Re:      Termination of Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization

                                                        June 16, 2008

Dear Mr. Baskind:

         As we have advised you, the class action lawsuit filed against the
members of the Board of Directors of Tilden Associates, Inc.("Tilden") is
expected to have an adverse impact on the ability of Tilden to complete its
proposed acquisition of Extreme Mobile Coatings, Inc. ("Extreme") and the
related transactions on a timely basis, and would likely result in expenses that
the parties are unwilling to bear if they were to pursue closing the
transactions. As you know, the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization
among Tilden, TFB Acquisition Company, LLC ("TFB") and Extreme dated as of March
27, 2008 (the "Agreement") provides for a "drop dead" of June 30, 2008. As a
result of the delay caused by the lawsuit, it is not feasible to complete the
proposed transactions by June 30, 2008. As a result, Extreme's management
believes that it is compelled to pursue other strategic alternatives and Extreme
is not in a position to extend the "drop dead" date. Accordingly, be advised
that Extreme hereby formally terminates the Agreement.

         As we have discussed, Extreme believes that it is in all parties'
interest that each of the parties to the Agreement formally release all other
parties from any claims, liabilities, obligations or damages relating to the
Agreement. By executing this letter, each of the parties hereto hereby releases
each of the other parties hereto and their respective officers, directors,
members, managers and agents (collectively, the "Released Parties") from any and
all claims, liabilities, obligations or damages that any such party may have
against any of the Released Parties pursuant to or related to the Agreement.

         Please return a signed copy of this letter to the undersigned to
confirm that Tilden and TFB are in agreement with the terms of this letter, that
the Agreement has been terminated and that Tilden and TFB have granted their
respective releases of the Released Parties. Upon such executions and return,
Extreme shall be deemed to have granted its release of the Released Parties.

    (a)
Upon
receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Request, the Loans shall be
made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments;
provided, however, that
the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other

Loan required to be made by such other Lender).

     

    (b) Each

by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower or any Guarantor and
each Lender’s share thereof.

     

    (d) The
entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b)
and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the
existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of
any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error
therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay
the Loans in accordance with their terms.

     

    (e) Any
Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory
note.  In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such
Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and
in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the
event any Lender shall request and receive such a promissory note, the interests
represented by such note shall at all times (including after any assignment of
all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by
one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its

that, if made, would result in more than five Eurodollar Loans being
outstanding hereunder at any time. For purposes of the foregoing, Loans having
different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same
date, shall be considered separate Loans.

     

    SECTION
2.08. Repayment of
Loans; Termination of Commitments.

     

    (a) To the
extent not previously paid, all Loans shall be due and payable on the Maturity
Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be
paid to but excluding the date of payment plus the Payment Premium.

     

    (b) The
Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Loans on the
Closing Date.

     

    SECTION
2.09. Voluntary
Prepayment.  (a)  The Borrower shall have the right
at any time and from time to time to prepay any Loan, in whole or in part, upon
at least three Business Days’ prior written or fax notice (or telephone notice
promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) to the Administrative Agent before
12:00 (noon), New York City time; provided, however, that each
partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 and not less than $2,000,000.

     

    (b) Voluntary
prepayments of Loans shall be applied pro rata against the then outstanding
principal balance of the Loans of each Lender under
Section 2.08.

     

    (c) Each
notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount
of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall
commit the Borrower to prepay such Loan by the amount stated therein on the date
stated therein; provided, however, that if such
prepayment is for all of the then outstanding Loans, then the Borrower may
revoke such notice and/or extend the prepayment date by not more than five
Business Days, provided,
further, however, that if Borrower shall revoke or extend the prepayment
date, from and including the date on which such prepayment would have been made
until the earlier of (A) such time as such prepayment is made or (B) the last
day of the then applicable Interest Period, the Loans shall accrue interest at
the Alternate Base Rate.  All prepayments under this Section 2.09
shall be accompanied by (i) accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount
to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment, (ii) the applicable Payment
Premium and (iii) as applicable, any amounts payable in accordance with Section
2.19.

