To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or entity that opens an account, including any deposit account, treasury management account, loan, other extension of credit, or other financial services product. What this means for Borrowers: When a borrower opens an account, if borrower is an individual, the applicable bank will ask for borrower’s name, taxpayer identification number, residential address, date of birth and other information that will allow such bank to identify borrower, and, if borrower is not an individual, such bank will ask for borrower’s name, taxpayer identification number, business address, and other information that will allow such bank to identify borrower. The bank may also ask, if borrower is an individual, to see borrower’s driver’s license or other identifying documents, and, if borrower is not an individual, to see borrower’s legal organizational documents or other identifying documents.

(b) Government Regulation. Borrowers shall not (a) be or become subject at any time to any law, regulation, or list of any government agency (including, without limitation, the U.S. Office of Foreign Asset Control list) that prohibits or limits Agent or the Banks from making any advance or extension of credit to Borrowers or from otherwise conducting business with Borrowers, or (b) fail to provide documentary and other evidence of Borrowers’ identity as may be requested by Agent or the Banks at any time to enable Agent or the Banks to verify Borrowers’ identity or to comply with any applicable law or regulation, including, without limitation, Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. Section 5318.

ARTICLE II. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT

Section 2.1. Amount and Nature of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Bank, during the Commitment Period and to the extent hereinafter provided, shall make Loans to Borrowers, issue or participate in Letters of Credit and participate in Swing Loans made by the Swing Line Bank to Borrowers, in such aggregate amount as Borrowers shall request pursuant to the Commitments; provided, however, that in no event shall the Revolving Credit Exposure and the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan be in excess of the Total Commitment Amount.

(b) Each Bank, for itself and not one for any other, agrees to make Loans, to issue or participate in Letters of Credit and to participate in Swing Loans, during the Commitment Period, on such basis that, immediately after the completion of any borrowing by Borrowers, (i) the aggregate principal amount then outstanding on the Notes (other than the Swing Line Note) issued to such Bank, when combined with such Bank’s pro rata share, if any, of the Letter of Credit Exposure and the Swing Line Exposure, shall not be in excess of the Maximum Amount for such Bank, and (ii) the aggregate principal amount then outstanding on the Notes (other than the Swing Line Note) issued to such Bank shall represent that percentage of the aggregate principal amount then outstanding on all Notes (other than the Swing Line Note) that shall be such Bank’s Commitment Percentage. Within each Specific Commitment, each borrowing (other than Swing Loans which shall be risk participated on a pro rata basis) from the Banks hereunder shall be made pro rata according to the respective Applicable Commitment Percentages of the Banks.

(c) The Loans shall be made either as Revolving Loans as described in Section 2.2(a) hereof, as a Term Loan as described in Section 2.3 hereof, as Swing Loans as described in Section 2.4 hereof and Letters of Credit may be issued in accordance with Section 2.2(b) hereof.

Section 2.2. Revolving Credit. (a) Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Commitment Period, the Banks shall make a Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans to Borrowers in such amount or amounts as Borrowers may from time to time request, but not exceeding in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding hereunder the Maximum Revolving Amount for all of the Banks, when such Revolving Loans are combined with the Swing Line Exposure and the Letter of Credit Exposure. Borrowers shall have the option, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to borrow Revolving Loans, maturing on the last day of the Commitment Period, by means of any combination of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Borrowers shall be entitled under this Section 2.2(a) to borrow funds, repay the same in whole or in part and re-borrow hereunder at any time and from time to time during the Commitment Period.

(i) Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Commitment Period, the Fronting Bank shall, in its own name, on behalf of the Banks, issue such Letters of Credit for the account of any Borrower or any Guarantor of Payment, as Administrative Borrower may from time to time request. Administrative Borrower shall not request any Letters of Credit (and the Fronting Bank shall not be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit) if, after giving effect thereto, (A) the Letter of Credit Exposure would exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment or (B) the Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment. The issuance of each Letter of Credit shall confer upon the Banks the benefits and liabilities of a participation consisting of an undivided pro rata interest in the Letter of Credit to the extent of such Bank’s Applicable Commitment Percentage with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment.

(ii) Request for Letter of Credit. Each request for a Letter of Credit shall be delivered to Agent (and the Fronting Bank, if the Fronting Bank shall be a Bank other than Agent) not later than 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) three Business Days prior to the day upon which the Letter of Credit is to be issued. Each such request shall be in a form acceptable to Agent (and the Fronting Bank, if the Fronting Bank shall be a Bank other than Agent) and specify the face amount thereof, the account party, the beneficiary, the intended date of issuance, and the expiry date thereof.

(iii) Letter of Credit Fees. With respect to each Letter of Credit, Borrowers agree to pay to Agent, for the benefit of the Banks, a non-refundable Letter of Credit commission based upon the face amount of such Letter of Credit, which shall be paid quarterly in arrears on each Regularly Scheduled Payment Date, at the rate per annum of the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are LIBOR Loans (in effect on the date such payment is to be made) times the face amount of such Letter of Credit. Borrowers also agree to pay to the Fronting Bank, for its sole account, (A) with respect to each Letter of Credit, a non-refundable facing fee based upon the face amount of such Letter of Credit, which shall be paid annually in advance on the issuance date of such Letter of Credit and on each annual anniversary date thereof, at the rate per annum of one-eighth of one percent (1/8 of 1%) times the face amount of such Letter of Credit, and (B) such other issuance, amendment, negotiation, draw, acceptance, telex, courier, postage and similar transactional fees as are generally charged by such Fronting Bank under its fee schedule as in effect from time to time.

