				LIBOR Loans
Levels	Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio	Base Rate		Revolver		Term Loan 1		Unused Line Fee
I	Less than 1.25 to 1.0	0.75	%	2.25	%	2.50	%	0.375	%
II	If equal to or greater than 1.25 to 1.0 but less than 1.50 to 1.0	0.50	%	2.00	%	2.25	%	0.375	%

V	If equal to or greater than 2.50 to 1.0	0.00	%	1.25	%	1.50	%	0.250	%

The Applicable Margin with respect to each Term Loan 2 Advance constituting a LIBOR Loan shall be 3.50% at all times (and shall not be adjusted in accordance with the above grid), and the Applicable Margin with respect to each Term Loan 2 Advance constituting a Base Rate Loan shall be 2.00% at all times. If, on any date of determination, (i) no Default or Event of Default exists and (ii) Average Availability during the immediately preceding Fiscal Quarter exceeds $60,000,000, then the Base Rate and LIBOR margins (but not the Unused Line Fee) in effect on such date shall be 0.25% lower than the per annum percentage set forth at the appropriate level in the table above.

The Applicable Margin shall be subject to reduction or increase, as applicable and as set forth in the table above, on a quarterly basis according to the performance of Borrowers as measured by the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Applicable Margin Test Period. Except as set forth in the last sentence hereof, any such increase or reduction in the Applicable Margin provided for herein shall be effective three (3) Business Days after receipt by Administrative Agent of the applicable financial statements and corresponding Compliance Certificate. If the financial statements and the Compliance Certificate of Borrowers setting forth the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio are not received by Administrative Agent by the date required pursuant to Section 10.1.3 of this Agreement, the Applicable Margin shall be determined as if the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is at Level I until such time as such financial statements and Compliance Certificate are received and any Event of Default resulting from a failure to timely deliver such financial statements or Compliance Certificate is waived in writing by Agents and Lenders. Agents and Lenders shall be entitled within ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of such Event of Default, to accrue and receive interest at the Default Rate to the extent authorized by Section 3.1.5 of this Agreement until Borrowers have delivered the delinquent financial statements and Compliance Certificate (but nothing contained herein shall constitute a waiver of Lenders’ right to charge the Default Rate upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default) and, on each date that the Default Rate accrues on any Loan, the Applicable Margin on such date for such Loan shall be the Applicable Margin that would apply if the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is at Level I (without regard to the actual Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio). For the final Fiscal Quarter of any Fiscal Year of Borrowers, Borrowers may provide the unaudited financial statements of Borrowers, subject only to year-end adjustments, for the purpose of determining the Applicable Margin; provided, however, that if, upon delivery of the annual audited financial statements required to be submitted by Borrowers to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.1.3(i) of this Agreement, Borrowers have not met the criteria for reduction of the Applicable Margin pursuant to the terms hereinabove for the relevant financial period, including the final Fiscal Quarter of the Fiscal Year of Borrowers then ended, then (a) such Applicable Margin reduction shall be terminated and, effective on the first day of the month following receipt by Administrative Agent of such audited financial statements, the Applicable Margin shall be the Applicable Margin that would have been in effect if such reduction had been implemented based upon the audited financial statements of Borrowers for the final Fiscal Quarter of the Fiscal Year of Borrowers then ended, and (b) Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of the Lenders, on the first Business Day of the month following receipt by Administrative Agent of such audited financial statements, an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest and fees that would have been paid using the Applicable Margin determined based upon such audited financial statements and the amount of interest actually paid during the period in which the reduction of the Applicable Margin was in effect based upon the unaudited financial statements for the final Fiscal Quarter of the Fiscal Year of Borrowers then ended.

Applicable Margin Test Period - means (i) the period from the Closing Date through September 30, 2006, on a cumulative basis, (ii) the period from the Closing Date through December 31, 2006, on a cumulative basis, (iii) the period from the Closing Date through March 31, 2007, on a cumulative basis, and (iv) thereafter, as of the end of each Fiscal Quarter for the immediately preceding four (4) Fiscal Quarters.

Applicable Test Period - means, (i) for the period from the Closing Date through April 30, 2007, as of the last day of each fiscal month, on a cumulative basis, and (ii) thereafter, as of the last day of each fiscal month based upon the immediately preceding twelve month period.

If the amount outstanding is equal to or greater than the Borrowing Base, Availability is zero.

Availability Reserve - on any date of determination thereof, an amount equal to the sum of the following (without duplication): (i) the Inventory Reserve; (ii) all amounts of past due rent, fees or other charges owing at such time by any Borrower to any landlord of any premises where any of the Collateral is located or to any processor, repairman, mechanic or other Person who is in possession of any Collateral or has asserted any Lien or claim thereto and a rent reserve equal to three (3) months rent for any leased location of a Borrower at which Collateral is located (other than the Decatur, Alabama leased location of Feralloy) and for which a Lien Waiver has not been delivered to Administrative Agent; (iii) any amounts which any Borrower is obligated to pay pursuant to the provisions of any of the Credit Documents that an Agent or any Lender elects to pay for the account of such Borrower in accordance with authority contained in any of the Credit Documents; (iv) the LC Reserve; (v) aggregate amount of reserves established by Administrative Agent in its reasonable credit judgment in respect of Banking Relationship Debt; (vi) the aggregate amount of all liabilities and obligations that are secured by Liens upon any of the Collateral that are senior in priority to Administrative Agent’s Liens if such Liens are not Permitted Liens (provided that the imposition of a reserve hereunder on account of such Liens shall not be deemed a waiver of the Event of Default that arises from the existence of such Liens); and (vii) such additional reserves, in such amounts and with respect to such matters, as Administrative Agent in its reasonable credit judgment may elect to impose from time to time.

CREDIT FACILITIES

Subject to the terms and conditions of, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties made in, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, Lenders severally agree to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth to make their respective Pro Rata shares of the Commitments available to Borrowers, in an aggregate amount up to $410,000,000, as follows:

Revolver Commitment.

Revolver Loans. Each Lender agrees, severally to the extent of its Revolver Commitment and not jointly with the other Lenders, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to make Revolver Loans to Borrowers at the request of Borrower Agent on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof through the earlier of the Commitment Termination Date or the Business Day before the last day of the Term, not to exceed in aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time such Lender’s Revolver Commitment at such time, which Revolver Loans may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that Lenders shall have no obligation to Borrowers whatsoever to honor any request for a Revolver Loan on or after the Commitment Termination Date or if at the time of the proposed funding thereof the aggregate principal amount of all of the Revolver Loans then outstanding and Pending Revolver Loans exceeds, or would exceed after the funding of such Revolver Loan, the Borrowing Base. Each Borrowing of Revolver Loans shall be funded by Lenders on a Pro Rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolver Commitments (except for Bank with respect to Settlement Loans). The Revolver Loans shall bear interest as set forth in Section 3.1. hereof. Each Revolver Loan shall, at the option of Borrowers, be made or continued as, or converted into, part of one or more Borrowings that, unless specifically provided herein, shall consist entirely of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans.

Out-of-Formula Loans. If the unpaid balance of Revolver Loans outstanding at any time should exceed the Borrowing Base at such time (an “Out-of-Formula Condition”), such Revolver Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations that are secured by the Collateral and entitled to all of the benefits of the Credit Documents. In the event that Lenders are willing in their sole and absolute discretion to make Out-of-Formula Loans or are required to do so by Sections 2.1.7 or 13.9.3 hereof, such Out-of-Formula Loans shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest as provided in Section 3.1.5 of this Agreement.

Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Revolver Loans shall be used by Borrowers solely for one or more of the following purposes: (i) to pay the fees and transaction expenses associated with the closing of the transactions described herein; (ii) to pay any of the Obligations; (iii) to finance the acquisition of Borrowers by New Parent; (iv) to issue standby or commercial letters or credit; (v) to finance the ongoing general corporate (including working capital and capital expenditure) needs of Borrowers; and (vi) to make expenditures for other lawful corporate purposes of Borrowers to the extent such expenditures are not prohibited by this Agreement or Applicable Law. In no event may any Revolver Loan proceeds be used by any Borrower to make a contribution to the equity of any Subsidiary, to purchase or to carry, or to reduce, retire or refinance any Debt incurred to purchase or carry, any Margin Stock or for any related purpose that violates the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors.

Revolver Notes. The Revolver Loans made by each Lender and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Administrative Agent and such Lender and by the Revolver Note payable to such Lender (or the assignee of such Lender), which shall be executed by Borrowers, completed in conformity with this Agreement and delivered to such Lender. All outstanding principal amounts and accrued interest under the Revolver Notes shall be due and payable as set forth in Section 5.2 hereof.

Voluntary Reductions of Revolver Commitments. Borrower Agent (on behalf of Borrowers) shall have the right to permanently reduce the amount of the Revolver Commitments, on a Pro Rata basis for each Lender, at any time and from time to time upon written notice to Administrative Agent of such reduction, which notice shall specify the amount of such reduction, shall be irrevocable once given, shall be given at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the reduction will become effective and shall be effective only upon Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit such notice to each Lender. If on the effective date of any such reduction in the Revolver Commitments and after giving effect thereto an Out-of-Formula Condition exists, then the provisions of Section 5.2.1(iii) hereof shall apply, except that such repayment shall be due immediately upon such effective date without further notice to or demand upon Borrowers. If the Revolver Commitments are reduced to zero, then such reduction shall be deemed a termination of the Commitments by Borrowers pursuant to Section 6.2.2 hereof. The Revolver Commitments, once voluntarily reduced by Borrower Agent on behalf of Borrowers, may not be reinstated without the written consent of all Lenders.

Bank Products. Borrowers may request and Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, arrange for Borrowers to obtain from Bank, any Lender or their Affiliates Bank Products; provided, that only Borrower Agent may arrange Hedging Agreements on behalf of Borrowers. If Bank Products are provided by an Affiliate of Bank or any Lender, Borrowers agree to indemnify and hold Agents, Bank and Lenders harmless from any and all costs and obligations then or thereafter incurred by Agents, Bank or any of Lenders which arise from any indemnity given by Bank or any Lender to their Affiliates related to such Bank Products; provided, however, nothing contained herein is intended to limit the Borrowers’ rights, with respect to Bank or any Lender or their Affiliates, if any, which arise as a result of the execution of documents by and among Borrowers, Bank or any Lender or their Affiliates which relate to Bank Products. The agreement contained in this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the obtaining of Bank Products from Bank or any Lender or their Affiliates (a) is in the sole and absolute discretion of Bank, such Lender or their Affiliates, and (b) is subject to all rules and regulations of Bank, such Lender or their Affiliates.

Administrative Agent Advances. Administrative Agent shall be authorized by Borrowers and Lenders, from time to time in Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion, at any time that a Default or Event of Default exists or any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 11 hereof have not been satisfied, to make Revolver Loans to Borrowers on behalf of Lenders in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time not to exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base, but the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolver Loans shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolver Commitments (and to the extent that an Out-of-Formula Condition occurs as a result thereof, subject to Section 13.9.3 hereof), but only to the extent that Administrative Agent deems the funding of such Revolver Loans to be necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of or the amount of repayment of the Obligations or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including costs, fees and expenses, all of which Revolver Loans advanced by Administrative Agent shall be deemed part of the Obligations and secured

by the Collateral, shall be treated as Settlement Loans and shall be settled and paid by Borrowers and Lenders as provided herein for Settlement Loans; provided, however, that the Required Lenders may at any time revoke Administrative Agent’s authorization to make any such Revolver Loans by written notice to Administrative Agent, which shall become effective upon and after Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof.

1.1.1. Increase in Revolver Commitments.

(i) So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, Borrowers may request that the Revolver Commitments be increased and, upon such request, Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts in light of then current market conditions to solicit additional financial institutions to become Lenders for purposes of this Agreement, or to encourage any Lender to increase its Revolver Commitment, provided that (a) each Lender which is a party to this Agreement immediately prior to such increase shall have the first option, and may elect, to fund its Pro Rata share of the amount of the increase in the Revolver Commitment (or any such greater amount in the event that one or more Lenders does not elect to fund its respective Pro Rata share of the amount of the increase in the Revolver Commitment), thereby increasing its Commitment hereunder, but no Lender shall have any obligation to do so, (b) in the event that it becomes necessary to include a new financial institution to fund the amount of the requested increase in the Revolver Commitment, each such financial institution shall be an Eligible Assignee and each such financial institution shall become a Lender hereunder and agree to become party to, and shall assume and agree to be bound by, this Agreement, subject to all terms and conditions hereof; (c) no Lender shall have an obligation to the Borrowers, Agents or any other Lender to increase its Revolver Commitment or its Pro Rata share of the Revolver Commitments, which decision shall be made in the sole discretion of each Lender; and (d) in no event shall the addition of any Lender or Lenders or the increase in the Revolver Commitment of any Lender under this Section 2.1.8 increase the aggregate Revolver Commitments (i) in any single instance by less than $5,000,000 or (ii) to an aggregate amount greater than $375,000,000 less the amount of any voluntary reductions under Section 2.1.5 hereof. Upon the addition of any Lender, or the increase in the Revolver Commitment of any Lender, Schedule 1 shall be amended by Administrative Agent and the Borrowers to reflect such addition or such increase, and Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Lenders, Agents and Borrowers copies of such amended Schedule 1. Any new financial institution added as a new Lender pursuant to this Section 2.1.8 shall be required to have a Revolver Commitment of not less than $5,000,000. Borrowers shall not be required to pay to Administrative Agent, for its own account, an administrative or arrangement fee for the foregoing increase in the Revolver Commitments even if such fee requires the processing of any new Lender. Lenders shall be entitled to receive and Borrowers shall be obligated to pay a mutually agreeable amendment fee to the Administrative Agent for the Pro Rata benefit of those Lenders who increase their Revolver Commitment and any new Lenders, such fee to be based upon the increase in their Revolver Commitments only and not on their aggregate Revolver Commitments after giving effect to such increase.

(ii) If any requested increase in the Revolver Commitments is agreed to in accordance with Section 2.1.8(i) above, Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall determine the effective date of such increase (the “Increase Effective Date”). Administrative Agent, with the consent and approval of the Borrowers, shall promptly confirm in writing to the Lenders the final allocation of such increase as of the Increase Effective Date, and each new Lender and each existing Lender that has increased its Revolver Commitment shall purchase Revolver Loans and LC Obligations from each other Lender in an amount such that, after such purchase or purchases, the amount of outstanding Revolver Loans and LC Obligations from each Lender shall equal such Lender’s respective Pro Rata share of the Revolver Commitments, as modified to give effect to

such increase, multiplied by the aggregate amount of Revolver Loans outstanding and LC Obligations from all Lenders. As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of such increase, the Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a responsible officer of Borrower Agent on behalf of the Borrowers, including a Compliance Certificate demonstrating compliance with the terms of this Agreement and certification that, before and after giving effect to such increase, the representations and warranties contained in Section 9 of the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date (except to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date) and no Default or Event of Default exists. Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrowers shall deliver a new or amended Revolver Note reflecting the new or increased Revolver Commitment of each new or affected Lender as of the Increase Effective Date.

1.2. Term Loan Commitments.

Term Loans. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to make to Borrowers a Term Loan 1 Advance in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Term Loan 1 Commitment and a Term Loan 2 Advance in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Term Loan 2 Commitment. The Term Loan shall be comprised of Term Loan 1 Advances in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Term Loan 1 Availability and Term Loan 2 Advances in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Term Loan 2 Availability and shall be funded by Lenders on the Closing Date, concurrently with Lenders’ funding of their initial Revolver Loans. The proceeds of the Term Loans shall be used by Borrowers solely for purposes for which the proceeds of the Revolver Loans are authorized to be used. The Term Loan 1 Commitment and Term Loan 2 Commitment of each Lender shall expire on the funding by such Lender of its Term Loan 1 Advance and Term Loan 2 Advance, respectively. Borrowers shall not be entitled to reborrow any amounts repaid with respect to the Term Loan Advances. All of the Term Loan Advances shall bear interest as set forth in Section 3.1 hereof. All of the Term Loan 1 Advances shall initially be Base Rate Loans unless otherwise instructed by Borrower Agent at least three (3) days prior to the Closing Date. All of the Term Loan 2 Advances shall be LIBOR Loans. Each Lender shall make its Term Loan Advances available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, to such account of Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 12:00 noon on the Closing Date. After Administrative Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Term Loan Advances, and upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 11 hereof, Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of all such Term Loan Advances available to Borrowers on the Closing Date by transferring same day funds equal to the proceeds of such Term Loan Advances received by Administrative Agent to an account designated by Borrowers in writing.

Term Notes. Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent on behalf of each Lender, on the Closing Date, promissory notes substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof (such promissory notes, together with any new notes issued pursuant to Section 14.3.2 upon the assignment of any portion of any Lender’s Term Loan Advances, being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Term Notes” and each of such promissory notes being hereinafter referred to individually as a “Term Note”), to evidence such Lender’s Term Loan 1 Advance and Term Loan 2 Advance to Borrowers, in the original principal amount equal to the amount of such Lender’s Term Loan 1 Commitment and Term Loan 2 Commitment, respectively. Each Term Note shall be dated the Closing Date (or the date of the applicable Assignment and Acceptance) and shall provide for payment of the Term Loan Advances evidenced thereby as specified in Section 5.3 hereof.

1.3. Letter of Credit Facility.

Issuance of Letters of Credit. Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit from time to time until 30 days prior to the Revolver Termination Date (or until the Commitment Termination Date, if earlier), on the terms set forth herein, including the following:

(a) Each Borrower acknowledges that Issuing Bank’s willingness to issue any Letter of Credit is conditioned upon Issuing Bank’s receipt of a LC Application with respect to the requested Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as Issuing Bank may customarily require for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount. Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless (i) Issuing Bank receives a LC Request and LC Application at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance; and (ii) each LC Condition is satisfied. If Issuing Bank receives written notice from a Lender at least one Business Day before issuance of a Letter of Credit that any LC Condition has not been satisfied, Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue the requested Letter of Credit (or any other) until such notice is withdrawn in writing by that Lender or until Required Lenders have waived such condition in accordance with this Agreement. Prior to receipt of any such notice, Issuing Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of LC Conditions.

(b) Letters of Credit may be requested by Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower only (i) to support obligations of such Borrower incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business; or (ii) for other purposes as Administrative Agent and Lenders may approve from time to time in writing. The renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit, except that delivery of a new LC Application shall be required at the discretion of Issuing Bank.

(c) Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any Letter of Credit, none of Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and a Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or any Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority (except to the extent any of the foregoing arise solely from Issuing Bank’s actual gross negligence or willful misconduct). The rights and remedies of Issuing Bank under the Credit Documents shall be cumulative. Issuing Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any Letter of Credit.

(d) In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Letters of Credit or LC Documents, Issuing Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, notice or other communication in whatever form believed by Issuing Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person. Issuing Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts. Issuing Bank

may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Letters of Credit or LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.

1.3.1. Reimbursement; Participations.

(a) If Issuing Bank honors any request for payment under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall pay to Issuing Bank, on the same day (“Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid by Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for Base Rate Revolver Loans from the Reimbursement Date until payment by Borrowers. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Issuing Bank for any payment made under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and joint and several, and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrowers may have at any time against the beneficiary. Whether or not Borrower Agent submits a Notice of Borrowing, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Revolver Loans in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due Issuing Bank on any Reimbursement Date and each Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Out-of-Formula Condition exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 11 are satisfied.

