D.                                    Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, (i) the Borrower shall no longer have the option to continue or convert into LIBOR Rate Loans, (ii) each LIBOR Rate Loan shall convert to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period then in effect for such LIBOR Rate Loan, (iii) upon request of the Requisite Lenders, the outstanding principal amounts of all LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest (including post-petition interest in any case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code) at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) plus the rate then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans until the end of the applicable Interest Period and thereafter at a rate equal to two percent (2%) plus the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (iv) upon request of the Requisite Lenders, all outstanding Base Rate Loans and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall bear interest (including post-petition interest in any case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code) at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) plus the rate then applicable to such Base Rate Loans or such other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Potential Event of Default under Section 7.13, (i) the outstanding principal amounts of all LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest (including post-petition interest in any case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code) at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) plus the rate then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans until the end of the applicable Interest Period and thereafter at a rate equal to two percent (2%) plus the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) all outstanding Base Rate Loans and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall bear interest (including post-petition interest in any case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code) at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) plus the rate then applicable to such Base Rate Loans or such other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document.  Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.5D is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Agents or Lenders.

24

E.                                      Computation of Interest.  Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.5A shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, on the basis of a 365 day or 366 day year, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues.  In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a LIBOR Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such LIBOR Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such LIBOR Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

F.                                      Conversion/Continuation.

(i)                                     Subject to Section 2.9 and so long as no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, the Borrower shall have the option:

(a)                                  to convert at any time all or any part of any Borrowing in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000 from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; provided if any LIBOR Rate Loan is converted on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, the Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 2.8 in connection with such conversion; or

(b)                                 upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Borrowing LIBOR Rate Loans, to continue all or any portion of such Borrowing for a new Interest Period in a minimum amount of $5,000,000.

(ii)                                  The Borrower shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to Base Rate Loans) and at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed Conversion/Continuation Date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, LIBOR Rate Loans).  Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, LIBOR Rate Loans (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and the Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.

G.                                    Additional Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans.  The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, so long as and to the extent such Lender shall be required under regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including “Eurocurrency liabilities” (as such term is defined in Regulation D), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Rate Loan of such Lender, from the date of such Loan until such principal amount is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times to the remainder obtained by subtracting (a) the LIBOR rate for the applicable Interest Period for such Loan from (b) the rate obtained by dividing such LIBOR rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the Applicable Reserve Requirement (expressed as a

25

percentage) of such Lender for such Interest Period, payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan.  Such Lender shall as soon as practicable provide notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of any such additional interest arising in connection with such Loan, which notice shall be conclusive and binding, absent demonstrable error.

2.6                               Fees.

(i)                                     Commitment Fee:  The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender, for the period from the Effective Date until the Credit Date, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) on such Lender’s then current unused Commitment, determined by reference to the pricing grid set forth in the definition of Applicable Margin.  The Commitment Fee shall be paid quarterly in arrears and on the Credit Date or the date of the termination of the Commitments to the Administrative Agent at its Funding and Payment Office and upon receipt, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof.  The Commitment Fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

(ii)                                  Lead Arrangers’ Fees.  In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Lead Arrangers and the Agents such other fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in the Fee Letters.

2.7                               Provisions Regarding Payments.

A.                                    Voluntary Prepayments.

(i)                                     Any time and from time to time:

(a)                                  the Borrower may prepay any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part, in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000; and

(b)                                 the Borrower may prepay any Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000.

(b)                                 In the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, two (2) Business Days’ prior to the date of such prepayment;

and, if such notice is given by telephone, such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent will promptly transmit such telephonic or original notice for the Loans by facsimile or telephone to each Lender).  Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein.

26

B.                                    Voluntary Commitment Reductions.

(i)                                     The Borrower may, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent (which original written or telephonic notice the Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by facsimile or telephone to each Lender), at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the unused Commitments; provided any such partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in the amount of $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000.

(ii)                                  The Borrower’ notice to the Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in the Borrower’s notice and shall reduce the Commitment of each Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share thereof.

