the mutuality of interests between such individuals and the Company's
stockholders; and (ii) to make equity based awards to Non-Employee
Directors, thereby creating a means to attract, retain and reward such
Non-Employee Directors and strengthen the mutuality of interests between
Non-Employee Directors and the Company's stockholders.

Committee.  The
Plan shall be administered and interpreted by the Committee.  If for
any reason the appointed Committee does not meet the requirements of Rule 16b-3
or Section 162(m) of the Code, such noncompliance with the requirements of Rule
16b-3 and Section 162(m) of the Code shall not affect the validity of Awards,

and subject to the terms of, a written agreement executed by the Company and the
Participant.  In particular, the Committee shall have the

      (a) to select
the Eligible Employees and Consultants to whom Awards may from time to time be
granted hereunder;

       

      (b) to

Consultants;

       

      (c) to
determine, in accordance with the terms of this Plan, the number of shares of
Common Stock to be covered by each Equity Award granted hereunder;

       

      (d) to
determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this
Plan, of any Award granted hereunder (including, but not limited to, the
exercise or purchase price (if any), any restriction or limitation, any vesting
schedule or acceleration thereof and any forfeiture restrictions or waiver
thereof, regarding any Award and the shares of Common Stock relating thereto,
based on such factors, if any, as the Committee shall determine, in its sole
discretion);

to Stock Options granted to Non-Employee Directors, Section

exercise Stock Options under this Plan or to purchase Awards under this Plan
(including shares of Common Stock);

       

      (g) to

Right or Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Right or whether an Award is intended to
satisfy Section 162(m) of the Code;

       

      (h) to
determine whether to require an Eligible Employee or Consultant, as a condition
of the granting of any Award, not to sell or otherwise dispose of shares of
Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option or an Award for a
period of time as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, following
the date of the acquisition of such Option or Award;

       

      (i) to
modify, extend or renew an Award, subject to Article XV
herein,  provided, however, that if an Award is modified, extended or
renewed and thereby deemed to be the issuance of a new Award under the Code or
the applicable accounting rules, the exercise price of an Award may continue to
be the original exercise price even if less than the Fair Market Value of the
Common Stock at the time of such modification, extension or renewal; provided
further, however, that such Award may be restructured to comply with Section
409A of the Code to avoid any adverse tax consequences, to the extent
applicable.

       

      3.3 Guidelines.  Subject
to Article XV hereof, the Committee shall have the authority to adopt, alter and

and interpret the terms and provisions of this Plan and any Award issued under
this Plan (and any agreements relating thereto); and to otherwise supervise the
administration of this Plan.  The Committee may correct any defect,
supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in this Plan or in any
agreement relating thereto in the manner and to the extent it shall deem
necessary to effectuate the purpose and intent of this Plan.  The
Committee may adopt special guidelines and provisions for persons who are
residing in, or subject to, the taxes of, Foreign Jurisdictions to comply with
applicable tax and securities laws and may impose any limitations and
restrictions that it deems necessary to comply with the applicable tax and
securities laws of such Foreign Jurisdictions.  To the extent
applicable, this Plan is intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code and
the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 and shall be limited, construed and
interpreted in a manner so as to comply therewith.

       

      3.4 Decisions
Final.  Any
decision, interpretation or other action made or taken in good faith by or at
the direction of the Company, the Board or the Committee (or any of its members)
arising out of or in connection with this Plan shall be within the absolute

binding and conclusive on the Company and all employees and Participants and
their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and
assigns.

Counsel.  The
Company, the Board or the Committee may consult with legal counsel, who may be
counsel for the Company or other counsel, with respect to its obligations or
duties hereunder, or with respect to any action or proceeding or any question of
law, and shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted by it
in good faith pursuant to the advice of such counsel.

        Any
decision or determination reduced to writing and signed by all the Committee
members in accordance with the By-Laws of the Company, shall be fully as
effective as if it had been made by a vote at a meeting duly called and
held.  The Committee shall keep minutes of its meetings and shall make
such rules and regulations for the conduct of its business as it shall deem
advisable.

      

       

      3.7 Designation of
Consultants/Liability.

       

      (a) The
Committee may designate employees of the Company and professional advisors to
assist the Committee in the administration of this Plan and may grant authority
to officers to execute agreements or other documents on behalf of the
Committee.

       

      (b) The
Committee may employ such legal counsel, consultants and agents as it may deem
desirable for the administration of this Plan and may rely upon any opinion

maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no officer of the Company or member
or former member of the Committee shall be liable for any action or
determination made in good faith with respect to this Plan or any Award granted
under it.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law or the
Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company and to the extent not
covered by insurance, each officer and member or former member of the Committee
shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against any cost or
expense (including reasonable fees of counsel reasonably acceptable to the
Company) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the
approval of the Company), and advanced amounts necessary to pay the foregoing at
the earliest time and to the fullest extent permitted, arising out of any act or
omission to act in connection with this Plan, except to the extent arising out
of such officer's, member's or former member's own fraud or bad
faith.  Such indemnification shall be in addition to any rights of
indemnification the officers, directors or members or former officers, directors
or members may have under applicable law or under the Certificate of
Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company or any
Affiliate.  Notwithstanding anything else herein, this indemnification

      SHARE AND
OTHER LIMITATIONS

       

      4.1 Shares.

       

      (a) General
Limitation.  The
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued or used for
reference purposes under this Plan or with respect to which Equity Awards may be
granted shall not exceed 8,962,500 shares of Common Stock (subject to any
increase or decrease pursuant to Section 4.2) with respect to all types of
Equity Awards (such aggregate number of shares includes shares
already issued pursuant to Equity Awards granted under the Plan
since its original inception).  The shares of Common Stock available
under this Plan may be either authorized and unissued Common Stock or Common
Stock held in or acquired for the treasury of the Company.  If any
Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan expires,
terminates or is canceled for any reason without having been exercised in full
or, with respect to Stock Options, the Company repurchases any Stock Option, the
number of shares of Common Stock underlying such unexercised or repurchased
Stock Option or any unexercised Stock Appreciation Right shall again be
available for the purposes of Equity Awards under this Plan.  If any
shares of Restricted Stock, Performance Shares or Performance Units awarded
under this Plan to a Participant are forfeited or repurchased by the Company for
any reason, the number of forfeited or repurchased shares of Restricted Stock,
Performance Shares or Performance Units shall again be available for the
purposes of Equity Awards under this Plan.  If a Tandem Stock
Appreciation Right is granted or a Limited

        Stock
Appreciation Right is granted in tandem with a Stock Option, such grant shall
only apply once against the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may
be issued under this Plan. In determining the number of shares of Common Stock
available for Equity Awards, if Common Stock has been exchanged by a Participant
as full or partial payment of exercise price or withholding taxes, or if the
number shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable has been reduced for the
payment of exercise price or withholding taxes, the number of shares of Common
Stock exchanged as payment for the payment of exercise price or withholding
taxes, or reduced, shall again be available for purposes of Equity Awards under
this Plan.

      

       

      (b) Individual
Participant Limitations.  (i)  The
maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to any Award of Stock Options,
Stock Appreciation Rights, Performance Shares or shares of Restricted Stock for
which the grant of such Award or the lapse of the relevant Restriction Period is
subject to the attainment of Performance Goals in accordance with Section
8.3(a)(ii) herein which may be granted under this Plan during any fiscal year of
the Company to each Eligible Employee or Consultant shall be 225,000 shares per
type of Award (which shall be subject to any increase or decrease pursuant to
Section 4.2), provided that the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for all
types of Equity Awards does not exceed 225,000 (which shall be subject to any
increase or decrease pursuant to Section 4.2) during any fiscal year of the
Company.  If a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right is granted or a Limited
Stock Appreciation Right is granted in tandem with a Stock Option, it shall
apply against the Eligible Employee's or Consultant's individual share
limitations for both Stock Appreciation Rights and Stock Options.

       

      (ii) There are
no annual individual Eligible Employee or Consultant share limitations on
Restricted Stock for which the grant of such Award or the lapse of the relevant
Restriction Period is not subject to attainment of Performance Goals in
accordance with Section 8.3(a)(ii) hereof.

       

      (iii) Performance
Units payable solely in cash shall be deemed to be cash incentive awards subject
to the limitation in Section 4.1(b)(v), and Performance Units payable in cash or
in shares of Common Stock shall be subject to the limitation in Section
4.1(b)(i) unless the Committee has, no later than the time performance goals are
specified for the Performance Units, designated such Performance Units as cash
incentive awards potentially settleable in shares, in which case the Performance
Units shall be subject to the limitation in Section 4.1(b)(v).

       

      (iv) The
individual Participant limitations set forth in this Section 4.1(b)(i) – (iv)
shall be cumulative; that is, to the extent that shares of Common Stock for
which Equity Awards are permitted to be granted to an Eligible Employee or a
Consultant during a fiscal year are not covered by an Award to such Eligible
Employee or Consultant in a fiscal year, the number of shares of Common Stock
available for Equity Awards to such Eligible Employee or Consultant shall
automatically increase in the subsequent fiscal years during the term of the
Plan until used.

       

      (v) The
maximum potential amount earnable under all cash incentive Awards granted under
this Plan for any fiscal year of the Company to each Eligible Employee shall be
such Eligible Employee’s “Annual Limit,” which in each fiscal year shall be $4
million plus the amount of the Eligible Person's unused Annual Limit as of the
close of the previous fiscal year.  This limitation is separate and
not affected by the number of Awards granted during such fiscal year subject to
the limitations under Section 4.1(b)(i) – (iv).  For this purpose, (i)
the potential amount earnable means the maximum amount potentially payable,
without regard to whether it is to be paid currently or on a deferred basis or
continues to be subject to any service requirement or other non-performance
condition, (ii) a Participant's Annual Limit is used to the extent an amount may
be potentially earned or paid under a cash incentive Award, regardless of
whether such amount is in fact earned or paid, and (iii) a cash incentive Award
is “granted” for the earliest fiscal year included in the Performance Cycle for
that Award, regardless of whether the terms of the Award do or do not create a

      4.2 Changes.

       

      (a) The
existence of this Plan and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect in any
way the right or power of the Board or the stockholders of the Company to make
or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in
the Company's capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of
the Company or any Affiliate, any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior
preference stock ahead of or affecting Common Stock, the dissolution or
liquidation of the Company or any Affiliate, any sale or transfer of all or part
of the assets or business of the Company or any Affiliate or any other corporate
act or proceeding.

       

      (b) Subject
to the provisions of Section 4.2(d), in the event of any such change in the
capital structure or business of the Company by reason of any stock split,
reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of shares,
recapitalization, or other change in the capital structure of the Company,
merger, consolidation, spin-off, reorganization, partial or complete
liquidation, issuance of rights or warrants to purchase any Common Stock or
securities convertible into Common Stock, or any other corporate transaction or
event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing and effected without
receipt of consideration by the Company, then the aggregate number and kind of
shares which thereafter may be issued under this Plan, the number and kind of
shares or other property (including cash) to be issued upon exercise of an
outstanding Stock Option or other Awards granted under this Plan and the
purchase price thereof shall be appropriately adjusted consistent with such
change in such manner as the Committee may deem equitable to prevent substantial
dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, Participants
under this Plan, and any such adjustment determined by the Committee in good
faith shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Company and all Participants
and employees and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors
and assigns.

       

      (c) Fractional
shares of Common Stock resulting from any adjustment in Options or Awards
pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or (b) shall be aggregated until, and eliminated at,
the time of exercise by rounding-down for fractions less than one-half and
rounding-up for fractions equal to or greater than one-half.  No cash
settlements shall be made with respect to fractional shares eliminated by
rounding.  Notice of any adjustment shall be given by the Committee to
each Participant whose Award has been adjusted and such adjustment (whether or
not such notice is given) shall be effective and binding for all purposes of
this Plan.

       

      (d) In the
event of a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving
entity or in the event of any transaction that results in the acquisition of
substantially all of the Company's outstanding Common Stock by a single person
or entity or by a group of persons and/or entities acting in concert, or in the
event of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets (all of the foregoing being referred to as "Acquisition Events"), then
the Committee may, in its sole discretion, terminate all outstanding Stock
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, effective as of the date of the
Acquisition Event, by delivering notice of termination to each Participant at
least 30 days prior to the date of consummation of the Acquisition Event, in
which case during the period from the date on which such notice of termination
is delivered to the consummation of the Acquisition Event, each such Participant
shall have the right to exercise in full all of his or her Stock Options and
Stock Appreciation Rights that are then outstanding (without regard to any
limitations on exercisability otherwise contained in the Stock Option or Award
Agreements), but any such exercise shall be contingent upon and subject to the
occurrence of the Acquisition Event, and, provided that, if the Acquisition
Event does not take place within a specified period after giving such notice for
any reason whatsoever, the notice and exercise pursuant thereto shall be null
and void.

       

      If an
Acquisition Event occurs but the Committee does not terminate the outstanding
Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights pursuant to this Section 4.2(d),
then the provisions of Section 4.2(b) shall apply.

      4.3 Minimum Purchase
Price.  Notwithstanding
any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if authorized but previously
unissued shares of Common Stock are issued under this Plan, such shares shall
not be issued for a consideration which is less than as permitted under
applicable law.

       

      4.4 Assumption of
Awards.  Awards
that were granted prior to the Effective Date under the (i) Comtech
Telecommunications Corp. 1982 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "1982 Plan"), and
(ii) the Comtech Telecommunications Corp. 1993 Incentive Stock Option Plan,
as amended, shall be transferred and assumed by this Plan as of the Effective
Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Awards shall continue to be
governed by the terms of the applicable agreement in effect prior to the
Effective Date.

      STOCK
OPTIONS

       

      6.1 Stock
Options.  Each
Stock Option granted hereunder shall be one of two types: (i) an Incentive
Stock Option intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code; or
(ii) a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

       

      6.2 Grants.  The
Committee shall have the authority to grant to any Eligible Employee one or more
Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options or both types of Stock
Options (in each case with or without Stock Appreciation Rights).  To
the extent that any Stock Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option
(whether because of its provisions or the time or manner of its exercise or
otherwise), such Stock Option or the portion thereof which does not qualify,
shall constitute a separate Non-Qualified Stock Option.  The Committee
shall have the authority to grant any Consultant one or more Non-Qualified Stock
Options (with or without Stock Appreciation Rights).  Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Plan to the contrary or any provision in an
agreement evidencing the grant of a Stock Option to the contrary, any Stock
Option granted to an Eligible Employee of an Affiliate (other than an Affiliate
which is a Parent or a Subsidiary) shall be a Non-Qualified Stock
Option.

       

      6.3 Terms of Stock
Options.  Stock
Options granted under this Plan shall be subject to the following terms and
conditions, and shall be in such form and contain such additional terms and
conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall
deem desirable:

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          15

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (a) Exercise
Price.  The
exercise price per share of Common Stock purchasable under an Incentive Stock
Option or a Stock Option intended to be "performance-based" for purposes of
Section 162(m) of the Code shall be determined by the Committee at the time of
grant, but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the share of
Common Stock at the time of grant; provided, however, that if an Incentive Stock
Option is granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder, the exercise price shall be no
less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock.  The
exercise price per share of Common Stock purchasable under a Non-Qualified Stock
Option shall be determined by the Committee; provided, that if the exercise
price is less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time
of grant it is intended that such Award will be structured to comply with
Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable.

       

      (b) Stock
Option Term.  The
term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee; provided, however,
that no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date such
Stock Option is granted; and further provided that the term of an Incentive
Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder shall not exceed 5
years.

       

      (c) Exercisability.  Stock
Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and
conditions as shall be determined by the Committee at grant.  If the
Committee provides, in its discretion, that any Stock Option is exercisable
subject to certain limitations (including, without limitation, that such Stock
Option is exercisable only in installments or within certain time periods), the
Committee may waive such limitations on the exercisability at any time at or
after grant in whole or in part (including, without limitation, waiver of the
installment exercise provisions or acceleration of the time at which such Stock
Option may be exercised), based on such factors, if any, as the Committee shall
determine, in its sole discretion.

       

      (d) Method
of Exercise.  Subject
to whatever installment exercise and waiting period provisions apply under
subsection (c) above, Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any
time and from time to time during the Stock Option term by giving written notice
of exercise to the Secretary of the Company specifying the number of shares to
be purchased.  Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of
the purchase price as follows:  (i) in cash or by check, bank
draft or money order payable to the order of the Company; (ii) to the
extent permitted by law, if the Common Stock is traded on a national securities
exchange, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or quoted on a national quotation system
sponsored by the National Association of Securities Dealers, through a "cashless
exercise" procedure whereby the Participant delivers irrevocable instructions to
a broker satisfactory to the Company to deliver promptly to the Company an
amount equal to the purchase price; or (iii) on such other terms and
conditions as may be acceptable to the Committee (including, without limitation,
the relinquishment of Stock Options or by payment in full or in part in the form
of Common Stock owned by the Participant (and for which the Participant has good
title free and clear of any liens and encumbrances) based on the Fair Market
Value of the Common Stock on the payment date as determined by the
Committee).  No shares of Common Stock shall be issued until payment
therefore, as provided herein, has been made or provided for.

       

      (e) Incentive
Stock Option Limitations.  To
the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of
grant) of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by an Eligible Employee during any calendar year
under this Plan and/or any other stock option plan of the Company, any
Subsidiary or any Parent exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as
Non-Qualified Stock Options.  In addition, if an Eligible Employee
does not remain employed by the Company, any Subsidiary or any Parent at all
times from the time an Incentive Stock Option is granted until 3 months prior to
the date of exercise thereof (or such other period as required by applicable
law), such Stock Option shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock
Option.  Should any provision of this Plan not be necessary in order
for the Stock Options to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, or should any
additional provisions be required, the Committee may amend this Plan
accordingly, without the necessity of obtaining the approval of the stockholders
of the Company.

       

      (f) Form,
Modification, Extension and Renewal of Stock Options.  Subject
to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of this Plan, Stock
Options shall be evidenced by

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          16

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

         

        such form
of agreement or grant as is approved by the Committee, and the Committee may (i)
modify, extend or renew outstanding Stock Options granted under this Plan;
provided that the rights of a Participant are not reduced without his consent;
provided further, that any such modification, extension or renewal is intended
to be structured to comply with Section 409A of the Code, to the extent
applicable, and (ii) accept the surrender of outstanding Stock Options (up
to the extent not theretofore exercised) and authorize the granting of new Stock
Options in substitution therefor (to the extent not theretofore
exercised).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless approved by
stockholders of the Company, (i) an outstanding Option or SAR may not be
modified to reduce the exercise price thereof, (ii) no new Option or SAR at a
lower exercise price or base price may be substituted for a surrendered Option
or SAR, and (iii) no other Award may be issued or cash may be paid in exchange
for the surrender of an Option or SAR at a time that the exercise or base price
of such Option or SAR exceeds the current Fair Market Value of a share of Common
Stock or if such new Award or cash has a value in excess of the then
in-the-money value of the surrendered Option or SAR, provided that adjustments
or substitutions in accordance with Section 4.2 are not subject to this
stockholder approval requirement.

      

       

      (g) Other
Terms and Conditions.  Stock
Options may contain such other provisions, which shall not be inconsistent with
any of the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall deem appropriate
including, without limitation, permitting "reloads" such that the same number of
Stock Options are granted as the number of Stock Options exercised, shares used
to pay for the exercise price of Stock Options or shares used to pay withholding
taxes ("Reloads").  With respect to Reloads, the exercise price of the
new Stock Option shall be the Fair Market Value on the date of the "reload" and
the term of the Stock Option shall be the same as the remaining term of the
Stock Options that are exercised, if applicable, or such other exercise price
and term as determined by the Committee.

       

      (h) Detrimental
Activity.  Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee at grant, (i) in the event the
Participant engages in Detrimental Activity prior to any exercise of the Stock
Option, all Stock Options (whether vested or unvested) held by the
Participant shall thereupon terminate and expire, (ii) as a condition of
the exercise of a Stock Option, the Participant shall be required to certify (or
shall be deemed to have certified) at the time of exercise in a manner
acceptable to the Company that the Participant is in compliance with the terms
and conditions of the Plan and that the Participant has not engaged in, and does
not intend to engage in, any Detrimental Activity, and (iii) in the event
the Participant engages in Detrimental Activity during the one year period
following the later of (x) Participant's Termination of Employment or
(y) the date the Stock Option is exercised, that any Stock Options shall be
immediately forfeited (whether or not then vested) and the Company shall be
entitled to recover from the Participant at any time within one year after the
later of (x) or (y), and the Participant shall pay over to the Company, an
amount equal to any gain realized as a result of the exercise of any Stock
Options (whether at the time of exercise or thereafter).

      STOCK
APPRECIATION RIGHTS

       

      7.1 Tandem Stock Appreciation
Rights.  Stock
Appreciation Rights may be granted in conjunction with all or part of any Stock
Option (a "Reference Stock Option") granted under this Plan ("Tandem Stock
Appreciation Rights").  In the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option,
such rights may be granted either at or after the time of the grant of such
Reference Stock Option.  In the case of an Incentive Stock Option,
such rights may be granted only at the time of the grant of such Reference Stock
Option.  Consultants shall not be eligible for a grant of Tandem Stock
Appreciation Rights granted in conjunction with all or part of an Incentive
Stock Option.

       

      7.2 Terms and Conditions of
Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights.  Tandem
Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions, not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan, as shall be determined from time
to time by the Committee, including Article XII and the following:

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          17

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (a) Term.  A
Tandem Stock Appreciation Right or applicable portion thereof granted with
respect to a Reference Stock Option shall terminate and no longer be exercisable
upon the termination or exercise of the Reference Stock Option, except that,
unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at the
time of grant, a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right granted with respect to less
than the full number of shares covered by the Reference Stock Option shall not
be reduced until and then only to the extent the exercise or termination of the
Reference Stock Option causes the number of shares covered by the Tandem Stock
Appreciation Right to exceed the number of shares remaining available and
unexercised under the Reference Stock Option.

       

      (b) Exercisability.  Tandem
Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to
the extent that the Reference Stock Options to which they relate shall be
exercisable in accordance with the provisions of Article VI and this Article
VII.

       

      (c) Method
of Exercise.  A
Tandem Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by a Participant by
surrendering the applicable portion of the Reference Stock
Option.  Upon such exercise and surrender, the Participant shall be
entitled to receive an amount determined in the manner prescribed in this
Section 7.2.  Stock Options which have been so surrendered, in whole
or in part, shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the related Tandem
Stock Appreciation Rights have been exercised.

       

      (d) Payment.  Upon
the exercise of a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right, a Participant shall be
entitled to receive up to, but no more than, an amount in Common Stock equal in
value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock over
the option price per share specified in the Reference Stock Option, multiplied
by the number of shares in respect of which the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right
shall have been exercised.

       

      (e) Deemed
Exercise of Reference Stock Option.  Upon
the exercise of a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right, the Reference Stock Option or
part thereof to which such Stock Appreciation Right is related shall be deemed
to have been exercised for the purpose of the limitation set forth in Article IV
of this Plan on the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued under this
Plan.