(b) Upon issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata interest and participation in all LC Obligations relating to the Letter of Credit. If Issuing Bank makes any payment under a Letter of Credit and Borrowers do not reimburse such payment on the Reimbursement Date and such LC Obligations are not otherwise Cash Collateralized, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Lenders and each Lender shall promptly (within one Business Day) and unconditionally pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Issuing Bank, the Lender’s Pro Rata share of such payment. Upon request by a Lender, Issuing Bank shall furnish copies of any Letters of Credit and LC Documents in its possession at such time.

(c) The obligation of each Lender to make payments to Administrative Agent for the account of Issuing Bank in connection with Issuing Bank’s payment under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Credit Documents; any draft, certificate or other document presented under a Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or the existence of any setoff or defense that any Obligor may have with respect to any Obligations. Issuing Bank does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any LC Documents. Issuing Bank does not make to Lenders any express or implied warranty, representation or guaranty with respect to the Collateral, LC Documents or any Obligor. Issuing Bank shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value or sufficiency of any Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor.

(d) No Issuing Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Lender or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any LC Documents except as a result of its actual gross negligence or willful misconduct. Issuing Bank shall not have any liability to any Lender if Issuing Bank refrains from any action under any Letter of Credit or LC Documents until it receives written instructions from Required Lenders.

Cash Collateral. If any LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default exists, (b) that Availability is less than zero, (c) after the Commitment Termination Date, or (d) within 20 Business Days prior to the Revolver Termination Date, then Borrowers shall, at Issuing Bank’s or Administrative Agent’s request, pay to Issuing Bank the amount of all outstanding LC Obligations specified in clauses (a) and (c) of the definition of such term and Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. If Borrowers fail to Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit as required herein, Lenders may (and shall upon direction of Administrative Agent) advance, as Revolver Loans, the amount of the Cash Collateral required (whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Out-of-Formula Condition exists, or the conditions in Section 11 are satisfied).

SECTION 2. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES

2.1. Interest.

Rates of Interest. Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay interest in respect of all unpaid principal amounts of the Revolver Loans from the respective dates such principal amounts are advanced until paid (whether at stated maturity, on acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable rate indicated below:

(i) for Revolver Loans made or outstanding as Base Rate Loans, the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate in effect from time to time; or

(ii) for Revolver Loans made or outstanding as LIBOR Loans, the Applicable Margin plus the relevant Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period selected by Borrowers in conformity with this Agreement.

Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay interest in respect of all unpaid principal amounts outstanding with respect to Term Loan Advances from the respective dates such principal amounts are advanced until paid (whether at stated maturity, on acceleration, or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable rate indicated below:

(i) for Term Loan 1 Advances made or outstanding in whole or in part as Base Rate Loans, the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate in effect from time to time; or

(ii) for Term Loan 1 Advances made or outstanding in whole or in part as LIBOR Loans, the Applicable Margin plus the relevant Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period selected by Borrowers in conformity with this Agreement; or

(iii) for Term Loan 2 Advances made or outstanding, in whole or in part as Base Rate Loans, 2.00% plus the Base Rate in effect from time to time; or

(iv) for Term Loan 2 Advances made or outstanding in whole or in part as LIBOR Loans, 3.50% plus the relevant Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period selected by Borrowers in conformity with this Agreement.

Upon determining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period requested by Borrowers, Administrative Agent shall advise Borrowers of such rate. Such determination shall,

absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on all parties and for all purposes. The applicable rate of interest for all Loans (or portions thereof) bearing interest based upon the Base Rate shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, by an amount equal to any increase or decrease in the Base Rate, with such adjustments to be effective as of the opening of business on the day that any such change in the Base Rate becomes effective. Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date on which such Loan is made, converted to a Loan of another Type or continued as a LIBOR Loan to (but excluding) the date of any repayment thereof; provided, however, that, if a Loan is repaid on the same day made, one day’s interest shall be paid on such Loan. The Base Rate on the date hereof is 7.75% per annum and, therefore, the rate of interest in effect hereunder on the date hereof, expressed in simple interest terms, is 8.00% per annum with respect to any portion of the Revolver Loans bearing interest as a Base Rate Loan and is 8.00% per annum with respect to any portion of the Term Loan 1 Advances bearing interest as a Base Rate Loan and is 9.75% per annum with respect to any portion of Term Loan 2 Advances bearing interest as a Base Rate Loan.

2.1.1. Conversions and Continuations.

(i) Borrowers may on any Business Day, subject to the giving of a proper Notice of Conversion/Continuation as hereinafter described, elect (A) to continue all or any part of a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period therefor, to commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period, or (B) to convert all or any part of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, that (a) no outstanding Term Loan 2 Advances may be converted into Base Rate Loans, and (b) no outstanding Revolver Loans or Term 1 Advances may be converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans when any Default or Event of Default exists. Any conversion of a LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall be made on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. Any conversion or continuation made with respect to less than the entire outstanding balance of the Revolver Loans or the Term Loan 1 Advances must be allocated among Lenders on a Pro Rata basis, and the Interest Period for Loans converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans shall be coterminous for each Lender.

(ii) Whenever Borrowers desire to convert or continue Loans under Section 3.1.2(i), Borrower Agent shall give Administrative Agent notice either (a) in writing, substantially in the form of Exhibit C, signed by an authorized officer of Borrowers’ representative, or (b) via the internet website of Administrative Agent, in either case, at least one (1) Business Day before the requested conversion date, in the case of a conversion into Base Rate Loans, and at least two (2) Business Days before the requested conversion or continuation date, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender in writing of the proposed conversion or continuation. Each such Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable and shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be converted or continued, the date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day) and whether the Loans are being converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans (and, if so, the duration of the Interest Period to be applicable thereto and, in the absence of any specification by Borrowers of the Interest Period, an Interest Period of one month will be deemed to be specified) or Base Rate Loans. If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loans, Borrowers shall have failed to deliver the Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans.

Interest Periods. In connection with the making or continuation of, or conversion into, each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, Borrowers shall select an interest period (each an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such LIBOR Loan, which interest period shall commence on the date such LIBOR Loan

is made and shall end on a numerically corresponding day in the first, second, third or sixth month thereafter; provided, however, that:

(i) the initial Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Loan of another Type) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such LIBOR Loan shall commence on the date on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

(ii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day, provided that, if any Interest Period in respect of LIBOR Loans would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(iii) any Interest Period that begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

(iv) no Interest Period with respect to any portion of principal of a Loan shall extend beyond a date on which a Borrower is required to make a scheduled payment of such portion of principal; and

(v) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the last day of the Term.

Interest Rate Not Ascertainable. If Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) that on any date for determining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the London interbank market or any Lender’s or Bank’s position in such market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate, then, and in any such event, Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrowers of such determination. Until Administrative Agent notifies Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to the suspension described herein no longer exist, the obligation of Lenders to make LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, and such affected Loans then outstanding shall, at the end of the then applicable Interest Period or at such earlier time as may be required by Applicable Law, bear the same interest as Base Rate Loans.

Default Rate of Interest. Borrowers shall pay interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate (i) with respect to the principal amount of any portion of the Obligations (and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all past due interest) that is not paid on the due date thereof (whether due at stated maturity, on demand, upon acceleration or otherwise) until Paid in Full; (ii) with respect to the principal amount of all of the Obligations (and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all past due interest) upon the earlier to occur of (x) Borrower Agent’s receipt of notice from Administrative Agent of the Required Lenders’ election to charge the Default Rate based upon the existence of any Event of Default (which notice Administrative Agent shall send only with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders), whether or not acceleration or demand for payment of the Obligations has been made, or (y) the commencement by or against any Borrower of an Insolvency Proceeding whether or not under the circumstances described in clauses (i) or (ii) hereof Lenders elect to accelerate the maturity or demand payment of any of the Obligations; and (iii) with respect to the principal amount of any Out-of-Formula Loans, whether or not demand for payment thereof has been made by Administrative Agent. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Default Rate shall apply and accrue on any judgment entered with respect to any of the Obligations and to the unpaid principal amount of the Obligations

during any Insolvency Proceeding of a Borrower. Each Borrower acknowledges that the cost and expense to Agents and each Lender attendant upon the occurrence of an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain or estimate and that the Default Rate is a fair and reasonable estimate to compensate Agents and Lender for such added cost and expense. Interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on demand.

Fees. In consideration of Lenders’ establishment of the Commitments in favor of Borrowers, and Agents’ agreement to serve as agents hereunder, Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay the following fees:

Closing Fee. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Initial Lenders, a closing fee as provided in the Fee Letter, which shall be paid concurrently with the funding of the initial Loans hereunder.

Unused Line Fee. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to Administrative Agent for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders a fee equal to the Applicable Margin for the unused line divided by three hundred sixty (360) days and multiplied by the number of days in the month and then multiplied by the amount by which the Average Revolver Balance for any month (or portion thereof that the Commitments are in effect) is less than the aggregate amount of the Revolver Commitments, such fee to be paid on the first day of the following month; but if the Commitments are terminated on a day other than the first day of a month, then any such fee payable for the month in which termination shall occur shall be paid on the effective date of such termination and shall be based upon the number of days that have elapsed during such period.

LC Facility Fees. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay: (i) to Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata account of each Lender for Letters of Credit, the Applicable Margin in effect for LIBOR Revolver Loans on a per annum basis based on the average amount available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit outstanding and all Letters of Credit that are paid or expire during the period of measurement, payable monthly, in arrears, on the first Business Day of the following month; (ii) to Administrative Agent for its own account a Letter of Credit fronting fee of 0.125% per annum based on the average amount available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit outstanding, payable monthly, in arrears, on the first Business Day of the following month; and (iii) to Bank for its own account all normal and customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, processing and administration of Letters of Credit. During an Event of Default, the fee payable under clause (i) shall be increased to the Default Rate.

Audit and Appraisal Fees. Borrowers shall reimburse Agents and Lenders for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agents and Lenders in connection with (i) examinations and reviews of any Borrower’s books and records and such other matters pertaining to any Borrower or any Collateral as Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate in the exercise of its reasonable credit judgment and, in each case, shall pay to Administrative Agent the standard amount charged by Administrative Agent ($850 per person per day as of the Closing Date) for each day that an employee or agent of an Administrative Agent shall be engaged in an examination or review of any Borrower’s books and records, and (ii) appraisals of Inventory, Equipment and Real Estate at such times as may be determined by Administrative Agent; provided, however that:

(i) so long as Availability for each day during the immediately preceding one hundred eighty (180) day period is at least the greater of (i) $60,000,000 or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans or (iii) if the Term Loans have been Paid in Full, $40,000,000 (the “Audit Reimbursement Test”), then Borrowers shall not be obligated to reimburse Administrative Agent for more than one (1) Inventory appraisal per Fiscal Year and more than two (2) field examinations per Fiscal Year;

(ii) if Availability for each day during such immediately preceding one hundred eighty (180) day period does not satisfy the Audit Reimbursement Test (subject to the Audit Cure Period as defined below), then Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse Administrative Agent for up to two (2) Inventory appraisals per Fiscal Year and up to three (3) field examinations per Fiscal Year. For purposes hereof, the “Audit Cure Period” shall mean up to three (3) Business Days during any consecutive one hundred eighty (180) day period in which Borrowers may fail to satisfy the Audit Reimbursement Test; and

(iii) notwithstanding anytime to the contrary contained in this Section 3.2.4, if an Event of Default exists, Borrowers shall be required to reimburse Administrative Agent for all field examinations and all appraisals of Collateral.

The foregoing shall not be construed to limit any Agent’s or any Lender’s right to conduct audits and appraisals of the Collateral as provided in Section 10.1.1.

Administrative Agent’s Fee. In consideration of Bank’s service as Administrative Agent hereunder, Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to Bank an Administrative Agent’s fee in the amounts and on the dates provided in the Fee Letter.

Arrangement Fee. In consideration of Bank’s and BAS’s arrangement of the credit facility referenced herein, Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay Bank and BAS an arrangement fee as provided in the Fee Letter.

General Provisions. All fees shall be fully earned by the identified recipient thereof pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Agreement and the Fee Letter on the due date thereof (and, in the case of Letters of Credit, upon each issuance, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit) and, except as otherwise set forth herein or required by Applicable Law, shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. All fees provided for in Section 3.2 are and shall be deemed to be compensation for services and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money.

Computation of Interest and Fees. All fees and other charges provided for in this Agreement that are calculated as a per annum percentage of any amount and all interest shall be calculated daily and shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of three hundred sixty (360) days. For purposes of computing interest and other charges hereunder, all Payment Items and other forms of payment received by Administrative Agent shall be deemed applied by Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations (subject to final payment of such items) on the Business Day that Administrative Agent receives such items in immediately available funds in the Payment Account, and Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have received such Payment Item on the date specified in Section 5.7 hereof.

2.2. Reimbursement Obligations.

2.2.1. Borrowers shall reimburse Agents (and during any period that an Event of Default exists, each Lender) for:

(i) all reasonable legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting and other fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent (and during any period that an Event of Default exists, any Lender) in connection with (a) the negotiation and preparation of any of the Credit Documents or

any amendment or modification thereto; (b) the administration of the Credit Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, subject to Section 3.2.4 hereof; and (c) any inspection of or audits conducted with respect to any Borrower’s books and records or any of the Collateral; and

(ii) all legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting and other fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent (and during any period that an Event of Default exists, any Lender) in connection with: (a) any effort to verify, protect, appraise (subject to Section 3.2.4 hereof), preserve, or restore any of the Collateral or to collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of or realize upon any of the Collateral; (b) any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by or against any Agent, any Lender, any Borrower or any other Person) in any way arising out of or relating to any of the Collateral (or the validity, perfection or priority of any of Administrative Agent’s Liens thereon), any of the Credit Documents or the validity, allowance or amount of any of the Obligations (unless such litigation is between Borrowers and/or Agents and/or Lenders and a court having jurisdiction renders a final, non-appealable judgment against Agents and/or Lenders in which event Borrowers shall not be liable for, as applicable, Agents’ or Lenders’ costs of such litigation); (c) the protection or enforcement or any rights or remedies of any Agent or any Lender in any Insolvency Proceeding; (d) any other action taken by any Agent or any Lender to enforce any of the rights or remedies of any Agent or such Lender against any Borrower or any Account Debtors to enforce collection of any of the Obligations or payments with respect to any of the Collateral; (e) any waiver of any Default or Event of Default under any of the Credit Documents, or any restructuring or forbearance with respect thereto; and (f) any action taken to perfect or maintain the perfection or priority of any of Administrative Agent’s Liens with respect to any of the Collateral. All amounts chargeable to Borrowers under this Section 3.4 shall constitute Obligations that are secured by all of the Collateral and shall be payable on demand to Administrative Agent. Borrowers also shall reimburse Administrative Agent for expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in its administration of any of the Collateral to the extent and in the manner provided in Section 8 hereof or in any of the other Credit Documents. The foregoing shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit, any other provision of any of the Credit Documents regarding the reimbursement by Borrowers of costs, expenses or liabilities suffered or incurred by any Agent or any Lender.

2.2.2. If at any time, in connection with the administration of the Credit Documents or the normal day-to-day operations and maintenance of the Loans, Administrative Agent or (with the consent of Administrative Agent) BAS or any Lender shall agree to indemnify any Person (including Bank) against losses or damages that such Person may suffer or incur in its dealings or transactions with Borrowers, or shall guarantee or provide assurance of payment or performance of any liability or obligation of Borrowers to such Person, including with respect to Banking Relationship Debt, then the Contingent Obligation of any Agent or any Lender providing any such indemnity, guaranty or other assurance of payment or performance, together with any payment made or liability incurred by any Agent or any Lender in connection therewith, shall constitute Obligations that are secured by the Collateral and Borrowers shall repay, on demand, any amount so paid or any liability incurred by any Agent or any Lender in connection with any such indemnity, guaranty or assurance, except that repayment with respect to any LC Support shall be due on the Reimbursement Date as provided in Section 2.3.1(iii). Nothing herein shall be construed to impose upon any Agent or any Lender any obligation to provide any such indemnity, guaranty or assurance except to the extent provided in Section 2.3 hereof. Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to notify Borrower Agent of such indemnity, guaranty or assurance to the extent that such indemnity, guaranty or assurance has not otherwise been expressly requested by Borrowers.

Bank Charges. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, on demand, any and all fees, costs or expenses which Administrative Agent or any Lender pays to a bank or other similar institution (including any fees paid by Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Participant) arising out of or in connection with (i) the forwarding to a Borrower or any other Person on behalf of Borrower by

Administrative Agent or any Lender of proceeds of Loans made by Lenders to a Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the depositing for collection by Administrative Agent or any Lender of any Payment Item received or delivered to Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of the Obligations. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent may charge such costs, fees and expenses to Borrowers based upon Administrative Agent’s good faith estimate of such costs, fees and expenses as they are incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender.

Illegality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if (i) any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof shall make it unlawful for a Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to a LIBOR Loan or (ii) at any time such Lender determines that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date hereof which adversely affects the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market, then such Lender shall give after such determination Administrative Agent and any Borrower prompt notice thereof and may thereafter (1) declare that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender, whereupon any request by a Borrower for a LIBOR Loan from such Lender shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan unless such Lender’s declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn (which declaration shall be withdrawn promptly after the cessation of the circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) above); and (2) require that all outstanding LIBOR Loans made by such Lender be converted to Base Rate Loans, under the circumstances of clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 3.6 insofar as such Lender determines the continuance of LIBOR Loans to be impracticable, in which event all such LIBOR Loans of such Lender shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans as of the date of any Borrower’s receipt of the aforesaid notice from such Lender.

Increased Costs. If, by reason of (a) the introduction after the date hereof of or any change (including any change by way of imposition or increase of Statutory Reserves or other reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any applicable law or regulation, or (b) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or quasi-Governmental Authority exercising control over banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having the force of law):

(i) any Lender shall be subject after the date hereof to any Tax, duty or other charge with respect to any LIBOR Loan or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans, or a change shall result in the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on its LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans (except for changes in the rate of Tax on or determined by reference to the overall net income or gross receipts of such Lender imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s principal executive office is located); or

(ii) any reserve (including any imposed by the Board of Governors), special deposits or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender shall be imposed or deemed applicable or any other condition affecting its LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans shall be imposed on such Lender or the London interbank market;

and as a result thereof there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining LIBOR Loans (except to the extent already included in the determination of the applicable Adjusted LIBOR Rate for LIBOR Loans), or there shall be a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender, then such Lender shall, promptly after determining the existence or amount of any such increased costs for which such Lender seeks payment hereunder, give Borrower Agent notice thereof and Borrowers shall from time to time, upon delivery of a certificate from and

demand by such Lender (with a copy of such certificate to Administrative Agent), at Borrower Agent’s option either (i) pay to Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, within five (5) Business Days after the date specified in such notice and demand, an additional amount sufficient to indemnify such Lender against such increased costs, or (ii) convert such LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan. A certificate as to the amount of such increased costs, submitted to Borrowers by such Lender, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

If any Lender shall advise Administrative Agent at any time that, because of the circumstances described hereinabove in this Section 3.7 or any other circumstances arising after the date of this Agreement affecting such Lender or the London interbank market or such Lender’s or Bank’s position in such market, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, as determined by Administrative Agent, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding LIBOR Loans, then, and in any such event:

(i) Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrowers and Lenders of such event;

(ii) Borrowers’ right to request and such Lender’s obligation to make LIBOR Loans shall be immediately suspended and Borrowers’ right to continue a LIBOR Loan as such beyond the then applicable Interest Period shall also be suspended, until each condition giving rise to such suspension no longer exists; and

(iii) such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of the requested Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, which Base Rate Loan shall, for all purposes, be considered part of such Borrowing.