(iv) Refunding of Letters of Credit with Revolving Loans. Whenever a Letter of Credit shall be drawn, Borrowers shall immediately after Agent has given Borrowers notice of such drawing, reimburse the Fronting Bank for the amount drawn. In the event that the amount drawn shall not have been reimbursed by Borrowers within one Business Day of the drawing of such Letter of Credit, at the sole option of Agent (and the Fronting Bank, if the Fronting Bank is a Bank other than Agent), Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.2 and 2.9 hereof, in the amount drawn. Such Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes. The Banks agree to make a Revolving Loan on the date of such notice, subject to no conditions precedent whatsoever. The Banks acknowledge and agree that their obligation to make a Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.2(a) when required by this Section 2.2(b) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and that its payment to Agent, for the account of the Fronting Bank, of the proceeds of such Revolving Loan shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not the Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been reduced or terminated. Borrowers irrevocably authorize and instruct Agent to apply the proceeds of any borrowing pursuant to this subsection to reimburse, in full, the Fronting Bank for the amount drawn on

such Letter of Credit. The Banks are hereby authorized to record on its records relating to its Revolving Credit Note such Bank’s pro rata share of the amounts paid and not reimbursed on the Letters of Credit.

(v) Participation in Letters of Credit. If, for any reason, Agent (or the Fronting Bank if the Fronting Bank shall be a Bank other than Agent) shall be unable to or, in the opinion of Agent, it shall be impracticable to, convert any Letter of Credit to a Revolving Loan pursuant to the preceding subsection, Agent (or the Fronting Bank if the Fronting Bank shall be a Bank other than Agent) shall have the right to request that the Banks purchase a participation in the amount due with respect to such Letter of Credit, and Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof (by facsimile or telephone, confirmed in writing). Upon such notice, but without further action, the Fronting Bank hereby agrees to grant to the Banks, and each Bank hereby agrees to acquire from the Fronting Bank, an undivided participation interest in the amount due with respect to such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to each such Bank’s Applicable Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the amount due with respect to such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, the Banks hereby absolutely and unconditionally agree, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to Agent, for the account of the Fronting Bank, such Bank’s ratable share of the amount due with respect to such Letter of Credit (determined in accordance with such Bank’s Applicable Commitment Percentage). The Banks acknowledge and agree that their obligation to acquire participations in the amount due under any Letter of Credit that is drawn but not reimbursed by Borrowers pursuant to this subsection (v) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not each such Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been reduced or terminated. The Banks shall comply with their obligation under this subsection (v) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.9 with respect to Revolving Loans. Each Bank is hereby authorized to record on its records such Bank’s pro rata share of the amounts paid and not reimbursed on the Letters of Credit.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Commitment Period, the Swing Line Bank shall make a Swing Loan or Swing Loans to Borrowers in such amount or amounts as Borrowers may from time to time request; provided that Borrowers shall not request any Swing Loan hereunder if, after giving effect thereto, (i) the Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment, or (ii) the Swing Line Exposure would exceed the Swing Line Commitment. Each Swing Loan shall be due and payable on the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto. Borrowers shall not request that more than two Swing Loans be outstanding at any time.

(b) Refunding of Swing Loans. If the Swing Line Bank so elects, by giving notice to Borrowers and the Banks, Borrowers agree that the Swing Line Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require that any Swing Loan be refinanced as a Revolving Loan. Such Revolving Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan unless otherwise requested by and available to Borrowers hereunder. Upon receipt of such notice by Borrowers and the Banks, Borrowers shall be deemed, on such day, to have requested a Revolving Loan in the principal amount of the Swing Loan in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.7 hereof (other than the requirement set forth in subsection (d) of Section 2.7 hereof). Each Bank agrees to make a Revolving Loan on the date of such notice, subject to no conditions precedent whatsoever. Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that such Bank’s obligation to make a Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof when required by this subsection (b) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and that its payment to Agent, for the account of the Swing Line Bank, of the proceeds of such Revolving Loan shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not such Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been reduced or terminated. Borrowers irrevocably authorize and instruct Agent to apply the proceeds of any borrowing pursuant to this subsection (b) to repay in full such Swing Loan.

(c) Participation in Swing Loans. If, for any reason, Agent is unable to or, in the opinion of Agent, it is impracticable to, convert any Swing Loan to a Revolving Loan pursuant to the preceding subsection (b), then on any day that a Swing Loan is outstanding (whether before or after the maturity thereof), Agent shall have the right to request that each Bank purchase a participation in such Swing Loan, and Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof (by facsimile or telephone, confirmed in writing). Upon such notice, but without further action, the Swing Line Bank hereby agrees to grant to each Bank, and each Bank hereby agrees to acquire from the Swing Line Bank, an undivided participation interest in such Swing Loan in an amount equal to such Bank’s Applicable Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of such Swing Loan. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Bank hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to Agent, for the benefit of the Swing Line Bank, such Bank’s ratable share of such Swing Loan (determined in accordance with such Bank’s Applicable Commitment Percentage). Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swing Loans pursuant to this subsection (c) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not such Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been reduced or terminated. Each Bank shall comply with its obligation under this subsection (c) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.7 hereof with respect to Revolving Loans to be made by such Bank.

All payments described in this subsection (b) shall be remitted to Agent at the address of Agent for notices referred to in Section 11.4 hereof for the account of the Banks (or the Swing Line Bank, as appropriate) not later than 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) on the due date thereof in immediately available funds. Any such payments received by Agent after 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) shall be deemed to have been made and received on the next following Business Day.

Each Bank shall record any principal, interest or other payment, the principal amounts of Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans, all prepayments and the applicable dates, including Interest Periods, with respect to the Loans made, and payments received by such Bank, by such method as such Bank may generally employ; provided, however, that failure to make any such entry shall in no way detract from the obligations of Borrowers under the Notes. The aggregate unpaid amount of Loans, types of Loans, Interest Periods and similar information with respect to the Loans set forth on the records of Agent shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence with respect to such information, including the amounts of principal and interest owing and unpaid on each Note.

(d) Timing of Payments. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder, including, without limitation, any payment to be made on any Note, shall be stated to be due on a day that shall not be a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall in each case be included in the computation of the interest payable on such Note; provided, however, that, with respect to any LIBOR Loan, if the next succeeding Business Day shall fall in the succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the preceding Business Day and the relevant Interest Period shall be adjusted accordingly.

Section 2.9. Prepayment.

(a) Right to Prepay. Borrowers shall have the right at any time or from time to time to prepay, on a pro rata basis for all of the Banks (except with respect to Swing Loans, which shall be paid to the Swing Line Bank), all or any part of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, as designated by Borrowers, plus interest accrued on the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment and any amount payable under Article III hereof with respect to the amount being prepaid.

