      Loans shall be refunded by the Lenders on demand by the Swingline
      Lender.  Such refundings shall be made by the Lenders in accordance
      with their respective Commitment Percentages and shall thereafter be reflected
      as Revolving Credit Loans of the Lenders on the books and records of the
      Administrative Agent.  Each Lender shall fund its respective
      Commitment Percentage of Revolving Credit Loans as required to repay Swingline
      Loans outstanding to the Swingline Lender upon demand by the Swingline Lender
      but in no event later than 1:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day after
      such demand is made.  No Lender’s obligation to fund its respective
      Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan shall be affected by any other
      Lender’s failure to fund its Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan, nor
      shall any Lender’s Commitment Percentage be increased as a result of any such
      failure of any other Lender to fund its Commitment Percentage of a Swingline

    (ii)  The
      Borrower shall pay to the Swingline Lender on demand the amount of such

      sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or
      required to be refunded.  In addition, the Borrower hereby authorizes
      the Administrative Agent to charge any account maintained by the Borrower with
      the Swingline Lender (up to the amount available therein) in order to
      immediately pay the Swingline Lender the amount of such Swingline Loans to
      the
      extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full
      the
      outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded.  If
      any portion of any such amount paid to the Swingline Lender shall be recovered
      by or on behalf of the Borrower from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy or
      otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among
      all
      the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (unless
      the amounts so recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower pertain to a Swingline
      Loan extended after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
      Default of which the Administrative Agent has received notice in the manner
      required pursuant to Section 12.5 and which such Event of Default has not
      been waived by the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable).

     

    (iii)  Each
      Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to refund Swingline Loans
      in
      accordance with the terms of this Section is absolute and unconditional and
      shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without
      limitation, non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article
      V.  Further, each Lender agrees and acknowledges that if prior to
      the refunding of any outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section,
      a
      Bankruptcy Event of Default shall have occurred, each Lender will, on the date
      the applicable Revolving Credit Loan would have been made, purchase an undivided
      participating interest in the Swingline Loan to be refunded in an amount equal
      to its Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount of such Swingline
      Loan.  Each Lender will immediately transfer to the Swingline Lender,
      in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation and upon receipt
      thereof the Swingline Lender will deliver to such Lender a certificate
      evidencing such participation dated the date of receipt of such funds and for
      such amount.  Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has
      received from any Lender such Lender’s participating interest in a Swingline
      Loan, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the
      Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its participating interest
      in
      such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to
      reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was
      outstanding and funded).

      Designation”) delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or as

      proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loan requested pursuant to this Section to

      for the purpose of refunding Swingline Loans shall be made by the Lenders as
      provided in Section 2.2(b).

     

    Section
      2.4  Repayment
      of Loans.

     

    (a)  Repayment
      on Maturity Date.  The Borrower hereby agrees to repay the
      outstanding principal amount of (i) all Revolving Credit Loans in full on the
      Maturity Date, and (ii) all Swingline Loans in accordance with Section
      2.2(b), together, in each case, with all accrued but unpaid interest
      thereon.

     

    (b)  Mandatory

      outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans plus the sum
      of all outstanding Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations exceeds the Aggregate
      Commitment, the Borrower agrees to repay immediately upon notice from the
      Administrative Agent, by payment to the Administrative Agent for the account
      of
      the Lenders, Extensions of Credit in an amount equal to such excess with each
      such repayment applied first to the principal amount of outstanding
      Swingline Loans, second to the principal amount of outstanding Revolving
      Credit Loans and third, with respect to any Letters of Credit then
      outstanding, a payment of cash collateral into a cash collateral account opened

      to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit
      (such cash collateral to be applied in accordance with Section
      11.2(b)).

     

    (c)  Optional
      Prepayments.  The Borrower may at any time and from time to time
      prepay without premium or penalty, but including any amount required to be
      paid
      pursuant to Section 4.9, Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans, in
      whole or in part, with irrevocable prior written notice to the Administrative

      Loan and each Swingline Loan and (ii) at least three (3) Business Days
      before each LIBOR Rate Loan, specifying the date and amount of prepayment and
      whether the prepayment is of LIBOR Rate Loans, Base Rate Loans, Swingline Loans
      or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable
      to each.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall
      promptly notify each Lender.  If any such notice is given, the amount
      specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date set forth in
      such
      notice.  Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate amount of
      $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof with respect to
      Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans), $2,000,000 or a whole multiple
      of
      $500,000 in excess thereof with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans and $100,000 or
      a
      whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof with respect to Swingline
      Loans.  A Notice of Prepayment received after 11:00 a.m. shall be
      deemed received on the next Business Day.  Each such repayment shall
      be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section
      4.9.