Any certificate provided under this Section 3.7 shall comply with the requirements therefor specified in Section 3.8. For purposes of this Section 3.7, all references to a Lender shall be deemed to include any bank holding company or bank parent of such Lender.

Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines that after the date hereof (a) the adoption of any Applicable Law regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies or the subsidiaries thereof, (b) any change in the interpretation or administration of any such Applicable Law by any Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (c) compliance by such Lender or its holding company with any request or directive of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s capital to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved (taking into consideration such Lender’s and its holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy immediately before such adoption, change or compliance and assuming that such Lender’s capital was fully utilized prior to such adoption, change or compliance) but for such adoption, change or compliance as a consequence of such Lender’s commitment to make the Loans pursuant hereto by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material:

(i) Administrative Agent shall promptly, after its receipt of a certificate from such Lender setting forth such Lender’s determination of such occurrence, give notice thereof to Borrowers and Lenders; and

(ii) Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of such Lender, as an additional fee from time to time, on demand, such amount as such Lender certifies to be the amount reasonably calculated to compensate such Lender for such reduction.

A certificate of such Lender claiming entitlement to compensation as set forth above (or in Section 3.7) will be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Such certificate will set forth the nature of the occurrence giving rise to such compensation, the additional amount or amounts to be paid to such Lender (including the basis for such Lender’s determination of such amount), the method by which such amounts were determined, and a certification by such Lender that it has claimed entitlement to such compensation from other borrowers to whom it has outstanding loans who are similarly situated to Borrowers. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution method. For purposes of this Section 3.8 all references to a Lender shall be deemed to include any bank holding company or bank parent of such Lender.

Mitigation. Each Lender agrees that, with reasonable promptness after such Lender becomes aware that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Sections 3.6, 3.7 or 3.8, or is or has become subject to U.S. or other withholding taxes payable by any Borrower in respect of its Loans, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with any internal policy of such Lender or any applicable legal or regulatory restriction, (i) use all reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans of such Lender through another lending office of such Lender, or (ii) take such other reasonable measures, if, as a result thereof, the circumstances which would relieve Borrowers from their obligations to pay such additional amounts (or reduce the amount of such payments), or such withholding taxes would be reduced, and if the making, funding or maintaining of such Commitment or Loans 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 Loans or the interests of such Lender.

Funding Losses. If for any reason (other than due to a default by a Lender or as a result of a Lender’s refusal to honor a LIBOR Loan request due to circumstances described in Section 3.6 or 3.7 hereof) a Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, LIBOR Loans does not occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/ Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), or if any repayment (including any conversions pursuant to Section 3.1.2 hereof) of any of its LIBOR Loans occurs on a date that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or if for any reason Borrowers default in their obligation to repay LIBOR Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement, then Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the affected Lenders an amount (if a positive number) computed pursuant to the following formula:


		L = (R - T) x P x D
		360

		where

		L =		amount payable

		R =		interest rate applicable to the LIBOR Loan unborrowed or prepaid

		T =		effective interest rate per annum at which any readily marketable bond or other obligations of the United States, selected at Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, maturing on or nearest the last day of the then applicable or requested Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan and in approximately the same amount as such LIBOR Loan, can be purchased by Administrative Agent on the day of such payment of principal or failure to borrow

		P =		the amount of principal paid or the amount of the LIBOR Loan requested or to have been continued or converted

		D =		the number of days remaining in the Interest Period as of the date of such prepayment or the number of days in the requested Interest Period

Borrowers shall pay such amount upon presentation by Administrative Agent of a statement setting forth the amount and Administrative Agent’s calculation thereof pursuant hereto, which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error. For purposes of this Section 3.10, all references to a Lender shall be deemed to include any bank holding company or bank parent of such Lender.

Maximum Interest. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Credit Documents, in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts that are contracted for, charged or received by Agents and Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents and that are deemed interest under Applicable Law exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law. No agreements, conditions, provisions or stipulations contained in this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or the exercise by Administrative Agent of the right to accelerate the payment or the maturity of all or any portion of the Obligations, or the exercise of any option whatsoever contained in any of the Credit Documents, or the prepayment by Borrowers of any of the Obligations, or the occurrence of any contingency whatsoever, shall entitle any Agent or any Lender to charge or receive in any event, interest or any charges, amounts, premiums or fees deemed interest by Applicable Law (such interest, charges, amounts, premiums and fees referred to herein collectively as “Interest”) in excess of the Maximum Rate and in no event shall Borrowers be obligated to pay Interest exceeding such Maximum Rate, and all agreements, conditions or stipulations, if any, which may in any event or contingency whatsoever operate to bind, obligate or compel Borrowers to pay Interest exceeding the Maximum Rate shall be without binding force or effect, at law or in equity, to the extent only of the excess of Interest over such Maximum Rate. If any Interest is charged or received in excess of the Maximum Rate (“Excess”), each Borrower acknowledges and stipulates that any such charge or receipt shall be the result of an accident and bona fide error, and such Excess, to the extent received, shall be applied first to reduce the principal Obligations and the balance, if any, returned to Borrowers, it being the intent of the parties hereto not to enter into a usurious or otherwise illegal relationship. The right to accelerate the maturity of any of the Obligations does not include the right to accelerate any Interest that has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and Agents and Lenders do not intend to collect any unearned Interest in the event of any such acceleration. Each Borrower recognizes that, with fluctuations in the rates of interest set forth in Section 3.1.1 of this Agreement, and the Maximum Rate, such an unintentional result could inadvertently occur. All monies paid to any Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents, whether at maturity or by

prepayment, shall be subject to any rebate of unearned Interest as and to the extent required by Applicable Law. By the execution of this Agreement, each Borrower covenants that (i) the credit or return of any Excess shall constitute the acceptance by such Borrower of such Excess, and (ii) such Borrower shall not seek or pursue any other remedy, legal or equitable, against any Agent or any Lender, based in whole or in part upon contracting for, charging or receiving any Interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. For the purpose of determining whether or not any Excess has been contracted for, charged or received by any Agent or any Lender, all Interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from Borrowers in connection with any of the Credit Documents shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts throughout the full term of the Obligations. Borrowers, Agents and Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as Interest and (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof. The provisions of this Section 3.11 shall be deemed to be incorporated into every Credit Document (whether or not any provision of this Section is referred to therein). All such Credit Documents and communications relating to any Interest owed by Borrowers and all figures set forth therein shall, for the sole purpose of computing the extent of Obligations, be automatically recomputed by Borrowers, and by any court considering the same, to give effect to the adjustments or credits required by this Section 3.11.

SECTION 3. LOAN ADMINISTRATION

Manner of Borrowing and Funding Revolver Loans. Borrowings under the Commitments established pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof shall be made and funded as follows:

3.1.1. Notice of Borrowing.

(i) Whenever Borrowers desire to make a Borrowing under Section 2.1 of this Agreement (other than a Borrowing resulting from a conversion or continuation pursuant to Section 3.1.2), Borrowers shall give Administrative Agent prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of such Borrowing request (a “Notice of Borrowing”), which shall be in the form of Exhibit D annexed hereto and signed by an authorized officer of Borrower Agent. Such Notice of Borrowing shall be given by Borrowers no later than 1:00 p.m. at the office of Administrative Agent designated by Administrative Agent from time to time (a) on the Business Day of the requested funding date of such Borrowing, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and (b) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the requested funding date of such Borrowing, in the case of LIBOR Loans. Notices received after 1:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Revolver Loans made by Lenders on the Closing Date shall be in excess of $250,000 and shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless Borrower Agent provides the notice described above for LIBOR Loans prior to the Closing Date and thereafter may be made or continued as or converted into Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans. Each Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice thereof) shall be irrevocable and shall specify (a) the principal amount of the Borrowing, (b) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (c) whether the Borrowing is to consist of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, (d) in the case of LIBOR Loans, the duration of the Interest Period to be applicable thereto, and (e) the account of Borrowers to which the proceeds of such Borrowing are to be disbursed. Borrowers may not request any LIBOR Loans if a Default or Event of Default exists.

(ii) Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrowers, the becoming due of any amount required to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations (whether as principal, accrued interest, fees or other charges, including the repayment of any LC Obligations and any amounts owed to any Affiliate of Administrative Agent) shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request (without any requirement for the submission of a Notice of Borrowing) for Revolver

Loans on the due date of, and in an aggregate amount required to pay, such Obligations, and the proceeds of such Revolver Loans may be disbursed by way of direct payment of the relevant Obligation and shall bear interest as Base Rate Loans. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to Borrowers to honor any deemed request for a Revolver Loan on or after the Commitment Termination Date, when an Out-of-Formula Condition exists or would result therefrom, or when any applicable condition precedent set forth in Section 11 hereof is not satisfied, but may do so in the discretion of Administrative Agent (or at the direction of the Required Lenders) and without regard to the existence of, and without being deemed to have waived, any Default or Event of Default and regardless of whether such Revolver Loan is funded after the Commitment Termination Date.

(iii) If Borrowers elect to establish a Controlled Disbursement Account, then the presentation for payment by the Controlled Disbursement Bank of any check or other item of payment drawn on the Controlled Disbursement Account at a time when there are insufficient funds in such account to cover such check shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request (without any requirement for the submission of a Notice of Borrowing) for Revolver Loans on the date of such presentation and in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the items presented for payment, and the proceeds of such Revolver Loans may be disbursed to the Controlled Disbursement Account and shall bear interest as Base Rate Loans. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to honor any deemed request for a Revolver Loan on or after the Commitment Termination Date or when an Out-of-Formula Condition exists or would result therefrom or when any condition precedent in Section 11 hereof is not satisfied, but may do so in the discretion of Administrative Agent (or at the direction of the Required Lenders) and without regard to the existence of, and without being deemed to have waived, any Default or Event of Default and regardless of whether such Revolver Loan is funded after the Commitment Termination Date.

(iv) As an accommodation to Borrowers, Agents and Lenders may permit telephonic requests for Borrowings and electronic transmittal of instructions, authorizations, notices, certificates, agreements or reports to Administrative Agent by Borrowers; provided, however, that Borrowers shall confirm each such telephonic request for a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans by delivery of the required Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent by facsimile transmission promptly, but in no event later than 5:00 p.m. on the same day. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability to Borrowers for any loss or damage suffered by Borrowers as a result of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s good faith honoring of any requests, execution of any instructions, authorizations or agreements or reliance on any reports communicated to it telephonically or electronically and purporting to have been sent to Administrative Agent or Lenders by any Borrower.

Fundings by Lenders. Subject to its receipt of notice from Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing as provided in Section 4.1.1(i) (except in the case of a deemed request by a Borrower for a Revolver Loan as provided in Sections 4.1.1(ii) or 4.1.1(iii) or 4.1.3(ii) hereof, in which event no Notice of Borrowing need be submitted), each Lender shall timely honor its Revolver Commitment by funding its Pro Rata share of each Borrowing of Revolver Loans that is properly requested by such Borrower and that such Borrower is entitled to receive under the Loan Agreement. Administrative Agent shall endeavor to notify Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 4.1.1(ii) or 4.1.1(iii) hereof), by 12:00 noon on the proposed funding date (in the case of Base Rate Loans) or by 3:00 p.m. at least two (2) Business Days before the proposed funding date (in the case of LIBOR Loans). Each Lender shall deposit with Administrative Agent an amount equal to its Pro Rata share of the Borrowing requested or deemed requested by such Borrower at Administrative Agent’s designated bank in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. on the

date of funding of such Borrowing, unless Administrative Agent’s notice to Lenders is received after 12:00 noon on the proposed funding date of a Base Rate Loan, in which event Lenders shall deposit with Administrative Agent their respective Pro Rata shares of the requested Borrowing on or before 11:00 a.m. of the next Business Day. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from Lenders, Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of the Revolver Loans received by it available to a Borrower by disbursing such proceeds in accordance with such Borrower’s disbursement instructions set forth in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability on account of any delay by any bank or other depository institution in treating the proceeds of any Revolver Loan as collected funds or any delay in receipt, or any loss, of funds that constitute a Revolver Loan, the wire transfer of which was initiated by Administrative Agent in accordance with wiring instructions provided to Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Lender prior to the proposed time of funding that such Lender does not intend to deposit with Administrative Agent an amount equal such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the requested Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 4.1.1(ii) or 4.1.1(iii) hereof), Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent may in its discretion disburse a corresponding amount to Borrowers on the applicable funding date. If a Lender’s Pro Rata share of such Borrowing is not in fact deposited with Administrative Agent, then, if Administrative Agent has disbursed to a Borrower an amount corresponding to such share, then such Lender agrees to pay, and in addition Borrowers agree to repay, to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is disbursed by Administrative Agent to or for the benefit of Borrowers until the date such amount is paid or repaid to Administrative Agent, (a) in the case of Borrowers, at the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing and (b) in the case of such Lender, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender repays to Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute a Revolver Loan, and if both such Lender and Borrowers shall have repaid such corresponding amount, Administrative Agent shall promptly return to Borrowers such corresponding amount in same day funds. A notice from Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this Section 4.1.2 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

3.1.2. Settlement and Settlement Loans.

(i) In order to facilitate the administration of the Revolver Loans under this Agreement, Lenders agree (which agreement shall be solely between Lenders and Agents and shall not be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower) that settlement among them with respect to the Revolver Loans may take place on a periodic basis on dates determined from time to time by Administrative Agent (each a “Settlement Date”), which may occur before or after the occurrence or during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default and whether or not all of the conditions set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement have been met. On each Settlement Date, payment shall be made by or to each Lender in the manner provided herein and in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered by Administrative Agent to Lenders with respect to such Settlement Date so that, as of each Settlement Date and after giving effect to the transaction to take place on such Settlement Date, each Lender shall hold its Pro Rata share of all Revolver Loans and participations in LC Obligations. Administrative Agent shall request settlement with the Lenders on a basis not less frequently than once every five (5) Business Days.

(ii) Between Settlement Dates, Administrative Agent may request Bank to advance, and Bank may, but shall in no event be obligated to, advance to Borrowers out of Bank’s own funds the entire principal amount of any Borrowing of Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans requested or deemed requested pursuant to this Agreement (any such Revolver Loan funded exclusively by Bank being referred to as a “Settlement Loan”). Each Settlement Loan shall constitute a Revolver Loan hereunder and shall be subject to all of the terms, conditions and

security applicable to other Revolver Loans, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to Bank solely for its own account. The obligation of Borrowers to repay such Settlement Loans to Bank shall be evidenced by the records of Bank and need not be evidenced by any promissory note. Administrative Agent shall not request Bank to make any Settlement Loan if (A) Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from any Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 11 hereof will not be satisfied on the requested funding date for the applicable Borrowing or (B) the requested Borrowing would exceed the amount of Availability on the funding date or would cause the then outstanding principal balance of all Settlement Loans to exceed $15,000,000. Bank shall not be required to determine whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 11 hereof have been satisfied or the requested Borrowing would exceed the amount of Availability on the funding date applicable thereto prior to making, in its sole discretion, any Settlement Loan. On each Settlement Date, or, if earlier, upon demand by Administrative Agent for payment thereof, the then outstanding Settlement Loans shall be immediately due and payable. As provided in Section 4.1.1(ii), Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested (without the necessity of submitting any Notice of Borrowing) Revolver Loans to be made on each Settlement Date in the amount of all outstanding Settlement Loans and to have Administrative Agent cause the proceeds of such Revolver Loans to be applied to the repayment of such Settlement Loans and interest accrued thereon. Agent shall notify the Lenders of the outstanding balance of Revolver Loans prior to 1:30 p.m. on each Settlement Date and each Lender (other than Bank) shall deposit with Administrative Agent (without setoff, counterclaim or reduction of any kind) an amount equal to its Pro Rata share of the amount of Revolver Loans deemed requested in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. on such Settlement Date. Each Lender’s obligation to make such deposit with Administrative Agent shall be absolute and unconditional and without regard to whether any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 11 hereof are satisfied, any Out-of-Formula Condition exists or the Commitment Termination Date has occurred. If, as the result of the commencement by or against Borrowers of any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, any Settlement Loan may not be repaid by the funding by Lenders of Revolver Loans, then each Lender (other than Bank) shall be deemed to have purchased a participating interest in any unpaid Settlement Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata share of such Settlement Loan and shall transfer to Bank, in immediately available funds not later than the second Business Day after Bank’s request therefor, the amount of such Lender’s participation. The proceeds of Settlement Loans may be used solely for purposes for which Revolver Loans generally may be used in accordance with Section 2.1.3 hereof. If any amounts received by Bank in respect of any Settlement Loans are later required to be returned or repaid by Bank to Borrowers or their respective representatives or successors-in-interest, whether by court order, settlement or otherwise, the other Lenders shall, upon demand by Bank with notice to Administrative Agent, pay to Administrative Agent for the account of Bank, an amount equal to each other Lender’s Pro Rata share of all such amounts required to be returned by Bank.

Disbursement Authorization. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each Revolver Loan requested by any Borrower, or deemed to be requested pursuant to Section 4.1.1 or Section 4.1.3(ii), as follows: (i) the proceeds of each Revolver Loan requested under Section 4.1.1(i) shall be disbursed by Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of the written disbursement letter from Borrowers in the case of the initial Borrowing, and, in the case of each subsequent Borrowing, by wire transfer to such bank account as may be agreed upon by Borrowers and Administrative Agent from time to time or elsewhere if pursuant to a written direction from any Borrower; and (ii) the proceeds of each Revolver Loan requested under Section 4.1.1(ii) or Section 4.1.3(ii) shall be disbursed by Administrative Agent by way of direct payment of the relevant interest or other Obligation. Any Loan proceeds received by any Borrower or in payment of any of the Obligations shall be deemed to have been received by all Borrowers.

Defaulting Lender. If any Lender shall, at any time, fail to make any payment to Administrative Agent or Bank that is required hereunder, Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, retain payments that would otherwise be made to such defaulting Lender hereunder and apply such payments to such defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations hereunder, at such time, and in such order, as Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion. With respect to the payment of any funds from Administrative Agent to a Lender or from a Lender to Administrative Agent, the party failing to make the full payment when due pursuant to the terms hereof shall, upon demand by the other party, pay such amount together with interest on such amount at the Federal Funds Rate. The failure of any Lender to fund its portion of any Revolver Loan or payment in respect of an LC Obligation shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, to fund its portion of the Revolver Loan or payment in respect of an LC Obligation on the date of Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Revolver Loan or payment in respect of an LC Obligation to be made by such Lender on the date of any Borrowing. Solely as among the Lenders and solely for purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to any of the Credit Documents, Collateral or any Obligations and determining a defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata share of payments and proceeds of Collateral pending such defaulting Lender’s cure of its defaults hereunder, a defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero (0). The provisions of this Section 4.2 shall be solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and may not be enforced by Borrowers.