    SECTION
2.10. Mandatory
Prepayments.  (a)  In the event that Borrower shall
make a distribution (including for purposes of payments under the Management
Agreement) to any holder of Equity Interests of Borrower (other than any
Permitted Distributions/Loans and payments permitted under Sections 6.06(a)(ii)
and (iii)) or an intercompany loan to, or other Investment in, Holdings or any
other Subsidiary, concurrently with such distribution,  intercompany
loan or other Investment by Borrower, the Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be
delivered, to Lenders an amount equal to the amount of such distribution to
prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(e);

     

    (b) In the
event that any Loan Party shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or
incurrence of Indebtedness for money borrowed of any Loan Party, the Borrower
shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the
third Business Day next following) the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by such
Loan Party, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay
outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(e).

     

    (c) Subject
to the repayment in full, termination or forgiveness of the Lehman Loan, in the
event that any Loan Party or any subsidiary of a Loan Party shall receive net
proceeds from the sale of any “auction rate” securities owned by it, the
Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later
than the third Business Day next following) the receipt of such net proceeds by
such Loan Party or such subsidiary, apply an amount equal to 100% of such net
proceeds to prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with
Section 2.10(e).

     

    (d) Mandatory
prepayments of outstanding Loans under this Agreement shall be allocated against
the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans.

     

    (e) The
Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each
prepayment required under this Section 2.10, (i) a certificate signed by a
Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the
calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable,
at least three Business Days prior written notice of such prepayment. Each
notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount
of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments of Loans under
this Section 2.10 shall be accompanied by (i) accrued and unpaid interest
on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment and
(ii) the applicable Payment Premium.

     

    (f) All
repayments pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be subject to
Section 2.19, but shall otherwise be without premium or
penalty.

     

    SECTION
2.11. Prepayment or
Offer to Purchase in Connection with Change in Control.  The
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of a Change in
Control within one Business Day thereof, and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly thereafter notify the Lenders thereof.  At any time prior to
the 30th day following delivery of the notice by the Agent pursuant to the
preceding sentence (the “Purchase
Date”), each Lender shall have the right, by notice to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent, to require the Borrower, on the Purchase Date, to
prepay in full (but not in part) the outstanding principal amount of such
Lender’s Loans at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount
thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount
thereof to but excluding the date of payment, and all other amounts then due to
such Lender (including amounts payable under Section 2.15) under the Loan
Documents.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        22

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    SECTION
2.12. Pro Rata
Treatment.  Each Loan, each payment or prepayment of principal
of any Loan and each payment of interest on the Loans shall be allocated pro
rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable
Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in
accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans).
Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Loan to be
made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each
Lender’s percentage of such Loan to the next higher or lower whole Dollar
amount.

     

    SECTION
2.13. Sharing of
Setoffs.  Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the
exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the
Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under
Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or
interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such
Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or
otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in
respect of any Loan or Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion
of its Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of
the Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have
purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such
other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans of such other
Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and
participations in Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to
the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding as the
principal amount of its Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or
counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding
prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event;
provided, however, that if any such
purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this
Section 2.13 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be
recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the
extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored
without interest. The Borrower and Holdings expressly consent to the foregoing
arrangements and agree that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan deemed
to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien,
setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Loan
Parties to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a
Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

     

    SECTION
2.14. Payments.  (a)  The
Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Loan
or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not
later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date when due in
immediately available Dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each
such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at Eleven
Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010. The Administrative Agent shall promptly
distribute to each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on
behalf of such Lender.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        23

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (b) Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal
of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is
not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business
Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the
computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

     

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

     

    (b) In
addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.

     

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

     

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

     

    (e) Any
Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any
treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under
this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly
completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        24

