     2.2 Borrowing Procedure for Loans.
     (a) The Borrower shall request Loans by written notice, or by telephonic notice confirmed in writing or confirmed by electronic mail, to the Agent (i) in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loans, not later than 11 a.m., Milwaukee time, on the date which is least two Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date (which must be a Business Day) and (ii) in the case of Daily Reset LIBOR Rate Loans, not later than 11 a.m., Milwaukee time, on the requested Borrowing Date (which must be a Business Day). Each such request by the Borrower must specify the amount of the requested Loan, whether such Loan is to be a Daily Reset LIBOR Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan and, if the Borrower requests a LIBOR Rate Loan, the applicable Loan Period. The aggregate amount of Loans made on each Borrowing Date shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000. In the event of any inconsistency between the telephonic notice and the written confirmation thereof, the telephonic notice shall control. Each request for Loans shall be irrevocable and shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the borrowing conditions specified in sections 3.1(b)(ii) and 3.1(b)(iii) will be satisfied on the specified Borrowing Date. The Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of the requested Loan. On or before 2 p.m., Milwaukee time, on the specified Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Percentage of the requested Loan with the Agent in immediately available funds. Upon fulfillment of the applicable borrowing conditions, the Agent shall deposit the Loans in the Borrower’s account maintained with the Agent or as the Borrower may otherwise direct in writing.
     (b) Unless the Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, by a Lender not later than 2 p.m., Milwaukee time, on a Borrowing Date that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s Percentage of the requested Loan, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such amount available to the Agent, then upon notice from the Agent, the Borrower agrees to repay the amount advanced by the Agent on behalf of such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date the Agent made such amount available to the Borrower to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at the interest rate applicable to such Loan.
     (c) The failure of any Lender to make a Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make a Loan on the applicable Borrowing Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the applicable Borrowing Date.

     2.3 Interest Rate, Payments, etc.
          (a) Interest Rate Options. The unpaid principal balance of each Loan outstanding from time to time shall bear interest for the period commencing on the Borrowing Date of such Loan until such Loan is paid in full. Interest on each Loan hereunder shall accrue at one of the following per annum rates selected by the Borrower in accordance with section 2.2(a) hereof (i) 2.00% plus the one-month LIBOR Rate quoted by the Agent from Reuters Screen LIBOR01 or any successor thereto, which shall be that one-month LIBOR rate in effect and reset each Business Day, adjusted for any reserve requirement and any subsequent costs arising from a change in government regulation (a “Daily Reset LIBOR Rate Loan”); or (ii)  1.75% plus the 1, 2 or 3 month LIBOR rate quoted by the Agent from Reuters Screen LIBOR01 or any successor thereto (which shall be the LIBOR rate in effect two Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date of such Loan), adjusted for any reserve requirement and any subsequent costs arising from a change in government regulation (a “LIBOR Rate Loan”). The Agent’s internal records of applicable interest rates shall be determinative in the absence of manifest error.
          (b) Interest Payments. Interest accrued on Daily Reset LIBOR Rate Loans is due on the last day of each calendar quarter, commencing June 30, 2008, and on the Maturity Date. Interest accrued on a LIBOR Rate Loan is due on the last day of its Loan Period or, if earlier, on the Maturity Date.
          (c) Increased Costs. In the event after the date of initial funding any governmental authority subjects a Lender to any new or additional charge, fee, withholding or tax of any kind with respect to any Loans hereunder or changes the method of taxation of such Loans or changes the reserve or deposit requirements applicable to such Loans, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such costs or lost income resulting therefrom as reasonably determined by such Lender.
          (d) Default Rate. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 2.3(a) above, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the unpaid principal balance of the Notes shall, upon notice from the Agent to the Borrower, bear interest at an annual rate equal to the rate announced by the Agent from time to time as its prime rate plus 2.00% (the “Default Rate”), payable upon demand. On and after the Maturity Date, the unpaid principal balance of the Notes and all accrued interest thereon shall bear interest at the Default Rate and shall be payable upon demand.