3.2. Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Loans.

Number of LIBOR Loans. In no event may the number of LIBOR Loans outstanding at any time to any Lender exceed ten (10).

Minimum Amounts. Each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans pursuant to Section 4.1.1(i), and each continuation of or conversion to LIBOR Loans pursuant to Section 3.1.2 hereof, shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 (unless otherwise agreed to by Administrative Agent and except with respect the Term Loans) in excess of that amount.

LIBOR Lending Office. Each Lender’s initial LIBOR Lending Office is set forth on Schedule 2 hereof. Each Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time to designate a different office of itself or of any Affiliate as such Lender’s LIBOR Lending Office, and to transfer any outstanding LIBOR Loans to such LIBOR Lending Office. No such designation or transfer shall result in any liability on the part of Borrowers for increased costs or expenses resulting solely from such designation or transfer. Increased costs for expenses resulting from a change in Applicable Law occurring subsequent to any such designation or transfer, provided that such change in applicable law was not in effect at the time of such designation or transfer, shall be deemed not to result solely from such designation or transfer.

Funding of LIBOR Loans. Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its obligation to make, continue or convert LIBOR Loans hereunder by causing one of its foreign branches or Affiliates (or an international banking facility created by such Lender) to make or maintain such LIBOR Loans; provided, however, that such LIBOR Loans shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and to be held by such Lender, and the obligation of Borrowers to repay such LIBOR Loans shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such foreign branch, Affiliate or international banking facility. The calculation of all amounts payable to Lender under Section 3.7 and 3.10 shall be made as if each Lender had actually funded or committed to fund its LIBOR Loan through the purchase of an underlying deposit in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans; provided, however, each Lender may fund its LIBOR Loans in any manner it deems fit and the foregoing presumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under Section 3.7 and Section 3.10.

Borrower Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints PNA and PNA agrees to act under this Agreement, as the agent and representative of itself and each other Borrower for all purposes under this Agreement (in such capacity, “Borrower Agent”), including requesting Borrowings, selecting whether any Loan or portion thereof is to bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan, and receiving account statements and other notices and communications to Borrowers (or any of them) from Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion/Continuation, disbursement instructions, reports, information, Borrowing Base Certificate or any other notice or communication made or given by Borrower Agent], whether in its own name, on behalf of any Borrower or on behalf of “the Borrowers,” and Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to make any inquiry or request any confirmation from or on behalf of any other Borrower as to the binding effect on such Borrower of any such Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion Continuation, instruction, report, information, Borrowing Base Certificate or other notice or communication from Borrower Agent, nor shall the joint and several character of Borrowers’ liability for the Obligations be affected. Administrative Agent may maintain a single Loan Account in the name of “PNA Group, Inc.” hereunder, and each Borrower expressly agrees to such arrangement and confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several character of such Borrower’s liability for the Obligations.

All Loans to Constitute One Obligation. The Loans shall constitute one general obligation of Borrowers and (unless otherwise expressly provided in any Security Document) shall be secured by Administrative Agent’s Lien upon all of the Collateral; provided, however, that each Agent and each Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of each Borrower and the holder of a separate claim against each Borrower to the extent of any Obligations jointly and severally owed by Borrowers to such Agent or such Lender.

SECTION 4. PAYMENTS

General Payment Provisions. All payments (including all prepayments) of principal of and interest on the Loans, LC Obligations and other Obligations that are payable to any Agent or any Lender shall be made to Administrative Agent in Dollars without any offset or counterclaim and free and clear of (and without deduction for) any present or future Taxes, and, with respect to payments made other than by application of balances in the Payment Account, in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon on the due date (and payment made after such time on the due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). All payments received by Administrative Agent shall be distributed by Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 5.6 hereof, subject to the rights of offset that Administrative Agent may have as to amounts otherwise to be remitted to a particular Lender by reason of amounts due Administrative Agent from such Lender under any of the Credit Documents.

4.1. Repayment of Revolver Loans.

Payment of Principal. The outstanding principal amounts with respect to the Revolver Loans shall be repaid as follows:

(i) Any portion of the Revolver Loans consisting of the principal amount of Base Rate Loans shall be paid by Borrowers to Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders (or, in the case of Settlement Loans, for the sole benefit of Bank) unless timely converted to a LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Agreement, immediately upon (a) each receipt by Administrative Agent, any Lender or Borrowers of any proceeds of any of the Accounts or

Inventory, to the extent of such proceeds, (b) the Commitment Termination Date, and (c) in the case of Settlement Loans, the earlier of Bank’s demand for payment or on each Settlement Date with respect to all Settlement Loans outstanding on such date.

(ii) Any portion of the Revolver Loans consisting of the principal amount of LIBOR Loans shall be paid by Borrowers to Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, unless converted to a Base Rate Loan or continued as a LIBOR Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, immediately upon (a) the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (b) the Commitment Termination Date. In no event shall Borrowers be authorized to make a voluntary prepayment with respect to any Revolver Loan outstanding as a LIBOR Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless Borrowers pay to Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, concurrently with any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan, any amount due Administrative Agent and Lenders under Section 3.10 hereof as a consequence of such prepayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2.1(ii), if, on any date that Administrative Agent receives proceeds of any of the Accounts or Inventory, there are no Revolver Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans, Administrative Agent may either hold such proceeds as cash security for the timely payment of the Obligations or apply such proceeds to any outstanding Revolver Loans bearing interest as LIBOR Loans as the same become due and payable (whether at the end of the applicable Interest Periods or on the Commitment Termination Date).

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if an Out-of-Formula Condition shall exist, Borrowers shall, on the sooner to occur of Administrative Agent’s demand or the first Business Day after any Borrower has obtained knowledge of such Out-of-Formula Condition, repay the outstanding Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolver Loans by an amount equal to such excess; and, if such payment of Base Rate Loans is not sufficient to eliminate the Out-of-Formula Condition, then Borrowers shall immediately deposit with Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, for application to any outstanding Revolver Loans bearing interest as LIBOR Loans as the same become due and payable (whether at the end of the applicable Interest Periods or on the Commitment Termination Date) cash in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Out-of-Formula Condition, and Administrative Agent may (a) hold such deposit as cash security pending disbursement of same to Lenders for application to the Obligations, or (b) if a Default or Event of Default exists, immediately apply such proceeds to the payment of the Obligations, including the Revolver Loans outstanding as LIBOR Loans (in which event Borrowers shall also pay to Administrative Agent for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders any amounts required by Section 3.10 to be paid by reason of the prepayment of a LIBOR Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto).

Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on the Revolver Loans shall be due and payable on (i) the first day of each month (for the immediately preceding month), computed through the last day of the preceding month, with respect to any Revolver Loan (that is a Base Rate Loan) and (ii) the last day of the applicable Interest Period in the case of a LIBOR Loan; provided, that interest on any LIBOR Loan that has an Interest Period of three (3) months or more also shall be paid at the end of each three (3) month period contained in such Interest Period. Accrued interest shall also be paid by Borrowers on the Commitment Termination Date. With respect to any Base Rate Loan converted into a LIBOR Loan pursuant to Section 3.1.2 on a day when interest would not otherwise have been payable with respect to such Base Rate Loan, accrued interest to the date of such conversion on the amount of such Base Rate Loan so converted shall be paid on the conversion date.

4.2. Repayment of Term Loan Advances.

Payment of Principal. The principal amount of each Term Note evidencing a Term Loan 1 Advance shall be paid in consecutive quarterly installments payable no later than two (2) Business Days following the first Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter, commencing on July 1, 2006 and ending on April 1, 2011, which shall be in an amount equal to the holder’s Pro Rata share of (a) $1,166,667 per installment during the period commencing on July 1, 2006 and ending on June 30, 2008, (b) $1,166,666 per installment during the period commencing on July 1, 2008 and ending on June 30, 2009 and (c) $3,250,000 per installment during the period commencing on July 1, 2009 and ending on April 1, 2011, and the final installment of which shall be in an amount equal to such holder’s Pro Rata share of the remaining principal balance of the Term Loan 1 and shall be payable on May 8, 2011. The principal amount of each Term Note evidencing a Term Loan 2 Advance shall be paid in consecutive quarterly installments payable no later than two (2) Business Days following the first Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter, commencing on July 1, 2006 and ending on June 30, 2009, which shall be in an amount equal to the holder’s Pro Rata share of (a) $2,083,333 per installment during the period commencing on July 1, 2006 and ending on June 30, 2008, and (b) $2,083,334 per installment during the period commencing on July 1, 2008 and ending on June 30, 2009. Each installment shall be payable to Administrative Agent for the account and Pro Rata benefit of each Lender. Each Term Loan Advance, if not sooner paid, shall be due and payable in full on the Commitment Termination Date.

Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on each Term Loan Advance shall be due and payable on (i) the first calendar day of each month for the immediately preceding month, computed through the last calendar day of the preceding month, with respect to that portion of the Term Loan 1 Advance that bears interest as a Base Rate Loan, (ii) the last day of the applicable Interest Period in the case of the Term Loan 2 Advance and any portion of the Term Loan 1 Advance that is a LIBOR Loan; provided, that interest on any LIBOR Loan that has an Interest Period of three (3) months or more also shall be paid at the end of each three (3) month period contained in such Interest Period and (iii) the date of any prepayment of Term Loan Advances. Accrued interest shall also be paid by Borrowers as and when payable in Section 5.3.4 in connection with any prepayment of Term Loan Advances and on the Commitment Termination Date. With respect to any Base Rate Loan converted into a LIBOR Loan pursuant to Section 3.1.2 on a day when interest would not otherwise have been payable with respect to such Base Rate Loan, accrued interest to the date of such conversion on the amount of such Base Rate Loan so converted shall be paid on the conversion date.

Mandatory Prepayment of Term Loan Advances. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to prepay the entire unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan Advances, and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, upon the Commitment Termination Date. Borrowers shall also be jointly and severally required to prepay the Term Loan Advances as follows:

(i) Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loan Advances in connection with dispositions of Equipment by Borrowers, as and when required by Section 8.4.2; and

(ii) Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loan Advances from the Net Disposition Proceeds of insurance or condemnation awards paid in respect of any Equipment or Real Estate unless Borrowers are authorized to use such Net Disposition Proceeds pursuant to Section 8.1.2(ii).

Optional Prepayments of Term Loan Advances. Borrowers may, at their option, prepay any portion of the Term Loan 1 Advances consisting of Base Rate Loans in whole at any time or in part from time to time, in amounts aggregating $500,000 or any greater integral multiple of $100,000 (or if less, the remaining principal amount), by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with interest

accrued or unpaid thereon to the date of prepayment. Term Loan 2 Advances and any portion of the Term Loan 1 Advances consisting of LIBOR Loans may be prepaid, at Borrowers’ option, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, in amounts aggregating $1,000,000 or any greater integral multiple of $250,000 (or if less, the remaining principal amount), together with any applicable charges pursuant to Section 3.10 and otherwise, with no prepayment penalty or premium. Borrowers shall give written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent of any intended prepayment not less than one (1) Business Day prior to any prepayment of Base Rate Loans and not less than two (2) Business Days prior to any prepayment of LIBOR Loans. Such notice, once given, shall be irrevocable and, upon receipt of any such notice of optional prepayment, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s share of the prepayment.

Application of Prepayments. Each prepayment of Term Loan Advances shall be remitted by Borrowers to Administrative Agent, applied to the Term Loan Advances on a ratable basis and distributed by Administrative Agent to each Lender on a Pro Rata basis. Each Lender shall apply its share of each prepayment, first to accrued but unpaid interest, and the balance to installments of principal in the inverse order of their maturities, until such Lender’s Term Loan Advance is Paid in Full; provided, however that on the full payment of Term Loan 2, such payments shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest and the balance to installments of principal on Term Loan 1 on a pro rata basis (and not in the inverse order of maturities), until such Lenders’ Term Loan 1 Advance is Paid in Full. Each Lender shall apply the portion of a prepayment that is to be applied to principal installments first to outstanding Base Rate Loans and then to any outstanding LIBOR Loans with the shortest Interest Periods remaining; but if application to any LIBOR Loans would cause the same to be paid prior to the end of an applicable Interest Period, then, by prior written notice to Lender, Borrowers may elect as to such LIBOR Loan to deliver cash to Administrative Agent in the amount of the required prepayment, to be held by Administrative Agent as Cash Collateral until the end of the applicable Interest Period, at which time Administrative Agent shall disburse such Cash Collateral to Lenders on a Pro Rata basis for application to such LIBOR Loans.

Payment of Other Obligations. The balance of the Obligations requiring the payment of money, including the LC Obligations and Extraordinary Expenses incurred by any Agent or any Lender, shall be repaid by Borrowers to Administrative Agent for allocation among Agents and Lenders as provided in the Credit Documents, or, if no date of payment is otherwise specified in the Credit Documents, on demand.

Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrowers or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that Borrowers make a payment or payments to any Agent or Lenders or any of such Persons receives payment from the proceeds of any Collateral or exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then to the extent of any loss by Agents or Lenders, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been made or received and any such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 5.5 shall survive any termination of the Commitments and Payment in Full of the Obligations.

4.3. Post-Default Allocation of Payments and Collections.

Allocation of Payments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during an Event of Default, all monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by Obligors, realization on Collateral, setoff or otherwise, shall be allocated among Agents and such of the Lenders as

are entitled thereto (and, with respect to monies allocated to Lenders, on a Pro Rata basis unless otherwise provided herein): (i) first, to Administrative Agent to pay principal and accrued interest on any portion of the Revolver Loans which Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender and for which Administrative Agent has not been reimbursed by such Lender or Borrowers; (ii) second, to Bank to pay the principal and accrued interest on any portion of the Settlement Loans outstanding, to be shared with Lenders that have acquired and paid for a participating interest in such Settlement Loans; (iii) third, to the extent that Issuing Bank has not received from any Participating Lender a payment as required by Section 2.3.2 hereof, to Issuing Bank to pay all such required payments from each Participating Lender; (iv) fourth, to Administrative Agent to pay the amount of Extraordinary Expenses and amounts owing to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 15.10 hereof that have not been reimbursed to Administrative Agent by Borrowers or Lenders, together with interest accrued thereon at the rate applicable to Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans; (v) fifth, to Agents to pay any Indemnified Amount that has not been paid to Agents in their capacity as such by Borrowers or Lenders, together with interest accrued thereon at the rate applicable to Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans; (vi) sixth, to Agents to pay any fees due and payable to Agents in their capacity as such; (vii) seventh, to each Lender for any Indemnified Amount that such Lender has paid to Agents and any Extraordinary Expenses that such Lender has reimbursed to such Agent or such Lender has incurred, to the extent that such Lender has not been reimbursed by Borrowers therefor; (viii) eighth, to Issuing Bank to pay principal and interest with respect to LC Obligations (or to the extent any of the LC Obligations are contingent and an Event of Default then exists, deposited in the Cash Collateral Account to provide security for the payment of the LC Obligations), which payment shall be shared with the Participating Lenders in accordance with Section 2.3.2(iii) hereof; (ix) ninth, to Lenders in payment of the unpaid principal and accrued interest in respect of the Loans (other than Settlement Loans); (x) tenth, to the payment of the Hedging Obligations; (xi) eleventh, to the payment of any other Obligations then outstanding (excluding any Banking Relationship Debt other than Hedging Obligations); and (xii) twelfth, to the payment of any Banking Relationship Debt other than Hedging Obligations. Amounts shall be applied to each category of Obligations set forth above until full payment thereof and then to the next category. If amounts are insufficient to satisfy a category, they shall be applied on a pro rata basis among the Obligations in the category. The allocations set forth in this Section 5.6 are solely to determine the rights and priorities of Agents and Lenders as among themselves and may be changed by Agents and Lenders without notice to or the consent or approval of any Borrower or any other Person.

Erroneous Allocation. Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any allocation or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and, if any such allocation or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender to which payment was due but not made shall be to recover from the other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which such other Lenders are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them).

Application of Payments and Collateral Proceeds. All Payment Items received by Administrative Agent by 12:00 noon, Charlotte, North Carolina time, on any Business Day shall be deemed received on that Business Day. All Payment Items received by Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon, Charlotte, North Carolina time, on any Business Day shall be deemed received on the following Business Day. Each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments and Collateral proceeds at any time or times hereafter received by any Agent or any Lender from or on behalf of Borrowers, and each Borrower does hereby irrevocably agree that Administrative Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and Collateral proceeds received at any time or times hereafter by Administrative Agent against the Obligations, in such manner as Administrative Agent may deem advisable in accordance with this Agreement, notwithstanding any entry by Administrative Agent upon any of its books and records; provided, however that unless an Event of Default exists, proceeds received from the Business Interruption Insurance Assignment shall be applied

first to the outstanding Revolver Loans (and Administrative Agent shall have the right to establish an Availability Reserve in equal amount to such proceeds) and then to such other of the Obligations as Administrative Agent may determine. If, as the result of Administrative Agent’s collection of proceeds of Accounts and other Collateral as authorized by Section 8.2.6 a credit balance exists, such credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers, but shall be available to Borrowers at any time or times for so long as no Default or Event of Default exists. Lenders may, at their option, apply such credit balance against any of the Obligations upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default.

4.4. Loan Accounts; the Register; Account Stated.

Loan Accounts. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual and customary practices an account or accounts (a “Loan Account”) evidencing the Debt of Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amount of principal and interest payable to such Lender from time to time hereunder and under each Note payable to such Lender. Any failure of a Lender to record in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers hereunder (or under any Note) to pay any amount owing hereunder to such Lender.

The Register. Administrative Agent shall maintain a register (the “Register”) which shall include a master account and a subsidiary account for each Lender and in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of each Loan comprising such Borrowing and any Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the effective date and amount of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and the parties thereto, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrowers to each Lender hereunder or under the Notes, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by Administrative Agent from Borrowers and each Lender’s share thereof. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers or any Lender at the offices of Administrative Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Any failure of Administrative Agent to record in the Register, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers hereunder (or under any Note) to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans or provide the basis for any claim against Administrative Agent.

Entries Binding. The entries made in the Register and each Loan Account shall constitute rebuttably presumptive evidence of the information contained therein; provided, however, that if a copy of information contained in the Register or any Loan Account is provided to any Person, or any Person inspects the Register or any Loan Account, at any time or from time to time, then the information contained in the Register or the Loan Account, as applicable, shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, unless such Person notifies Administrative Agent in writing within thirty (30) days after such Person’s receipt of such copy or such Person’s inspection of the Register or Loan Account of its intention to dispute the information contained therein.

Gross Up for Taxes. If Borrowers or any Agent shall be required by Applicable Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, (a) the sum payable to any Agent or such Lender shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholding or deductions, such Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions been made, (b) Borrowers shall make such withholding or deductions, (c) Borrowers shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law and (d) Borrowers shall be entitled to any refund due or payable by such relevant taxation authority or other authority as a result of such withholding or deduction, subject to the Lien of Administrative Agent therein.