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    SECTION
2.16. Assignment of
Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to
Mitigate.  (a)  In the event (i) any Lender
delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.17,
(ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.18,
(iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender
or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 2.15, or (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment,
waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that
requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required
Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the
Required Lenders, then, in each case, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and
effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to
in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative
Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04),
all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible
Assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations and, with respect to clause
(iv) above, shall consent to such requested amendment, waiver or other
modification of any Loan Documents (which assignee may be another Lender, if a
Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such
assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any
court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Borrower
shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which
consents shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and (z) the
Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender in immediately
available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest
accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans of such Lender plus
all Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder with
respect thereto (including any amounts under Sections 2.17 and 2.19); provided further that, if
prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that
resulted in such Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 2.17, notice
under Section 2.18 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.15, as
the case may be, cease to cause such Lender to suffer increased costs or
reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital,
or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.18, or cease to
result in amounts being payable under Section 2.15, as the case may be
(including as a result of any action taken by such Lender pursuant to
paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender shall waive its right to claim
further compensation under Section 2.17 in respect of such circumstances or
event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.18 or shall waive its
right to further payments under Section 2.15 in respect of such
circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver,
consent or other modification, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not
thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each
Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of
attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on
behalf of such Lender, as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to
effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the
circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.16(a).

     

    (b) If
(i) any Lender shall request compensation under Section 2.17,
(ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.18 or
(iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender
or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender, pursuant to
Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (which shall
not require such Lender to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or
expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or
legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by
it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably
requested in writing by the Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and
delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for
compensation under Section 2.17 or enable it to withdraw its notice
pursuant to Section 2.18 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to
Section 2.15, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby agrees
to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection
with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.

    SECTION
2.17. Reserve
Requirements; Change in
Circumstances.  (a)   Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets
of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender (except
any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or
shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition
affecting this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender or any participation
therein, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to
such Lender of maintaining any Loan or increase the cost to any Lender of
purchasing or maintaining a participation therein or to reduce the amount of any
sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then
the Borrower will pay to such Lender upon demand such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered.

     

    (b) If any
Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy
has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s
capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made to a level below that which such
Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change
in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of
such Lender’s  holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an
amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time the Borrower
shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction
suffered.

     

    (c) A
certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in
paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount
shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after
its receipt of the same.

     

    (d) Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased
costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on
capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such
compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to
compensate any Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased
costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is
120 days prior to such request if such Lender  knew or could
reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would
result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs
or reductions; provided further that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to
any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of
any Change in Law within such 120-day period. The protection of this
Section shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible
contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall
have occurred or been imposed.

    SECTION
2.18. Change in
Legality.  (a)  Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any
Lender to make or maintain any Loan or to give effect to its obligations as
contemplated hereby with respect to any Loan, then, by written notice to the
Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

     

    (i) such
Lender may declare that Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such
unlawfulness) be continued for additional Interest Periods; and

     

    (ii) such
Lender shall require that all outstanding Loans be converted to ABR Loans as of
the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b)
below.

     

    (b) For
purposes of this Section 2.18, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall
be effective as to each Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of
the Interest Period then applicable to such Loan; in all other cases such notice
shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

     

    SECTION
2.19. Breakage.  The
Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such
Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a
default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which
results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount
on account of the principal of any Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period
in effect therefor or (ii) the conversion of the interest rate on any Loan
from the LIBO Rate to the Alternate Base Rate, or the conversion of the Interest
Period with respect to any Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the
Interest Period in effect therefor (any of the events referred to in this
clause (a) being called a “Breakage
Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or
prepayment required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event,
such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined
by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Loan that is the
subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage
Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been
in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be
realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by
reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of any Lender
setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive
pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.

     

    SECTION
2.20. Alternate Rate of
Interest.  In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day
two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a
Eurodollar Loan the Administrative Agent shall have determined that Dollar
deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans are not generally available in
the London interbank market, or that the rates at which such Dollar deposits are
being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the majority of
Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period,
or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate,
the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written
or fax notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the
event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have
advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such
notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Loan
pursuant to 2.07 shall be deemed to be a request for an
ABR Loan.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent under
this Section 2.20 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        27

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    SECTION
2.21. Agreement to
Amend and Restate.  On the Closing Date, subject to the terms
and conditions specified herein, the Borrower and Lenders agree (i) to amend and
restate the Original Credit Agreement as provided herein and (ii) that the
obligations existing thereunder shall be Obligations hereunder. For the
avoidance of doubt, as of the Closing Date, all Loans made on the Closing Date
and all Loans existing as of the Original Closing Date shall accrue interest at
the same interest rate.