7


 

          (e) Calculation. Interest shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year.
     2.4 Continuation and Conversion.
          (a) A Daily Rate LIBOR Rate Loan shall continue as a Daily Rate LIBOR Rate Loan unless and until converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan. The Borrower may elect from time to time, subject to the terms and upon the conditions of this Agreement, to convert all or a portion (in an minimum amount of $1,000,000) of the outstanding Daily Rate LIBOR Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans.
          (b) In the event the Borrower does not timely elect to continue a LIBOR Rate Loan at least two Business Days before the end of the Loan Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan, the Agent may at any time after the end of the Loan Period convert the LIBOR Rate Loan to a Daily Reset LIBOR Rate Loan, but until such conversion the LIBOR Rate Loan shall continue to accrue interest at the same rate as the interest rate in effect for such LIBOR Rate Loan prior to the end of the Loan Period.
          (c) The Borrower will give the Bank irrevocable notice of each conversion of a Daily Reset LIBOR Rate Loan or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan not later than 11 a.m., Milwaukee time, two Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying (i) the requested date of such conversion or continuation, (ii) the amount to be converted into or continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan and (iii) the Loan Period applicable thereto.
          (d) Unless otherwise agreed to by the Majority Banks, no Loan may be converted into or continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
     2.5 Nonusage Fee. As consideration for each Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Percentage, on the last day of each calendar quarter, commencing June 30, 2008, and on the Maturity Date, a nonusage fee equal to 0.25% per year on the amount, if any, by which the daily average outstanding Revolving Loans were less than $70,000,000 during the preceding calendar quarter or other applicable period. Nonusage fees shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year.

     2.6 Reduction or Termination of Total Revolving Loan Commitments.
          (a) Mandatory. The Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall be automatically reduced by the amount of Net Proceeds of Additional Capital received by the Borrower after the Effective Date, effective on the date(s) of receipt, to an amount not less than $70,000,000.
          (b) Optional. The Borrower may, on any interest payment date commencing June 30, 2008, and upon five days’ prior written notice to the Agent, permanently reduce the amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that no such reduction shall reduce the amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment to an amount less than the aggregate unpaid principal balances of the Revolving Notes on the date of such reduction. Each optional reduction in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 above such minimum.
          (c) Effect of Reduction. Each reduction in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall ratably reduce each Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment.
     2.7 Payments. All payments of principal and interest on the Notes and of all fees due hereunder shall be made at the office of the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, in lawful currency of the United States, in immediately available funds not later than 2 p.m., Milwaukee time, on the date due; funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. The Agent may charge any account of the Borrower at the Agent for any payment due under the Notes, or any fee or expense payable hereunder, on or after the date due. Except as otherwise provided in section 2.9(b), the Agent shall forward to each Lender, promptly after receipt, such Lender’s Percentage of such payments received by the Agent. The Borrower will maintain a demand deposit account at the Agent to facilitate borrowings and repayments hereunder. All payments may be applied by a Lender to principal, interest and other amounts due under the Loan Documents in any order which such Lender elects.
     2.8 Prepayments.
          (a) Mandatory. The Borrower shall make such prepayments of the Notes on such dates and in such amounts as may be necessary so that the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Notes does not exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment.

9


 

          (b) Optional. The Borrower may at any time repay, without premium or penalty, Daily LIBOR Rate Loans in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 (or, if less, all outstanding Daily LIBOR Rate Loans). LIBOR Rate Loans may not be prepaid prior to the last day of the applicable Loan Period unless such prepayment is accompanied by any sums, including Interest Differential, required by subsection (c) below; provided, however, that if the Borrower repays the entire principal balances of the Revolving Notes and all interest and fees accrued through the prepayment date and terminates the Revolving Loan Commitments of the Lenders in accordance with section 2.6, such prepayment need not be on the last day of the applicable Loan Periods for the outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans and no Interest Differential shall be due. The Borrower will give the Agent notice of any optional prepayment of the Notes not later than 11 a.m., Milwaukee time, (i) in the case of a prepayment of Daily Rate LIBOR Rate Loans, on the prepayment date, or (ii) in the case of a prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans, on the Business Day prior to the prepayment date, specifying the prepayment date (which must be a Business Day) and the amount to be prepaid. The amount of such prepayment shall become due and payable by the Borrower on the specified prepayment date.
          (c) Prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2.8(b) above, if a LIBOR Rate Loan is prepaid prior to the end of its Loan Period, whether by the Borrower, as a result of acceleration upon default or otherwise, the Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender all of such Lender’s costs, expenses and the Interest Differential incurred as a result of such prepayment. Because of the short-term nature of this facility, the Borrower agrees that the Interest Differential shall not be discounted to its present value. Except for a mandatory prepayment required under section 2.8(a), any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in an amount equal to the remaining entire principal balance of such LIBOR Rate Loan.
     2.9 Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Payments.
          (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all payments of principal, interest and fees made by the Borrower shall be distributed pro rata to the Lenders according to their respective Percentages. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) in excess of its pro rata share of payments then or therewith obtained by all Lenders, such Lender shall immediately purchase, without recourse and for cash, from the other Lenders, such participations in the Notes of such other Lenders so that each Lender shall thereafter have a percentage interest in all of such obligations equal to such Lender’s Percentage; provided, however, that if any payment so received shall be recovered in whole or in part from such purchasing

