               (i) Each Borrowing shall be made upon any Borrower’s irrevocable written notice delivered to Agent in the form of a Notice of Borrowing in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A”, which notice must be received by Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) (i) three Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date, in the case of LIBOR Revolving Loans and (ii) no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the requested Funding Date, in the case of Base Rate Revolving Loans, specifying:

                    (A) the amount of the Borrowing (which, in the case of a Borrowing of LIBOR Revolving Loans, shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000.00 or in an amount that is in an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof);

                    (B) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day;

                    (C) whether the Revolving Loans requested are to be Base Rate Revolving Loans or LIBOR Revolving Loans (and if not specified, it shall be deemed a request for Base Rate Revolving Loans); and

                    (D) the duration of the Interest Period if the requested Revolving Loans are to be LIBOR Revolving Loans. If the Notice of Borrowing fails to specify the duration of the Interest Period for any Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Revolving Loans, such Interest Period shall be three months.

               (ii) After giving effect to any Borrowing, there may not be more than five (5) different Interest Periods in effect.

               (iii) With respect to any request for Base Rate Revolving Loans, in lieu of delivering the above-described Notice of Borrowing, a Borrower may give Agent telephonic notice of such request by the required time, with such telephonic notice to be confirmed in writing within 24 hours of the giving of such notice but Agent shall be entitled to rely on the telephonic notice in making such Revolving Loans, regardless of whether any such confirmation is received by Agent.

               (iv) No Borrower shall have the right to request a LIBOR Revolving Loan while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

          (c) Reliance upon Authority. Prior to any change with respect to any of the information contained in the following clauses (i) and (ii), Borrowers shall deliver to Agent a writing setting forth (i) the account of Borrowers to which Agent is authorized to transfer the proceeds of the Revolving Loans requested pursuant to this Paragraph 2.2, and (ii) the names of the persons authorized to request Revolving Loans on behalf of Borrowers, and shall provide Agent with a specimen signature of each such person. Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such person’s authority to request Revolving Loans on behalf of Borrowers, the proceeds of which are to be transferred to any of the accounts specified by Borrowers pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, until Agent receives written notice to the contrary. Agent shall have no duty to verify the identity of any individual representing himself as one of the persons authorized by Borrowers to make such requests on its behalf. Each Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by such authorized Person shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.

          (d) No Liability. Agent shall not incur any liability to Borrowers as a result of acting upon any notice referred to in subparagraphs 2.2(b) and (c), which notice Agent believes in good faith to have been given by any person duly authorized by Borrowers to request Revolving Loans on its behalf or for otherwise acting in good faith under this Paragraph 2.2, and the crediting of Revolving Loans to Borrowers’ deposit accounts, or transmittal to such Person as Borrowers shall direct, shall conclusively establish the obligation of Borrowers to repay such Revolving Loans as provided herein.

          (e) Notice Irrevocable. Any Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) made pursuant to subparagraph 2.2(b) shall be irrevocable and Borrowers shall be bound to borrow the funds requested therein in accordance therewith.

          (f) Agent’s Election. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) pursuant to subparagraph 2.2(b), Agent shall elect, in its discretion, (i) to have the terms of subparagraph 2.2(g) apply to such requested Borrowing, or (ii) to request Bank of America to make a Non-Ratable Loan pursuant to the terms of subparagraph 2.2(h) in the amount of the requested Borrowing; provided, however, that if Bank of America declines in its sole discretion to make a Non-Ratable Loan pursuant to subparagraph 2.2(h), Agent shall elect to have the terms of subparagraph 2.2(g) apply to such requested Borrowing.

          (g) Making of Revolving Loans.

               (i) In the event that Agent shall elect to have the terms of this subparagraph 2.2(g) apply to a requested Borrowing as described in subparagraph 2.2(f), or in the case of any request by a Borrower for a Borrowing of LIBOR Revolving Loans, then promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing or telephonic notice pursuant to subparagraph 2.2(b), Agent shall notify Lenders by telecopy, telephone or other similar form of transmission, of the requested Borrowing. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Agent in immediately available funds, to such account of Agent as Agent may designate, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the Funding Date applicable thereto. After Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans, Agent shall make the proceeds of such Revolving Loans available to Borrowers on the applicable Funding Date by transferring same day funds equal to the proceeds of such Revolving Loans received by Agent to the account of Borrowers, designated in writing by Borrowers and acceptable to Agent; provided, however, that the amount of Revolving Loans so made on any date shall in no event exceed the Excess Availability on such date.

               (ii) Unless Agent receives notice from a Lender at least one Business Day prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to Agent for the account of Borrowers the amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, Agent may assume that each Lender has made such amount available to Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made its full amount available to Agent in immediately available funds and Agent in such circumstances has made available to Borrowers such amount, that Lender shall on the Business Day following such Funding Date make such amount available to Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period. A notice by Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this subparagraph shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, Agent will notify Borrowers of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Agent, Borrowers shall pay such amount to Agent for Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate applicable at the time to the Revolving Loans comprising such Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan on any Funding Date (any such Lender, prior to the cure of such failure, being hereinafter referred to as a “Defaulting Lender”) shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation hereunder to make a Revolving Loan on such Funding Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Revolving Loan to be made by such other Lender on any Funding Date.

               (iii) Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by Borrowers to Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit; nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder. Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent. Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to Borrowers the amount of all such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Any amounts so re-lent to Borrowers shall bear interest at the rate applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans and for all other purposes of this Agreement shall be treated as if they were Revolving Loans, provided, however, that for purposes of voting

or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents and determining Pro Rata Shares, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender”. Until a Defaulting Lender cures its failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing (A) such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to any portion of the Unused Line Fee or the Letter of Credit Fee, and (B) the Unused Line Fee and Letter of Credit Fee shall accrue in favor of the Lenders which have funded their respective Pro Rata Shares of such requested Borrowing and shall be allocated among such performing Lenders ratably based upon their relative Commitments. This Paragraph shall remain effective with respect to such Lender until such time as the Defaulting Lender shall no longer be in default of any of its obligations under this Agreement. The terms of this Paragraph shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, or relieve or excuse the performance by Borrowers of their duties and obligations hereunder.

          (h) Making of Non-Ratable Loans.

               (i) In the event Agent shall elect, with the consent of Bank of America, to have the terms of this subparagraph 2.2(h) apply to a requested Borrowing as described in subparagraph 2.2(f), Bank of America shall make a Revolving Loan in the amount of such Borrowing (any such Revolving Loan made solely by Bank of America pursuant to this subparagraph 2.2(h) being referred to as a “Non-Ratable Loan” and such Revolving Loans being referred to collectively as “Non-Ratable Loans”) available to Borrowers on the Funding Date applicable thereto by transferring same day funds to an account of Borrowers, designated in writing by Borrowers and acceptable to Agent. Each Non-Ratable Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other Revolving Loans except that all payments thereon shall be payable to Bank of America solely for its own account (and for the account of the holder of any participation interest with respect to such Revolving Loan). Agent shall not request Bank of America to make any Non-Ratable Loan if (A) Agent shall have received written notice from any Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section Six will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing, or (B) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Excess Availability on such Funding Date. Agent shall not otherwise be required to determine whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section Six have been satisfied or the requested Borrowing would exceed the Excess Availability on the Funding Date applicable thereto prior to making, in its sole discretion, any Non-Ratable Loan.

               (ii) The Non-Ratable Loans shall be secured by the Agent’s Liens in and to the Collateral, shall constitute Revolving Loans and Obligations hereunder, and shall bear interest at the rate applicable to the Base Rate Revolving Loans from time to time.

          (i) Agent Advances.