3.05. Financial
Statements.  (a)  Holdings has heretofore furnished
to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income,
stockholder’s equity and cash flows (i) as of and for the fiscal year ended

Steiner & Hottman P.C., independent public accountants, and (ii) as of
and for the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008,
certified by its chief financial officer. Such financial statements present
fairly the financial condition and results of operations and cash flows of
Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such
periods. Such balance sheets and the notes thereto disclose all material
liabilities, direct or contingent, of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries
as of the dates thereof. Such financial statements were prepared in accordance

to the Transactions as if they had occurred, with respect to such balance sheet,
on such date and, with respect to such other financial statements, on the first
day of the 12-month period ending on such date. Such pro forma financial
statements have been prepared in good faith by the Borrower, based on the
assumptions believed by the Borrower on the date thereof and on the Closing Date
to be reasonable, are based on the best information available to the Borrower as
of the date of delivery thereof, accurately reflect all adjustments required to
be made to give effect to the Transactions and present fairly on a pro forma
basis the estimated consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its
consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and for such period, assuming that the
Transactions had actually occurred at such date or at the beginning of such
period, as the case may be.

Agent or the Collateral Agent of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
insurance carrier shall pay all proceeds otherwise payable to the Borrower or
the Loan Parties under such policies directly to the Collateral Agent; cause all
such policies to provide that neither the Borrower, the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agent nor any other party shall be a coinsurer thereunder and to
contain such other provisions as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
Agent may reasonably require from time to time to protect their interests;
deliver original or certified copies of all such policies to the Collateral
Agent; cause each such policy to provide that it shall not be canceled, modified
or not renewed (i) by reason of nonpayment of premium upon not less than 10

Agent the right to cure defaults in the payment of premiums) or (ii) for
any other reason upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice thereof
by the insurer to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent; deliver to
the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, prior to the cancellation,

delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent) together with
evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent of
payment of the premium therefor.

    (c) If at any
time the area in which the Premises (as defined in the Mortgages) are located is
designated (i) a “flood hazard area” in any Flood Insurance Rate Map
published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency),
obtain flood insurance in such total amount as the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders may from time to time require, and
otherwise comply with the National Flood Insurance Program as set forth in the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as it may be amended from time to time,
or (ii) a “Zone 1” area, obtain earthquake insurance in such total
amount as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders
may from time to time require.

an occurrence basis against claims made for personal injury (including bodily
injury, death and property damage) and umbrella liability insurance against any
and all claims, in no event for a combined single limit of less than that which
is customary for companies in the same or similar businesses operating in the
same or similar locations, naming the Collateral Agent as an additional insured,
on forms satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

     

    (e) Notify
the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent promptly whenever any separate
insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that
required to be maintained under this Section 5.02 is taken out by any Loan
Party; and promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent

become delinquent or in default, as well as all lawful claims for labor,
materials and supplies or otherwise that, if unpaid, might give rise to a Lien
upon such properties or any part thereof; provided, however, that such payment
and discharge shall not be required with respect to any such tax, assessment,
charge, levy or claim so long as the validity or amount thereof shall be
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and the Borrower shall have
set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with
GAAP and such contest operates to suspend collection of the contested
obligation, tax, assessment or charge and enforcement of a Lien and, in the case

security agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust and other instruments and
documents in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, and the
Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Lenders all such
instruments and documents (including legal opinions, title insurance policies
and lien searches) as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request to evidence
compliance with this Section. The Borrower agrees to provide such evidence as
the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request as to the perfection and priority
status of each such security interest and Lien.  In furtherance of the
foregoing, the Borrower will give prompt notice to the Administrative Agent of
the acquisition by it or any Subsidiary Guarantor of any real property (or any
interest in real property) having a value in excess of
$1,000,000.

    

     

    SECTION

Covenant.  At Borrowers’ cost and expense, Borrower shall,
without limiting and notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document,
execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such agreements and
documents, and take or cause to be taken such actions, and otherwise perform,
observe and satisfy such obligations, as are set forth on Schedule 5.13, within
the time period set forth therein.

