2.2 Term Loan.

(a) On the date hereof, the Lender agrees to extend to the Company the Term Loan in an aggregate principal amount of $60,000,000.  The Term Loan shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.  The Term Loan made by the Lender shall be evidenced by the Term Note.

(b) Prior to an Event of Default, and except as otherwise provided herein, the Term Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal balance before maturity (whether upon demand, acceleration, default or otherwise) at the rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate. Interest shall be computed daily based on the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 360 days.

(c) The Company shall pay to the Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loan on the first Business Day of each month.  The Lender may debit to the Company’s Loan Account all unpaid and accrued interest on the Term Loan when due without prior notice to or consent of the Company.  The Company shall pay principal outstanding under the Term Note in equal monthly installments of $500,000 each payable commencing on the first Business Day of the month after the funding of the Term Loan and on the first day of each month thereafter.  Amounts paid or prepaid on the Term Loan may not be reborrowed.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all outstanding unpaid principal and accrued interest on the Term Loan shall be due and payable to the Lender on the Termination Date for the Term Loan.

2.3 Interest After Default.  After an Event of Default, each of the Obligations shall bear interest at the rate of three percent (3%) per annum in excess of the applicable rates set forth in this Agreement.  In no event shall the interest rate under the Note exceed the highest rate permitted by law.

2.4 Loan Account.  The Lender will enter as a debit to the Loan Account the aggregate principal amount of each Obligation as disbursed or issued from time to time.  The Lender shall also record in the Loan Account, in accordance with the Lender’s customary accounting practices, all accrued interest and all other charges, expenses and other items properly chargeable to the Company hereunder or under the Related Documents, all payments made by the Company with respect to the Obligations, and all other debits and credits.  Not more frequently than once each month, the Lender shall render a statement of account of the Loan Account (including a statement of the outstanding principal balance of the Loans, accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, accrued fees and expenses and the applicable interest rate for each Loan) which statement shall be considered correct and accepted by the Company and conclusively binding upon the Company absent manifest error, unless the Company notifies the Lender to the contrary within 60 days the Company’s receipt of such statement; provided, however, that the Lender is entitled to adjust the Company’s Loan Account for any manifest errors and Company may notify Lender that any such adjusted statement is not correct and/or is not accepted within 60 days of the Company’s receipt of such adjusted statement.

2.5 Payments.  Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day in good funds, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest on the Notes.  The Lender may debit to the depository accounts maintained by the Company with the Lender all payments on the Obligations when due without prior notice to or consent of the Company.

2.6 Prepayments.

(a) Optional Prepayments.  Subject only to the payment of any amounts required by Sections 2.7 and 2.8 hereof, the Company may, at its option and at any time, prepay the Revolving Loans and the Term Loan in whole or in part without premium or penalty.  Prepayments of the Term Loan shall be applied as directed by the Company, and in the absence of any such designation, shall be applied to principal payments in inverse order of maturity.

(b) Mandatory Prepayment.  At any time that the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans outstanding hereunder exceeds the Revolving Loan Commitment, the Company shall immediately pay the amount of such excess in immediately available funds, together with interest accrued on the amount of such payment.

2.7 General Provisions Applicable to Loans. In the event the Lender shall incur any loss, cost, expense or premium (including, without limitation, any loss of profit or loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired or contracted to be acquired by the Lender to fund or maintain Loans based on the LIBOR Rate or the relending or reinvesting of such deposits or other funds or amounts paid or prepaid to the Lender), as a result of any failure by the Company to create, borrow, repay, continue or effect by conversion any Loans which bear interest by reference to the LIBOR Rate on any date other than the date required by this Agreement or specified in a notice or loan request given by Company pursuant to this Agreement; then upon the demand of the Lender, the Company shall pay to the Lender such amount as will reimburse the Lender for such loss, cost, expense or premium.  If the Lender requests such a reimbursement it shall provide the Company with a certificate setting forth the computation of the loss, cost or expense giving rise to the request for reimbursement in reasonable detail and such certificate shall be deemed prima facie correct.

2.8 Effect of Regulatory Change; LIBOR Unavailable.

(a) If there shall occur any adoption or implementation of, or change to, any Regulation, or interpretation or administration thereof, which shall have the effect of imposing on the Lender (or the Lender’s holding company) any increase or expansion of or any new:  tax (excluding taxes on its overall income and franchise taxes), charge, fee, assessment or deduction of any kind whatsoever, or reserve, capital adequacy, special deposits or similar requirements against credit extended by, assets of, or deposits with or for the account of the Lender or other conditions affecting the extensions of credit under this Agreement; then the Company shall pay to the Lender such additional amount as the Lender deems necessary to compensate the Lender for any increased cost to the Lender attributable to the extension(s) of credit under this Agreement and/or for any reduction in the rate of return on the Lender’s capital and/or the Lender’s revenue attributable to such extension(s) of credit.  The Lender’s determination of the additional amount(s) due under this paragraph shall be binding in the absence of manifest error, and such amount(s) shall be payable within 30 days of demand and, if recurring, as otherwise billed by the Lender.

2.9 No Obligation to Extend or Forbear.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Lender:  (a) upon execution hereof, has no duty or obligation of any kind to, and has made no representations of any kind or nature that the Lender will, extend credit or any other kind of financial accommodations to the Company after the Termination Date, or forbear at any time from the exercise of any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement, the Related Documents and applicable law; and (b) may at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, exercise whatever rights and remedies the Lender may have under this Agreement, the Related Documents and applicable law.  All Obligations shall be due in full on the Termination Date without further notice or demand.