C.                                    Mandatory Prepayments.

(i)                                     The Borrower shall, on the date and in the amount of the receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries as to which the transfer of funds to the Borrower would not result in adverse tax consequences of Net Cash Proceeds from (a) the incurrence or issuance of debt (including pursuant to a public offering, a private placement or a syndicated bank financing (other than borrowings under the Borrower’s Credit Agreement dated as of December 16, 2005 with the lenders parties thereto and CNAI, as administrative agent, that not used directly or indirectly to finance the Mayne Pharma Acquisition) or (b) the issuance of equity or equity-linked transactions in the capital markets, repay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(ii)                                  If the Term Loans have been, or substantially contemporaneously with the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds as described in this paragraph (ii) will be, repaid or prepaid in full, the Borrower shall, on the date and in the amount of the receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale (other than the Net Cash Proceeds of the Divestiture in an amount not to exceed $12,000,000 and other than to the extent that (x) the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale are less than $1,000,000 for any single transaction or series of related transactions or (y) the Net Cash Proceeds of all Asset Sales after the date hereof are less than $30,000,000 in the aggregate), repay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds that are not used by the Borrower to prepay the Term Loans (rounded downward to the nearest $5,000,000 increment, with such rounded amount applied in accordance with the proviso to this Section 2.7.C.(ii)); provided, that, if the Borrower has previously made a mandatory prepayment of Loans in accordance with this Section 2.7.C.(ii), no further mandatory prepayment shall be required until the amount of Net Cash Proceeds of the nature described above again exceed $5,000,000.

27

D.                                    Application of Prepayments/Reductions.  Unless otherwise specified by the Borrower in a notice of prepayment,

(a) any amount to be applied pursuant to Section 2.7A or C shall be applied to prepay Loans to the full extent thereof.

(b) considering each Type of Loan being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to LIBOR Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.9C.

E.                                      General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(i)                                     Manner and Time of Payment.  All payments by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, set-off or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at the Funding and Payment Office for the account of the Lenders; funds received by the Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by the Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day.

(ii)                                  Payments on Business Days.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.5B with respect to Interest Periods, whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder.

(iii)                               Application of Payments to Principal and Interest.  All payments in respect of the principal amount of the Loans shall include payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments shall be applied to the payment of interest before application to principal.

(iv)                              Distribution to Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by Administrative Agent.

(v)                                 Withdrawal of Notice.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Conversion/Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any LIBOR Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.

(vi)                              Authorization to Charge Accounts.  The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent in order to cause timely payment to be made to the Administrative Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose).

28

(vii)                           Non-Conforming Payments.  The Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) to be a non-conforming payment.  Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day.  The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to the Borrower and each Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming.  Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 7.1.  Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to Section 2.5D from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

2.8                               Increased Costs; Taxes.

A.                                    Compensation for Increased Costs and Taxes.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.8B (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law):

(i)                                     subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than any Tax on the overall net income of such Lender) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder;

(ii)                                  imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of LIBOR); or

(iii)                               imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such

29

Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder.  Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for, and a calculation in reasonable detail of, the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.8A, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

B.                                    Withholding of Taxes.

(i)                                     Payments to Be Free and Clear.  All sums payable by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax (other than a Tax on the overall net income of any Lender) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United States of America or any political subdivision in or of the United States of America or any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of the Borrower or by any federation or organization of which the United States of America or any such jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment.

(ii)                                  Grossing-up of Payments.  If the Borrower or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax from any sum paid or payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents:

(a)                                  the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as the Borrower becomes aware of it;

(b)                                 the Borrower shall pay any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on the Borrower) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Lender;

(c)                                  the sum payable by the Borrower in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date and retains a net sum equal to what it would have received and retained had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and

(d)                                 within thirty (30) days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty (30) days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (b) above to pay, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the other affected parties

30

of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority.

(iii)                               Evidence of Exemption from U.S. Withholding Tax.

(a)                                  Each Lender that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for transmission to the Borrower, on or prior to the Effective Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Effective Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Borrower or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (x) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code or reasonably requested by the Borrower to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents.

(b)                                 Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to Section 2.8B(iii)(a) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly (1) deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to the Borrower two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or a Certificate re Non-Bank Status and two (2) original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by the Borrower to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents or (2) notify Administrative Agent and the Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.