       

      (f) Detrimental
Activity.  Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee at grant, (i) in the event the
Participant engages in Detrimental Activity prior to any exercise of Tandem
Stock Appreciation Rights, all Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights (whether vested
or unvested) held by the Participant shall thereupon terminate and expire,
(ii) as a condition of the exercise of a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right,
the Participant shall be required to certify (or shall be deemed to have
certified) at the time of exercise in a manner acceptable to the Company that
the Participant is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and
that the Participant has not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, any
Detrimental Activity, and (iii) in the event the Participant engages in
Detrimental Activity during the one year period following the later of
(x) Participant's Termination of Employment or (y) the date the Tandem
Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, that any Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights
shall be immediately forfeited (whether or not then vested) and the Company
shall be entitled to recover from the Participant at any time within one year
after the later of (x) or (y), and the Participant shall pay over to the
Company, an amount equal to any gain realized as a result of the exercise
(whether at the time of exercise or thereafter).

       

      7.3 Non-Tandem Stock
Appreciation Rights.  Non-Tandem
Stock Appreciation Rights may also be granted without reference to any Stock
Option granted under this Plan.

       

      7.4 Terms and Conditions of
Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights.  Non-Tandem
Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions, not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan, as shall be determined from time
to time by the Committee, including Article XII and the following:

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          18

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (a) Term.  The
term of each Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall be fixed by the
Committee, but shall not be greater than ten (10) years after the date the right
is granted.

       

      (b) Exercisability.  Non-Tandem
Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject
to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee at
grant.  If the Committee provides, in its discretion, that any such
right is exercisable subject to certain limitations (including, without
limitation, that it is exercisable only in installments or within certain time
periods), the Committee may waive such limitation on the exercisability at any
time at or after grant in whole or in part (including, without limitation,
waiver of  the installment exercise provisions or acceleration of the
time at which rights may be exercised), based on such factors, if any, as the
Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion.

       

      (c) Method
of Exercise.  Subject
to whatever installment exercise and waiting period provisions apply under
subsection (b) above, Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised in
whole or in part at any time and from time to time during the term, by giving
written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Non-Tandem
Stock Appreciation Rights to be exercised.

       

      (d) Payment.  Upon
the exercise of a Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Right a Participant shall be
entitled to receive, for each right exercised, up to, but no more than, an
amount in cash and/or Common Stock (as chosen by the Committee in its sole
discretion at grant, or thereafter if no rights of a Participant are reduced)
equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common
Stock on the date the right is exercised over the Fair Market Value of one share
of Common Stock on the date the right was awarded to the Participant; provided,
that if payment is made in cash such payment shall be structured to comply with
Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable.

       

      (e) Detrimental
Activity.  Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee at grant, (i) in the event the
Participant engages in Detrimental Activity prior to any exercise of Non-Tandem
Stock Appreciation Rights, all Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights (whether
vested or unvested) held by the Participant shall thereupon terminate and
expire, (ii) as a condition of the exercise of a Tandem Stock Appreciation
Right, the Participant shall be required to certify (or shall be deemed to have
certified) at the time of exercise in a manner acceptable to the Company that
the Participant is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and
that the Participant has not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, any
Detrimental Activity, and (iii) in the event the Participant engages in
Detrimental Activity during the one year period following the later of
(x) Participant's Termination of Employment or (y) the date the
Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, that any Non-Tandem Stock
Appreciation Rights shall be immediately forfeited (whether or not then vested)
and the Company shall be entitled to recover from the Participant at any time
within one year after the later of (x) or (y), and the Participant shall pay
over to the Company, an amount equal to any gain realized as a result of the
exercise (whether at the time of exercise or thereafter).

       

      7.5 Limited Stock Appreciation
Rights.  The
Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right
or a Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Right as a Limited Stock Appreciation
Right.  Limited Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised only upon
the occurrence of a Change in Control or such other event as the Committee may,
in its sole discretion, designate at the time of grant or
thereafter.  Upon the exercise of limited Stock Appreciation Rights,
except as otherwise provided in an Award agreement, the Participant shall
receive in cash or Common Stock, as determined by the Committee, an amount equal
to the amount (i) set forth in Section 7.2(d) with respect to Tandem Stock
Appreciation Rights, or (ii) set forth in Section 7.4(d) with respect to
Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights, as applicable.

      RESTRICTED
STOCK

       

      8.1 Awards of Restricted
Stock.  Shares
of Restricted Stock may be issued to Eligible Employees or Consultants either
alone or in addition to other Awards granted under this Plan.  The
Committee shall determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at
which, grants of Restricted Stock will be made, the number of shares to be
awarded, the price (if any) to be paid by the recipient (subject to Section
8.2), the time or times within which such Awards may be subject to forfeiture,
the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof, and all other terms and
conditions of the Awards.  The Committee may condition the grant or
vesting of Restricted Stock upon the attainment of specified performance goals,
including established Performance Goals in accordance with Section 162(m) of the
Code, or such other factors as the Committee may determine, in its sole
discretion.

       

      8.2 Awards and
Certificates.  An
Eligible Employee or Consultant selected to receive Restricted Stock shall not
have any rights with respect to such Award, unless and until such Participant
has delivered to the Company a fully executed copy of the applicable Award
agreement relating thereto and has otherwise complied with the applicable terms
and conditions of such Award.  Further, such Award shall be subject to
the following conditions:

       

      (a) Purchase
Price.  The
purchase price of Restricted Stock shall be fixed by the
Committee.  Subject to Section 4.3, the purchase price for shares of
Restricted Stock may be zero to the extent permitted by applicable law, and, to
the extent not so permitted, such purchase price may not be less than par
value.

       

      (b) Acceptance.  Awards
of Restricted Stock must be accepted within a period of 90 days (or such shorter
period as the Committee may specify at grant) after the Award date by executing
a Restricted Stock Award agreement and by paying whatever price (if any) the
Committee has designated thereunder.

       

      (c) Legend.  Each
Participant receiving shares of Restricted Stock shall be issued a stock
certificate in respect of such shares of Restricted Stock, unless the Committee
elects to use another system, such as book entries by the transfer agent, as
evidencing ownership of shares of Restricted Stock.  Such certificate
shall be registered in the name of such Participant, and shall bear an
appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions
applicable to such Award, substantially in the following form:

       

      "The
anticipation, alienation, attachment, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance or charge of the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to
the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) of The Comtech
Telecommunications Corp. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and an Agreement
entered into between the registered owner and the Company dated
_______.  Copies of such Plan and Agreement are on file at the
principal office of the Company."

       

      (d) Custody.  The
Committee may require that any stock certificates evidencing such shares be held
in custody by the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed and
that, as a condition to the grant of such Award of Restricted Stock, the
Participant shall have delivered a duly signed stock power, endorsed in blank,
relating to the Common Stock covered by such Award.

       

      8.3 Restrictions and Conditions
on Restricted Stock Awards.  Shares
of Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to this Plan shall be subject to Article
XII and the following restrictions and conditions:

       

      (a) Restriction
Period; Vesting and Acceleration of Vesting.  (i)
The Participant shall not be permitted to Transfer shares of Restricted Stock
awarded under this Plan during the period or periods set by the Committee (the
"Restriction Period") commencing on the date of such Award, as

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          20

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

         

        set forth
in the Restricted Stock Award agreement and such agreement shall set forth a
vesting schedule and any events which would accelerate vesting of the shares of
Restricted Stock.  Within these limits, based on service, attainment
of Performance Goals pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(ii) below and/or such other
factors or criteria as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion, the
Committee may provide for the lapse of such restrictions in installments in
whole or in part, or may accelerate the vesting of all or any part of any
Restricted Stock Award and/or waive the deferral limitations for all or any part
of any Restricted Stock Award.

      

       

      (ii) Objective
Performance Goals, Formulae or Standards.  If
the grant of shares of Restricted Stock or the lapse of restrictions is based on
the attainment of Performance Goals, the Committee shall establish the
Performance Goals and the applicable vesting percentage of the Restricted Stock
Award applicable to each Participant or class of Participants in writing prior
to the beginning of the applicable fiscal year or at such later date as
otherwise determined by the Committee and while the outcome of the Performance
Goals are substantially uncertain.  Such Performance Goals may
incorporate provisions for disregarding (or adjusting for) changes in accounting
methods, corporate transactions (including, without limitation, dispositions and
acquisitions) and other similar type events or circumstances.  With
regard to a Restricted Stock Award that is intended to comply with Section
162(m) of the Code, to the extent any such provision would create impermissible
discretion under Section 162(m) of the Code or otherwise violate Section 162(m)
of the Code, such provision shall be of no force or effect.  The
applicable Performance Goals shall be based on one or more of the Performance
Criteria set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

       

      (b) Rights
as Stockholder.  Except
as provided in this subsection (b) and subsection (a) above and as otherwise
determined by the Committee, the Participant shall have, with respect to the
shares of Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a holder of shares of Common
Stock of the Company including, without limitation, the right to receive any
dividends, the right to vote such shares and, subject to and conditioned upon
the full vesting of shares of Restricted Stock, the right to tender such
shares.  The Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine at the
time of grant that the payment of dividends shall be deferred until, and
conditioned upon, the expiration of the applicable Restriction
Period.

       

      (c) Lapse
of Restrictions.  If
and when the Restriction Period expires without a prior forfeiture of the
Restricted Stock subject to such Restriction Period, the certificates for such
shares shall be delivered to the Participant.  All legends shall be
removed from said certificates at the time of delivery to the Participant except
as otherwise required by applicable law.

       

      (d) Detrimental
Activity.  Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee at grant, each Award of Restricted Stock
shall provide that in the event the Participant engages in Detrimental Activity
prior to, or during the one year period following the later of Termination of
Employment or any vesting of Restricted Stock, the Committee may direct (at any
time within one year thereafter) that all unvested Restricted Stock shall be
immediately forfeited to the Company and that the Participant shall pay over to
the Company an amount equal to the gain realized at the time of vesting of any

      PERFORMANCE
SHARES

       

      9.1 Award of Performance
Shares.  Performance
Shares may be awarded either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under
this Plan.  The Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine the
Eligible Employees and Consultants to whom and the time or times at which such
Performance Shares shall be awarded, the duration of the period (the
"Performance Period") during which, and the conditions under which, a
Participant's right to Performance Shares will be vested and the other terms and
conditions of the Award in addition to those set forth in Section
9.2.

            Each
Performance Share awarded shall be referenced to one share of Common
Stock.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Committee shall
condition the right to payment of any Performance Share Award upon the
attainment of objective Performance Goals established pursuant to Section 9.2(c)
below and such other non-performance based factors or criteria as the Committee
may determine in its sole discretion.

      

       

      9.2 Terms and
Conditions.  A
Participant selected to receive Performance Shares shall not have any rights
with respect to such Awards, unless and until such Participant has delivered a
fully executed copy of a Performance Share Award agreement evidencing the Award
to the Company and has otherwise complied with the following terms and
conditions:

       

      (a) Earning
of Performance Share Award.  At
the expiration of the applicable Performance Period, the Committee shall
determine the extent to which the Performance Goals established pursuant to
Section 9.2(c) are achieved and the percentage of each Performance Share Award
that has been earned.

       

      (b) Payment.  Following
the Committee's determination in accordance with subsection (a) above, shares of
Common Stock or, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the cash
equivalent of such shares shall be delivered to the Participant, in an amount
equal to such Participant's earned Performance Share
Award.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as may be set forth in
the agreement covering the Award, the Committee may, in its sole discretion and
in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code, award an amount less than the
earned Performance Share Award and/or subject the payment of all or part of any
Performance Share Award to additional vesting and forfeiture conditions as it
deems appropriate.

       

      (c) Objective
Performance Goals, Formulae or Standards.  The
Committee shall establish the objective Performance Goals for the earning of
Performance Shares based on a Performance Period applicable to each Participant
or class of Participants in writing prior to the beginning of the applicable
Performance Period or at such later date as permitted under Section 162(m) of
the Code and while the outcome of the Performance Goals are substantially
uncertain.  Such Performance Goals may incorporate, if and only to the
extent permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code, provisions for disregarding
(or adjusting for) changes in accounting methods, corporate transactions
(including, without limitation, dispositions and acquisitions) and other similar
type events or circumstances.  To the extent any such provision would
create impermissible discretion under Section 162(m) of the Code or otherwise
violate Section 162(m) of the Code, such provision shall be of no force or
effect.  The applicable Performance Goals shall be based on one or
more of the Performance Criteria set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

       

      (d) Dividends
and Other Distributions.  At
the time of any Award of Performance Shares, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, award an Eligible Employee or Consultant the right to receive the
cash value of any dividends and other distributions that would have been
received as though the Eligible Employee or Consultant had held each share of
Common Stock referenced by the earned Performance Share Award from the last day
of the first year of the Performance Period until the actual distribution to
such Participant of the related share of Common Stock or cash value
thereof.  Such amounts, if awarded, shall be paid to the Participant
as and when the shares of Common Stock or cash value thereof are distributed to
such Participant and, at the discretion of the Committee, may be paid with
interest from the first day of the second year of the Performance Period until
such amounts and any earnings thereon are distributed.  The applicable
rate of interest shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion;
provided, however, that for each fiscal year or part thereof, the applicable
interest rate shall not be greater than a rate equal to the four-year U.S.
Government Treasury rate on the first day of each applicable fiscal
year.

       

      (e) Detrimental
Activity.  Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee at grant, each Award of Performance Shares
shall provide that in the event the Participant engages in Detrimental Activity
prior to, or during the one year period following the later of Termination of
Employment or any vesting of Performance Shares, the Committee may direct (at
any time within one year thereafter) that all unvested Performance Shares shall
be immediately forfeited to the

        Company
and that the Participant shall pay over to the Company an amount equal to the
gain realized at the time of vesting of any Performance
Shares.

      CASH
INCENTIVE AWARDS AND PERFORMANCE UNITS

       

                 10.1 Cash Incentive
Awards.  Cash
incentive Awards may be awarded either alone or in addition to other Awards
granted under this Plan.  The Committee shall, in its sole discretion,
determine the Eligible Employees and Consultants to whom and the time or times
at which such cash incentive Awards shall be awarded, the duration of the period
(the "Performance Cycle") during which, and the conditions under which, a
Participant shall earn the cash incentive Award and the other terms and
conditions of the Award in addition to those set forth in Section
10.3.  Cash incentive Awards granted with a Performance Cycle of one
year shall be designated as “Annual Incentive Awards.”

       

      Cash
incentive Awards shall be awarded in a dollar amount or a formula that will
ultimately yield a dollar amount, as determined by the
Committee.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Committee shall
condition the right to payment of any cash incentive Award upon the attainment
of at least one objective Performance Goal established pursuant to Section
10.3(a) and such other factors or criteria as the Committee may determine in its
sole discretion.

       

      Cash
incentive Awards under this Section 10.1 may be settled and paid only if
stockholders of the Company previously have approved the amendment and
restatement of the Plan containing the authorization of cash incentive Awards in
this Section 10.1.

       

      10.2 Awards of Performance
Units.  Performance
Units may be awarded either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under
this Plan.  The Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine the
Eligible Employees and Consultants to whom and the time or times at which such
Performance Units shall be awarded, the duration of the period (the "Performance
Unit Cycle") during which, and the conditions under which, a Participant's right
to Performance Units will be vested and the other terms and conditions of the
Award in addition to those set forth in Section 10.3.

       

      Performance
Units shall be awarded in a dollar amount determined by the Committee and shall
be converted to a referenced number of shares of Common Stock based on the Fair
Market Value of shares of Common Stock at the conversion date designated by the
Committee (such designation may occur at any time, but no conversion may
reference a market price from a date preceding the designation
date).

       

      Upon
conversion, each Performance Unit shall be referenced to one share of Common
Stock.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Committee shall
condition the right to payment of any Performance Unit Award upon the attainment
of objective Performance Goals established pursuant to Section 10.3(a) and such
other non-performance based factors or criteria as the Committee may determine
in its sole discretion.  The cash value of any fractional Performance
Unit Award subsequent to conversion to shares of Common Stock shall be treated
as a dividend or other distribution under Section 10.3(e) to the extent any
portion of the Performance Unit Award is earned.

       

      10.3 Terms and
Conditions.  The
cash incentive Awards or Performance Units awarded pursuant to this Article 10
shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

       

      (a) Performance
Goals.  The
Committee shall establish the objective Performance Goal or Goals for the
earning of cash incentive Awards or Performance Units based on a Performance
Cycle or Performance Unit Cycle applicable to each Participant or class of
Participants in writing prior to the beginning of the applicable Performance
Cycle or Performance Unit Cycle or at such later date as permitted under Section
162(m) of the Code and while the outcome of the Performance Goal or Goals is
substantially uncertain.  Such Performance Goals may incorporate, if
and only to the extent permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code, provisions
for disregarding (or adjusting for) changes in accounting methods, corporate
transactions (including, without limitation, 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          23

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

         

        dispositions
and acquisitions) and other similar type events or circumstances.  To
the extent any such provision would create impermissible discretion under
Section 162(m) of the Code or otherwise violate Section 162(m) of the Code, such
provision shall be of no force or effect.  The applicable Performance
Goals shall be based on one or more of the Performance Criteria set forth in
Exhibit A hereto.

      

       

      (b) Vesting.  At
the expiration of the Performance Cycle or Performance Unit Cycle, the Committee
shall determine and certify in writing the extent to which the Performance Goals
have been achieved, and the corresponding extent to which a cash incentive Award
or a Performance Unit has been earned in respect of each
Participant.

       

      (c) Payment.  Subject
to the applicable provisions of the Award agreement and this Plan, at the
expiration of the Performance Cycle or Performance Unit Cycle or any vesting
period extending beyond the Performance Cycle or Performance Unit Cycle, cash
or, with respect to Performance Units, shares of Common Stock (as the Committee
may determine in its sole discretion at grant, or thereafter if no rights of a
Participant are reduced), shall be delivered to the Participant in payment of
any earned and vested cash incentive Award or any earned and vested Performance
Units covered by the Performance Unit Award.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, except as may be set forth in the agreement covering the Award, the
Committee may, in its sole discretion, and to the extent applicable and
permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code, award an amount less than the earned
cash incentive Award or earned Performance Unit Award and/or subject the payment
of all or part of any such Award to additional vesting and forfeiture conditions
or conditions mandating the deferral of settlement of the Award as it deems
appropriate.  If an Award is deferred such Award shall not increase
(between the date on which the Award is credited to any deferred compensation
program applicable to such Participant and the payment date) by an amount that
would result in such deferral being deemed as an “increase in the amount of
compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.

       

      (d) Accelerated
Vesting.  Based
on service, performance and/or such other factors or criteria, if any, as the
Committee may determine, the Committee may, at or after grant, accelerate the
date of earning or vesting of all or any part of any cash incentive Award or
Performance Unit Award and/or waive the deferral limitations for all or any part
of such Award, except that no acceleration or waiver may affect the time of
settlement of an Award that constitutes a deferral of compensation under Section
409A of the Code except as permitted under applicable regulations and guidance
under Section 409A.

       

      (e) Dividends
and Other Distributions.  At
the time of any Award of Performance Units, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, award an Eligible Employee or Consultant the right to receive the
cash value of any dividends and other distributions that would have been
received as though the Eligible Employee or Consultant had held each share of
Common Stock referenced by the earned Performance Unit Award from the last day
of the first year of the Performance Cycle or Performance Unit Cycle until the
actual distribution to such Participant of the related share of Common Stock or
cash value thereof.  Such amounts, if awarded, shall be paid to the
Participant as and when the shares of Common Stock or cash value thereof are
distributed to such Participant and, at the discretion of the Committee, may be
paid with interest from the first day of the second year of the Performance
Cycle or Performance Unit Cycle until such amounts and any earnings thereon are
distributed.  The applicable rate of interest shall be determined by
the Committee in its sole discretion; provided, however, that for each fiscal
year or part thereof, the applicable interest rate shall not be greater than a
rate equal to the four-year U.S. Government Treasury rate on the first day of
each applicable fiscal year.

       

      (f) Detrimental
Activity. Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee at grant, each Award of Performance Units
shall provide that in the event the Participant engages in Detrimental Activity
prior to, or during the one year period following the later of Termination of
Employment or any vesting of Performance Units, the Committee may direct (at any
time within one year thereafter) that all unvested Performance Units shall be
immediately forfeited to the Company and that the

above.

Stock-Based Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem
with Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Performance
Shares or Performance Units.

       

      Subject
to the provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall have authority to determine
the persons to whom and the time or times at which such Awards shall be made,
the number of shares of Common Stock to be

pursuant to such Awards, and all other conditions of the Awards.  The
Committee may also provide for the grant of Common Stock under such Awards upon
the completion of a specified performance 

      period.

       

      11.2 Terms and
Conditions.  Other
Stock-Based Awards made pursuant to this Article XI shall be subject to the
following terms and conditions:

       

      (a) Non-Transferability.  Subject
to the applicable provisions of the Award agreement and this Plan, shares of
Common Stock subject to Awards made under this Article XI may not be Transferred
prior to the date on which the shares are issued, or, if later, the date on
which any applicable restriction, performance or deferral period
lapses.

       

      (b) Dividends.  Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of Award, subject to the
provisions of the Award agreement and this Plan, the recipient of an Award under
this Article XI shall be entitled to receive, currently or on a deferred basis,
dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to the number of shares of Common
Stock covered by the Award, as determined at the time of the Award by the
Committee, in its sole discretion.

       

      (c) Vesting.  Any
Award under this Article XI and any Common Stock covered by any such Award shall
vest or be forfeited to the extent so provided in the Award agreement, as
determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.

       

      (d) Waiver
of Limitation.  The
Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive in whole or in part any or all of
the limitations imposed hereunder (if any) with respect to any or all of an

shall be priced as determined by the Committee.  Subject to Section
4.3, the purchase price of shares of Common Stock or Other Stock-Based Awards
may be zero to the extent permitted by applicable law, and, to the extent not so
permitted, such purchase price may not be less than par value.  The
purchase of shares of Common Stock or Other Stock-Based Awards may be made on
either an after-tax or pre-tax basis, as determined by the Committee; provided,
however, that if the purchase is made on a pre-tax basis, such purchase shall be
made pursuant to a deferred compensation program established by the Committee,
which will be deemed a part of this Plan.

       

      (f) Detrimental
Activity.  Other
Stock-Based Awards under this Article XI and any Common Stock covered by any
such Award shall be forfeited in the event the Participant engages in
Detrimental Activity under such conditions set forth by the Committee in the

      NON-TRANSFERABILITY
AND TERMINATION

      OF
EMPLOYMENT/CONSULTANCY

       

      12.1 Non-Transferability.  No
Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Performance Unit, Performance Share or
Other Stock-Based Award shall be Transferable by the Participant otherwise than
by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  All Stock Options
and all Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable, during the Participant's
lifetime, only by the Participant.  Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights
shall be Transferable, to the extent permitted above, only with the underlying
Stock Option.  Shares of Restricted Stock under Article VIII may not
be Transferred prior to the date on which shares are issued, or, if later, the
date on which any applicable restriction, performance or deferral period
lapses.  No Award shall, except as otherwise specifically provided by
law or herein, be Transferable in any manner, and any attempt to Transfer any
such Award shall be void, and no such Award shall in any manner be liable for or
subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any person
who shall be entitled to such Award, nor shall it be subject to attachment or
legal process for or against such person.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Committee may determine at the time of grant or thereafter, that
a Non-Qualified Stock Option that is otherwise not transferable pursuant to this
Section 12.1 is transferable to a Family Member in whole or in part and in such
circumstances, and under such conditions, as specified by the Committee, except
no transfer or other disposition for value shall be permitted.  A
Non-Qualified Stock Option that is transferred to a Family Member pursuant to
the preceding sentence may not be subsequently transferred otherwise than by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

       

      12.2 Termination of Employment or
Termination of Consultancy.  The
following rules apply with regard to the Termination of Employment or
Termination of Consultancy of a Participant:

       

      (a) Rules
Applicable to Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights.  Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee at grant or, if no rights of the
Participant are reduced, thereafter:

       

      (i) Termination
by Reason of Death, Disability or Retirement.  If
a Participant's Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy is by
reason of death, Disability or Retirement, all Stock Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights held by such Participant may be exercised, to the extent
exercisable at the Participant's Termination of Employment or Termination of
Consultancy, by the Participant (or, in the case of death, by the legal
representative of the Participant's estate) at any time within a period of one
year from the date of such Termination of Employment or Termination of
Consultancy, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated terms of such
Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights; provided, however, that, in the
case of Retirement, if the Participant dies within such exercise period, all
unexercised Stock Options and Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights held by such
Participant shall thereafter be exercisable, to the extent to which they were
exercisable at the time of death, for a period of one year from the date of such
death, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated term of such Stock
Options and Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights.

