2. LOANS.

(a) Revolving Loans.

Immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement, as of the date hereof, and after giving effect to the repayment of outstanding First Restated Revolving Loans with proceeds of Second Lien Debt, the outstanding principal balance of the First Restated Revolving Loans was $15,975,398.41 (the “Outstanding First Restated Revolving Loan Balance”). On the date hereof, the Outstanding First Restated Revolving Loan Balance shall remain an outstanding Liability except to the extent that such Outstanding First Restated Revolving Loan Balance is repaid on the date hereof. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Other Agreements to which an Obligor is a party, prior to the Maturity Date, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Lender, severally and not jointly, agrees to make its Pro Rata Share of revolving loans and advances (the “Revolving Loans”) requested by Borrower up to such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment so long as after giving effect to such Revolving Loans, the sum of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Loans and the Letter of Credit Obligations does not exceed the sum of the following sublimits (the “Revolving Loan Limit”):

(i) eighty-five percent (85%) of the face amount (less maximum discounts, credits and allowances which may be taken by or granted to Account Debtors in connection therewith in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business) of Borrower’s Billed Eligible Accounts; plus

(ii) (A) eighty-five percent (85%) of the face amount (less maximum discounts, credits and allowances which may be taken by or granted to Account Debtors in connection therewith in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business) of Borrower’s Unbilled Eligible Accounts or (B) Seventeen Million and No/100 Dollars ($17,000,000), whichever is less; minus

(iii) such reserves as Agent elects, in its sole discretion, determined in good faith, to establish from time to time (which amount shall include the Special Litigation Reserve and an amount reflecting unpaid payroll including payroll taxes which amount shall initially be $7,300,000);

provided, that the Revolving Loan Limit shall in no event exceed, as of any date, Twenty-Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($27,500,000.00) (such amount from time to time in effect, the “Maximum Revolving Loan Limit”); provided, further, that the Revolving Loan Limit shall be determined by reference to the most current borrowing base certificate delivered pursuant to subsection 9(a) and such determination shall remain in effect until delivery of the next borrowing base certificate unless the Revolving Loan Limit is otherwise adjusted by Agent in its sole credit judgment determined in good faith as a result of Billed Eligible Accounts or Unbilled Eligible Accounts becoming ineligible prior to the delivery of the next borrowing base certificate or the establishment by Agent in its sole discretion, determined in good faith, of any reserves. Agent shall provide prompt notice to Borrower when (i) any adjustment of the Revolving Loan Limit prior to the delivery of a borrowing base certificate pursuant to subsection 9(a) is made and (ii) establishing any reserves.

The aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Loans shall not at any time exceed the lesser of the (i) Revolving Loan Limit minus the Letter of Credit Obligations and (ii) the Maximum Revolving Loan Limit minus the Letter of Credit Obligations. If at any time the outstanding Revolving Loans exceeds either the Revolving Loan Limit or the Maximum Revolving Loan Limit, in each case minus the Letter of Credit Obligations, or any portion of the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations exceeds any applicable sublimit within the Revolving Loan Limit, Borrower shall immediately, and without the necessity of demand by Agent, pay to Agent such amount as may be necessary to eliminate such excess and Agent shall apply such payment to the outstanding Prime Rate Loans until such Revolving Loans are paid in full and then to the outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans.

Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations to make Revolving Loans hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Loan hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, to make its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Loans hereunder.

If Borrower makes a request for a Revolving Loan as provided herein Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, shall do either of the following:

(i) advance the amount of the proposed Revolving Loan to Borrower disproportionately (a “Disproportionate Advance”) out of Agent’s own funds on behalf of Lenders, which advance shall be on the same day as Borrower’s request therefor with respect to Prime Rate Loans if Borrower notifies Agent of such request by 1:00 P.M. (Chicago time) on such day, and request settlement in accordance with Section 18 hereof such that upon such settlement each Lender’s share of the outstanding Revolving Loans (including, without limitation, the amount of any Disproportionate Advance) equals its Pro Rata Share; or

(ii) Notify each Lender by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of teletransmission of the proposed advance on the same day Agent is notified or deemed notified by Borrower of Borrower’s request for an advance pursuant to this subsection 2(a). Each Lender shall remit, to the demand deposit account designated by Borrower (i) with respect to Prime Rate Loans, at or prior to 3:00 P.M., Chicago time, on the date of notification, if such notification is made before 1:00 P.M., Chicago time, or 10:00 A.M., Chicago time, on the Business Day immediately succeeding the date of such notification, if such notification is made after 1:00 P.M., Chicago time, and (ii) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, at or prior to 10:30 A.M., Chicago time, on the date such LIBOR Rate Loans are to be advanced, immediately available funds in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such proposed advance.

If and to the extent that a Lender does not settle with Agent as required under this Agreement (a "Defaulting Lender”) Borrower and Defaulting Lender severally agree to repay to Agent forthwith on demand such amount required to be paid by such Defaulting Lender to Agent, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to Agent (x) in the case of a Defaulting Lender at the rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the next succeeding Business Day as the “Federal Funds Rate” or if no such rate is published for any Business Day, at the average rate quoted for such day for such transactions from three (3) federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by Agent, and (y) in the case of Borrower, at the interest rate applicable at such time for such Revolving Loans; provided, that Borrower’s obligation to repay such advance to Agent shall not relieve such Defaulting Lender of its liability to Agent for failure to settle as provided in this Agreement.

Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, in its sole discretion determined in good faith, to charge any of Borrower’s accounts or advance Revolving Loans to make any payments of principal, interest, fees, reasonable and documented costs or reasonable and documented expenses required to be made under this Agreement or the Other Agreements.

A request for a Revolving Loan shall be made or shall be deemed to be made, each in the following manner: Borrower shall give Agent same day notice, no later than 1:00 P.M. (Chicago time) on such day, of its request for a Revolving Loan as a Prime Rate Loan, and at least three (3) Business Days prior notice of its request for a Revolving Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan, in which notice Borrower shall specify the amount of the proposed borrowing, the applicable Interest Period for LIBOR Rate Loans, and the proposed borrowing date; provided, however, that no such request may be made at a time when there exists an Event of Default or an event which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, will become an Event of Default. In the event that Borrower maintains a controlled disbursement account at LaSalle, each check presented for payment against such controlled disbursement account and any other charge or request for payment against such controlled disbursement account shall constitute, to the extent there are insufficient funds in such controlled disbursement account to make such payment, a request for a Revolving Loan as a Prime Rate Loan in an amount equal to any such insufficient funds. As an accommodation to Borrower, Agent may permit telephone requests for Revolving Loans and electronic transmittal of instructions, authorizations, agreements or reports to Agent by Borrower. Unless Borrower specifically directs Agent in writing not to accept or act upon telephonic or electronic communications from Borrower, Agent shall have no liability to Borrower for any loss or damage suffered by Borrower as a result of Agent’s honoring of any requests, execution of any instructions, authorizations or agreements or reliance on any reports communicated to it telephonically or electronically and purporting to have been sent to Agent by Borrower and Agent shall have no duty to verify the origin of any such communication or the authority of the Person sending it, except, in each case, to the extent Agent is grossly negligent or commits willful misconduct.

Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to disburse the proceeds of each Revolving Loan requested by Borrower, or deemed to be requested by Borrower, as follows: the proceeds of each Revolving Loan requested under subsection 2(a) shall be disbursed by Agent in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, in the case of the initial borrowing, in accordance with the terms of the written disbursement letter from Borrower, and in the case of each subsequent borrowing, by wire transfer, book transfer or Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfer to such bank account as may be agreed upon by Borrower and Agent from time to time, or elsewhere if pursuant to a written direction from Borrower.