     

    SECTION

    ARTICLE
VIII

    The
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent

     

    Each
Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent (for purposes of this Article VIII, the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”)
its agent and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to
exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan
Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents
are hereby expressly authorized to (i) execute any and all documents (including
releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties
with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement and the Security Documents and (ii) negotiate, enforce or the
settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting the Lenders in their capacity
as such, at the direction of the Required Lenders, which negotiation,
enforcement or settlement will be binding upon each Lender.

     

    The
institution serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent
hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as
any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and
such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and
generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings, the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent
hereunder.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        55

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    Neither
Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in
the Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither
Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08), and (c) except
as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty
to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information
relating to Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is
communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent and/or
Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall
be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the
request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section
9.08) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until
written notice thereof is given to such Agent by Holdings, the Borrower or a
Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain
or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in
connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report
or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or
conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement,
instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in
Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of
items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

     

    Each
Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument,
document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed
or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made
to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper
Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may
consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such
counsel, accountants or experts.

     

    Each
Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by
or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such
sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of
the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related
Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their
respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Loans as well as
activities as Agent.

    Subject
to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, either
Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any
such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation
with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation,
then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent
which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of
any such bank. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence by the 30th day
after the date such notice of resignation was given by such Agent, such Agent’s
resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter
perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan
Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may
be.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a
successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees
payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable
to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such
successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this
Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect
of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as
Agent.

     

    Each
Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.

    All
notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date
of receipt if delivered by hand or overnight courier service or sent by fax or

Agent and the applicable Lenders from time to time, notices and other
communications may also be delivered by e-mail to the e-mail address of a
representative of the applicable Person provided from time to time by such
Person.

     

    The Borrower hereby agrees,
unless directed otherwise by the Administrative Agent or unless the
electronic mail
address referred to below has not been provided by the Administrative Agent to
the Borrower, that it will, or will cause the Subsidiaries to, provide to the
Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is
obligated to furnish to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents or to the Lenders under
Article 5, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and
other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding
any such communication that
(i) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this
Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (ii) provides notice of any
Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or (iii) is required to be delivered
to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement (all
such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as
“Communications”), by transmitting the
Communications in an electronic/soft medium that is properly
identified in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to an electronic
mail address as directed by the Administrative Agent.  In addition,
the Borrower agrees, and agrees to cause the Subsidiaries, to continue to
provide the Communications to the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner specified
in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative
Agent.

     

    The
Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make
available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf
of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower
Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks or another
similar electronic system (the “Platform”)
and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that
do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the
Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public
Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that
are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously
marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall
appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials
“PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any
material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities
for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided,
however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they
shall be treated as set forth in Section 11.07); (y) all Borrower Materials
marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the
Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (z) the Administrative Agent shall
be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as
being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as
“Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower
Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Borrower notifies the
Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material
non-public information: (1) the Loan Documents and (2) notification of changes
in the terms of the Loans.

    Each Public Lender agrees to
cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all
times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the
content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender
or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures
and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws,
to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the
“Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material
non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for
purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

     

    THE PLATFORM IS
PROVIDED “AS
IS” AND
“AS
AVAILABLE”.  NEITHER THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR
COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH
EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS
LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS.  NO WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD
PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE
BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE
COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM.  IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN
PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON
FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING
DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR
EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS
THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS
FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED
PRIMARILY FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT.

     

    The
Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the
Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute
effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the
Loan Documents.  Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as
provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been
posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the
Communications to such Lender for purposes
of the Loan Documents.  Each Lender agrees to notify the
Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from
time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the
foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that
the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. Nothing herein shall
prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice
or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan
Document.

Agreement.  All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Borrower or Holdings herein and in the certificates or
other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied
upon by the Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans,
regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any
accrued interest on any Loan or any Fee or any other amount payable under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid. The provisions
of Sections 2.15, 2.17, 2.19 and 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force
and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of
the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf
of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender.

     

    SECTION
9.03. Binding
Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by the Borrower, Holdings and the Administrative Agent and
when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which,
when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties
hereto.

     

    SECTION
9.04. Successors and
Assigns.  (a)  Whenever in this Agreement any of the

the Collateral Agent or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall
bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and
assigns.