       

      (ii) Involuntary
Termination Without Cause.  If
a Participant's Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy is by
involuntary termination without Cause, all Stock Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights held by such Participant may be exercised, to the extent exercisable at
Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy, by the Participant at
any time within a period of 90 days from the date of such Termination of
Employment or Termination of Consultancy, but in no event beyond the expiration
of the stated term of such Stock Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights.

       

      (iii) Voluntary
Termination.  If
a Participant's Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy is
voluntary (other than a voluntary termination described in Section
12.2(a)(iv)(B) below), all Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights held by
such Participant may be exercised, to the extent exercisable at Termination of
Employment or Termination of

        Consultancy,
by the Participant at any time within a period of 30 days from the date of such
Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy, but in no event beyond
the expiration of the stated terms of such Stock Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective for Stock Options
and Stock Appreciation Rights granted on or after October 19, 2000, if a
Participant's Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy is
voluntary, all Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights held by such
Participant shall thereupon terminate and expire as of the date of such
Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy.

      

       

      (iv) Termination
for Cause.  If
a Participant's Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy
(A) is for Cause or (B) is a voluntary termination (as provided in
subsection (iii) above) within 90 days after an event which would be grounds for
a Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy for Cause, all Stock
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights held by such Participant shall thereupon
terminate and expire as of the date of such Termination of Employment or
Termination of Consultancy.

       

      (b) Rules
Applicable to Restricted Stock.  Subject
to the applicable provisions of the Restricted Stock Award agreement and this
Plan, upon a Participant's Termination of Employment or Termination of
Consultancy for any reason during the relevant Restriction Period, all
Restricted Stock still subject to restriction will vest or be forfeited in
accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Committee at grant
or thereafter.

       

      (c) Rules
Applicable to Performance Shares and Performance Units.  Subject
to the applicable provisions of the Award agreement and this Plan, upon a
Participant's Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy for any
reason during the Performance Period, the Performance Unit Cycle or other period
or restriction as may be applicable for a given Award, the Performance Shares or
Performance Units in question will vest (to the extent applicable and to the
extent permissible under Section 162(m) of the Code) or be forfeited in
accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Committee at grant
or thereafter.

       

      (d) Rules
Applicable to Other Stock-Based Awards.  Subject
to the applicable provisions of the Award agreement and this Plan, upon a
Participant's Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy for any
reason during any period or restriction as may be applicable for a given Award,
the Other Stock-Based Awards in question will vest or be forfeited in accordance
with the terms and conditions established by the Committee at grant or

shall equal 100% of the Fair Market Value of the share of Common Stock at the
time of grant.

       

      (b) Stock
Option Term.  The
term of each Stock Option granted (i) prior to August 1, 2005 shall be ten (10)
years and (ii) on or after August 1, 2005 shall be five (5) years.

       

      (c) Exercisability.  Stock
Options granted to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to Section 13.2 shall vest
and become exercisable (i) on the first anniversary of date of grant for Stock
Options granted prior to August 1, 2005 and (ii) in installments over a three
(3) year period, commencing on the date of grant for Stock Options granted on or
after August 1, 2005, at the rate of 25% effective on the first and second
anniversaries of the date of grant and 50% on the third anniversary of the date
of grant; provided that in any event the Stock Option may become vested only
during the continuance of his or her service as a director of the
Company.

       

      (d) Method
of Exercise.  Subject
to whatever waiting period provisions apply under subsection (c) above, Stock
Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from time to time
during the Stock Option term, by giving written notice of exercise to the
Company specifying the number of shares to be purchased.  Such notice
shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price as
follows:  (i) in cash or by check, bank draft or money order
payable to the Company; (ii) to the extent permitted by law, if the Common
Stock is traded on a national securities exchange, through a "cashless exercise"
procedure whereby the Participant delivers irrevocable instructions to a broker
satisfactory to the Company to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal
to the purchase price; or (iii) such other arrangement for the satisfaction
of the purchase price, as the Board may accept.  If and to the extent
determined by the Board in its sole discretion at or after grant, payment in
full or in part may also be made in the form of Common Stock owned by the
Participant (and for which the Participant has good title free and clear of any
liens and encumbrances) based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on
the payment date.  No shares of Common Stock shall be issued until
payment, as provided herein, therefore has been made or provided
for.

       

      (e) Form,
Modification, Extension and Renewal of Stock Options.  Subject
to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of the Plan, a Stock
Option shall be evidenced by such form of agreement or grant as is approved by
the Board, and the Board may modify, extend or renew outstanding Stock Options
granted under the Plan (provided that the rights of a Participant are not
reduced without his consent).

       

      13.5 Termination of
Directorship.  The
following rules apply with regard to Stock Options upon the Termination of
Directorship:

       

      (a) Termination
of Directorship by Reason of Death, Disability or Otherwise Ceasing to be a
Director.  Except
as otherwise provided herein, upon the Termination of Directorship by reason of
death, Disability, resignation, failure to stand for reelection or failure to be
reelected or 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          28

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

         

        otherwise, all outstanding Stock Options
exercisable and not exercised shall remain exercisable to the extent exercisable
on such date of Termination of Directorship by the Participant or, in the case
of death, by the Participant's estate or by the person given authority to
exercise such Stock Options by his or her will or by operation of law, at any
time prior to the expiration of the stated term of such Stock
Option.

      

       

      (b) Cancellation
of Options.  Except
as provided in Section 13.6, no Stock Options that were not exercisable as of
the date of Termination of Directorship shall thereafter become exercisable upon
a Termination of Directorship for any reason or no reason whatsoever, and such
Stock Options shall terminate and become null and void upon a Termination of
Directorship.  If a Non-Employee Director's Termination of
Directorship is for Cause, all Stock Options held by the Non-Employee Director
shall thereupon terminate and expire as of the date of termination.

       

      13.6 Acceleration of
Exercisability.  All
Stock Options granted to a Non-Employee Director and not previously exercisable
shall become fully exercisable upon such Director's death, and all Stock Options
granted to Non-Employee Directors and not previously exercisable shall become
fully exercisable immediately upon a Change in Control (as defined in Section
14.2).

       

      13.7 Changes.

       

      (a) The
Awards to a Non-Employee Director shall be subject to Sections 4.2(a), (b) and
(c) of the Plan and this Section 13.7, but shall not be subject to Section
4.2(d).

       

      (b) If the
Company shall not be the surviving corporation in any merger or consolidation,
or if the Company is to be dissolved or liquidated, then, unless the surviving
corporation assumes the Stock Options or substitutes new Stock Options which are
determined by the Board in its sole discretion to be substantially similar in
nature and equivalent in terms and value for Stock Options then outstanding,
upon the effective date of such merger, consolidation, liquidation or
dissolution, any unexercised Stock Options shall expire without additional
compensation to the holder thereof; provided, that, the Board shall deliver
notice to each Non-Employee Director at least 30 days prior to the date of
consummation of such merger, consolidation, dissolution or liquidation which
would result in the expiration of the Stock Options and during the period from
the date on which such notice of termination is delivered to the consummation of
the merger, consolidation, dissolution or liquidation, such Participant shall
have the right to exercise in full, effective as of such consummation, all Stock
Options that are then outstanding (without regard to limitations on exercise
otherwise contained in the Stock Options) but contingent on occurrence of the
merger, consolidation, dissolution or liquidation, and, provided that, if the
contemplated transaction does not take place within a 90 day period after giving
such notice for any reason whatsoever, the notice, accelerated vesting and
exercise shall be null and void and, if and when appropriate, new notice shall
be given as aforesaid.

      CHANGE IN
CONTROL PROVISIONS

       

      14.1 Benefits.  In
the event of a Change in Control of the Company, except as otherwise provided by
the Committee upon the grant of an Award, the Participant shall be entitled to
the following benefits:

       

      (a) Except to
the extent provided in the applicable Award agreement, the Participant's
employment agreement with the Company or an Affiliate, as approved by the
Committee, or other written agreement approved by the Committee (as such
agreement may be amended from time to time), (i) Equity Awards granted and
not previously exercisable shall become exercisable upon a Change in Control,
(ii) restrictions to which any shares of Restricted Stock granted prior to
the Change in Control are subject shall lapse upon a Change in Control, and
(iii) the conditions required

        for vesting of any unvested Performance Units
and/or Performance Shares shall be deemed to be satisfied upon a Change in
Control.

         

        (b) The
Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide for the purchase of any Stock
Option by the Company or an Affiliate for an amount of cash equal to the excess
of the Change in Control Price (as defined below) of the shares of Common Stock
covered by such Stock Options, over the
aggregate exercise price of such Stock Options.  For purposes of this
Section 14.1, Change in Control Price shall mean the higher of (i) the
highest price per share of Common Stock paid in any transaction related to a
Change in Control of the Company, or (ii) the highest Fair Market Value per
share of Common Stock at any time during the sixty (60) day period preceding a
Change in Control.

      

       

      (c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, unless the Committee provides otherwise at the
time a Stock Option is granted hereunder or thereafter, no acceleration of
exercisability shall occur with respect to such Stock Options if the Committee
reasonably determines in good faith, prior to the occurrence of the Change in
Control, that the Stock Options shall be honored or assumed, or new rights
substituted therefore (each such honored, assumed or substituted stock option
hereinafter called an "Alternative Option"), by a Participant's employer (or the
parent or a subsidiary of such employer) immediately following the Change in
Control, provided that any such Alternative Option must meet the following
criteria:

       

      (i) the
Alternative Option must be based on stock which is traded on an established
securities market, or which will be so traded within 30 days of the Change in
Control;

       

      (ii) the
Alternative Option must provide such Participant with rights and entitlements
substantially equivalent to or better than the rights, terms and conditions
applicable under such Stock Option, including, but not limited to, an identical
or better exercise schedule; and

       

      (iii) the
Alternative Option must have economic value substantially equivalent to the
value of such Stock Option (determined at the time of the Change in
Control).

       

      For
purposes of Incentive Stock Options, any assumed or substituted Stock Option
shall comply with the requirements
of Treasury Regulation § 1.424-1 (and any amendments thereto).

       

      (d) Notwithstanding
anything else herein, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for
accelerated vesting of an Award or accelerated lapsing of restrictions on shares
of Restricted Stock at any time.

       

      14.2 Change in
Control.  A
"Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred:

       

      (a) upon any
"person" as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act
(other than the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under
any employee benefit plan of the Company, or any company owned, directly or
indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership of Common Stock of the Company), becoming the
owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly,
of securities of the Company representing 30% or more of the combined voting
power of the Company's then outstanding securities;

       

      (b) during
any period of two (2) consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of
such period constitute the Board of Directors, and any new director (other than
a director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the
Company to effect a transaction described in paragraph (a), (c), or (d) of this
section) or a director whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of
either an actual or threatened election contest (as such term is used in Rule
14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or
threatened solicitation

        of
proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Board of
Directors of the Company whose election by the Board of Directors or nomination
for election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least
two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at
the beginning of the two-year period or whose election or nomination for
election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least
a majority of the Board of Directors;

      

       

      (c) upon a
merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a
merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the
Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by
remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the
surviving entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting
securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after
such merger or consolidation; provided, however, that a merger or consolidation
effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction)
in which no person (other than those covered by the exceptions in (a) above)
acquires more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company's then
outstanding securities shall not constitute a Change in Control of the Company;
or

       

      (d) upon
approval by the stockholders of the Company of a plan of complete liquidation of
the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets other than the sale or disposition of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a person or persons who
beneficially own, directly or indirectly, at least 50% or more of the combined
voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Company at the time of
the sale.

and from time to time, amend, in whole or in part, any or all of the provisions
of this Plan (including any amendment deemed necessary to ensure that the
Company may comply with any regulatory requirement referred to in Article XVII),
or suspend or terminate it entirely, retroactively or otherwise; provided,
however, that, unless otherwise required by law or specifically provided herein,
the rights of a Participant with respect to Awards granted prior to such

such Participant and, provided further, without the approval of the shareholders
of the Company in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, to the
extent required by the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 or Section 162(m) of

the Code or, to the extent applicable to Incentive Stock Options, Section 422 of
the Code.  In no event may this Plan be amended without the approval
of the stockholders of the Company in accordance with the applicable laws of the
State of Delaware to increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
that may be issued under this Plan, decrease the minimum exercise price of any
Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, or to make any other amendment that
would require stockholder approval under the rules of any exchange or system on
which the Company's securities are listed or traded at the request of the

          16.1 Unfunded Status of
Plan.  This
Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive and deferred
compensation.  With respect to any payments as to which a Participant
has a fixed and
vested interest but which are not yet made to a Participant by the Company,
nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are
greater than those of a general creditor of the

      ARTICLE
XVII

       

      GENERAL
PROVISIONS

       

      17.1 Legend.  The
Committee may require each person receiving shares pursuant to an Award under
this Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that the
Participant is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution
thereof.  In addition to any legend required by this Plan, the
certificates for such shares may include any legend which the Committee deems
appropriate to reflect any restrictions on Transfer.

       

      All
certificates for shares of Common Stock delivered under this Plan shall be
subject to such stock transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee
may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Common
Stock is then listed or any national securities association system upon whose
system the Common Stock is then quoted, any applicable Federal or state
securities law, and any applicable corporate law, and the Committee may cause a
legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate
reference to such restrictions.

       

      17.2 Other
Plans.  Nothing
contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional
compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is
required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable
only in specific cases.

       

      17.3 Right to
Employment/Consultancy.  Neither
this Plan nor the grant of any Award hereunder shall give any Participant or
other employee or Consultant any right with respect to continuance of employment
or Consultancy by the Company or any Affiliate, nor shall they be a limitation
in any way on the right of the Company or any Affiliate by which an employee is
employed or a Consultant is retained to terminate his employment or Consultancy
at any time.

       

      17.4 Withholding of
Taxes.  The
Company shall have the right to deduct from any payment to be made to a
Participant, or to otherwise require, prior to the issuance or delivery of any
shares of Common Stock or the payment of any cash hereunder, payment by the
Participant of, any Federal, state or local taxes required by law to be
withheld.  Upon the vesting of Restricted Stock, or upon making an
election under Code Section 83(b), a Participant shall pay all required
withholding to the Company.

       

      Any such
withholding obligation with regard to any Participant may be satisfied, subject
to the consent of the Committee, by reducing the number of shares of Common
Stock otherwise deliverable or by delivering shares of Common Stock already
owned.   Any fraction of a share of Common Stock required to
satisfy such tax obligations shall be disregarded and the amount due shall be
paid instead in cash by the Participant.

       

      17.5 Listing and Other
Conditions.

       

      (a) As long
as the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or system
sponsored by a national securities association, the issue of any shares of
Common Stock pursuant to an Award shall be conditioned upon such shares being
listed on such exchange or system.  The

        Company
shall have no obligation to issue such shares unless and until such shares are
so listed, and the right to exercise any Stock Option with respect to such
shares shall be suspended until such listing has been effected. 

           

          (b) If at any
time counsel to the Company shall be of the opinion that any sale or delivery of
shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Award is or may in the circumstances be
unlawful or result in the imposition of excise taxes on the Company under the
statutes, rules or regulations of any applicable jurisdiction, the
Company shall have no obligation to make such sale or delivery, or to make any
application or to effect or to maintain any qualification or registration under
the Securities Act or otherwise with respect to shares of Common Stock or
Awards, and the right to exercise any Stock Option shall be suspended until, in
the opinion of said counsel, such sale or delivery shall be lawful or will not
result in the imposition of excise taxes on the Company.

        

      

       

      (c) Upon
termination of any period of suspension under this Section 17.5, any Award
affected by such suspension which shall not then have expired or terminated
shall be reinstated as to all shares available before such suspension and as to
shares which would otherwise have become available during the period of such
suspension, but no such suspension shall extend the term of any Stock
Option.

       

      17.6 Governing
Law.  This
Plan shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware (regardless of the law that might otherwise govern under applicable
Delaware principles of conflict of laws).

       

      17.7 Construction.  Wherever
any words are used in this Plan in the masculine gender they shall be construed
as though they were also used in the feminine gender in all cases where they
would so apply, and wherever any words are used herein in the singular form they
shall be construed as though they were also used in the plural form in all cases
where they would so apply.

       

      17.8 Other
Benefits.  No
Award payment under this Plan shall be deemed compensation for purposes of
computing benefits under any retirement plan of the Company or its subsidiaries
nor affect any benefits under any other benefit plan now or subsequently in
effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to the
level of compensation, unless otherwise specifically stated in such other
benefit plan.

       

      17.9 Costs.  The
Company shall bear all expenses included in administering this Plan, including
expenses of issuing Common Stock pursuant to any Awards hereunder.

       

      17.10 No Right to Same
Benefits.  The
provisions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each Participant, and
such Awards to individual Participants need not be the same in subsequent
years.

       

      17.11 Death/Disability.  The
Committee may in its discretion require the transferee of a Participant to
supply it with written notice of the Participant's death or Disability and to
supply it with a copy of the will (in the case of the Participant's death) or
such other evidence as the Committee deems necessary to establish the validity
of the transfer of an Award.  The Committee may also require that the
agreement of the transferee to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of
this Plan.

       

      17.12 Section 16(b) of the
Exchange Act.  All
elections and transactions under this Plan by persons subject to Section 16 of
the Exchange Act involving shares of Common Stock are intended to comply with
any applicable exemptive condition under Rule 16b-3.  The Committee
may establish and adopt written administrative guidelines, designed to
facilitate compliance with Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, as it may deem
necessary or proper for the administration and operation of this Plan and the
transaction of business thereunder.

       

      17.13 Section 409A of the
Code.  This
Plan is intended to comply with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of
the Code and shall be limited, construed and interpreted in a manner so as to

anything herein to the contrary, any provision in this Plan that is inconsistent
with Section 409A of the Code shall be deemed to be amended to comply with
Section 409A of the Code and to the extent such provision cannot be amended to
comply therewith, such provision shall be null and void.

      

       

      17.14 Severability of
Provisions.  If
any provision of this Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such
invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and
this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been
included.

      EFFECTIVE
DATE OF PLAN

       

      The Plan
was originally adopted by the Board and effective on October 19, 1999, subject
to approval by the stockholders of the Company (which was obtained at the
stockholders meeting held on December 14, 1999).  The Plan was
thereafter amended and restated in accordance with the requirements of the laws
of the State of Delaware.  The Board approved the amendment and
restatement of the Plan on October 9, 2006 and such amended and restated plan
became effective on October 9, 2006, subject to approval of the provisions of
this Plan adding a cash incentive Award and re-approval of the Performance
Criteria for performance-based Equity Awards by the stockholders of the Company
in accordance with the requirements of the laws of the State of Delaware or such
later date as provided in the adopting resolution.  The stockholders
of the Company approved the amendments that were subject to stockholder approval
at the stockholder meeting held on December 5, 2006.  A further
restatement of the Plan was approved by the Board on December 6, 2007 which
incorporated amendments effective on November 9, 2007 (deleting the Plan
provision authorizing the Committee with the authority to buy out previously
granted stock options based on terms and conditions established by the
Committee) and on December 6, 2007 (increasing the number of shares available
for grant of Awards under the Plan by 850,000).  A further restatement
of the Plan was approved by the Board on June 2, 2009 which incorporated
amendments effective on June 2, 2009 (changing the date of grant of the annual
grants of Stock Options to Non-Employee Directors).  This restatement
was approved by the Board on [     ] and incorporates
amendments effective on October 18, 2009 (increasing the number of shares
available for grant of Awards under the Plan by 2,375,000, adjusting the maximum
annual grant of Performance Units and the maximum annual potential amount
earnable under Performance Units, limiting the Committee's authority to amend or
substitute a SAR or to issue Awards or cash in exchange for an Option or SAR in
certain circumstances without stockholder approval, changing the conversion

      TERM OF
PLAN

       

      No Award
shall be granted pursuant to this Plan on or after October 18, 2019, but Awards
granted prior to such date may extend beyond that date.  The foregoing
notwithstanding, any Awards (the vesting or payment of which is conditioned on
the satisfaction of Performance Criteria) intended to qualify as
"performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code may be granted
until the date of the first Annual Meeting of Stockholders that occurs in the
fifth year following the year in which the Company's stockholders last
previously re-approved the Performance Criteria (even if this deadline extends
past the date at which other Awards may be granted under the Plan).

      PERFORMANCE
CRITERIA

       

      Performance
Goals established for purposes of conditioning the grant of an Award of
Restricted Stock based on performance or the vesting of performance-based Awards
of Restricted Stock, Performance Units, Performance Shares and/or cash incentive
Awards shall be based on one or more of the following performance criteria
("Performance Criteria"): (i) the attainment of certain target levels of,
or a specified percentage increase in, revenues, income before income taxes and
extraordinary items, net income, income before income tax and stock based
compensation expense, earnings before income tax, earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization or a combination of any or all of the
foregoing; (ii) the attainment of certain target levels of, or a percentage
increase in, after-tax or pre-tax profits including, without limitation, that
attributable to continuing and/or other operations; (iii) the attainment of
certain target levels of, or a specified increase in, operational cash flow;
(iv) the achievement of a certain level of, reduction of, or other
specified objectives with regard to limiting the level of increase in, all or a
portion of, the Company's bank debt or other long-term or short-term public or
private debt or other similar financial obligations of the Company, which may be
calculated net of such cash balances and/or other offsets and adjustments as may
be established by the Committee; (v) the attainment of target levels of or
a specified percentage increase in earnings per share or earnings per share from
continuing operations; (vi) the attainment of certain target levels of, or
a specified increase in return on capital employed or return on invested
capital; (vii) the attainment of certain target levels of, or a percentage
increase in, after-tax or pre-tax return on stockholders' equity;
(viii) the attainment of certain target levels of, or a specified increase
in, economic value added targets based on a cash flow return on investment
formula; (ix) the attainment of certain target levels of or specified
increases in the fair market value of the shares of the Company's common stock;
and (x) the growth in the value of an investment in the Company's common
stock assuming the reinvestment of dividends.  For purposes of item
(i) above, "extraordinary items" shall mean all items of gain, loss or expense
for the fiscal year determined to be extraordinary or unusual in nature or
infrequent in occurrence or related to a corporate transaction (including,
without limitation, a disposition or acquisition) or related to a change in
accounting principle, all as determined in accordance with standards established
by Opinion No. 30 of the Accounting Principles Board.  The Committee
may specify that specific items of income or expense may be included or excluded
from the calculation of achievement of any of the foregoing Performance
Criteria.