(c)                                  The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Non-US Lender under clause (c) of Section 2.8B(ii) if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the requirements of clause (a) or (b)(1) of this Section 2.8B(iii); provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of Section 2.8B(iii)(a) on the Effective Date or on the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender, as applicable, nothing in this Section 2.8B(iii)(c) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant to clause (c) of Section 2.8B(ii) in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as described herein.

31

(iv)                              If a payment is made by the Borrower under the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.8(B) for the account of any Lender and such Lender, in its sole opinion, determines that it has irrevocably received or been granted a credit against, or relief or remission from, or repayment or refund of, any tax paid or payable by it in respect of or calculated with reference to the deduction or withholding giving rise to such additional payment, such Lender shall, to the extent that it determines that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit, relief, remission or repayment, pay to the Borrower such amount as such Lender shall, in its sole opinion, have determined is attributable to such deduction or withholding and will leave such Lender (after such payment) in no worse position than it would have been had the Borrower not been required to make such deduction or withholding.  Nothing contained herein shall (i) interfere with the right of a Lender to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit, (ii) oblige any Lender to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or (iii) require any Lender to take or refrain from taking any action that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other credit, relief, remission, repayment or refund to which it may be entitled.

C.                                    Capital Adequacy Adjustment.  In the event that any Lender shall have determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability after the Effective Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein after the Effective Date or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency issued after the Effective Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or Commitment, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction.  Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for, and calculation in reasonable detail of, the additional amounts owed to the Lender under this Section 2.8C, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

2.9                               Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Rate Loans.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans as to the matters covered:

A.                                    Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate.  In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank

32

LIBOR market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR Rate, the Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, LIBOR Rate Loans until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by the Borrower with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by the Borrower.

B.                                    Illegality or Impracticability of LIBOR Rate Loans.  In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its LIBOR Rate Loans (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful) or (ii) has become impracticable, or would cause such Lender material hardship, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and adversely affect the interbank LIBOR market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender).  Thereafter (a) such LIBOR Rate Loan shall be Converted into a Base Rate Loan and (b) the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans or to Convert Loans into LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

C.                                    Compensation For Breakage.  The Borrower shall compensate each Lender upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts and a calculation thereof in reasonable detail) for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its LIBOR Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds, but excluding lost profits) which that Lender may sustain:  (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a LIBOR Rate Loan is not made on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any LIBOR Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation, (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its LIBOR Rate Loans occurs on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan or (iii) if any prepayment of any LIBOR Rate Loan made by such Lender is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower.

33

D.                                    Booking of LIBOR Rate Loans.  Any Lender may make, carry or transfer LIBOR Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of that Lender.

E.                                      Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Rate Loans.  Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.9 and under Section 2.8A shall be made as though that Lender had actually funded each of its relevant LIBOR Rate Loans through the purchase of a LIBOR deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of LIBOR in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such LIBOR deposit from an offshore office of that Lender to a domestic office of that Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.9 and under Section 2.8A and 2.8C.

2.10                        Defaulting Lenders.

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender defaults (a “Defaulting Lender”) in its obligation to fund (a “Funding Default”) its Loan (a “Defaulted Loan”), then (a) during the Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents; (b) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, until such time as the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (i) any voluntary prepayment of the Loans shall, if the Borrower so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Loan outstanding, and (ii) any mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall, if the Borrower so directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Loans of such Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting Lender had funded the Defaulted Loan of such Defaulting Lender, it being understood and agreed that the Borrower shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment of the Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this clause (b); and (c) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded the Defaulted Loan of such Defaulting Lender.  No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.10, performance by the Borrower of its Obligations shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of this Section 2.10.  The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.10 are in addition to other rights and remedies which the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and which the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default.