               (i) Subject to the limitations set forth in the provisos contained in this subparagraph 2.2(i)(i), Agent is hereby authorized by Borrowers and Lenders, from time to time in Agent’s sole discretion, (A) after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section Six have not been satisfied, to make Base Rate Revolving Loans to Borrowers on behalf of Lenders which Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (2) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (3) to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including costs, fees and

expenses as described in Paragraph 13.1 (any of the advances described in this subparagraph 2.2(i)(i) being hereinafter referred to as “Agent Advances”); provided, however, that Required Lenders may at any time revoke Agent’s authorization contained in this subparagraph 2.2(i) to make Agent Advances, any such revocation to be in writing and to become effective prospectively upon Agent’s receipt thereof; provided further, however, that (a) if the Pro Rata Share of the Required Lenders revoking such authorization does not exceed fifty-one percent (51%), such revocation shall become effective 120 days after Agent’s receipt thereof, or (b) if the Default or Event of Default would require consent of all Lenders to waive or amend, such authorization may be revoked by any Lender effective 120 days after Agent’s receipt thereof; and provided further, however, that no such Agent Advance shall cause the Loan (including such Agent Advance) to exceed the Total Credit Facility.

               (ii) The Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand and secured by the Agent’s Liens in and to the Collateral, shall constitute Revolving Loans and Obligations hereunder, and shall bear interest at the rate applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans from time to time. Agent shall notify each Lender in writing of each such Agent Advance.

          (j) Settlement. It is agreed that each Lender’s funded portion of the Revolving Loans is intended by Lenders to be equal at all times to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Revolving Loans. Notwithstanding such agreement, Agent, Bank of America and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of or enforceable by Borrowers) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among them as to the Revolving Loans, the Non-Ratable Loans and the Agent Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:

               (i) Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with Lenders on at least a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by Agent, (A) on behalf of Bank of America, with respect to each outstanding Non-Ratable Loan, (B) for itself, with respect to each Agent Advance, and (C) with respect to collections received, in each case, by notifying Lenders of such requested Settlement by telecopy, telephone or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 12:00 p.m., noon (New York, New York time) on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Lender (other than Bank of America in the case of Non-Ratable Loans, and Agent in the case of Agent Advances) shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of the Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances with respect to which Settlement is requested available to Agent, to such account of Agent as Agent may designate, not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York, New York time), on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, which may occur before or after the occurrence or during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section Six have then been satisfied. Such amounts made available to Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance and, together with the portion of such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance representing Bank of America’s Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, Agent shall (A) on behalf of Bank of America, with respect to each outstanding Non-Ratable Loan, and (B) for itself, with respect to each Agent Advance, be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) days from and after the Settlement Date and thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to the Revolving Loans.

               (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, not more than one (1) Business Day after demand is made by Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and regardless of whether Agent has requested a Settlement with respect to a Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance), each other Lender (A) shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and receive from Bank of America or the Agent, as applicable, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance and (B) if Settlement has not previously occurred with respect to such Non-Ratable Loans or Agent Advances, upon demand by Bank of America or Agent, as applicable, shall pay to Bank of America or Agent, as applicable, as the purchase price of such participation an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Non-Ratable Loans or Agent Advances. If such amount is not in fact made available to Agent by any Lender, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) days from and after such demand and thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans.

               (iii) From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender purchases an undivided interest and participation in any Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance pursuant to clause (ii) preceding, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent in respect of such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance.

               (iv) Between Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent no Agent Advances are outstanding, may pay over to Bank of America any payments received by Agent, which in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Base Rate Revolving Loans, for application to Bank of America’s Base Rate Revolving Loans including Non-Ratable Loans. If, as of any Settlement Date, collections received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to Bank of America’s Revolving Loans (other than to Non-Ratable Loans or Agent Advances in which such Lender has not yet funded its purchase of a participation pursuant to subparagraph 2.2(j)(ii) above), as provided for in the previous sentence, Bank of America shall pay to Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, to be applied to the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Lenders, an amount such that each Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans. During the period between Settlement Dates, Bank of America with respect to Non-Ratable Loans, Agent with respect to Agent Advances, and each Lender with respect to the Revolving Loans other than Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the actual average daily amount of funds employed by Bank of America, Agent and the other Lenders.

          (k) Notation. Agent shall record on its books the principal amount of the Revolving Loans owing to each Lender, including the Non-Ratable Loans owing to Bank of America, and the Agent Advances owing to Agent, from time to time. In addition, each Lender is authorized, at such Lender’s option, to note the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of such Lender’s Revolving Loans in its books and records, including computer records, such books and records constituting presumptive evidence, absent manifest error, of the accuracy of the information contained therein.

          (l) Lenders’ Failure to Perform. All Revolving Loans (other than Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances) shall be made by Lenders simultaneously and in

accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder, (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder, and (iii) the obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several, not joint and several.

          (m) Loans under Existing Loan Agreement. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that as of the Closing Date (i) the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans under the Existing Loan Agreement equals $[_______________] and that such Revolving Loans are continued as Revolving Loans hereunder, and (ii) there are no Letters of Credit outstanding under the Existing Loan Agreement. All Commitments (as defined in the Existing Loan Agreement) under the Existing Loan Agreement shall hereinafter be assigned or re-allocated among the Commitments hereunder, and after giving effect hereto, the percentages of the Commitments are as set forth on the signature pages of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, in order to effect the continuation of the outstanding Loans contemplated by the preceding sentence, the amount to be funded on the Closing Date by each Lender hereunder in respect of its Commitments shall be reduced by the principal amount of such Lender’s Loans under the Existing Loan Agreement outstanding on the Closing Date.

     2.3 Books and Records; Monthly Statements. Each Borrower agrees that Agent’s and each Lender’s books and records showing the Obligations and the transactions pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be admissible in any action or proceeding arising therefrom, and shall constitute rebuttably presumptive proof thereof, irrespective of whether any Obligation is also evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument. Agent will provide to Borrowers a monthly statement of Loans, payments, and other transactions pursuant to this Agreement. Such statement shall be deemed correct, accurate, and binding on Borrowers and an account stated (except for reversals and reapplications of payments made as provided in Paragraph 2.4 and corrections of errors discovered by Agent), unless Borrowers notify Agent in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days after such statement is rendered. In the event a timely written notice of objections is given by Borrowers, only the items to which exception is expressly made will be considered to be disputed by Borrowers.

     2.4 Apportionment Application and Reversal of Payments. Principal and interest payments shall be apportioned ratably among Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Loans to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and payments of the fees shall, as applicable, be apportioned ratably among Lenders. All payments shall be remitted to Agent and all such payments not relating to principal or interest of specific Loans, or not constituting payment of specific fees, and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, shall be applied, ratably, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements (excluding, however, any such amounts relating to Bank Products) then due to Agent from Borrowers; second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to Lenders from the Borrowers; third, to pay interest due in respect of all Revolving Loans, including Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances; fourth, to pay or prepay principal of the Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances; fifth, to pay or prepay principal of the Revolving Loans (other than Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances) and unpaid reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit; and sixth, to the payment of any other Obligation (including any amounts relating to Bank Products) due to Agent or any Lender by Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to the

contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by Borrowers, or unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, neither Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payments which it receives to any LIBOR Revolving Loan, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such LIBOR Revolving Loan, or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding Base Rate Revolving Loans. Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender, pursuant to the applicable wire transfer instructions received from each Lender in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive, subject to a Settlement delay as provided for in subparagraph 2.2(j). Agent and Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Obligations.

     2.5 Interest.

          (a) Interest Rates. All outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof (including, to the extent permitted by law, on interest thereon not paid when due) from the date made until paid in full in cash at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate or the LIBOR Rate and subparagraphs 2.5(a)(i) or (ii), as applicable, but not to exceed the Maximum Rate described in Paragraph 2.7. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 2.6, any of the Loans may be converted into, or continued as, Base Rate Revolving Loans or LIBOR Revolving Loans in the manner provided in Paragraph 2.6. If at any time Loans are outstanding with respect to which notice has not been delivered to Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the basis for determining the interest rate applicable thereto, then those Loans shall be Base Rate Revolving Loans and shall bear interest at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate until notice to the contrary has been given to Agent and such notice has become effective. Except as otherwise provided herein, the outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) shall bear interest as follows:

               (i) For all Revolving Loans and such other Obligations which are not LIBOR Revolving Loans, then at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and

               (ii) For all Revolving Loans and such other Obligations which are LIBOR Revolving Loans, then at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate (but no less than 1.00%) plus the Applicable Margin.