     

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

     

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

     

    Section
      2.5  Permanent
      Reduction of the Aggregate Credit Commitment.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    Section
      2.7  Increase
      in Aggregate Commitment.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    ARTICLE
      III

    LETTER
      OF CREDIT FACILITY

     

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

     

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

     

    Section
      3.3  Commissions
      and Other Charges.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    Section
      3.4  L/C
      Participations.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

    Section
      4.1  Interest.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    Section
      4.3  Fees.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    Section
      4.5  Evidence
      of Indebtedness.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    Section
      4.8  Changed
      Circumstances.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    Section
      4.10  Increased
      Costs.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    Section
      4.11  Taxes.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    Section
      4.12  Mitigation
      Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

    REPRESENTATIONS
      AND WARRANTIES OF THE BORROWER

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    (g)  Intellectual
      Property Matters.  Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns
      or possesses rights to use all franchises, licenses, copyrights, copyright
      applications, patents, patent rights or licenses, patent applications,
      trademarks, trademark rights, service mark, service mark rights, trade names,
      trade name rights, copyrights and rights with respect to the foregoing which
      are
      required to conduct its business.  No event has occurred which
      permits, or after notice or lapse of time or both would permit, the revocation
      or termination of any such rights, and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary
      thereof is liable to any Person for infringement under Applicable Law with
      respect to any such rights as a result of its business operations.

     

    (h)  Environmental
      Matters.

      constitute or constituted a violation of applicable Environmental Laws or (B)

      such properties or such operations which could interfere with the continued
      operation of such properties or impair the fair saleable value thereof, except
      for any such noncompliance or contamination that could not reasonably be
      expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse
      Effect;

     

    (iii)  Neither
      the Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof has received any notice of violation,
      alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability regarding
      environmental matters, Hazardous Materials, or compliance with Environmental
      Laws, nor does the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof have knowledge or reason
      to believe that any such notice will be received or is being threatened, except
      where such violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential
      liability which is the subject of such notice could not reasonably be expected,
      individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse
      Effect;

     

    (iv)  Hazardous
      Materials have not been transported or disposed of to or from the properties
      owned, leased or operated by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in violation
      of,

      Environmental Laws, nor have any Hazardous Materials been generated, treated,
      stored or disposed of at, on or under any of such properties in violation of,
      or
      in a manner that could give rise to liability under, any applicable
      Environmental Laws, except where such violation or liability could not
      reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material
      Adverse Effect;

     

    (v)  No

      to
      the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which

      responsible party with respect to such properties or operations conducted in
      connection therewith, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees,
      consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative
      or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect
      to
      Borrower, any Subsidiary or such properties or such operations, except where
      such proceeding, action, decree, order or other requirement could not reasonably
      be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse
      Effect; and

     

    (vi)  There
      has
      been no release, or to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, threat of release,

      Borrower or any Subsidiary, now or in the past, in violation of or in amounts
      or
      in a manner that could give rise to liability under Environmental Laws, except
      where such violation or liability could not reasonably be expected, individually
      or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      for which the remedial amendment period as defined in Section 401(b) of the
      Code
      has not yet expired and except where a failure to so comply could not reasonably
      be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Each Employee Benefit
      Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has
      been
      determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be so qualified, and each trust
      related to such plan has been determined to be exempt under Section 501(a)
      of
      the Code except for such plans that have not yet received determination letters
      but for which the remedial amendment period for submitting a determination
      letter has not yet expired.  No liability has been incurred by the
      Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate which remains unsatisfied for any taxes or
      penalties with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan or any Multiemployer Plan

      by Section 412 of the Code, Section 302 of ERISA or the terms of any Pension
      Plan prior to the due dates of such contributions under Section 412 of the
      Code
      or Section 302 of ERISA, nor has there been any event requiring any disclosure
      under Section 4041(c)(3)(C) or 4063(a) of ERISA with respect to any Pension
      Plan;

     

    (iv)  Except
      where the failure of any of the following representations to be correct in
      all
      material respects could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
      Effect, neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has:  (A) engaged

      Effect, no proceeding, claim (other than a benefits claim in the ordinary course
      of business), lawsuit and/or investigation is existing or, to the best knowledge
      of the Borrower after due inquiry, threatened concerning or involving any (A)
      employee welfare benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) currently
      maintained or contributed to by the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate, (B) Pension
      Plan or (C) Multiemployer Plan.

     

    (j)  Margin
      Stock.  Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof is engaged
      principally or as one of its activities in the business of extending credit
      for
      the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” (as each such term
      is defined or used, directly or indirectly, in Regulation U of the Board of
      Governors of the Federal Reserve System).  No part of the proceeds of
      any of the Loans or Letters of Credit will be used for purchasing or carrying
      margin stock or for any purpose which violates, or which would be inconsistent
      with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of such Board of
      Governors.

     

    (k)  Government
      Regulation.  Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof is an
“investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” (as
      each such term is defined or used in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
      amended) and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof is, or after giving
      effect to any Extension of Credit will be, subject to regulation under the
      Interstate Commerce Act, as amended, or any other Applicable Law which limits
      its ability to incur or consummate the transactions contemplated
      hereby.