(b) Repayments.

The Liabilities shall be repaid as follows:

(i) Repayment of Revolving Loans. The Revolving Loans and all other Liabilities shall be repaid on the Maturity Date. Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. With respect to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans other than from Proceeds of Collateral pursuant to Section 8 hereof, such prepayments may be made without premium or penalty (but with any required breakage fees pursuant to Section 4(b)(iv)), upon at least three Business Days’ notice to Agent in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans, or upon notice given to Agent not later than 1:00 P.M. (Chicago time) on the proposed date of prepayment in the case of any Prime Rate Loans, in each case, stating the proposed date, the types of Revolving Loans to be prepaid, the application of such prepayment among Revolving Loans and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given, Borrower shall, prepay the specified outstanding aggregate principal amount of the applicable Revolving Loans.

(ii) Mandatory Prepayments. Upon receipt of the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of any Equipment or real property of Borrower which is subject to a mortgage in favor of Agent, or if any of the Equipment or real property subject to such mortgage is damaged, destroyed or taken by condemnation in whole or in part, the proceeds thereof shall be paid by Borrower to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, as a prepayment of the Revolving Loans and other Liabilities as provided in Section 8 but shall not permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitments.

(c) Notes.

The Revolving Loans shall, in Agent’s and Lenders’ sole discretion, be evidenced by one or more promissory notes in substantially the form of Exhibit E hereto. However, if such Revolving Loans are not so evidenced, such Revolving Loans may be evidenced solely by entries upon the books and records maintained by Agent and each Lender.

(d) Reduction or Termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments.

Subject to Section 10, Borrower may, upon at least thirty (30) Business Days’ notice to Agent, permanently reduce in whole or in part the Revolving Loan Commitments to an amount not less than the then outstanding principal and outstanding accrued interest of the Revolving Loans; provided, however, that each partial reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be (i) in an aggregate amount of $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Loan Commitments.

3. LETTERS OF CREDIT.

(a) General Terms.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Other Agreements to which an Obligor is a party, prior to the Maturity Date, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent shall from time to time issue, upon Borrower’s request, commercial and/or standby Letters of Credit; provided, that the aggregate undrawn face amount of all such Letters of Credit shall at no time exceed Fifteen Million and No/100 Dollars ($15,000,000). Payments made by the issuer of a Letter of Credit to any Person on account of any Letter of Credit shall be immediately payable by Borrower without notice, presentment or demand and Borrower agrees that each payment made by the issuer of a Letter of Credit in respect of a Letter of Credit shall constitute a request by Borrower for a Prime Rate Loan on the date of such payment sufficient to reimburse such issuer; provided that, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Prime Rate Loan shall be deemed to be advanced by Lenders on the date of payment to such issuer notwithstanding any failure to satisfy the notice requirements set forth in Section 2. In the event such Prime Rate Loan is not advanced by Agent or Lenders for any reason, such reimbursement obligations (whether owing to the issuer of the Letter of Credit or Agent or Lenders) shall become part of the Liabilities hereunder and shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans constituting Prime Rate Loans until repaid. Borrower shall remit to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a Letter of Credit fee equal to two percent (2%) per annum on the aggregate undrawn face amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding, which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each month for such month or portion thereof. Borrower shall also pay on demand the normal and customary administrative charges of the issuer of the Letter of Credit for issuance, amendment, negotiation, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit.

(b) Requests for Letters of Credit.

Borrower shall make requests for Letters of Credit in writing at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date such Letter of Credit is to be issued. Each such request shall specify the date such Letter of Credit is to be issued, the amount thereof, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and a description of the transaction to be supported thereby. Any such notice shall be accompanied by the form of Letter of Credit requested and any application or reimbursement agreement customarily required by the issuer of such Letter of Credit. If any term of such application or reimbursement agreement is inconsistent with this Agreement, then the provisions of this Agreement shall control to the extent of such inconsistency.

(c) Obligations Absolute.

Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the issuer of any Letter of Credit, or Agent and/or Lenders if Agent and/or Lenders have reimbursed such issuer on Borrower’s behalf, for any payments made in respect of any Letter of Credit, which obligation shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid regardless of: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, (ii) any amendment or waiver of or consent or departure from all or any provisions of any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any Other Agreement, (iii) the existence of any claim, set off, defense or other right which Borrower or any other Person may have against any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or Agent, any Lender or the issuer of the Letter of Credit, (iv) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (v) any payment under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, and (vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the issuer of such Letter of Credit, Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other event or circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of Borrower’s obligations hereunder. It is understood and agreed by Borrower that the issuer of any Letter of Credit may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order without further investigation or inquiry, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.

(d) Expiration Dates of Letters of Credit.

The expiration date of each Letter of Credit shall be no later than the earlier of (i) one (1) year from the date of issuance and (ii) the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Letter of Credit may provide for automatic extensions of its expiration date for one or more one (1) year periods, so long as the issuer thereof has the right to terminate the Letter of Credit at the end of each one (1) year period and no extension period extends past the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the Maturity Date.

(e) Participation.

Immediately upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit in accordance with this Agreement, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation therein to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (including, without limitation, all obligations of Borrower with respect thereto). Borrower hereby indemnifies Agent and each Lender (in its capacity as Agent or Lender, as applicable) against any and all liability and expense (other than any liability or expense caused by or resulting from Agent’s or such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) it may incur in connection with any Letter of Credit and agrees to reimburse Agent and each Lender for any payment made by Agent or any Lender to the issuer in connection with the issuer’s payment with respect to a Letter of Credit.

(f) Letters of Credit Outstanding under First Restated Loan Agreement.

Borrower, Lenders and Agent hereby agree that any and all “Letters of Credit” (as such term is defined in the First Restated Loan Agreement) outstanding on the date hereof shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, the Revolving Loans shall bear interest at the per annum rate of interest set forth in subsection (i), (ii) or (iii) below:

(i) With respect to Prime Rate Loans, (x) prior to the consummation of a Qualified Equity Offering, one-fourth of one percent (0.25%) per annum in excess of the Prime Rate in effect from time to time, payable on the last Business Day of each month in arrears for the month or portion thereof and (y) from and following the consummation of a Qualified Equity Offering, the Prime Rate in effect from time to time, payable on the last Business Day of each month in arrears for the month or portion thereof. Said rates of interest shall increase or decrease by an amount equal to each increase or decrease in the Prime Rate effective on the effective date of each such change in the Prime Rate.

(ii) With respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, the Applicable Margin in excess of the LIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period, such rate to remain fixed for such Interest Period. “Interest Period” shall mean any continuous period of one (1), two (2) or three (3) months, as selected from time to time by Borrower by irrevocable notice (in writing, by telecopy, telex, electronic mail or cable or by telephone as provided in Section 2 hereof) given to Agent not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the first day of each respective Interest Period; provided that: (A) each such period occurring after such initial period shall commence on the day on which the immediately preceding period expires; (B) the final Interest Period shall be such that its expiration occurs on or before the Maturity Date; and (C) if for any reason Borrower shall fail to timely select a period, then such Revolving Loans shall continue as, or revert to, Prime Rate Loans. Said rate of interest shall be payable on the last Business Day of each month in arrears and on the last Business Day of such Interest Period.

(iii) Upon the election of Agent or Requisite Lenders following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Revolving Loans shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2.0%) per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable thereon, which interest shall be payable on demand. All interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year. Agent will provide prompt notice to Borrower after the increase of interest pursuant to this subsection 4(a)(iii).

(b) Other LIBOR Provisions; Taxes.