2.11                        Removal or Replacement of a Lender.

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender shall give notice to the Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.8 or 2.9, if the circumstances which have caused

34

such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five (5) Business Days after receipt by such Lender of a written request for such withdrawal from the Borrower; then, with respect to each such Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), the Borrower may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loan in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.1 for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan assigned and accrued interest thereon through the date of assignment, to be paid by the Replacement Lender; provided that concurrently with such assignment, the Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender to the date of such assignment pursuant to Sections 2.8 or 2.9 or otherwise as if it were a prepayment.  Upon the completion of such assignment and the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided that any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender.

2.12                        Mitigation.

A.                                    Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering the Loan of such Lender becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.8 or 2.9, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts (i) to make, issue, fund or maintain the Commitment of such Lender or the Loan of such Lender through another lending office of such Lender, or (ii) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.8 or 2.9 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Commitment or Loan through such other lending office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Commitment or Loan or the interests of such Lender; provided that such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other lending office pursuant to this Section 2.12 unless the Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other lending office as described in clause (i) above.  A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.12 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount and a calculation thereof in reasonable detail) submitted by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

B.                                    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.8, if any Lender fails to notify the Borrower of any event or circumstance which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to Section 2.8 within 365 days after such Lender obtains knowledge of such event or circumstance, then such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation from the Borrower for any amount arising prior to the date which is 365 days before the date on which such Lender notifies the Borrower of such event or circumstance.

SECTION 4.     REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

In order to induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make each Loan hereunder, the Borrower represents and warrants to each Agent and each Lender that the following statements are true, correct and complete:

4.1                               Organization, Powers, Qualification, Good Standing, Business and Subsidiaries.

A.                                    Organization and Powers.  The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing, as applicable, under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, except, in the case of any Subsidiary of the Borrower, where the failure to be so organized, existing or in good standing has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties, to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, to enter into the Loan Documents and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby.

B.                                    Qualification and Good Standing.  The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business and in good standing, as applicable, in every jurisdiction in which its assets are located and wherever necessary to carry out its business and operations, except in jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.2                               Authorization of Borrowing, etc.

A.                                    Authorization of Borrowing, etc.  The execution, delivery and performance of each Loan Document have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Borrower.

39

B.                                    No Conflict.  The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of each Loan Document and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not (i) violate any provision of any Applicable Law with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, any of the Organizational Documents of the Borrower or any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority binding on the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such violation would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such conflict, breach or default would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) require any approval of stockholders, partners or members or any approval or consent of any Person under any Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except for such approvals or consents which will be obtained on or before the Effective Date and disclosed in writing to Administrative Agent.

C.                                    Governmental Consents.  The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of each Loan Document and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not require any Governmental Authorization (other than, prior to the Credit Date, Governmental Authorizations required to complete the Mayne Pharma Acquisition).

D.                                    Binding Obligation.  Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and is the legally valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

4.3                               Disclosure.

No representation or warranty of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries contained in any Loan Document or in any other document, certificate or written statement furnished to any Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact (known to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in the case of any document not furnished by any of them) necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made.  Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Agents and the Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results.

4.4                               Financial Condition.

The Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Administrative Agent the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2005 and the related audited consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the

40

Borrower for the Fiscal Year then ended, together with all related notes and schedules thereto.  All such statements were prepared in conformity with GAAP and fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position of the entities described in such financial statements as at the respective dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows of the entities described therein for each of the periods then ended, subject, in the case of any such unaudited financial statements, to changes resulting from audit and normal year-end adjustments.  Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any contingent liability or liability for taxes, long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment that is not reflected in the foregoing financial statements or the notes thereto and which in any such case could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.5                               No Material Adverse Change.

Except as disclosed in the Borrower’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to September 20, 2006, no event or change occurred during the period from December 31, 2005 through September 20, 2006 that had, or would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

4.6                               Intellectual Property Matters.

Except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns or possesses rights to use all franchises, licenses, copyright registrations, copyright applications, issued patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, trademark registrations, trademark rights, service marks, service mark applications, service mark rights, trade names, trade name rights, copyrights and rights with respect to the foregoing which are required to conduct its business.  No event has occurred which permits, or after notice or lapse of time or both would permit, the revocation or termination of any such rights (except for the expiration of patents in the ordinary course), and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof is liable to any Person for infringement under Applicable Law with respect to any such rights as a result of its business operations except to the extent any such revocation, termination, or infringement could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.7                               No Litigation; Compliance with Laws.