Withholding Tax Exemption. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of any Foreign Lender, such Foreign Lender agrees that it will deliver to Borrower Agent and Administrative Agent 2 duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any subsequent replacement substitute or form therefor), certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payment under this Agreement and its Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Foreign Lender which so delivers a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI further undertakes to deliver to Borrower Agent and Administrative Agent 2 additional copies of such form (or a successor form) on or before the date that such form expires (currently, three (3) successive calendar years for Form W-8BEN and one (1) calendar year for Form W-8ECI) or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most form so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by Borrower Agent or Administrative Agent, in each case, certifying that such Foreign Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and its Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required that renders all such forms inapplicable or that would prevent such Foreign Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender advises Borrowers and Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income taxes. Until a Foreign Lender fully complies with this Section 5.10, such Foreign Lender shall not be entitled to the gross-up provided under Section 5.9; provided however, that upon such Foreign Lender’s compliance, Foreign Lender shall be entitled to receive retroactively the gross-up if, and to the extent that, such compliance has a retroactive effect.

4.5. Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability.

Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower shall be liable for, on a joint and several basis, and hereby guarantees the timely payment by all other Borrowers of, all of the Loans and other Obligations, regardless of which Borrower actually may have received the proceeds of any Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans received or the manner in which any Agent or any Lender accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records, it being acknowledged and agreed that Loans to any Borrower inure to the mutual benefit of all Borrowers and that Agents and Lenders are relying on the joint and several liability of Borrowers in extending the Loans and other financial accommodations hereunder. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that upon default in the payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of any principal of, or interest owed on, any of the Loans or other Obligations, such Borrower shall forthwith pay the same, without notice or demand.

Unconditional Nature of Liability. Each Borrower’s joint and several liability hereunder with respect to, and guaranty of, the Loans and other Obligations shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity, enforceability, avoidance or subordination of any of the Obligations or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect any of the Obligations from any other Obligor or any Collateral or other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by any Agent or any Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing or securing the payment of any of the Obligations, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other Borrower and delivered to any Agent or any Lender, (iv) the failure by Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect or maintain the perfected status of its security interest in or Lien upon, or to preserve its rights to, any of the Collateral or other security for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations or Administrative Agent’s release of any Collateral or of its Liens upon any Collateral, (v) Agents’ or Lenders’ election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the

Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the release or compromise, in whole or in part, of the liability of any Obligor for the payment of any of the Obligations, (viii) any amendment or modification of any of the Credit Documents or any waiver of a Default or Event of Default, (ix) any increase in the amount of the Obligations beyond any limits imposed herein or in the amount of any interest, fees or other charges payable in connection therewith, or any decrease in the same, (x) the disallowance of all or any portion of any Agent’s or any Lender’s claims against any other Obligor for the repayment of any of the Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (xi) any other circumstance that might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of any Borrower. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Administrative Agent may proceed directly and at once, without notice to any Borrower, against any or all of Borrowers to collect and recover all or any part of the Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Borrower or against any Collateral or other security for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, and each Borrower waives any provision under Applicable Law that might otherwise require Administrative Agent to pursue or exhaust its remedies against any Collateral or Borrower before pursuing another Borrower. Each Borrower consents and agrees that Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

No Reduction in Liability for Obligations. No payment or payments made by a Borrower or received or collected by Administrative Agent from a Borrower or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Borrower under this Agreement, each of whom shall remain jointly and severally liable for the payment and performance of all Loans and other Obligations until the Obligations are Paid in Full and this Agreement is terminated.

Contribution. Each Borrower is unconditionally obligated to repay the Obligations as a joint and several Borrower under this Agreement. If, as of any date, the aggregate amount of payments made by a Borrower on account of the Obligations and proceeds of such Borrower’s Collateral that are applied to the Obligations exceeds the aggregate amount of Loan proceeds actually used by such Borrower in its business (such excess amount being referred to as an “Accommodation Payment”), then each of the other Borrowers (each such Borrower being referred to as a “Contributing Borrower”) shall be obligated to make contribution to such Borrower (the “Paying Borrower”) in an amount equal to (A) the product derived by multiplying the sum of each Accommodation Payment of each Borrower by the Allocable Percentage of the Borrower from whom contribution is sought less (B) the amount, if any, of the then outstanding Accommodation Payment of such Contributing Borrower (such last mentioned amount which is to be subtracted from the aforesaid product to be increased by any amounts theretofore paid by such Contributing Borrower by way of contribution hereunder, and to be decreased by any amounts theretofore received by such Contributing Borrower by way of contribution hereunder); provided, however, that a Paying Borrower’s recovery of contribution hereunder from the other Borrowers shall be limited to that amount paid by the Paying Borrower in excess of its Allocable Percentage of all Accommodation Payments then outstanding of all Borrowers. As used herein, the term “Allocable Percentage” shall mean, on any date of determination thereof, a fraction the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of Borrowers who are parties to this Agreement on such date and the numerator of which shall be 1; provided, however, that such percentages shall be modified in the event that contribution from a Borrower is not possible by reason of insolvency, bankruptcy or otherwise by reducing such Borrower’s Allocable Percentage equitably and by adjusting the Allocable Percentage of the other Borrowers proportionately so that the Allocable Percentages of all Borrowers at all times equals 100%.

Subordination. Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any right of payment, subrogation, contribution and indemnity, that it may have from or against any other Borrower, and any successor or assign of any other Borrower, including any trustee, receiver or debtor-in-possession, howsoever arising, due or owing or whether heretofore, now or hereafter existing, to the Payment in Full of all of the Obligations.

SECTION 5. TERM AND TERMINATION OF COMMITMENTS

Term of Commitments. Subject to each Lender’s right to cease making Loans and other extensions of credit to Borrowers when any Default or Event of Default exists or upon termination of the Commitments as provided in Section 6.2 hereof, the Revolver Commitments shall be in effect for a period of five (5) years from the date hereof through the close of business on May 8, 2011 (the “Term”).

5.1. Termination.

Termination by Administrative Agent.

(i) Administrative Agent may (and upon the direction of the Required Lenders, shall) terminate the Commitments without notice at any time that an Event of Default exists.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing the Commitments shall automatically terminate as provided in Section 12.2 hereof.

Termination by Borrowers. Upon at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Administrative Agent, Borrower Agent (on behalf of Borrowers) may, at its option, terminate the Commitments; provided, however, no such termination by Borrowers shall be effective until Payment in Full of the Obligations. Any notice of termination given by Borrowers shall be irrevocable unless Administrative Agent otherwise agrees in writing. Borrowers may elect to terminate the Commitments in their entirety only; provided that nothing contained herein shall affect Borrowers’ right to voluntarily reduce the Commitments as provided in Section 2.1.5 of this Agreement. No section of this Agreement, Type of Loan available hereunder or Commitment may be terminated by Borrowers singly.

Release of Liens Against PropertyCo. Upon the satisfaction of each of the PropCo Release Conditions, as determined by Administrative Agent, PropertyCo shall cease to be an Obligor and all of the Liens of Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties in the Property of PropertyCo shall be released. Administrative Agent shall promptly file releases of mortgages, Uniform Commercial Code termination statements, releases or terminations with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and any other documentation necessary to evidence the release of such Liens.

Effect of Termination. On the effective date of termination of the Commitments by Administrative Agent or by Borrowers, all of the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and Lenders shall have no obligation to make any Loans and Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to procure any Letters of Credit. All undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of Borrowers contained in the Credit Documents shall survive any such termination and Administrative Agent shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Credit Documents notwithstanding such termination until Payment in Full of the Obligations. Upon Payment in Full of the Obligations, Administrative Agent shall release such Liens in the Collateral by filing releases of mortgages, Uniform Commercial Code termination statements, releases or terminations with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and any other documentation necessary to release such Liens. Notwithstanding the Payment in Full of the Obligations, Administrative Agent shall not be required to terminate its security interests in any of the Collateral unless, with respect to any loss or damage

Administrative Agent may incur as a result of the dishonor or return of any Payment Items applied to the Obligations, Administrative Agent shall have received either (i) a written agreement, executed by Borrowers and any Person deemed financially responsible by Administrative Agent whose loans or other advances to Borrowers are used in whole or in part to satisfy the Obligations, indemnifying Agents and Lenders from any such loss or damage; or (ii) such monetary reserves and Liens on the Collateral for such period of time as Administrative Agent, in its reasonable credit judgment, may deem necessary to protect Administrative Agent from any such loss or damage. The provisions of Sections 3.4, 3.7, 3.8, 3.10, 5.5, 5.9 and this Section 6.2.4 and all obligations of Borrowers to indemnify any Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, shall in all events survive any termination of the Commitments and Payment in Full of the Obligations.

SECTION 6. COLLATERAL

Grant of Security Interest. To secure the prompt payment and performance of all of the Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all personal property of such Borrower, including all of the following Property and interests in Property of such Borrower, whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired or arising and wheresoever located:

(i) all Accounts;

(ii) all Goods, including all Inventory and Equipment;

(iii) all Instruments;

(iv) all Commercial Tort Claims;

(v) all Supporting Obligations;

(vi) all Chattel Paper, including Electronic Chattel Paper and Tangible Chattel Paper;

(vii) all Documents;

(viii) all General Intangibles, including Payment Intangibles and Software;

(ix) all Intellectual Property;

(x) all Deposit Accounts;

(xi) all Investment Property (but excluding any portion thereof that constitutes Margin Stock unless otherwise expressly provided in any Security Documents);

(xii) all Letter-of-Credit Rights;

(xiii) all monies now or at any time or times hereafter in the possession or under the control of an Agent or a Lender or a bailee or Affiliate of Agent or a Lender, including any Cash Collateral in the Cash Collateral Account;

(xiv) all accessions to, substitutions for and all replacements, products and cash and non-cash proceeds of (i) through (xiii) above, including proceeds of and unearned

premiums with respect to insurance policies insuring any of the Collateral and claims against any Person for loss of, damage to or destruction of any of the Collateral; and

(xv) all books and records (including customer lists, files, correspondence, tapes, computer programs, print-outs, and other computer materials and records) of such Borrower pertaining to any of (i) through (xiv) above.

Lien on Deposit Accounts. As additional security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all of such Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to each Deposit Account of such Borrower and in and to any deposits or other sums at any time credited to each such Deposit Account, including any sums in any blocked account or any special lockbox account and in the accounts in which sums are deposited. In connection with the foregoing, each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs each such bank or other depository to pay or deliver to Administrative Agent upon its written demand therefor made at any time that an Event of Default exists (except as otherwise provided in Section 8.2.5 hereof) and without further notice to such Borrower (such notice being hereby expressly waived), all balances in each Deposit Account maintained by such Borrower with such depository for application to the Obligations then outstanding, and the rights given Administrative Agent in this Section shall be cumulative with and in addition to Administrative Agent’s other rights and remedies in regard to the foregoing Property as proceeds of Collateral. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as such Borrower’s attorney-in-fact during the existence of any Event of Default to collect any and all such balances to the extent any such payment is not made to Administrative Agent by such bank or other depository after demand thereon is made by Agent pursuant hereto.

6.1. Real Estate Collateral.

Lien on Real Estate. The due and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations shall also be secured by the Lien created by the Mortgages upon all Real Estate of each Borrower described therein. The Mortgages (or, to the extent applicable, necessary amendments thereto) shall be executed by Borrowers in favor of Administrative Agent on or before the Closing Date and shall be duly recorded, at Borrowers’ expense, in each office where such recording is required to constitute a fully perfected Lien upon the Real Estate covered thereby. Promptly after any Borrower’s obtaining any interest in any Real Estate, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a mortgage, deed to secure debt, deed of trust, assignment or other document satisfactory to Administrative Agent and sufficient to convey and perfect, upon recordation thereof in the proper real estate records, in favor of Administrative Agent a first priority Lien upon such interest as security for the payment or performance of the Obligations; provided, however, that (i) if Term Loan 2 has been Paid in Full, then Borrowers shall not be required to execute and deliver to Administrative Agent a Lien upon any new Real Estate unless the fair market value of such Real Estate exceeds $2,000,000 individually or $7,500,000 in the aggregate or an Event of Default exists, and (ii) Borrowers shall pledge and grant a Lien to Administrative Agent in the Real Estate of Borrowers located at 6020 Railroad Avenue, Morgan City, Louisiana, 70380, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date unless the PropCo Release Conditions have been satisfied and PropertyCo has been released as an Obligor under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Borrowers encumber, pledge, grant or permit a Lien in or assign any Real Estate (other than Permitted Purchase Money Liens) in favor of a Person other than Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the PropCo Release Conditions are satisfied, and the applicable Real Estate is released pursuant to Section 6.2.3 hereof, Administrative Agent shall not require that Borrowers execute Mortgages to encumber Borrowers’ remaining leasehold interests in such Real Estate.

Collateral Assignment of Leases.

(i) To further secure the prompt payment and performance of the Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants, transfers and assigns to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, and hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a security interest in and Lien upon all of such Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under all now or hereafter existing leases of Real Estate to which such Borrower is lessor, and all extensions, renewals and modifications thereof.

(ii) To further secure the prompt payment and performance of the Obligations, Feralloy hereby grants, transfers and assigns to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a security interest in and Lien upon all of Feralloy’s right, title and interest in, to and under all now or hereafter existing leases of certain land situated in Portage, in Porter County, Indiana to which such Borrower is a lessee, and all extensions, renewals and modifications thereof.

Other Collateral.

Cash Collateral. In addition to the items of Property referred to in Section 7.1 above, the Obligations shall also be secured by the Cash Collateral to the extent provided herein and all of the other items of Property from time to time described in any of the Security Documents as security for any of the Obligations.

Commercial Tort Claims. Borrowers shall promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing upon any Borrower’s obtaining a Commercial Tort Claim after the Closing Date against any Person and, upon Administrative Agent’s written request, promptly enter into an amendment to this Agreement (or any of the other Credit Documents) and do such other acts or things deemed appropriate by Administrative Agent to confer upon Administrative Agent a security interest in each such Commercial Tort Claim.

Certain After-Acquired Collateral. Borrowers shall promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing upon any Borrower’s obtaining any Collateral after the Closing Date consisting of Deposit Accounts, Investment Property, Letter-of-Credit Rights or Electronic Chattel Paper and, upon Administrative Agent’s request, shall promptly execute such documents and do such other acts or things deemed appropriate by Administrative Agent to confer upon Administrative Agent control with respect to such Collateral; promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing upon Borrower’s obtaining any Collateral after the Closing Date consisting of Documents or Instruments and, upon Administrative Agent’s request, shall promptly execute such documents and do such other acts or things deemed appropriate by Administrative Agent to deliver to it possession of such Documents as are negotiable and Instruments, and, with respect to non-negotiable Documents, to have such non-negotiable Documents issued in the name of Administrative Agent; and with respect to Collateral in the possession of a third party, other than certificated securities and Goods covered by a Document, Borrowers shall obtain an acknowledgment from the third party that is in possession of such Collateral that such third party holds the Collateral for the benefit of Administrative Agent.

No Assumption of Liability. The security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement is granted as security only and shall not subject any Agent or any Lender to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation of liability of Borrowers with respect to or arising out of the Collateral.

Lien Perfection; Further Assurances. Promptly after Administrative Agent’s request therefor, Borrowers shall execute or cause to be executed and deliver to Agent such instruments, assignments, or other documents as are necessary under the UCC or other Applicable Law (and after the occurrence of an Event of Default at Administrative Agent’s request, motor vehicle title certificates) to perfect (or continue

the perfection of) Administrative Agent’s Lien upon the Collateral and shall take such other action as may be requested by Administrative Agent to give effect to or carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement. Unless prohibited by Applicable Law, each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to execute and file in any jurisdiction any financing statement or amendment thereto on such Borrower’s behalf, including financing statements that indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets or all personal property of such Borrower or words to similar effect or (ii) as being of equal or lesser scope, or with greater or lesser detail, than as set forth in this Section 7. Each Borrower also hereby ratifies its authorization for Administrative Agent to have filed in any jurisdiction any like financing statement or amendment thereto if filed prior to the date hereof. The parties agree that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed in any appropriate office in lieu thereof.

Exclusion for Certain Contracts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.3.2 above, the types or items of Collateral described in Sections 7.1 and 7.3.2 shall not include (i) any rights or interests in any contract, lease, permit or license if under the terms of such contract, lease, permit or license, or any Applicable Law with respect thereto, the valid grant of a security interest or other Lien therein to Administrative Agent is prohibited and such prohibition has not been or is not waived or the consent of the other party to such contract, lease, permit or license has not been or is not otherwise obtained or under Applicable Law such prohibition cannot be waived, provided that the foregoing exclusion shall in no way be construed (A) to apply if any such prohibition is ineffective or unenforceable under the UCC (including Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409) or any other Applicable Law or (B) so as to limit, impair or otherwise affect Administrative Agent’s unconditional continuing security interest in and Lien upon any rights or interests of Borrowers in or to monies due or to become due under any such contract (including any Accounts). Borrowers shall make a good faith and diligent effort to obtain the consent of any other party to a contract for the creation of a security interest in favor of Administrative Agent in each Borrower’s rights under such contract, lease, permit or license. If requested by a lender of Permitted Purchase Money Debt and so long as no Event of Default exists or would result therefrom, Administrative Agent shall enter into an agreement with such lender providing for the subordination of the security interest and Liens granted to Administrative Agent under Section 7.1 above in the applicable Equipment or Real Estate (and the proceeds thereof) to the Purchase Money Liens securing such Permitted Purchase Money Debt on terms satisfactory to Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion but in no event shall Administrative Agent subordinate its Lien on any other Collateral.

Foreign Subsidiary Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 7.1 above, the types or items of Collateral described in such Section shall include only sixty-six percent (66%) of the stock of any Foreign Subsidiary.

SECTION 7. COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION

7.1. General Provisions.

Location of Collateral. All tangible items of Collateral, other than Inventory in transit, shall at all times be kept by Borrowers at one or more of the business locations of Borrowers set forth in Schedule 8.1.1 hereto and shall not be moved therefrom, without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent, except that in the absence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations in consequence thereof, Borrowers may (i) make sales or other dispositions of any Collateral to the extent authorized by Section 10.2.10 hereof and (ii) move Inventory or Equipment or any record relating to any Collateral to a location in the United States other than those shown on Schedule 8.1.1 hereto so long as Borrowers have given Administrative Agent at least thirty (30) Business Days prior written notice of such new location and prior to moving any Inventory or Equipment to such

location where there have been filed any UCC-1 financing statements and any other appropriate documentation necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Administrative Agent’s first priority Liens with respect to such Inventory or Equipment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Borrowers shall not be permitted to keep, store or otherwise maintain any Collateral at any location (including any location described in Section 8.1.1), unless (i) a Borrower is the owner of such location, (ii) a Borrower leases such location and the landlord has executed in favor of Administrative Agent a Lien Waiver (or as to which a rent reserve has been established as contemplated in the definition of “Availability Reserve”), or (iii) the Collateral consists of Inventory placed with a warehouseman, bailee or processor, Administrative Agent has received from such warehouseman, bailee or processor an acceptable Lien Waiver and an appropriate UCC-1 financing statement has been filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority in the jurisdiction where such warehouseman, bailee or processor is located in order to perfect, or to maintain the uninterrupted perfection of, Administrative Agent’s security interest in such Inventory.

