiency.
Each Grantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all
rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now
or hereafter in force under any Applicable Law in order to prevent or delay the
enforcement of this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any
portion thereof. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the
proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to
pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender to collect such deficiency.

      (H) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect

      purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent's option and such Grantor's
      expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the
      Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon
      the Collateral and the Administrative Agent's and the Secured Parties'
      Security Interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all
      as fully and effectively as such Grantor might
  do.

              

      

    

     

    (b)           If
any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained

    SECTION
6.2                                           Duty of Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent's sole duty with respect to the custody,
safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under
Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same
manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own
account. Neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any of their
respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure
to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in
doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any
Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any
other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The
powers conferred on the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder
are solely to protect the Administrative Agent's and the Secured Parties'
interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any such powers. The
Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for
amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers,
and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall
be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except
for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

    

    SECTION
6.3                                           Authority of Administrative
Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of
the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken
by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the
Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other
right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this
Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, be
governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect
thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the
Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full
and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be
under any obligation, or entitlement to make any inquiry respecting such
authority.

Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived,
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 13.2 of the

    SECTION
7.3                                           No Waiver by Course of

Lender shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.1), delay,
indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy
hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure
to exercise, nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Administrative Agent
or any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be
construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such
Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies
herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are
not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

through the contract term.

      Litigation:

       

      1.           In
February 2004, Versaform Corp. was served with a  grand jury subpoena
and Parent was informed that the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern
District of California, Department of Defense, Office of Inspector General,
Defense Criminal Investigative Service, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation
was conducting an investigation relating to structural components of B-52 engine
cowlings Versaform manufactured for Nordam Corporation, components of auxiliary
power units Versaform manufactured for Hamilton Sundstrand, a United
Technologies Company, and certain tools Versaform manufactured for Lockheed
Martin Corporation.  The subpoena related to the time period January
1, 1999 through February 6, 2004.  Documents responsive to the
subpoena have been produced.

       

      Neither
Borrower nor Versaform Corp. has been served with notice of any pending legal
action or claim by any governmental agency and neither has been advised of any
specifi9c allegations, although in general Borrower believes that the potential
claims relate to (a) allegedly not following appropriate quality control
procedures, and 9b) allegedly billing defense contractors (who billed the
federal government) for actions not completed.  The last contact by a
governmental agency with Versaform Corp., Borrower or their attorneys regarding
this matter was March 19, 2006.

      

      2.           In
May 2005, Parent presented a $4.0 million claim accompanied by supporting
documentation to a customer regarding a dispute over a price increase and
certain extraordinary costs we incurred.  In response, the customer
presented Parent with a claim for $9.5 million alleging certain of Parent’s
parts were non-conforming.  Parent has requested, but has not yet
received, substantive documentation supporting the customer’s
claim.  No lawsuit has been filed by either party.