     

    (b) Each
Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it), with the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent and so long as no Event of Default
shall have occurred and is continuing, the prior written consent of the Borrower
(not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that (i) the
amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment
(determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such
assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall be in an integral
multiple of, and not less than, $1,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining
amount of such Lender’s Loans); provided that simultaneous
assignments by two or more Related Funds shall be combined for purposes of
determining whether the minimum assignment requirement is met, (ii) the
parties to each assignment shall (A) execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system
acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (B) if previously agreed with the
Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent
an Assignment and Acceptance, and, in each case, shall pay to the Administrative
Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee

     

    
      
         

      

      
        60

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    may be
waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), and
(iii) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire (in which the assignee
shall designate one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level
information (which may contain material non-public information about the Loan
Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made
available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s
compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state
securities laws) and all applicable tax forms.  Upon acceptance and
recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 9.04, from and
after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a
Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall,
to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be
released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to
be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.15, 2.17, 2.19 and 9.05, as well as to any Fees, if any, accrued
for its account and not yet paid).

     

    (c) By
executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender
thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree
with each other and the other parties hereto as
follows:  (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal
and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of
any adverse claim and the outstanding balances of its Loans, without giving
effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth
in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in
(i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and
assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution,
legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished
pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or
the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its
obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee
represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such
Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received
a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial
statements referred to in Section 3.05(a) or delivered pursuant to
Section 5.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such
Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning
Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee
appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to
take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this
Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent,
respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in
accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this
Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

     

    (d) The
Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment
and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names
and addresses of the Lenders and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each
Lender pursuant to the terms

     

    
      
         

      

      
        61

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

     hereof
from time to time (the “Register”).  The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive and the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for
all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Borrower, the Collateral Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from
time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

     

    (e) Upon its
receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed
by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire
completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a
Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in
paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the
Administrative Agent and, if required, the Borrower to such assignment and any
applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) accept
such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained
therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been
recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e).

     

    (f) Each
Lender may without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent sell
participations to one or more banks or other Persons in all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other
Persons shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions
contained in Section 2.17 to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but, with
respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that
sold the participation to such participant) and (iv) the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly
with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the
obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than
amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable to such
participating bank or Person hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate
at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such participating bank or
Person has an interest, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date
fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans in which such participating bank
or Person has an interest or releasing any Guarantor (other than in connection
with the sale of such Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05)
or all or substantially all of the Collateral).

     

    (g) Any
Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or
proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04,
disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any
information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of
the Borrower; provided
that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrower as
confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or
participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant
shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of
such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable
to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.16.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        62

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (h) Any
Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of
obligations owed by such Lender; provided that no such
assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

     

    (i) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”),
identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all
or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated
to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided
that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to
make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or
otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender
shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms
hereof.  The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the
Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were
made by such Granting Lender.  Each party hereto hereby agrees that no
SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this
Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting
Lender).  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby
agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that,
prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all
outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it will
not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPV
any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State
thereof.  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 9.04, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without
the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and
without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its
interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions
(consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity
and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding
or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any
non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial
paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity
enhancement to such SPV.

     

    (j) Neither
Holdings nor the Borrower shall assign or delegate any of its rights or duties
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and
each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and
void.

     

    SECTION
9.05. Expenses;
Indemnity.  (a)  The Borrower and Holdings agree,
jointly and severally, to pay all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection the Loans and the
preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or
in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions
hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby
contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection
of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or
in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including the fees, charges and
disbursements of Proskauer Rose, LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and
the Collateral Agent, and, in connection with any such enforcement or
protection, the fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel for the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        63

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (b) The
Borrower and Holdings agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender and each Related Party
of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”)
against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees,
charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee
arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the
execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any
agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties
thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated thereby (including the syndication of the Loans),
(ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) any claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such
matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or
any of their respective Affiliates), or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or
Release of Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned or
operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, and any Environmental
Liability related in any way to Holdings, the Borrower or the Subsidiaries;
provided that such
indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have
resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee.