Each change in the Base Rate shall be reflected in the interest rate described in clause (i) above as of the effective date(s) thereof, as provided in the definition of “Base Rate” in Paragraph 1.1 above. All interest charges shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest accrued on all Loans will be payable in arrears on the last day of each month for such month and on the Maturity Date and each Borrower expressly authorizes Agent to charge the Loan Account for the purpose of paying such interest as provided in Paragraph 2.10(d).

          (b) Default Rate. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then, while any such Event of Default is outstanding, all of the Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable thereto.

          (c) Bank Product Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all Bank Product Obligations shall bear interest, if any, at the applicable rate(s)

set forth in such Hedge Agreements or such other agreements and documents governing the Bank Products.

     2.6 Conversion and Continuation Elections.

          (a) Borrowers may, upon irrevocable written notice to Agent in accordance with subparagraph 2.6(b):

               (i) elect, as of any Business Day, in the case of Base Rate Revolving Loans to convert any such Loans (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $5,000,000.00, or that is in an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof) into LIBOR Revolving Loans; or

               (ii) elect, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any LIBOR Revolving Loans having Interest Periods expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $5,000,000.00, or that is in an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof);

provided, that if at any time the aggregate amount of LIBOR Revolving Loans in respect of any Borrowing is reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part thereof to be less than $5,000,000.00, such LIBOR Revolving Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Revolving Loans, and on and after such date the right of Borrowers to continue such Loans as, and convert such Loans into, LIBOR Revolving Loans, as the case may be, shall terminate, and provided further that if the notice shall fail to specify the duration of the Interest Period, such Interest Period shall be one month.

          (b) Borrowers shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “B”, to be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) at least three Business Days in advance of the Conversion/Continuation Date, if the Loans are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Revolving Loans and specifying: (i) the proposed Conversion/Continuation Date; (ii) the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or renewed; (iii) the type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; and (iv) the duration of the requested Interest Period.

          (c) If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to LIBOR Revolving Loans, Borrowers have failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to LIBOR Revolving Loans or if any Default or Event of Default then exists, Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Revolving Loans into Base Rate Revolving Loans effective as of the expiration date of such Interest Period.

          (d) Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation. All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans with respect to which the notice was given held by each Lender.

          (e) During the existence of a Default or Event of Default, Borrowers may not elect to have a Loan converted into or continued as a LIBOR Revolving Loan.

          (f) After giving effect to any conversion or continuation of Loans, there may not be more than five (5) different Interest Periods in effect.

     2.7 Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any interest rate provided for hereunder exceed the maximum rate permissible for corporate borrowers under applicable law for loans of the type provided for hereunder (the “Maximum Rate”). If, in any month, any interest rate, absent such limitation, would have exceeded the Maximum Rate, then the interest rate for that month shall be the Maximum Rate, and, if in future months, that interest rate would otherwise be less than the Maximum Rate, then that interest rate shall remain at the Maximum Rate until such time as the amount of interest paid hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been paid if the same had not been limited by the Maximum Rate. In the event that, upon payment in full of the Obligations under this Agreement, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which would, but for this Paragraph 2.7, have been paid or accrued if the interest rates otherwise set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then Borrowers shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay Agent, for the account of Lenders, an amount equal to the difference between (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest which would have been charged if the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect or (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued had the interest rates otherwise set forth in this Agreement, at all times, been in effect and (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued under this Agreement. In the event that a court determines that Agent and/or any Lender has received interest and other charges hereunder in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the Obligations other than interest, in the inverse order of maturity, and if there are no Obligations outstanding, the Agent and/or such Lender shall refund to Borrowers such excess.

     2.8 Unused Line Fee. Borrowers agree to pay, on the fifteenth day of each month and on the Maturity Date, to Agent, for the account of Lenders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, an unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”) equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum on the average closing daily amount by which the Total Credit Facility exceeded the sum of the average daily outstanding amount of Revolving Loans and the average daily undrawn face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit during the immediately preceding month or shorter period if calculated on the Maturity Date. The Unused Line Fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. All payments received by Agent shall be deemed to be credited to Borrowers’ Loan Account immediately upon receipt for purposes of calculating the Unused Line Fee pursuant to this Paragraph 2.8.

     2.9 Payment of Revolving Loans. Borrowers shall repay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans, plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, on the Maturity Date. Borrowers may prepay Revolving Loans at any time, and reborrow subject to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to any LIBOR Revolving Loans prepaid by Borrowers prior to the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable thereto, Borrowers agree to pay to Agent for the account of Lenders the amounts described in Paragraph 2.14. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders, the amount, without duplication, by which the sum of outstanding Revolving Loans and the aggregate amount of Pending Revolving Loans exceeds the Availability with any such amount to be payable immediately without notice or demand.

     2.10 Payments by Borrowers.

          (a) All payments to be made by Borrowers shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrowers shall be made to Agent for the account of Lenders, at Agent’s address and shall be made in Dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received by Agent later than 11:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

          (b) Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” herein, whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

          (c) Unless Agent receives notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that Borrowers will not make such payment in full as and when required, Agent may assume that Borrowers have made such payment in full to Agent on such date in immediately available funds and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrowers have not made such payment in full to Agent, each Lender shall repay to Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

          (d) All payments of principal, interest, reimbursement obligations in connection with Letters of Credit and any related credit support for Letters of Credit, fees, premiums and other sums payable hereunder, including all reimbursement for expenses pursuant to Paragraph 13.1, may, at the option of Agent, in its sole discretion, subject only to the terms of this subparagraph 2.10(d), be paid from the proceeds of Revolving Loans made hereunder, whether made following a request by Borrowers pursuant to Paragraph 2.2 or a deemed request as provided in this subparagraph 2.10(d). Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to charge the Loan Account for the purpose of paying principal, interest, reimbursement obligations in connection with Letters of Credit and any related credit support for Letters of Credit, fees, premiums and other sums payable hereunder, including reimbursing expenses pursuant to Paragraph 13.1, and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Revolving Loans (including Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances) and that all such Revolving Loans so made shall be deemed to have been requested by Borrowers pursuant to Paragraph 2.2.

     2.11 Taxes.

          (a) Any and all payments by Borrowers to Agent and each Lender under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes, unless otherwise required by applicable law. In addition, Borrowers shall pay all Other Taxes.

          (b) SUBJECT TO PARAGRAPH 12.9, BORROWERS AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS AGENT AND EACH LENDER FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF INDEMNIFIED TAXES (INCLUDING ANY INDEMNIFIED TAXES

IMPOSED BY ANY JURISDICTION ON AMOUNTS PAYABLE UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH) PAID BY AGENT OR ANY LENDER AND ANY LIABILITY (INCLUDING PENALTIES, INTEREST, ADDITIONS TO TAX AND EXPENSES) ARISING THEREFROM OR WITH RESPECT THERETO, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH INDEMNIFIED TAXES WERE CORRECTLY OR LEGALLY ASSERTED. PAYMENT UNDER THIS INDEMNIFICATION SHALL BE MADE WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE AGENT OR SUCH LENDER MAKES WRITTEN DEMAND THEREFOR.

          (c) If Borrowers shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Agent or any Lender, then:

               (i) If such Taxes or Other Taxes are Indemnified Taxes and subject to Paragraph 12.9, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Paragraph) Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made;

               (ii) Borrowers shall make such deductions and withholdings;

               (iii) Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law; and

               (iv) Borrowers shall also pay to each Lender or Agent for the account of such Lender, at the time interest is paid, all additional amounts which the respective Lender specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield such Lender would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.

