2.1                               Revolving Loans.

2.1.1                     Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and in reliance upon the joint and several representations, warranties and covenants of the Borrowers made herein, each of the Banks severally agrees to make loans (the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrowers at the Borrowers’ request from time to time, from and after the date hereof and prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date in such amounts as requested by the Borrowers up to a maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding (after giving effect to all amounts requested) at any one time equal to such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, that the maximum aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans outstanding at any time (after giving effect to all amounts requested) plus the outstanding L/C Obligations and the outstanding Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of the Banks or the Revolving Loan Maximum Amount; and provided,

18

further, that at the time the Borrowers request a Revolving Loan and after giving effect to the making thereof, there is not continuing any Event of Default or any event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default.  The Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Bank’s Commitment Percentage.  If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all Loans then outstanding plus the outstanding L/C Obligations and the outstanding Swing Line Loans exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitments, then the Borrowers shall, upon demand by the Agent, pledge, assign and transfer to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Banks, cash collateral in the amount of such excess or repay the amount of such excess by prepaying Loans then outstanding.  Any such prepayments of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be accompanied by any amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.5.6.  Failure to pledge, assign and transfer such collateral or make such payment within two (2) days after demand therefor shall be an Event of Default hereunder.

2.1.2                     All requests for Revolving Loans shall be in such form and shall be made in such manner as is consistent with the Agent’s customary practices.  The Revolving Loans shall be evidenced by separate Revolving Credit Notes of the Borrowers to each Bank substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 attached hereto (collectively, the “Notes”), with appropriate insertions.  Revolving Loans shall be requested in a minimum amount of $100,000.00 and integral multiples of $50,000.00.

2.1.3                     Each Bank and the Agent shall, and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrowers to, enter on the schedule forming a part of the respective Notes or otherwise in its records appropriate notations evidencing the date and the amount of each Loan and Letter of Credit and, as applicable, the interest rate applicable thereto and the date and amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrowers with respect thereto; and in the absence of manifest error, such notations shall constitute conclusive evidence thereof.  Each Bank and the Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrowers to attach to and make a part of the Notes a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.  No failure on the part of any Bank or the Agent to make any endorsement of a notation as provided in this Section 2.1.3 shall in any way affect any Loan, or the rights or obligations of the Agent, the Banks or the Borrowers with respect thereto.

2.2                               Loan Account.  The Agent shall enter Revolving Loans as debits in the Loan Account.  The Agent shall also record in the Loan Account all payments made by the Borrowers on account of Revolving Loans, and may also record therein, in accordance with customary accounting practices, other debits and credits, including customary banking charges and all interest, fees, charges and expenses chargeable to the Borrowers under this Agreement.  The debit balance of the Loan Account shall reflect the amount of the Borrowers’ Obligations to the Banks and the Agent from time to time by reason of Revolving Loans and other appropriate charges permitted hereunder.  Periodically, the Agent shall render a statement of account showing as of its date the debit balance of the Loan Account which, unless within thirty (30) days of the Borrowers’ receipt of such statement notice to the contrary is received by the Agent from the Borrowers, shall be

19

considered prima facie evidence that it is correct and accepted by Borrowers in the absence of manifest error.

2.3                               Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitment.  The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent to reduce by $500,000 or an integral multiple thereof or terminate entirely the unborrowed portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment, whereupon the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Banks shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages of the amount specified in such notice, or, as the case may be, terminated.  Promptly after receiving any notice of the Borrowers delivered pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Agent will notify the Banks of the substance thereof.  Upon the effective date of any such reduction or termination, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable account of each Bank, the full amount of any commitment fee then accrued pursuant to Section 2.5.2 hereof on the amount of the reduction.  If the Borrowers reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, any commitment fee payable thereafter under Section 2.5.2 hereof shall be payable with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment as so reduced or terminated.  No reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment may be reinstated.

2.4                               Payment.

2.4.1                     Prepayment.

(i)                                     Prime Rate Loans and LIBOR Advantage Loans may be prepaid from time to time in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, provided that interest accrued on the amounts so prepaid to the date of such payment and all (if any) outstanding fees and charges in respect thereof must be paid at the time of any such prepayment.  Amounts so paid and other amounts may be borrowed and reborrowed from time to time as provided in Section 2.1 hereof.

(ii)                                  LIBOR Rate Loans may be prepaid upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.  For LIBOR Rate Loans in connection with which the Borrowers have or may incur Hedging Obligations, additional obligations may be associated with prepayment, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Hedging Contracts.  The Borrowers shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at least four (4) Business Days notice of any proposed prepayment of any LIBOR Rate Loans, specifying the proposed date of payment of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and the principal amount to be paid.  Each partial prepayment of the principal amount of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000.00 and accompanied by the payment of all charges outstanding on such LIBOR Rate Loans (including the LIBOR Breakage Fee) and of all accrued interest on the principal repaid to the date of payment.

2.4.2                     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers jointly and severally promise to pay on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, all outstanding Revolving Loans

20

and the Notes, together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon and all fees and other amounts due hereunder.  In the case of any partial prepayment of the Notes, the total amount of such partial prepayment shall be allocable between or among the Notes pro rata in accordance with the Commitment Percentage of each Bank.

2.4.3                     The Revolving Loan Maturity Date may be extended for one or more additional one-year periods as follows:

(i)                                     not sooner than ninety (90) and not later than forty-five (45) days prior to each anniversary of the date of this Agreement, the Borrowers may, by written notice to the Agent, request a one-year extension of the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, and the Agent shall forthwith inform each Bank of such request;

(ii)                                  each Bank shall thereafter have thirty (30) days after notice from the Agent regarding the Borrowers’ request to extend the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, to notify the Agent whether it will consent to the Borrowers’ request, and the Agent shall forthwith inform the Borrowers of each Bank’s decision;

(iii)                               if the Agent notifies the Borrowers that any Bank has elected not to consent to the Borrowers’ request or has failed to respond within such thirty (30) day period (such Bank a “Non-Consenting Bank”), then the Borrowers shall have the right to recommend to the Agent, within five (5) days after notice from the Agent, a replacement for the Non-Consenting Bank with another bank acceptable to the Agent and the remaining Bank(s);

(iv)                              if the Non-Consenting Bank is not replaced, or if all of the Banks have elected not to consent to the Borrowers’ request, or if the replacement bank is not acceptable to the remaining Bank(s), in each case prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, then the Agreement shall be terminated on the then current Revolving Loan Maturity Date;

(v)                                 if the Non-Consenting Bank is so replaced or if all of the Banks have consented to the Borrowers’ request, then the Revolving Loan Maturity Date shall be extended for an additional one-year period; and

(vi)                              it is acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that upon any request for an extension of the Revolving Loan Maturity Date made by the Borrowers after the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement, the Banks shall have the right to review the interest rates and fees applicable to the Loans and require a modification thereof as a precondition to approving the requested extension of the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

21

principal (not at the time overdue) of each Revolving Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Prime Rate Margin in effect from time to time.  Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, the unpaid balance of the Revolving Loans shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by law, at the annual rate of interest equal to three percent (3%) above the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Prime Rate Margin in effect on the first Business Day following the occurrence of such Event of Default (the “Default Rate”), which interest shall be compounded monthly and payable on demand.  Any change in the Prime Rate shall result in a change on the same day in the rate of interest to accrue from and after such day on the unpaid balance of principal of the Revolving Loans.  Except as provided in the second sentence of this Section 2.5.1, interest on Revolving Loans shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of the next succeeding month, commencing on the first such date following the date hereof, with the final payment at maturity of the Revolving Loan.