(i) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Borrower shall have the option (A) as of any date, to convert all or any part of the Prime Rate Loans to, or request that new Revolving Loans be made as, LIBOR Rate Loans of various Interest Periods, (B) as of the last day of any Interest Period, to continue all or any portion of the relevant LIBOR Rate Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans; (C) as of the last day of any Interest Period, to convert all or any portion of the LIBOR Rate Loans to Prime Rate Loans; and (D) at any time, to request new Revolving Loans as Prime Rate Loans; provided, that Revolving Loans may not be continued as or converted to LIBOR Rate Loans if the continuation or conversion thereof would violate the provisions of subsections 4(b)(ii) or 4(b)(iii) of this Agreement or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(ii) Agent’s determination of the LIBOR Rate as provided above shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Furthermore, if Agent or any Lender determines, in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error), prior to the commencement of any Interest Period that (A) U.S. Dollar deposits of sufficient amount and maturity for funding the Revolving Loans are not available to Agent or such Lender in the London Interbank Eurodollar market in the ordinary course of business, or (B) by reason of circumstances affecting the London Interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest to be applicable to the Revolving Loans requested by Borrower to be LIBOR Rate Loans or the Revolving Loans bearing interest at the rates set forth in subsection 4(a)(ii) of this Agreement shall not represent the effective pricing to such Lender for U.S. Dollar deposits of a comparable amount for the relevant period (such as for example, but not limited to, official reserve requirements required by Regulation D to the extent not given effect in determining the rate), Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and (1) all existing LIBOR Rate Loans shall convert to Prime Rate Loans upon the end of the applicable Interest Period, and (2) no additional LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made until such circumstances are cured.

(iii) If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in any applicable law, treaty, rule, regulation or guideline or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority or any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority having jurisdiction over Agent or any Lender or its lending offices (a “Regulatory Change”), shall, in the opinion of counsel to Agent or such Lender, make it unlawful for Agent or such Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, then Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and (A) the LIBOR Rate Loans shall immediately convert to Prime Rate Loans on the last Business Day of the then existing Interest Period or on such earlier date as required by law and (B) no additional LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made until such circumstance is cured.

(iv) If, for any reason, a LIBOR Rate Loan is paid prior to the last Business Day of any Interest Period or if a LIBOR Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified by Borrower in its request (other than as a result of a default by Agent or a Lender), Borrower agrees to indemnify Agent and each Lender against any loss (including any loss on redeployment of the deposits or other funds acquired by Agent or such Lender to fund or maintain such LIBOR Rate Loan but excluding any lost profit or margins), cost or expense incurred by Agent or such Lender as a result of such prepayment or failure to borrow. If Agent or any Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to Borrower a certificate setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense and an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such loss, cost or expense and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be conclusive in the absence manifest error.

(v) If any Regulatory Change (whether or not having the force of law) shall (A) impose, modify or deem applicable any assessment, reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds or disbursements by, Agent or any Lender; (B) subject to the provisions of subsection 4(b)(vi) (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), cause Agent or any Lender or the LIBOR Rate Loans to be subject to any Tax or change the basis of taxation of payments to Agent or any Lender of principal or interest due from Borrower to Agent or such Lender hereunder (other than a change in the taxation of the overall net income of Agent or such Lender); or (C) impose on Agent or any Lender any other adverse condition regarding the LIBOR Rate Loans or Agent’s or any Lender’s funding thereof, and Agent or any Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive, absent any manifest error) that the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent or such Lender of making or maintaining the LIBOR Rate Loans or to reduce the amount of principal or interest received by Agent or such Lender hereunder, then Borrower shall pay to such party, on demand, such additional amounts as such party shall, from time to time, determine are sufficient to compensate and indemnify such party from such increased cost or reduced amount. If Agent or a Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to Borrower after such claim a certificate setting forth the computation of the increased costs or reduced amount in reasonable detail and such compilation shall be conclusive in absence of manifest error.

(vi) Each of Agent and each Lender shall receive payments of amounts of principal of and interest with respect to the LIBOR Rate Loans free and clear of, and without deduction for, any Taxes.

(A) If Borrower shall be required to withhold or deduct any Tax from any such amount payable with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan, then such amount shall be increased by Borrower to the extent necessary to ensure that, after such withholding or deduction, Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) receives a net amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required or made. If Agent or any Lender shall be subject to any Tax in respect of any LIBOR Rate Loan or any part thereof, then Borrower shall indemnify Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) for the full amount of such Tax paid by Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) within 30 days after the date Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. Such written demand shall be accompanied by a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such indemnification and the basis for the calculation of such amount, and shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) to the extent that such Tax was incurred by Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) (x) more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) become aware that Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) is subject to such Tax or (y) to the extent such Tax was incurred as a result of Agent’s or such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(B) Prior to the closing of the transactions described herein or related hereto, in the case of each Non-U.S. Lender that is a signatory hereto, and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Non-U.S. Lender (and from time to time thereafter if requested by Borrower or Agent), each Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled at such time to an exemption from United States withholding tax, or that is subject to such tax at a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty, shall provide Borrower and Agent with two validly completed originals of each of the following, as applicable: (1) Form W-8ECI (claiming exemption from United States withholding tax because the income is effectively connected with a United States trade or business) or any successor form, (2) Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, United States withholding tax under an applicable tax treaty) or any successor form, (3) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption under section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from United States withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form and a certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Borrower to the effect that (x) such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” for purposes of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not subject to regulatory or other legal requirements as a bank in any jurisdiction, and has not been treated as a bank for purposes of any tax, securities law or other filing or submission made to any governmental authority, any application made to a rating agency or qualification for any exemption from any tax, securities law or other legal requirements, (y) is not a ten percent (10%) shareholder for purposes of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code and (z) is not a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person for purposes of section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, (4) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is an “intermediary” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations section 1.1441-1(c)(13), Form W-8IMY or any successor or substitute form or forms, including therewith any withholding certificates and withholding statements required under the applicable Treasury Regulations or (5) any other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS or applicable law certifying as to such Non-U.S. Lender’s entitlement to such exemption from United States withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender with respect to the LIBOR Rate Loans. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall also provide to each of Borrower and Agent two completed copies of the relevant forms (or successor forms), certificates or documents described in clauses (1) through (5) of the immediately preceding sentence on or before the date that the most recent form, certificate or document previously provided expires or becomes obsolete, or promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form, certificate or document previously provided, certifying that such Non-U.S. Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments made to such Non-U.S. Lender with respect to the LIBOR Rate Loans, unless a change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order (or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required that renders all such documentation inapplicable or that would prevent such Non-U.S. Lender from duly completing and delivering any documentation with respect to it.

(C) Prior to the closing of the transactions described herein or related hereto, in the case of each Lender that is a signatory hereto, and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender (and from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent), each Lender that is a United States person as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the Code and that is not an “exempt recipient” (as defined in Treasury Regulations section 1.6049-4(c)) with respect to which no backup withholding is required shall deliver to Borrower and Agent two validly completed originals of Form W-9 or any successor form, certifying that such Person is exempt from United States backup withholding tax on payments made hereunder with respect to the LIBOR Rate Loans.

(D) Unless Borrower has received, prior to making any payment with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan to or for a Lender, forms or other documents satisfactory to it indicating that payments with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, Borrower shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. For any period with respect to which any Lender has failed to provide Borrower or Agent with the appropriate form, certificate or document described in subclause 4(b)(vi)(B) or subclause 4(b)(vi)(C) above, such Lender shall not be entitled to the payment of increased amounts or indemnification under subclause 4(b)(vi)(A) above for any Taxes imposed by reason of such failure.