          (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment by Borrowers of Indemnified Taxes, Borrowers shall furnish Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

          (e) If Borrowers are required to pay additional amounts to Agent or any Lender pursuant to subparagraph (c) of this Paragraph, if any Lender requests compensation under Paragraph 2.13 or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Paragraph 2.12., then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office so as to eliminate any such additional payment by Borrowers which may thereafter accrue, if such change in the judgment of such Lender is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

     2.12 Illegality.

          (a) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Requirement of Law after the Closing Date, or any change in any Requirement of Law after the Closing Date, or in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law after the Closing Date, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority after the Closing Date has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make LIBOR Revolving Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrowers through Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make LIBOR Revolving Loans shall be suspended until such

Lender notifies Agent and Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

          (b) If any Lender determines that it is unlawful to maintain any LIBOR Revolving Loan, Borrowers shall, upon their receipt of notice of such fact and demand from such Lender (with a copy to Agent), prepay in full such LIBOR Revolving Loans of such Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and amounts required under Paragraph 2.14, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Revolving Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Revolving Loan. If Borrowers are required to so prepay any LIBOR Revolving Loan, then concurrently with such prepayment, Borrowers shall borrow from the affected Lender, in the amount of such repayment, a Base Rate Revolving Loan.

     2.13 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.

          (a) If any Lender determines that, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in the interpretation of any law or regulation after the Closing Date or (ii) the compliance by such Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) after the Closing Date, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any LIBOR Revolving Loans, then Borrowers shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Agent), pay to Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for increased costs.

          (b) If any Lender shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation after the Closing Date, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation after the Closing Date, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation after the Closing Date by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any Capital Adequacy Regulation, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital) determines that amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its lending commitment, loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement then, upon demand of such Lender to Borrowers through Agent, Borrowers shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increase.

     2.14 Funding Losses. Borrowers shall reimburse each Lender and hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:

          (a) the failure of Borrowers to make on a timely basis any payment of principal of any LIBOR Revolving Loan;

          (b) the failure of Borrowers to borrow, continue or convert a Loan after Borrowers have given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation; or

          (c) the prepayment or other payment (including after acceleration thereof) of any LIBOR Revolving Loan on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period;

including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its LIBOR Revolving Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

     2.15 Inability to Determine Rates. If Agent determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Revolving Loan, or that the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Revolving Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders of funding such Loan, Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Revolving Loans hereunder shall be suspended until Agent revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrowers may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation then submitted by it. If Borrowers do not revoke such Notice, Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by Borrowers, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by Borrowers, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Revolving Loans instead of LIBOR Revolving Loans.

     2.16 Certificates of Lenders. Any Lender, when claiming reimbursement or compensation under this Section Two, shall deliver to Borrowers (with a copy to Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers in the absence of manifest error.

     2.17 Survival. The agreements and obligations of Borrowers in this Section Two shall survive the payment of all other Obligations.

     2.18 Letters of Credit.

          (a) Issuance. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall, upon the Borrowers’ request from time to time, cause stand-by letters of credit to be issued for the Borrowers’ account (the “Letters of Credit”). The Letter of Credit Issuer will not cause to be opened any Letter of Credit if: (i) the maximum face amount of the requested Letter of Credit would exceed the Unused Letter of Credit Subfacility at such time; (ii) the maximum face amount of the requested Letter of Credit, and all commissions, fees, and charges due from Borrowers to Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the opening thereof, would cause the Borrowers’ remaining Excess Availability to be less than zero at such time or would exceed the Total Credit Facility at such time; or (iii) the expiration date of the Letter of Credit would exceed the Maturity Date or be greater than twelve (12) months from the date of issuance. All payments made and expenses incurred by the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to or in connection with the Letters of Credit will, at the Agent’s discretion, be charged to the Borrowers’ Loan Account as Base Rate Revolving Loans.

          (b) Other Conditions. In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent contained in Section Six, the obligation of the Letter of Credit Issuer to cause to be issued any Letter of Credit is subject to the following conditions precedent having been satisfied in a manner satisfactory to the Agent:

               (i) The Borrowers shall have delivered to the Letter of Credit Issuer, at such times and in such manner as such Letter of Credit Issuer may prescribe, an application in form and substance satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer for the issuance of the Letter of Credit and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to the terms thereof, and the form and terms of the proposed Letter of Credit shall be satisfactory to the Agent and Letter of Credit Issuer; and

               (ii) As of the date of issuance, no order of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain money center banks generally from issuing letters of credit of the type and in the amount of the proposed Letter of Credit, and no law, rule or regulation applicable to money center banks generally and no request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over money center banks generally shall prohibit, or request that the Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the issuance of such Letters of Credit.

          (c) Issuance of Letters of Credit.

               (i) Request for Issuance. The Borrowers shall give the Agent two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice of the Borrowers’ request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the original face amount of the Letter of Credit requested, the effective date (which date shall be a Business Day) of issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit may be drawn in a single or in partial draws, the date on which such requested Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day), the purpose for which such Letter of Credit is to be issued, and the beneficiary of the requested Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall attach to such notice the proposed form of the Letter of Credit that the Agent is requested to cause to be issued.

               (ii) Responsibilities of the Agent; Issuance. Agent shall determine, as of the Business Day immediately preceding the requested effective date of issuance of the Letter of Credit set forth in the notice from Borrowers pursuant to subparagraph 2.18(c)(1), (A) the amount of the applicable Unused Letter of Credit Subfacility and (B) the Availability and Excess Availability as of such date. If (i) the undrawn amount of the requested Letter of Credit is not greater than the Unused Letter of Credit Subfacility and (ii) the amount of such requested Letter of Credit and all commissions, fees, and charges due from Borrowers in connection with the opening thereof would not exceed the Excess Availability, Agent shall, so long as the other conditions hereof and of Section Six are met, cause the requested Letter of Credit to be issued on such requested effective date of issuance.

               (iii) Notice of Issuance. On each Settlement Date, Agent shall give notice to each Lender of the issuance of all Letters of Credit issued since the last Settlement Date.

               (iv) No Extensions or Amendment. The Agent shall not be obligated to cause any Letter of Credit to be extended or amended unless (A) the requirements of this Paragraph 2.18 are met as though a new Letter of Credit were being requested and issued, and (B) the Agent consents to such extension or amendment, which it may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion.

          (d) Payments Pursuant to Letters of Credit.

               (i) Payment of Letter of Credit Obligations. The Borrowers agree to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for any draw under any Letter of Credit immediately upon demand, and to pay the issuer of the Letter of Credit (or the Agent, for the account of such issuer) the amount of all other obligations and other amounts payable to such issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit immediately when due, irrespective of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrowers may have at any time against such issuer or any other Person.

               (ii) Revolving Loans to Satisfy Reimbursement Obligations. In the event that the issuer of any Letter of Credit honors a draw under such Letter of Credit and the Borrowers shall not have repaid such amount to the issuer of such Letter of Credit pursuant to subparagraph 2.18(d)(i), such drawing shall constitute a request by the Borrowers to the Agent for a Borrowing of a Base Rate Revolving Loan in the amount of such drawing. The Funding Date with respect to such Borrowing shall be the date of such drawing.

          (e) Participations.

               (i) Purchase of Participations. Immediately upon issuance of any Letter of Credit in accordance with subparagraph 2.18(c), each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the face amount of such Letter of Credit (including all obligations of Borrowers with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto).

               (ii) Sharing of Reimbursement Obligation Payments. Whenever Agent receives a payment from Borrowers on account of reimbursement obligations in respect of a Letter of Credit as to which the Agent has previously received for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer thereof payment from a Lender pursuant to subparagraph 2.18(d)(ii), Agent shall promptly pay to such Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment from Borrowers in Dollars. Each such payment shall be made by Agent on the Business Day on which Agent receives immediately available funds paid to such Person pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, if received prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on such Business Day and otherwise on the next succeeding Business Day.

               (iii) Documentation. Upon the request of any Lender, Agent shall furnish to such Lender copies of any Letter of Credit, reimbursement agreements executed in connection therewith, applications for any Letter of Credit, and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Lender.