Except for the matters disclosed in the Borrower’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to September 20, 2006, as of such date there were no actions, suits, proceedings (whether administrative, judicial or otherwise), litigations, arbitrations or governmental investigations (whether or not purportedly on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) at law or in equity, or before or by any Governmental Authority, domestic or foreign (including any Environmental Claims), that were pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and that, individually or in the aggregate, could have reasonably been expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  Prior to September 2006 and as of such date, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries was subject to or in default with respect to any final judgment, writ, injunction, decree, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority, domestic or foreign, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably have been

41

expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any Applicable Laws (including Environmental Laws) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

4.8                               No Default.

Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any of its Contractual Obligations, and no condition exists that, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default, except where the consequences, direct or indirect, of such default or defaults, if any, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.9                               Governmental Regulation.

Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or under any federal or state statute or regulation which may limit its ability to incur Indebtedness or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable.  Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “registered investment company” or a company “controlled” by a “registered investment company” or a “principal underwriter” of a “registered investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

4.10                        Securities Activities.

Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock.  No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock in violation of the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

4.11                        Employee Benefit Plans.

A.                                    Each of the Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates is in material compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, and have performed all their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan in all material respects.  Each Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service or has submitted or will submit a request for such a determination letter within the applicable remedial amendment period.

B.                                    No material liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments) or the Internal Revenue Service has been or is expected to be incurred by the Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan, and no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur, other than ERISA Events for which the liability has been satisfied in full or is immaterial in amount.

42

C.                                    As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of the Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA is not expected to be material.  The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries and each of their ERISA Affiliates have complied in all material respects with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan.

4.12                        Environmental Protection.  As of September 20, 2006:

A.                                    Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective Facilities or operations was subject to any outstanding written order, consent decree or settlement agreement with any Person relating to any Environmental Law, any Environmental Claim, or any Hazardous Materials Activity that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably have been expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

B.                                    Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries had received any letter or request for information under Section 104 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. § 9604) or any comparable state law, except to the extent that such letter or request could not reasonably have been expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

C.                                    There were not and, to the Borrower’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ knowledge, had not been any condition, occurrence, or Hazardous Materials Activity which could reasonably have been expected to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably have been expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

D.                                    Compliance with all then-current or reasonably foreseeable future requirements pursuant to or under Environmental Laws could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably have been expected to give rise to a Material Adverse Effect.

E.                                      Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any predecessor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of such predecessor, had filed any notice under any Environmental Law indicating past or present treatment of Hazardous Materials at any Facility, and none of the Borrower’s nor any of its Subsidiaries’ operations involved the generation, transportation, treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous waste, as defined under 40 C.F.R.  Parts 260 270 or any state equivalent, except to the extent that any of the foregoing could not reasonably have been expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

F.                                      No event or condition had occurred or was occurring with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any Environmental Law, any Release of Hazardous Materials, or any Hazardous Materials Activity which individually or in the aggregate had had, or could reasonably have been expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

43

4.13                        Pari Passu.

The Obligations and any other claims of the Lead Arrangers, the Agents and the Lenders arising hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents rank at least pari passu with the claims of all of the Borrower’s other senior unsecured creditors, except those creditors whose claims are preferred by any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally.

4.14                        Restrictions.

There are no contractual restrictions on the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transfer of cash or other assets from any such Subsidiary to the Borrower, other than prohibitions or restrictions permitted under Section 6.4.

SECTION 5.     AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

The Borrower covenants and agrees that, so long as the Commitments shall remain in effect and until payment in full of all Obligations (other than Surviving Obligations), unless the provisions of this Section 5 are waived or amended in accordance with Section 8.5, the Borrower shall perform, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform, all covenants in this Section 5.

5.1                               Financial Statements and Other Reports.

The Borrower will deliver to Administrative Agent:

Assignment Agreement in the Register, shall give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and shall maintain a copy of such Assignment Agreement.