7.1.1. Insurance of Collateral; Condemnation Proceeds.

(i) Each Borrower shall maintain and pay for insurance upon all Collateral, wherever located, covering casualty, hazard, public liability, theft, malicious mischief, and such other risks in such amounts and with such insurance companies as are reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Schedule 8.1.2 describes all such insurance of Borrowers in effect on the date hereof. All proceeds payable to Borrowers under each such policy shall be payable to Administrative Agent for application to the Obligations, except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 8.1.2(ii) hereof. Borrowers shall deliver the originals or certified copies of such policies to Administrative Agent with satisfactory lender’s loss payable endorsements reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent naming Administrative Agent as lender’s loss payee, mortgagee, assignee or additional insured, as appropriate. Each policy of insurance or endorsement shall contain a clause requiring the insurer to give not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Administrative Agent in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever and a clause specifying that the interest of Administrative Agent shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of any Borrower or the owner of the Property or by the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by said policy. If any Borrower fails to provide and pay for such insurance, Administrative Agent may, at its option, but shall not be required to, procure the same and charge Borrowers therefor. Each Borrower agrees to deliver to Administrative Agent, promptly as rendered, true copies of all reports made in any reporting forms to insurance companies. As long as no Event of Default exists, each Borrower shall have the right to settle, adjust and compromise any claim with respect to any insurance maintained by such Borrower provided that all proceeds thereof are applied in the manner specified in this Agreement, and Administrative Agent agrees promptly to provide any necessary endorsement to any checks or drafts issued in payment of any such claim. At any time that an Event of Default exists, only Administrative Agent shall be authorized to settle, adjust and compromise such claims, Agent shall have all rights and remedies with respect to such policies of insurance as are provided for in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(ii) Any proceeds of insurance referred to in this Section 8.1.2 and any condemnation awards that are paid to Administrative Agent in connection with a condemnation of any of the Collateral shall be paid to Administrative Agent and (a) in the case of proceeds that relate to Inventory, applied first to the payment of the Revolver Loans and then to any other Obligations outstanding, and (b) in the case of proceeds of Equipment or Real Estate, applied first to the Term Loans, as determined by Administrative Agent, and then to any other Obligations outstanding; provided, however, that if an Event of Default exists on the date of Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof, Administrative Agent may apply such proceeds to the Obligations in such

order of application that is not inconsistent with Section 5.6.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by Borrowers in writing within ten (10) Business Days after Administrative Agent has given notice to Borrowers that it has received such proceeds and if no Default or Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent shall allow Borrowers to use such proceeds of insurance or condemnation awards, as applicable, to repair or replace any damaged or destroyed Equipment or Real Estate so long as (1) such repair or replacement is promptly undertaken and concluded, (2) replacements of buildings are constructed on the sites of the original casualties (or in the case of condemnation, on other sites acceptable to Administrative Agent) and are of comparable size, and quality and utility to the destroyed buildings, (3) the repaired or replaced Property is at all times free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Liens that are not Purchase Money Liens, (4) Borrowers comply with such disbursement procedures for such proceeds as Administrative Agent may reasonably impose for repair or replacement, and (5) the amount of proceeds from any single casualty affecting Equipment or Real Estate does not exceed $2,000,000.

Protection of Collateral. All expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping any Collateral, all Taxes imposed under any Applicable Law on any of the Collateral or in respect of the sale thereof, and all other payments required to be made by Administrative Agent to any Person to realize upon any Collateral shall be borne and paid by Borrowers. Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any of the Collateral or for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable care in the custody thereof while any Collateral is in Administrative Agent’s actual possession or control) or for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, or other Person whomsoever, but the same shall be at Borrowers’ sole risk.

Defense of Title to Collateral. Each Borrower shall at all times defend such Borrower’s title to the Collateral and Administrative Agent’s Liens therein against all Persons and all claims and demands whatsoever other than Permitted Liens.

7.2. Administration of Accounts.

Records and Schedules of Accounts. Each Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of its Accounts and all payments and collections thereon and shall submit to Administrative Agent on such periodic basis as Administrative Agent shall request a sales and collections report for the preceding period, in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Each Borrower shall also provide to Administrative Agent on or before the twentieth day of each month, a detailed aged trial balance of all Accounts existing as of the last day of the preceding month, specifying the names, face value, and due dates for each Account Debtor obligated on an Account so listed (“Schedule of Accounts”) and a detailed listing of all customers with verbal datings, and, upon Administrative Agent’s request therefor, copies of proof of delivery and a copy of all documents, including repayment histories and present status reports relating to the Accounts so scheduled and such other matters and information relating to the status of then existing Accounts as Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

Discounts, Disputes and Returns. If any Borrower grants any discounts, allowances or credits that are not shown on the face of the invoice for the Account involved, such Borrower shall report such discounts, allowances or credits, as the case may be to Administrative Agent as part of the next required Schedule of Accounts. If any amounts due and owing in excess of $500,000 are in dispute between any Borrower and any Account Debtor, or if any returns are made in excess of $500,000 with respect to any Accounts owing from an Account Debtor, such Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent with written notice thereof at the time of submission of the next Schedule of Accounts, explaining in detail the reason for the dispute or return, all claims related thereto and the amount in controversy. At any time an Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent shall have the right to settle or adjust all

disputes and claims directly with the Account Debtor and to compromise the amount or extend the time for payment of any Accounts comprising a part of the Collateral upon such terms and conditions as Administrative Agent may deem advisable, and to charge the deficiencies, costs and expenses thereof, including attorneys’ fees, to Borrowers.

Taxes. If an Account of any Borrower includes a charge for any Taxes payable to any Governmental Authority, subject to a Borrower’s right to Properly Contest the same pursuant to Section 10.1.6 hereof, Administrative Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the account of such Borrower and to charge Borrowers therefor; provided, however, that neither Agents nor Lenders shall be liable for any Taxes that may be due by Borrowers.

Account Verification. Whether or not a Default or an Event of Default exists, Agent shall have the right at any time, in the name of Administrative Agent, any designee of Administrative Agent or any Borrower to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts of such Borrower by mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise. Borrowers shall cooperate fully with Administrative Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.

Maintenance of Dominion Account. Borrowers shall maintain a Dominion Account pursuant to a lockbox or other arrangement acceptable to Administrative Agent and, in the case of such Dominion Account and lockbox arrangement, with such bank as may be selected by Borrowers and be acceptable to Administrative Agent. Borrowers shall issue to each such lockbox bank an irrevocable letter of instruction directing such bank to deposit all payments or other remittances received in the lockbox to the Dominion Account. Borrowers shall enter into agreements, in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent, with each bank at which a Dominion Account is maintained by which such bank shall immediately transfer to the Payment Account all monies deposited to the Dominion Account. All funds deposited in each Dominion Account shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s Lien. Borrowers shall obtain the agreement (in favor of and in form and content satisfactory to Agents) by each bank at which a Dominion Account is maintained to waive any offset rights against the funds deposited into such Dominion Account, except offset rights in respect of charges incurred in the administration of such Dominion Account. Neither Agents nor Lenders assume any responsibility to Borrowers for such lockbox arrangement or Dominion Account, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any bank thereunder.

Collection of Accounts and Proceeds of Collateral. To expedite collection, each Borrower shall endeavor in the first instance to make collection of such Borrower’s Accounts for Agents and Lenders. All Payment Items received by any Borrower in respect of its Accounts, together with the proceeds of any other Collateral, shall be held by such Borrower as trustee of an express trust for Administrative Agent’s benefit; such Borrower shall immediately deposit same in kind in the Dominion Account for application to the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Administrative Agent retains the right at all times that a Default or an Event of Default exists to notify Account Debtors of any Borrower that Accounts have been assigned to Administrative Agent and to collect Accounts directly in its own name and to charge to Borrowers the collection costs and expenses incurred by Agents or Lenders, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

7.3. Administration of Inventory.

Records and Reports of Inventory. Each Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of its Inventory and shall furnish Agents and Lenders inventory reports respecting such Inventory in form and detail satisfactory to Agents and Lenders at such times as Agents and Lenders may request, but so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, no more frequently than once each month Each Borrower shall, at its own expense, conduct a physical inventory no less frequently than annually and

periodic cycle counts consistent with such Borrower’s historical practices and shall provide to Agents and Lenders a report based on each such physical inventory and cycle count promptly after completion thereof, together with such supporting information as Administrative Agent shall request. Administrative Agent may participate in and observe each physical count or inventory, which participation shall be at Borrowers’ expense at any time that an Event of Default exists.

Returns of Inventory. No Borrower shall return any of its Inventory to a supplier or vendor thereof, or any other Person, whether for cash, credit against future purchases or then existing payables, or otherwise, unless (i) such return is in the Ordinary Course of Business of such Borrower and such Person; (ii) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom; (iii) the return of such Inventory will not result in an Out-of-Formula Condition; (iv) such Borrower promptly notifies Administrative Agent thereof if the aggregate Value of all Inventory returned in any month exceeds $500,000; and (v) any payments received by such Borrower in connection with any such return are promptly turned over to Administrative Agent for application to the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Acquisitions of Inventory. No Borrower shall acquire or accept any Inventory on consignment or approval and will use its best efforts to insure that all Inventory that is produced by Borrowers in the United States of America will be produced in accordance with the FLSA and to the extent that such Inventory is produced by a Person other than Borrowers, Borrowers will routinely require a statement in its purchase orders with other Persons that obligate such other Persons to comply with the FLSA.

Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. Maintain a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to be tested and applicable as follows:

Covenant Testing. If a Trigger Event occurs and no Cure Period is then in effect, then Borrowers and their Subsidiaries shall be required to maintain a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.10 to 1.0, calculated as of the last day of the most recent fiscal month for which Borrowers were required to deliver financial statements under the terms of this Agreement, for the Applicable Test Period.

(b) if Availability is less than $30,000,000 at the close of business on any Business Day (the “Floor Test”).

(ii) Cure Periods.

(a) Failure to Satisfy Formula Test. If Borrowers and their Subsidiaries fail to meet the Formula Test, a Trigger Event shall not occur if Platinum or one of its Affiliates makes a Subordinated Loan to PNA within thirteen (13) Business Days after notice from Administrative Agent of such failure (the “Cure Period”). Such Subordinated Loan shall be in an amount equal to the greater of:

1. the amount by which Availability is less than the Formula Test at the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such Subordinated Loan, or

2. the difference between the Average Availability and the Formula Test measured (at the close of business) over the period beginning on (and including) the first day of the five (5) Business Days related to such failure to meet the Formula Test through (and including) the Business Day prior to the date of such Subordinated Loan.

(b) Failure to Satisfy Floor Test. If Borrowers and their Subsidiaries fail to meet the Floor Test, a Trigger Event shall not occur if Platinum or one of its Affiliates makes a Subordinated Loan to PNA within the Cure Period. Such Subordinated Loan shall be in an amount equal to the greater of:

1. the amount by which the Floor Test exceeds Availability at the close of business on the Business Day prior to the date of such Subordinated Loan, or

2. the difference between the Floor Test and the average shortfall between the Average Availability and the Floor Test measured over the period beginning on (and including) the day of such failure to meet the Floor Test through (and including) the close of business on the Business Day prior to the date of such Subordinated Loan.

(c) Limitation on Number of Cure Periods. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Platinum and Borrowers be entitled to more than three (3) Cure Periods during any Loan Year (the “Cure Period Cap”).

11.2.2. The failure or delay of any Agent or any Lender to require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision of any of the Credit Documents or to exercise or enforce any rights, Liens, powers or remedies under any of the Credit Documents or with respect to any Collateral shall not operate as a waiver of such performance, Liens, rights, powers and remedies, but all such requirements, Liens,

105

rights, powers, and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all Loans and all other Obligations owing or to become owing from Borrowers to Agents and Lenders shall have been fully satisfied. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of Borrowers contained in this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents and no Event of Default by any Borrower under this Agreement or any other Credit Documents shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by any Agent or any Lender, unless such suspension or waiver is by an instrument in writing specifying such suspension or waiver and is signed by a duly authorized representative of such Agent or such Lender and directed to Borrowers. The failure or delay of Borrowers to require strict performance by any Agent or any Lender of any provision of any of the Credit Documents or to exercise or enforce any rights, powers or remedies under any of the Credit Documents or at Applicable Law shall not operate as a waiver of such rights, powers and remedies.

Neither Agent (which term, as used in this sentence, shall include reference to each Agent’s officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents and Affiliates and to the officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents of each Agent’s Affiliates) shall: (a) have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents or (b) be required to take, initiate or conduct any litigation, foreclosure or collection proceedings hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents except to the extent directed to do so by the Required Lenders during the continuance of any Event of Default.

12.1.2. Each Agent may perform any of its duties by or through its agents and employees and may employ one or more Agent Professionals and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such Agent Professionals selected by it with reasonable care.

12.1.3. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges conferred upon Agents hereunder and under the other Credit Documents may be exercised by Agents without the necessity of the joinder of any other parties unless otherwise required by Applicable Law. If an Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, such Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and such Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any of the Credit Documents pursuant to or in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders except for such Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with any action taken by it. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither Agent shall be required to take any action that is in its opinion contrary to Applicable Law or the terms of any of the Credit Documents or that would in its reasonable opinion subject it or any of its officers, employees or directors to personal

107

liability; provided, however, that if an Agent shall fail or refuse to take action that is not contrary to Applicable Law or to any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents even if such action in such Agent’s opinion would subject it to potential liability, the Required Lenders may remove such Agent and appoint a successor agent in the same manner and with the same effects as is provided in this Agreement with respect to such Agent’s resignation.

12.1.4. Administrative Agent shall promptly, upon receipt thereof, forward to each Lender (i) copies of any significant written notices, reports, certificates and other information received by Administrative Agent from any Borrower (but only if and to the extent such Borrower is not required by the terms of the Credit Documents to supply such information directly to Lenders) and (ii) copies of the results of any field audits by Administrative Agent with respect to Borrowers. Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Lender for any errors in or omissions from any field audit or other examination of Borrowers or the Collateral, unless such error or omission was the direct result of Administrative Agent’s willful misconduct. Administrative Agent shall conduct not less than 1 Inventory Appraisal per calendar year, but shall have no liability to any Lender for any delays in conducting or errors in or omissions from any such appraisal or other examination of Borrowers or the Collateral, unless such delay or error or omission is a direct result of Agent’s willful misconduct.

12.2. Agreements Regarding Collateral and Examination Reports.

12.2.1. Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien upon any Collateral (or, as provided in clause (iii), to subordinate any Lien upon certain Equipment referenced therein) (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and Payment in Full of the Obligations, (ii) constituting assets sold or disposed of in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the release of the Real Estate that is subject to the Mortgages so long as each of the PropCo Release Conditions is satisfied as determined by Administrative Agent, if Borrowers certify to Administrative Agent that the disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) subordinate the Liens granted hereby in certain Equipment financed with Permitted Purchase Money Debt in favor of the holders of Permitted Purchase Money Debt, or (iv) if approved or ratified by the Lenders; provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall, if directed to do so by the Required Lenders, release any Lien upon any Collateral having a value of less than $2,000,000 in the aggregate during any 12-month period. Except as expressly authorized or required by this Agreement or Applicable Law, Administrative Agent shall not execute any release or termination of any Lien upon any of the Collateral without the prior written authorization of all Lenders. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that any of the Collateral exists or is owned by a Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that Administrative Agent’s Liens have been properly, sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or entitled to any particular priority or to exercise any duty of care with respect to any of the Collateral.

12.2.2. Administrative Agent shall furnish each Lender, promptly after the same becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report (each a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”) prepared by or on behalf of Administrative Agent. Each Lender agrees that neither Bank nor Administrative Agent makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Report and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any such Report; agrees that the Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, that Bank or Administrative Agent or any other Person performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Borrowers or the Collateral and will rely significantly upon Borrowers’ books and records as well as upon representations of Borrowers’ officers and employees; agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use and not to distribute the Reports to any Person (except to its Participants, attorneys, accountants and other Persons with whom such Lender has a confidential relationship) or use

108

any Report in any other manner; and, without limiting the generality of any other indemnification contained herein, agrees to hold Administrative Agent and any other Person preparing a Report harmless from any action that the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any Loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or its purchase of, a loan or loans of Borrowers, and to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and each other such Person preparing a Report harmless from and against all claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses and other amounts (including attorneys’ fees incurred by Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or any part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

Reliance By Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and Lenders acknowledge and agree that Agents shall be fully protected in so relying, upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telegram, telecopier message or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of Agent Professionals selected by such Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting hereunder and thereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions of the Required Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon Lenders.

Action Upon Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless it has received written notice from a Lender or any or all Borrowers specifying the occurrence and nature of such Default or Event of Default. If Administrative Agent shall receive such a notice of a Default or an Event of Default or shall otherwise acquire actual knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Lenders in writing and Administrative Agent shall take such action and assert such rights under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, or shall refrain from taking such action and asserting such rights, as the Required Lenders shall direct from time to time. If any Lender shall receive a notice of a Default or an Event of Default or shall otherwise acquire actual knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, such Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and the other Lenders in writing. As provided in Section 13.3 hereof, Lenders acknowledge and agree that Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any liability by reason of acting or refraining to act pursuant to any request of the Required Lenders except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence in connection with any action taken by it. Before directing Administrative Agent to take or refrain from taking any action or asserting any rights or remedies under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents on account of any Event of Default, the Required Lenders, through the Administrative Agent, shall consult with and seek the advice of (but without having to obtain the consent of) each other Lender, and promptly after directing Administrative Agent to take or refrain from taking any such action or asserting any such rights, the Required Lenders will so advise each other Lender of the action taken or refrained from being taken and, upon request of any Lender, will supply information concerning actions taken or not taken. In no event shall the Required Lenders, without the prior written consent of each Lender, direct Administrative Agent to accelerate and demand payment of the Loans held by one Lender without accelerating and demanding payment of all other Loans or to terminate the Commitments of one or more Lenders without terminating the Commitments of all Lenders. Each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any of the Credit Documents or with the written consent of the Required Lenders, it will not take any legal action or institute any action or proceeding against any Borrower with respect to any of the Obligations or Collateral or accelerate or otherwise enforce its portion of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of Lenders may exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar sales or dispositions of any

109

of the Collateral except as authorized by the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 13.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement, each Lender shall be authorized to take such action to preserve or enforce its rights against any Borrower where a deadline or limitation period is otherwise applicable and would, absent the taken of specified action, bar the enforcement of Obligations held by such Lender against such Borrower, including the filing of proofs of claim in any Insolvency Proceeding.