(a) Optional Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments. Borrowers may at any time or from time to time permanently reduce in whole or ratably in part the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder to an amount not less than the then existing Revolving Credit Exposure, by giving Agent not fewer than five Business Days’ notice of such reduction, provided that any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount, for all of the Banks, of not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), increased by increments of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the date of each such reduction and such Bank’s proportionate share thereof. After each such reduction, the commitment fees payable hereunder shall be calculated upon the Maximum Revolving Amount as so reduced. If Borrowers reduce in whole the Revolving Credit Commitments, on the effective date of such reduction (Borrowers having prepaid in full the unpaid principal balance, if any, of the Notes, together with all interest and commitment and other fees accrued and unpaid and provided that no Letter of Credit Exposure or Swing Line Exposure shall exist), all of the Revolving Credit Notes shall be delivered to Agent marked “Canceled” and Agent shall redeliver such Revolving Credit Notes to Borrowers. Any partial reduction in the Maximum Revolving Amount shall be effective during the remainder of the Commitment Period.

(b) [RESERVED]

Section 2.12. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest on Loans and commitment and other fees and charges hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year having three hundred sixty (360) days and calculated for the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 2.13. Mandatory Payment.

(a) If, at any time, the Revolving Credit Exposure shall exceed the Maximum Revolving Amount as then in effect, Borrowers shall, as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the next Business Day, prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Loans sufficient to bring the Revolving Credit Exposure within the Maximum Revolving Amount.

(b) If, at any time, the Swing Line Exposure shall exceed the Swing Line Commitment, Borrowers shall, as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the next Business Day, prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Swing Loans sufficient to bring the Swing Line Exposure within the Swing Line Commitment.

(c) If, at any time, a Prepayment Event occurs, Borrowers shall, as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the next Business Day, apply the Prepayment Proceeds to the Term Loan and then, if the Term Loan is no longer outstanding, to the Revolving Loans. If the Prepayment Proceeds are applied to the Term Loan, such proceeds shall be applied to the principal installments of the Term Loan in inverse chronological order. If the Prepayment Proceeds are applied to the Revolving Loans in accordance with the preceding sentence, the

Revolving Credit Commitments and the Maximum Revolving Amount shall be permanently reduced by the amount of Prepayment Proceeds allocated thereto, respectively, whether or not there shall be any Revolving Credit Exposure thereunder.

(d) Any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan or Swing Loan pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be subject to the prepayment penalties set forth in Article III hereof.

Section 2.14. Liability of Borrowers.

(a) Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Borrower to request a Loan hereunder. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Agent and the Banks are entering into this Agreement at the request of each Borrower and with the understanding that each Borrower is and shall remain fully liable, jointly and severally, for payment in full of the Debt. Each Borrower agrees that it is receiving or will receive a direct pecuniary benefit for each Loan made hereunder.

(b) Appointment of Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints MTCT as Administrative Borrower for purposes of being the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all Borrowers, which appointment shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of this Agreement or unless and until Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Borrower (i) to provide Agent with all notices with respect to Loans obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and (ii) to take such action as Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Loans and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the Collateral of Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that neither Agent nor any Bank shall incur liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group.

(c) Maximum Liability of Each Borrower. Anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the maximum liability of any Subsidiary Borrower exceed the maximum amount that (after giving effect to the incurring of the obligations hereunder and to any rights to contribution of such Subsidiary Borrower from other affiliates of such Subsidiary Borrower) would not render the rights to payment of Agent and the Banks hereunder void, voidable or avoidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer law.

Section 2.15. Waivers of Each Borrower. In the event that any obligation of any Borrower under this Agreement is deemed to be an agreement by such Borrower to answer for the debt or default of another Credit Party or as a hypothecation of property as security therefore, each Borrower represents and warrants that (i) no representation has been made to it as to the

creditworthiness of such other Credit Party, and (ii) it has established adequate means of obtaining from such other Credit Party on a continuing basis, financial or other information pertaining to such other Credit Party’s financial condition. Each Borrower expressly waives, except as expressly required under this Agreement, diligence, demand, presentment, protest and notice of every kind and nature whatsoever, consents to the taking by Agent and the Banks of any additional security of another Credit Party for the obligations secured hereby, or the alteration or release in any manner of any security of another Credit Party now or hereafter held in connection with the Debt, and consents that Agent, the Banks and any other Credit Party may deal with each other in connection with said obligations or otherwise, or alter any contracts now or hereafter existing between them, in any manner whatsoever, including without limitation the renewal, extension, acceleration, changes in time for payment of any such obligations or in the terms or conditions of any security held. Agent and the Banks are hereby expressly given the right, at their option, to proceed in the enforcement of any of the Debt independently of any other remedy or security they may at any time hold in connection with such obligations secured and it shall not be necessary for Agent and the Banks to proceed upon or against or exhaust any other security or remedy before proceeding to enforce their rights against such Borrower. Each Borrower further subordinates any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, setoff or other recourse in respect of sums paid to Agent and the Banks by any other Credit Party.

ARTICLE III. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO LIBOR

LOANS; INCREASED CAPITAL; TAXES.

Section 3.1. Requirements of Law.

(a) If, after the Closing Date (i) the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or (ii) the compliance by any Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

(A) shall subject any Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any LIBOR Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Bank in respect thereof (except for Taxes and Excluded Taxes which are governed by Section 3.2 hereof);

(B) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Bank that is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate; or

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining LIBOR Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Borrowers shall pay to such Bank, promptly after receipt

of a written request therefor, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Bank becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection (a), it shall promptly notify Administrative Borrower (with a copy to Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b) If any Bank shall have determined that, after the Closing Date, the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, to a level below that which such Bank or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, upon submission by such Bank to Administrative Borrower (with a copy to Agent) of a written request therefore (which shall include the method for calculating such amount), Borrowers shall promptly pay or cause to be paid to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such reduction.

(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.1 submitted by any Bank to Administrative Borrower (with a copy to Agent) shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. In determining any such additional amounts, such Bank may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its reasonable discretion) shall deem applicable. The obligations of Borrowers pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder for ninety (90) days.