(E) If, any part of any Tax paid by Agent or any Lender pursuant to subclause 4(b)(vi)(A) above is subsequently recovered by Agent or such Lender, such party shall reimburse Borrower to the extent of the amount so recovered. A certificate of an officer of Agent or any Lender setting forth the amount of such recovery and the basis therefor shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(vii) Each request for LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in an amount not less than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000), and in integral multiples of, Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000).

(viii) Unless otherwise specified by Borrower, all Revolving Loans shall be Prime Rate Loans.

(ix) No more than four (4) Interest Periods may be in effect with respect to outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans at any one time.

(c) Fees And Charges.

(i) Unused Line Fee: Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, an unused line fee of three-eighths of one percent (0.375%) per annum of the difference between the Maximum Revolving Loan Limit in effect at such time and the sum of (x) the average daily balance of the Revolving Loans plus (y) the Letter of Credit Obligations for each month, which fee shall be fully earned by Lenders and payable monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each month for the month or portion thereof. Said fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year.

(ii) Agent’s Fees: Borrower shall pay to Agent, for its own account, the fees set forth in the fee letter of even date herewith executed by Borrower in favor of Agent.

(iii) Costs and Expenses: Borrower shall reimburse Agent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, legal expenses and attorneys’ fees (whether for internal or outside counsel), incurred by Agent in connection with the (i) documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by or related to this Agreement and the Other Agreements, including, without limitation, Uniform Commercial Code and other public record searches and filings, overnight courier or other express or messenger delivery, appraisal costs, surveys, title insurance and environmental audit or review costs; (ii) collection, protection or enforcement of any rights in or to the Collateral; (iii) collection of any Liabilities; and (iv) administration and enforcement of any of Agent’s and/or any Lender’s rights under this Agreement or any Other Agreement (including, without limitation, any costs and expense of any third party provider engaged by Agent for such purposes). Borrower shall also pay all normal service charges with respect to all accounts maintained by Borrower with any Lender and LaSalle and any additional services requested by Borrower from any Lender and LaSalle. All such costs, expenses and charges shall, if owed to LaSalle, be reimbursed by Agent and Lenders and in such event, or in the event such costs and expenses are owed to Agent or a Lender, shall constitute Liabilities hereunder, shall be payable by Borrower to Agent on demand, and until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then applicable to Revolving Loans hereunder. Agent shall provide invoices for such fees, costs, expenses and charges of Persons other than Agent or Lenders to Borrower promptly after receipt thereof from such Persons. In addition, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall reimburse each Lender for all documented out-of-pocket costs and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, legal expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees (whether for internal or outside counsel), incurred by such Lender in connection with the (i) collection, protection or enforcement of any rights in or to the Collateral; (ii) collection of any Liabilities; and (iii) administration and enforcement of any of Lenders’ rights under this Agreement.

(iv) Capital Adequacy Charge. If Agent or any Lender shall have determined that the adoption after the date hereof of any law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change after the date hereof therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Agent or such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or governmental authority enacted after the date hereof, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such party’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Agent or such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such party’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by a material amount, then from time to time, after submission by Agent to Borrower of a written demand therefor (“Capital Adequacy Demand”) together with the certificate described below, Borrower shall pay to such party such additional amount or amounts (“Capital Adequacy Charge”) as will compensate such party for such reduction, such Capital Adequacy Demand to be made with reasonable promptness following such determination. A certificate of Agent or such Lender claiming entitlement to payment as set forth above shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Such certificate shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the nature of the occurrence giving rise to such reduction, the amount of the Capital Adequacy Charge to be paid to Agent or such Lender, and the method by which such amount was determined. In determining such amount, the applicable party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution method, applied on a non-discriminatory basis.

(d) Maximum Interest.

It is the intent of the parties that the rate of interest and other charges to Borrower under this Agreement and the Other Agreements shall be lawful; therefore, if for any reason the interest or other charges payable under this Agreement are found by a court of competent jurisdiction, in a final determination, to exceed the limit which Agent or any Lender may lawfully charge Borrower, then the obligation to pay interest and other charges shall automatically be reduced to such limit and, if any amount in excess of such limit shall have been paid, then such amount shall be refunded to Borrower.

(e) Interest Under First Restated Loan Agreement.

Borrower, Lenders and Agent hereby agree that any and all accrued and unpaid interest on the First Restated Revolving Loans shall remain Liabilities of the Borrower hereunder, and shall be due and payable by Borrower, for the benefit of the Lenders, in the same matter as interest becomes due and payable hereunder.

(f) Fees, Charges and Expenses Under First Restated Loan Agreement.

Borrower, Lenders and Agent hereby agree that any and all accrued and unpaid fees, charges and expenses owing to Agent or any Lender under the First Restated Loan Agreement or any “Other Agreement” (as such term is defined in the First Restated Loan Agreement) shall be deemed to be accrued fees, charges and expenses hereunder, shall remain Liabilities of the Borrower hereunder, and shall be due and payable by Borrower, for the benefit of the Lenders, in the same manner as comparable fees, charges and expenses are due and payable hereunder.

5. COLLATERAL.

(a) Grant of Security Interest to Agent.

As security for the payment of all Revolving Loans now or in the future made by Agent and Lenders to Borrower hereunder and for the payment or other satisfaction of all other Liabilities, Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, a continuing security interest in the following property of Borrower, whether now or hereafter owned, existing, acquired or arising and wherever now or hereafter located: (a) all Accounts (whether or not Eligible Accounts); (b) all Chattel Paper, Instruments, Documents and General Intangibles (including, without limitation, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, trade names, trade secrets, goodwill, copyrights, copyright applications, registrations, licenses, software, franchises, customer lists, tax refund claims, claims against carriers and shippers, guarantee claims, contract rights, payment intangibles, security interests, security deposits and rights to indemnification); (c) all Inventory; (d) all Goods (other than Inventory), including, without limitation, Equipment, vehicles and Fixtures and all Goods whose sale, lease or other disposition by Borrower has given rise to Accounts and have been returned to, or repossessed or stopped in transit by, Borrower; (e) all Investment Property; (f) all Deposit Accounts, bank accounts, deposits and cash; (g) all Letter-of-Credit Rights; (h) Commercial Tort Claims listed on Exhibit C hereto, (i) any other property of Borrower now or hereafter in the possession, custody or control of Agent or any Lender or any agent or any parent, affiliate or subsidiary of Agent or any Lender or any participant with any Lender in the Revolving Loans, for any purpose (whether for safekeeping, deposit, collection, custody, pledge, transmission or otherwise) and (j) all additions and accessions to, substitutions for, and replacements, products and Proceeds of the foregoing property, including, without limitation, proceeds of all insurance policies insuring the foregoing property, and all of Borrower’s books and records relating to any of the foregoing and to Borrower’s business; provided that this Agreement shall not create a security interest in or lien upon, and the term “Collateral” shall not include, (a) any General Intangible or other right arising under any contract, Instrument, Document, license or other document to the extent that the grant of a security interest would result in a breach of the terms of, or constitute a default under, such General Intangible, contract, Instrument, Document, license or other document (other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered ineffective pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-407 or 9-408 or any successor provision of the Uniform Commercial Code of the relevant jurisdiction or any other applicable law) and (b) tangible personal property subject to a Permitted Lien described in clause (iv) or (viii) of such definition to the extent the granting of a security interest in or lien thereon is prohibited by the terms of the indebtedness secured thereby.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Other Agreement to the contrary, (a) neither this Agreement nor any Other Agreement shall operate as a sale, transfer, conveyance or other assignment to Agent or any Lender of any applications by an Obligor for a trademark based on an intent to use the same if and so long as such application is pending and has not been the subject of a statement of use or amendment to allege use (such pending applications which are based on intent to use being hereinafter referred to collectively as “Intent-To-Use Applications”), but rather, if and so long as such Obligor’s Intent-To-Use Application is pending, this Agreement and any applicable Other Agreement shall operate only to create a security interest for collateral purposes in favor of Agent for the benefit of Lenders, on such Intent-To-Use Applications as collateral security for the Liabilities and (b) the lien and security interest of this Agreement or any Other Agreement on any Collateral sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be automatically released. Agent shall (and is hereby authorized by each Lender to), at Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver such instruments (including Uniform Commercial Code termination statements), and take such other actions, as Borrower may from time to time reasonably request to confirm or evidence such release made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) Other Security.