10


 

Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of any such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights of payment (including its right of setoff) with respect to such participation as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender that fails to make available to the Agent its pro rata share of any Loan as, when and to the full extent required by the provisions of this Agreement, shall be deemed delinquent (a “Delinquent Lender”) until such time as such delinquency is satisfied. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower to the Agent and the nondelinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans. The Delinquent Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to (i) retain such payments to the extent the Agent funded such delinquency or (ii) distribute such payments to the nondeliquent Lenders in proportion to their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans to the extent the nondelinquent Lenders funded such delinquency. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of the application of the assigned payments to the Agent and/or the nondelinquent Lenders, all advances funded by the Agent have been repaid in full and the Lenders’ respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans have returned to their respective Percentages.
     2.10 Additional LIBOR Rate Loan Provisions.
          (a) If any Lender determines that the making or maintaining of a LIBOR Rate Loan would violate any applicable law, rule regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, then the obligation of the Lenders to make or continue LIBOR Rate Loans, or to convert Daily LIBOR Rate Loans into LIBOR Rate Loans, shall be suspended until the Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. During any such period, all LIBOR Rate Loans shall automatically convert into Daily LIBOR Rate Loans at the end of the applicable loan period or sooner if required by law.
          (b) If the Agent is unable to determine the LIBOR rate in respect of a requested LIBOR Rate Loan or the Lenders are unable to obtain deposits of United States dollars in the London interbank market in the applicable amounts and for the requested Loan Period, then, upon notice from the Agent to the Borrower, the obligation of the Lenders to make or continue LIBOR Rate Loans, or to convert Daily LIBOR Rate Loans into LIBOR Rate Loans, shall be suspended until the

11


 

Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
          (c) No more than 10 LIBOR Rate Loans shall be outstanding at any time.

23


 

thereto, in connection with the administration of and enforcement of any rights or remedies with respect to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agent. The Agent shall use reasonable diligence to examine the face of each document received by it hereunder to determine whether such document, on its face, appears to be what it purports to be. However, the Agent shall not be under any duty to examine into or pass upon the validity or genuineness of any documents received by it hereunder and the Agent shall be entitled to assume that any of the same which appears regular on its face is genuine and valid and what it purports to be.
     7.2 Discretion and Liability of the Agent. Subject to sections 7.3 and 7.5 hereof, the Agent shall be entitled to use its discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any rights which may vested in it by, or with respect to, taking or refraining from taking any action or actions which it may be able to take under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives shall be liable for any action taken or not taken or under any Loan Document in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
     7.3 Event of Default. The Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Event of Default has occurred unless the Agent has actual knowledge of such facts or has received notice from the Borrower or a Lender in writing that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and which specifies the nature thereof.
     If the Agent shall acquire actual knowledge of or receive notice from the Borrower or a Lender that an Event of Default has occurred, the Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Borrower of such Event of Default.

Upon any occasion requiring or permitting an approval, consent, waiver, election or other action on the part of the Lenders, unless action by the Agent alone is expressly permitted hereunder, action shall be taken by the Agent for and on behalf of, or for the benefit

24


 

of, the Lenders upon the direction of the Majority Lenders. The Company may rely upon any communication from the Agent hereunder and need not inquire into the propriety of or authorization for such communication. Upon receipt by the Agent from the Borrower or any Lender of any communication calling for an action on the part of the Lenders, the Agent will, in turn, promptly inform the other Lenders in writing of the nature of such communication.
     7.6 Limitations of Agency. The Agent will act under the Loan Documents solely as the agent of the Lenders and only to the extent specifically set forth in the Loan Documents and will, under no circumstances, be considered to be a trustee or fiduciary of any nature whatsoever in respect of any other person or entity. The Agent and its affiliates may generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business with the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and affiliates as if the Agent were not the Agent hereunder, without notice to or consent of any Lender. The Lenders acknowledge that pursuant to such activities the Agent or its affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower or its affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.
     7.7 No Representation or Warranty. No Lender (including the Agent) makes to any other Lender any representation or warranty, express or implied, or assumes any responsibility with respect to the execution, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
     7.8 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independent of and without reliance upon any other Lender (including the Agent) or any information provided by any other Lender (including the Agent) and based upon the financial statements of the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independent of and without reliance upon any other Lender (including the Agent) and based upon such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at that time, continue to make its own credit decision in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower which may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its affiliates.

