(ii)                                  Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Option:  A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

3.1.2                                           Rate Quotations.  The Borrower may call the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which a Loan Request is to be delivered to receive an indication of the rates then in effect, but it is acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the Administrative Agent or the Lenders nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the election is made.

3.2                                 Interest Periods.  At any time when the Borrower shall select, convert to or renew a LIBOR Rate Option, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such LIBOR Rate Option by delivering a Loan Request.  The notice shall specify an Interest Period during which such Interest Rate Option shall apply.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the following provisions shall apply to any selection of, renewal of, or conversion to a LIBOR Rate Option:

3.2.1                                           Amount of Borrowing Tranche.  Each Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the LIBOR Rate Option shall be in integral multiples of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000; and

3.2.2                                           Renewals.  In the case of the renewal of a LIBOR Rate Option at the end of an Interest Period, the first day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day of the preceding Interest Period, without duplication in payment of interest for such day.

3.3                                 Interest After Default.  To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived:

3.3.1                                           Interest Rate.  The rate of interest for each Loan otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 3.1 [Interest Rate Options] shall be increased by 2.0% per annum;

3.3.2                                           Other Obligations.  Each other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest applicable under

24

the Base Rate Option plus an additional 2.0% per annum from the time such Obligation becomes due and payable and until it is paid in full; and

3.3.3                                           Acknowledgment.  The Borrower acknowledges that the increase in rates referred to in this Section 3.3 reflects, among other things, the fact that such Loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders are entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and all such interest shall be payable by Borrower upon demand by Administrative Agent.

3.4                                 LIBOR Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.

3.4.1                                           Unascertainable.  If on any date on which a LIBOR Rate would otherwise be determined, the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined that:

(i)                                     adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such LIBOR Rate, or

(ii)                                  a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the London interbank eurodollar market relating to the LIBOR Rate, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 3.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].

3.4.2                                           Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.  If at any time any Lender shall have reasonably determined that:

(i)                                     the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan to which a LIBOR Rate Option applies has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law),

(ii)                                  such LIBOR Rate Option will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any such Loan, or

(iii)                               after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars for the relevant Interest Period for a Loan, or to banks generally, to which a LIBOR Rate Option applies, respectively, are not available to such Lender with respect to such Loan, or to banks generally, in the interbank eurodollar market,

then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 3.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].

3.4.3                                           Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights.  In the case of any event specified in Section 3.4.1 [Unascertainable] above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Borrower thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 3.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available] above, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the

25

obligation of (A) the Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the Administrative Agent, or (B) such Lender, in the case of such notice given by such Lender, to allow the Borrower to select, convert to or renew a LIBOR Rate Option shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall have later notified the Borrower, or such Lender shall have later notified the Administrative Agent, of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist.  If at any time the Administrative Agent makes a determination under Section 3.4.1 [Unascertainable] and the Borrower has previously notified the Administrative Agent of its selection of, conversion to or renewal of a LIBOR Rate Option and such Interest Rate Option has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loans.  If any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent of a determination under Section 3.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available], the Borrower shall, subject to the Borrower’s indemnification Obligations under Section 4.9 [Indemnity], as to any Loan of the Lender to which a LIBOR Rate Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either convert such Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan or prepay such Loan in accordance with Section 4.6 [Voluntary Prepayments].  Absent due notice from the Borrower of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan upon such specified date.

3.5                                 Selection of Interest Rate Options.  If the Borrower fails to select a new Interest Period to apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the LIBOR Rate Option at the expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2 [Interest Periods], the Borrower shall be deemed to have converted such Borrowing Tranche to the Base Rate Option commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period.

4.                                       PAYMENTS

4.1                                 Payments.  All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal, interest, Facility Fees, Administrative Agent’s Fee or other fees or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder shall be payable prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue.  Such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of PNC for the ratable accounts of the Lenders with respect to the Loans in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to the Lenders in immediately available funds; provided that in the event payments are received by 11:00 a.m. by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Loans and such payments are not distributed to the Lenders on the same day received by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall pay the Lenders the Federal Funds Effective Rate with respect to the amount of such payments for each day held by the Administrative Agent and not distributed to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s statement of account, ledger or other relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts owing under this Agreement and shall be deemed an “account stated.”

26

4.2                                 Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders.  Each borrowing shall be allocated to each Lender according to its Ratable Share, and each selection of, conversion to or renewal of any Interest Rate Option and each payment or prepayment by the Borrower with respect to principal, interest, Facility Fees or other fees (except for the Administrative Agent’s Fee) or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder to the Lenders with respect to the Loans, shall (except as otherwise may be provided with respect to a Defaulting Lender or a Delinquent Lender and except as provided in Section 3.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights] in the case of an event specified in Section 3.4 [LIBOR Rate Unascertainable; Etc.], 4.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender] or 4.7 [Increased Costs]) be made in proportion to the applicable Loans outstanding from each Lender and, if no such Loans are then outstanding, in proportion to the Ratable Share of each Lender.