               (iv) Obligations Irrevocable. The obligations of each Lender to make payments to Agent with respect to any Letter of Credit or with respect to their participation therein or with respect to the Revolving Loans made as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit and the obligations of Borrower for whose account the Letter of Credit was issued to make payments to Agent, for the account of Lenders, shall be irrevocable, not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever, including any of the following circumstances:

                    (1) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

                    (2) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which Borrowers may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Lender, Agent, the issuer of such Letter of Credit, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between Borrowers or any other Person and the beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit);

                    (3) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

                    (4) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;

                    (5) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; or

                    (6) the failure of Borrowers to satisfy the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section Six.

          (f) Recovery or Avoidance of Payments. In the event any payment by or on behalf of Borrowers received by Agent with respect to any Letter of Credit and distributed by Agent to Lenders on account of their respective participations therein is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from Agent in connection with any receivership, liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding, Lenders shall, upon demand by Agent, pay to Agent their respective Pro Rata Shares of such amount set aside, avoided or recovered, together with interest at the rate required to be paid by Agent upon the amount required to be repaid by it.

          (g) Compensation for Letters of Credit. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, with respect to each Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Fee specified in, and in accordance with the terms of, Paragraph 2.19.

          (h) Indemnification; Exoneration; Power of Attorney.

               (i) INDEMNIFICATION. IN ADDITION TO AMOUNTS PAYABLE AS ELSEWHERE PROVIDED IN THIS PARAGRAPH 2.18, THE BORROWERS HEREBY AGREE TO PROTECT, INDEMNIFY, PAY AND SAVE THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, LOSSES, COSTS, CHARGES AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ANY REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES) WHICH ANY LENDER OR THE AGENT MAY INCUR OR BE SUBJECT TO AS A CONSEQUENCE, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, OF THE ISSUANCE OF ANY LETTER OF CREDIT OR THE PROVISION OF ANY CREDIT SUPPORT OR ENHANCEMENT IN CONNECTION THEREWITH UNLESS RESULTING FROM SUCH LENDER’S OR THE AGENT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. THE AGREEMENT IN THIS

SUBPARAGRAPH 2.18(H)(I) SHALL SURVIVE PAYMENT OF ALL OBLIGATIONS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

               (ii) Assumption of Risk by the Borrowers. As among the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Agent, the Borrowers assume all risks (except the risk of gross negligence or willful misconduct by any Lender or the Agent) of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Lenders and the Agent, when acting in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not be responsible for: (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any Person in connection with the application for and issuance of and presentation of drafts with respect to any of the Letters of Credit, even if it should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) the failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions, or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (G) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (H) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent or the Lenders, including, without limitation, any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Public Authority. None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any rights or power of the Agent or any Lender under this Paragraph 2.18.

               (iii) Exoneration. In furtherance and extension, and not in limitation, of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the Agent or any Lender under or in connection with any of the Letters of Credit or any related certificates, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not put the Agent or any Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrowers or relieve the Borrowers of any of its obligations hereunder to any such Person.

               (iv) Indemnification by Lenders. Lenders agree to indemnify each Letter of Credit Issuer (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers and without limiting the obligations of Borrowers hereunder) ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Letter of Credit Issuer in any way relating to or arising out of any Letter of Credit or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document in connection therewith; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse each Letter of Credit Issuer promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs or expenses payable by Borrowers to such Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent that such Letter of Credit

Issuer is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by Borrowers. The agreement contained in this Paragraph shall survive payment in full of all Obligations.

               (v) Account Party. The Borrowers hereby authorize and direct any Letter of Credit Issuer to name the Borrower as the “Account Party” therein and to deliver to the Agent all instruments, documents and other writings and property received by the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit, and to accept and rely upon the Agent’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit or the application therefor.

          (i) Supporting Letter of Credit; Cash Collateral. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph 2.18 and any other provision of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit is outstanding upon the termination of this Agreement, then upon such termination the Borrowers shall deposit with the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, with respect to each Letter of Credit then outstanding, as the Majority Lenders, in their discretion, shall specify, either (A) a standby letter of credit (a “Supporting Letter of Credit”) in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, issued by an issuer satisfactory to the Agent in an amount equal to the greatest amount for which such Letter of Credit may be drawn plus any fees and expenses associated with such Letter of Credit, under which Supporting Letter of Credit the Agent is entitled to draw amounts necessary to reimburse the Agent and the Lenders for payments made by the Agent and the Lenders under such Letter of Credit or under any credit support or enhancement provided through the Agent with respect thereto and any fees and expenses associated with such Letter of Credit or credit support, or (B) cash in amounts necessary to reimburse the Agent and the Lenders for payments made by the Agent or the Lenders under such Letter of Credit or under any credit support or enhancement provided through the Agent and any fees and expenses associated with such Letter of Credit or credit support. Such Supporting Letter of Credit or deposit of cash shall be held by the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, as security for, and to provide for the payment of, the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letters of Credit or such credit support remaining outstanding.

     2.19 Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, for each Letter of Credit, a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to three percent (3.00%) per annum of the undrawn face amount of each Letter of Credit issued for the Borrowers’ account at the Borrowers’ request, plus all out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the application for, processing of, issuance of, or amendment to any Letter of Credit, which costs, fees and expenses shall include a “fronting fee” payable to such issuer. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the fifteenth day of each month following any month in which a Letter of Credit was issued and/or in which a Letter of Credit remains outstanding and on the Maturity Date. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be payable when a Letter of Credit is issued, renewed, extended, or amended, as appropriate for the period of time during which the Letter of Credit will be outstanding. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. If any Event of Default occurs, then, from the date such Event of Default occurs until it is cured, or if not cured until all Obligations are paid and performed in full, the Letter of Credit Fee shall be increased to five percent (5.00%) per annum.

     2.20 Bank Products. Borrowers may request and Bank of America may, in its sole and absolute discretion, arrange for Borrowers to obtain, from Bank of America, Bank of America’s

Affiliates or the other Lenders, Bank Products although Borrowers are not required to do so. To the extent Bank Products are provided by an Affiliate of Bank of America or an Affiliate of a Lender, Borrowers agree to indemnify and hold Bank of America and the Lenders harmless from any and all costs and obligations now or hereafter incurred by Bank of America or any of the Lenders which arise from the indemnity given by Bank of America to its Affiliates or a Lender to its Affiliates related to such Bank Products except for costs or obligations resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Bank of America or any of the Lenders. The agreement contained in this Paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of Bank Products from Bank of America, Bank of America’s Affiliates or any other Lender (a) is in the sole and absolute discretion of Bank of America, Bank of America’s Affiliates, or other Lender, as applicable and (b) is subject to all rules and regulations of Bank of America, Bank of America’s Affiliates or such other Lender, as applicable.

     2.21 Loan Administration.

Each Borrower hereby designates Regional as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents (“Borrower Agent”), including requests for Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications with Agent, Bank or any Lender, preparation and delivery of Borrowing Base and financial reports, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with Agent, Bank or any Lender. Borrower Agent, Agent and the Lenders hereby accept such appointment. Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any notice of Borrowing) delivered by Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower. Agent and Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower. Agent and Lenders may give any notice or communication, with a Borrower hereunder to Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower.

Each Borrower agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.

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

SECTION THREE — TERM

     3.1 Term of Agreement and Loan Repayment. This agreement shall have a term commencing on the date this Agreement becomes effective, and ending on _______, 2014, or such earlier by acceleration or otherwise (“Maturity Date”). The Loan shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date without notice or demand and shall be repaid to Agent, for the account of Lenders, by a wire transfer of immediately available funds. Borrowers may terminate

this Agreement prior to the Maturity Date by: (a) giving Agent and Lenders at least thirty (30) days prior notice of intention to terminate this Agreement; (b) paying and performing, as appropriate, all Obligations on or prior to the effective date of termination; (c) paying to Agent, for the account of the Lenders, an early termination fee equal to (i) one percent (1.00%) of the outstanding Obligations in the event the effective date of termination occurs at any time on or prior to ________, 2012, and (ii) one-half of one percent (0.50%) of the outstanding Obligations in the event the effective date of termination occurs at any time after ________, 2012 and prior to the Maturity Date; and (d) with respect to any LIBOR Revolving Loans prepaid in connection with such termination prior to the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the payment of the amounts described in Paragraph 2.14.