25


 

     7.9 Indemnity. Each Lender hereby indemnifies (which indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement) the Agent, pro rata according to such Lender’s Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever including reasonable attorneys’ fees which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Agent in any way related to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the extent the Agent is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to section 8.6; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses which are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final proceeding to have resulted solely from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, unless it is indemnified hereunder to its satisfaction. If any indemnity in favor of the Agent shall be or become, in the Agent’s determination, inadequate, the Agent may call for additional indemnification from the Lenders and cease to do the acts indemnified against hereunder until such additional indemnity is given.

The Agent may be removed at any time by the Majority Lenders upon at least 30 days’ prior notice by the Majority Lenders to the Borrower and the Agent but only for cause consisting of its gross negligence or willful misconduct or following a declaration of insolvency by the appropriate regulators. If the Agent at any time shall resign or be removed, the Majority Lenders may appoint another Lender as a successor Agent which shall thereupon become the Agent hereunder. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint the successor Agent, which shall be one of the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall be entitled to receive from the retiring Agent such documents of transfer and such assignments as such successor Agent may reasonably request, and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Agent under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no Event of Default exists and is continuing, any successor Agent appointed hereunder, which must be a commercial banking institution, must be

26


 

acceptable to the Borrower, provided the Borrower’s consent to the appointment will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
ARTICLE VIII. MISCELLANEOUS
     8.1 Delay; Cumulative Remedies. No delay on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein specified are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Agent or a Lender would otherwise have.
     8.2 Relationship to Other Documents. The warranties, covenants and other obligations of the Borrower (and the rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders) that are contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are intended to supplement each other. In the event of any inconsistencies in any of the terms in the Loan Documents, all terms will be cumulative so as to give the Agent and the Lenders the most favorable rights set forth in the conflicting documents, except that if there is a direct conflict between any preprinted terms and specifically negotiated terms (whether included in an addendum or otherwise), the specifically negotiated terms will control.
     8.3 Assignments, Participations, Etc.
          (a) Any Lender may, with the written consent of the Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, at any time assign and delegate to one or more assignees (each an “Assignee”) (provided that no written consent of the the Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment and delegation by a Lender to an assignee that is an affiliate of such Lender) all, or any ratable part of all, of the Loans, the Revolving Loan Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000; provided, however, that the Borrower and the Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender and the Assignee; (ii) such Lender and its Assignee shall have delivered to the Borrower and the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of Exhibit C (“Assignment and Acceptance”) together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and (iii) except in the case of an assignment required hereunder by the Borrower, the

27


 

assignor Lender or Assignee has paid to the Agent a processing fee in the amount of $3,500.
          (b) From and after the date that the Agent notifies the assignor Lender that it has received (and provided that the Agent consents to such assignment in accordance with section 8.3(a)) an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the above-referenced processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents.
          (c) Within five Business Days after its receipt of notice by the Agent that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the processing fee, (and provided that the Agent consents to such assignment in accordance with section 8.3(a)), the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent, a new Note evidencing such Assignee’s assigned Loans and Revolving Loan Commitment and, if the assignor Lender has retained a portion of its Loans and its Revolving Loan Commitment, a replacement Note in the principal amount of the Loans retained by the assignor Lender (such Note to be in exchange for, but not in payment of, the Note held by such Lender). Immediately upon the Agent’s receipt of the executed Assignment and Assumption and the Agent’s consent thereto, and each Assignee’s making its processing fee payment under the Assignment and Acceptance, this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Revolving Loan Commitments arising therefrom. The Revolving Loan Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Revolving Loan Commitment of the assigning Lender pro tanto.
          (d) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more financial institutions or other persons not affiliates of the Borrower (a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitment of that Lender and the other interests of that Lender (the “originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the originating Lender in connection with the originating Lender’s