Section 3.2. Taxes.

(a) All payments made by any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes or Other Taxes. If any Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Agent or any Bank thereunder, the amounts so payable to Agent or such Bank shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Agent or such Bank (after payment of all Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in the Loan Documents.

(b) In addition, Credit Parties shall pay Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Whenever any Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be withheld and paid by a Credit Party, such Credit Party shall timely withhold and pay such taxes to the relevant Governmental Authorities. As promptly as possible thereafter, Borrowers shall send to Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Bank, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Credit Party showing payment thereof. If such Credit Party shall fail to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrowers shall indemnify Agent and the Banks on demand for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Agent or any Bank as a result of any such failure.

(d) If any Bank shall be so indemnified by a Credit Party, such Bank shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the benefits of any refund, deduction or credit for any taxes or other amounts with respect to the amount paid by such Credit Party and shall reimburse such Credit Party to the extent, but only to the extent, that such Bank shall receive a refund with respect to the amount paid by such Credit Party or an effective net reduction in taxes or other governmental charges (including any taxes imposed on or measured by the total net income of such Bank) of the United States or any state or subdivision or any other Governmental Authority thereof by virtue of any such deduction or credit, after first giving effect to all other deductions and credits otherwise available to such Bank. If, at the time any audit of such Bank’s income tax return is completed, such Bank determines, based on such audit, that it shall not have been entitled to the full amount of any refund reimbursed to such Credit Party as aforesaid or that its net income taxes shall not have been reduced by a credit or deduction for the full amount reimbursed to such Credit Party as aforesaid, such Credit Party, upon request of such Bank, shall promptly pay to such Bank the amount so refunded to which such Bank shall not have been so entitled, or the amount by which the net income taxes of such Bank shall not have been so reduced, as the case may be.

(e) Each Bank that is not (i) a citizen or resident of the United States of America, (ii) a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States of America (or any jurisdiction thereof), or (iii) any estate or trust that is subject to federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income (any such Person, a “Non-U.S. Bank”) shall deliver to Administrative Borrower and Agent two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Bank claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement with respect to such interest and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by Credit Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Bank on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement or such other Loan Document. In addition, each Non-U.S. Bank shall deliver such forms or appropriate replacements promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any from previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Bank. Each Non-U.S. Bank shall promptly notify Administrative Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to Administrative Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection (e), a Non-U.S. Bank shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this subsection (e) that such Non-U.S. Bank is not legally able to deliver.

(f) The agreements in this Section 3.2 shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 3.3. Funding Losses. Borrowers agree to indemnify each Bank, promptly after receipt of a written request therefor, and to hold each Bank harmless from, any loss or expense

that such Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by a Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans after such Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by a Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from LIBOR Loans after such Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of LIBOR Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereof or (d) any conversion of LIBOR Loans to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification shall be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amounts so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Bank) that would have accrued to such Bank on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the appropriate London interbank market, along with any administration fee charged by such Bank. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.3 submitted to Administrative Borrower by any Bank shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. The obligations of Borrowers pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 3.4. LIBOR Rate Lending Unlawful; Inability to Determine Rate.

(a) If any Bank shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to Administrative Borrower and Agent, be conclusive and binding on Borrowers absent demonstrable error) that, after the Closing Date, (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or (ii) any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Bank to make or continue any Loan as, or to convert (if permitted pursuant to this Agreement) any Loan into, a LIBOR Loan, the obligations of such Bank to make, continue or convert any such LIBOR Loan shall, upon such determination, be suspended until such Bank shall notify Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all outstanding LIBOR Loans payable to such Bank shall automatically convert (if conversion is permitted under this Agreement) into a Base Rate Loan, or be repaid (if no conversion is permitted) at the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by law or such assertion.

(b) If the Required Banks determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan, or that the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding such Loan, Agent will promptly so notify Administrative Borrower and each Bank. Thereafter, the obligation of the Banks to make or maintain such LIBOR Loan shall be suspended until Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Banks) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Administrative Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of such LIBOR Loan or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of a Base Rate Loan in the amount specified therein.

Agent, or Agent’s designated agent, is hereby constituted and appointed as each Borrower’s attorney-in-fact with authority and power to endorse, any and all instruments, documents, and chattel paper upon such Borrower’s failure to do so. Such authority and power, being coupled with an interest, shall be (a) irrevocable until all of the Debt is paid, (b) exercisable by Agent at any time during which a Cash Collateral Account or lockbox is being maintained pursuant to this Section 6.2 and without any request upon such Borrower by Agent to so endorse, and (c) exercisable in Agent’s name or such Borrower’s name. Each Borrower

hereby waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, and any and all other similar notices with respect thereto, regardless of the form of any endorsement thereof.

(d) to notify and require Account Debtors on such Borrower’s Accounts and purchasers of such Borrower’s Inventory to make payment of their indebtedness directly to Agent;

(e) to take or bring, in the name of Agent or such Borrower, all steps, actions, suits, or proceedings deemed by Agent necessary or desirable to effect the receipt, enforcement, and collection of the Collateral; and

(f) to accept all collections in any form relating to the Collateral, including remittances which may reflect deductions, and to deposit the same, into such Borrower’s Cash Collateral Account or, at the option of Agent, to apply them as a payment against any Note or Notes or any other Debt.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents will not conflict with nor result in any material breach in any of the provisions of, or constitute a material default under, or result in the creation of any Lien (other than Liens permitted under Section 5.9 hereof) upon any assets or property of any Company under the provisions of, such Company’s Organizational Documents or any agreement.

With respect to each ERISA Plan that is intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a), (a) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust operationally comply with the applicable requirements of Code Section 401(a); (b) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust have been amended to comply with all such requirements as currently in effect, other than those requirements for which a retroactive amendment can be made within the “remedial amendment period” available under Code Section 401(b) (as extended under Treasury Regulations and other Treasury pronouncements upon which taxpayers may rely); (c) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust have received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating that the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(a), that the associated trust qualifies under Code Section 501(a) and, if applicable, that any cash or deferred arrangement under the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(k), unless the ERISA Plan was first adopted at a time for which the above-described “remedial amendment period” has not yet expired; (d) the ERISA Plan currently satisfies the requirements of Code Section 410(b), subject to any retroactive amendment that may be made within the above-described “remedial amendment period”; and (e) no contribution made to the ERISA Plan is subject to an excise tax under Code Section 4972. With respect to any Pension Plan, the “accumulated benefit obligation” of Controlled Group members with respect to the Pension Plan (as determined in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions”) does not exceed the fair market value of Pension Plan assets.