Ratable Sharing. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or reduction (including any amounts received as adequate protection of a bank account deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code) of any Obligation of Borrowers hereunder (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) in excess of its Pro Rata share of payments or reductions on account of such Obligations obtained by all of the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith (i) notify the other Lenders and Agents of such receipt and (ii) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the affected Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or reduction, net of costs incurred in connection therewith, on a Pro Rata basis, provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender or additional costs are incurred, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery or such additional costs, but without interest. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 13.5 may, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, exercise all of its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

12.3. Indemnification of Agent Indemnitees.

12.3.1. Each Lender agrees to indemnify and defend the Agent Indemnitees acting in their capacities as Agent Indemnitees (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers under this Agreement, but without limiting the indemnification obligation of Borrowers under this Agreement), on a Pro Rata basis, and to hold each of the Agent Indemnitees harmless from and against, any and all Indemnified Claims which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of the Agent Indemnitees in any way related to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any other document contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the costs and expenses which Borrowers are obligated to pay under Section 15.2 hereof or amounts any Agent may be called upon to pay in connection with any lockbox or Dominion Account arrangement contemplated hereby or under any indemnity, guaranty or other assurance of payment or performance given by any Agent with respect to Letters of Credit) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable to an Agent Indemnitee for any of the foregoing to the extent that they result solely from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Agent Indemnitee.

12.3.2. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.6, if an Agent should be sued by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession or other Person on account of any alleged preference or fraudulent transfer received or alleged to have been received from any Borrower as the result of any transaction under the Credit Documents, then in such event any monies paid by such Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such suit, together with all Extraordinary Expenses incurred by such Agent in the defense of same, shall be promptly reimbursed to such Agent by Lenders to the extent of each Lender’s Pro Rata share.

12.3.3. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.6, if at any time (whether prior to or after the Commitment Termination Date) any action or proceeding shall be brought against any of the Agent Indemnitees by a Borrower or by any other Person claiming by,

110

through or under a Borrower, to recover damages for any act taken or omitted by any Agent under any of the Credit Documents or in the performance of any rights, powers or remedies of any Agent against any Borrower, any Account Debtor, the Collateral or with respect to any Loans, or to obtain any other relief of any kind on account of any transaction involving any Agent Indemnitees under or in relation to any of the Credit Documents, each Lender agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Agent Indemnitees harmless with respect thereto and to pay to the Agent Indemnitees such Lender’s Pro Rata share of such amount as any of the Agent Indemnitees shall be required to pay by reason of a judgment, decree, or other order entered in such action or proceeding or by reason of any compromise or settlement agreed to by the Agent Indemnitees, including all interest and costs assessed against any of the Agent Indemnitees in defending or compromising such action, together with attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses paid or incurred by the Agent Indemnitees in connection therewith; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to any Agent Indemnitee for any of the foregoing to the extent that they arise solely from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Agent Indemnitee. In Administrative Agent’s discretion, Administrative Agent may also reserve for or satisfy any such judgment, decree or order from proceeds of Collateral prior to any distributions therefrom to or for the account of Lenders.

Limitation on Responsibilities of Agents. Agents shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless they shall have received further assurances to their satisfaction from Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 13.6 hereof against any and all Indemnified Claims which may be incurred by Agents by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Neither Agent shall be liable to Lenders (or any Lender’s participants) for any action taken or omitted to be taken under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents except as a result of actual gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Agent. Neither Agent assumes any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or breach by any Borrower or any Lender of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents. Neither Agent makes to Lenders, and no Lender makes to any Agent or the other Lenders, any express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee with respect to the Loans, the Collateral, the Credit Documents or any Borrower. Neither any Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents shall be responsible to Lenders, and no Lender nor any of its agents, attorneys or employees shall be responsible to any Agent or the other Lenders, for: (i) any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any of the Credit Documents or in any certificate or other document furnished pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any of the Credit Documents; (iii) the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value, sufficiency or existence of any Collateral, or the perfection or priority of any Lien therein; or (iv) the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Borrower or any Account Debtor. Neither any Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents shall have any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any Borrower of any of the duties or agreements of such Borrower under any of the Credit Documents or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in any of the Credit Documents. Agents may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts.

12.4. Successor Agent and Co-Agents.

12.4.1. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, an Agent may resign at any time by giving at least thirty (30) days written notice thereof to each Lender and Borrowers. Upon receipt of any notice of such resignation, the Required Lenders, after prior consultation with (but without having to obtain consent of) each Lender, shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent which shall be (i) a Lender, (ii) a United States based affiliate of a Lender, or (iii) a commercial bank that is organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and has a

111

combined capital surplus of at least $200,000,000 and, provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, is reasonably acceptable to Borrowers (and for purposes hereof, any successor to Bank or Bank shall be deemed acceptable to Borrowers). Upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of an appointment to serve as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent without further act, deed or conveyance, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and shall have no further liability hereunder after such date (except to the extent of its gross negligence or willful misconduct prior to such date). After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as an Agent, the provisions of this Section 13 (including the provisions of Section 13.6 hereof) shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any successor by merger or acquisition of the stock or assets of Bank shall continue to be an Agent hereunder without further act on the part of the parties hereto unless such successor shall resign in accordance with the provisions hereof.

12.4.2. It is the purpose of this Agreement that there shall be no violation of any Applicable Law denying or restricting the right of financial institutions to transact business as agent or otherwise in any jurisdiction. It is recognized that, in case of litigation under any of the Credit Documents, or in case Administrative Agent deems that by reason of present or future laws of any jurisdiction Administrative Agent might be prohibited from exercising any of the powers, rights or remedies granted to Administrative Agent or Lenders hereunder or under any of the Credit Documents or from holding title to or a Lien upon any Collateral or from taking any other action which may be necessary hereunder or under any of the Credit Documents, Administrative Agent may appoint an additional Person as a separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent. Such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent shall be selected by Administrative Agent with reasonable care. Administrative Agent shall appoint an additional Person as a separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent as provided above, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand or cause of action intended by any of the Credit Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to Administrative Agent with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vested in such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent, but only to the extent necessary to enable such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent shall run to and be enforceable by either of them. Should any instrument from Lenders be required by the separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent so appointed by Administrative Agent in order more fully and certainly to vest in and confirm to him or it such rights, powers, duties and obligations, any and all of such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by Lenders whether or not a Default or Event of Default then exists. In case any separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent, or a successor to either, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations of such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent, so far as permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new collateral agent or successor to such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent.

12.5. Consents, Amendments and Waivers; Out-of-Formula Loans.

12.5.1. No amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective without the prior written agreement of the Required Lenders and Borrowers, and no waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders; provided, however, that (i) without the prior written consent of Agents, no amendment or waiver shall be effective with respect to any provision in any of the Credit Documents (including this Section 13) to the extent such provision relates to the rights, duties, immunities or discretion of such Agent; (ii) without the prior written consent of Bank, no amendment or waiver with respect to the provisions of

112

Sections 2.3 or 4.1.3 shall be effective; (iii) without the prior written consent of all Lenders, no waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall be effective if the Default or Event of Default relates to any Borrower’s failure to observe or perform any covenant that may not be amended without the unanimous written consent of Lenders (and, where so provided hereinafter, the written consent of Agents) as hereinafter set forth in this Section 13.9.1; and (iv) written agreement of all Lenders (except a defaulting Lender as provided in Section 4.2 of this Agreement) shall be required to effectuate any amendment, modification or waiver that would (a) alter the provisions of Sections 2.1.7, 2.1.8, 3.2, 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.10, 5.6, 5.7, 5.9, 5.10, 6.1, 13.2.1, 13.9, 15.2, 15.3 or 15.16, (b) amend the definitions of “Pro Rata,” “Required Lenders,” “Availability Reserve” or “Borrowing Base” (and the other defined terms used in such definitions), or any provision of this Agreement obligating Administrative Agent to take certain actions at the direction of the Required Lenders, or any provision of any of the Credit Documents regarding the Pro Rata treatment or obligations of Lenders, (c) increase or otherwise modify any of the Commitments (other than to reduce proportionately each Lender’s Commitment in connection with any overall reduction in the amount of the Commitments), except as expressly provided in Section 2.1.8, (d) alter or amend (other than to increase) the rate of interest payable in respect of the Loans (except as may be expressly authorized by the Credit Documents or as may be necessary, in Agents’ judgment, to comply with Applicable Law), (e) waive or agree to defer collection of any fee, termination charge or other charge provided for under any of the Credit Documents or the unused line fee in Section 3.2.2 hereof, (f) subordinate the payment of any of the Obligations to any other Debt or the priority of any Liens granted to Administrative Agent under any of the Credit Documents to Liens granted to any other Person, except as currently provided in or contemplated by the Credit Documents in connection with Borrowers’ incurrence of Permitted Purchase Money Debt, and except for Liens granted by a Borrower to financial institutions with respect to amounts on deposit with such financial institutions to cover returned items, processing and analysis charges and other charges in the Ordinary Course of Business that relate to deposit accounts with such financial institutions, (g) alter the time or amount of repayment of any of the Loans (except a moratorium or deferral of payment pursuant to a forbearance agreement entered into by Agent and the Required Lenders with Borrowers at any time an Event of Default exists but in no event for more than ninety (90) days without the consent of all Lenders and without any further extensions thereof without the consent of all Lenders) or waive any Event of Default resulting from nonpayment of the Loans on the due date thereof (or within any applicable period of grace), (h) forgive any of the Obligations, except any portion of the Obligations held by a Lender who consents in writing to such forgiveness, or (i) release any Borrower from liability for any of the Obligations (except for the release of Property Company as an Obligor hereunder so long as each of the PropCo Release Conditions is satisfied as determined by Administrative Agent) (j) release any Guarantor, or (k) amend the Seller Subordination Agreement. No Lender shall be authorized to amend or modify any Note held by it, unless such amendment or modification is consented to in writing by all Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit an amendment or modification to any provision of this Agreement that may be effected pursuant to this Section 13.9.1 by agreement of Borrowers and the Required Lenders even though such an amendment or modification results in an amendment or modification of the Notes by virtue of the incorporation by reference in each of the Notes of this Agreement. The making of any Loans hereunder by any Lender during the existence of a Default or Event of Default shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of such Default or Event of Default. Any waiver or consent granted by Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

12.5.2. No Borrower will, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as consideration for or as an inducement to the consent to or agreement by such Lender with any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents to the extent that the agreement of all Lenders to any such waiver or amendment is required, unless such remuneration or thing of value is concurrently paid, on the same terms, on a Pro Rata basis to all Lenders who consent or agree to such waiver or amendment.

113

12.5.3. Unless otherwise directed in writing by the Required Lenders, Administrative Agent may require Lenders to honor requests by Borrowers for Out-of-Formula Loans (in which event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.1.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Lenders shall continue to make Revolver Loans up to their Pro Rata share of the Commitments) and to forbear from requiring Borrowers to cure an Out-of-Formula Condition, (1) when no Event of Default exists (or if an Event of Default exists, when the existence of such Event of Default is not known by Administrative Agent), if and for so long as (i) such Out-of-Formula Condition does not continue for a period of more than fifteen (15) consecutive days, following which no Out-of-Formula Condition exists for at least fifteen (15) consecutive days before another Out-of-Formula Condition exists, (ii) the amount of the Revolver Loans outstanding at any time does not exceed the aggregate of the Revolver Commitments at such time, and (iii) the Out-of-Formula Condition is not known by Administrative Agent at the time in question to exceed $5,000,000; and (2) regardless of whether or not an Event of Default exists, if Administrative Agent discovers the existence of an Out-of-Formula Condition not previously known by it to exist, but Lenders shall be obligated to continue making such Revolver Loans as directed by Administrative Agent only (A) if the amount of the Out-of-Formula Condition is not increased by more than $2,000,000 above the amount determined by Agent to exist on the date of discovery thereof and (B) for a period not to exceed five (5) Business Days and (C) the amount of the Revolver Loans outstanding at any time does not exceed the aggregate of the Revolver Commitments at such time. In no event shall any Borrower be deemed to be a beneficiary of this Section 13.9.3 or authorized to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 13.9.3.

12.5.4. If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders, the consent of Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at Borrowers’ request, Administrative Agent or an Eligible Assignee shall have the right (but not the obligation) with Administrative Agent’s approval, to purchase from the Non-Consenting Lenders, and the Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall sell within thirty (30) days after such request, all the Non-Consenting Lenders’ Commitments for an amount equal to the principal balances thereof and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale pursuant to Assignment and Acceptance Agreement(s), without premium or discount.

Due Diligence and Non-Reliance. Each Lender hereby acknowledges and represents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or the other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Borrower and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund the Loans to be made by it hereunder and to purchase participations in the LC Obligations pursuant to Section 2.3.2 hereof, and each Lender has made such inquiries concerning the Credit Documents, the Collateral and each Borrower as such Lender feels necessary and appropriate, and has taken such care on its own behalf as would have been the case had it entered into the other Credit Documents without the intervention or participation of the other Lenders or Agents. Each Lender hereby further acknowledges and represents that the other Lenders and Agents have not made any representations or warranties to it concerning any Borrower, any of the Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any of the Credit Documents. Each Lender also hereby acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the other Lenders or Agents, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in making Loans and in taking or refraining to take any other action under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by

114

Administrative Agent hereunder, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to Administrative Agent by any Borrower or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or Properties of any Borrower (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of Administrative Agent or any of Administrative Agent’s Affiliates.

Representations and Warranties of Lenders. By its execution of this Agreement, each Lender hereby represents and warrants to each Borrower and the other Lenders that it has the power to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and that it has taken all necessary and appropriate action to authorize its execution and performance of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party, each of which will be binding upon it and the obligations imposed upon it herein or therein will be enforceable against it in accordance with the respective terms of such documents.

The Required Lenders. As to any provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents under which action may or is required to be taken upon direction or approval of the Required Lenders, the direction or approval of the Required Lenders shall be binding upon each Lender to the same extent and with the same effect as if each Lender had joined therein.

Several Obligations. The obligations and commitments of each Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are several and neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for the performance by the other Lenders of its obligations or commitments hereunder or thereunder. Notwithstanding any liability of Lenders stated to be joint and several to third Persons under any of the Credit Documents, such liability shall be shared, as among Lenders, Pro Rata according to the respective Commitments of Lenders.

Agents in their Individual Capacities. With respect to its obligation to lend under this Agreement, the Loans made by it and each Note issued to it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under the other Credit Documents as any other Lender or holder of a Note and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders,” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its capacity as a Lender. Each Agent and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower, or any Affiliate of any Borrower, as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor (or for any fees or other consideration received in connection therewith) to the other Lenders. Bank or its affiliates may receive information regarding any Borrower or any of such Borrower’s Affiliates and account debtors (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrowers or any of their Affiliates) and Lenders acknowledge that neither Administrative Agent nor Bank shall be under any obligation to provide such information to Lenders to the extent acquired by Bank in its individual capacity and not as Administrative Agent hereunder.

No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Section 13 is not intended to confer any rights or benefits upon Borrowers or any other Person except Lenders and Agents, and no Person (including any or all Borrowers) other than Lenders and Agents shall have any right to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 13 except as expressly provided in Section 13.17 hereof. As between Borrowers and Agents, any action that Agents may take or purport to take on behalf of Lenders under any of the Credit Documents shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and approved by Lenders as herein provided.

115

Notice of Transfer. Administrative Agent may deem and treat a Lender party to this Agreement as the owner of such Lender’s portion of the Revolver Loans for all purposes, unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof executed by such Lender has been received by Administrative Agent.

Replacement of Certain Lenders. In addition to the provisions of Section 13.9.4 hereof, if a Lender (“Affected Lender”) shall have (i) failed to fund its Pro Rata share of any Loan or LC Obligation requested (or deemed requested) by Borrowers which such Lender is obligated to fund under the terms of this Agreement and which such failure has not been cured, (ii) requested compensation from Borrowers under Sections 3.7 or 3.8 to recover increased costs incurred by such Lender (or its parent or holding company) which are not being incurred generally by the other Lenders (or their respective parents or holding companies), (iii) delivered a notice pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof claiming that such Lender is unable to extend LIBOR Loans to Borrowers for reasons not generally applicable to the other Lenders, or (iv) is otherwise in default under any of its obligations hereunder, then, in any such case and in addition to any other rights and remedies that any Agent, any other Lender or any Borrower may have against such Affected Lender, any Borrower or Administrative Agent may make written demand on such Affected Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent in the case of a demand by Borrowers and a copy to Borrowers in the case of a demand by Administrative Agent) for the Affected Lender to assign, and such Affected Lender shall assign pursuant to one or more duly executed Assignment and Acceptances within five (5) Business Days after the date of such demand, to one or more Lenders willing to accept such assignment or assignments, or to one or more Eligible Assignees designated by Agents or Borrowers, all of such Affected Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitments and all Loans owing to it) in accordance with Section 14 hereof. Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to execute one or more Assignment and Acceptances as attorney-in-fact for any Affected Lender which fails or refuses to execute and deliver the same within five (5) Business Days after the date of such demand. The Affected Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash and concurrently with execution and delivery of each such Assignment and Acceptance, all amounts owed to the Affected Lender hereunder or under any other Credit Document, including the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolver Loans owed to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon through the date of such assignment. Upon the replacement of any Affected Lender pursuant to this Section 13.17, such Affected Lender shall cease to have any participation in, entitlement to, or other right to share in the Liens of Administrative Agent in any Collateral and such Affected Lender shall have no further liability to any Agent, any Lender or any Obligor under any of the Credit Documents (except as provided in Section 13.6 hereof as to events or transactions which occur prior to the replacement of such Affected Lender), including any commitment to make Loans or purchase participations in LC Obligations. Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time, but shall not be obligated to, upon written notice to any Lender and with the consent of such Lender (which may be granted or withheld in such Lender’s sole discretion), to purchase for Administrative Agent’s own account all of such Lender’s right, title and interest in and to this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and the Obligations (together with such Lender’s interest in the Commitments), for the face amount of the Obligations owed to such Lender (or such greater or lesser amount as Administrative Agent and Lender may mutually agree upon).

12.6. Remittance of Payments and Collections.

12.6.1. All payments by any Lender to Administrative Agent shall be made not later than the time set forth elsewhere in this Agreement on the Business Day such payment is due; provided, however, that if such payment is due on demand by Administrative Agent and such demand is made on the paying Lender after 11:00 a.m. on such Business Day, then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day. Payment by Administrative Agent to any Lender shall be made by wire transfer, promptly following Administrative Agent’s receipt of funds for the account of such Lender and in the type of funds received by Administrative Agent; provided, however, that if Administrative Agent receives

116

such funds at or prior to 12:00 noon, Administrative Agent shall pay such funds to such Lender by 2:00 p.m. on such Business Day, but if Administrative Agent receives such funds after 12:00 noon, Administrative Agent shall pay such funds to such Lender by 2:00 p.m. on the next Business Day.

12.6.2. With respect to the payment of any funds from Administrative Agent to a Lender or from a Lender to Administrative Agent, the party failing to make full payment when due pursuant to the terms hereof shall, on demand by the other party, pay such amount together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate. In no event shall Borrowers be entitled to receive any credit for any interest paid by Administrative Agent to any Lender, or by any Lender to Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate as provided herein.

12.6.3. If Administrative Agent pays any amount to a Lender in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Administrative Agent from a Borrower and such related payment is not received by Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount from each Lender that receives such amount. If Administrative Agent determines at any time that any amount received by it under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents must be returned to a Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any Applicable Law, court order or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, Administrative Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Lender.