     

    (l)  Material
      Government Contracts and Material Contracts.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    Section
      6.2  Survival
      of Representations and Warranties, Etc.  All
      representations and warranties set forth in this Article VI and all
      representations and warranties contained in any certificate, or any of the
      Loan
      Documents (including, but not limited to, any such representation or warranty
      made in or in connection with any amendment thereto) shall constitute
      representations and warranties made under this Agreement.  All
      representations and warranties made under this Agreement shall be made or deemed
      to be made at and as of the Closing Date (except those that are expressly made
      as of a specific date), shall survive the Closing Date and shall not be waived
      by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any investigation made by
      or on
      behalf of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent or any Extension of Credit
      hereunder.

      Online or another similar electronic system (the
“Platform”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
      contained in the preceding sentence, the Borrower’s compliance with respect to
      the timely delivery of Borrower Materials shall be determined by reference
      to
      the date such Borrower Materials are initially delivered by the Borrower to
      the
      Administrative Agent, not by reference to the date such Borrower Materials
      are
      posted on the Platform.  The Borrower will cooperate with the

    AFFIRMATIVE
      COVENANTS

     

    Until
      all
      of the Obligations (other than (a) contingent or indemnification obligations
      not
      then due and (b) the Specified Obligations) have been paid and satisfied in
      full
      and the Commitments terminated, unless consent has been obtained in the manner
      provided for in Section 13.2, the Borrower will, and will cause each of
      its Subsidiaries to:

      all rights, permits, franchises, licenses and privileges necessary to the
      conduct of its business, and (b) except where the failure to qualify or remain
      qualified as a foreign corporation could not reasonably be expected to have
      a
      Material Adverse Effect, qualify and remain qualified as a foreign corporation
      and authorized to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature and scope
      of
      its activities require it to so qualify under Applicable Law.

     

    Section

      the
      Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower:

     

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

     

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

     

    (c)  Rights
      of Collection.  Exercise on behalf of the Lenders all of its other
      rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and

      Obligations.

     

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

     

    Section
      11.4  Crediting

      from
      the enforcement of the Obligations shall be applied:

     

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

     

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

      in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third
      payable to them);

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    ARTICLE
      XII

    THE
      ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    Section
      12.4  Reliance
      by the Administrative Agent.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

      necessary (i) to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the
      rate set forth in Section 4.1(c) during the continuance of an Event of
      Default, or (ii) to amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined

      of interest on any Loan or L/C Obligation or to reduce any fee payable
      hereunder;

     

    (f)  change
      Section 4.4 or Section 11.4 in a manner that would alter the
prorata sharing of payments required thereby without

      without the written consent of each Lender;

     

    providedfurther,
      that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed
      by
      the applicable Issuing Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect
      the rights or duties of such Issuing Lender under this Agreement or any Letter
      of Credit Application relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued
      by
      it; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed
      by
      the Swingline Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the
      rights or duties of the Swingline Lender under this Agreement; (iii) no
      amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the
      Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the
      rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other
      Loan Document; and (iv) the Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges
      thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties
      thereto.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no
      Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment,
      waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may
      not
      be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender.

     

    In
      addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Lender
      hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent on its behalf, and without its
      further consent, to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan
      Documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem appropriate in order
      to effectuate any increase in the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to Section
      2.7, including, without limitation, amendments to permit such increases in
      the Aggregate Commitments to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement
      and
      the other Loan Documents and to include appropriately any Lenders under such
      increases in the Aggregate Commitments in any determination of Required Lenders;
      provided that no such amendment shall adversely affect in any material
      respect the rights of any Lender, in each case, without the written consent
      of
      such Lender.

      out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Lender in connection with the
      issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand
      for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
      Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender (including the fees,

      Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and each Issuing Lender, and
      each
      Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called
      an
“Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, and shall

      assessed by OFAC), damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the
      fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred
      by
      any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by
      the
      Borrower or any other Credit Party arising out of, in connection with, or as
      a
      result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan
      Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the
      performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder
      or
      thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or
      thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of
      the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Lender to honor
      a
      demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in
      connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter
      of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous
      Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any

      and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (v) any claim
      (including, without limitation, any Environmental Claims or civil penalties

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

     

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

     

    (d)  Waiver
      of Consequential Damages, Etc.  To the fullest extent permitted by
      Applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim
      against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
      consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages)
      arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any
      other
      Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
      transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or
      the
      use of the proceeds thereof.  No Indemnitee referred to in clause (b)
      above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended
      recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through
      telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in
      connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions
      contemplated hereby or thereby.

     

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

     

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

     

    Section
      13.5  Governing
      Law, Jurisdiction, Etc.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    Section
      13.6  Waiver
      of Jury Trial.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    Section
      13.10  Successors
      and Assigns; Participations.