     3.2 Termination of Security Interests. Notwithstanding termination of this Agreement, until all Obligations have been fully repaid (other than indemnification and other contingent obligations for which no amount is due and owing and for which no claim has been made), Agent, for the account of Lenders, shall retain a security interest in all Collateral existing and thereafter arising and Borrowers shall continue to assign to Agent, for the account of Lenders, all Contracts and security therefor and shall continue to immediately turn over to Agent, in kind, all collections received respecting the Contracts. After termination, and when Agent has received payment in full of all Obligations (other than indemnification and other contingent obligations for which no amount is due and owing and for which no claim has been made), for the account of the Lenders, the security interest created hereby shall terminate and all right to the Collateral shall revert to the Borrowers and Agent shall promptly execute such evidence of termination of all security agreements and release of the security interests given by Borrowers to Agent as Borrower may reasonably request.

SECTION FOUR — SECURITY INTEREST IN COLLATERAL

     4.1 Creation of Security Interest in Collateral. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally grants, transfers, and assigns to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, all its right, title, and interest in all the Collateral, whether presently existing or hereafter acquired or arising, in order to secure prompt payment and performance by each Borrower of all its Obligations. Agent’s title and security interest in the Collateral shall attach to all the Collateral without further act by Agent or Borrowers. In the event any Collateral, including proceeds, is evidenced by or consists of Instruments, Borrowers shall, upon the request of Agent, endorse, assign, and deliver to Agent such Instruments.

     4.2 Borrower’s Representations and Warranties Re Collateral. Each Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders that so long as such Borrower is obligated to Agent and Lenders, that:

          (a) the Collateral shall be owned solely by such Borrower, and no other Person, other than Agent and Lenders, has or will have any right, title, interest, claim or lien therein except for Permitted Liens;

          (b) except as specifically consented to in writing by Agent, such Borrower shall not within any one calendar year grant more than two extensions of time for the payment,

and shall not compromise for less than the full face value, or release in whole or in part any Person liable for the payment of, or allow any credit whatsoever against, any portion of the Collateral, except for the amount of cash to be paid upon any such Collateral or any instrument or document representing such Collateral, and that the Collateral, including any monies resulting from the lease, rental, sale or other disposition thereof, shall remain free and clear of any liens, excepting for liens hereby granted to Agent and Lenders and Permitted Liens;

          (c) Such Borrower shall pay and discharge, when due, all taxes, levies, assessments and other charges upon the Collateral, except to the extent the validity thereof is being contested in good faith by proper proceedings which stay the imposition of any penalty, fine or Lien resulting from non-payment thereof and with respect to which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been set aside for the payment thereof; and

          (d) Only Contracts and Security Documents in a form approved in writing by Agent shall be used by such Borrower for all transactions which may now exist and which may exist in the future. No Borrower shall materially vary the terms of such form of Contracts and Security Documents without Agent’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or in conflict with any applicable laws.

     4.3 Financing Statements. Each Borrower agrees, at its own expense, to execute financing statements, continuation statements, and assignments of financing statements provided for by the Code, together with any and all other instruments or documents and to take such other action, including delivery, as may be required to perfect or maintain Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, and to execute and record an assignment of any deed of trust or mortgage naming such Borrower as the beneficiary and a Contract Debtor (or any Guarantor) as trustor. Each Borrower hereby (i) authorizes Agent and Agent’s designee to execute and file or record, or file or record without signature as the case may be where permitted by law, at any time any such financing statements, continuation statements, and assignments and amendments thereto on such Borrower’s behalf and (ii) ratifies such authorization to the extent that the Agent has filed any such financing statements, continuation statements and assignments and amendments thereto, prior to the date hereof.

     4.4 Location of Collateral. Each Borrower represents and warrants that except for Collateral which has been delivered to Agent under the terms hereof: (a) Schedule 4.4 is a correct and complete list of the location of all of books and records concerning the Collateral, the locations of the Collateral, and location of all such Borrower’s places of business as of the Closing Date; and (b) the Collateral shall remain at all times in the possession of such Borrower. Each Borrower covenants and agrees that, except for Collateral in the possession of Agent, it will not maintain the Collateral at any location other than those listed in Schedule 4.4, and will not otherwise change or add to those locations, unless it gives Agent at least 30 days prior notice thereof and executes and delivers to Agent any and all financing statements and other documents that Agent reasonably requests in connection therewith. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Borrower shall upon Agent’s request immediately deliver to Agent all Contracts and related Security Document then existing and thereafter arising.

     4.5 Protection of Collateral; Reimbursement. Each Borrower shall pay all expenses of protecting, storing, insuring, handling, maintaining, and shipping the Collateral and any and

all excise, property, sales, and use taxes levied by any state, federal or local authority on any of the Collateral or in respect of the sale thereof.

     If any Borrower fails promptly to pay any portion thereof when due, Agent may, at its option, but shall not be required to, pay the same and charge any Borrower’s account under this Agreement therefor, and each Borrower agrees promptly to reimburse Agent therefor with interest accruing thereon daily at the rate of interest then in effect under the Notes. All sums so paid or incurred by Agent for any of the foregoing and any and all sums for which Borrowers may become liable under this Agreement and all reasonable costs and expenses (including Agent’s Expenses) which Agent may incur in enforcing or protecting its lien or rights and interest in the Collateral or any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement or any other agreement between the parties hereto or in respect of any of the transactions occurring thereunder until paid by Borrowers to Agent with interest at the rate of interest then in effect under the Notes, shall be considered as additional indebtedness owing by Borrowers to Agent under this Agreement and, as such, shall be secured by all the Collateral. Except for Agent or Lenders’ gross negligence or willful misconduct, 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 or for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any carrier, forwarding agency, or other Person whatsoever, but the same shall be at Borrowers’ sole risk.

     4.6 Release of Collateral. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, upon Borrower’s request, Agent shall release its security interest in any Contract(s) (and the Security Documents related thereto) included in the Collateral so long as (a) Borrower obtains Agent’s prior written consent to such release, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (b) no Default or Event of Default exists at the time such Contract(s) is to be released; (c) Borrower has entered into a written contract for the sale of such Contract(s) and has delivered to Agent a fully executed copy of such written contract; (d) if the Borrowers have no Excess Availability after giving effect to the sale, either (i) Borrower pledges to Agent additional Collateral equivalent to such Contract(s) being released, or (ii) Borrower reduces the outstanding, unpaid principal balance of the Notes through payment in an amount equal to the sale price of such Contract(s) being released in the form of cash or the wire transfer of immediately available funds; and (e) immediately following the pledging of additional Collateral or payment of the Notes, a Default or Event of Default does not exist under this Agreement. Upon satisfaction of all of the foregoing conditions, Agent shall release its security interest in such Contract(s) and within a reasonable period of time, return the original such Contract(s) and original Security Documents in its possession, if any, being released. Any distribution of interest or principal, or loss of the Collateral or any of the Property secured thereby, shall not release any Borrower from any of the Obligations.

SECTION FIVE — RECORDS AND SERVICING OF CONTRACTS

     5.1 Records of Contracts. Each Borrower shall keep or will cause to be kept in a safe place, at its chief executive office and other locations set forth on Schedule 4.4 or otherwise agreed to by Agent, proper and accurate books and records pertaining to the Contracts and the other Collateral.

     5.2 Servicing of Contracts. At no expense to Agent or any Lender, each Borrower shall diligently and faithfully perform the following services relating to the Contracts and the other Collateral:

          (a) Borrowers shall collect all payments and other proceeds of the Contracts and other Collateral and, while any portion of the Loan is unpaid, Borrowers shall, after the establishment of the Collection Account referred to in this Paragraph 5.2(a), within three (3) Business Days after receipt thereof, deposit all cash proceeds of the Collateral (including, for example, all regular monthly payments received in connection with the Contracts) into a collection account (“Collection Account”) established by Borrowers and Agent under a certain Deposit Account Control Agreement between Borrowers, Agent, and the bank identified therein (the “Collection Account Agreement”) to be entered into pursuant to Paragraph 8.16. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement, then upon written notice from Agent to the Borrowers, and at all times thereafter any Borrower’s right to withdraw any funds from the Collection Account shall immediately terminate and only Agent shall thereafter have a right to withdraw any funds from the Collection Account. Agent shall reinstate such Borrower’s right to withdraw funds from the Collection Account if no Event of Default is in effect for a 90 day period. Borrowers shall provide Agent monthly or more frequently as requested by Agent with written notification of any Contract under which any scheduled payment thereunder is 60 days or more past due.