D.                                    Representations and Warranties of Assignee.  Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon executing and delivering an Assignment Agreement, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Effective Date or as of the applicable Effective Date (as defined in the applicable Assignment Agreement) that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as its Commitment or Loans, as the case may be; and (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitment or Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of its Commitment or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 8.1, the disposition of its Commitment or Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

E.                                      Effect of Assignment.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 8.1, as of the “Effective Date” specified in the applicable Assignment Agreement:  (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent such rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned thereby pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 8.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided, anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding and (y) such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); (iii) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect the Commitment of such assignee and any Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note to the assigning Lender, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its Notes to the Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon the Borrower shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to evidence the Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.

59

G.                                    Participations.  Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates) in all or any part of its Commitment, Loans or other Obligations.  The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof) or (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement.  The Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.9C and 2.8 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 8.1A; provided (i) a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.8 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent and (ii) a participant that would be a Non-US Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.8B unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.8B as though it were a Lender.  To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.5 as though it were a Lender, provided such participant agrees to be subject to Section 8.18 as though it were a Lender.

8.3                               Indemnity.

A.                                    In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 8.2, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Borrower agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless each of the Lead Arrangers and Agents and each Lender, and the respective partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, and affiliates of each of the Lead Arrangers and each of the Agents and each Lender (collectively called the “Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities (as hereinafter defined); provided that the Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  As used herein, “Indemnified Liabilities” means, collectively, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages (including natural resource damages), penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims (including environmental claims), costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened by the Borrower or any other Person, whether or not any such Indemnitee shall be designated as a party or a potential party thereto, and any fees or expenses incurred by Indemnitees in enforcing this indemnity), whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or foreign laws, statutes, rules or regulations (including securities and commercial laws, statutes, rules or regulations and Environmental Laws), on common law or equitable cause or on contract or otherwise, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any such Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the Lenders’ agreements to make the Loans hereunder or the use or intended use of the proceeds thereof, or any enforcement of any of the Loan Documents).

B.                                    To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 8.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

C.                                    To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries shall not assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against the Lenders, the Agents, the Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, arising out of, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or

61

any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

8.4                               Set-Off.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each of the Agents and each Lender (and each of their respective Affiliates) is hereby authorized by the Borrower at any time or from time to time subject, except in the case of an Event of Default under Section 7.1, 7.6 or 7.7, to the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), without notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set-off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Agent or such Lender (or such Affiliate), and any of their respective affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to such Agent or such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not (i) such Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (ii) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 7 and although said Obligations, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured.

8.5                               Amendments and Waivers.

No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders; provided that no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent shall, without the consent of each Lender affected thereby:  (i) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan; (ii) waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled repayment (but not prepayment); (iii) reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount hereunder; (iv) extend the time for payment of any such interest, fees or other amounts; (v) reduce the principal amount of any Loan; (vi) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of this Section 8.5; (vii) amend, modify or replace the definition of “Requisite Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share”, or any provision of this Agreement which would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required hereunder; or (viii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided further that no such amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall:  (1) increase the Commitments of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender; or (2) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of this Agreement as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the consent of such Agent.  The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the

concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender.  Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.  No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

8.6                               Independence of Covenants.

All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED.  The scope of this waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this transaction, including contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all other common law and statutory claims.  Each party hereto acknowledges that this waiver is a material inducement to enter into a business relationship, that each has already relied on this waiver in entering into this Agreement, and that each will continue to rely on this waiver in their related future dealings.  Each party hereto further warrants and represents that it has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel.  THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 8.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER.  In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

8.17                        Confidentiality.

Each Agent and Lender shall hold all confidential, proprietary or non-public information regarding the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses which has been identified as confidential by any the Borrower and obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement in accordance with such Agent’s or Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices, it being understood and agreed by the Borrower that in any event each Lender may make disclosures (i) to Affiliates of such Agent or Lender and the directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives of such Agent or Lender and their Affiliates (and to other persons authorized by an Agent or Lender to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 8.17); (ii) reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by any Lender of its Loans or any interest therein; (iii) to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries received by it from any of the Agents or any Lender; (iv) required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof; provided that unless specifically prohibited by applicable law, court order or similar regulatory process, each Agent and Lender shall make reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than