     

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

     

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

     

    (i)  Minimum
      Amounts.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    (d)  Participations.  Any
      Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the
      Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other
      than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or
      Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such
      Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
      portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that
      (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii)
      such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for
      the
      performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative
      Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the other Lenders shall
      continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
      Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

     

    Any
      agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation
      shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
      Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
      of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide
      that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to
      any
      amendment, modification or waiver or modification described in Section
      13.2 that directly affects such Participant and could not be affected by a
      vote of the Required Lenders.  Subject to paragraph (e) of this
      Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
      benefits of Sections 4.8, 4.9, 4.10 and 4.11 to the
      same extent as if it was a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
      pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.  To the extent permitted by
      law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section
      13.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be
      subject to Section 4.6 as though it were a Lender.

     

    (e)  Limitations
      upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to
      receive any greater payment under Sections 4.10 and
4.11 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled
      to
      receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless
      the
      sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior
      written consent.  A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it
      were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.11
      unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant
      and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with
      Section 4.11(e) as though it were a Lender.

     

    (f)  Certain
      Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
      interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure
      obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or
      assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that
      no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its
      obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender
      as a party hereto.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    Section
      13.17  Counterparts;
      Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

    Exhibit
      10.1

    
 

    EMPLOYMENT
      AGREEMENT

    

    D3
      Technologies Inc., a California corporation ("Corporation"), a
      wholly owned subsidiary of LMI AEROSPACE, INC. (“Parent”), a
      Missouri corporation, and Ryan P. Bogan ("Employee") hereby
      agree as follows

    

    1.           Employment.  The
      Corporation hereby employs Employee, and Employee accepts employment from the
      Corporation, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.  Any
      and all employment agreements heretofore entered into between the Corporation
      and Employee are hereby terminated and cancelled, and each of the parties hereto
      mutually releases and discharges the other from any and all obligations and
      liabilities heretofore or now existing under or by virtue of any such employment
      agreements, it being the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement,
      effective immediately, shall supersede and be in lieu of any and all prior
      employment agreements between them.

     

    
      2.           Term
        of Employment.  

    

    (A)           The
      initial term of Employee's employment under this Agreement shall commence on
      July 31, 2007 and shall terminate on December 31, 2010; provided, however,
      that
      this Agreement shall be automatically extended for additional terms of one
      year
      each unless not later than October 31 of any year beginning in 2010, either
      party has given written notice to the other party of its or his intention not
      to
      extend the term of this Agreement; and provided, further, that the term of
      employment may be terminated upon the earlier occurrence of any of the following
      events:

     

    (1)           Upon
      the termination of the business or corporate existence of the
      Corporation;

    

    (2)           At
      the Corporation’s option, in the event the Corporation determines that Employee
      is not performing the duties required of him hereunder to the satisfaction
      of
      the Corporation;

    

    (3)           Upon
      the death of the Employee;

    

    (4)           At
      the Corporation's option, if Employee shall suffer a permanent disability;
      (For
      the purposes of this Agreement, "permanent disability" means any physical or
      mental impairment that renders the Employee unable for a period of six (6)
      months or more to perform the essential job functions of his position, even
      with
      reasonable accommodation, as determined by a physician selected by the
      Corporation.  The Employee acknowledges and agrees that he shall
      voluntarily submit to a medical or psychological examination for the purpose
      of
      determining his continued fitness to perform the essential functions of his
      position whenever requested to do so by the Corporation.  If the
      Corporation elects to terminate the employment relationship on this basis,
      the
      Corporation shall notify the Employee or his representative in writing and
      the
      termination shall become effective on the date that such notification is
      given;

    

    (5)           At
      the Corporation's option, upon ten (10) calendar days’ written notice to
      Employee, in the event of any breach or default by Employee of any of the terms
      of this Agreement or of any of Employee's duties or obligations
      hereunder.  In lieu of providing ten (10) calendar days’ advance
      written notice, the Corporation, at its sole option, may terminate the
      Employee’s services immediately and pay him an amount that is equivalent to ten
      (10) calendar days of his salary, less any deductions required by
      law;

    

    (6)           At
      the Corporation’s option, without any advance notice, in the event that the
      Employee engages in conduct which, in the opinion of the Corporation, (1)
      constitutes dishonesty of any kind (including, but not limited to, any
      misrepresentation of facts or falsification of records) in Employee’s relations,
      interactions or dealings with the Corporation or its customers; (2) constitutes
      a felony; (3) potentially may or will expose the Corporation to public disrepute
      or disgrace, or potentially may or will cause harm to the customer relations,
      operations or business prospects of the Corporation; (4) constitutes harassment
      or discrimination towards any person associated with the Corporation, whether
      an
      employee, agent or customer, based upon that person’s race, color, national
      origin, sex, age, disability, religion, or other protected status; (5) reflects
      disruptive or disorderly conduct, including but not limited to, acts of
      violence, fighting, intimidation or threats of violence against any person
      associated with the Corporation, whether an employee, agent or customer, or
      possessing a weapon while on the Corporation’s premises or while acting on
      behalf of the Corporation; (6) is indicative of abusive or illegal drug use
      while on the Corporation’s premises or while acting on the Corporation’s behalf;
      or (7) constitutes a willful violation of any governmental rules or regulations;
      or

    

    (7)           At
      the Employee’s option, after providing the Corporation with at least thirty (30)
      calendar days advance written notice of his intention to terminate the
      employment relationship.