          (b) Borrowers shall perform customary insurance follow-up with respect to each policy of insurance covering the Property which is subject to Contracts and Security Documents included in the Collateral.

          (c) Except as permitted under subparagraph 4.2(b), above, Borrowers shall not waive or vary the terms of any Contract in a way that would be adverse to Agent’s interest, and shall not forbear or grant any material indulgence to any Contract Debtor, without the prior written consent of Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

          (d) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, then upon written notice from Agent, all rights of Borrowers to collect any payments due under the Contracts and the Collateral and all rights of Borrowers to exercise the consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to subparagraph 5.2(a), above, shall immediately terminate. Borrowers, at Agent’s request, shall direct all Contract Debtors to make all payments due under the Contracts and the Collateral directly to Agent or to a bank account designated by Agent, and Borrowers shall otherwise cooperate with Agent in that regard. All payments received by Borrowers contrary to this subparagraph 5.2(d) shall be received in trust for the exclusive right of Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of Borrowers, and shall forthwith be delivered to Agent. Agent shall reinstate Borrowers’ rights to collect payments and to exercise its consensual rights if no Event of Default is in effect for a 90-day period.

          (e) Monthly Reports and Additional Reports Re Collateral. Borrowers agree to deliver to Agent, (i) within 15 days after the end of each calendar month during the term of this Agreement, a Collateral and Loan Status Report (the “Borrowing Base Certificate”) and Monthly Report of Delinquent Accounts in forms provided by Agent (or in such other form approved by Agent), containing the information requested therein, and (ii) any other reports regarding the Collateral as Agent may reasonably request at any time and from time to time.

          (f) Verification. Agent may, from time to time, verify directly with Contract Debtors the validity, amount, and any other matters relating to the Contracts and the other

Collateral by means of mail, telephone, or otherwise, either in the name of Borrowers or Agent or such other name as Agent may choose.

any Lender. The warranties and representations shall be cumulative and in addition to all other warranties, representations, and agreements which Borrower shall give or cause to be given to Agent or any Lender, either now or hereafter.

     7.2 Warranties and Representations Regarding Contracts. With respect to the Contracts included in the Collateral:

          (a) To the knowledge of Borrowers after due inquiry, each Contract is a bona fide, valid, and binding obligation of the Contract Debtor, enforceable in accordance with the terms of the Contract except to the extent enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability, and Borrower does not know of any fact which impairs or will impair the validity of any such Contract.

          (b) Each Contract and related Security Documents are free of any claim for credit, deduction, discount, allowance, defense (including the defense of usury), dispute, counterclaim or setoff except to the extent that such claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the business or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrowers.

          (c) Each Contract is free of any prior assignment (except for assignments to a Borrower), superior security interest, lien, claim, or encumbrance in favor of any Person other than Agent except for Permitted Liens.

          (a) All state and federal laws have been complied with by the Borrowers in conjunction with the Collateral, the non-compliance with which would have a material adverse effect on the value, enforceability or collectability of the Collateral.

          (b) At the time of the assignment of any Collateral by any Borrower, such Borrower has good and valid title to, and full right and authority to pledge and collaterally assign, the same.

          (c) The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents create legal and valid Liens on all the Collateral in favor of the Agent and when all proper filings, recordings and other actions necessary to perfect such Liens have been made or taken such Liens will constitute perfected and continuing Liens on all the Collateral, having priority over all other

Liens on the Collateral (except for Permitted Liens) securing all the Obligations, and enforceable against each Borrower and all third parties.

     7.4 Solvent Financial Condition. Immediately prior to each Advance, the present fair salable value of the respective assets of Borrowers and any Guarantors are greater than the amount required to pay their respective liabilities, and each is able to pay its debts as they mature.

Since the date of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to this Agreement, there has been no material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, of any Borrower and any Guarantor.

     7.7 Full Disclosure. The financial statements referred to in Paragraph 7.6 above, this Agreement, and any written statement furnished by Borrowers to Agent or any Lender (copies of which have been previously delivered), do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein or herein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under which it was made; provided, that with respect to any projections and pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above, the Borrowers represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time made in light of the circumstances when made, it being recognized by Agent and Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results as set forth therein by a material amount.

     7.8 Pending Litigation. There are no proceedings pending, or to the knowledge of any Borrower threatened, against or affecting any Borrower or any Guarantor in any court or before any Governmental Authority or arbitration board or tribunal which involve the possibility of materially and adversely affecting the business or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or any Guarantor to perform any of its Obligations.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement and related documents by Borrowers, the grant of the liens to Agent in respect of the Collateral by Borrowers, and compliance by Borrowers with all of the provisions of this Agreement are valid, legal, binding and enforceable in accordance with their terms (except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles relating to enforceability) and will not conflict with or result in any breach of any of the provisions of any bylaws, charter or instrument to which any Borrower is a party. None of the Borrowers are party to any agreement, and none are subject to any corporate restriction, which adversely affects their ability to execute, deliver, and perform the Loan Documents to which they are a party and repay the Obligations owing by it.

     7.12 Taxes. All tax returns required to be filed by any Borrowers and any Guarantor in any jurisdiction have been filed when due (after giving effect to any extensions permitted by applicable law and regulations), and all taxes, assessments, and other governmental charges upon Borrowers, or upon any of its properties, income or franchises, which are due and payable, have been paid when due, except to the extent the validity thereof is being contested in good faith by proper proceedings which stay the imposition of any penalty, fine or Lien resulting from non-payment thereof and with respect to which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been set aside for the payment thereof.

Neither the Borrowers nor any of their Subsidiaries are in default with respect to any note, loan agreement, mortgage, lease, or other material agreement to which such Borrower or any such Subsidiary is a party or by which it is bound, which default would have a material adverse effect on the business or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

     7.18 Use of Proceeds. None of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement (including the use of the proceeds of the Loans) will violate or result in the violation of Section 7 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any regulations issued pursuant thereto, including, without limitation, Regulations T, U and X of the Federal Reserve Board. No Borrower owns or intends to carry or purchase any “margin stock” within the meaning of said Regulation U.

     8.1 Payment of Taxes and Claims. Each Borrower shall pay, before they become delinquent, all taxes, assessments, and other governmental charges imposed upon it or its property or the Collateral and all claims or demands which, if unpaid, might result in the creation of a Lien upon its property or the Collateral except to the extent the validity thereof is being contested in good faith by proper proceedings which stay the imposition of any penalty, fine or Lien resulting from non-payment thereof and with respect to which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been set aside for the payment thereof.