      

      In
addition, such Performance Criteria may be based upon the attainment of
specified levels of Company (or subsidiary, division or other operational unit
of the Company) performance under one or more of the measures described above
relative to the performance of other corporations.  To the extent
permitted under Code Section 162(m), but only to the extent permitted under Code
Section 162(m) (including, without limitation, compliance with any requirements
for stockholder approval), the Committee may:  (i) designate
additional business criteria on which the Performance Criteria may be based or
(ii) adjust, modify or amend the aforementioned business
criteria.

(individually a “Revolving Credit
Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Credit
Loans”) to the Company from time to time during the Revolving Credit
Commitment Period up to, but not exceeding, at any one time outstanding the
amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that no
Revolving Credit Loan shall be made if, after giving effect to such Revolving
Credit Loan, Aggregate Outstandings would exceed the Total Revolving Credit
Commitment in effect at such time.  During the Revolving Credit
Commitment Period, the Company may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow
Revolving Credit Loans on or after the date hereof and prior to the Revolving
Credit Commitment Termination Date, subject to the terms, provisions and
limitations set forth herein.  The Revolving Credit Loans may be (i)
Adjusted Libor Loans, (ii) Alternate Base Rate Loans or (iii) a combination

    (b) The

amount of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, each borrowing of a Alternate
Base Rate Loan shall be in an amount not less than $1,000,000 or, if greater,
whole multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Each borrowing of an
Adjusted Libor Loan shall be in an amount not less than $1,000,000 or whole
multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Funding of all Revolving

    (c) The
Company shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ prior
written notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Total Revolving
Credit Commitment or from time to time to permanently reduce the amount of the
Total Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that no such
termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and
to any payments of the Revolving Credit Loans made on the effective date
thereof, the Aggregate Outstandings would exceed the Total Revolving Credit
Commitment as then reduced; provided, further, that any
such termination or reduction requiring prepayment of any Adjusted Libor Loan
shall be made only on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto
or on the date of payment in full of all amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.08
hereof as a result of such termination or reduction.  The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of each notice from the
Company to terminate or permanently reduce the amount of the Total Revolving
Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.01(c).  Any such
reduction shall be in the amount of $1,000,000 or whole multiples of $100,000 in
excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the amount of the Total Revolving
Credit Commitment then in effect and shall reduce each Lender’s Commitments on a
pro rata
basis.

     

     

    (d) The
several agreement of the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.01 shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Credit Commitment
Termination Date.  Upon such termination, the Company shall

    SECTION

Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Credit
Notes”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, each

and payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the
Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender.  Each Revolving Credit
Note shall (a) be dated the Closing Date, (b) be stated to mature on the
Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date and (c) bear interest from the date
thereof until paid in full on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to
time outstanding as provided in Section 3.01 hereof.  Each Lender is
authorized to record the date, Type and amount of each Revolving Credit Loan and
the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of each Revolving
Credit Loan in such Lender’s records or on the grid schedule annexed to the
Revolving Credit Note; provided, however, that the
failure of a Lender to set forth each such Revolving Credit Loan, payment and
other information shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company
to repay each Revolving Credit Loan made by such Lender in accordance with the
terms of its Revolving Credit Note and this Agreement.  The Revolving
Credit Note, the grid schedule and the books and records of each Lender shall
constitute presumptive evidence of the information so recorded absent
demonstrable error.

     

     

    SECTION

    (a) Generally.  Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, upon the written
request of a Letter of Credit Party in accordance herewith, the Issuing Lender
shall issue at any time during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period with pro
rata participation by all of the Lenders in accordance with their respective

      aggregate
amount not to exceed the Commercial Letter of Credit Commitment and (ii) Standby
Letters of Credit, in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Standby Letter of
Credit Commitment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Letter of Credit
shall be issued if, after giving effect to the same, the Aggregate Outstandings
would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment.  The Company
agrees that it shall be jointly and severally obligated with any other Letter of
Credit Party for all Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender hereunder
regardless of whether the Company is the named account party for such Letter of
Credit.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
the Issuing Lender shall be under no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit, if
any order, judgment or decree of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority
shall purport by its terms to enjoin, restrict or restrain the Issuing
Lender  in any respect relating to the issuance of such Letter of
Credit or a similar letter of credit, or any law, rule, regulation, policy,
guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Lender shall prohibit
or direct the Issuing Lender in any respect relating to the issuance of such
Letter of Credit or similar letter of credit, or shall impose upon the Issuing
Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit any restrictions, any reserve or
capital requirement or any loss, cost or expense not reimbursed by the Company
and/or the applicable Letter of Credit Party to the Issuing
Lender.  Each request for issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be in
writing and shall be received by the Issuing Lender by no later than 12:00 noon,
New York, New York time, on the day which is at least two Business Days prior to
the proposed date of issuance.  Such issuance shall occur by no later
than 5:00 p.m. on the proposed date of issuance or creation (assuming proper
prior notice as aforesaid).  Subject to the terms and conditions
contained herein, the expiry date, the type of Letter of Credit (i.e., Commercial
Letter of Credit or Standby Letter of Credit) and the amount and beneficiary of
the Letters of Credit will be as designated by the applicable Letter of Credit
Party.  The Issuing Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders quarterly of the amounts of all Letters of Credit issued hereunder
and of any extension, reduction, termination or amendment of any Letter of
Credit.  Each Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender hereunder
shall identify: (i) the dates of issuance and expiry of such Letter of Credit,
(ii) the amount of such Letter of Credit (which shall be a sum certain), (iii)
the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, and (iv) the drafts and other
documents necessary to be presented to the Issuing Lender upon drawing
thereunder.  The Company and each Letter of Credit Party agree to
execute and deliver to the Issuing Lender such further documents and instruments
in connection with any Letter of Credit issued hereunder (including without
limitation, applications therefor) as the Issuing Lender in accordance with its
customary practices may reasonably request.  Each Commercial Letter of
Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of the
date one year after the date of the issuance of such Commercial Letter of Credit
(or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such
renewal or extension).  Each Standby Letter of Credit shall expire not
later than the close of business on the date four years after the date of
issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, provided that if the
Letter of Credit Party so requests in any Letter of Credit application, the
Issuing Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a
Standby Letter of Credit that has an automatic extension provision which may
permit such Standby Letter of Credit to be extended at Issuing Lender’s option
for up to one additional year at a time and/or expire after the Commitment
Termination Date.  If this Agreement shall terminate, whether upon the
Commitment Termination Date or by reason of the occurrence and continuance of an
Event of Default or otherwise, the Company shall deposit in an account with the
Administrative Agent an amount in cash equal to the Aggregate Letters of Credit
Outstanding as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest
thereon.  Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as
collateral for the payment and performance

      of the
obligations of the Company under this Agreement.  The Administrative
Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right
of withdrawal, over such accounts.

    

     

    (b) Drawings Under Letters of
Credit.  The applicable Letter of Credit Party and the Company
hereby absolutely and unconditionally promise to pay the Issuing Lender not
later than 12:00 noon (New York, New York time) the amount of each drawing under
a Letter of Credit if the Company receives notice of such drawing or payment
prior to 10:00 a.m., New York, New York time, on the date of such drawing, or if
such notice has not been received by the Company prior to such time on such
date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York, New York time, on the Business
Day immediately following the day that the Company receives such notice; provided, however, that if the
Company fails to make such payment and no Default or Event of Default then
exists or would result therefrom, the Letter of Credit disbursement shall
automatically be financed as an Alternate Base Rate Loan in an equivalent
amount, and, to the extent so financed, the Company’s obligation to make such
payment shall be discharged and replaced by such an Alternate Base Rate
Loan.  If the Company fails to make such payment when due, the Issuing
Lender shall notify each Lender of the amount of the drawing under the
applicable Letter of Credit.  Each Lender agrees that on the first
Business Day after receipt of such notice, it will immediately make available by
no later than 12:00 noon New York, New York time, to the Issuing Lender at its
office located at the Payment Office in immediately available funds, its
Commitment Proportion of such drawing or payment, provided (i) each
Lender’s obligation shall be reduced by its Commitment Proportion of any
reimbursement by the Company in respect of any such drawing pursuant to this
Section 2.03 and (ii) no Lender shall be required to make payments to the
Issuing Lender with respect to a drawing which the Company reimbursed with the
proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan, as contemplated above, if such Lender fully
funded its Commitment Proportion of such Revolving Credit Loan in accordance
with Section 3.11 hereof.  Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to
this Section 2.03(b) to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any drawing under a
Letter of Credit (other than an Alternate Base Rate Loan as contemplated above)
shall not constitute a Revolving Credit Loan and shall not relieve the Company
of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender for such
drawing.  Each drawing under a Letter of Credit which is not paid on
the same date such drawing is made shall accrue interest, for each day from and
including the date of such drawing to but excluding the date that the Company
reimburses the Issuing Lender in full for such drawing or payment, at the rate
per annum then applicable to Revolving Credit Loans which are Alternate Base
Rate Loans; provided, however, that if the
Company fails to reimburse such drawing or payment when due pursuant to this
paragraph (b), then the Company shall pay to the Issuing Lender interest on the
amount of such drawing or payment at the rate per annum set forth in Section
3.01(c) hereof.  Interest accruing pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall be for the account of the Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on
and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) to
reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such Lender to the
extent of such payment.  The Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent of each drawing under a Letter of Credit.

     

     

    (c) Letter
of Credit Obligations Absolute.

     

     

    (i) The
obligation of the Company and of the relevant Letter of Credit Party to
reimburse the Issuing Lender as provided hereunder in respect of drawings under
Letters of Credit shall rank pari passu with the
obligation of the Company to repay the Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, and
shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        23

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      subject
to (ii) below.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
obligation of the Company and of the relevant Letter of Credit Party to
reimburse the Issuing Lender in respect of drawings under Letters of Credit for
which the Issuing Lender has received documents in accordance with the terms
hereof shall not be subject to any defense based on the non-application or
misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of any such drawing or the
legality, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Letters of Credit or any
related document, even though such document shall in fact prove to be invalid,
fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Company and/or the
relevant Letter of Credit Party, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any
financial institution or other party to which any Letter of Credit may be
transferred.  The Issuing Lender may accept or pay any draft presented
to it under any Letter of Credit regardless of when drawn or made and whether or
not negotiated, if such draft, accompanying certificate or documents and any
transmittal advice are presented or negotiated on or before the expiry date of
such Letter of Credit or any renewal or extension thereof then in effect, and is
in substantial compliance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of
Credit.  Furthermore, neither the Issuing Lender nor any of its
correspondents nor any Lender shall be responsible, as to any document presented
under a Letter of Credit which appears to be regular on its face, and appears on
its face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of the Letter of Credit,
for the validity or sufficiency of any signature or endorsement, for delay in
giving any notice or failure of any instrument to bear adequate reference to the
Letter of Credit, or for failure of any Person to note the amount of any draft
on the reverse of the Letter of Credit.  The Issuing Lender shall have
the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept any documents and to
decline to making payment under any Letter of Credit if the documents presented
are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of
Credit.

    

     

     

    (ii) Any
action, inaction or omission on the part of the Issuing Lender or any of its
correspondents under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related
instruments, documents or property, if in good faith and in conformity with such
laws, regulations or customs as are applicable, shall be binding upon the
Company and the other Letter of Credit Parties and shall not place the Issuing
Lender or any of its correspondents or any Lender under any liability to the
Company or any other Letter of Credit Party in the absence of (x) gross
negligence or willful misconduct by the Issuing Lender or its correspondents or
(y) the failure by the Issuing Lender to pay under a Letter of Credit after
presentation of a draft and documents strictly complying with such Letter of
Credit unless the Issuing Lender is prohibited from making such payment pursuant
to a court order.  The Issuing Lender’s rights, powers, privileges and
immunities specified in or arising under this Agreement are in addition to any
heretofore or at any time hereafter otherwise created or arising, whether by
statute or rule of law or contract.  All Letters of Credit issued
hereunder will, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided hereunder, be
governed by the UCP.

     

     

    (d) Obligations of Lenders in Respect of
Letters of Credit. Each Lender acknowledges that each Letter of Credit
issued by the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Agreement is issued by the Issuing
Lender on behalf of and with the ratable participation of all of the Lenders
(i.e., in accordance with their respective Commitment Proportions), and each
Lender agrees to make the payments required by Section 2.03(b) above and agrees
to be responsible for its pro rata share of all
liabilities incurred by the Issuing Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit
issued, established, opened or extended by the Issuing Lender pursuant to this
Agreement for the account of the Company.  Each Lender agrees with the
Issuing Lender and the other Lenders that its obligation to make the payments
required by Section 2.03(b) above shall not be 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        24

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      affected
in any way by any circumstances (other than the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Issuing Lender) occurring before or after the making of any
payment by the Issuing Lender pursuant to any Letter of Credit, including,
without limitation: (i) any modification or amendment of, or any consent,
waiver, release or forbearance with respect to, any of the terms of this
Agreement or any other instrument or document referred to herein; (ii) the
existence of any Default or Event of Default; or (iii) any change of any kind
whatsoever in the financial position or creditworthiness of the
Company.

    

     

     

    (e) Replacement of the Issuing
Lender.  The Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time by
written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the replaced
Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender.  The Administrative
Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing
Lender.  At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the
Company shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced
Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof.  From and after the
effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Lender shall
have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Lender under this Agreement
with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter, and (ii) references
herein to the term "Issuing Lender" shall be deemed to refer to such successor or
to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing
Lenders, as the context shall require.  After the replacement of an
Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party
hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing
Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued prior to
such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of
Credit.

     

     

    (f) Letters of Credit Issued for
Guarantors.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or
outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account
of, a Letter of Credit Party other than the Company, the Company shall be
obligated to reimburse the Issuing Lender hereunder for any and all drawings
under such Letter of Credit.  The Company hereby acknowledges that the
issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any other Letter of Credit
Party inures to the benefit of the Company, and that the Company’s business
derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such other Letter of Credit
Parties.

     

     

    (g) Existing Letters of
Credit.  The Company and the Lenders agree that, from and after
the Closing Date, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the
initial extension of credit hereunder as set forth in Section 5.01 hereof, the
Existing Letters of Credit shall be Letters of Credit for purposes of this
Agreement.

     

     

    SECTION
2.04. Increase
of the Maximum Revolving Credit Amount by the Company.

     

     

    (a) The
Company may at any time, but only two (2) times during the term of this
Agreement, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request that the
Administrative Agent increase the maximum Revolving Credit Commitments (the
"Revolver
Increase") by an amount not to exceed $50,000,000 in the aggregate by
adding one or more new lenders (which may include any existing Lender desiring
to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment) as Lenders under this Agreement
(each, a "Section 2.04
New Lender") who wish to participate in the Revolver Increase; provided, however, that each
then existing Non-Defaulting Lender agrees to the Revolver Increase pursuant to
Section 10.04 hereof and provided, further, that (w)
each Revolver Increase shall be in a minimum amount of $20,000,000, (x) no
Default or Event of 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        25

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      Default
shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date of such request or as of
the effective date of the Revolver Increase (the “Increase Date”) or
shall occur as a result thereof, (y) any Section 2.04 New Lender that becomes
party to this Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall satisfy the
requirements of Section 10.05 hereof and shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent and consented to by the Company and each then existing
Non-Defaulting Lender hereunder and (z) the other conditions set forth in this
Section 2.04 are satisfied.

    

     

     

    (b) On each
Increase Date, each Section 2.04 New Lender that has chosen to participate in
the Revolver Increase shall, subject to the conditions set forth in Section
2.04(a), become a Lender party to this Agreement as of the Increase Date and
shall have a Revolving Credit Commitment in an amount equal to its share of the
Revolver Increase (and its Commitment Proportion shall be equal to the
percentage equivalent of a fraction the numerator of which shall be the
Revolving Credit Commitment of such Section 2.04 New Lender and the denominator
of which shall be the Revolving Credit Commitment of all Lenders after giving
effect to the Revolver Increase); provided, however, that (y) the
Administrative Agent shall have received from the Company payment of any fees
and/or expenses then due with respect to the Revolver Increase and the
Administrative Agent shall have received from the Company payment of all out of
pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection
with the Revolver Increase and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received
on or before the Increase Date the following, each dated such date:

     

     

    (i) an
assumption agreement from each Section 2.04 New Lender participating in the
Revolver Increase, if any, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, duly executed by such Section 2.04 New Lender, the
Administrative Agent and the Company;

     

     

    (ii) a
certificate of the Company certifying that no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a result of the Revolver
Increase;

     

     

    (iii) a
certificate of the Company certifying that the representations and warranties
made by the Company herein and in the other Loan Documents are true and complete
in all material respects with the same force and effect as if made on and as of
such date (or, to the extent any such representation or warranty specifically
relates to an earlier date, such representation or warranty is true and complete
in all material respects as of such earlier date);

     

     

    (iv) supplements
or modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including any
new Revolving Credit Notes to Section 2.04 New Lenders, that the Administrative
Agent reasonably deems necessary in order to document the Revolver Increase and
otherwise assure and give effect to the rights of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and

     

     

    (v) such
other documents, instruments and information as the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably deem necessary in connection with the Revolver Increase.

     

     

    (c) On the
Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in this Section
2.04, the Administrative Agent shall (i) effect a settlement of all the
Aggregate Outstandings among the Lenders that will reflect the adjustments to
the Revolving Credit 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        26

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      Commitments
and Commitment Proportion of the Lenders as a result of the Revolver Increase
and (ii) notify the Lenders, any Section 2.04 New Lenders participating in the
Revolver Increase and the Company, on or before noon (New York time), by
telecopier or e-mail, of the occurrence of the Revolver Increase to be effected
on the Increase Date.

    PROVISIONS
RELATING TO ALL EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT;

AND PAYMENTS

     

     

    SECTION
3.01. Interest
Rate; Continuation and Conversion of Loans.

     

     

    (a) Each
Alternate Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period from the date
thereof on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a fluctuating rate per annum
equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

     

     

    (b) Each
Adjusted Libor Loan shall bear interest for the Interest Period applicable
thereto on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the
Reserve Adjusted Libor determined for each Interest Period thereof in accordance
with the terms hereof plus the Applicable
Margin.

     

     

    (c) Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default the
outstanding principal amount of the Loans (excluding any defaulted payment of
principal accruing interest in accordance with clause (d) below) shall, at the
option of the Required Lenders, bear interest payable on demand at a rate of
interest [*] per annum in
excess of the interest rate otherwise then in effect.

     

     

    (d) If the
Company shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any
portion of any Loan or any other amount becoming due hereunder, whether with
respect to reimbursement of drawings under Letters of Credit, interest, fees,
expenses or otherwise, the Company shall pay interest on such default amount
accruing from the date of such default (without reference to any period of
grace) up to and including the date of actual payment (after as well as before
judgment) at a rate of [*]
per annum in excess of the rate otherwise in effect or, if no rate is in effect,
[*] per annum in excess of
the Alternate Base Rate.

     

     

    (e) The
Company may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Loans from Adjusted
Libor Loans to Alternate Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at
least three Business Day’s prior irrevocable written notice of such election,
provided that
any such conversion of Adjusted Libor Loans shall only be made on the last day
of an Interest Period with respect thereto or upon the date of payment in full
of any amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof as a result of such
conversion.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.  The Company may elect from
time to time to convert outstanding Loans from Alternate Base Rate Loans to
Adjusted Libor

      Loans by
giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice of such election not
later than 11:00 a.m. New York, New York time, three Business Days prior to the
date of the proposed conversion.  Upon receipt of such notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and each
Lender thereof.  All or any part of outstanding Alternate Base Rate
Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that each
conversion shall be in the principal amount of 1,000,000 or whole multiples of
$100,000 in excess thereof, and further provided that no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.  Any conversion to or from Adjusted Libor Loans hereunder
shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after
giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all Adjusted Libor
Loans having the same Interest Period shall not be less than
$1,000,000.

    

     

     

    (f) Any
Adjusted Libor Loan in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 may be continued
as such upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by
compliance by the Company with the notice provisions contained in the definition
of Interest Period; provided, that no
Adjusted Libor Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to
a Alternate Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period in effect when
the Administrative Agent is notified, or otherwise has actual knowledge, of such
Default or Event of Default.

     

     

    (g) If the
Company shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any
Adjusted Libor Loan in accordance with the definition of “Interest Period” set
forth in Section 1.01 hereof, the Company shall be deemed to have selected an
Interest Period of one month.

     

     

    (h) No Loan
may be converted to or continued as an Adjusted Libor Loan with an Interest
Period that extends beyond the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination
Date.

     

     

    (i) Notwithstanding
any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to
any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith
deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the
Highest Lawful Rate.  If the rate of interest (determined without
regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the
Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall
bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due
hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if
the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been
in effect.  In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid
in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase
provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have
been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement
had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the
Company shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference
between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have
been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in
effect.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders
and the Company to conform strictly to any applicable usury
laws.  Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives
any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful
Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously
paid, shall at such Lender’s

      option be
applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to
the Company.

    

     

     

    (j) Interest
on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and shall
be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the
actual days elapsed.  Any rate of interest on the Loans or other
Obligations which is computed on the basis of the Prime Rate shall change when
and as the Prime Rate changes in accordance with the definition
thereof.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an
interest rate or fee hereunder shall, absent demonstrable error, be conclusive
and binding for all purposes.

     

     

    SECTION
3.02. Use of
Proceeds.  The
proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be used for general working capital
purposes, to fund capital expenditures, to finance Permitted Acquisitions and
other corporate purposes.  Letters of Credit shall be issued by the
Issuing Lender for the account of the Company or any other Letter of Credit
Party and shall be issued, for purposes in connection with, and in the ordinary
course of, the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries consistent with
historical purposes of the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the date
hereof.

     

     

    SECTION
3.03. Prepayments.

     

    (a) Voluntary.  The
Company may, at any time and from time to time, prepay the then outstanding
Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, except as provided in
Section 3.08 hereof, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent (or
telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) not later than 11:00 a.m. New
York, New York time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment with
respect to prepayments of Adjusted Libor Loans, or 11:00 a.m. New York, New York
time on the date of prepayment with respect to Alternate Base Rate
Loans.  Each notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the date
and amount of prepayment and whether such prepayment is of Adjusted Libor Loans
or Alternate Base Rate Loans or a combination thereof, and if a combination
thereof, the amount of prepayment allocable to each and the account number of
the Company to be charged for such payment.  Upon receipt of such
notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender
thereof.  If such notice is given, the Company shall make such
prepayment, and the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable, on
the date specified therein.  Each partial prepayment pursuant to this
Section 3.03 hereof shall be in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000
or whole multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, unless the aggregate
outstanding principal balance of Loans is less than $1,000,000 in which case
such prepayment may be in an amount equal to the then outstanding principal
balance.

     

     

    (b) Mandatory.  To the
extent that the Aggregate Outstandings exceeds the Available Revolving Credit
Commitment, then the Company shall immediately prepay the Revolving Credit Loans
to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess.  To the extent that
such prepayments are insufficient to eliminate such excess, the Company shall
pledge to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, Cash
Collateral in an amount equal to the amount of such excess, which Cash
Collateral shall secure the reimbursement obligations of the Company with
respect to drawings under Letters of Credit.

    (c) General Provisions Applicable to
Prepayment.  Unless otherwise directed by the Company pursuant
to Section 3.03(a) hereof, partial prepayments of any Loan shall be applied
first to outstanding Alternate Base Rate Loans and then to Adjusted Libor Loans
having the shortest remaining Interest Periods.

     

     

    SECTION
3.04. Fees.