Fee Margin, the Funded Debt Ratio will be tested quarterly based on the financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(ii) hereof (and pursuant to Section 5.1(i) hereof in the case of the Borrowers’ fiscal year-end).  For purposes of determining the interest rate for any Rate Period hereunder, any interest rate change shall be effective five (5) days after the date on which the financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 5.1(i) or 5.1(ii), as applicable, are delivered to the Agent and the Banks, together with a notice to the Agent (which shall be verified by the Agent) specifying any change in the Applicable Prime Rate Margin, the Applicable LIBOR Margin and the Applicable Commitment Fee Margin, and if the Borrowers have failed to deliver the financial statements required to be delivered by them pursuant to Sections 5.1(i) or 5.1(ii), as applicable, the Applicable Prime Rate Margin, the Applicable LIBOR Margin, the Applicable Commitment Fee Margin and the Applicable L/C Fee Margin shall automatically be increased to 0.50%, 2.250%, 0.375% and 2.250%, respectively, until five (5) days after such financial statements are delivered.

(ii)                                  By delivering a borrowing request to the Agent on or before 12:00 p.m., Boston time, on a Business Day, the Borrowers may from time to time irrevocably request that a LIBOR Advantage Rate Loan be made on the date of such request in a minimum amount of $100,000.00 and integral multiples of $50,000.00.  The Borrower agrees that each request submitted to the Agent requesting a LIBOR Advantage Loan shall be accompanied by a written notice of

(iii)                               Except as otherwise provided herein, each day during an LA Interest Period if there are amounts outstanding under a LIBOR Advantage Loan, interest shall accrue on such outstanding amount based on a rate per annum equal to the sum of the LIBOR Advantage Rate for such day plus the Applicable LIBOR Margin.  Unpaid interest accrued during an LA Interest Period shall be due and payable on each LA Interest Payment Date and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.  Interest shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, including the first date of the applicable period to, but not including, the date of repayment.

(iv)                              By delivering a conversion notice to the Agent on or before 10:00 a.m., Boston time, on a Business Day, the Borrowers may from time to time irrevocably elect, on not less than two nor more than five Business Days’ notice, that all, or any portion, in an aggregate minimum amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $50,000, of any LIBOR Advantage Loan be converted on any day into a LIBOR Rate Loan, with a LIBOR Interest Period of one, two, three or six months; provided, however, that no portion of the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Advantage Loans may be converted to LIBOR Rate Loans when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and provided, further, that all accrued interest on the principal amount of any LIBOR Advantage Loan to be converted hereunder shall be paid in full.

(v)                                 The Agent shall send a monthly billing notice to the Borrowers in accordance with its customary practice which also sets forth the applicable LIBOR Advantage Rate.  Each such notice shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers.

2.5.5                     LIBOR Rate Loans.

(i)                                     At the option of the Borrowers, so long as there is not then continuing any Event of Default or any event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, the Borrowers may request LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

(ii)                                  By delivering a borrowing request to the Agent on or before 10:00 a.m., New York time, on a Business Day, the Borrowers may from time to time

24

irrevocably request, on not less than two nor more than five Business Days’ notice, that a LIBOR Rate Loan be made in a minimum amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $50,000, with a LIBOR Interest Period of one, two, three or six month(s).  On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made available to the Borrowers no later than 11:00 a.m. New York time on the first day of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period by deposit to the account of the Borrowers as shall have been specified in its borrowing request.

(iii)                               By delivering a conversion notice to the Agent on or before 10:00 a.m., New York time, on a Business Day, the Borrowers may from time to time irrevocably elect, on not less than two nor more than five Business Days’ notice, that all or any portion of any LIBOR Rate Loan, in an aggregate minimum amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $50,000 be converted on the last day of a LIBOR Interest Period into a LIBOR Rate Loan with a different LIBOR Interest Period; provided, however, that no portion of the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Rate Loan may be converted to, or be continued as, a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and no portion of the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Rate Loan may be converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan of a different duration if such LIBOR Rate Loan relates to any Hedging Obligation.  In the absence of delivery of a conversion notice with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan at least two Business Days before the last day of the then current LIBOR Interest Period with respect thereto, such LIBOR Rate Loan shall, on such last day, automatically continue as a LIBOR Rate Loan with the same LIBOR Interest Period.

(iv)                              Except as otherwise provided herein, interest on the outstanding principal amount of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall accrue during each LIBOR Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such LIBOR Interest Period plus the Applicable LIBOR Margin, and be due and payable on each LIBOR Interest Payment Date and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

(v)                                 LIBOR Rate Loans shall mature and become payable in full on the last day of the LIBOR Interest Period relating to such LIBOR Rate Loan.  Upon maturity, a LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued for an additional LIBOR Interest Period or may be converted to a Prime Rate Loan at the Borrowers’ discretion, provided that if the circumstances set forth in Section 2.5.5(iii) apply, such LIBOR Rate Loan shall automatically be converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan with the same LIBOR Interest Period.

2.5.6                     Upon: (i) any default by the Borrowers in making any borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of any LIBOR Rate Loan following the Borrowers’ delivery of a borrowing request or continuation/conversion notice hereunder or (ii) any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on any day that is not the last day of the relevant LIBOR Interest Period (regardless of the source of such prepayment and whether

25

voluntary, by acceleration or otherwise), the Borrowers shall pay an amount (the “LIBOR Breakage Fee”), as calculated by the Agent, equal to the amount of any losses, expenses and liabilities (including without limitation any loss of margin and anticipated profits) that the Agent and the Banks may sustain as a result of such default or payment.  The Borrowers understand, agree and acknowledge that: (i) no Bank has any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of the LIBOR Rate as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Rate Loan, (ii) the LIBOR Rate may be used merely as a reference in determining such rate, and (iii) the Borrowers have accepted the LIBOR Rate as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating the LIBOR Breakage Fee and other funding losses incurred by the Banks.  The Borrowers further agree to pay the LIBOR Breakage Fee and other funding losses, if any, whether or not the Banks elect to purchase, sell and/or match funds.