67

any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Agent or Lender by such Governmental Authority) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information; (v) to any other party hereto; (vi) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (vii) to any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and their Obligations; (viii) with the consent of the Borrower or (ix) to the extent such information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 8.17 or (y) becomes available to any Agent, any Lender or their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower so long as such Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate does not have knowledge that such source has an obligation to the Borrower to keep such information confidential; provided that in no event shall any Agent or Lender be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

8.18                        Ratable Sharing.

The Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of commitment fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender), which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect to of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of the receipt of such payment and (ii) apply a portion of such payment to purchase (for cash at face value) participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment), or such other adjustments as shall be equitable, in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided that, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.  The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

8.19                        Counterparts; Effectiveness.

This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto or in connection herewith may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.  This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by the Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

8.20                        Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights.

The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder.  Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity.  The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

8.21                        Usury Savings Clause.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.  As used herein, “Highest Lawful Rate” means the maximum lawful interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, charged, or received under the laws applicable to any Lender which are presently in effect or, to the extent allowed by law, under such applicable laws which may hereafter be in effect and which allow a higher maximum nonusurious interest rate than applicable laws now allow.  If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect.  In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws.  Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrower.

70

ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Loan Documents (other than to confirm receipt of items required under this Agreement or any Loan Document to be delivered to such Agent) or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default (unless and until notice describing such Event of Default or Potential Event of Default is given to such Agent by the Borrower or any other Agent) or to make disclosures with respect to the foregoing.  Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the component amounts thereof.

C.                                    Exculpatory Provisions.  No Agent or any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents except to the extent caused by such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from the Requisite Lenders (or such other the Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 8.5) and, upon receipt of such instructions from the Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions.  Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each of Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 8.5).

D.                                    Agents Entitled to Act as Lenders.  The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder.  With respect to its participation in the Loans, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity.  Any Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own Securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with the Borrower or any of their Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.  No Agent shall have any duty to disclose any information obtained or received by it or any of its Affiliates relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the extent such information was obtained or received in any capacity other than

71

as an Agent under this Agreement.  In the event that Citicorp or any of its Affiliates shall be or become an indenture trustee under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (as amended, the “Trust Indenture Act”) in respect of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Borrower, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any payment or property received in satisfaction of or in respect of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or on behalf of Citicorp in its capacity as the Administrative Agent for the benefit of any Lender under this Agreement or any Note (other than Citicorp or an Affiliate of Citicorp) and which is applied in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed to be exempt from the requirements of Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act pursuant to Section 311(b)(3) of the Trust Indenture Act.

9.3                               Representations and Warranties; No Responsibility For Appraisal of Creditworthiness.

Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making of the Loans hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.  No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of the Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to the Lenders.

9.4                               Right to Indemnity.

Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower to the full extent required by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that (a) no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and (b) no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of an Indemnified Liability pursuant to this Section 9.4 unless such Indemnified Liability was incurred by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such or by another Person acting for the Administrative Agent in such capacity.  If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.

72

9.5                               Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and signed by the Requisite Lenders.  Upon any such notice of resignation or any such removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right, with, so long as no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default exists, the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Borrower, to select a successor Administrative Agent.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.  After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

9.6                               Acknowledgment of Potential Related Transactions.

The Borrower hereby acknowledge its understanding that each of the Lead Arrangers, each of the Agents and each of the Lenders may from time to time effect transactions (for its own account or the account of customers), and hold positions in loans or options on loans that may be the subject of this arrangement.  In addition, certain Affiliates of the Lenders are full service securities firms and as such may from time to time effect transactions (for its own account or the account of customers), and hold positions, in loans or options on loans or securities or options on securities that may be the subject of this arrangement.  In addition, each of the Lead Arrangers, each of the Agents and each of the Lenders may employ the services of its Affiliates in providing certain services hereunder and may, subject to Section 8.17, exchange with such Affiliates information concerning the Borrower and other companies that may be the subject of this arrangement.