Section 7.12. Consents or Approvals. No consent, approval or authorization of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to be obtained or completed by any Company in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by any Company of any of the Loan Documents, that has not already been obtained or completed.

Section 7.13. Solvency. Each Borrower has received consideration that is the reasonable equivalent value of the obligations and liabilities that such Borrower has incurred to Agent and the Banks. No Borrower is insolvent as defined in any applicable state, federal or relevant foreign statute, nor will such Borrower be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to Agent and the Banks. No Borrower is engaged or about to engage in any business or transaction for which the assets retained by it are or will be an unreasonably small amount of capital, taking into consideration the obligations to Agent and the Banks incurred hereunder. No Borrower intends to, nor does it believe that it will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.

Section 7.14. Financial Statements. The Consolidated financial statements of MTCT for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 furnished to Agent and the Banks, are true and complete, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and fairly present the financial condition of the Companies as of the dates of such financial statements and the results of their operations for the periods then ending. Since the dates of such statements, there has been no material adverse change in any Company’s financial condition, properties or business or any change in any Company’s accounting procedures.

Section 7.15. Regulations. No Company 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” (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America). The use of the proceeds of the Loans will not violate, or be inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation U or X or any other Regulation of such Board of Governors.

Section 7.16. Intellectual Property. Each Company owns, possesses, or has the right to use all of the patents, patent applications, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, licenses, and rights with respect to the foregoing necessary for the conduct of its business without any known conflict with the rights of others.

Section 7.17. Insurance. Each Company maintains with financially sound and reputable insurers insurance with coverage and limits as required by law and as is customary with Persons engaged in the same businesses as the Companies. Schedule 7.17 hereto sets forth all insurance carried by the Companies on the Closing Date, setting forth in detail the amount and type of such insurance.

Section 7.18. Accurate and Complete Statements. Neither the Loan Documents nor any written statement made by any Company in connection with any of the Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein or in the Loan Documents not misleading. After due inquiry by Borrowers, there is no known fact that any Company has not disclosed to Agent and the Banks that has or is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 7.19. Defaults. No Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, nor will any begin to exist immediately after the execution and delivery hereof.

ARTICLE IX. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

Notwithstanding any contrary provision or inference herein or elsewhere,

Section 9.1. Optional Defaults. If any Event of Default referred to in Section 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, 8.9 or 8.10 hereof shall occur, Agent may, with the consent of the Required Banks, and shall, at the request of the Required Banks, give written notice to Borrowers, to:

(a) terminate the Commitments, if not previously terminated, and, immediately upon such election, the obligations of the Banks, and each thereof, to make any further Loan nor shall the Fronting Bank be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit, and/or

(b) accelerate the maturity of all of the Debt (if the Debt is not already due and payable), whereupon all of the Debt shall become and thereafter be immediately due and payable in full without any presentment or demand and without any further or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by Borrowers.

Section 9.2. Automatic Defaults. If any Event of Default referred to in Section 8.11 hereof shall occur:

(a) all of the Commitments shall automatically and immediately terminate, if not previously terminated, and no Bank thereafter shall be under any obligation to grant any further Loan nor shall the Fronting Bank be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit, and

(b) the principal of and interest then outstanding on all of the Notes, and all of the other Debt, shall thereupon become and thereafter be immediately due and payable in full (if the Debt is not already due and payable), all without any presentment, demand or notice of any kind, which are hereby waived by Borrowers.

Section 9.3. Letters of Credit. If the maturity of the Debt shall be accelerated pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.2 hereof, Borrowers and any Guarantors of Payment shall immediately deposit with Agent, as security for the obligations of Borrowers to reimburse Agent and the Banks for any then outstanding Letters of Credit, cash equal to the sum of the aggregate undrawn balance of any then outstanding Letters of Credit. Agent and the Banks are hereby authorized, at their option, to deduct any and all such amounts from any deposit balances then owing by any Bank (or any affiliate of such Bank, wherever located) to or for the credit or account of any Company, as security for the obligations of Borrowers and any Guarantors of Payment to reimburse Agent and the Banks for any then outstanding Letters of Credit.

Section 9.4. Offsets. If there shall occur or exist any Event of Default referred to in Section 8.11 hereof or if the maturity of the Notes is accelerated pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.2 hereof, each Bank shall have the right at any time to set off against, and to appropriate and apply toward the payment of, any and all Debt then owing by Borrowers to such Bank (including, without limitation, any participation purchased or to be purchased pursuant to Section 2.4(c) or 9.4 hereof), whether or not the same shall then have matured, any and all deposit (general or

special) balances and all other indebtedness then held or owing by such Bank (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies or any affiliate of such Bank) to or for the credit or account of any Borrower or Guarantor of Payment, all without notice to or demand upon any Borrower or any other Person, all such notices and demands being hereby expressly waived by each Borrower.