2.5.7                     If any Bank shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrowers be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers) that any Change in Law makes it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Bank to make, continue or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan as, or to convert any loan into, a LIBOR Rate Loan of a certain duration, the obligations of such Bank to make, continue, maintain or convert into any such LIBOR Rate Loans shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until such Bank, through the Agent, shall notify the Borrowers that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all LIBOR Rate Loans of such type shall automatically convert into Prime Rate Loans at the end of the then current LIBOR Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion.

2.5.8                     In the event that the Borrowers shall have requested a LIBOR Rate Loan in accordance with Section 2.5.5(ii) or 2.5.5(iii) and the Agent, in its sole discretion, shall have determined that Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant LIBOR Interest Period are not available to the Banks in the London interbank market; or by reason of circumstances affecting any Bank in the London interbank market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate applicable to the relevant LIBOR Interest Period; or the LIBOR Rate no longer adequately and fairly reflects such Bank’s cost of funding loans; upon notice from such Bank to the Borrowers, the obligations of the Agent under Section 2.5.5(ii) and Section 2.5.5(iii) to make or continue any loans as, or to convert any loans into, LIBOR Rate Loans of such duration shall forthwith be suspended until such Bank, through the Agent, shall notify the Borrowers that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

2.5.9                     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if at any time, whether as a result of any Change in Law, subsequent transactions by the Borrowers, changes in the ratio of Indebtedness of the Borrowers to Tangible Net Worth or otherwise, the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Bank is deemed to be involved in a so-called “highly leveraged transaction” by virtue of its having extended or its maintaining the Loans, then the Agent shall notify the Borrowers thereof.  The Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Bank and the Borrowers shall thereupon commence negotiations in good faith to agree on the extent to which fees, interest rates and/or margins hereunder should be increased so as to

26

reflect the Agent’s, the Issuing Bank’s or such Bank’s involvement in a “highly leveraged transaction.”  If the Borrowers and the Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Bank agree on the amount of such increase or increases, this Agreement shall be promptly amended to give effect to such increase or increases.  If the Borrowers and the Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Bank fail so to agree within thirty (30) days after the date on which the Borrowers receive notice from the Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Bank as provided above, then the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Banks may, at their option, at any time thereafter by notice to the Borrowers, terminate the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Swing Line Commitment, effective not less than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the giving of such notice of termination, and on the effective date of such termination the commitment to make Loans and Swing Line Loans and to issue Letters of Credit hereunder shall terminate and the Notes and the Swing Line Note shall become due and payable in full and the outstanding Letters of Credit shall terminate.

2.5.10              The Borrowers authorize the Agent and each Bank to charge to the Loan Account or, without double-charging, to any deposit account which the Borrowers may maintain with the Agent or such Bank, the interest, fees, charges, taxes and expenses provided for in this Agreement or any other document executed or delivered in connection herewith.

2.6                               Swing Line Commitment.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Citizens (in such capacity, the “Swing Line Lender”) agrees to make available to the Borrowers a portion of the credit otherwise available to the Borrowers hereunder from time to time prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date by making swing line loans (“Swing Line Loans”) to the Borrowers, jointly and severally, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any one time outstanding the Swing Line Commitment; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swing Line Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swing Line Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swing Line Lender’s other outstanding Loans hereunder, may exceed the Swing Line Commitment then in effect) and (b) the Borrowers shall not request, and the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make, any Swing Line Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swing Line Loan, the aggregate amount of the Loans, L/C Obligations and the Swing Line Loans exceed the Revolving Loan Maximum Amount.  Prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, the Borrowers may use the Swing Line Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.  Swing Line Loans shall bear interest solely by reference to the LIBOR Advantage Rate.  The Borrowers may use the proceeds of Revolving Loans from time to time to repay any outstanding Swing Line Loans.  The Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall repay all outstanding Swing Line Loans on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.  On the date of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Swing Line Lender a Swing Line Note to evidence the Swing Line Loans from time to time made by the Swing Line Lender to the Borrowers hereunder.

2.7                               Procedure for Swing Line Borrowing; Interest on Swing Line Loans.  Whenever the Borrowers desire that the Swing Line Lender make Swing Line Loans

27

under Section 2.6 hereof, the Borrowers shall give the Swing Line Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., Boston time, on the proposed borrowing date), specifying (a) the amount to be borrowed and, (b) the requested borrowing date (which shall be a Business Day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date); and not later than 3:00 P.M., Boston time, on the borrowing date specified in the notice in respect of Swing Line Loans, the Swing Line Lender shall make the proceeds of such Swing Line Loan available to the Borrowers on such borrowing date in accordance with the instructions of the Borrowers.  The Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay interest on the unpaid balance of the Swing Line Loans from time to time outstanding at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Advantage Rate.  Interest on the Swing Line Loans shall be payable monthly on the LA Interest Payment Date until all of the Indebtedness of the Borrowers to the Swing Line Lender hereunder shall have been paid in full.

2.8                               Refunded Swing Line Loans; Swing Line Loan Participations.  (a) The Swing Line Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion, but in any event on the last Business Day of each week, may, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably direct the Swing Line Lender to act on their behalf) on one Business Day’s notice given by the Swing Line Lender no later than 12:00 noon, Boston time, request each Bank to make, and each Bank hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan in an amount equal to such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swing Line Lender.  Unless any of the events described in Section 6.1(vi), (vii) or (viii) shall have occurred and be continuing (in which case the procedures of Section 2.8(c) shall apply), each Bank shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Agent at its office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., Boston time, one Business Day after the date of such notice.  The proceeds of such Revolving Loan shall be immediately applied by the Swing Line Lender to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loans.  Effective on the day such Revolving Loans are made, the portion of the Swing Line Loans so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall be outstanding as Revolving Loans and owed to the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages.  The Borrowers irrevocably authorize the Swing Line Lender to charge the Borrowers’ accounts with the Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent amounts received from the Banks are not sufficient to repay all such Refunded Swing Line Loans.

(b)                                 The making of any Swing Line Loan hereunder shall be subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent thereto set forth in Section 4.2.  The Swing Line Lender shall notify the Borrowers of its election not to make Swing Line Loans hereunder as a result of the failure to satisfy such conditions precedent, unless an Event of Default of the type specified in Section 6.1(vi), (vii) or (viii) shall have occurred and be continuing.