(a) specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 7.1, then, without presentment, notice, demand or action of any kind by the Lender, all of which are hereby waived: (i) the obligations of the Lender to make any further advances to the Company shall automatically and immediately terminate; and (ii) the entire amount of the Obligations shall be automatically accelerated and immediately due and payable;

(b) specified in any clauses of Section 7.1 other than clause (g) or (h), the Lender may, without presentment, notice, demand or action of any kind by the Lender, all of which are hereby waived, (i) immediately terminate its obligation to make any further advances to the Company, and the same shall immediately terminate; and (ii) declare the entire amount of the Obligations immediately accelerated, due and payable;

(c) the Lender may at any time, without prior notice or demand, set off any credit balance or other money now or hereafter owed to the Company or any guarantor against all or any part of the Obligations hereunder; and

(d) the Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies provided to the Lender by this Agreement and the other Related Documents, and all rights and remedies provided by law and in equity, by statute or otherwise, and no remedy herein conferred upon the Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other right and remedy and each right and remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

In addition to and not in lieu of any other right or remedy the Lender might have, the Lender at any time and from time to time at its election may (but shall not be required to) do or perform or comply with or cause to be done or performed or complied with anything which the Company may be required to do, perform or comply with, which after written demand the Company has failed or refused to do, perform or comply with, and the Company shall reimburse the Lender upon demand for any reasonable cost or expense which the Lender may incur in such respect, together with interest thereon at the rate equal to the rate payable under the Revolving Credit Note following an Event of Default from the date of such demand until paid.  No failure or delay on the part of the Lender in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.  No remedy herein conferred upon the Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other right and remedy, and each right and remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.

7.3 Termination of Commitment.  During any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to any right to cure such Event of Default herein or in any of the Related Documents, the Lender shall have no further obligation to make any further Loans or advances to the Company for any reason, but any Loans or advances made by the Lender to the Company in its sole discretion shall become part of the Obligations.

8.1 Assignability; Successors.  The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the permitted successors and assigns of the parties hereto.  The Company’s rights and liabilities under this Agreement and the Related Documents are not assignable in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the Lender.  The Lender may at any time sell, assign, grant participations in or transfer, in whole or in part, to one or more banks or other entities (“Transferees”) interests in any Note held by the Lender or any other interest of the Lender in the Obligations.  Any such Transferee shall be bound by Section 8.2.  Transferees to which a participation is granted (as opposed to a sale, assignment or other transfer) shall not have voting or consent rights under this Agreement and, notwithstanding such participations, the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and the Company shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with this Agreement.  The Company agrees that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default each Transferee shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in the Obligations to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a lender under this Agreement.

8.2 Confidentiality.  The Lender and each Transferee will exercise its best efforts to keep any information delivered or made available by the Company to it in connection with this Agreement confidential from anyone other than Persons employed or retained by the Lender who are or are expected to be involved in this Agreement and the transactions it contemplates and who are instructed to keep such information confidential in accordance with this Section; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the Lender from disclosing such information (i) upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (ii) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction over the Lender, (iii) which has been publicly disclosed, (iv) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation to which the Lender or its Affiliates may be a party, (v) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder, and (vii) to the Lender’s legal counsel, Affiliates and independent auditors who are instructed to keep such information confidential in accordance with this Section. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of any information as provided for in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such information as such Person would accord its own confidential information.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any party to this Agreement (and any employee, representative, or other agent of any party to this Agreement) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure and any facts that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment, which materials and facts shall not include for this purpose the names of the parties or any other Person named herein, or information that would permit identification of the parties or such other Persons, or any pricing terms or other nonpublic business or financial information that is unrelated to such tax treatment or facts; provided, however, the foregoing is not intended to waive the attorney-client privilege or any other privileges, including the tax advisor privilege under Section 7525 of the Code.

8.5 Counterparts; Headings.  This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same agreement.  The descriptive headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.  All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural as the identity of the person or persons may require.

8.6 Entire Agreement; Amendments.  This Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto, and the Related Documents contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all other understandings, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof.  No amendment, modification, alteration, or waiver of the terms of this Agreement or consent required under the terms of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in a writing, which makes specific reference to this Agreement and which has been signed by the party against which enforcement thereof is sought.  Any such amendment, modification, alteration, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

8.13 USA Patriot Act; Office of Foreign Assets Control.  The Lender hereby notifies the Company and each of its Subsidiaries that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company and each of its Subsidiaries, which information includes the name and address of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries and other information that will allow the Lender to identify the Company and each of its Subsidiaries in accordance with the Patriot Act and the Company agrees to provide such information.  In addition, and without limiting the foregoing sentence, the Company shall (a) ensure, and cause each Subsidiary to ensure, that no Person who owns a controlling interest in or otherwise controls the Company or any Subsidiary is or shall be listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List or other similar lists maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), the Department of the Treasury or included in any Executive Orders, (b) not use or permit the use of the proceeds of the Loans to violate any of the foreign asset control regulations of OFAC or any enabling statute or Executive Order relating thereto, and (c) comply, and cause each Subsidiary to comply, with all applicable Bank Secrecy Act laws and regulations, as amended.