     

    (a) The
Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of, and pro
rata distribution to, each Lender a commitment fee on the average daily unused
portion of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment from the date of this Agreement
until the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date at a rate per annum equal
to the Unused Fee Rate, based on a year of 360 days, payable in arrears on the
last day of March, June, September, and December of each year commencing June
30, 2009, on the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date and on each date
the Revolving Credit Commitment is permanently reduced in whole or in
part.

     

     

    (b) The
Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of, and pro rata
distribution to, the Lenders a commission with respect to the Lenders’
participation in Standby Letters of Credit equal to the then applicable Adjusted
Libor Rate Margin for Adjusted Libor Loans multiplied by the average daily
amount of the Standby LC Exposure during the period from and including the
Closing Date but excluding the later of (a) the Revolving Credit Commitment
Termination Date and (b) the date on which such Lender ceases to have any
Standby LC Exposure. Such commissions with
respect to Standby Letters of Credit shall be payable in arrears on the last
Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing
June 30, 2009; provided that all
such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Total Commitment terminates
and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Total Commitment
terminates shall be payable on demand.  All commissions with respect
to Standby Letters of Credit shall be computed on the basis of a year of three
hundred sixty (360) days and shall be payable for the actual number of days
elapsed. 

     

     

    (c) The
Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of, and pro rata
distribution to each Lender, a payment fee equal to [*] of the stated amount of each
Commercial Letter of Credit upon payment by the Issuing Lender of such
Commercial Letter of Credit.

     

     

    (d) The
Company shall pay Administrative Agent, for its own account, customary
administrative, amendment, transfer and other fees as the Administrative Agent
customarily charges in connection with any Letter of Credit issued
hereunder.

Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on the Closing Date, an
origination fee of [*],

    (f) In
addition, the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account
such fees as are set forth in a separate fee letter, dated June 24, 2009,
provided by the Administrative Agent to the Company.

     

     

    SECTION
3.05. Inability
to Determine Interest Rate.  In
the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined in good faith
(which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company, absent
demonstrable error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the London
interbank market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining
the Reserve Adjusted Libor applicable pursuant to Section 3.01(b) hereof for any
requested Interest Period with respect to (a) the making of an Adjusted Libor
Loan, (b) an Adjusted Libor Loan that will result from the requested conversion
of an Alternate Base Rate Loan into an Adjusted Libor Loan or (c) the
continuation of an Adjusted Libor Loan beyond the expiration of the then current
Interest Period with respect thereto, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith
give notice by telephone of such determination, promptly confirmed in writing,
to the Company and each Lender of such determination.  Until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to
the suspension described herein no longer exist (which notice shall be given
promptly after the Administrative Agent has knowledge thereof), the Company
shall not have the right to request or continue an Adjusted Libor Loan or to
convert an Alternate Base Rate Loan to an Adjusted Libor Loan.

     

     

    SECTION
3.06. Illegality.
Notwithstanding
any other provisions herein, if any introduction of or change in any law,
regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof,
in each case, on or after the Closing Date, shall make it unlawful for any
Lender to make or maintain Adjusted Libor Loans as contemplated by this
Agreement, such Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such
circumstances, promptly confirmed in writing, to the Administrative Agent, which
notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to the Company and the
other Lenders and (a) the commitment of such Lender to make and to allow
conversion to or continuations of Adjusted Libor Loans shall forthwith be
cancelled for the duration of such illegality and (b) the Loans then outstanding
as Adjusted Libor Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Alternate
Base Rate Loans on the next succeeding last day of each Interest Period
applicable to such Adjusted Libor Loans or within such earlier period as may be
required by law.  The Company shall pay to such Lender, upon demand,
any additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.08
hereof.  Each affected Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative
Agent of the cessation of any such illegality.

     

     

    SECTION
3.07. Increased
Costs.

     

    (a) In the
event that any introduction of or change in, on or after the Closing Date, any
applicable law, regulation, treaty, order, directive or in the interpretation or
application thereof (including, without limitation, any request, guideline or
policy, whether or not having the force of law, of or from any central bank or
other Governmental Authority, agency or instrumentality and including, without
limitation, Regulation D), by any authority charged with the administration or
interpretation thereof shall occur, which:

     

     

    (i) shall
subject any Lender or the Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Agreement, any Note, any Loan or any Letter of Credit or change
the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the Issuing Lender of
principal, 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        31

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      interest,
fees or any other amount payable hereunder (other than any tax that is measured
with respect to the overall net income of such Lender or the Issuing Lender or
Lending Office of such Lender or the Issuing Lender and that is imposed by the
United States of America, or any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein, or by any jurisdiction in which such Lender’s Lending Office
or the Issuing Lender’s Lending Office is located, or by any jurisdiction in
which such Lender is organized, has its principal office or is managed and
controlled); or

    

     

     

    (ii) shall
impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan
or similar requirement (whether or not having the force of law) against assets
held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or
loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any
office of any Lender or the Issuing Lender; or

     

     

    (iii) shall
impose on any Lender or the Issuing Lender any other condition, or change
therein;

     

     

    and the
result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost (other than for taxes,
which are the subject of Section 3.09) to such Lender or the Issuing Lender of
making, renewing or maintaining or participating in advances or extensions of
credit hereunder or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, in each case by
an amount which such Lender or the Issuing Lender deems material, then, in any
such case, the Company shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, upon written
demand, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for
such increased costs or reduction.

     

     

    (b) If, on or
after the Closing Date, any Lender or the Issuing Lender shall have determined
that the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital
adequacy, or any change therein, 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 Lender or the Issuing Lender (or any Lending Office of any Lender or the
Issuing Lender) or any Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, with
any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the
force of the law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has
or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the
Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing
Lender’s holding company as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a
level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption,
change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing
Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s
holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such
Lender or the Issuing Lender to be material, then from time to time, the Company
shall pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender the additional amount or amounts
as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding
company for such reduction.  Such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s
determination of such amounts shall be conclusive and binding on the Company
absent demonstrable error.

     

     

    (c) A
certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts payable pursuant to
Sections 3.07(a) and 3.07(b) hereof shall be conclusive absent demonstrable
error.  The Company shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender the
amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt
thereof.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        32

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (d) In the
event any Lender or the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to compensation
pursuant to Section 3.07(a) or Section 3.07(b) hereof, it shall promptly notify
the Administrative Agent and the Company of the event by reason of which it has
become so entitled; provided, however, no failure
on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation under
clause (a) or clause (b) above on one occasion shall constitute a waiver of its
right to demand compensation on any other occasion.

     

     

    (e) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary in Section 3.07(a) or Section 3.07(b), the
Company shall only be required to compensate a Lender in respect of any such
increased costs or reduction in rate of return occurring after such time as such
Lender becomes a party to this Agreement.

     

    

     

    SECTION
3.08. Indemnity.
The
Company agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from
any actual loss, cost or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur,
including, without limitation, interest or fees payable by such Lender to
lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain Adjusted Libor Loans
hereunder, as a consequence of (a) default by the Company in payment of the
principal amount of or interest on any Adjusted Libor Loan, (b) default by the
Company to accept or make a borrowing of an Adjusted Libor Loan or a conversion
into or continuation of an Adjusted Libor Loan after the Company has requested
such borrowing, conversion or continuation, (c) default by the Company in making
any prepayment of any Adjusted Libor Loan after the Company gives a notice in
accordance with Section 3.03 hereof and/or (d) the making of any payment or
prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of an Adjusted Libor Loan or the
making of any conversion of an Adjusted Libor Loan to an Alternate Base Rate
Loan on a day which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period with
respect thereto.  A certificate of a Lender setting forth such amounts
shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.  The Company shall pay
such Lender the amount shown as due on any certificate within 30 days after
receipt thereof.

     

     

    SECTION
3.09. Taxes.

     

    (a) All
payments made by the Company under this Agreement shall be made free and clear
of, and without reduction for or on account of, any present or future taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or
hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental
Authority, excluding income and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of income
taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or a Lender as a
result of a present, former or future connection between the jurisdiction of the
government or the taxing authority imposing such tax and such Administrative
Agent, Issuing Lender or Lender or the Lending Office of such Administrative
Agent, Issuing Lender or Lender (excluding a connection arising solely from such
Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender or Lender having executed this Agreement,
the Notes or the Loan Documents) or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein (such non-excluded taxes being called “Non-Excluded
Taxes”).  If any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld
from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any
Lender hereunder, or under the Notes, the amount so payable to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Lender shall be increased to
the extent necessary to yield to such Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender
or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and free and clear of
all 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        33

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      liability
in respect of such Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts
payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and
the Notes, provided, however, that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this or the preceding sentence, the
Company shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any
Lender, and shall be entitled to reduce the amount of any payment made by the
Company under this Agreement by the amount of Non-Excluded Taxes withheld from
that payment, with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are United States
withholding taxes imposed (or branch profits taxes imposed) on amounts payable
to such Lender at the time the Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except
to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of
assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Company with respect to such
Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this Section 3.09(a), or (ii) that are imposed as
a result of any event occurring after the Lender becomes a Lender other than a
change in law or regulation or the introduction of any law or regulation or a
change in interpretation or administration of any law. Whenever any Non-Excluded
Taxes are payable by the Company, as promptly as possible thereafter, the
Company shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the
account of the Issuing Lender or such Lender, as the case may be, a certified
copy of an original official receipt showing, or other proof reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent of, payment thereof.  If the
Company fails to pay Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing
authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or
other required documentary evidence, the Company shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders for any incremental
taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Lender as a result of any such failure
together with any expenses payable by such Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Lender or such Lender in connection therewith; provided that the
Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender or Lender has provided the Company with
notice thereof as required by Section 10.01, accompanied by a demand for
payment.

    

     

     

    (b) If a
Lender or the Administrative Agent becomes aware that it is entitled to claim a
refund from a Governmental Authority in respect of any Non-Excluded Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified by the Company or with respect to which the
Company has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.09, it promptly
shall notify the Company in writing of the availability of such refund claim and
shall make a timely claim to such taxation authority for such refund at the
Company’s expense.  If a Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a
refund (including pursuant to a claim for refund made pursuant to the preceding
sentence) or a permanent net tax benefit in respect of any Non-Excluded Taxes as
to which it has been indemnified by the Company or with respect to which the
Company has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.09, it shall
within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over the amount of such refund
or permanent net tax benefit to the Company, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses of such Lender or the Administrative Agent and without interest (other
than interest paid by the relevant taxation authority with respect to such
refund); provided that the
Company, upon the request of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, agrees to
repay the amount paid over to the Company (plus penalties, interest or other
reasonable charges) to such Lender or the Administrative Agent in the event such
Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such
taxation authority or loses such net tax benefit.

     

     

    (c) Any
Issuing Lender or Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction
other than the United States or a state thereof (a “Foreign Lender”) and
that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the
laws of the United States 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        34

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      or under
any treaty to which the United States is a party with respect to payments under
this Agreement shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed
and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit those
payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of
withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Company or
the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative
Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine
whether or not that Lender is subject to backup withholding or information
reporting requirements.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Company and the
Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the
recipient) on or prior to the date on which that Foreign Lender becomes a Lender
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the
Company or the Administrative Agent), but only to the extent that the 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
the 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 Company 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 Company to determine the withholding or deduction required to be
made.

     

     

    SECTION
3.10. Pro Rata
Treatment and Payments.  (a)
Each borrowing by the Company from the Lenders, each conversion of a Loan
pursuant to Section 3.01(e) hereof or continuation of a Loan pursuant to Section
3.01(f) hereof, each payment by the Company on account of any fee (other than
with respect to fees which are expressly payable to the Administrative Agent or
the Issuing Lender for its own account), reimbursements by the Company to the
Issuing Lender with respect to drawings under Letters of Credit pursuant to
Section 2.03 hereof, and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders
hereunder shall be made pro rata according to the
respective relevant Commitment Proportions of the Lenders.  Each
payment (including each prepayment) by the Company on account of principal of
and interest on each Loan shall be made pro rata according to the
respective outstanding principal amounts of such Loans held by each
Lender.  All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the
Company on account of principal, interest, fees and reimbursement obligations
shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders (except as specified
above), at the Payment Office of the Administrative 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        35

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      Agent in
Dollars in immediately available funds.  The Administrative Agent
shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like
funds by wire transfer of each Lender’s portion of such payment to such Lender
for the account of its Lending Office.  The Administrative Agent may,
in its sole discretion, directly charge principal and interest payments due in
respect of the Loans to the Company’s accounts at the Payment Office or other
office of the Administrative Agent.  The Issuing Lender may, in its
sole discretion, directly charge reimbursement obligations with respect to
Letters of Credit to the Company’s accounts at any office of the Issuing
Lender.  Except as otherwise provided in the definition of “Interest Period”, if
any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business
Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and,
with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the
then applicable rate during such extension.

    

     

     

    SECTION
3.11. Funding and Disbursement of
Loans.

     

    (a) Each
Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder available to the
Administrative Agent at the Payment Office for the account of such office and
the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. New York, New York time on the Borrowing
Date in Dollars in immediately available funds.  Unless any applicable
condition specified in Article V has not been satisfied, the amount so received
by the Administrative Agent will be made available to the Company at the Payment
Office by crediting the account of the Company with such amount and in like
funds as received by the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that if the
proceeds of any Loan or any portion thereof are to be used to prepay outstanding
Loans or Letter of Credit obligations, then the Administrative Agent shall apply
such proceeds for such purpose to the extent necessary and credit the balance,
if any, to the Company’s account.

     

     

    (b) Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior
to a proposed Borrowing Date that such Lender will not make the amount which
would constitute its Commitment Proportion of the borrowing on such Borrowing
Date available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume
that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on
such Borrowing Date, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Company a corresponding amount.  If
such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent until a date after
such Borrowing Date, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand
interest on such Lender’s Commitment Proportion of such borrowing at a rate
equal to the greater of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate and
(ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation during such period, from and including
such Borrowing Date to the date on which such Lender’s Commitment Proportion of
such borrowing shall have become immediately available to the Administrative
Agent.  A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any
Lender with respect to any amounts due pursuant to this Section 3.11(b) shall be
conclusive absent demonstrable error.  Nothing herein shall be deemed
to relieve any Lender from its obligations to fulfill its commitment hereunder
or to prejudice any right which the Company may have against any Lender as a
result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

     

     

    SECTION
3.12. Change of Lending Office;
Removal of Lender.  Each
Lender agrees that (i) if it makes any demand for, or there has been any,
payment under Section 3.07 or 3.09, or if any adoption or change of the type
described in Section 3.07 or 3.09 shall occur with 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        36

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      respect
to it, it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and
legal and regulatory restrictions and so long as such efforts would not be
materially disadvantageous to it, as determined in its sole discretion) to
designate a different lending office if the making of such a designation would
reduce or obviate the need for the Company to make payments under Section 3.07
or 3.09, or would eliminate or reduce the effect of any adoption or change
described in Section 3.07 or 3.09 or (ii) if such Lender (x) is unable to
designate a different lending office which would result in Section 3.07 or 3.09
no longer being applicable to such Lender, (y) has refused to consent to a
proposed change, waiver, discharge or release with respect to this Agreement or
any other Loan Document which has been approved in accordance with Section 10.04
and, in the case of this clause (y), no Event of Default then exists or (z) is a
Defaulting Lender, it will, upon at least 5 Business Days' notice from the
Company to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, assign, pursuant to and in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10.05, to one or more assignees
designated by the Company in consultation with the Administrative Agent all, but
not less than all, of such Lender's rights and obligations hereunder, without
recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Lender, for a purchase price
equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Aggregate Outstandings then
owing to such Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any
accrued but unpaid utilization fees owing thereto and, in addition, all
additional costs and reimbursements and indemnities, if any, owing in respect of
such Lender's Commitment hereunder at such time shall be paid to such
Lender.

    

     

     

    SECTION
3.13. Defaulting
Lender.

     

     

    (a)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Lender has become a
Defaulting Lender, all rights and obligations hereunder of such Lender and of
the other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express
provisions of this Section 3.13 for the Default Period.

     

     

    (b)           Loans
shall be incurred pro rata from Lenders (the “Non-Defaulting
Lenders”) which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective
Commitment Proportions, and no Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender shall
be increased as a result of such Lender Default.  Amounts received in
respect of principal of any Type of Loans shall be applied to reduce the
applicable Loans of each Non-Defaulting Lender pro rata based on the aggregate
of the outstanding Loans of that Type of all Lenders at the time of such
application; provided, that, the
Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender
any payments received by the Administrative Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s
benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any
payments hereunder (including any principal, interest or
fees).  Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid
to or retained by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent
may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to the Company the amount of such
payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting
Lender.

     

     

    (c)           A
Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to the
Administrative Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any
matters relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  All
amendments, waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents may be made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of
the definition of “Required Lenders”, a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to
be a Lender and not to have Loans outstanding.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        37

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (d)           Other
than as expressly set forth in this Section 3.13, the rights and obligations of
a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify the Administrative
Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged.  Nothing
in this Section 3.13 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall alter such
obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender
hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which the Company, The Administrative
Agent or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any
default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder.

     

     

    (e)           If
any LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, and
provided that if a circumstance described in clause “(e)” of the definition of
Defaulting Lender shall occur, such Defaulting Lender shall also fail to comply
with its funding obligations hereunder, then:

     

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
               

            	
              
                    (i)    all or
      any part of such LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting

                    (v)    if any
      Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor
      reallocated pursuant to this Section, then, without prejudice to any

      facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting
      Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s
      Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and the letter of credit
      fees payable under Section 3.04 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s
      LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is

    (g)           In
the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company, and the Issuing Bank each
agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused
such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall
be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit
Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the
Revolving Credit Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall
determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in
accordance with its Commitment Proportion.

change results in a change in the method of calculation of financial covenants,
standards or terms in this Agreement, then the Company, the Administrative Agent

such provisions of this Agreement so as to reflect equitably such Accounting
Changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Company’s

Accounting Changes had not been made. Until such time as such an amendment shall
have been executed and delivered by the Company, the Administrative Agent and
the Required Lenders, all financial covenants, standards and terms in the

Changes had not occurred. “Accounting Changes” refers to changes in accounting
principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement
or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants or, if applicable, the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.10 or Section
7.12 to the contrary, for purposes of the determination of Consolidated EBITDA
for any purpose herein, no Accounting Change presently pending and/or
subsequently adopted which would otherwise require that SFAS No. 141 and EITF
Issue No. 95-3 no longer be used pursuant to Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles shall be binding or applicable hereunder.

Lenders; and

     

     

    (c) any
Subsidiary may dissolve, liquidate or wind up its affairs at any time if such
dissolution, liquidation or winding up is not disadvantageous to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in any material respect.

     

     

    SECTION

Company, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries, whether now or
hereafter outstanding, or make any other distribution in respect thereof, either
directly or indirectly, whether in cash, securities or property or in

thereof; provided, however, that any
Subsidiary of the Company or a Guarantor

      may make
such distributions to its parent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and
subject to the next sentence, the Company shall be permitted to pay cash
dividends and to repurchase Equity Securities issued by the Company for cash
provided that
(i) the aggregate amount of such dividends plus cash amounts expended to
repurchase Equity Securities shall not exceed (a) in any fiscal year, fifty
percent (50%) of the prior fiscal year's Consolidated Net Income commencing with
the fiscal year ending July 31, 2009, plus (b) an aggregate amount equal to

demonstrating that, on a pro forma basis, the Company will be in compliance with
the financial condition covenants of Section 7.12 hereof after giving effect to
such dividend or repurchase.

into any transaction, including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, or
exchange of property or the rendering of any service, with any Affiliate except

or such Subsidiary than they would obtain in a comparable arms-length
transaction with a Person not an Affiliate.

     

     

    SECTION
7.15. Limitation on Negative
Pledges.  Enter
into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any Person (other than the

grant any Lien upon any of its assets other than those Permitted Liens currently
in existence.

     

     

    SECTION
7.16. Convertible
Notes.  Amend,
modify or supplement the Indenture in any manner which would result in the

Commitments shall automatically terminate and interest, principal and amounts
referred to in the preceding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall be immediately
due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, or other notice of any
kind, all of which are expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the

the Company at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated,
be applied to satisfy other Obligations, with any amount remaining after such
satisfactions to be returned to the Company or paid to such other party as may
legally be entitled to the same.

IX

    THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

     

    SECTION
9.01. Appointment, Powers and
Immunities. Each Lender
hereby  appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as its
agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with such powers as are
specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall not
have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall not be a trustee for any
Lender, nor is the Administrative Agent acting in a fiduciary capacity of any
kind under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or in respect thereof or
in respect of any Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible to the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, in any
certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any
of them under, 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 any other document referred to or
provided for herein or therein or for the collectibility of the Loans or for the
validity, effectiveness or value of any interest or security covered by the
Pledge Agreements or for the value of any collateral or for the validity or
effectiveness of any assignment, mortgage, pledge, security agreement, financing
statement, 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        65

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      document
or instrument, or for the filing, recording, re-filing, continuing or
re-recording of any thereof or for any failure by the Company, any Guarantor or
any of their respective Subsidiaries to perform any of its Obligations hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents.  The Administrative Agent may take
all actions by itself and/or it may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact, and
shall not be responsible to any Lender, except as to money or the securities
received by it or its authorized agents, for the negligence or misconduct of
itself or its employees or of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact, if such
agents or attorneys-in-fact are selected by it with reasonable
care.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors,
officers, employees or agents shall be liable or responsible for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own
gross negligence or willful misconduct.

    

     

     

    SECTION
9.02. Reliance by Administrative
Agent.  The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability to any Lender for relying upon, any certification, notice or other
communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telegram, facsimile or
cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent
by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements
of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Administrative Agent.  As to any matters not expressly provided for by
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall in
all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents in accordance with instructions signed by the
Required Lenders, or such other number of Lenders as is specified in Section
10.04 hereof, and such instructions of the Required Lenders or other number of
Lenders as aforesaid and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto
shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

     

     

    SECTION
9.03. Events of
Default.   The
Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of
a Default or Event of Default (other than the non-payment of principal of or
interest on the Loans or of fees to the extent the same is required to be paid
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders) unless the
Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Company specifying
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 of the occurrence of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall
give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent
shall (subject to Section 9.07 hereof) take such action with respect to such
Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders, except as otherwise
provided in Section 10.04 hereof; provided that unless
and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the
Administrative Agent may (but is not 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 interest of the Lenders.

     

     

    SECTION
9.04. Rights as a
Lender.  With
respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, the Administrative Agent in
its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not
acting as the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall,
unless the context otherwise indicates, include each entity which is the
Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.  Each entity which is
the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may (without having to account
therefore to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to and 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        66

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      generally
engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Company or its
Affiliates, as if it were not acting as the Administrative Agent, and, except to
the extent otherwise herein specifically set forth, each entity which is the
Administrative Agent may accept fees and other consideration from the Company or
its Affiliates, for services in connection with this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents or otherwise without having to account for the same to the
Lenders.

    

     

     

    SECTION
9.05. Indemnification.  The
Lenders shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed
by the Company under Section 10.03 hereof), ratably in accordance with the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans made by the Lenders (or, if
no Loans are at the time outstanding, ratably in accordance with their
respective Commitments), for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as the Administrative
Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents or any other documents contemplated by or referred to
herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
(including, without limitation, the costs and expenses which the Company is
obligated to pay under Section 10.03 hereof or under the applicable provisions
of any other Loan Document) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of
any other Loan Document, provided that no
Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative
Agent.