(c)                                  If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.1.1 hereof one of the events described in Section 6.1(vi), (vii) or

28

(viii) shall have occurred and be continuing, each Bank shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.8(a) (the “Refunding Date”), purchase an undivided participating interest in an amount equal to (i) its Commitment Percentage times (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding which were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans (the “Swing Line Participation Amount”).  On the Refunding Date, each Bank shall transfer to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, such Banks’ Swing Line Participation Amount, and upon receipt thereof the Swing Line Lender shall deliver to such Bank a Swing Line Loan participation certificate dated the date of the Swing Line Lender’s receipt of such funds in such Swing Line Participation Amount, and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender and such Bank.

(d)                                 Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any Bank such Banks’ Swing Line Participation Amount, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of the Swing Line Loans, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Bank its Swing Line Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Bank’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Bank’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swing Line Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Bank will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swing Line Lender.

(e)                                  Each Bank’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.8(a) and to purchase a participating interest pursuant to Section 2.8(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Bank or the Borrowers may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 4.2; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrowers; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrowers or any other Bank; or (v) any other circumstances, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.9                               Increase in Revolving Loan Maximum Amount.

2.9.1                     Request for Increase.  Provided (i) there exists neither an Event of Default nor any condition which would, with notice or the lapse of time, or both, constitute an Event of Default, (ii) the Borrowers have delivered to the Agent evidence that the increase contemplated by this Section 2.9 has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and (iii) the Borrowers have delivered to the Agent a legal opinion of in-house or special counsel with respect to the due authorization of the increase contemplated by this Section 2.9, then, upon notice to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Banks), the Borrowers may from time to time request an increase in

29

the Revolving Loan Maximum Amount by an amount not exceeding $100,000,000 in the aggregate for all such requests.  At the time of sending such notice, the Borrowers (in consultation with the Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Bank is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Banks).

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

2.9.3                     Notification by Agent; Additional Banks.  The Agent shall notify the Borrowers and each Bank of the Banks’ responses to each request made hereunder.  In the event that the aggregate amount of the increases agreed to by the Banks (including those Banks willing to agree to an increase in their Revolving Credit Commitments in amounts greater than their Commitment Percentages) is less than the amount of increase requested by the Borrowers, then, to achieve the full amount of the requested increase, additional financial institutions approved by the Agent and the Borrowers may become Banks pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and its counsel and by Courier and its counsel on behalf of the Borrowers.

2.9.4                     Effective Date and Allocations.  If the Revolving Loan Maximum Amount is increased in accordance with this Section 2.9, the Agent and the Borrowers shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase.  The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Banks of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

2.9.5                     Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.  As a condition precedent to such increase, each Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate of such Borrower, dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Bank), signed by the chief financial officer or treasurer of such Borrower, (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such entity approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Section 3 of the Agreement, and the representations and warranties in each other Loan Document, are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and (B) neither an Event of Default nor any condition, which would, with notice or the lapse of time, or both, constitute an Event of Default, exists.

30

(i)                                     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Issuing Bank agrees (a) (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the applicable Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for the account of any of the Borrowers under this Agreement (each, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.10.1(ii)(b) below, and (2) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit; and (b) the Banks severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit; provided, that the Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit if, as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension and after giving effect to such request, (w) the outstanding Revolving Loans plus the outstanding Swing Line Loans and the outstanding L/C Obligations relating to Letters of Credit would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment; (x) the outstanding Revolving Loans of any Bank plus such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of the outstanding L/C Obligations relating to Letters of Credit exceeds such Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment, or (y) the outstanding L/C Obligations relating to Letters of Credit would exceed the applicable Letter of Credit Sublimit.

(ii)                                  The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(a)                                 any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date hereof, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the date hereof and which the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it;

31

(d)                                 the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Bank; or

(e)                                  such Letter of Credit is in an initial amount less than $100,000, or is to be used for a purpose other than working capital and general corporate purposes or denominated in a currency other than Dollars.

(iii)                               The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (a) the Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (b) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

2.10.2              Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit.

(i)                                     Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the applicable Borrower delivered to the Issuing Bank in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a responsible officer of such Borrower as set forth below.  Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the Issuing Bank not later than 1:00 p.m. (Boston time), at least two (2) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be.

(a)                                 In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Issuing Bank: (1) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (2) the amount thereof; (3) the expiry date thereof; (4) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (5) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (6) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (7) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may require; and

(b)                                 in the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Issuing Bank (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may require

32

in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s usual and customary practices effective as of the time of such request.

(ii)                                  Upon the Issuing Bank’s determination that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of such Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices.  Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Bank shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Bank a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Bank’s Commitment Percentage times the face amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii)                               If a Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Bank, the Borrowers shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Bank for any such renewal.  Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Issuing Bank shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit to an expiry date not later than the applicable Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to permit the renewal of any Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit at any time if it has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof by reason of the provisions of Section 2.10.1(ii) or otherwise).

(iv)                              Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Bank will also deliver to the applicable Borrower a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

2.10.3              Drawings and Reimbursements of Letters of Credit; Funding and Repayment of Participations.

(i)                                     Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall notify the applicable Borrower and the Agent thereof.  Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the Honor Date, such Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank through

33

the Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the same currency as such drawing.

(ii)                                  If the applicable Borrowers fail to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any drawing under any Letter of Credit (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) on the Honor Date as set forth in Section 2.10.3(i), the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the Honor Date, the Unreimbursed Amount and the amount of such Bank’s Commitment Percentage thereof.  In such event, the applicable Borrowers shall be deemed to have made a request for a LIBOR Rate Loan in Dollars to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount calculated as of the Honor Date, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.5.5 but subject to the Revolving Credit Commitment and the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.  Any notice given by the Issuing Bank or the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.10.3(ii) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing, provided that the lack of such immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(iii)                               Each Bank shall, upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.10.3(ii), make funds available to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at the Agent’s Head Office in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.10.3(iv), each such Bank that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a LIBOR Loan in Dollars to the applicable Borrower, in such amount.  The Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Issuing Bank.

(iv)                              With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Loan because the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Issuing Bank an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.  In such event, each Bank’s payment to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.10.3(iii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Bank in satisfaction of its participation obligations under this Section 2.10.3.

(v)                                 Until each Bank funds its Commitment Percentage of, as the case may be, the Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.10.3 to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the Issuing Bank.