Agent, in its sole discretion, without waiving or releasing any obligation, liability or duty of Borrower under this Agreement or the Other Agreements or any Event of Default, may at any time or times hereafter, but shall not be obligated to, pay, acquire or accept an assignment of any security interest, lien, encumbrance or claim asserted by any Person in, upon or against the Collateral. All sums paid by Agent in respect thereof and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, fees and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees of inside or outside counsel, all court costs and all other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket charges relating thereto incurred by Agent shall constitute Liabilities, payable by Borrower to Agent on demand and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then applicable to Revolving Loans hereunder. Agent shall provide invoices for such fees, costs, expenses and charges of Persons other than Agent or Lenders to Borrower promptly after receipt thereof from such Persons.

(c) Possessory Collateral.

Immediately upon Borrower’s receipt of any portion of the Collateral evidenced by (i) any Investment Property consisting of certificated securities, (ii) an Instrument with an outstanding principal amount in excess of $250,000 or (iii) any Document, including without limitation, any Tangible Chattel Paper, involving or with respect to assets having a value in excess of $250,000, Borrower shall deliver the original thereof to Agent together with an appropriate endorsement or other specific evidence of lien thereof to Agent (in form and substance acceptable to Agent); provided that if either Excess Availability is less than $1,500,000 or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Agent a schedule of all items of Collateral evidenced by an Instrument or any Document, without regard to the outstanding principal amount or the value of the assets, as applicable, in connection therewith, and, if requested by Agent in its sole discretion determined in good faith, deliver an original any of such Collateral to Agent together with an appropriate endorsement or other specific evidence of lien thereof to Agent (in form and substance acceptable to Agent). If an endorsement or evidence of lien of any such items shall not be made for any reason, Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized, as Borrower’s attorney and agent-in-fact, to endorse or assign the same on Borrower’s behalf.

(d) Electronic Chattel Paper.

To the extent that Borrower obtains or maintains any Electronic Chattel Paper, Borrower shall create, store and assign the record or records comprising the Electronic Chattel Paper in such a manner that (i) a single authoritative copy of the record or records exists which is unique, identifiable and except as otherwise provided in clauses (iv), (v) and (vi) below, unalterable, (ii) the authoritative copy identifies Agent as the assignee of the record or records, (iii) the authoritative copy is communicated to and maintained by the Agent or its designated custodian, (iv) copies or revisions that add or change an identified assignee of the authoritative copy can only be made with the participation of Agent, (v) each copy of the authoritative copy and any copy of a copy is readily identifiable as a copy that is not the authoritative copy and (vi) any revision of the authoritative copy is readily identifiable as an authorized or unauthorized revision.

6. PRESERVATION OF COLLATERAL AND PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTERESTS THEREIN.

Borrower shall, at Agent’s request, at any time and from time to time, authenticate, execute and deliver to Agent such financing statements (including, without limitation, one or more financing statements indicating that such financing statements cover all assets or all personal property (or words of similar effect) of Borrower and regardless of whether any particular asset described in such financing statements falls within the scope of the Uniform Commercial Code or the granting clause of this Agreement), documents and other agreements and instruments (and pay the cost of filing or recording the same in all public offices deemed necessary or desirable by Agent) and do such other acts and things or cause third parties to do such other acts and things as Agent may deem necessary or desirable in its sole discretion determined in good faith in order to establish and maintain a valid, attached and perfected security interest in the Collateral in favor of Agent (free and clear of all other liens, claims, encumbrances and rights of third parties whatsoever, whether voluntarily or involuntarily created, except Permitted Liens) to secure payment of the Liabilities, and in order to facilitate the collection of the Collateral. Borrower irrevocably hereby makes, constitutes and appoints Agent (and all Persons designated by Agent for that purpose) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney and agent-in-fact to execute and file such financing statements, documents and other agreements and instruments and do such other acts and things as may be necessary to preserve and perfect Agent’s security interest in the Collateral. Borrower hereby authorizes the filing of any financing statements or continuation statements, and amendments to financing statements, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted to the Agent in connection herewith. Such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described in this Agreement or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the collateral granted to the Agent in connection herewith, including, without limitation, describing such property as “all assets whether now owned or hereafter acquired” or “all personal property whether now owned or hereafter acquired”. Borrower further ratifies and confirms the prior filing by Agent of any and all financing statements which identify the Borrower as debtor, Agent as secured party and any or all Collateral as collateral.

7. Intentionally Omitted.

8. COLLECTIONS.

(a) Borrower shall direct all of its Account Debtors to make all payments on the Accounts directly to a post office box (the “Lock Box”) designated by, and under the exclusive control of, Agent, at a financial institution acceptable to Agent. Borrower shall establish an account (the "Lock Box Account”) in Agent’s name with a financial institution acceptable to Agent, into which all payments received in the Lock Box shall be deposited, and into which Borrower will, within one Business Day of receipt thereof, deposit all payments received by Borrower on Accounts in the identical form in which such payments were received, whether by cash or check. If Borrower or Subsidiary, any officer, director, employee or agent of Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any other Person acting for or in concert with Borrower shall receive any monies, checks, notes, drafts or other payments relating to or as Proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral, Borrower and each such Person shall receive all such items in trust for, and as the sole and exclusive property of, Agent and, within one Business Day of receipt thereof, shall remit the same (or cause the same to be remitted) in kind to the Lock Box Account. The financial institution with which the Lock Box Account is established shall acknowledge and agree, in a manner satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion determined in good faith, that the amounts on deposit in such Lock Box and Lock Box Account are the sole and exclusive property of Agent, that such financial institution will follow the instructions of Agent with respect to disposition of funds in the Lock Box and Lock Box Account without further consent from Borrower, that such financial institution has no right to setoff (other than with respect to items deposited therein that are returned or otherwise not collected and for customary charges, fees, commissions and expenses and other agreed upon exceptions) against the Lock Box or Lock Box Account or against any other account maintained by such financial institution into which the contents of the Lock Box or Lock Box Account are transferred, and that such financial institution shall wire, or otherwise transfer in immediately available funds to Agent in a manner satisfactory to Agent, funds deposited in the Lock Box Account on a daily basis as such funds are collected. Borrower agrees that all payments made to such Lock Box Account or otherwise received by Agent, whether in respect of the Accounts or as Proceeds of other Collateral or otherwise, will be applied on account of the Liabilities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred, payments received by Agent shall not be applied to the unmatured portion of the LIBOR Rate Loans or to any other Liabilities that are not due and payable (other than the principal balance of Prime Rate Loans), but shall be held in a cash collateral account maintained by Agent, until the earlier of (i) the last Business Day of the Interest Period applicable to any such LIBOR Rate Loan which Borrower has not elected to continue as a LIBOR Rate Loan or the due date of such other Liability and then the immediately available funds in such cash collateral account shall be applied to reduce such LIBOR Rate loan and such other Liabilities and (ii) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default; provided further, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the immediately available funds in such cash collateral account shall be disbursed, at Borrower’s discretion, to Borrower so long as after giving effect to such disbursement, the Revolving Loan Limit at such time, equals or exceeds the outstanding Revolving Loans at such time. Borrower agrees to pay all fees, costs and expenses in connection with opening and maintaining the Lock Box and Lock Box Account. All of such fees, costs and expenses if not paid by Borrower when due, may be paid by Agent and in such event all amounts paid by Agent shall constitute Liabilities hereunder, shall be payable to Agent by Borrower upon demand, and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then applicable to Revolving Loans hereunder. All checks, drafts, instruments and other items of payment or Proceeds of Collateral shall be endorsed by Borrower to Agent, and, if that endorsement of any such item shall not be made for any reason, Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse the same on Borrower’s behalf. For the purpose of this section, Borrower irrevocably hereby makes, constitutes and appoints Agent (and all Persons designated by Agent for that purpose) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney and agent-in-fact (i) to endorse Borrower’s name upon said items of payment and/or Proceeds of Collateral and upon any Chattel Paper, Document, Instrument, invoice or similar document or agreement relating to any Account of Borrower or Goods pertaining thereto; (ii) to take control in any manner of any item of payment or Proceeds thereof and (iii) to have access to any lock box or postal box into which any of Borrower’s mail is deposited, and open and process all mail addressed to Borrower and deposited therein.