     

     

    SECTION
9.06. Non-Reliance on
Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each
Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the
Company and decision to enter into this Agreement and 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 analysis and decisions in taking or not
taking action under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.  The
Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the
performance or observance by the Company of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or
to inspect the properties or books of the Company.  Except for
notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be
furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents, or furnished to the Administrative Agent with counterparts
or copies for the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (which
the Administrative Agent shall forward to the Lenders), the Administrative Agent
shall not have any duty to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the
Company, which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any
of its Affiliates.

     

     

    SECTION
9.07. Failure to
Act.  Except
for actions expressly required of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under
the Pledge Agreements, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully
justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or thereunder unless it shall
be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability
(except gross

    negligence
and willful misconduct) and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of
taking or continuing to take any such action.

     

    SECTION
9.08. Resignation of the
Administrative Agent.  Subject
to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as
provided in this Section 9.08, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time
by notifying the Lenders and the Company.  Upon any such resignation,
the Required Lenders shall have the right,  with the approval of the
Company provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be
continuing, and such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned, to appoint a successor to such Administrative Agent.  If
no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders (with the
approval of the Company) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
after the resigning Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then
the resigning Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a
successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank of similar standing with an
office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank.  Upon
the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent, and
the resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder as of such date.  The fees payable by the
Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable
to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such
successor.  After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder,
the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03 hereof shall continue in effect
for the benefit of such resigning Administrative Agent in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative
Agent.

     

     

    SECTION
9.09. Sharing of Collateral and
Payments.  In
the event that at any time any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of the
Obligations, or receive any collateral in respect thereof, whether voluntarily
or involuntarily, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, set-off or
counterclaim against the Company or otherwise, which results in it receiving
more than its pro rata share of the aggregate payments with respect to all of
the Obligations (other than any payment expressly provided hereunder to be
distributed on other than a pro rata basis, including pursuant to an assignment
or participation of a Lender’s interest), then such Lender  shall be
deemed to have simultaneously purchased from the other Lenders a share in their
Obligations so that the amount of the Obligations held by each of the Lenders
shall be pro rata; provided, however, that if all
or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from
the Lender which received the proportionate over-payment, such purchase shall be
rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such
recovery, but without interest.  The Company agrees, to the extent it
may do so under applicable law, that each Lender so purchasing a portion of
another Lender’s Loan or participation in any Letter of Credit may exercise all
rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with
respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of
such portion.

indemnified persons is a party thereto, and to reimburse each of such

expenses incurred in connection with the investigation or defending any of the
foregoing; provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any indemnified
person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments or related
expenses to the extent arising from the willful misconduct or gross negligence
of such indemnified person, (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for
all its reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the preparation and execution of and any amendment, supplement or modification
to this Agreement, the Notes any other Loan Documents, and any other documents
prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation of the

    SECTION
10.04. Amendments and
Waivers.  With
the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the
Company may, from time to time, enter into written amendments, supplements or
modifications hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement
or the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the
rights of the Lenders or of the Company hereunder or thereunder, and with the
written consent of the Required Lenders the Administrative Agent on behalf of
the Lenders may execute and deliver to the Company a written instrument waiving,
on such terms and conditions as the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may specify in such instrument, any
of the requirements of this Agreement or the Notes or any of the other Loan
Documents or any Default or Event of Default; provided, however, that no such
waiver and no such amendment, or supplement or modification shall (a) extend the
maturity of any Note or any installment thereof; (b) reduce the rate or extend
the time of payment of interest on any Note or any fees payable to the Lenders
hereunder; (c) reduce the principal amount of any Note, (d) amend, modify or
waive any provision of this Section 10.04; (e) reduce the percentage specified
in the definition of Required Lenders or amend or modify any other provision
hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend
or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination granting consent
hereunder; (f) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Company of any of
its rights or Obligations under this Agreement; (g) except as expressly
permitted pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document release any
collateral security granted to the Administrative Agent, if any; (h) except as
expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
release any Guarantor from its Guaranty, or limit any Guarantor’s liability with
respect to its Guaranty; or (i) increase the amount of the Total Commitment
hereunder, in each case specified in clauses (a) through (i) above without the
written consent of all the Lenders; and provided, further, that no such
waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) amend,
modify, supplement or waive any provision of Article IX with respect to the
Administrative Agent without the written consent of the Administrative Agent or
(ii) increase the amount of any Lender’s Commitment without the written consent
of such Lender.  Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or
modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding
upon the Company, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders
of the Notes.

     

     

    SECTION
10.05. Successors and Assigns;
Participations.

     

    (a) This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the
Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Notes and their
respective successors and assigns, except that the Company may not assign or
transfer any of its rights or Obligations under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of each Lender.

     

     

    (b) Any
Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in
accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other
financial institutions (“Participants”)
participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such
Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender
hereunder.  In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating
interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to
the other parties under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall
remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain
the holder of any such Note for all purposes under this Agreement, and the
Company and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        71

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      solely
and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement.  The Company agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.07, 3.08, 3.09 and
10.07 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and in the Loans and
Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time; provided, however, that no
Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such
sections than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in
respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender
to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.  No Participant
shall have the right to consent to any amendment to, or waiver of, any provision
of this Agreement, except the transferor Lender may provide in its agreement
with the Participant that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment or waiver described in clause (a) through
clause (i) of Section 10.04.

    

     

     

    (c) Subject
to the last sentence of this paragraph (c) any Lender may, in the ordinary
course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law,
at any time sell to any Lender or any domestic banking affiliate thereof, and,
with the consent of the Administrative Agent  and, provided that no
Event of Default then exists, the Company (which consent of the Company shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to one or more additional banks or
financial institutions (“Purchasing Lenders”)
all or any part of its rights and Obligations under this Agreement and the Notes
pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, executed by such Purchasing
Lender, such transferor Lender and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of
an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement relating to a Purchasing Lender that is
not then a Lender or a domestic banking affiliate thereof, also executed by the
Company), and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its
acceptance.  Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance from and
after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement,
(i) the Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent
provided in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender hereunder with Commitments as set forth therein and (ii)
the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such
Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement arising after such transfer  (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Acceptance Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of a
transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such transferor
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto except as to Sections 3.07, 3.08, 3.09,
10.03 and 10.07 for the period prior to the effective date).  Such
Assignment and Acceptance Agreement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to
the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such
Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of Commitment Proportions arising
from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights
and obligations of such transferor Lender under or in respect of this Agreement
and the Notes.  On or prior to the effective date specified in such
Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, the Company, at its own expense, shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, in exchange for the surrendered
Notes, new Notes to the order of such Purchasing Lender in an amount equal to
the Commitments assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance
Agreement and, if the transferor Lender has retained any Commitment hereunder, a
new Note to the order of the transferor Lender in an amount equal to such
Commitment retained by it hereunder.  Such new Notes shall be in a
principal amount equal to the principal amount of such surrendered Notes, shall
be dated the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement
and shall otherwise be in the form of the Notes replaced thereby.  The
Notes surrendered by the transferor Lender shall be returned by the
Administrative Agent to the Company marked “cancelled”.  Anything in
this Section 10.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) no transfer to a

    
       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          72

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

         

        Purchasing
Lender shall be made pursuant to this paragraph (c) if such transfer by any one
transferor Lender to any one Purchasing Lender (other than a Purchasing Lender
which is a Lender hereunder prior to such transfer) (x) is in respect of less
than $5,000,000 of the Commitments of such transferor Lender or (y) if less than
all of the Commitment of such transferor Lender is transferred, after giving
effect to such transfer the amount held by any transferor Lender would be less
than $5,000,000 and (ii) each transfer to a Purchasing Lender shall be made in
the same pro-rata portion with respect to the Revolving Credit
Commitment.

      

    

     

     

    (d) The
Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.01
a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to it and a
register (the “Register”) for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of,
and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to
time.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence
of demonstrable error and the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the
Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement.  The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Company or any Lender at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

     

     

    (e) Upon its
receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by a transferor
Lender and a Purchasing Lender (and, in the case of a Purchasing Lender that is
not then a Lender or an Affiliate thereof, by the Company) together with payment
by the Purchasing Lender to the Administrative Agent of a registration and
processing fee of [*] if the Purchasing Lender is
not a Lender prior to the execution of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement
and [*] if the Purchasing
Lender is a Lender prior to the execution of an Assignment and Acceptance
Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and
Acceptance Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the
Register and (iii) give prompt notice of such acceptance and recordation to the
Lenders and the Company.

     

     

    (f) The
Company authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchasing
Lender (each, a “Transferee”) and any
prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s
possession concerning the Company, the Guarantors and their respective
Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the
Company pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by
the Company in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Company
and its Subsidiaries prior to entering into this Agreement, provided that such
Transferee agrees to be bound by Section 10.12 hereof as if such Transferee were
a party hereto.

     

     

    (g) Any
Lender may at any time pledge or assign or grant a security interest in all or
any part of its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
including any portion of its Notes, to any of the twelve (12) Federal Reserve
Banks organized under Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. Section
341, provided
that no such assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its Commitments
or its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such
Lender as a party to this Agreement.

    SECTION
10.06. No Waiver; Cumulative
Remedies.  Neither
any failure nor any delay on the part of any Lender, the Issuing Lender or the
Administrative Agent in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or
under any Note or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further
exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights,
remedies, powers and privileges herein provided or provided in the other Loan
Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies powers and
privileges provided by law.

     

     

    SECTION
10.07. Reinstatement; Certain
Payments.  If
claim is ever made upon any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or
amounts received by such Lender in payment or on account of any of the
Obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall give prompt notice of such
claim to the Administrative Agent and the Company, and if any Lender repays all
or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any
court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such Lender or any of its
property, or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by
such Lender with any such claimant, then and in such event the Company agrees
that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding
upon the Company notwithstanding the cancellation of any Note or other
instrument evidencing the Obligations under this Agreement or the termination of
this Agreement, and the Company shall be and remain liable to such Lender
hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such
amount had never originally been received by such Lender.

     

     

    SECTION
10.08. APPLICABLE
LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW WHICH WOULD APPLY THE SUBSTANTIVE LAW

    SECTION
10.09. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION;
JURY WAIVER.  THE
COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE

THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR INSTRUMENT
REFERRED TO HEREIN OR THEREIN OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF THEREOF MAY NOT BE
LITIGATED IN OR BY SUCH FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS.  TO THE EXTENT

      JUDGMENT
OF ANY SUCH COURT BY ANY COURT OF ANY OTHER NATION OR JURISDICTION WHICH MAY BE
CALLED UPON TO GRANT AN ENFORCEMENT OF SUCH JUDGMENT OR (ii) ASSERT ANY
COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNLESS SUCH COUNTERCLAIM IS
A COMPULSORY OR MANDATORY COUNTERCLAIM UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS GOVERNING CIVIL
PROCEDURE.  THE COMPANY AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE

THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY METHOD AUTHORIZED
BY THE LAWS OF NEW YORK.  EACH PARTY HERETO KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND
INTENTIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED
HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR
ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS
(WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY RELATING THERETO INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS OR
ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THE LENDERS RELATING TO THE
ADMINISTRATION OF THE LOANS OR ENFORCEMENT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREE THAT
NEITHER PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN
WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED.  EXCEPT AS
PROHIBITED BY LAW, THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR
RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL
DAMAGES.  THE COMPANY CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
ATTORNEY OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR
OTHERWISE, THAT THEY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER.  THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES MATERIAL INDUCEMENTS FOR
THE LENDERS TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND TO MAKE THE
LOANS.

    

     

     

    SECTION
10.10. Severability.  In
case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement, any Note or
any other Loan Document should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby.

     

     

    SECTION
10.11. Right of
Setoff.  The Company hereby grants
to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, each Lender and each Affiliate
of each Lender, a continuing lien, security interest and right of setoff as
security for all Obligations to any of them, whether now existing or hereafter
arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or
hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, each Lender and each Affiliate of each
Lender and their respective successors and assigns or in transit to any of
them.  The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, each Lender and
each Affiliate of each Lender are each hereby authorized at any time and from
time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any
and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at
any time held and

Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, any Lender or any Affiliate of any
Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Company against any and all of
the Obligations of the Company now and hereafter existing under this Agreement
and the Notes held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender
shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any Note and although such
Obligations may be unmatured.  The rights of the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Lender, each Lender and each Affiliate of each Lender under this
Section 10.11 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, other rights of setoff) which they may
have.  ANY AND
ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING LENDER, EACH
LENDER AND EACH AFFILIATE OF EACH LENDER TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS OR REMEDIES
WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOANS, PRIOR TO
EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER
PROPERTY OF THE COMPANY, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY
WAIVED.

    

     

     

    SECTION
10.12. Confidentiality.  The
Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all non-public
information, materials and documents furnished by the Company, the Guarantors
and their respective Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
pursuant to this Agreement (the “Confidential
Information”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each such party
shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information (a) to such of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and professional
advisors in any of the transactions contemplated by, or the administration of,
this Agreement; (b) to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations or
by any subpoena or similar legal process, or requested by any governmental
agency or authority; (c) to the extent such Confidential Information (i) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.12 by
the disclosing party, or (ii) becomes available to such party on a
non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company, the Guarantor or
their respective Subsidiaries which to such party’s knowledge is not prohibited
from disclosing such Confidential Information to such party by a contractual or
other legal obligation; (d) to the extent the Company, the Guarantors or any of
their respective Subsidiaries shall have consented to such disclosure in
writing; or (e) to any prospective Transferee or Participant in connection with
any contemplated transfer of the Notes or any interest therein provided such
Transferee or Participant agrees to treat the Confidential Information in a
manner consistent with this Section 10.12.  Nothing herein shall
prohibit the disclosure of Confidential Information in connection with any
litigation or where such disclosure is pursuant to applicable laws, regulations,
court order or similar legal process; provided, however, in the event
that such party is requested or required by law to disclose any of the

OF

    COMPANY
PLEDGE AGREEMENT

    

    PLEDGE AGREEMENT, (the
“Agreement”) dated as of _______________, by and between COMTECH TELECOMMUNICATIONS
CORP., a Delaware corporation, having an office at 68 South Service Road,
Suite 230, Melville, New York 11747 (the “Pledgor”) and CITIBANK, N.A. a national
banking association organized under the laws of the United States of America,
having an office at 730 Veterans Memorial Highway, Hauppauge, New York 11788, as
Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders (as those terms are defined in the
Credit Agreement referred to below) (in such capacity, the
“Pledgee”).

    

    RECITALS

    

    A.           The
Pledgor and the Pledgee, as Administrative Agent, and the Lenders party thereto,
have entered into a Credit Agreement dated as of June __, 2009 (as the same may
be hereafter amended, modified, restated or supplemented from time to time, the
“Credit Agreement”) pursuant to which the Pledgor will receive Loans and other
financial accommodations from the Lenders and will incur
Obligations.

    

    B.           The
Pledgor is the beneficial owner of that percentage of the issued and outstanding
capital stock or membership or other equity interests of each Non-Domestic
Subsidiary and each Domestic Subsidiary (other than any Domestic Subsidiary that
is wholly-owned by a Non-Domestic Subsidiary) listed on Schedule A attached
hereto (collectively, the “Pledged Companies”) as indicated on such Schedule
A.  All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement..

    

    C.           In
order to induce the Lenders to extend credit to the Pledgor on and after the
date hereof as provided in the Credit Agreement, the Pledgor wishes to grant to
the Pledgee for the ratable benefit of the Lenders security and assurance in
order to secure the payment and performance of all Obligations, and to that
effect to pledge to the Pledgee for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, 100% of
the issued and outstanding capital stock or other equity interests of the
Pledged Companies which are Domestic Subsidiaries and 65% of the issued and
outstanding capital stock or other equity interests of the Pledged Companies
which are Non-Domestic Subsidiaries (the “Pledged Shares” or the “Pledged
Interest”) including, without limitation, the Pledged Interests listed opposite
the name of the Pledgor as more particularly described on Schedule A and, with
respect to the Pledged Shares, as represented by the stock certificates
referenced thereon.

    

    Accordingly,
the parties hereto agree as follows:

    

    1.           Security
Interest.  As security for the Obligations, including any and
all renewals or extensions thereof, the Pledgor hereby delivers, pledges and
assigns to the Pledgee for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and creates in the
Pledgee for the ratable benefit of the Lenders a first security interest in all
of the Pledgor’s right, title and interest in and to all of the Pledged
Interests, together with all rights and privileges of the Pledgor with respect
thereto, all proceeds, income and profits thereof and all property received with
respect to the Pledged Interests in 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        B-1-1

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      addition
thereto, in exchange thereof or in substitution therefor (collectively, the
“Collateral”).  The Pledgor has delivered to the Pledgee, with respect
to the Pledged Shares existing on the date hereof, certificates evidencing such
Pledged Shares, together with undated stock powers duly executed in blank by the
Pledgor.

    

    

    2.           Stock
Dividends, Options, or Other Adjustments.  Subject and pursuant
to Section 3 hereof and Section 7.14 of the Credit Agreement, the Pledgee shall
receive, as Collateral, any and all additional shares of stock, membership
interests or any other property of any kind distributable on or by reason of the
Collateral pledged hereunder, whether in the form of or by way of dividends,
warrants, partial liquidation, conversion, prepayments or redemptions (in whole
or in part), liquidation, or otherwise with the exceptions of cash dividends or
other cash distributions to the extent permitted under Section 7(a)
hereof.  If any additional shares of capital stock, instruments, or
other property in respect of the Pledged Interests against which a security
interest can only be perfected by possession by the Pledgee, which are
distributable on or by reason of the Collateral pledged hereunder, shall come
into the possession or control of the Pledgor, the Pledgor shall hold or control
in trust for Pledgee and the Lenders and forthwith transfer and deliver the same
to the Pledgee subject to the provisions hereof.

    

    3.           Delivery
of Share Certificates; Stock Powers; Documents.  The Pledgor
agrees to deliver all share certificates, undated stock powers duly executed in
blank, documents, agreements, financing statements, amendments thereto,
assignments or other writings as the Pledgee may request and which are required
to carry out the terms of this Agreement or to protect or enforce the lien and
security interest in the Collateral hereunder granted hereby to the Pledgee for
the ratable benefit of the Lenders and further agrees to do and cause to be
done, upon the Pledgee’s request, all things reasonably determined by the
Pledgee to be necessary to perfect and keep in full force the lien in the
Collateral hereunder granted hereby in favor of the Pledgee for the ratable
benefit of the Lenders, including, but not limited to, the prompt payment of all
reasonable documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection
with any filings made to perfect or continue the lien and security interest in
the Collateral hereunder granted hereby in favor of the Pledgee for the ratable
benefit of the Lenders.  The Pledgor agrees to make appropriate
entries upon its books and records (including without limitation its stock
record and transfer books) disclosing the lien against the Collateral hereunder
granted hereby to the Pledgee for the ratable benefit of the Lenders
hereunder.  The Pledgor further agrees to promptly deliver to the
Pledgee, or cause the corporation or other entity issuing the Collateral to
deliver directly to the Pledgee, share certificates or other documents
representing Collateral acquired or received after the date of this Agreement
with an undated stock power duly executed by the Pledgor in blank, provided that the
Pledgor shall not be required to pledge any portion of any Pledged Interest in
any Pledged Company which is a Non-Domestic Subsidiary which when aggregated
with all of the other Pledged Interests in such Pledged Company pledged to the
Pledgee pursuant to this or any other Pledge Agreement would exceed 65% of the
Pledged Interests in such Pledged Company entitled to vote (within the meaning
of Treasury Regulation 1.956-2(c)(2) promulgated under the Code) (on a fully
diluted basis) pledged to the Pledgee under this Agreement and such other Pledge
Agreements; provided that, if, as a result of any change in the tax laws of the
United States of America after the date of this Agreement, the pledge by the
Pledgor of any additional Pledged Interests in excess of 65% under this
Agreement and any other Pledge Agreement would not result in an increase in the
aggregate net consolidated tax liabilities of the Pledgor and such Pledged
Company, then promptly after the change in such laws, all such additional
Pledged Interests shall be so pledged under this Agreement or such other
Pledge

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        B-1-2

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      Agreement,
as applicable.  In no event shall the Pledgor be required to pledge
any of the assets of any Subsidiary that is a controlled foreign corporation, as
defined in Section 957(a) of the Code, including, but not limited to the stock
of any Subsidiary held directly or indirectly by any such
Subsidiary.  If at any time the Pledgee notifies the Pledgor that
additional stock powers or other similar instruments endorsed in blank with
respect to the Collateral are required, the Pledgor shall promptly execute in
blank and deliver such stock powers as the Pledgee may
request.

    

    

    4.           Power of
Attorney.  The Pledgor hereby constitutes and irrevocably
appoints the Pledgee, with full power of substitution and revocation by the
Pledgee, as Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to the full extent
permitted by law, at any time or times when an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, to affix to certificates and documents representing the
Collateral the stock powers delivered with respect thereto, to transfer or cause
the transfer of the Collateral, or any part thereof on the books of the
corporation or other entity issuing the same, to the name of the Pledgee or the
Pledgee’s nominee and thereafter to exercise as to such Collateral all the
rights, powers and remedies of an owner.  The power of attorney
granted pursuant to this Agreement and all authority hereby conferred are
granted and conferred solely to protect the Pledgee’s and the Lenders’ interest
in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Pledgee to exercise any
power.  Subject to Section 11 hereof, this power of attorney shall be
irrevocable as one coupled with an interest.

    

    5.           Inducing
Representations of the Pledgor.  The Pledgor makes the
following representations and warranties to the Pledgee and the Lenders as of
the date hereof; each and all of which shall survive the execution and delivery
of this Agreement:

    

    (a)           The
information concerning the Pledged Companies and the Pledgor’s beneficial
ownership of the Pledged Interests thereof that is contained in Schedule A is
correct in all respects.

    

    (b)           The
Pledgor is the sole legal and beneficial owner of, and has good and indefeasible
title to, the Pledged Interests pledged by the Pledgor, free and clear of all
pledges, liens, security interests and other encumbrances and restrictions on
the transfer and assignment thereof, other than the security interest created by
this Agreement or as otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to the Credit
Agreement, and has the unqualified right and authority to execute this Agreement
and to pledge the Collateral to the Pledgee as provided for herein.

    

    (c)           There
are no outstanding options, warrants or other agreements to which the Pledged
Companies or the Pledgor is a party with respect to the Pledged Interests
pledged by the Pledgor.

    

    (d)           The
Pledged Shares pledged by the Pledgor have been validly issued and are fully
paid and non-assessable; the holder or holders of the Pledged Interests are not
and will not be subject to any personal liability as such holder under any
applicable law; and are not subject to any charter, by-law, statutory,
contractual or other restrictions governing their issuance, transfer, ownership
or control except for such restrictions as would not prevent the Pledged Shares
from being pledged pursuant hereto.

    

    (e)           Any
consent, approval or authorization of or designation or filing with any
authority on the part of the Pledgor which is required in connection with the
pledge and security 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        B-1-3

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      interest
granted under this Agreement has been obtained or effected except for such
restrictions as would not prevent the Pledged Shares from being pledged pursuant
hereto.