(vi)                              The obligation of each Bank to make a Revolving Loan or L/C Advances to reimburse the Issuing Bank for amounts drawn under Letters of

Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.10.3, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Bank may have against the Issuing Bank, any of the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each such Bank’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10.3 is subject to the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.  No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vii)                           If any Bank fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10.3 by the time specified therein, the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Bank (acting through the Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Prime Rate and a rate determined by the Issuing Bank in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.  A certificate of the Issuing Bank submitted to any Bank (through the Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.10.3(vii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(viii)                        At any time after the Issuing Bank has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Bank such Bank’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with this Section 2.10.3, if the Agent receives for the account of the Issuing Bank any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from a Borrower or otherwise), the Agent will distribute to such Bank its Commitment Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Bank’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Agent.

2.10.4              Letter of Credit Obligations Absolute.

(i)                                     The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the Issuing Bank for each drawing under each Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(a)                                 any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

35

(b)                                 the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrowers may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Bank, the Agent, any of the Banks or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(c)                                  any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such 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; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; or

(d)                                 any payment by the Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws.

(ii)                                  The applicable Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with such Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower will immediately notify the Issuing Bank in connection thereof.  Such Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

2.10.5              Role of Issuing Bank with Letters of Credit.  Each of the Borrowers agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  Each of the Borrowers hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any

36

Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.  None of the Issuing Bank, any of its Affiliates, any of the respective officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact of the Issuing Bank and its Affiliates, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Bank shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 2.10.4(i); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim against the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrowers, as applicable, which the Borrowers prove were caused by the Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the Issuing Bank’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

2.10.6              Cash Collateral for Letters of Credit.  Upon the request of the Agent, if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date or upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the applicable Borrowers shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding L/C Obligations in respect thereto.  Each of the Borrowers hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Banks, a security interest in all such cash and all proceeds of the foregoing.  Cash collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts in the name of the Agent.

2.10.7              Letter of Credit Fees.  Each applicable Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Bank a Letter of Credit fee for each standby Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable L/C Fee Margin for standby Letters of Credit times the daily amount available to be drawn under such standby Letter of Credit.  Such standby Letter of Credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears on the Drawing Amount.  Such standby Letter of Credit fees shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December of each calendar year, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such standby Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand.  Each applicable Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, an amount with respect to each trade Letter of Credit equal to an amount determined by the Issuing Bank based on the Issuing Bank’s fees then in effect for such trade Letter of Credit.

37

2.10.8              Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to Issuing Bank for Letters of Credit.  The applicable Borrowers shall pay to the Issuing Bank the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the Issuing Bank relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect.  Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

2.10.9              Conflict with Letter of Credit Application.  In the event of any conflict between the terms in this Agreement and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms in this Agreement shall control

2.11                        Increased Costs.

2.11.1              Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:

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

(ii)                                  subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)                               impose on any Bank or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans or Swing Line Loans made thereunder or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

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

38

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

2.11.3              Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Bank or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Bank or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Agent), shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrowers shall pay such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after delivery thereof to the Borrowers.

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

2.12                        Taxes.

2.12.1              Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section 2.12, the term “Bank” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

2.12.2              Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding

39

Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrowers shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

2.12.3              Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers.  The Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

2.12.4              Indemnification by the Borrowers.  The Borrower shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 15 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Bank (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.12.5              Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

2.12.6              Status of Banks.  (i) Any Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Bank, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Agent to determine whether or not such Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.12.6(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject

40

such Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank.

(ii)  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

(A)  any Bank that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Bank is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)  any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1)   in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2)   executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3)   in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable; or

(4)   to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or

41

Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)  any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)  if a payment made to a Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Bank agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

2.12.7              Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.12 (including by the payment of any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.12), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.12 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.12.7 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in

42

the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.12.7, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.12.7 the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This Section 2.12.7 shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

2.12.8              Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment and Swing Line Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

2.13                        Mitigation.   If any Bank requests compensation under Section 2.11, or requires the Borrowers to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section 2.12, then such a Bank shall, at the request of the Borrowers, use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11 or this 2.12, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Bank.  The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment

2.14                        Defaulting Lenders.

(a)                                 Defaulting Lender Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Bank is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i)                                     Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Majority Banks.

(ii)                                  Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or

43

otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 7.1 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks, the Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank, the Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions to making the Loans or issuing the Letters of Credit as set forth in this Agreement were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Banks pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.14(a)(iv).  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto.

44

(iii)                               Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive its share of the commitment fees or Letter of Credit fees payable by the Borrower under Sections 2.5.2 and 2.10.7, respectively, for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Lender.

(iv)                              Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate amount of any Non-Defaulting Lender’s Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment.  No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Bank having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v)                                 Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans.  If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.14(a)(vi).

(vi)                              Grant of Security Interest.  The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash collateral as security for any Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations, to be applied pursuant to Section 2.14(a)(vii) below.  If at any time the Agent determines that such cash collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agent and the Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such cash collateral is less than the amount under Section 2.14(a)(v) above, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the Agent, pay or provide to the Agent additional cash collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any cash collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(vii)                           Application.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, cash collateral provided under this Section in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the

45

Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations (including, as to cash collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the cash collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(viii)                        Termination of Requirement.  Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as cash collateral pursuant to this Section following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Bank), or (ii) the determination by the Agent and the Issuing Bank that there exists excess cash collateral; provided that, subject to this Section 2.14, the Person providing cash collateral and the Issuing Bank may agree that cash collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations, and provided further that to the extent that such cash collateral was provided by a Borrower, such cash collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Credit Documents.

(b)                                 Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower, the Agent, the Swing Line Lender and Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Bank is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash collateralization), that Bank will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Banks or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Banks in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.14(a)(iv), whereupon such Bank will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Bank was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c)                                  New Swing Line Loans/Letters of Credit.  So long as any Bank is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

If any Bank requests compensation under Section 2.11, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 2.12 and, in each case, such Bank has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.13, or if any Bank is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Bank, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Bank and the Agent, require such Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.9), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.11 or Section 2.12) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an assignee eligible to become an assignee pursuant to Section 10.9 that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if a Bank accepts such assignment); provided that:

3.5                               Title to Properties; Absence of Liens.  As of the date of this Agreement, each of the Borrowers and its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to all of its

48

respective properties, assets and rights of every name and nature now purported to be owned by it, including, without limitation, the properties, assets and rights reflected in the Year-End Financial Statement, in each case free from all liens, charges and encumbrances whatsoever except for insubstantial defects in title which do not materially detract from the value or impair the use of the affected properties and liens, charges or encumbrances permitted under Section 5.7 hereof, and as of the date of this Agreement its Obligations under the Loan Documents rank at least pari passu as to the right of repayment with all its other Indebtedness for borrowed money except as set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and Exhibit I which is incorporated by reference into Exhibit B.  The rights, properties and other assets presently owned, leased or licensed by any of the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries and described elsewhere in this Agreement include all rights, properties and other assets necessary to permit the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries to conduct their respective businesses in all material respects in the same manner as such businesses are being conducted on the date of this Agreement.