(b) Agent may, at any time and from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whether before or after notification to any Account Debtor and whether before or after the maturity of any of the Liabilities, (i) enforce collection of any of Borrower’s Accounts or other amounts owed to Borrower by suit or otherwise; (ii) exercise all of Borrower’s rights and remedies with respect to proceedings brought to collect any Accounts or other amounts owed to Borrower; (iii) surrender, release or exchange all or any part of any Accounts or other amounts owed to Borrower, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder; (iv) sell or assign any Account of Borrower or other amount owed to Borrower upon such terms, for such amount and at such time or times as Agent deems advisable; (v) prepare, file and sign Borrower’s name on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or other similar document against any Account Debtor or other Person obligated to Borrower; and (vi) do all other acts and things which are necessary, in Agent’s sole discretion, to fulfill Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement and the Other Agreements and to allow Agent to collect the Accounts or other amounts owed to Borrower. In addition to any other provision hereof, Agent may at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at Borrower’s expense, notify any parties obligated on any of the Accounts to make payment directly to Agent of any amounts due or to become due thereunder.

(c) For purposes of calculating interest and fees, Agent shall, (i) within two (2) Business Days after receipt by Agent at its office in Chicago, Illinois of checks and (ii) within one (1) Business Day after receipt by Agent at its office in Chicago, Illinois of cash or other immediately available funds from collections of items of payment and Proceeds of any Collateral, apply the whole or any part of such collections or Proceeds against the Liabilities in accordance with and subject to subsection 8(a). For purposes of determining the amount of Revolving Loans available for borrowing purposes, checks and cash or other immediately available funds from collections of items of payment and Proceeds of any Collateral shall be applied in whole or in part against the Liabilities, in such order as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion determined in good faith, on the day of receipt, subject to actual collection.

(d) On a monthly basis, Agent shall deliver to Borrower an account statement showing all Revolving Loans, charges and payments, which shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrower unless Borrower notifies Agent in writing, specifying any error therein, within thirty (30) days of the date such account statement is sent to Borrower and any such notice shall only constitute an objection to the items specifically identified.

Borrower shall:

(i) Keep the Collateral insured against loss or damage by such risks as are customarily insured against by Persons engaged in businesses similar to that of Borrower, with such companies, in such amounts, with such self-insurance retentions or deductibles, and under policies in such form, as shall be satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion determined in good faith. Original (or certified) copies of such policies of insurance in effect on the date hereof have been or shall be, within ninety (90) days of the date hereof, delivered to Agent, together with evidence of payment of all premiums therefor, and shall contain an endorsement, in form and substance acceptable to Agent, showing loss under such insurance policies payable to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders. Such endorsement, or an independent instrument furnished to Agent, shall provide that the insurance company shall give Agent at least thirty (30) days written notice before any such policy of insurance is altered or canceled and that no act, whether willful or negligent, or default of Borrower or any other Person shall affect the right of Agent to recover under such policy of insurance in case of loss or damage. In addition, Borrower shall cause to be executed and delivered to Agent an assignment of proceeds of its business interruption insurance policies. Borrower hereby directs all insurers under all policies of insurance to pay all proceeds payable thereunder directly to Agent. Borrower irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by Agent) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact) for the purpose of making, settling and adjusting claims under such policies of insurance, endorsing the name of Borrower on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and making all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of insurance.

(ii) Maintain, at its expense, such public liability and third party property damage insurance as is customary for Persons engaged in businesses similar to that of Borrower with such companies and in such amounts, with such self-insurance retentions or deductibles and under policies in such form as shall be satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion determined in good faith and original (or certified) copies of such policies in effect on the date hereof have been or shall be, within ninety (90) days after the date hereof, delivered to Agent, together with evidence of payment of all premiums therefor; each such policy shall contain an endorsement showing Agent and Lenders as additional insureds thereunder and providing that the insurance company shall give Agent at least thirty (30) days written notice before any such policy shall be altered or canceled.

If Borrower at any time or times hereafter shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required above or to pay any premium relating thereto, then Agent, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default by Borrower hereunder, may (but shall be under no obligation to) obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premiums and take such other actions with respect thereto as Agent deems advisable. Such insurance, if obtained by Agent, may, but need not, protect Borrower’s interests or pay any claim made by or against Borrower with respect to the Collateral. Such insurance may be more expensive than the cost of insurance Borrower may be able to obtain on its own and may be cancelled only upon Borrower providing evidence that it has obtained the insurance as required above. All documented out-of-pocket sums disbursed by Agent in connection with any such actions, including, without limitation, documented out-of-pocket court costs, expenses, other charges relating thereto and reasonable attorneys’ fees (whether for internal or outside counsel), shall be payable on demand by Borrower to Agent and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then applicable to Revolving Loans hereunder.

All proceeds of the Revolving Loans received by Borrower and issuances of Letters of Credit hereunder shall be used solely for (i) refinancing existing indebtedness, (ii) for general corporate or business purposes of Borrower (including the Restructuring) and (iii) Investments by Borrower in Subsidiaries to the extent permitted by Section 13(f).

(h) Taxes.

Borrower shall file all federal tax returns and all material state or local tax returns and pay all taxes evidenced by such returns when due, and shall cause any liens for such taxes to be promptly released; provided, that Borrower shall have the right to contest the payment of such taxes and imposition of such liens in good faith by appropriate proceedings so long as (i) the amount so contested is shown on Borrower’s financial statements; (ii) if required by Agent, a reserve in accordance with subsection 2(a) is established by Agent against Borrower’s ability to borrow Revolving Loans under subsection 2(a) in an amount of money which, in the sole judgment of Agent, is sufficient to pay such taxes and any interest or penalties that may accrue thereon; and (iii) if Borrower fails to prosecute such contest with reasonable diligence, Agent may apply the money so deposited in payment of such taxes. If Borrower fails to pay any such taxes and in the absence of any such contest by Borrower, Agent may (but shall be under no obligation to) advance and pay any sums required to pay any such taxes and/or to secure the release of any lien therefor, and any sums so advanced by Agent shall be payable by Borrower to Agent on demand, and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then applicable to Revolving Loans hereunder.

(i) Intellectual Property.

Borrower shall, in its reasonable business judgment, maintain adequate licenses, patents, patent applications, copyrights, service marks, trademarks, trademark applications, tradestyles and trade names to continue its business as heretofore conducted by it or as hereafter conducted by it.