     

    (c) To the
extent that Holdings and the Borrower fail to pay any amount required to be paid
by them to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)
or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, such Lender’s
pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed
expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the
unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related
expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, in its capacity as
such.  For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be
determined based upon its share of the sum of the outstanding Loans at the
time.

     

    (d) To the
extent permitted by applicable law, neither Holdings nor the Borrower shall
assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory
of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as
opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a
result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby,
any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

     

    (e) The
provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force
and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of
the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf
of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender.  All
amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand
therefor.

    SECTION
9.06. Right of
Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time,
except to the extent prohibited 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 such Lender to or for the
credit or the account of the Borrower or Holdings against any of and all the
obligations of the Borrower or Holdings now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether
or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other
Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured.  The
rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other
rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may
have.

     

    SECTION
9.07. Applicable
Law.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN
AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     

    SECTION
9.08. Waivers;
Amendment.  (a)  No failure or delay of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any power
or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or
any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or power.  The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that
they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower
or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for
which given.  No notice or demand on the Borrower or Holdings in any
case shall entitle the Borrower or Holdings to any other or further notice or
demand in similar or other circumstances.

     

    (b) Neither
this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified
except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the
Borrower, Holdings and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such
agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the
maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of
any interest on any Loan (except as provided in the definition of Maturity
Date), or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the
rate of interest on any Loan, without the prior written consent of each Lender
directly adversely affected thereby, (ii) decrease or extend the date for
payment of any Fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such
Lender, (iii) amend or modify the pro rata requirements of
Section 2.12, the provisions of Section 9.04(j) or the provisions of this
Section or release any Guarantor (other than in connection with the sale of such
Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05) or all or
substantially all of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of each
Lender, or (iv) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of
the term “Required Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender;
provided further that no such
agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan
Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent.

    SECTION
9.09. Interest Rate
Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees,
charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under
applicable law (collectively the “Charges”),
shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum
Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved
by the Lender holding such Loan or participation in accordance with applicable
law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation
hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be
limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges
that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were
not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.09 shall be
cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of
other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the
Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest
thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have
been received by such Lender.

     

    SECTION
9.10. Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement, the Fee Letter and the other Loan
Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the
subject matter hereof.  Any other previous agreement among the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents.  Nothing in this Agreement or in the other
Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person
(other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby,
the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent
and the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by
reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

     

    SECTION
9.11. WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT
OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.  EACH PARTY
HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT,
IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO
ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS
SECTION 9.11.

     

    SECTION
9.12. Severability.  In
the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in
any other Loan Document should be held 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 (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such
provision in any other jurisdiction).  The parties shall endeavor in
good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as
possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions.

    SECTION
9.13. Counterparts.  This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of
which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become
effective as provided in Section 9.03.  Delivery of an executed
signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective
as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the
construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this
Agreement.

     

    SECTION
9.15. Jurisdiction;
Consent to
Service of Process.  (a)  Each of Holdings and the
Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or
Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and
any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the
extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.  Each of the parties
hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or
in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Agreement shall
affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any
Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower, Holdings or their
respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

     

    (b) Each of
Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may
now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any
New York State or Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense
of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any
such court.

     

    (c) Each
party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 9.01.  Nothing in this Agreement
will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any
other manner permitted by law.

     

    SECTION
9.16. Confidentiality.  Each
of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that
Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ officers,
directors, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other
advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made
will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed
to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any
regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d)
in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents or any suit,

    action or
proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder,
(e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as
those of this Section 9.16, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee
of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or
its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or
any Subsidiary or any of their respective obligations, (f) with the consent
of the Borrower or (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this
Section 9.16.  For the purposes of this Section, “Information”
shall mean all information received from the Borrower or Holdings and related to
the Borrower or Holdings or their business, other than any such information that
was available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on
a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Borrower or Holdings;
provided that, in the
case of Information received from the Borrower or Holdings after the date
hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as
confidential.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of
Information as provided in this Section 9.16 shall be considered to have
complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same
degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such
Person would accord its own confidential information.