3.7                               Financial Statements.  The Borrowers have furnished to the Agent and the Banks the Consolidated balance sheet and statement of income of the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries as of September 27, 2014 and for the fiscal year then ended certified by the Borrowers’ Accountants (the “Year-End Financial Statement”), which was prepared in accordance with GAAP and fairly presents the financial position of the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries as at the close of business on such date and the results of operations for the fiscal year period then ended, along with Courier’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal quarter ended September 27, 2014 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Borrowers have also furnished to the Agent and the Banks projections of the Borrowers’ and their respective Subsidiaries’ results of operations for the fiscal year ending September 26, 2015, all of which were made in good faith and based on assumptions which the Borrowers believed reasonable when made and continue to be reasonable at the date hereof.  At the date hereof, the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries have no Indebtedness or other liabilities, debts or obligations involving amounts material to the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether accrued, absolute or, to the best knowledge of the Borrowers, contingent, and whether due or to become due, including, but not limited to,

SECTION 8.                            CONCERNING THE AGENT AND THE BANKS.

8.1                               Appointment and Authorization.  Each of the Banks hereby appoints Citizens, acting through its head office, to serve as Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and irrevocably authorizes the Agent to take such action as Agent on such Bank’s behalf under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other documents and instruments executed and delivered in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

74

8.2                               Agent and Affiliates.  Citizens shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as each other Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Agent, and Citizens and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower or Affiliate of any Borrower as if it were not the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.  Except as otherwise provided by the terms of this Agreement, nothing herein shall prohibit any of the Banks from accepting deposits from, lending money to or generally engaging in any kind of business with any Borrower or Affiliate of any Borrower.

8.3                               Future Advances. In order to more conveniently administer the Revolving Loans, Citizens, Key, TD and JPM do hereby authorize the Agent and Citizens to make all Revolving Loans and advances, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to the Borrowers, which are requested by the Borrowers on any Business Day.  Citizens, Key, TD and JPM do hereby further irrevocably agree, whether or not this Agreement has been terminated, an Event of Default has occurred, the Agent has accelerated the Obligations or the Agent is proceeding to liquidate any collateral, to transfer to the Agent on the last Business Day of each week, if not already transferred, sufficient immediately available federal funds to reimburse the Agent for Citizens, Key, TD and JPM’s respective Commitment Percentages of all Revolving Loans and other advances made during such weekly period after taking into account payments received by the Agent; provided, however, that upon the request of the Agent, such reimbursement shall also be required to be made by Citizens, Key, TD and JPM at the end of any fiscal quarter and fiscal year of the Borrowers.  Any payments made by the Agent on behalf of any Borrower shall constitute Revolving Loans or other advances initially made by the Agent at such time as such funds are actually provided, or such payments are made, by the Agent.  All Revolving Loans and other advances made by the Agent on behalf of Citizens, Key, TD and JPM shall be, for purposes of interest income and other charges, considered loans from Citizens, Key, TD and JPM to the Borrowers at such time as the Agent receives from Citizens, Key, TD and JPM funds as provided in this Section 8.3, and prior to such time such Revolving Loans and advances shall be considered, for purposes of interest income and other charges, loans from Citizens.  The Agent may at any time upon notice to Citizens, Key, TD and JPM (i) refuse to make Revolving Loans and advances on behalf of Citizens, Key, TD and JPM unless Citizens, Key, TD and JPM shall have provided to the Agent immediately available federal funds sufficient to cause the outstanding Revolving Loans to equal each of the Banks’ respective Commitment Percentage; (ii) require Citizens, Key, TD and JPM to fund such Revolving Loans and advances before making such Revolving Loans and advances to the Borrower requesting the same; or (iii) require that Citizens, Key, TD and JPM immediately transfer to the Agent on each Business Day immediately available federal funds sufficient to cause the outstanding Revolving Loans to equal each of the Banks’ respective Commitment Percentage.  Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, the obligations to make Revolving Loans and advances under the terms of this Agreement shall be the several and not joint obligation of Citizens, Key, TD and JPM, and any advances made by the Agent on behalf of Citizens, Key, TD and JPM are strictly for the administrative convenience of the

75

parties and shall in no way diminish Citizens, Key, TD and JPM’s liability to the Agent to repay the Agent for such Revolving Loans and advances.

8.4                               Payments.  All payments and prepayments of principal of Revolving Loans received by the Agent shall be paid to each of the Banks pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentage.  All such payments from the Borrowers received by the Agent shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Banks.  As each such payment is received by the Agent, the Agent shall promptly charge or credit each of the Banks to the extent necessary to ensure that as between them, each of the Banks holds its respective Commitment Percentage of outstanding Revolving Loans, based on the then unpaid aggregate principal amounts of the Revolving Loans outstanding.

8.5                               Interest, Fees and Other Payments.  (i) All payments of interest received by the Agent in respect of Revolving Loans, except as otherwise provided by the terms of this Agreement, and all other fees and premiums received by the Agent hereunder or in respect of Revolving Loans shall be shared by the Banks pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages.  (ii) All payments received by the Agent pursuant to Section 10.7 of this Agreement shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse itself, Citizens, Key, TD or JPM as the case may be, on account of the Obligation, tax, charge or expense in respect of which such payment is made.

8.6                               Action by Agent.

(i)                                     The obligations of the Agent hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein.  The Agent shall have no duty to exercise any right or power or remedy hereunder, under any other Loan Document, or under any other document or instrument executed and delivered in connection with or as contemplated by this Agreement or to take any affirmative action hereunder or thereunder.

(ii)                                  The Agent shall keep records of the Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans and payments hereunder, and shall give and receive notices and other communications to be given or received by the Agent hereunder on behalf of the Banks.

(iii)                               Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent shall exercise, if so directed by the Banks, the option of the Banks pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof to declare all Obligations immediately due and payable and take such action as may be necessary or desirable to collect the Obligations and enforce the rights and remedies of the Agent or the Banks with respect to any collateral or otherwise.

(iv)                              Whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred, the Agent may from time to time exercise the rights of the Agent and Banks hereunder, under the other Loan Documents, or under the other documents or instruments executed or delivered in connection with or as contemplated by this Agreement as

76

it reasonably may deem necessary or desirable to protect any collateral and the interests of the Agent and the Banks.

8.7                               Consultation with Experts.  The Agent shall be entitled to retain and consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable to the Banks for any action taken, omitted to be taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.  The Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable to the Banks for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys.