Section 9.5. Equalization Provision. Each Bank agrees with the other Banks that if it, at any time, shall obtain any Advantage over the other Banks or any thereof in respect of the Debt (except as to Swing Loans and Letters of Credit prior to Agent’s giving of notice to participate and except under Article III hereof), it shall purchase from the other Banks, for cash and at par, such additional participation in the Debt as shall be necessary to nullify the Advantage. If any such Advantage resulting in the purchase of an additional participation as aforesaid shall be recovered in whole or in part from the Bank receiving the Advantage, each such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price restored (but without interest unless the Bank receiving the Advantage is required to pay interest on the Advantage to the Person recovering the Advantage from such Bank) ratably to the extent of the recovery. Each Bank further agrees with the other Banks that if it at any time shall receive any payment for or on behalf of any Borrower on any indebtedness owing by any Borrower to that Bank (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by reason of offset of any deposit or other indebtedness, by counterclaim or cross-action, by the enforcement of any right under any Loan Document, or otherwise) it will apply such payment first to any and all Debt owing by such Borrower to that Bank (including, without limitation, any participation purchased or to be purchased pursuant to this Section or any other Section of this Agreement). Each Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from the other Banks or any thereof pursuant to this Section may exercise all of its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank was a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 9.6. Collateral. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at all times thereafter, Agent, on behalf of the Required Banks, shall have the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Ohio Revised Code as in effect from time to time, in addition to the rights and remedies of a secured party provided elsewhere within this Agreement, in any other Related Writing executed by any Borrower or otherwise provided in law or equity. Agent may require Borrowers to assemble the Collateral, which Borrowers agree to do, and make it available to Agent and the Banks at a reasonably convenient place to be designated by Agent. Agent may, with or without notice to or demand upon Borrowers and with or without the aid of legal process, make use of such force as may be necessary to enter any premises where the Collateral, or any thereof, may be found and to take possession thereof (including anything found in or on the Collateral that is not specifically described in this Agreement, each of which findings shall be considered to be an accession to and a part of the Collateral) and for that purpose may pursue the Collateral wherever the same may be found, without liability for trespass or damage caused thereby to Borrowers. After any delivery or taking of possession of the Collateral, or any thereof, pursuant to this Agreement, then, with or without resort to Borrowers personally or any other Person or property, all of which Borrowers hereby waive, and upon such terms and in such manner as Agent may deem advisable, Agent, in its discretion, may sell, assign, transfer and deliver any of the Collateral at any time, or from time to time. No prior

notice need be given to Borrowers or to any other Person in the case of any sale of Collateral that Agent determines to be perishable or to be declining speedily in value or that is customarily sold in any recognized market, but in any other case Agent shall give Borrowers not fewer than ten days prior notice of either the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof is to be made. Borrowers waive advertisement of any such sale and (except to the extent specifically required by the preceding sentence) waive notice of any kind in respect of any such sale. At any such public sale, Agent or the Banks may purchase the Collateral, or any part thereof, free from any right of redemption, all of which rights Borrowers hereby waive and release. After deducting all Related Expenses, and after paying all claims, if any, secured by Liens having precedence over this Agreement, Agent may apply the net proceeds of each such sale to or toward the payment of the Debt, whether or not then due, in such order and by such division as Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable. Any excess, to the extent permitted by law, shall be paid to Borrowers, and Borrowers shall remain liable for any deficiency. In addition, Agent shall at all times have the right to obtain appraisals of Borrowers or the Collateral, the cost of which shall be paid by Borrowers.

Section 9.7. Other Remedies. The remedies in this Article IX are in addition to, not in limitation of, any other right, power, privilege, or remedy, either in law, in equity, or otherwise, to which the Banks may be entitled. Agent shall exercise the rights under this Article IX and all other collection efforts on behalf of the Banks and no Bank shall act independently with respect thereto, except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement.

Section 9.8. Application of Proceeds. After the exercise by Agent, on behalf of the Banks, of remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, all monies received by Agent shall be applied, unless otherwise required by the terms of the other Loan Documents or by applicable law, as follows:

(a) first, to the payment of all obligations (to the extent not paid by Borrower) incurred by Agent pursuant to Section 11.5 hereof and to the payment of Related Expenses;

(b) second, to the payment pro rata of (i) interest then accrued and payable on the outstanding Loans, (ii) any fees then accrued and payable to Agent, and (iii) any fees then accrued and payable to any Fronting Bank or the holders of the Letter of Credit Exposure;

(c) third, (i) to the Banks, on a pro rata basis, based upon each Bank’s Overall Commitment Percentage; provided that the amounts payable in respect of the Letter of Credit Exposure shall be held and applied by Agent as security for the reimbursement obligations in respect thereof, and, if any Letter of Credit shall expire without being drawn, then the amount with respect to such Letter of Credit shall be distributed to the Banks, on a pro rata basis in accordance with this subpart, and (ii) the Indebtedness under any Hedge Agreement entered into by a Borrower with any Bank, such amount to be based upon the net termination obligation of Borrower under such Hedge Agreement; with such payment to be pro rata between (i) and (ii) hereof; and

(d) finally, any remaining surplus after all of the Secured Debt has been paid in full, to Borrowers or to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled thereto.

Section 10.3. Consultation with Counsel. Agent may consult with legal counsel selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.

Section 10.4. Documents. Agent shall not be under any duty to examine into or pass upon the validity, effectiveness, genuineness or value of any Loan Document or any other Related Writing furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith or the value of any collateral obtained hereunder, and Agent shall be entitled to assume that the same are valid, effective and genuine and what they purport to be.

Section 10.6. Knowledge of Default. It is expressly understood and agreed that Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default has occurred, unless Agent has been notified by a Bank in writing that such Bank believes that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and specifying the nature thereof or has been notified by a Borrower pursuant to Section 5.14 hereof.

Section 10.7. Action by Agent. Subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, so long as Agent shall be entitled, pursuant to Section 10.6 hereof, to assume that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent shall be entitled to use its discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any rights that may be vested in it by, or with respect to taking or refraining from taking any action or actions that it may be able to take under or in respect of, this Agreement. Agent shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, certificate, warranty or other paper or instrument believed by it to be genuine or authentic or to be signed by the proper party or parties, or with respect to anything that it may do or refrain from doing in the reasonable exercise of its judgment, or that may seem to it to be necessary or desirable in the premises.

Section 10.8. Default Notices. In the event that Agent shall have acquired actual knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, Agent shall promptly notify the Banks and shall take such action and assert such rights under this Agreement as the Required Banks shall direct and Agent shall inform the other Banks in writing of the action taken.