    

    

    (f)           The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Pledgor, and the performance by
the Pledgor of its obligations hereunder, will not result in a violation of any
mortgage, indenture, contract, instrument, judgment, decree, order, statute,
rule or regulation to which the Pledgor is subject and which could be reasonably
likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

    

    (g)           The
Pledgor has delivered to the Pledgee all instruments and stock certificates, if
any, representing the Pledged Shares, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by
an assignment or assignments sufficient to transfer title
thereto.  There are neither any instruments or certificates evidencing
the Pledged Rights nor registration books in which ownership of the Pledged
Rights is recorded.

    

    6.           Obligations
of the Pledgor.  The Pledgor hereby covenants and agrees with
the Pledgee and the Lenders as follows:

    

    (a)           The
Pledgor will not sell, transfer or convey any interest in, or suffer or permit
any lien or encumbrance to be created upon or with respect to, any of the
Collateral (other than as created under this Agreement and the Credit Agreement)
during the term of the pledge established hereby.

    

    (b)           The
Pledgor will, at its own expense, at any time and from time to time at the
Pledgee’s request, do, make, procure, execute and deliver all acts, things,
writings, assurances and other documents as may be required by the Pledgee to
preserve, establish, demonstrate or enforce the Pledgee’s rights, interests and
remedies created by, provided in, or emanating from, this
Agreement.

    

    (c)           The
Pledgor agrees, except as permitted by the Credit Agreement and with respect to
the Pledged Shares, that (i) it shall not permit any Pledged Company to issue
certificates representing the Pledged Interests without the Pledgee’s written
consent and (ii) it shall cause each Pledged Company to issue certificates with
respect to any Pledged Interests at the Pledgee’s request.

    

    7.           Rights of
the Pledgor.  So long as no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, and so long as the Pledgee has not transferred the Collateral to
its own name under Section 8 hereof:

    

    (a)           The
Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any cash dividends and other
cash distributions paid on the Collateral, in each case, solely to the extent
permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

    

    (b)           The
Pledgor shall be entitled to vote or consent or grant waivers or ratifications
with respect to the Collateral in any manner not inconsistent with this
Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.   The
Pledgor hereby grants to the Pledgee an irrevocable proxy to vote the
Collateral, which proxy shall be effective immediately upon the occurrence of
and during the continuance of an Event of Default or registration of the
Collateral 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        B-1-4

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      in the
name of the Pledgee pursuant to Section 8 hereof.  Upon request of the
Pledgee, the Pledgor agrees to deliver to the Pledgee such further evidence of
such irrevocable proxy or such further irrevocable proxy to vote the Collateral
during the continuance of an Event of Default as the Pledgee may
request.

    

    

    8.           Rights of
the Pledgee.  At any time when an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Pledgee may in its sole discretion:

    

    (a)           Cause
the Collateral to be transferred to its name or to the name of its nominee or
nominees and thereafter exercise as to such Collateral all of the rights, powers
and remedies of an owner.

    

    (b)           Collect
by legal proceedings or otherwise all dividends, interest, principal payments,
capital distributions and other sums now or hereafter payable on account of said
Collateral, and hold the same as part of the Collateral, or apply the same to
any of the Obligations in such manner and order as the Pledgee may decide in its
sole discretion.

    

    (c)           Enter
into any extension, subordination, reorganization, deposit, merger, or
consolidation agreement, or any other agreement relating to or affecting the
Collateral, and in connection therewith deposit or surrender control of the
Collateral thereunder, and accept other property in exchange therefor and hold
and apply such property or money so received in accordance with the provisions
hereof.

    

    (d)           Discharge
any taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on
the Collateral or pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral;
the amount of such payments, plus any and all fees, costs and expenses of the
Pledgee (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in connection
therewith shall, at the Pledgee’s option, be (i) reimbursed by the Pledgor on
demand, with interest thereon from the date paid by Pledgee at two percent (2%)
per annum above the Alternate Base Rate or (ii) added to the Obligations secured
hereby.

    

    9.           Event of
Default; Remedies.  Upon the occurrence and continuance of an
Event of Default:

    

    (a)           In
addition to all the rights and remedies of a secured party under applicable law,
the Pledgee shall have the right, without demand of performance or other demand,
advertisement or notice of any kind, except as specified below, to or upon
Pledgor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements
and/or notices are hereby expressly waived to the extent permitted by law), to
proceed forthwith to collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the
Collateral, or any part thereof and to proceed forthwith to sell, assign, give
an option or options to purchase, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of and
deliver the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or
private sale or sales at any stock exchange or broker’s board or at any of the
Pledgee’s offices or elsewhere at such prices and on such terms (including,
without limitation, a requirement that any purchaser of all or any part of the
Collateral shall be required to purchase any securities constituting the
Collateral solely for investment and without any intention to make a
distribution thereof) as the Pledgee in its sole and absolute discretion deems
appropriate without any liability for any loss due to decrease in the market
value of the Collateral during the period held.  The Pledgee agrees
that if 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        B-1-5

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      notice of
sale shall be required by law such notification shall be deemed reasonable and
properly given if mailed to the Pledgor, postage prepaid, at least ten (10) days
before any such disposition, to the address indicated in Section 13(c)
below.  Any disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof may be
for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit
risk, with the right of the Pledgee to purchase all or any part of the
Collateral so sold at any such sale or sales, public or private, free of any
equity or right of redemption in the Pledgor, which right or equity is, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, hereby expressly waived and released by the
Pledgor.

    

    

    (b)           All
of the Pledgee’s rights and remedies, including but not limited to the
foregoing, shall be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be enforceable
alternatively, successively or concurrently as the Pledgee may deem
expedient.

    

    (c)           The
Pledgee may elect to obtain (at the Pledgor’s expense) the advice of any
independent investment banking firm with respect to the method and manner of
sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral, the best price reasonably
obtainable therefor, the consideration of cash and/or credit terms, or any other
details concerning such sale or disposition.  The Pledgee, in its sole
discretion, may elect to sell on such credit terms which it deems
reasonable.  The sale of any of the Collateral on credit terms shall
not relieve the Pledgor of its liability under any Loan Document until its
Obligations have been paid in full.  All payments received by the
Pledgee in respect of a sale of Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations
in the manner provided in Section 10 hereof, as and when such payments are
received.

    

    (d)           The
Pledgor recognizes that the Pledgee may be unable to effect a public sale of all
or a part of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in any
applicable securities law, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private
sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among
other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment
and not with a view for the distribution or resale thereof.  The
Pledgor agrees that private sales so made may be at prices and on other terms
less favorable to the seller than if the Collateral were sold at public sale,
and that the Pledgee has no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for
the period of time necessary to permit the registration of the Collateral for
public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Pledgor
agrees that a private sale or sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall
be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.

    

    (e)           If
any consent, approval or authorization of any state, municipal or other
governmental department, agency or authority should be necessary to effectuate
any sale or other disposition of the Collateral, or any partial disposition of
the Collateral, the Pledgor will execute all such applications and other
instruments as may be required in connection with securing any such consent,
approval or authorization, and will otherwise use its best efforts to secure
such sale or other disposition of the Collateral as the Pledgee may reasonably
deem necessary pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

    

    (f)           Upon
any sale or other disposition, the Pledgee shall have the right to deliver,
assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold or disposed
of.  Each purchaser at any such sale or other disposition (including
the Pledgee) shall hold the Collateral free from any claim or right of the
Pledgor of whatever kind, including any equity or right of 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        B-1-6

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      redemption
of the Pledgor.  The Pledgor specifically waives, to the extent
permitted by applicable laws, all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which
it had or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter
adopted.

    

    

    (g)           The
Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition, unless the
terms thereof shall be satisfactory to it.  The Pledgee may, subject
to applicable laws, without notice or publication, adjourn any private or public
sale, and, upon ten (10) days’ prior notice to the Pledgor, hold such sale at
any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned.  In case of
any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, on credit or future delivery, the
Collateral so sold may be retained by the Pledgee until the selling price is
paid by the purchaser thereof, but the Pledgee and the Lenders shall incur no
liability in the case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for
the property so sold and, in case of any such failure, such property may again
be sold as herein provided.

    

    10.           Disposition
of Proceeds.

    

    (a)           The
proceeds of any sale or disposition of all or any part of the Collateral shall
be applied by the Pledgee in the following order:

     

    (i)           to
the payment in full of the costs and expenses of such sale or sales,
collections, and the protection, declaration and enforcement of any security
interest granted hereunder including the reasonable compensation of the
Pledgee’s agents and attorneys;

     

    (ii)          to
the payment of the Obligations; and

     

    (iii)         to
the payment to the Pledgor of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds,
subject to the rights of any holder of a lien on the Collateral of which the
Pledgee has actual notice.

     

    (b)           In
the event that the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral
are insufficient to cover the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest
on, the Obligations secured thereby plus costs and expenses of the sale or other
disposition, the Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

    

    11.           Termination.  This
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Obligations
shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and satisfied, and the Credit
Agreement shall have been terminated.  Subject to any sale or other
disposition by the Pledgee of the Collateral or any part thereof pursuant to
this Agreement, the Collateral (together with the undated stock powers delivered
by the Pledgor to the Pledgee) shall be returned to the Pledgor upon full
payment, satisfaction and termination of all of the Obligations.

    

    12.           Expenses
of the Pledgee.  All reasonable out of pocket expenses
(including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Pledgee
in connection with the perfection and continuation of the security interest
granted hereunder and any actual or attempted sale or exchange of, or any
enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement respecting, the Collateral, or
any other action taken by the Pledgee hereunder whether directly or as
attorney-in-fact pursuant to a power of attorney or other authorization herein
conferred, for the purpose of 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        B-1-7

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      satisfaction
of the liability of the Pledgor for failure to pay the Obligations or as
additional amounts owing by the Pledgor to cover the Pledgee’s costs of acting
against the Collateral, shall be deemed an Obligation of the Pledgor for all
purposes of this Agreement and the Pledgee may apply the Collateral to payment
of or reimbursement of itself for such liability.

    

    

    13.           General

    (a)           All
capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein shall have the

PLEDGE AGREEMENT

    
 

    PLEDGE AGREEMENT, (the
“Agreement”) dated as of June __, 2009, by and between _____________________________,
a ____________ corporation, having an office at 68 South Service Road, Suite
230, Melville, New York 11747 (the “Pledgor”) and CITIBANK, N.A., a national
banking association organized under the laws of the United States of America,
having an office at 730 Veterans Memorial Highway, Hauppauge, New York 11788, as
Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders (as those terms are
defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below) (in such capacity, the
“Pledgee”).

    

    RECITALS

    

    A.           Comtech
Telecommunications Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Pledgee, as
Administrative Agent, and the Lenders party thereto, have entered into a Credit
Agreement dated as of June __, 2009 (as the same may be hereafter amended,
modified, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”)
pursuant to which the Company will receive Loans and other financial
accommodations from the Lenders and will incur Obligations.

    

    B.           Pursuant
to a Guaranty dated the date hereof, the Pledgor has guaranteed the payment by
the Company of all its Obligations (the obligations of the Pledgor under such
Guaranty are hereinafter referred to as the “Guaranty
Obligations”).

    

    C.           The
Pledgor is the beneficial owner of that percentage of the issued and outstanding
capital stock or membership or other equity interests of each Non-Domestic
Subsidiary and each Domestic Subsidiary (other than any Domestic Subsidiary that
is wholly-owned by a Non-Domestic Subsidiary) of the Pledgor listed on Schedule
A attached hereto (collectively, the “Pledged Companies”) as indicated on such
Schedule A.  All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall
have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

    

    D.           In
order to induce the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to extend
credit to the Company on and after the date hereof as provided in the Credit
Agreement, the Pledgor wishes to grant to the Pledgee for the ratable benefit of
the Lenders security and assurance in order to secure the payment and
performance of all its Guaranty Obligations, and to that effect to pledge to the
Pledgee for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, 100% of the issued and
outstanding capital stock or other equity interests of the Pledged Companies
which are Domestic Subsidiaries and 65% of all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock or other equity interests of the Pledged Companies which are
Non-Domestic Subsidiaries (the “Pledged Shares” or “Pledged Interests”)
including, without limitation, the Pledged Interests listed opposite the name of
the Pledgor as more particularly described on Schedule A and, with respect to
the Pledged Shares, as represented by the stock certificates referenced
thereon.

    

    Accordingly,
the parties hereto agree as follows:

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        B-2-1

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    1.           Security
Interest.  As security for the Guaranty Obligations, including
any and all renewals or extensions thereof, the Pledgor hereby delivers, pledges
and assigns to the Pledgee for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and creates in
the Pledgee for the ratable benefit of the Lenders a first security interest in
all of the Pledgor’s right, title and interest in and to all of the Pledged
Interests, together with all rights and privileges of the Pledgor with respect
thereto, all proceeds, income and profits thereof and all property received with
respect to the Pledged Interests in addition thereto, in exchange thereof or in
substitution therefor (collectively, the “Collateral”).  The Pledgor
has delivered to the Pledgee, with respect to the Pledged Shares existing on the
date hereof, certificates evidencing such Pledged Shares, together with undated
stock powers duly executed in blank by the Pledgor.

    

    2.           Stock
Dividends, Options, or Other Adjustments.  Subject and pursuant
to Section 3 hereof and Section 7.14 of the Credit Agreement, the Pledgee shall
receive, as Collateral, any and all additional shares of stock, membership
interests or any other property of any kind distributable on or by reason of the
Collateral pledged hereunder, whether in the form of or by way of dividends,
warrants, partial liquidation, conversion, prepayments or redemptions (in whole
or in part), liquidation, or otherwise with the exceptions of cash dividends or
other cash distributions to the extent permitted under Section 7(a)
hereof.  If any additional shares of capital stock, instruments, or
other property in respect of the Pledged Interests against which a security
interest can only be perfected by possession by the Pledgee, which are
distributable on or by reason of the Collateral pledged hereunder, shall come
into the possession or control of the Pledgor, the Pledgor shall hold or control
in trust for Pledgee and the Lenders and forthwith transfer and deliver the same
to the Pledgee subject to the provisions hereof.

    

    3.           Delivery
of Share Certificates; Stock Powers; Documents.  The Pledgor
agrees to deliver all share certificates, undated stock powers duly executed in
blank, documents, agreements, financing statements, amendments thereto,
assignments or other writings as the Pledgee may request and which are required
to carry out the terms of this Agreement or to protect or enforce the lien and
security interest in the Collateral hereunder granted hereby to the Pledgee for
the ratable benefit of the Lenders and further agrees to do and cause to be
done, upon the Pledgee’s request, all things reasonably determined by the
Pledgee to be necessary to perfect and keep in full force the lien in the
Collateral hereunder granted hereby in favor of the Pledgee for the ratable
benefit of the Lenders, including, but not limited to, the prompt payment of all
reasonable documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection
with any filings made to perfect or continue the lien and security interest in
the Collateral hereunder granted hereby in favor of the Pledgee for the ratable
benefit of the Lenders.  The Pledgor agrees to make appropriate
entries upon its books and records (including without limitation its stock
record and transfer books) disclosing the lien against the Collateral hereunder
granted hereby to the Pledgee for the ratable benefit of the Lenders
hereunder.  The Pledgor further agrees to promptly deliver to the
Pledgee, or cause the corporation or other entity issuing the Collateral to
deliver directly to the Pledgee, share certificates or other documents
representing Collateral acquired or received after the date of this Agreement
with an undated stock power duly executed by the Pledgor in blank provided that the
Pledgor shall not be required to pledge any portion of any Pledged Interest in
any Pledged Company which is a Non-Domestic Subsidiary which when aggregated
with all of the other Pledged Interests in such Pledged Company pledged to the
Pledgee pursuant to this or any other Pledge Agreement would exceed 65% of the
Pledged Interests in such Pledged Company entitled to vote (within the meaning
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.956-2(c)(2) promulgated under the Code) (on a
fully diluted basis) pledged to the Pledgee under this 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        B-2-2

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      Agreement
and such other Pledge Agreements; provided that, if, as a result of any change
in the tax laws of the United States of America after the date of this
Agreement, the pledge by the Pledgor of any additional Pledged Interests in
excess of 65% under this Agreement and any other Pledge Agreement would not
result in an increase in the aggregate net consolidated tax liabilities of the
Pledgor and such Pledged Company, then promptly after the change in such laws,
all such additional Pledged Interests shall be so pledged under this Agreement
or such other Pledge Agreement, as applicable.  In no event shall the
Pledgor be required to pledge any of the assets of any Subsidiary that is a
controlled foreign corporation, as defined in Section 957(a) of the Code,
including, but not limited to the stock of any Subsidiary held directly or
indirectly by any such Subsidiary.  If at any time the Pledgee
notifies the Pledgor that additional stock powers or other similar instruments
endorsed in blank with respect to the Collateral are required, the Pledgor shall
promptly execute in blank and deliver such stock powers as the Pledgee may
request.

    

    

    4.           Power of
Attorney.  The Pledgor hereby constitutes and irrevocably
appoints the Pledgee, with full power of substitution and revocation by the
Pledgee, as Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to the full extent
permitted by law, at any time or times when an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, to affix to certificates and documents representing the
Collateral the stock powers delivered with respect thereto, to transfer or cause
the transfer of the Collateral, or any part thereof on the books of the
corporation or other entity issuing the same, to the name of the Pledgee or the
Pledgee’s nominee and thereafter to exercise as to such Collateral all the
rights, powers and remedies of an owner.  The power of attorney
granted pursuant to this Agreement and all authority hereby conferred are
granted and conferred solely to protect the Pledgee’s and the Lenders’ interest
in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Pledgee to exercise any
power.  Subject to Section 11 hereof, this power of attorney shall be
irrevocable as one coupled with an interest.

    

    5.           Inducing
Representations of the Pledgor.  The Pledgor makes the
following representations and warranties to the Pledgee and the Lenders as of
the date hereof; each and all of which shall survive the execution and delivery
of this Agreement:

    

    (a)           The
information concerning the Pledged Companies and the Pledgor’s beneficial
ownership of the Pledged Interests thereof that is contained in Schedule A is
correct in all respects.

    

    (b)           The
Pledgor is the sole legal and beneficial owner of, and has good and indefeasible
title to, the Pledged Interests pledged by the Pledgor, free and clear of all
pledges, liens, security interests and other encumbrances and restrictions on
the transfer and assignment thereof, other than the security interest created by
this Agreement or as otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to the Credit
Agreement, and has the unqualified right and authority to execute this Agreement
and to pledge the Collateral to the Pledgee as provided for herein.

    

    (c)           There
are no outstanding options, warrants or other agreements to which the Pledged
Companies or the Pledgor is a party with respect to the Pledged Interests
pledged by the Pledgor.

    

    (d)           The
Pledged Shares pledged by the Pledgor have been validly issued and are fully
paid and non-assessable; the holder or holders of the Pledged Interests are not
and will not be subject to any personal liability as such holder under any
applicable law; and are not 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        B-2-3

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      subject
to any charter, by-law, statutory, contractual or other restrictions governing
their issuance, transfer, ownership or control except for such restrictions as
would not prevent the Pledged Shares from being pledged pursuant
hereto.

    

    

    (e)           Any
consent, approval or authorization of or designation or filing with any
authority on the part of the Pledgor which is required in connection with the
pledge and security interest granted under this Agreement has been obtained or
effected except for such restrictions as would not prevent the Pledged Shares
from being pledged pursuant hereto.

    

    (f)           The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Pledgor, and the performance by
the Pledgor of its obligations hereunder, will not result in a violation of any
mortgage, indenture, contract, instrument, judgment, decree, order, statute,
rule or regulation to which the Pledgor is subject and which could be reasonably
likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

    

    (g)           The
Pledgor has delivered to the Pledgee all instruments and stock certificates, if
any, representing the Pledged Shares, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by
an assignment or assignments sufficient to transfer title
thereto.  There are neither any instruments or certificates evidencing
the Pledged Rights nor registration books in which ownership of the Pledged
Rights is recorded.

    

    6.           Obligations
of the Pledgor.  The Pledgor hereby covenants and agrees with
the Pledgee and the Lenders as follows:

    

    (a)           The
Pledgor will not sell, transfer or convey any interest in, or suffer or permit
any lien or encumbrance to be created upon or with respect to, any of the
Collateral (other than as created under this Agreement and the Credit Agreement)
during the term of the pledge established hereby.

    

    (b)           The
Pledgor will, at its own expense, at any time and from time to time at the
Pledgee’s request, do, make, procure, execute and deliver all acts, things,
writings, assurances and other documents as may be required by the Pledgee to
preserve, establish, demonstrate or enforce the Pledgee’s rights, interests and
remedies created by, provided in, or emanating from, this
Agreement.

    

    (c)           The
Pledgor agrees, except as permitted in the Credit Agreement and with respect to
the Pledged Shares, that (i) it shall not permit any Pledged Company to issue
certificates representing the Pledged Interests without the Pledgee’s written
consent and (ii) it shall cause each Pledged Company to issue certificates with
respect to any Pledged Interests at the Pledgee’s request.

    

    7.           Rights of
the Pledgor.  So long as no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, and so long as the Pledgee has not transferred the Collateral to
its own name under Section 8 hereof:

    

    (a)           The
Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any cash dividends and other
cash distributions paid on the Collateral, in each case, solely to the extent
permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        B-2-4

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (b)           The
Pledgor shall be entitled to vote or consent or grant waivers or ratifications
with respect to the Collateral in any manner not inconsistent with this
Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.   The
Pledgor hereby grants to the Pledgee an irrevocable proxy to vote the
Collateral, which proxy shall be effective immediately upon the occurrence of
and during the continuance of an Event of Default or registration of the
Collateral in the name of the Pledgee pursuant to Section 8
hereof.  Upon request of the Pledgee, the Pledgor agrees to deliver to
the Pledgee such further evidence of such irrevocable proxy or such further
irrevocable proxy to vote the Collateral during the continuance of an Event of
Default as the Pledgee may request.

    

    8.           Rights of
the Pledgee.  At any time when an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Pledgee may in its sole discretion:

    

    (a)           Cause
the Collateral to be transferred to its name or to the name of its nominee or
nominees and thereafter exercise as to such Collateral all of the rights, powers
and remedies of an owner.

    

    (b)           Collect
by legal proceedings or otherwise all dividends, interest, principal payments,
capital distributions and other sums now or hereafter payable on account of said
Collateral, and hold the same as part of the Collateral, or apply the same to
any of the Guaranty Obligations in such manner and order as the Pledgee may
decide in its sole discretion.

    

    (c)           Enter
into any extension, subordination, reorganization, deposit, merger, or
consolidation agreement, or any other agreement relating to or affecting the
Collateral, and in connection therewith deposit or surrender control of the
Collateral thereunder, and accept other property in exchange therefor and hold
and apply such property or money so received in accordance with the provisions
hereof.

    

    (d)           Discharge
any taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on
the Collateral or pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral;
the amount of such payments, plus any and all fees, costs and expenses of the
Pledgee (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in connection
therewith shall, at the Pledgee’s option, be (i) reimbursed by the Pledgor on
demand, with interest thereon from the date paid by Pledgee at [*] per
annum above the Alternate Base Rate or (ii) added to the Guaranty Obligations
secured hereby.