8.8                               Liability of Agent.  The Agent shall exercise the same care to protect the interests of each of the Banks as it does to protect its own interests, so that so long as the Agent exercises such care it shall not be under any liability to any of the Banks, except for the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to anything it may do or refrain from doing.  Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith in its capacity as Agent.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify:  (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any Borrower; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Sections 4.1 or 4.2 hereof, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness, enforceability or genuineness of this Agreement, the Notes, the Swing Line Note, the other Loan Documents or any other document or instrument executed and delivered in connection with or as contemplated by this Agreement.  The Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties.

8.9                               Indemnification.  Each Bank agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent the Agent is not reimbursed by any Borrower), ratably in accordance with its Commitment Percentage, from and against any cost, expense (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability which the Agent may suffer or incur in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any action taken or omitted by the Agent hereunder or thereunder, or the Agent’s relationship with the Borrowers hereunder, including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers and duties hereunder and of taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder.  No payment by any Bank under this Section shall in any way relieve any Borrower of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the amounts so paid by any Bank, and the Banks shall be subrogated to the rights of the Agent, if any, in respect thereto.

8.10                        Independent Credit Decision.  Each of the Banks represents and warrants to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or the other Banks and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 3.7 and such other documents

77

and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own independent credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each of the Banks acknowledges that it has not relied upon any representation by the Agent and that the Agent shall not be responsible for any statements in or omissions from any documents or information concerning the Borrowers, this Agreement, the Notes, the Swing Line Note, the other Loan Documents or any other document or instrument executed and delivered in connection with or as contemplated by this Agreement.  Each of the Banks acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or the other Banks 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.

8.11                        Successor Agent.  Citizens, or any successor Agent, may resign as Agent at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Banks and Courier on behalf of the Borrowers.  Upon any such resignation, the Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent.  If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank (or Affiliate thereof) or savings and loan association organized under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or under the laws of another country which is doing business in the United States of America or any State thereof and having a combined capital, surplus and undivided profits of at least $100,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as 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 all further duties and obligations under this Agreement.  After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

10.3                        No Waivers.  No failure or delay by the Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise provided by law.

10.4                        Further Assurances.  Each Borrower shall do, make, execute and deliver all such additional and further acts, things, assurances, and instruments as the Agent or any Bank may reasonably require more completely to vest in and assure to the Agent and the Banks its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and to carry into effect the provisions and intent of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

10.5                        Governing Law.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to be contracts made under seal and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (without regard to conflicts of laws rules).  Any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Obligation may be instituted in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or of the United States of America for the District of Massachusetts, and the Borrowers hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of each such court in any such action or

79

proceeding; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the Agent’s or any Bank’s rights to bring any legal action or proceeding in any other appropriate jurisdiction.

10.6                        Payments in Immediately Available Funds.  All payments required of the Borrowers hereunder or under the Notes or under the Swing Line Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in federal or other funds immediately available to the recipient thereof at the prescribed place of payment.

10.7                        Expenses and Indemnification for Costs (Other Than Taxes).

(a)                                 Other than with respect to Taxes, the Borrowers shall pay all (i) Intentionally Omitted, (ii) charges and expenses of every kind or description, reasonably incurred or expended by the Agent, the Banks or the Issuing Bank in connection with or in any way related to the Agent’s, the Banks’ or the Issuing Bank’s relationship with the Borrowers, whether hereunder or otherwise including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses and those charges and expenses incurred or expended in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, interpretation or amendment of this Agreement, the Notes, the Swing Line Note, the other Loan Documents and any related agreement, instrument or document, the making of the Loans, and the protection or enforcement of the Agent’s, the Banks’ or the Issuing Bank’s rights hereunder and (iii) fees and expenses reasonably incurred, expended or charged by the Agent, the Banks or the Issuing Bank in connection with any examination of the business, assets or properties of the Borrowers, conducted after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whether or not conducted by employees of the Agents, any Bank or the Issuing Bank.  The Borrowers authorize the Agent, the Banks and the Issuing Bank to charge the Loan Account or any deposit account which the Borrowers may maintain with the Agent, any Bank or the Issuing Bank for any of the foregoing; provided that prior to an Event of Default only principal and interest shall be charged against the deposit accounts of the Borrowers with the Agent, any Bank or the Issuing Bank.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.7 shall not apply to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b)                                 The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, absolutely and unconditionally indemnify and hold the Agent, each Bank and the Issuing Bank harmless against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, causes of action, damages, losses, settlement payments, obligations, costs, expenses and all other liabilities whatsoever which shall at any time or times be incurred or sustained by the Agent, any Bank or the Issuing Bank or by any of their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates or agents (except any of the foregoing incurred or sustained as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent, such Bank or the Issuing Bank) on account of or in relation to any of the arrangements or transactions contemplated by, associated with or ancillary to either this Agreement, or any of the other documents executed or delivered in connection herewith (including, without limitation, those arising as a result of a breach by the Borrowers of any Environmental Laws, whether or not disclosed in Exhibit B attached hereto), whether or not all or any of the

80

transactions contemplated by, associated with or ancillary to this Agreement, or any of such documents, are ultimately consummated.

10.8                        Amendments, Waivers, Etc.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents:  (i) each of the Loan Documents may be modified, amended or supplemented in any respect whatever only with the prior written consent or approval of the Majority Banks and the Borrowers; and (ii) the performance or observance by the Borrowers of any of their covenants, agreements or obligations under any of the Loan Documents may be waived only with the written consent of the Majority Banks; provided, however, that the following changes shall require the written consent, agreement or approval of all of the Banks:  (A) any decrease in the amount or postponement of the due date of any of the Obligations; (B) any decrease in the interest rates or letter of credit fees prescribed in any of the Notes, the Swing Line Note or this Agreement; (C) any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment or Commitment Percentage of any of the Banks, except as permitted by Section 10.10; (D) any change in the definition of Majority Banks; (E) the extension of the expiry date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (except where the Borrowers have Cash Collateralized such Letter Credit or have provided a backing letter of credit in a form and from an issuer acceptable to the Agent and the Issuing Bank); (F) any change in the prohibition on the Borrowers’ ability to assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder; and (G) any change in the terms of this Section 10.8.  Any change to Section 8 or any other provision of this Agreement affecting the rights or obligations of the Agent shall not be amended or modified without the prior written consent of the Agent.  Any change to Section 2.10 or any other provision of this Agreement affecting the rights or obligations of the Issuing Bank shall not be amended or modified without the prior written consent of the Issuing Bank.

Without limitation of the foregoing, it is agreed that any requirement in any Loan Document of the consent or waiver of the Banks shall be deemed to require the consent or waiver of the Majority Banks.