Section 10.9. Indemnification of Agent. The Banks agree to indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers) ratably, according to their respective Overall Commitment Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in its capacity as agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by Agent with respect to this Agreement or any Loan Document, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or from any action taken or omitted by Agent in any capacity other than as agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 10.10. Successor Agent. Agent may resign as agent hereunder by giving not fewer than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Borrowers and the Banks. If Agent shall resign under this Agreement, then either (a) the Required Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a successor agent for the Banks (with the consent of Administrative Borrower so long as an Event of Default has not occurred and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), or (b) if a successor agent shall not be so appointed and approved within the thirty (30) day period following Agent’s notice to the Banks of its resignation, then Agent shall appoint a successor agent that shall serve as agent until such time as the Required Banks appoint a successor agent. Upon its appointment, such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties as

ARTICLE XI. MISCELLANEOUS

Section 11.1. Banks’ Independent Investigation. Each Bank, by its signature to this Agreement, acknowledges and agrees that Agent has made no representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the creditworthiness, financial condition, or any other condition of any Company or with respect to the statements contained in any information memorandum furnished in connection herewith or in any other oral or written communication between Agent and such Bank. Each Bank represents that it has made and shall continue to make its own independent investigation of the creditworthiness, financial condition and affairs of the Companies in connection with the extension of credit hereunder, and agrees that Agent has no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Bank with any credit or other information with respect thereto (other than such notices as may be expressly required to be given by Agent to the Banks hereunder), whether coming into its possession before the first Credit Event hereunder or at any time or times thereafter.

Section 11.2. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No omission or course of dealing on the part of Agent, any Bank or the holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and in addition to any other rights, powers or privileges held by operation of law, by contract or otherwise.

Section 11.3. Amendments, Consents. No amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document nor consent to any variance therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Banks and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, unanimous consent of the Banks shall be required with respect to (a) any increase in the Commitments hereunder, (b) the extension of maturity of the Notes, the payment date of interest or principal thereunder, or the payment of commitment or other fees or amounts payable hereunder, (c) any reduction in the rate of interest on the Notes, or in any amount of principal or interest due on any Note, or the payment of commitment or other fees hereunder or any change in the manner of pro rata application of any payments made by Borrowers to the Banks hereunder, (d) any change in any percentage voting requirement, voting rights, or the Required Banks definition in this Agreement, (e) the release of any Borrower or Guarantor of Payment or of any collateral in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) securing the Debt or any part thereof, or (f) any amendment to this Section 11.3 or Section 9.5 hereof. Notice of amendments or consents ratified by the Banks hereunder shall be forwarded by Agent to all of the Banks.

Section 11.4. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and, if to a Borrower, mailed or delivered to it, addressed to it at the address specified on the signature pages of this Agreement, if to a Bank, mailed or delivered to it, addressed to the address of such Bank specified on the signature pages of this Agreement, or, as to each party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each of the other parties. All notices, statements, requests, demands and other communications provided for hereunder shall be deemed to be given or made (i) when delivered or two Business Days after being deposited in the mails with postage prepaid by registered or certified mail, addressed as aforesaid, or (ii) when sent by facsimile with telephonic confirmation of receipt, except that notices from a Borrower to Agent or the Banks pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall not be effective until received by Agent or the Banks, as the case may be.

Section 11.5. Costs, Expenses and Taxes. Borrowers agree to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of Agent, including but not limited to, (a) Related Expenses, (b) syndication, administration, travel and out-of-pocket expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and expenses, of Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation and closing of the Loan Documents and the administration of the Loan Documents, the collection and disbursement of all funds hereunder and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, (c) extraordinary expenses of Agent in connection with the administration of the Loan Documents and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, and (d) the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of special counsel for Agent, with respect to the foregoing, and of local counsel, if any, who may be retained by said special counsel with respect thereto.

In addition, Borrowers shall pay any and all stamp and other taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, and agree to hold Agent and each Bank harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes or fees.

Section 11.6. Indemnification. Each Borrower agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Agent and the Banks (and their respective affiliates, officers, directors, attorneys, agents and employees) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments and suits of any kind or nature whatsoever (together with all reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, and disbursements, incurred or made by Agent or any Bank in relation thereto) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent or any Bank, or any affiliate thereof, in connection with (a) any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not Agent or such Bank, or any affiliate thereof, shall be designated a party thereto), or (b) any claim by any Person relating to or arising out of any Loan Document or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of the Loans or any of the Debt, or any activities of any Company or its Affiliates; provided that no Bank nor Agent shall

have the right to be indemnified under this Section 11.6 for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. All obligations provided for in this Section 11.6 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.7. Obligations Several; No Fiduciary Obligations. The obligations of the Banks hereunder are several and not joint. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by Agent or the Banks pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute Agent or the Banks a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. No default by any Bank hereunder shall excuse the other Banks from any obligation under this Agreement; but no Bank shall have or acquire any additional obligation of any kind by reason of such default. The relationship among Borrowers, Agent and the Banks with respect to the Loan Documents and the Related Writings is and shall be solely that of debtors and creditors, respectively, and neither Agent nor any Bank shall have any fiduciary obligation toward any Credit Party with respect to any such documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

Section 11.8. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

Section 11.9. Binding Effect; Borrowers’ Assignment. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Borrower, Agent and each Bank and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Borrower, Agent and each of the Banks and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of Agent and all of the Banks.

Section 11.10. Bank Assignments.

(a) Assignments of Commitments. Each Bank shall have the right at any time or times to assign to an Eligible Transferee (other than to a Bank that shall not be in compliance with this Agreement or to a Borrower or an Affiliate of a Company), without recourse, all or a percentage of all of the following: (i) such Bank’s Commitment, (ii) all Loans made by that Bank, (iii) such Bank’s Notes, and (iv) such Bank’s interest in any Letter of Credit or Swing Loan, and any participation purchased pursuant to Section 2.2(b), 2.4(c) or 9.5 hereof. Each Bank shall at all times maintain the same Applicable Commitment Percentage (as rounded to the sixth decimal) with respect to both the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Term Loan Commitment.

(b) Prior Consent. No assignment may be consummated pursuant to this Section 11.10 without the prior written consent of Administrative Borrower and Agent (other than an assignment by any Bank to another Bank or to any affiliate of such Bank which affiliate is either wholly-owned by a Bank or is wholly-owned by a Person that wholly owns, either directly or indirectly, such Bank), which consent of Administrative Borrowers and Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that, Administrative Borrower’s consent shall not be required if, at the time of the proposed assignment, any Default or Event of Default shall then

exist. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any Bank may at any time make a collateral assignment of all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank, and no such assignment shall release such assigning Bank from its obligations hereunder.