    

    If
      employment is terminated for any of the reasons set forth in subparagraphs
      (3)
      through (7) of this section 2(A), Employee shall be entitled to receive only
      the
      Base Salary (as that term is hereinafter defined) accrued but unpaid as of
      the
      date of the termination and shall be ineligible to receive any additional
      compensation or severance pay.  If, on the other hand, employment is
      terminated by the Corporation during the term of this Agreement for any reason
      other than those set forth in paragraphs (3) through (7) of this section 2(A),
      subject to the conditions set forth in paragraphs 2(C) and (D) of this
      Agreement, the Corporation shall provide severance pay to Employee in an amount
      based upon his length of service with the Corporation.  Specifically,
      the Corporation shall provide Employee with six (6) months of Base Salary if
      he
      has less than five (5) years of service with the Corporation as of the date
      of
      his termination and with twelve (12) months of Base Salary if he has five (5)
      or
      more years of service with the Corporation  as of the date of his
      termination.  Such severance pay shall be paid in equal monthly
      installments, unless the Corporation, within its sole discretion, elects to
      pay
      the present value of the severance pay in a lump sum within thirty (30) calendar
      days of the termination.

    

    (B)           If
      employment is terminated in conjunction with a change in the control of the
      Corporation or the Parent or in conjunction with the sale of substantially
      all
      of the operating assets of the Corporation or the Parent, the Corporation will
      provide Employee with severance pay under the circumstances specified in
      subparagraphs (1) and (2) of this paragraph (B), and the conditions set forth
      in
      paragraphs 2(C) and (D) of this Agreement.  For the purposes of this
      Agreement, a “change in control” is defined as the sale of substantially all of
      the operating assets of the Corporation or the Parent or the acquisition of
      more
      than fifty percent (50%) of the stock of the Corporation or the Parent by a
      group of shareholders or an entity which acquires control of the Corporation
      or
      the Parent (a “Purchaser”).

    

    (1)           If
      the change in control or the sale results in the involuntary termination of
      Employee or results in the Employee electing to terminate his employment for
      Good Reason (as defined in paragraph 2(E)(2)), the Corporation shall provide
      Employee with severance pay in an amount that is equal to two times his annual
      Base Salary and shall pay Employee any reasonably anticipated Performance Bonus
      for the fiscal year in which he was terminated on a prorated basis.

    

    (2)           If
      Employee voluntarily terminates his employment without Good Reason (as defined
      in paragraph 2(E)) within ninety (90) days after the change in control or the
      sale, the Corporation shall provide Employee with six (6) months of Base Salary
      if he has less than five (5) years of service with the Corporation as of the
      date of his termination and with twelve (12) months of Base Salary if he has
      five (5) or more years of service with the Corporation as of the date of his
      termination.

    

    (3)           For
      purposes of this paragraph 2(B), in the event a change of control occurs after
      April 1, 2010, Employee may take up to nine (9) months from the date of change
      of control to claim severance pay, as provided in paragraph 2(B)(1) and
      (2).

    

    (C)           The
      severance pay provided for in section 2(A) of this Agreement shall be paid
      in
      equal monthly installments, unless the Corporation, within its sole discretion,
      elects to pay the present value of the severance pay in a lump sum within thirty
      (30) calendar days of the termination.  For purposes of calculating
      the present value of the severance pay, the discount rate shall be the prime
      rate quoted in the Wall Street Journal on the day the Corporation elects to
      pay
      the present value of the severance pay in a lump sum.

    

    (D)           Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary, (i) the amount of severance pay provided under this
      Agreement shall not under any circumstances exceed the limitations set forth
      in
§ 280G of the Code, and (ii) the Corporation’s obligation to pay the severance
      pay provided for in this section 2 shall be conditioned on Employee’s execution
      of a written release satisfactory to the Corporation.

    

    (E)           For
      the purposes of paragraph 2(B), “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any
      of the following events:  (1) a significant reduction of Employee’s
      duties, authority or responsibilities relative to Employee’s duties, authority
      or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to such reduction; (2) the
      Purchaser requiring Employee to relocate his primary work office to a facility
      or location more than fifty (50) miles from Employee’s then-present location; or
      (3) the Purchaser refusing to offer full time employment to Employee on terms
      comparable to those provided by the Corporation prior to the
      acquisition.