10.9                        Binding Effect of Agreement; Participations; Assignments.

(a)                                 Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Agent, the Banks, the Issuing Bank, all future holders of the Notes and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby.  The Banks may, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.9, sell, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of their respective right, title and interest in, and their respective Obligations under, this Agreement and the Loans and Swing Line Loans made and to be made hereunder, or grant participations in their respective right, title and interest herein and therein.  No Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns and participants permitted hereby, and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby,

81

the Related Parties of each of the Agent and the Banks) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)                                 Participations.  Any Bank may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) each participation must be for an amount equal to at least $5,000,000 of such Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment and Loans, (ii) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (iii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iv) the Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Bank shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 8.9 with respect to any payments made by such Bank to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement which would increase or otherwise change such Revolving Credit Commitment or reduce the principal of or rate of interest on the Loans subject to such participation, or postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal or of interest on any Loans. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.5.6, 2.11 and 2.12 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.13 and 2.15 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (c) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.11 and 2.12, with respect to any participation, than its participating Bank would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  Each Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan

82

Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c)                                  Assignments.  Any Bank may at any time sell or assign to any other Bank or any Affiliate or Approved Fund thereof and to one or more additional banks, insurance companies, financial institutions, investment funds or other entities (an “Assignee”), all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it), subject to the following conditions:

(i)                                     No Bank will assign to any Assignee less than an aggregate amount equal to $5,000,000 of such Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment and Loans;

(ii)                                  Except as otherwise provided herein, any assignment shall require the prior written consent of the Agent and, provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld; provided that the Borrowers shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless they shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided further that no consent of the Agent or Borrower shall be required for any Bank’s pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank as permitted under Section 10.9(f).

(iii)                               Any assignment to an existing Bank, or Affiliate or Approved Fund thereof, shall not require the consent of the Borrowers nor shall any such sale or assignment be subject to the minimum assignment amounts specified herein;

(iv)                              No assignment of any Loans or Revolving Credit Commitment shall be made to (A) any Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Bank hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender or a Subsidiary thereof, or (C) to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).

83

(v)           Upon the effective date of assignment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, (1) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in the assignment agreement between the Assignee and transferor Bank, have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder with a Revolving Credit Commitment as set forth therein, and (2) the transferor Bank thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such assignment agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment agreement covering all or the remaining portion of a transferor Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such transferor Bank shall cease to be a party hereto; provided, however, that such Bank shall continue to be entitled to any rights under Sections 2.11 and 2.12 as well as any indemnification rights hereunder with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment), and provided further that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed to by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.  Any assignment agreement effectuating an assignment in accordance with the terms of this Section shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Assignee and the resulting adjustment of Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Assignee of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Bank under this Agreement and the Notes.  On or prior to the effective date specified in such assignment agreement, the Borrowers, at their own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent in exchange for the Notes delivered to the Agent pursuant to such assignment agreement new Notes to the order of such Bank in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such assignment agreement and, unless the transferor Bank has not retained a Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, new Notes to the transferor Bank in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment retained by it hereunder.  Such new Notes shall be dated as of the Effective Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Notes replaced thereby.

(vi)          Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright

84

payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender and each other Bank hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its pro rata share thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(vii)         The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a copy of each assignment agreement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Bank and the Revolving Credit Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time.  A Loan (and the related Note) recorded on the Register shall only be assigned or sold in whole or in part upon registration of such assignment or sale on the Register.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agent and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank for all purposes of this Agreement.  This Section 10.9(vii) shall be construed so that the Loan (and the related Note) is 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 any related United States Treasury Regulations (and any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or such regulations).  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(viii)        Assignment Fee.   The transferor Bank or its Assignee shall pay an assignment fee of $1,500 to the Agent, solely for the account of the Agent.

(d)           The Borrowers authorize each Bank to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Bank’s possession concerning the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries which has been delivered to such Bank by or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Bank

85

by or on behalf of the Borrowers in connection with such Bank’s credit evaluation of the Borrowers and their Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement, in each case subject to Section 5.16.

(e)           At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 10.9(c) to a Person which is not already a Bank hereunder, the respective Assignee shall provide to the Borrowers and the Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms described in Section 2.12.

(f)            Nothing herein shall prohibit any Bank from pledging or assigning any of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, any right to payment of principal and interest under any Note) to secure obligations of such Bank, including without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.

(g)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Bank may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrowers, the Agent and such Bank.

10.10      Computation of Interest and Fees.  Interest, fees and charges shall be computed daily on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days for which due.  If the due date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law, interest shall be payable for such extended time.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any payment required by this Agreement becomes due on a day on which banks in Boston, Massachusetts are required or permitted by law or an appropriate authority to remain closed, such payment may be made on the next succeeding day on which such banks are open, and such extension shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

10.11      Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including the exhibits hereto) and the other Loan Documents set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations, warranties, whether oral or written, by any officer, employee or representative of any party hereto.

10.12      No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship.  In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrowers acknowledge and agree that:  (i) (A) entering into this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrowers on one hand and the Banks, Agent and Issuing Bank on the other hand, (B) the Borrowers have consulted their own legal,

86

accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrowers are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Banks, Agent and Issuing Bank have not been, are not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for any of the Borrowers and (B) the Banks, Agent and Issuing Bank have no obligation to any Borrower with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Banks, Agent, Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers or their Affiliates, and neither the Banks, Agent, Issuing Bank, nor any of their respective Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrowers or their Affiliates.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrowers hereby waive and release any claims that they may have against the Banks, Agent, Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

10.13      Existing Loan Agreement Amended and Restated.  On the Effective Date, (a) this Agreement shall amend and restate the Existing Loan Agreement in its entirety but, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not constitute a novation of the parties’ rights and obligations thereunder, (b) the “Revolving Credit Commitment” and “Swing Line Commitment” thereunder (as as defined therein) shall automatically continue as the “Revolving Credit Commitment” and “Swing Line Commitment” herein, (c) the rights and obligations of the parties hereto evidenced by the Existing Loan Agreement shall be evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (d) the “Revolving Loans” and “Swing Line Loans” under (and as defined in) the Existing Loan Agreement which are outstanding as of the Effective Date shall remain outstanding and be continued as Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans, as applicable, hereunder, and shall bear interest and be subject to such other fees and terms as set forth in this Agreement, and (e) the “Letters of Credit” under (and as defined in) the Existing Loan Agreement which have been issued but have not expired as of the Effective Date shall be “Letters of Credit” hereunder.  All interest, fees and expenses, if any, owing or accruing under or in respect of the Existing Loan Agreement through the Effective Date shall be calculated as of the Effective Date (pro-rated in the case of any fractional periods), and shall be paid on the Effective Date.