28


 

rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment, consent or waiver would require unanimous consent of the Lenders as described in subsections (a), (b), (c) and (e) of section 8.9. In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall be entitled to the benefit of sections 2.3(c) and 8.6 as though it were also a Lender hereunder, provided that the Borrower shall not be responsible for any amounts payable under the foregoing sections that the Borrower would not have otherwise been required to pay if such participation had not occurred, and if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement.
          (e) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement and the Note held by it in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.
          (f) In the event that (i) any Lender shall claim compensation under the last sentence of section 2.3(c) hereof which is not claimed by all of the Lenders, or (ii) any Lender fails to make available its pro rata share of any Loan, then, in addition to any other rights the Borrower may have, the Borrower may, upon fifteen (15) days prior notice to such Lender and the Agent, cause such Lender to assign, and such Lender shall immediately assign, to one or more Lenders (each a “Selected Assignee”) that desires to become a Lender under this Agreement selected by the Borrower and consented to by the Agent (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless the Agent is being removed pursuant to this subsection (f) in which case such consent would not be required, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Note held by such Lender, and each such Selected Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance in substantially the form of Exhibit C attached hereto executed by each such Selected Assignee and such assigning Lender. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument, payment of the processing fee set forth in section 8.3(a) and payment by such Selected Assignee or Selected Assignees to the assigning Lender of an aggregate amount equal to the outstanding principal balance on any Note

29


 

payable to such assigning Lender, together with accrued interest thereon, and all other amounts owing to such assigning Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, each such Selected Assignee shall be a Lender hereunder and under each of the other Loan Documents and shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender. In connection with assignments to Selected Assignees, each of the assigning Lender, each Selected Assignee, the Agent and the Borrower shall comply with the provisions of sections (a), (b) and (c) as if the term “Assignee” set forth therein referred to the Selected Assignee.
          (g) In connection with such assignments and sales of participating interests (and thereafter), a Lender may disclose any financial information such Lender may have concerning the Borrower to any such Assignee or potential Assignee, or Participant or potential Participant, subject to the confidentiality provisions contained herein.
     8.4 Expenses and Attorneys’ Fees. The Borrower will reimburse the Agent, each Lender and any Participant for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other reasonable costs, fees and out-of-pocket disbursements (including fees and disbursements of both inside counsel and outside counsel) incurred by the Agent, any Lender or any Participant in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, defense and enforcement of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including fees and costs related to any waivers or amendments with respect thereto (examples of costs and fees include but are not limited to fees and costs for: insurance and reviews related to the Borrower or the Loans, if requested by a Lender, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to pay for any such reviews unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). The Borrower will also reimburse the Agent, any Lender and any Participant for all reasonable costs of collection before and after judgment, and the costs of preservation and/or liquidation of any collateral (including fees and disbursements of both inside and outside counsel).
     8.5 Successors. The rights, options, powers and remedies granted in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will extend to the Agent, the Lenders and to their respective successors and assigns, will be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns and will be applicable hereto and to all renewals and/or extensions hereof.
     8.6 Indemnification. Except for harm arising from the Agent’s or any Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Borrower hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold the Agent, the Lenders and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from any

30


 

and all losses, costs, damages, claims and expenses of any kind suffered by or asserted against any Indemnified Party relating to claims by third parties arising out of the financing provided under the Loan Documents or related to any collateral. This indemnification and hold harmless provision will survive the termination of the Loan Documents and the satisfaction of the Obligations due the Agent and the Lenders.
     8.7 Notice of Claims Against the Agent or any Lender; Limitation of Certain Damages. In order to allow the Agent or any Lender to mitigate any damages to the Borrower from the Agent’s or such Lender’s alleged breach of its duties under the Loan Documents or any other duty, if any, to the Borrower, the Borrower agrees to give the Agent and such Lender immediate written notice of any claim or defense it has against the Agent or such Lender, whether in tort or contract, relating to any action or inaction by the Agent or such Lender under the Loan Documents, or the transactions related thereto, or of any defense to payment of the Obligations for any reason. The requirement of providing timely notice to the Agent and such Lender represents the parties’ agreed-to standard of performance regarding claims against the Agent or a Lender. Notwithstanding any claim that the Borrower may have against the Agent or a Lender, and regardless of any notice the Borrower may have given the Agent and such Lender, neither the Agent nor any Lender will be liable to the Borrower for consequential and/or special damages arising therefrom, except those damages arising from the Agent’s or such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
     8.8 Notices. Although any notice required to be given hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents might be accomplished by other means, notice will always be deemed given if in writing and on the third Business Day after placed in the United States certified or registered mail, with postage prepaid, or on the next Business Day after being sent by a reputable overnight delivery service, or when sent by confirmed telex or facsimile, in each case to the address set forth below each party’s signature hereto or as amended by notice as provided herein, provided that the Borrower’s notice to the Agent hereunder shall be deemed to be notice to the Lenders..
     8.9 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any departure by the Borrower or any applicable Subsidiary therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Majority Lenders (or by the Agent at the request of the Majority Lenders) and the Borrower and acknowledged by the Agent, and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided,

31

and, provided that, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Agent in addition to the Majority Lenders or all the Lenders, as the case may be, effect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