(c) Minimum Amount. Each such assignment shall be in a minimum amount of the lesser of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) of the assignor’s Commitment and interest herein, or the entire amount of the assignor’s Commitment and interest herein.

(d) Assignment Fee. Unless the assignment shall be to an affiliate of the assignor or the assignment shall be due to merger of the assignor or for regulatory purposes, either the assignor or the assignee shall remit to Agent, for its own account, an administrative fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500).

(e) Assignment Agreement. Unless the assignment shall be due to merger of the assignor or a collateral assignment for regulatory purposes, the assignor shall (i) cause the assignee to execute and deliver to Administrative Borrower and Agent an Assignment Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver, or cause the assignee to execute and deliver, as the case may be, to Agent such additional amendments, assurances and other writings as Agent may reasonably require.

(f) Non-U.S. Assignee. If the assignment is to be made to an assignee that is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof, the assignor Bank shall cause such assignee, at least five Business Days prior to the effective date of such assignment, (i) to represent to the assignor Bank (for the benefit of the assignor Bank, Agent and Borrowers) that under applicable law and treaties no taxes will be required to be withheld by Agent, Borrowers or the assignor with respect to any payments to be made to such assignee in respect of the Loans hereunder, (ii) to furnish to the assignor (and, in the case of any assignee registered in the Register (as defined below), Agent and Borrowers) either (A) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN or (B) United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable (wherein such assignee claims entitlement to complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all interest payments hereunder), and (iii) to agree (for the benefit of the assignor, Agent and Borrowers) to provide to the assignor Bank (and, in the case of any assignee registered in the Register, to Agent and Borrowers) a new Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN or Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable, upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such assignee, and to comply from time to time with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax exemption.

(g) Deliveries by Borrowers. Upon satisfaction of all applicable requirements specified in subsections (a) through (f) above, Borrowers shall execute and deliver (i) to Agent, the assignor and the assignee, any consent or release (of all or a portion of the obligations of the assignor) required to be delivered by Borrowers in connection with the Assignment Agreement, and (ii) to the assignee and the assignor, if applicable, an appropriate Note or Notes. After delivery of the new Note or Notes, the assignor’s Note or Notes being replaced shall be returned to Borrowers marked “replaced”.

(h) Effect of Assignment. Upon satisfaction of all applicable requirements set forth in subsections (a) through (g) above, and any other condition contained in this Section 11.10, (i) the assignee shall become and thereafter be deemed to be a “Bank” for the purposes of this Agreement, (ii) the Assignor shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent that its interest has been assigned, (iii) in the event that the assignor’s entire interest has been assigned, the assignor shall cease to be and thereafter shall no longer be deemed to be a “Bank”, and (iv) the signature pages hereto and Schedule 1 hereto shall be automatically amended, without further action, to reflect the result of any such assignment.

(i) Agent to Maintain Register. Agent shall maintain at the address for notices referred to in Section 11.4 hereof a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Bank from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of demonstrable error, and Borrowers, Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers or any Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Section 11.11. Sale of Participations. Any Bank may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell participations to one or more Eligible Transferees or an affiliate of such Bank (each a “Participant”) in all or a portion of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of the Commitment and the Loans and participations owing to it and the Note held by it); provided, that:

(a) any such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged;

(b) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations;

(c) the parties hereto shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents;

(d) such Participant shall be bound by the provisions of Section 9.5 hereof, and the Bank selling such participation shall obtain from such Participant a written confirmation of its agreement to be so bound; and

(e) no Participant (unless such Participant is itself a Bank) shall be entitled to require such Bank to take or refrain from taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan

Document, except that such Bank may agree with such Participant that such Bank will not, without such Participant’s consent, take action of the type described as follows:

(i) increase the portion of the participation amount of any Participant over the amount thereof then in effect, or extend the Commitment Period, without the written consent of each Participant affected thereby; or

(ii) reduce the principal amount of or extend the time for any payment of principal of any Loan, or reduce the rate of interest or extend the time for payment of interest on any Loan, or reduce the commitment fee, without the written consent of each Participant affected thereby.

Borrowers agree that any Bank that sells participations pursuant to this Section 11.11 shall still be entitled to the benefits of Article III hereof, notwithstanding any such transfer; provided, however, that the obligations of Borrowers shall not increase as a result of such transfer and Borrowers shall have no obligation to any Participant.

Section 11.12. Severability of Provisions; Captions; Attachments. Any provision of this Agreement that shall be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. The several captions to Sections and subsections herein are inserted for convenience only and shall be ignored in interpreting the provisions of this Agreement. Each schedule or exhibit attached to this Agreement shall be incorporated herein and shall be deemed to be a part hereof.

Section 11.13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, any Note and any other Loan Document or other agreement, document or instrument attached hereto or executed on or as of the Closing Date integrate all of the terms and conditions mentioned herein or incidental hereto and supersede all oral representations and negotiations and prior writings with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 11.14. Legal Representation of Parties. The Loan Documents were negotiated by the parties with the benefit of legal representation and any rule of construction or interpretation otherwise requiring this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be construed or interpreted against any party shall not apply to any construction or interpretation hereof or thereof.

Section 11.15. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement, each of the Notes and any Related Writing shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio and the respective rights and obligations of Borrowers and the Banks shall be governed by Ohio law, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Ohio state or federal court sitting in Cleveland, Ohio, over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Debt or any Related Writing, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Ohio state or federal court. Each Borrower, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby irrevocably

waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any action or proceeding in any such court as well as any right it may now or hereafter have to remove such action or proceeding, once commenced, to another court on the grounds of FORUM NON CONVENIENS or otherwise. The parties hereto each agree that a final, nonappealable judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Section 11.16. JURY TRIAL WAIVER. EACH BORROWER, AGENT AND EACH BANK, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AMONG BORROWERS, AGENT AND THE BANKS, OR ANY THEREOF, ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTE OR OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO.