No Reliance on Agents’ Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, Participants, Transferees or assignees, may rely on any Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, Participant’s, Transferee’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any Borrower, its Subsidiaries, Affiliates or its agents, the Credit Documents or the transactions hereunder: (1) any identity verification procedures, (2) any recordkeeping, (3) any comparisons with government lists, (4) any customer notices or (5) any other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws.

USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender or Transferee or Participant or assignee of a Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to Administrative Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within ten (10) days after the Closing Date and (2) at such other times as are required under the USA PATRIOT Act.

Hedging Arrangements. Each Lender shall notify Administrative Agent if such Lender or any of its Affiliates enters into a Hedging Agreement with any Borrower within 5 Business Days after consummation of such transaction, and at Administrative Agent’s request from time to time, shall provide such information as Administrative Agent may request regarding such Hedging Agreement, including a mark to market value on each hedging arrangement. If any Lender shall fail to notify Administrative Agent of its Hedging Agreement or if requested by Administrative Agent, its mark to market value on such hedging arrangement, then amounts owing to such Lender or its Affiliate under such Hedging Agreement shall be paid last in order under Section 5.6.1.

117

SECTION 13. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS

Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers, Agents and Lenders and their respective successors and assigns (which, in the case of Agent, shall include any successor Agent appointed pursuant to Section 13.8 hereof), except that (i) no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate performance of any of its obligations under any of the Credit Documents and (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 14.3 hereof. Administrative Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such payee complies with Section 14.3 in the case of an assignment thereof or, in the case of any other transfer, a written notice of the transfer is filed with Administrative Agent. Any assignee or transferee of a Note agrees by acceptance thereof to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the holder of a Note, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

13.1. Participations.

Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant”) a participating interest in any of the Obligations owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under any of the Credit Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Credit Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of any Note for all purposes under the Credit Documents, all amounts payable by Borrowers under this Agreement and any of the Notes shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and Borrowers and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Credit Documents. If a Lender sells a participation to a Person other than an Affiliate of such Lender, then such Lender shall give prompt written notice thereof to Borrowers and the other Lenders. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.9 unless Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrowers, to comply with Section 5.10 as though such Participant were a Lender.

Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents.

Reserved.

Notices. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Credit Documents to the extent that any such notice may be required, and neither any Agent nor any other Lender shall have any obligation, duty or liability to any Participant of any other Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither any Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to give notices or to provide documents or information to a Participant of another Lender.

13.2. Assignments.

Permitted Assignments. Subject to its compliance with Section 14.3.2, a Lender may, in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time assign to any Eligible Assignee all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Credit Documents, so long as (i) each assignment is of a constant, and not a

118

varying, ratable percentage of all of the transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under the Credit Documents with respect to the Loans and the LC Obligations and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Agents in their reasonable credit judgment) and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess of that amount; (ii) except in the case of an assignment in whole of a Lender’s rights and obligations under the Credit Documents or an assignment by one original signatory to this Agreement to another such signatory, immediately after giving effect to any assignment, the aggregate amount of the Commitments retained by the transferor Lender shall in no event be less than $10,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Agents in their reasonable credit judgment); and (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance. Nothing contained herein shall limit in any way the right of a Lender to assign all or any portion of the Obligations owing to it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, provided that any payment by Borrowers to the assigning Lender in respect of such assigned Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy Borrowers’ obligations hereunder in respect of such assigned Obligations to the extent of such payment, and no such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to Administrative Agent of a notice of assignment substantially in the form attached as Exhibit I hereto, together with any consents required by Section 14.3.1, and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to Administrative Agent for processing any assignment to an Eligible Assignee that is not an Affiliate of the transferor Lender, such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such notice of assignment. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Eligible Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Credit Document executed by the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of the Lender under the Credit Documents to the same extent as if it were an original party thereto, and no further consent or action by Borrowers, Lenders or Agents shall be required to release the transferor Lender with respect to the Commitment (or portion thereof) of such Lender and Obligations assigned to such Eligible Assignee. Upon the consummation of any assignment to an Eligible Assignee pursuant to this Section 14.3, the transferor Lender, Administrative Agent and Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Eligible Assignee, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment. If the transferor Lender shall have assigned all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.3.1 hereof, such transferor Lender shall no longer have any obligation to indemnify any Agent Indemnitee with respect to any transactions, events or occurrences that transpire after the effective date of such assignment, and each Eligible Assignee to which such transferor shall make an assignment shall be responsible to Agents to indemnify Agents in accordance with this Agreement with respect to transactions, events and occurrences transpiring on and after the effective date of such assignment to it.

Dissemination of Information. Each Borrower authorizes each Lender and Agents to disclose to any Participant, any Eligible Assignee or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Credit Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”), and any prospective Transferee, any and all information in such Agent’s or such Lender’s possession concerning each Borrower, the Subsidiaries of each Borrower or the Collateral, subject to appropriate confidentiality undertakings on the part of such Transferee which are reasonably approved by Borrowers and of which Borrowers are a beneficiary.

Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Credit Document is transferred to any Transferee that is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 5.10 hereof.

119

SECTION 14. MISCELLANEOUS

Power of Attorney. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates, makes, constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent (and all Persons designated by Administrative Agent) as such Borrower’s true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact) and Administrative Agent, or Administrative Agent’s designee, may, without notice to such Borrower and in either such Borrower’s or Administrative Agent’s name, but at the cost and expense of Borrowers:

14.1.1. At such time or times as Administrative Agent or said designee may determine, endorse such Borrower’s name on any Payment Item or proceeds of the Collateral which come into the possession of Administrative Agent or under Administrative Agent’s control and deposit the same for application to the Obligations as set forth in this Agreement.

At any time that an Event of Default exists: (i) demand payment of the Accounts from the Account Debtors, enforce payment of the Accounts by legal proceedings or otherwise, and generally exercise all of such Borrower’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Accounts; (ii) settle, adjust, compromise, discharge or release any of the Accounts or other Collateral or any legal proceedings brought to collect any of the Accounts or other Collateral; (iii) sell or assign any of the Accounts and other Collateral upon such terms, for such amounts and at such time or times as Administrative Agent deems advisable; (iv) take control, in any manner, of any item of payment or proceeds relating to any Collateral; (v) prepare, file and sign such Borrower’s name to a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any Account Debtor or to any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with any of the Collateral; (vi) receive, open and deal with all mail addressed to such Borrower and to notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as Administrative Agent may designate; (vii) endorse the name of such Borrower upon any of the items of payment or proceeds relating to any Collateral and deposit the same to the account of Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations; (viii) endorse the name of such Borrower upon any chattel paper, document, instrument, invoice, freight bill, bill of lading or similar document or agreement relating to any Accounts or Inventory of any Borrower and any other Collateral; (ix) use such Borrower’s stationery and sign the name of such Borrower to verifications of the Accounts and notices thereof to Account Debtors; (x) use the information recorded on or contained in any data processing equipment and computer hardware and software relating to the Accounts, Inventory, Equipment or any other Collateral; (xi) make and adjust claims under policies of insurance; (xii) sign the name of such Borrower on any proof of claim in bankruptcy against Account Debtors and on notices of Liens, claims of mechanic’s Liens or assignments or releases of mechanic’s Liens securing any Accounts; (xiii) take all action as may be necessary to obtain the payment of any letter of credit or banker’s acceptance of which such Borrower is a beneficiary; and (xiv) do all other acts and things necessary, in Administrative Agent’s determination, to fulfill such Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement.

General Indemnity. Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and defend the Indemnitees against and to hold the Indemnitees harmless from any Indemnified Claim that may be instituted or asserted against any of the Indemnitees and that either (i) arises out of or relates to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (including any transactions entered into pursuant to any of the Credit Documents, Administrative Agent’s Lien upon the Collateral, or the performance by Agents or Lenders of their duties or the exercise of any of their rights or remedies under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents), or (ii) results from a Borrower’s failure to observe, perform or discharge any of such Borrower’s covenants or duties hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this indemnity shall extend to any Indemnified Claims instituted or asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnitees by any Person under any Environmental Laws or similar laws by reason of any Borrower’s failure to comply with laws applicable to solid or hazardous waste materials or other toxic substances. Additionally, without duplication of Section 3.7, if any Taxes (excluding Taxes imposed upon or

120

measured solely by the net income of Agents and Lenders, but including any intangibles tax, stamp tax, recording tax or franchise tax) shall be payable by any Agent or any Borrower on account of the extension of the Loans and other Obligations by Agent or any Lender or the repayment of any of the Obligations hereunder or the granting of a Lien in favor of Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, by reason of any Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect, Borrowers will pay (or will promptly reimburse Agents and Lenders for the payment of) all such Taxes, including any interest and penalties thereon, and will indemnify and hold Indemnitees harmless from and against all liability in connection therewith. The foregoing indemnities shall not apply to Indemnified Claims incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or that arise solely out of any disputes between Lenders or Lenders and Agents. The foregoing indemnity shall not extend to or preclude any claim, demand, suit, allegation or other proceeding by any Borrower against any Indemnitee on account of any damages, losses, liabilities and expenses that may be suffered or incurred by any Borrower by a breach of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents by any Indemnified Party.

Survival of All Indemnities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, the obligation of each Borrower and each Lender with respect to each indemnity given by it in this Agreement, whether given by any or all Borrowers to Agent Indemnitees, Lender Indemnitees or Bank Indemnitees or by any Lender to any Agent Indemnitees or Bank Indemnitees, shall survive the Payment in Full of the Obligations and the termination of any of the Commitments.

Modification of Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified, altered or amended, except by an agreement in writing signed by Borrowers and Agents and Lenders (or, where otherwise expressly allowed by Section 13 hereof, the Required Lenders in lieu of Agents and Lenders); provided, however, that no consent, written or otherwise, of Borrowers shall be necessary or required in connection with any amendment of any of the provisions of Sections 2.3.2, 4.1.3, 5.5, or 13 (other than Section 13.17), or any other provision of this Agreement that affects only the rights, duties and responsibilities of Lenders and Agents as among themselves so long as no such amendment imposes any additional obligations on Borrowers.

Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under Applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Other Agreements and the Security Documents are hereby made cumulative with the provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that this Agreement and the other Credit Documents may use several different limitations, tests or measurements to regulate the same or similar matters and that such limitations, tests and measures are cumulative and each must be performed, except as may be expressly stated to the contrary in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in any of the other Credit Documents by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement, if any provision contained in this Agreement is in direct conflict with, or inconsistent with, any provision in any of the other Credit Documents, the provision contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.

Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments hereto 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 counterparts taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

121

Consent. Whenever an Agent’s, Lenders’ or Required Lenders’ consent is required to be obtained under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents as a condition to any action, inaction, condition or event, each Agent and each Lender shall be authorized to give or withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion and to condition its consent upon the giving of additional collateral security for the Obligations, the payment of money or any other matter; provided, that when an Agent’s consent alone is required, such Agent may give or withhold its consent in its reasonable discretion.

Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, personal delivery against receipt or by telecopier or other facsimile transmission and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered when delivered against receipt or, in the case of facsimile transmission, when received (if on a Business Day and, if not received on a Business Day, then on the next Business Day after receipt) at the office where the noticed party’s telecopier is located, in each case addressed to the noticed party at the address shown for such party on the signature page hereof or on Schedule 2 hereof, or in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after the date hereof, at the address shown on the Assignment and Acceptance by which such person became a Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice to or upon Administrative Agent pursuant to Sections 2.3, 3.1.2, 4.1 or 6.2.2 shall be effective until after actually received by the individual to whose attention at Administrative Agent such notice is required to be sent. Any written notice, request or demand that is not sent in conformity with the provisions hereof shall nevertheless be effective on the date that such notice, request or demand is actually received by the individual to whose attention at the noticed party such notice, request or demand is required to be sent.

Performance of Borrowers’ Obligations. If any Borrower shall fail to discharge any covenant, duty or obligation hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents, Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion at any time or from time to time, for such Borrower’s account and at Borrowers’ expense, pay any amount or do any act required of Borrowers hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Administrative Agent to (i) enforce any of the Credit Documents or collect any of the Obligations, (ii) preserve, protect, insure or maintain or realize upon any of the Collateral, or (iii) preserve, defend, protect or maintain the validity or priority of Administrative Agent’s Liens in any of the Collateral, including the payment of any judgment against any Borrower, any insurance premium, any warehouse charge, any finishing or processing charge, any landlord claim, any other Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral (whether or not a Permitted Lien). All payments that Administrative Agent may make under this Section and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) that Administrative Agent pays or incurs in connection with any action taken by it hereunder shall be reimbursed to Administrative Agent by Borrowers on demand with interest from the date such payment is made or such costs or expenses are incurred to the date of payment thereof at the Default Rate applicable for Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans. Any payment made or other action taken by Administrative Agent under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert, and without waiver of, an Event of Default hereunder and to without prejudice to Administrative Agent’s right proceed thereafter as provided herein or in any of the other Credit Documents.

Credit Inquiries. Each Borrower hereby authorizes and permits Agents and Lenders (but Agents and Lenders shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement, the Other Agreements and the Security Documents.

Indulgences Not Waivers. Any party’s failure at any time or times hereafter, to require strict performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of such party thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith.

122

Entire Agreement; Exhibits and Schedules. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with all other instruments, agreements and certificates executed by the parties in connection therewith or with reference thereto, embody the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto and thereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and inducements, whether express or implied, oral or written. Each of the Exhibits and each of the Schedules attached hereto are incorporated into this Agreement and by this reference made a part hereof.

Interpretation. No provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any court or other governmental or judicial authority by reason of such party having, or being deemed to have, structured, drafted or dictated such provision.

Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders to be a partnership, association, 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 the extent not otherwise restricted hereunder, to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and any of the other Credit Documents and it shall not be necessary for any Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

Advertising and Publicity. With the prior consent of Borrowers (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, may issue and disseminate to the public (by advertisement or otherwise) information describing the credit accommodations made available by Lenders pursuant to this Agreement, including the name and address of each Borrower, the amount and security for the credit accommodations and the general nature of each Borrower’s business, provided that detail regarding terms (such as interest rate) may be provided only to industry publications, such as the “LPC Gold Sheets.”

Disclosure. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any party subject to confidentiality obligations hereunder or under any other related document (and any employee, representative or other agent of such party) may disclose to any Governmental Authority, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the U.S. federal income tax structure of the transactions contemplated herein and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. Borrowers acknowledge that one or more of the Lenders may treat its Loans as part of a transaction that is subject to Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4 or Section ###-###-####-1, and the Administrative Agent and such Lender or Lenders, as applicable, may file such IRS forms or maintain such lists and other records as they may determine is required by such Treasury Regulations.

Governing Law; Consent to Forum. This Agreement has been negotiated, executed and delivered at and shall be deemed to have been made in Atlanta, Georgia. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia (without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof); provided, however, that, if any of the Collateral shall be located in any jurisdiction other than Georgia, the laws of such jurisdiction shall govern the method, manner and procedure for foreclosure of Administrative Agent’s Lien upon such Collateral and the enforcement of Administrative Agent’s other remedies in respect of such Collateral to the extent that the laws of such jurisdiction are different from or inconsistent with the laws of the State of Georgia. As part of the consideration for new value received, and regardless of any present or future domicile or principal place of business of any Borrower, any Lender or any

123

Agent, each Borrower hereby consents and agrees that the Superior Court of Cobb County, Georgia, or, at Agent’s option, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any claims or disputes among any or all Borrowers, Agents and Lenders pertaining to this Agreement or to any matter arising out of or related to this Agreement. Each Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such Court, and each Borrower hereby waives any objection that such Borrower may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such Court. Each Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaint and other process issued in any such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaint and other process may be made by certified mail addressed to such Borrower at the address set forth in this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier of such Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or four (4) Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or operate to affect the right of Administrative Agent to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law, or to preclude the enforcement by Administrative Agent of any judgment or order obtained in such forum or the taking of any action under this Agreement to enforce same in any other appropriate forum or jurisdiction.

Waivers by Borrowers. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Borrower waives (i) the right to trial by jury (which each Agent and each Lender hereby also waives) in any action, suit, proceeding or counterclaim of any kind arising out of or related to any of the Credit Documents, the Obligations or the Collateral; (ii) presentment, demand and protest and notice of presentment, protest, default, non payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all commercial paper, accounts, contract rights, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Administrative Agent on which such Borrower may in any way be liable and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Agent may do in this regard; (iii) notice prior to taking possession or control of the Collateral or any bond or security which might be required by any court prior to allowing Administrative Agent to exercise any of Administrative Agent’s remedies; (iv) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws; and (v) notice of acceptance hereof. Each Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to Agents’ and Lenders’ entering into this Agreement and that Agents and Lenders are relying upon the foregoing waivers in its future dealings with Borrowers. Each Borrower warrants and represents that it has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the Court.

Waiver of Consumer Rights. Each Borrower waives its rights under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act, Section 17.41 et seq., Business & Commerce Code, a law that gives consumers special rights and protections. After consultation with an attorney of each Borrower’s selection, each Borrower voluntarily consents to this waiver.

Limitation of Liability. NO CLAIM MAY BE MADE BY ANY AGENT, ANY BORROWER, ANY LENDER OR OTHER PERSON AGAINST ANY AGENT, ANY BORROWER, ANY LENDER, OR THE AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, COUNSEL, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS OR ATTORNEYS-IN-FACT OF ANY OF THEM FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR ANY

124

ACT, OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, AND EACH BORROWER, EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND AGREES NOT TO SUE UPON ANY CLAIM FOR SUCH DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT ACCRUED AND WHETHER OR NOT KNOWN OR SUSPECTED TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR.

14.2. Amendment and Restatement.

This Agreement and the other Credit Documents amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement and the “Credit Documents” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement). All rights, benefits, indebtedness, interests, liabilities and obligations of the parties to the Existing Credit Agreement and the agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Existing Credit Documents”) are hereby renewed, amended, restated and superseded in their entirety according to the terms and provisions set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents. This Agreement does not constitute, nor shall it result in, a waiver of or release, discharge or forgiveness of any amount payable pursuant to the Existing Credit Documents or any indebtedness, liabilities or obligations of the Borrowers or the other Obligors thereunder, all of which are renewed and continued and are hereafter payable and to be performed in accordance with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document extinguishes the indebtedness or liabilities outstanding in connection with the Existing Credit Documents, nor do they constitute a novation with respect thereto.

All security interests, pledges, assignments, hypothecs and other Liens previously granted by any Obligor pursuant to the Existing Credit Documents are hereby renewed and continued, and all such security interests, pledges, assignments and other Liens shall remain in full force and effect as security for the Obligations.

Amounts in respect of interest, fees, and other amounts payable to or for the account of the Agents and the Lenders shall be calculated (i) in accordance with the provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement with respect to any period (or a portion of any period) ending prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement with respect to any period (or a portion of any period) commencing on or after the Closing Date.

Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, none of the Existing Lenders party to the Existing Credit Agreement shall have a Commitment except as expressly set forth opposite such Lender’s name in Schedule 1 attached hereto or the signature page of the Assignment and Acceptance by which it became a Lender, as modified from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or to give effect to any applicable Assignment and Acceptance, as any such Commitments may hereafter be increased, adjusted and modified as described in this Agreement.