(e) Agent shall have received (i) projected monthly cash flows of Borrower through December 31, 2007, and (ii) projections of covenant compliance through December 31, 2010, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent; and

On a weekly basis (or more frequently if requested by Agent) (a “Settlement Date”), Agent shall provide each Lender with a statement of the outstanding balance of the Liabilities as of the end of the Business Day immediately preceding the Settlement Date (the “Pre-Settlement Determination Date”) and the current balance of the Revolving Loans funded by each Lender (whether made directly by such Lender to Borrower or constituting a settlement by such Lender of a previous Disproportionate Advance made by Agent on behalf of such Lender to Borrower). If such statement discloses that such Lender’s current balance of the Revolving Loans as of the Pre-Settlement Determination Date exceeds such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Liabilities outstanding as of the Pre-Settlement Determination Date, then Agent shall, on the Settlement Date, transfer, by wire transfer, the net amount due to such Lender in accordance with such Lender’s instructions, and if such statement discloses that such Lender’s current balance of the Revolving Loans as of the Pre-Settlement Determination Date is less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Liabilities outstanding as of the Pre-Settlement Determination Date, then such Lender shall, on the Settlement Date, transfer, by wire transfer the net amount due to Agent in accordance with Agent’s instructions. In addition, payments actually received by Agent with respect to the following items shall be distributed by Agent to Lenders as follows:

(i) Each Lender hereby designates LaSalle as Agent to act as herein specified. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the Other Agreements and the notes and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or the Other Agreements a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement or the Other Agreements, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or the Other Agreements except as expressly set forth herein.

(c) Lack of Reliance on Agent.

(i) Independently and without reliance upon Agent, each Lender, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (A) its own independent investigation of the financial or other condition and affairs of Agent, each Obligor and any other Lender in connection with the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (B) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Agent, each Obligor and any other Lender, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Revolving Loans or at any time or times thereafter.

(ii) Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or the Other Agreements or any notes or the financial or other condition of any Obligor. Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or the Other Agreements, or the financial condition of any Obligor, or the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default.

(d) Certain Rights of Agent.

Agent shall have the right to request instructions from Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, by notice to each Lender. If Agent shall request instructions from Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, with respect to any act or action (including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable.

(e) Reliance by Agent.

Agent shall be under no duty to examine, inquire into, or pass upon the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any of the Other Agreements or any instrument, document or communication furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order, electronic mail or other documentary, teletransmission or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person. Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Obligor with respect to matters concerning any Obligor), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

(f) Indemnification of Agent.

To the extent Agent is not promptly reimbursed and indemnified by Borrower, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify Agent, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its duties hereunder, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Agent may call for additional indemnities and cease to do, or not commence, the acts to be indemnified against, even if so directed by Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, until such additional indemnification is provided. The obligations of Lenders under this subsection 19(f) shall survive the payment in full of the Liabilities and the termination of this Agreement.

(g) Agent in its Individual Capacity.

With respect to the Revolving Loans made by it pursuant hereto, Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender or holder of a note or participation interest and may exercise the same as though it was not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lenders,” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity. Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisor or other business with Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders, to the extent such activities are not in contravention of the terms of this Agreement.

(h) Holders of Notes.

Agent may deem and treat the payee of any promissory note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any promissory note, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such promissory note or of any promissory note or notes issued in exchange therefor.

(i) Successor Agent.

(i) Agent may, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to Lenders and Borrower, resign at any time (effective upon the appointment of a successor Agent pursuant to the provisions of this subsection 19(i)) by giving written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, Requisite Lenders with, so long as no Event of Default exists, the consent of Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall have the right, upon five (5) days’ notice, to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by Requisite Lenders and accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then, upon five (5) days’ notice, the retiring Agent may with, so long as no Event of Default exists, the consent of Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a bank or a trust company or other financial institution which maintains an office in the United States, or a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof, or any affiliate of such bank or trust company or other financial institution which is engaged in the banking business, having a combined capital and surplus of at least Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($50,000,000.00).

(ii) Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 19 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement.

(j) Collateral Matters.

(i) Each Lender authorizes and directs Agent to enter into the Other Agreements for the benefit of Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Other Agreements, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders. Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Other Agreements which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Agreements.

(ii) Agent will not, without the verbal consent of all Lenders, which consent shall (a) be confirmed promptly thereafter in writing and (b) not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, execute any release of Agent’s security interest in any Collateral except for releases relating to dispositions of Collateral (x) permitted by this Agreement and (y) in connection with the repayment in full of all of the Liabilities by Borrower and the termination of all obligations of Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the Other Agreements; provided, that with the consent of Requisite Lenders, Agent may release its liens on Collateral having a book value not greater than ten percent (10%) of the total book value of all Collateral, as determined by Agent, either in a single transaction or series of related transactions, not to exceed twenty percent (20%) of the book value of all Collateral in any Fiscal Year. Agent shall not be required to execute any such release on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such liens without recourse or warranty. In the event of any sale or transfer of any of the Collateral, Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by Agent from the proceeds of any such sale or transfer.

(iii) Lenders hereby agree that the lien granted to Agent in any property sold or disposed of in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be automatically released; provided, however that Agent’s lien shall attach to and continue for the benefit of Agent and Lenders in the proceeds and products of such property arising from any such sale or disposition.

(iv) To the extent, pursuant to the provisions of this subsection 19(j), Agent’s execution of a release is required to release its lien upon any sale and transfer of Collateral which is consented to in writing by Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, and upon at least five (5) business days’ prior written request by Borrower, Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the liens granted to Agent for the benefit of Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred.

(v) Agent shall not have any obligation whatsoever to Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower or any other Obligor or is cared for, protected or insured or that the liens granted to Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Section 19 or in any of the Other Agreements, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of Lenders and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(vi) In the event that any Lender receives any Proceeds of any Collateral by setoff, exercise of any banker’s lien or otherwise, in an amount in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Proceeds, such Lender shall purchase for cash (and other Lenders shall sell) interests in each of such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Liabilities as would be necessary to cause all Lenders to share the amount so set off or otherwise received with each other Lender in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. No Lender shall exercise any right of set off or banker’s lien without the prior written consent of Agent.

(k) Actions with Respect to Defaults.

In addition to Agent’s right to take actions on its own accord as permitted under this Agreement, Agent shall take such action with respect to an Event of Default as shall be directed by Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, under this Agreement; provided, that until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable and in the best interests of Lenders. No Lender shall have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce this Agreement or any Other Agreement or to realize upon any Collateral, unless instructed to do so by Agent.

(l) Delivery of Information.

Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by Agent from Borrower or any other Obligor, Requisite Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any Other Agreement except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any Other Agreement and (ii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

(m) Demand.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Agent shall make demand for repayment by Borrower of all Liabilities owing by Borrower hereunder, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the written request of Requisite Lenders. Agent shall make such demand in such manner as it deems appropriate, in its sole discretion, to effectuate the request of the Requisite Lenders. Nothing contained herein shall limit the discretion of Agent to take reserves, to deem certain Accounts ineligible, or to exercise any other discretion granted to Agent in this Agreement.

(n) Notice of Default.

Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or any event which, with passage of time or giving of notice, could become an Event of Default, except with respect to Events of Default arising as a result of Borrower’s failure to pay principal, interest or fees required to be paid to Agent for the benefit of Lenders, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower describing such Event of Default or event which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, could become an Event of Default, and which identifies such event as a “notice of default”. Upon receipt of any such notice or Agent becoming aware of Borrower’s failure to pay principal, interest or fees required to be paid to Agent for the benefit of Lenders, Agent will notify each Lender of such receipt or event.

(o) Intercreditor Agreement.

Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement as a “First Lien Claimholder” as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement as if such Lender were a signatory thereto and hereby authorizes Agent to enter into, execute and perform its obligations under the Intercreditor Agreement.

20. ASSIGNABILITY.

(a) Borrower shall not have the right to assign this Agreement or any interest therein except with the prior written consent of Agent and all Lenders.

(b) Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Revolving Loans at, to or for the account of, any of its branch offices or the office of an affiliate of such Lender except to the extent such transfer would result in increased costs to Borrower (including, without limitation, under Section 4 of this Agreement).

(c) Each Lender may, with the consent of Agent and Borrower (provided, that Borrower’s consent (i) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (ii) shall not be required if an Event of Default exists and (iii) shall not be required for an assignment by a Lender to a Lender or an affiliate of a Lender), but without the consent of any other Lender, assign to one or more banks or other financial institutions all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Other Agreements; provided, that (i) for each such assignment, the parties thereto shall execute and deliver to Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below), an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Assignment and Acceptance”), and a processing and recordation fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($3,500.00) to be paid by the assignee, and (ii) no such assignment shall be for less than Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00). Upon such execution and delivery of the Assignment and Acceptance to Agent and Agent’s recording of such assignment in the Register, from and after the date specified as the effective date in the Assignment and Acceptance, (x) 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, such assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than any rights it may have prior to such assignment pursuant to Section 23 of this Agreement which will survive) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of this Section 20(c) shall be null and void.

(d) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder confirms and agrees as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement and the Other Agreements or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any of the Other Agreements, (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or any other Obligor or the performance or observance by Borrower or any other Obligor of its obligations under this Agreement and the Other Agreements, (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and the Other Agreements, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 9 of this Agreement and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(e) Agent shall, maintain at its address referred to in Section 24 of the Agreement a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Revolving Loan Commitment of, and principal amount of the Revolving Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrower, Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register and copies of each Assignment and Acceptance shall be available for inspection by Borrower, Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Revolving Loans and any promissory notes evidencing Revolving Loans are registered obligations and the right, title and interest of any Lender and/or its assignees in and to such Revolving Loans or promissory notes, as applicable, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register. This Section 20(e) shall be construed so that the Revolving Loans and any promissory notes evidencing Revolving Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations.

(f) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender, Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto, and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 20, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to Borrower. Within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent in exchange for the surrendered promissory note or notes, a new promissory note or notes to the order of the assignee in amounts equal to such assignee’s Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans hereunder and, if the assigning Lender has retained a portion of the Revolving Loans or its Revolving Loan Commitment, a new promissory note or notes to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the remaining Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans hereunder of such assigning Lender under the terms of this Agreement. Such new promissory note or notes shall re-evidence the indebtedness outstanding under the old promissory note or notes and shall be in the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered promissory note or notes, shall be dated of even date herewith and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the promissory note or notes subject to such assignment.

(g) Each Lender may sell participations (without the consent of Agent, Borrower or any other Lender) to one or more parties, in or to all (or a portion) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving Loan Commitment or the Revolving 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, (iii) Borrower, Agent, 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 or any Other Agreement, (iv) such Lender shall not transfer, grant, assign or sell any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment or waiver of this Agreement or any Other Agreement and (v) any such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payments under this Agreement or any Other Agreement than such Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights participated.

(h) Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of Borrower and Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or other Liabilities under the securities laws of the United States of America or of any jurisdiction.

(i) In connection with the efforts of any Lender to assign its rights or obligations or to participate interests, such Lender may disclose any information in its possession regarding Borrower, provided that any assignee or participant or any potential assignee or participant agrees to follow and be bound by the confidentiality requirements set forth in Section 28 hereof.

21. AMENDMENTS, ETC.

No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any of the Other Agreements to which Borrower, Agent or any Lender is a party, nor consent to any departure by any Obligor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Borrower and Requisite Lenders, or if Lenders shall not be parties thereto, by the parties thereto and consented to by Requisite Lenders, and each such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all Lenders, do any of the following: (i) increase the Revolving Loan Commitments of Lenders or subject Lenders to any additional obligations to extend credit to Borrower, (ii) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Revolving Loans (other than as expressly permitted herein) or any fees hereunder, (iii) postpone any date fixed for any payment in respect of principal of, or interest on, the Loan or any fees hereunder, (iv) change the Pro Rata Shares of Lenders, or any minimum requirement necessary for Lenders or Requisite Lenders to take any action hereunder, (v) amend or waive this Section 21, or change the definition of Requisite Lenders, or (vi) except in connection with the financing, refinancing, sale or other disposition of any asset of Borrower permitted under this Agreement (or to the extent Requisite Lender approval only is required with any such release pursuant to subsection 19(j) hereof), release or subordinate any liens in favor of Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, on any of the Collateral and provided further, that no amendment, waiver or consent affecting the rights or duties of Agent under this Agreement or any Other Agreement shall in any event be effective, unless in writing and signed by Agent in addition to Lenders required hereinabove to take such action. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, for purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to this Agreement and the Other Agreements, a Defaulting Lender shall not be considered a Lender and such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment shall each be deemed to be $0 until such Defaulting Lender makes the payments required in this Agreement.

In the event that any consent, waiver or amendment requiring the agreement of all Lenders as set forth above is agreed to by the Requisite Lenders, but not all Lenders, Agent may, in its sole discretion, cause any non-consenting Lender to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Other Agreements to one or more new Lenders or existing Lenders in the manner and according to the terms set forth in Section 20 of this Agreement; provided, that (i) no Lender may be required to assign its rights and obligations to a new Lender because such lender is unwilling to increase its own loan commitments, (ii) such new Lender must be willing to consent to the proposed amendment, waiver or consent and (iii) in connection with such assignment the new Lender pays the assigning Lender an amount equal to the Liabilities owing to such assigning Lender, including all principal, accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid fees to the date of assignment. Such assignment shall occur within thirty (30) days of notice by Agent to such non-consenting Lender of Agent’s intent to cause such non-consenting Lender to assign its interests hereunder.

22. NONLIABILITY OF AGENT AND LENDERS.

The relationship between Borrower, on the one hand, and Agent and Lenders on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to Borrower. Neither Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to Borrower to review or inform Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of Borrower’s business or operations.

23. INDEMNIFICATION.

Borrower agrees to defend (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Agent), protect, indemnify and hold harmless Agent and each Lender, each affiliate or subsidiary of Agent and each Lender, and each of their respective shareholders, members, officers, directors, managers, employees, attorneys and agents (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature (including, without limitation, the disbursements and the reasonable fees of counsel for each Indemnified Party in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not the Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, any Indemnified Party (whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or local laws or regulations, including, without limitation, securities laws and regulations, Environmental Laws and commercial laws and regulations, under common law or in equity, or based on contract or otherwise) in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Other Agreement, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, the making or issuance and the management of the Revolving Loans or any Letters of Credit or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Revolving Loans or any Letters of Credit; provided, however, that (i) the provisions of this Section 23 shall not apply with respect to taxes (which shall be governed by Section 4(b) hereof) and (ii) Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party with respect to matters caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Borrower shall satisfy such undertaking to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, cost or expense covered by this indemnity shall be paid to each Indemnified Party on demand, and, failing prompt payment, shall, together with interest thereon at the highest rate then applicable to Revolving Loans hereunder from the date incurred by each Indemnified Party until paid by Borrower, be added to the Liabilities of Borrower and be secured by the Collateral. The provisions of this Section 23 shall survive the satisfaction and payment of the other Liabilities and the termination of this Agreement. Agent shall provide invoices for such fees, costs, expenses and charges of Persons other than Agent or Lenders to Borrower promptly after receipt thereof from such Persons.