    

    3.           Compensation.

    

    (A)           During
      the period from July 31, 2007 to December 31, 2007, the Corporation shall
      compensate Employee for Employee's services rendered hereunder by paying to
      Employee a monthly salary (the "Monthly Base Salary") of Fourteen Thousand,
      Five
      Hundred Eighty-Three Dollars and Thirty-Three Cents ($14,583.33), less any
      authorized or required payroll deductions.  During the period from
      January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008, the Employee’s annual salary (the “Base
      Salary”) shall be One Hundred Eighty-One Thousand, One Hundred and Twenty-five
      Dollars ($181,125.00), less any authorized or required payroll
      deductions.  During the period from January 1, 2009 to December 31,
      2009, the Employee’s Base Salary shall be One Hundred Eighty-Seven Thousand,
      Four Hundred and Sixty-Four Dollars ($187,464), less any authorized or required
      payroll deductions.  During the period from January 1, 2010 to
      December 31, 2010, the Employee’s Base Salary shall be One Hundred Ninety-Four
      Thousand and Twenty-Six Dollars ($194,026), less any authorized or required
      payroll deductions.  Thereafter, as long as this Agreement remains in
      effect, the annual Base Salary that the Corporation shall pay to the Employee
      for his services rendered hereunder will be One Hundred Ninety-Four Thousand
      and
      Twenty-Six Dollars ($194,026) less any authorized or required payroll
      deductions.  Payment of this salary will be made in accordance with
      the payroll policies of the Corporation in effect from time to
      time.

    

    (B)           With
      respect to each complete fiscal year of the Corporation during which (i) the
      Employee is employed under the terms of this Agreement as of the last day of
      such fiscal year, and (ii) the Corporation's "Annual Income from Operations"
      (as
      that term is hereinafter defined) is more than Three Million Dollars
      ($3,000,000.00), the Corporation shall pay to Employee, in addition to the
      Base
      Salary, an annual "Performance Bonus".

    

    (1)  The
      amount of the 2007 Performance Bonus (if any) shall be calculated in a manner
      consistent with the past practice of the Corporation, but awarded in the sole
      discretion of the Chief Executive Officer of the Parent, with the consent of
      the
      Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors of the Parent.

    

    (2)  The
      amount of the 2008 Performance Bonus (if any) and for each year thereafter
      shall
      be equal to Seven Tenths of One Percent (0.7%) of the Corporation's Annual
      Income from Operations.

    

    For
      purposes of the calculation of the Performance Bonus, the Corporation's "Annual
      Income from Operations" means the consolidated Income from Operations of the
      Corporation and its subsidiaries, for a given fiscal year, as determined by
      the
      firm of independent certified public accountants providing auditing services
      to
      the Corporation, using generally accepted accounting principles consistently
      applied, and calculated without regard to (a) federal and state income tax,
      (b)
      any interest expense or other income and expense as they appear on the
      Corporation’s annual audited financial statements, (c) any amortization of
      intangibles associated with the 2007 purchase of the Corporation by the Parent,
      (d) any intercompany corporate charges other than those specifically on behalf
      of the Corporation which arise after the purchase by the Parent, and (e) any
      income or loss attributable to any other corporation or entity (including the
      assets of a corporation or entity that constitute an operating business)
      acquired by or merged into the Corporation subsequent to the effective date
      of
      this Agreement.  The Corporation shall pay to Employee any Performance
      Bonus due the Employee hereunder not later than fifteen (15) days after the
      receipt by the Corporation of its annual audited financial statements, which
      the
      Corporation expects to receive within ninety (90) days after the end of each
      fiscal year of the Corporation.

    

    (C)           In
      addition to the Base salary and Performance Bonus (if any), Employee shall
      be
      entitled to receive such bonus compensation as the Board of Directors of the
      Parent may authorize from time to time.

    

    (D)           The
      Parent retains the right to modify or adjust the manner in which the Performance
      Bonus is calculated in the event that the Corporation or Parent either acquires
      the assets of another entity, or any portion thereof, or sells its assets,
      or
      any portion thereof, to another entity.

    

    4.           Duties
      of Employee

    

    (A)           Employee
      shall serve as President and Chief Executive Officer for the Corporation or
      in
      such other positions as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the
      Parent, and Employee shall perform such duties on behalf of the Corporation
      and
      its subsidiaries by such means, at such locations (subject to paragraph
      2(E)(2)), and in such manner as may be specified from time to time by the
      officers or Board of Directors of the Parent.

    

    (B)           Employee
      agrees to abide by and conform to all rules established by the Corporation
      applicable to its employees.