    

    9.           Event of
Default; Remedies.  Upon the occurrence and continuance of an
Event of Default:

    

    (a)           In
addition to all the rights and remedies of a secured party under applicable law,
the Pledgee shall have the right, without demand of performance or other demand,
advertisement or notice of any kind, except as specified below, to or upon
Pledgor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements
and/or notices are hereby

      expressly
waived to the extent permitted by law), to proceed forthwith to collect,
receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof and to
proceed forthwith to sell, assign, give an option or options to purchase,
contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part
thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales at any stock
exchange or broker’s board or at any of the Pledgee’s offices or elsewhere at
such prices and on such terms (including, without limitation, a requirement that
any purchaser of all or any part of the Collateral shall be required to purchase
any securities constituting the Collateral solely for investment and without any
intention to make a distribution thereof) as the Pledgee in its sole and
absolute discretion deems appropriate without any liability for any loss due to
decrease in the market value of the Collateral during the period
held.  The Pledgee agrees that if notice of sale shall be required by
law such notification shall be deemed reasonable and properly given if mailed to
the Pledgor, postage prepaid, at least ten (10) days before any such
disposition, to the address indicated in Section 13(c) below.  Any
disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof may be for cash or on credit
or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, with the right of
the Pledgee to purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold at any such
sale or sales, public or private, free of any equity or right of redemption in
the Pledgor, which right or equity is, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, hereby expressly waived and released by the Pledgor.

    

    

    (b)           All
of the Pledgee’s rights and remedies, including but not limited to the
foregoing, shall be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be enforceable
alternatively, successively or concurrently as the Pledgee may deem
expedient.

    

    (c)           The
Pledgee may elect to obtain (at the Pledgor’s expense) the advice of any
independent investment banking firm with respect to the method and manner of
sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral, the best price reasonably
obtainable therefor, the consideration of cash and/or credit terms, or any other
details concerning such sale or disposition.  The Pledgee, in its sole
discretion, may elect to sell on such credit terms which it deems
reasonable.  The sale of any of the Collateral on credit terms shall
not relieve the Pledgor of its liability under any Loan Document until its
Guaranty Obligations have been paid in full.  All payments received by
the Pledgee in respect of a sale of Collateral shall be applied to the Guaranty
Obligations in the manner provided in Section 10 hereof, as and when such
payments are received.

    

    (d)           The
Pledgor recognizes that the Pledgee may be unable to effect a public sale of all
or a part of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in any
applicable securities law, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private
sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among
other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment
and not with a view for the distribution or resale thereof.  The
Pledgor agrees that private sales so made may be at prices and on other terms
less favorable to the seller than if the Collateral were sold at public sale,
and that the Pledgee has no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for
the period of time necessary to permit the registration of the Collateral for
public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Pledgor
agrees that a private sale or sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall
be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.

    

    (e)           If
any consent, approval or authorization of any state, municipal or other
governmental department, agency or authority should be necessary to effectuate
any sale or other 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        B-2-6

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      disposition
of the Collateral, or any partial disposition of the Collateral, the Pledgor
will execute all such applications and other instruments as may be required in
connection with securing any such consent, approval or authorization, and will
otherwise use its best efforts to secure such sale or other disposition of the
Collateral as the Pledgee may reasonably deem necessary pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement.

    

    

    (f)           Upon
any sale or other disposition, the Pledgee shall have the right to deliver,
assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold or disposed
of.  Each purchaser at any such sale or other disposition (including
the Pledgee) shall hold the Collateral free from any claim or right of the
Pledgor of whatever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of the
Pledgor.  The Pledgor specifically waives, to the extent permitted by
applicable laws, all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it had or may
have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter
adopted.

    

    (g)           The
Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition, unless the
terms thereof shall be satisfactory to it.  The Pledgee may, subject
to applicable laws, without notice or publication, adjourn any private or public
sale, and, upon ten (10) days’ prior notice to the Pledgor, hold such sale at
any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned.  In case of
any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, on credit or future delivery, the
Collateral so sold may be retained by the Pledgee until the selling price is
paid by the purchaser thereof, but the Pledgee and the Lenders shall incur no
liability in the case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for
the property so sold and, in case of any such failure, such property may again
be sold as herein provided.

    

    10.           Disposition
of Proceeds.

     

    (a)           The
proceeds of any sale or disposition of all or any part of the Collateral shall
be applied by the Pledgee in the following order:

     

    (i)           to
the payment in full of the costs and expenses of such sale or sales,
collections, and the protection, declaration and enforcement of any security
interest granted hereunder including the reasonable compensation of the
Pledgee’s agents and attorneys;

     

    (ii)         
to the payment of the Guaranty Obligations; and

     

    (iii)         to
the payment to the Pledgor of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds,
subject to the rights of any holder of a lien on the Collateral of which the
Pledgee has actual notice.

     

    (b)           In
the event that the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral
are insufficient to cover the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest
on, the Guaranty Obligations secured thereby plus costs and expenses of the sale
or other disposition, the Pledgor shall remain liable for any
deficiency.

    

    11.           Termination.  This
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Guaranty
Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and satisfied, and the
Credit Agreement shall have been terminated.  Subject to any sale or
other disposition by
the Pledgee of 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        B-2-7

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    the Collateral or any part
thereof pursuant to this Agreement, the Collateral (together with the undated
stock powers delivered by the Pledgor to the Pledgee) shall be returned to the
Pledgor upon full payment, satisfaction and termination of all of the Guaranty
Obligations.

     

    12.           Expenses
of the Pledgee.  All reasonable out of pocket expenses
(including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Pledgee
in connection with the perfection and continuation of the security interest
granted hereunder and any actual or attempted sale or exchange of, or any
enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement respecting, the Collateral, or
any other action taken by the Pledgee hereunder whether directly or as
attorney-in-fact pursuant to a power of attorney or other authorization herein
conferred, for the purpose of satisfaction of the liability of the Pledgor for
failure to pay the Guaranty Obligations or as additional amounts owing by the
Pledgor to cover the Pledgee’s costs of acting against the Collateral, shall be
deemed a Guaranty Obligation of the Pledgor for all purposes of this Agreement
and the Pledgee may apply the Collateral to payment of or reimbursement of
itself for such liability.

    

    13.           General
Provisions.

    

    (a)           All
capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein shall have the
respective meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

    

    (b)           The
Pledgee and its assigns shall have no obligation in respect of the Collateral,
except to use reasonable care in holding the Collateral and to hold and dispose
of the same in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

    

    (c)           All
notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be

failure on the part of the Pledgee to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any
right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise by the Pledgee of any right, power or remedy

other right, power or remedy.  The remedies herein provided are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or any other

benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, legal
representatives and assigns except that the Pledgor may not assign or transfer
any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of each Lender (and any such assignment or transfer without such consent
shall be null and void.

    

    14.  APPLICABLE LAW; CONSENT TO

TO ASSERT BY WAY OF MOTION, AS A DEFENSE OR OTHERWISE IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION
OR PROCEEDING, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION
OF SUCH FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS, THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT
IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, THAT THE VENUE OF SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS
IMPROPER, OR THAT THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT OR ANY INSTRUMENT REFERRED TO
HEREIN OR THEREIN OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR THEREOF  OR THEREOF
MAY NOT BE LITIGATED IN OR BY SUCH FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS.  TO THE

ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNLESS SUCH COUNTERCLAIM IS A COMPULSORY OR MANDATORY
COUNTERCLAIM UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS GOVERNING CIVIL PROCEDURE.  THE

ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY RELATING THERETO, AND AGREES THAT NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO
CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT
BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED.  EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, THE PLEDGOR
HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION ANY
SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN,

    FORM
OF

    GUARANTY

    

    

    THIS GUARANTY is entered into
as of the __ day of June, 2009, by EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED (each
a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Guarantors”) in favor of and for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as defined in the Credit
Agreement referred to below.

    

    RECITALS

    

    A.           Pursuant
to a Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among Comtech
Telecommunications Corp. (the “Company”),  Citibank, N.A., as
Administrative Agent, (the “Administrative Agent”) and the Lenders from time to
time parties thereto (as the same may be amended, modified, restated or
supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), the Company will
receive Loans and other financial accommodations from the Administrative Agent
and Lenders and will incur Obligations.

    

    B.           The
Guarantors, being members of a group of entities affiliated with the Company and
being engaged in related businesses will receive direct and indirect benefits
from such Loans and financial accommodations.

    

    C.           Each
Guarantor wishes to grant the Administrative Agent and Lenders security and
assurance in order to secure the payment and performance by the Company of all
of its present and future Obligations, and, to that effect, to guaranty the
Obligations as set forth herein.

    

    Accordingly,
each Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

    

    1.           Guaranty.

    

    (a)           Each
Guarantor, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably
guarantees to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders the full and punctual
payment by the Company, when due, whether at the stated due date, by
acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Company, howsoever created,
arising or evidenced, voluntary or involuntary, whether direct or indirect,
absolute or contingent now, or hereafter existing or owing to the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan
Documents (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).  This Guaranty
is an absolute, unconditional, continuing guaranty of payment and not of
collection of the Guaranteed Obligations and includes Guaranteed Obligations
arising from successive transactions which shall either continue such Guaranteed
Obligations or from time to time renew such Guaranteed Obligations after the
same have been satisfied.  This Guaranty is in no way conditioned upon
any attempt to collect from the Company or upon any other event or contingency,
and shall be binding upon and enforceable against each Guarantor without regard
to the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, the Notes or any
other Loan Document or of any term of any thereof.  If for any reason
the Company shall fail or be unable duly and punctually to pay 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        C-1

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      any of
the Guaranteed Obligations (including, without limitation, amounts that would
become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of
the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)), each Guarantor will forthwith pay the
same, in cash, immediately upon demand.

    

    

    (b)           In
the event the Credit Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document shall be
terminated as a result of the rejection thereof by any trustee, receiver or
liquidating agent of the Company or any of its properties in any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation,
dissolution or similar proceeding, each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall
continue to the same extent as if the Credit Agreement, such Note or such other
Loan Document had not been so rejected.

    

    (c)           Each
Guarantor shall pay all reasonable out of  pocket costs, expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements)
and damages incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty and of
the Guaranteed Obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement or the Note
or any other Loan Document to the extent that such costs, expenses and damages
are not paid by the Company pursuant to the respective documents.

    

    (d)           Each
Guarantor further agrees that if any payment made by the Company or any
Guarantor to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on any Obligation or
Guaranteed Obligation, as applicable, is rescinded, recovered from or repaid by
the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, in whole or in part, in any bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar proceeding instituted by or against the Company or any
Guarantor, or otherwise, this Guaranty shall continue to be fully applicable to
such Guaranteed Obligation to the same extent as though the payment so recovered
or repaid had never originally been made on such Guaranteed
Obligation.

    

                             (e)           Each Guarantor hereby grant to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, each Lender and each Affiliate of each
Lender, a continuing lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for
all liabilities and obligations to any of them, whether now existing or
hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and
property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, each Lender and each Affiliate of
each Lender and their respective successors and assigns or in transit to any of
them.  The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, each Lender and
each Affiliate of each Lender are each hereby authorized at any time and from
time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any
and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at
any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Lender, any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender to or for
the credit or the account of the Guarantor against any and all of the Guaranty
Obligations of the Guarantors now and hereafter existing hereunder held by such
Person, irrespective of whether or not such Person shall have made any demand
under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may
be unmatured.  The rights of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Lender, each Lender and each Affiliate of each Lender under this Section 1(e)
are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation,
other rights of setoff) which they may have.  ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING LENDER, EACH LENDER AND EACH AFFILIATE OF EACH
LENDER TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        C-2

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH
SECURES THE LOANS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO
SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF EACH GUARANTOR, ARE HEREBY
KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

    

    2.           Guaranty
Continuing, Absolute, Unlimited.

    

    The
obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be continuing, absolute,
irrevocable, unlimited and unconditional, shall not be subject to any
counterclaim, set-off, deduction or defense based upon any claim any Guarantor
may have against the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Company or any
other person, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be released,
discharged or in any way affected by, any circumstance or condition (whether or
not any Guarantor shall have any knowledge or notice thereof) whatsoever which
might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense including, but not
limited to, (a) any express or implied amendment, modification or supplement to
the Credit Agreement, any Note, or any other Loan Document or any other
agreement referred to in any thereof, or any other instrument applicable to the
Company or to the Loans, or the Letters of Credit or any part thereof; (b) any
failure on the part of the Company to perform or comply with the Credit
Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document or any failure of any other
Person to perform or comply with any term of the Credit Agreement, any Note, or
any other Loan Document or any other agreement as aforesaid; (c) any waiver,
consent, change, extension, indulgence or other action or any action or inaction
under or in respect of the Credit Agreement, any Note, or any other Loan
Document or any other agreement as aforesaid, whether or not the Administrative
Agent, any Lender, the Company or any Guarantor has notice or knowledge of any
of the foregoing; (d) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceeding with respect to the
Company, or its properties or its creditors, or any action taken by any trustee
or receiver or by any court in any such proceeding; (e) any furnishing or
acceptance of additional security or any release of any security; (f) any
limitation on the liability or obligations of the Company under the Credit
Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document or any termination, cancellation,
frustration, invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of the Credit
Agreement, any Note, this Guaranty or any other Loan Document or any term of any
thereof; (g) any lien, charge or encumbrance on or affecting any Guarantor’s or
any of the Company’s respective assets and properties; (h) any act, omission or
breach on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Credit
Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document or any other agreement at any
time existing between the Administrative Agent, any Lender and the Company or
any law, governmental regulation or other agreement applicable to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Loan; (i) any claim as a result of any
other dealings among the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Guarantor or the
Company; (j) the assignment of this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, any Note or
any other Loan Document by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any other
Person; or (k) any change in the name of the Administrative Agent, any Lender,
the Company or any other Person referred to herein.

    

    3.           Waiver.

    

    Each
Guarantor unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law:  (a) notice of any of the matters referred to in Section 2
hereof, except as 

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        C-3

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      expressly
provided herein; (b) all notices which may be required by statute, rule of law
or otherwise to preserve any rights against any Guarantor hereunder, including,
without limitation, notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty, or the creation,
renewal, extension, modification or accrual of the Guaranteed Obligations or
notice of any other matters relating thereto, any presentment, demand, notice of
dishonor, protest, nonpayment of any damages or other amounts payable under the
Credit Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Documents; (c) any requirement for
the enforcement, assertion or exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege
under or in respect of the Credit Agreement, any Note or any other Loan
Documents, including, without limitation, diligence in collection or protection
of or realization upon the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any
collateral therefor; (d) any requirement of diligence; (e) any requirement to
mitigate the damages resulting from a default by the Company under the Credit
Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Documents; (f) the occurrence of every
other condition precedent to which any Guarantor or the Company may otherwise be
entitled; (g) the right to require the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to
proceed against the Company or any other Person liable on the Guaranteed
Obligations, to proceed against or exhaust any security held by the Company or
any other person, or to pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or
any Lender’s power whatsoever; and (h) the right to have the property of the
Company first applied to the discharge of the Guaranteed
Obligations.

    

    

    The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may, at their election, exercise any right
or remedy they may have against the Company without affecting or impairing in
any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder and each Guarantor waives, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any defense arising out of the
absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement, contribution or
subrogation or any other right or remedy of any Guarantor against the Company,
whether resulting from such election by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
or otherwise.  Each Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of
any disability or other defense of the Company or any Guarantor or by reason of
the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability, either in whole or in
part, of the Company to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the
Guaranteed Obligations.

    

    Each
Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the
financial condition of the Company or any other Guarantor and of all other
circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations
and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall have any
duty to advise any Guarantor of information regarding any condition or
circumstance or any change in such condition or circumstance.  Each
Guarantor acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders
have made any representations to any Guarantor concerning the financial
condition of the Company or any other Guarantor.

    

    4.           Representations
and Covenants of each Guarantor.

    

    (a)           The
representations and warranties contained in Article IV of the Credit Agreement,
solely to the extent they relate and are expressly applicable to a Guarantor,
are true and correct as of the date hereof and the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders are entitled to rely on such representations and warranties to the same
extent as though the same were set forth in full herein.

    (b)           Each
Guarantor hereby agrees to perform the covenants contained in Article VI and
Article VII of the Credit Agreement, solely to the extent they relate and are
expressly applicable to the Guarantor, and the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders are entitled to rely on such agreement to perform such covenants to the

    Each

Guaranty shall be made in the time, place and manner provided for payments in
the Credit Agreement without set-off or counterclaim to the account at which
such payment is required to be paid by the Company under the Credit
Agreement.

    

    

    6.           Parties.

    

    This
Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and
their respective permitted successors, assigns or transferees, and shall be

Guaranty without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders (and any such delegation without such consent shall be null and
void).

              Remedies.

            

    

    

    Each
Guarantor stipulates that the remedies at law in respect of any default or
threatened default by a Guarantor in the performance of or compliance with any
of the terms of this  Guaranty are not and will not be adequate, and
that any of such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for specific
performance or by an injunction against violation of any such terms or
otherwise.

    

    9.           Rights to
Deal with the Company.

    

    At any
time and from time to time, without terminating, affecting or impairing the
validity of this Guaranty or the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may deal with the Company in the same
manner and as fully as if this Guaranty did not exist and shall be entitled,
among other things, to grant the Company, without notice or demand and without
affecting any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, such extension or extensions of
time to perform, renew, compromise, accelerate or otherwise change the time for
payment of or otherwise change the terms of indebtedness or any part thereof
contained in or arising under the Credit Agreement, any Note or any other Loan
Documents, or to waive any obligation of the Company to perform, any act or acts
as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may deem advisable.

    

    10.           Subrogation.

    

    (a)           Upon
any payment made or action taken by a Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty, such
Guarantor shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 10(b) and (c) hereof, be
fully subrogated to all of the rights of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders against the Company arising out of the action or inaction of the Company
for which such payment was made or action taken by such Guarantor.

    

    (b)           Any
claims of such Guarantor against the Company arising from payments made or
actions taken by such Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guaranty
shall be in all respects subordinate to the full and complete or final and
indefeasible payment or performance and discharge, as the case may be, of all
amounts, obligations and liabilities, the payments or performance and discharge
of which are guaranteed by this Guaranty, and no payment hereunder by a
Guarantor shall give rise to any claim of such Guarantor against the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        C-6

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (c)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10, no Guarantor shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against the
Company until all of the Obligations of the Company have been paid finally and
indefeasibly in full, and that subrogation shall be suspended upon the
occurrence of the events described in Section 1(d) hereof until the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders are indefeasibly paid in full.

    

    11.           Survival
of Representations, Warranties, etc.

    

    All
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein, including
representations and warranties deemed made herein, shall survive any
investigation or inspection made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders and shall continue in full force and effect until all of the
obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty shall be fully performed in
accordance with the terms hereof, and until the payment in full of the
Guaranteed Obligations.

    

    12.           GOVERNING
LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW,
WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW, WHICH WOULD APPLY
THE SUBSTANTIVE LAW OF ANY OTHER STATE.  EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN THE

right or remedy hereunder has been sought against any other

execute the Guaranty or by a determination that all or a part of this Guaranty
with respect to any other Guarantor is invalid or unenforceable.

    

    (c)           If
any term of this Guaranty or any application thereof shall be invalid or

written agreement executed by each Guarantor and by the Administrative Agent
(acting with the required consent of the Lenders as provided in the Credit
Agreement).

    

    (e)           The
headings in this Guaranty are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit
or define the meaning hereof.

    

    (f)           No
delay or omission by the Administrative Agent or a Lender in the exercise of any
right under this Guaranty shall impair any such right, nor shall it be construed
to be waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right
hereunder preclude any other or further exercise of any other
right.

E

    Legal
Opinion

    

    [APPROPRIATE
INTRODUCTION AND QUALIFICATIONS TO BE INCORPORATED BY BORROWER’S
COUNSEL]

    

    Based
upon and subject to the foregoing and the limitations and qualifications set
forth below, we are of the opinion that:

     

    1. Each of
the Domestic Obligors is validly existing and in good standing as a corporation
under the law of its state of incorporation or formation and each has all
requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties
and to carry on its business as such business is described in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 (the “Company 10-K”).

     

    2. Each of
the Domestic Obligors has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter
into and perform each Loan Document to which it is a party.  The
Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to issue the
Notes.

     

    3. The
execution, delivery and performance by each of the Domestic Obligors of each
Loan Document to which it is a party, including the issuance and payment of the
Notes and the borrowing by the Company under the Credit Agreement, have been
duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part each of the
Domestic Obligors.

     

    4. Each Loan
Document has been duly executed and delivered by each of the Domestic Obligors
to the extent that it is a party thereto.

     

    5. Each Loan
Document is (and in the case of each of the Notes delivered to the Lenders after
the date hereof, assuming the due execution and delivery by the Company, will
constitute) a legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the Obligors to the
extent that it is a party thereto, and each Loan Document is enforceable against
the Obligors party thereto in accordance with its terms.

     

    6. Except
for (i) filings or recordings, if any, contemplated by the Loan Documents that
may be required under applicable law to perfect or record security interests,
mortgages or other liens or encumbrances, (ii) federal and state securities or
blue sky laws, as to which we express no opinion and (iii) those already
obtained, no approval, authorization or other action by, or filing with, any
United States federal or state governmental authority known to us to be
applicable to any of the Obligors is required in connection with the execution
and delivery of the Loan Documents on behalf of the Obligors or the transactions
contemplated thereby, except for the filing by the Company with the Securities
and Exchange Commission of a report which discloses the execution and delivery
of the Credit Agreement as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.

    7. Neither
the execution and delivery by the Domestic Obligors of, nor the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by, the Loan Documents to which each such Domestic
Obligor is a party (a) conflict with or violate the Obligor Certificates or
by-laws of the Domestic Obligors, any provision of the corporations law of the
state of incorporation or formation of such Domestic Obligor or any United
States federal or New York statute, rule or regulation (including, the
provisions of Regulation U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System), known to us to be applicable to the Domestic Obligors (other than
federal and state securities or blue sky laws, as to which we express no opinion
in this paragraph), (b) violate any order, writ, injunction or decree of any
court or governmental authority or any arbitral award known to us to be binding
on any Domestic Obligor, (c) result in a breach of, constitute a default under,
require any consent under, or result in the acceleration or required prepayment
of any indebtedness pursuant to, any agreement or instrument, listed as an
exhibit to the Company 10-K (it being understood, however, that we express no
opinion with respect to any financial covenant in any such agreement or
instrument), or (d) except for the liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents,
result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any property of the
Domestic Obligors pursuant to any agreement or instrument listed as an exhibit
to the Company 10-K (it being understood, however, that we express no opinion
with respect to any financial covenant in any such agreement or
instrument).

     

    8. Except as
set forth in the Credit Agreement, we have no knowledge of any legal or arbitral
proceedings, or any proceedings by or before any governmental or regulatory
authority, now pending or threatened in writing against any of the Obligors or
any of their respective properties, which, if adversely determined, would have a
Material Adverse Effect.

     

    9. The
Pledge Agreements, together with the delivery of the certificates representing
the Pledged Equity by the Obligors to the Administrative Agent in the state of
New York, indorsed to or issued in the name of the Administrative Agent,
perfects in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a
security interest in the Pledged Equity under the New York Uniform Commercial
Code (“New York
UCC”).  Assuming that neither the Administrative Agent nor the
Lenders has notice of any adverse claim (as such phrase is defined in section
8-105 of the New York UCC) to the Pledged Equity at the time the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, acquires its security interest, the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, is acquiring its security
interests in the Pledged Equity free of adverse claims.  In the case
of any Pledged Equity issued by a Non-Domestic Guarantor, we have assumed, with
your permission and without any independent verification, that any such Pledged
Equity constitutes a “security” as such term is defined in section 8-102 of the
New York UCC.

     

    10. No
Obligor is an “investment company” registered or required to be registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