4.3                                 Sharing of Payments by Lenders.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff, counterclaim or banker’s lien, by receipt of voluntary payment, by realization upon security, or by any other non-pro rata source, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its Ratable Share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i)                                     if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, together with interest or other amounts, if any, required by Law (including court order) to be paid by the Lender or the holder making such purchase; and

(ii)                                  the provisions of this Section 4.3 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of the Loan Documents or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower (as to which the provisions of this Section 4.3 shall apply).

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

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any Lender that fails at any time to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.3 with respect to purchasing participations from the other Lenders whereby such Lender’s share of any payment received, whether by setoff or otherwise, is in excess of its Ratable Share of such payments due and payable to all of the Lenders, when and to the full extent required by the provisions of this Agreement, shall be deemed delinquent (a “Delinquent Lender”) and shall be

27

deemed a Delinquent Lender until such time as each such delinquency and all of its obligations hereunder are satisfied.  A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower, whether on account of or relating to outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining nondelinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their respective Ratable Share of all outstanding Loans and other unpaid Obligations of the Borrower.  The Delinquent Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to distribute such payments to the nondelinquent Lenders in proportion to their respective Ratable Share of all outstanding Loans and other unpaid Obligations of any of the Loan Parties.  A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of application of the assigned payments to all outstanding Loans and other unpaid Obligations of the Borrower to the nondelinquent Lenders, the Lenders’ respective Ratable Share of all outstanding Loans and unpaid Obligations have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency.

4.4                                 Presumptions by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

4.5                                 Interest Payment Dates.  Interest on Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date.  Interest on Loans to which the LIBOR Rate Option applies shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period for those Loans and, if such Interest Period is longer than three (3) Months, also on the 90th day of such Interest Period.  Interest on the principal amount of each Loan or other monetary Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes due and payable (whether on the stated Expiration Date, upon acceleration or otherwise).

4.6                                 Voluntary Prepayments.

4.6.1                                           Right to Prepay.  The Borrower shall have the right at its option from time to time to prepay the Loans in whole or part without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 4.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender] below, in Section 4.7 [Increased Costs] and Section 4.9 [Indemnity]).  Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Loans, it shall provide a prepayment notice to the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of the Loans setting forth the following information:

(x)                                   the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be made;

28

(y)                                 with respect to any prepayment of any Loans subject to the LIBOR Rate Option, a statement indicating the application of the prepayment between the LIBOR Rate Option tranches; and

(z)                                   the total principal amount of such prepayment, which shall not be less than the lesser of the Revolving Facility Usage or $100,000.

All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable.  The principal amount of the Loans for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such principal amount except with respect to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, shall be due and payable on the date specified in such prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made.  Except as provided in Section 3.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights], if the Borrower prepays a Loan but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche which the Borrower is prepaying, the prepayment shall be applied first to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, then to Loans to which the LIBOR Rate Option applies.  Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrower’s Obligation to indemnify the Lenders under Section 4.9 [Indemnity].

4.6.2                                           Replacement of a Lender.  In the event any Lender (a) gives notice under Section 3.4 [LIBOR Rate Unascertainable, Etc.], (b) requests compensation under Section 4.7 [Increased Costs], or requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.8 [Taxes], (c) is a Defaulting Lender, (d) becomes subject to the control of an Official Body (other than normal and customary supervision), (e) is a Non-Consenting Lender referred to in Section 10.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers or (f) does not fund any Loans because the making of such Loans would contravene any Law applicable to the Lender, then in any such event the Borrower may, at its sole expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.8 [Successors and Assigns]), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(i)                                     the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.8 [Successors and Assigns];

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

(iii)                               in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.7.1 [Increased Costs Generally] or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.8 [Taxes], such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

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

29

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

4.7           Increased Costs.

4.7.1              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 Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate);

(ii)           subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any participation in any Loan under the LIBOR Rate Option made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 4.8 [Taxes] and the imposition of, or any change in the rate or any change in the method of calculating or basis of taxation of payments to such Lender with respect to any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or

(iii)          impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loan under the LIBOR Rate Option made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan under the LIBOR Rate Option (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered, provided that such increased costs shall be determined by the Lender’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate increased cost resulting from such events that is attributable to this Agreement.

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

4.7.3              Certificates for Reimbursement; Repayment of Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of New Loans.  A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in

30

Sections 4.7.1 [Increased Costs Generally] or 4.7.2 [Capital Requirements] and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

4.7.4              Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s 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 (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

4.8           Taxes.

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

4.8.2              Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 4.8.1 [Payments Free of Taxes] above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law.