    

    (C)           Employee
      acknowledges that he is being employed as a full-time employee, and Employee
      agrees to devote so much of Employee's entire time, attention and energies
      to
      the business of the Corporation as is necessary for the successful operation
      of
      the Corporation and shall endeavor at all times to improve the business of
      the
      Corporation.  Employee shall not accept any business commitments other
      than with the Corporation without the advance written consent of the

    5.           Expenses.  During
      the period of Employee's employment, except as otherwise specifically provided
      in this Agreement, the Corporation will pay directly, or reimburse Employee
      for,
      all items of reasonable and necessary business expenses approved in advance
      by
      the Corporation if such expenses are incurred by Employee in the interest of
      the
      business of the Corporation.  The Corporation shall also reimburse
      Employee for automobile expenses incurred by Employee in the performance of
      Employee's duties hereunder.  The amount of such reimbursement shall
      be in accordance with the automobile expense reimbursement policy adopted (and
      as it may be modified  from time  to time)  by the
      Parent’s Board of Directors.  All such expenses paid by Employee will
      be reimbursed by the Corporation upon presentation by Employee, from time to
      time (but not less than quarterly), of an itemized account of such expenditures
      in accordance with the Corporation's policy for verifying such
      expenditures.

    

    6.           Fringe
      Benefits

     

    (A)           Employee
      shall be entitled to participate in any health, accident and life insurance
      program and other benefits which have been or may be established by the
      Corporation on the same basis as other salaried employees of the
      Corporation.

    

    (B)           Employee
      shall be entitled to an annual vacation without loss of compensation for such
      period as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the

    (C)           The
      Corporation shall furnish to the Employee during the term of his employment
      an
      automobile selected by the Corporation to aid the Employee in the performance
      of
      his duties.  Upon agreement of the Corporation and the Employee, the
      Corporation may, in lieu of the automobile, provide the Employee with a Five
      Thousand Dollar ($5,000.00) annual automobile allowance.

    (B)           During
      the term of Employee’s employment with the Corporation and for all time
      thereafter, Employee covenants and agrees that Employee will not in any manner
      directly or indirectly, except as required in Employee’s duties to the
      Corporation, disclose or divulge to any person, entity, firm or company
      whatsoever, or use for Employee’s own benefit or the benefit of any other
      person, entity, firm or company, directly or indirectly, any Confidential
      Information or Trade Secrets, knowledge, documents, data, or other information,
      in whatever form maintained, obtained by, or known to Employee as result of
      the
      employment relationship with Corporation and Parent, the parties hereto
      stipulating, as between them that disclosure of the same to or use of the same
      by third parties would greatly affect the effective and successful conduct
      of
      the business of the Corporation and the goodwill of the Corporation, and that
      any breach of the terms of this subparagraph (B) shall be a material breach
      of
      this Agreement.

    

    (C)           During
      the term of Employee’s employment with the Corporation and for a period of one
      (1) year (the “Covenant Term”) after cessation for whatever reason of such
      employment (except as hereinafter provided in subparagraph D of this paragraph
      7), Employee covenants and agrees that Employee will not in any manner directly
      or indirectly, either as an employee, employer, lender, owner, technical
      assistant, partner, member, agent, principal, broker, advisor, consultant,
      manager, shareholder, director, or officer, or in any other capacity, on
      Employee’s behalf or on behalf of any person, firm, partnership, entity or
      corporation, or by any agent or employee:

     

    
      (i)            call
        upon, solicit, contact, divert, take away, do business with or attempt to
        call
        upon, solicit, contact, divert, take away or do business with any customer
        of
        the Corporation or any potential customer of the Corporation who Employee
        had
        contacted, solicited or serviced while at Corporation and about whom Employee
        has Corporation Trade Secrets or Confidential Information; or

    

     

    (ii)           solicit
      the services of, interfere with the employment or business relationship of,
      or
      endeavor to employ any employee or independent contractor of the Corporation
      who
      worked as an Executive and/or Engineer at the Corporation within a period of
      one
      (1) year prior to the date of termination of Employee’s employment with
      Corporation.

     

    (D)           The
      parties agree that the Covenant Term provided for in the preceding subparagraph
      (C) shall be:

     

    (i)           reduced
      to six (6) months in the event all of the operating assets or all of the common
      stock of the Corporation or the Parent is sold to any entity or individuals
      unaffiliated with the Corporation or the Parent, its successors or assigns;
      or

     

    (ii)           eliminated
      if the business currently operated by the Corporation or the Parent is
      terminated and the assets of the Corporation or the Parent are
      liquidated.

     

    (E)           All
      the covenants of Employee contained in this paragraph 7 shall be construed
      as
      agreements independent of any other provision of this Agreement, and the
      existence of any claim or cause of action against the Corporation, whether
      predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to
      the
      enforcement by the Corporation of these covenants.