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

4.8.4              Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Official Body, the Borrower shall

31

deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

4.8.5              Status of Lenders.  Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the Law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  Notwithstanding the submission of such documentation claiming a reduced rate of or exemption from U.S. withholding tax, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States federal income taxes at the full 30% withholding rate if in its reasonable judgment it is required to do so under the due diligence requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under § 1.1441-7(b) of the United States Income Tax Regulations.  Further, the Administrative Agent is indemnified under § 1.1461-1(e) of the United States Income Tax Regulations against any claims and demands of any Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender for the amount of any tax it deducts and withholds in accordance with regulations under § 1441 of the Internal Revenue Code.  In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement and upon a Change in Law or circumstances requiring or making appropriate a new or additional form, certificate or documentation, and upon or before the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any documentation previously provided (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Lender is legally entitled to do so), the following properly completed and duly executed documents that are applicable to such Lender:

(i)            two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,

(ii)           two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8ECI,

(iii)          in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN,

32

(iv)          two (2) duly completed, valid originals of a W-9 or any other form prescribed by applicable Law demonstrating that such Lender is not a Foreign Lender, or

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

4.8.6              Refunds.  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in its sole opinion, determines that it has finally and irrevocably received or been granted a refund in respect of any Taxes paid as to which indemnification has been paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly remit such refund, net of all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses; provided, that the Borrower agrees to promptly return any such refund to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, if such person is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority.  The Administrative Agent or any such Lender shall provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment from the relevant taxing authority (redacting any unrelated confidential information contained therein) requiring repayment of such refund.  Nothing contained herein shall impose an obligation on the Administrative Agent or any Lender to apply for any such refund.

4.9           Indemnity.  In addition to the compensation or payments required by Section 4.7 [Increased Costs]or Section 4.8 [Taxes], except to the extent of a Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against all liabilities, losses or expenses (including loss of margin, any loss or expense incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties and any loss or expense incurred in connection with funds acquired by a Lender to fund or maintain Loans subject to a LIBOR Rate Option) which such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of any:

(i)            payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Loan to which a LIBOR Rate Option applies on a day other than the last day of the corresponding Interest Period (whether or not such payment or prepayment is mandatory, voluntary or automatic and whether or not such payment or prepayment is then due),

(ii)           attempt by the Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any Loan Requests under Section 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests] or Section 3.2 [Interest Periods] or notice relating to prepayments under Section 4.6 [Voluntary Prepayments],

(iii)          the assignment of any Loan to which a LIBOR Rate Option applies other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender], or

(iv)          default by the Borrower in the performance or observance of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any failure of the Borrower to pay when due (by acceleration or otherwise) any principal, interest, Facility Fee or any other amount due hereunder.

33

If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify the Borrower of the amount determined in good faith by such Lender (which determination may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such loss or expense.  Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination.  Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Lender ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

5.             REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

PRICING GRID—
VARIABLE PRICING AND FEES BASED ON RATINGS
(PRICING EXPRESSED IN BASIS POINTS)

If at any time each Rating Agency issues a different rating, then the Applicable Facility Fee Rate and the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the intermediate rating at such time.  If at any time two Rating Agencies issue the same rating, which is different than the other Rating Agency, the rating issued by such other Rating Agency shall be disregarded, and the Applicable Facility Fee Rate and the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the two identical ratings at such time.  If there is no S&P Rating and Fitch Rating, then the Applicable Facility Fee Rate and the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the Moody’s Rating.  If there is no Moody’s Rating and Fitch Rating, then the Applicable Facility Fee Rate and the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the S&P Rating.  If there is no Moody’s Rating and S&P Rating, then the Applicable Facility Fee Rate and the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the Fitch Rating.  If at any time only two Rating Agencies issue a rating and there is a difference of two or more rating levels between such Rating Agencies, then the Applicable Facility Fee Rate and the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the intermediate rating levels at the midpoint between the ratings issued by such Rating Agencies at such time or, if there is no midpoint, based on the higher intermediate level.  If (i) there is no S&P Rating, Moody’s Rating and Fitch Rating or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Applicable Facility Fee Rate and the Applicable Margin shall be the highest rate per annum indicated therefor in the above table.  The S&P Rating, Moody’s Rating and Fitch Rating in effect on any date for purposes of determining the Applicable Facility Fee Rate and the Applicable Margin shall be that S&P Rating, Moody’s Rating and Fitch Rating in effect at the close of business on such date.  Each change in the Applicable Facility Fee Rate and the Applicable Margin resulting from a publicly announced change in the S&P Rating, the Fitch Rating and/or the Moody’s Rating shall be effective during the period commencing on the date of the public announcement thereof and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next change.