     

    (F)           It
      is the intention of the parties to restrict the activities of Employee under
      this paragraph 7 only to the extent necessary for the protection of legitimate
      business interests of the Corporation and the Parent, and the parties
      specifically covenant and agree that should any of the provisions set forth
      therein, under any set of circumstances not now foreseen by the parties, be
      deemed too broad for such purpose, said provisions will nevertheless be valid
      and enforceable to the extent necessary for such protection.

     

    8.           Documents.  Upon
      cessation of Employee’s employment with the Corporation, for whatever reason,
      all company property, including, but not limited to, all documents, records
      (including without limitation, customer records), books, notebooks, records,
      personal notes, list of customers, and all reproductions, duplicates, contracts
      and correspondence pertaining to the Corporation’s customers statements or
      correspondence, including copies thereof, relating to the business of the
      Corporation or the Parent then in Employee’s possession, whether prepared by
      Employee or others, will be delivered to and left with the Corporation, and
      Employee agrees not to retain copies of the foregoing documents without the
      written consent of the Corporation.

     

    9.           Remedies.  In
      the event of the breach by Employee of any of the terms of this Agreement,
      notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the
      Corporation may terminate the employment of Employee in accordance with the
      provisions of paragraph 2 of this Agreement.  It is further agreed
      that any breach or evasion of any of the terms of this Agreement by Employee
      will result in immediate and irreparable injury to the Corporation and will
      authorize recourse to injunction and/or specific performance as well as to
      other
      legal or equitable remedies to which the Corporation may be
      entitled.  In addition to any other remedies that it may have in law
      or equity, the Corporation also may require an accounting and repayment of
      all
      profits, compensation, remuneration or other benefits realized, directly or
      indirectly, as a result of such breaches by the Employee or by a competitor’s
      business controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Employee.  No
      remedy conferred by any of the specific provisions of this Agreement is intended
      to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy given hereunder
      or
      now or hereafter existing at law or in equity by statute or
      otherwise.  The election of any one or more remedies by the
      Corporation or the Parent shall not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue
      other available remedies.  Employee expressly agrees to pay all
      reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by the Corporation or the Parent
      in order to enforce the Employee’s obligations under this Agreement, regardless
      of whether litigation is commenced or prosecuted to a judgment.

     

    10.           Severability.  All
      agreements and covenants contained herein are severable, and in the event any
      of
      them shall be held to be invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, this
      Agreement, subject to subparagraph 7(F) hereof, shall continue in full force
      and
      effect and shall be interpreted as if such invalid agreements or covenants
      were
      not contained herein.

     

    11.           Entire
      Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire
      agreement between the Corporation and the Employee with respect to the subject
      matter hereof and supersedes all prior proposals, negotiations, representations,
      communications, writings, outlines and agreements between the Corporation and
      the Employee with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether oral or written,
      which shall be of no further force and effect.  No amendments to this
      Agreement, except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, may be made
      except by a writing signed by both parties.

     

    12.           Waiver
      or Modification.  No waiver or modification of this
      Agreement or of any covenant, condition or limitation herein shall be valid
      unless in writing and duly executed by the party to be charged therewith, and
      no
      evidence of any waiver or modification shall be offered or received in evidence
      in any proceeding or litigation between the parties hereto arising out of or
      affecting this Agreement, or the rights or obligations of the parties hereunder,
      unless such waiver or modification is in writing, duly executed as aforesaid,
      and the parties further agree that the provisions of this Paragraph may not
      be
      waived except as herein set forth.  Failure of a party to exercise or
      otherwise act with respect to any of its rights hereunder in the event of a
      breach of any of the terms or conditions hereof by the other party shall not
      be
      construed as a waiver of such breach nor prevent the other party from thereafter
      enforcing strict compliance with any and all of the terms and conditions
      hereof.

     

    13.           Assignability.  This
      Agreement may be assigned by the Corporation to another entity which purchases
      substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or the Parent or acquires
      a
      majority of the stock of the Corporation or the Parent.  The services
      to be performed by Employee hereunder are personal in nature and, therefore,
      Employee shall not assign Employee’s rights or delegate Employee’s obligations
      under this Agreement, and any attempted or purported assignment or delegation
      not herein permitted shall be null and void.

     

    14.           Successors.  Subject
      to the provisions of paragraph 12, this Agreement shall be binding upon and
      shall inure to the benefit of the Corporation and Employee and their respective
      heirs, executors, administrators, legal administrators, successors and
      assigns.

     

    15           Notices.  Any
      notice or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in
      writing and shall be deemed to have been given if delivered personally or mailed

      Corporation, to:

      Agreement shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made in the State of
      Missouri and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
      of
      the State of Missouri, notwithstanding either the place of execution hereof,
      nor

      jurisdiction.

      County, Missouri.

    

    18.           Disclosure
      of Existence of Agreement.  To preserve the respective
      rights under this Agreement, the parties may advise any third party of the
      existence of this Agreement and its terms, and each party specifically releases
      and agrees to indemnify and hold the other party harmless from any liability
      for
      doing so.