     8.2 Maintenance of Properties and Existence. Each Borrower shall:

     10.2 Default Remedies.

          (a) Acceleration of Obligations: Right to Dispose of Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default as provided in Paragraph 10.1 above, all of the Obligations due from Borrowers to Agent and Lenders, at the option of Majority Lenders, and upon written notice thereof to Borrowers by Agent or any Lender, shall accelerate and become at once due and payable and the Commitments shall immediately terminate; Borrowers shall forthwith pay to Agent, in addition to any and all sums and charges due, the entire principal of and accrued interest on the Notes and all other Obligations; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in subparagraph 10.1(e), the Commitments shall automatically and immediately expire and all Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable without notice or demand of any kind. Agent thereupon shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code and all other legal and equitable rights to which it may be entitled, and Agent may and shall, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, take such action as is required under Paragraph 12.5 hereof. If not previously delivered to Agent, Agent shall also have the right to require Borrowers to assemble the Collateral, at Borrowers’ expense, and make it available to Agent at a place designated by Agent, and Agent shall have the right to take immediate possession of the Collateral and may enter any of the premises of Borrowers or wherever the Collateral shall be located, with or without force or process of law, and to keep and store the same on said premises until sold and if said premises are the property of Borrowers, Borrowers agree not to charge Agent for storage thereof for a period of at least ninety (90) days after the sale or disposition of the Collateral. Borrowers waive the right to require the filing of any undertaking or bond to obtain any such process of law. Ten (10) days notice to Borrowers of any public or private sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be reasonable notice thereof and such sale shall be at such location(s) as Agent shall designate in said notice. The Agent may sell and deliver any Collateral at public or private sales, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Majority Lenders deem advisable, in their sole discretion, and may, if the Agent deems it reasonable, postpone or adjourn any sale of the Collateral by an announcement at the time and place of sale or of such postponed or adjourned sale without giving a new notice of sale. Agent and each Lender shall have the right to bid at such sale on its own behalf. Out of proceeds arising from any such sale, Agent shall retain all costs and charges, including attorneys’ fees for pursuing, reclaiming, taking, keeping, storing, and advertising such Collateral for sale, selling and any and all other charges and expenses in connection therewith. Any balance shall be applied upon the Obligations of Borrowers to Agent and Lenders; and in the event of deficiency, Borrowers shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders. In the event of any surplus, such surplus shall be paid to the party entitled by law to same.

     Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent may, from time to time, attempt to sell all or any part of the Collateral by a private placement restricting the bidder and prospective

purchasers. In so doing, Agent may solicit offers to buy the Collateral, or any part of it, for cash, from a limited number of purchasers deemed by Agent, in its reasonable judgment, to be responsible parties who might be interested in purchasing the Collateral, and if Agent solicits such offers from not less than three such purchasers then the acceptance by Agent of the highest offer obtained therefrom shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of disposition of such Collateral.

          (b) Application of Collateral; Termination of Agreements. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may (and shall, at the direction of Majority Lenders) also, with or without proceeding with such sale or foreclosure or demanding payment of the Obligations, without notice, terminate further performance under this Agreement or any other agreement or agreements between Agent or any Lender and Borrowers without further liability or obligation by Agent or any Lender, and may also, at any time, appropriate and apply on any Obligations any and all Collateral in the possession of Agent or any Lender, and any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts, reserves, indebtedness, or other monies due or owing to Borrowers or held by Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any such financing agreement or otherwise, whether accrued or not; and Agent and Lenders shall not, in any manner, be liable to Borrowers for any failure to make or continue to make any Loans or Advances under this Agreement. Neither such termination, nor the termination of this Agreement by lapse of time, the giving of notice, or otherwise shall absolve, release, or otherwise affect the liability of Borrowers in respect of transactions had prior to such termination, nor affect any of the liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies of Agent or any Lender, but they shall, in all events, continue until all Obligations of Borrowers to Agent and Lenders are satisfied.

          (c) Remedies Cumulative. All undertakings of Borrowers contained in this Agreement, or in any documents referred to herein concurrently, or hereafter entered into, shall be deemed cumulative. The failure or delay of Agent or any Lender to exercise or enforce any rights or remedies under this Agreement or under any of the aforesaid agreements or Collateral shall not operate as a waiver of such rights and remedies, but all such rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until payment of all Loans and Advances and all other Obligations owing or to become owing from Borrowers to Agent and Lenders shall have been fully satisfied, and all rights and remedies herein provided for are cumulative and none are exclusive.

          (d) Collection Account Access. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (and subject to Paragraph 5.2(a) hereof), Agent may (and shall, at the direction of Majority Lenders) notify the bank identified in the Collection Account Agreement to terminate Borrowers’ right to withdraw any funds from the Collection Account identified in the Collection Account Agreement between Borrowers and Agent.

SECTION ELEVEN — AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS; PARTICIPATIONS; ASSIGNMENTS; SUCCESSORS

     11.1 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any departure by Borrowers therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Majority Lenders (or by Agent at the written request of Majority Lenders) and Borrowers, and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent may, in its sole discretion and notwithstanding the limitations contained in clauses (b) and (g) above and any other terms of this Agreement, make Agent Advances in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 2.2(i) in an amount not to exceed five percent (5%) of the Availability.

It is understood and agreed that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Agent, affect the rights or duties of Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

     11.2 Assignments; Participations.

          (a) Any Lender may, with the written consent of Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and written consent of Borrowers so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that no consent of Agent or any Borrower shall be required in connection with any assignment and delegation by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender and no consent of any Borrower shall be required in connection with any assignment and delegation by a Lender to another Lender) (each an “Assignee”) all, or any ratable part of all, of the Loans, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000.00 (provided that, unless an assignor Lender has assigned and delegated all of its Loans and Commitments, no such assignment and/or delegation shall be permitted unless, after giving effect thereto, such assignor Lender retains a Commitment in a minimum amount of $5,000,000.00); provided, however, that Borrowers and Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to Borrowers and Agent by such Lender and the Assignee; (ii) such Lender and its Assignee shall have delivered to Borrowers and Agent an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of Exhibit “C” (“Assignment and Acceptance”), together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment; and (iii) the assignor Lender or Assignee has paid to Agent a processing fee in the amount of $3,000.00.

          (b) From and after the date that Agent notifies the assignor Lender that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the above-referenced processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations, including, but not limited to, the obligation to participate in Letters of Credit and related credit support have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

          (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto or the attachment, perfection, or priority of any Lien granted by Borrowers to Agent or any Lender in the Collateral; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrowers or the performance or observance by Borrowers of any of their obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such

assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers, including the discretionary rights and incidental power, as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

          (d) The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing fee referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (a) of this Section, the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

          (f) Immediately upon satisfaction of the requirements of subparagraph 11.2(a), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto.

          (g) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons (other than a natural person) not Affiliates of any Borrower (a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loans, the Commitment of that Lender and the other interests of that Lender (the “originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrowers and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the originating Lender in connection with the originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than the rights described in Paragraph 11.1 as being rights that are voted on by all Lenders), and all amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation; except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement

are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same limitation as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement.

          (h) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law; provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION TWELVE — THE AGENT

     12.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Bank of America as its Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section Twelve. The provisions of this Section Twelve are solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, and Borrower shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities to Lenders, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including (a) the determination of the applicability of ineligibility criteria with respect to the calculation of the Availability, (b) the making of Agent Advances pursuant to subparagraph 2.2(i), and (c) the exercise of remedies pursuant to Paragraph 10.2, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by Lenders.

     12.2 Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     12.3 Liability of Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrowers or any subsidiary or Affiliate of any Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of Borrowers or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Borrower or any of Borrowers’ Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

     12.4 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of Required Lenders or Majority Lenders, as applicable, as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by all Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of Required Lenders or Majority Lenders, as applicable, (or all Lenders if so required by Paragraph 11.1) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

     12.5 Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Agent will notify Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. Upon the written request of any Lender, Agent shall send notice of such Default or Event of Default under this Agreement to the Borrowers within ten (10) Business Days, with a copy provided to each of the Lenders, unless such Default is cured within the applicable cure period or such Event of Default is waived. Otherwise, Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by Majority Lenders in accordance with Paragraph 10.2; provided, however, that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable. Agent and each of the Lenders agree to use reasonable good faith efforts to disclose to each other, as soon as practicable after discovery by a senior officer with direct responsibility for the management of the transactions with Borrowers, any information or communication (believed to be reliable and substantially accurate) which the disclosing Lender has reason to believe (a) is not known by Agent or the other Lenders (as applicable) and (b) may have a material and adverse effect upon the

business or operations of the Borrowers and/or upon the collateral security for the Loan, and as a result, may impair the repayment of the Loan as and when due; provided, however, that neither the Agent nor the other Lenders shall have any liability as a result of its or their failure to disclose any information pursuant to this paragraph, nor shall any Lender assert any such failure by Agent or another Lender as a defense to any claim asserted against a Lender under the provisions of this Agreement.

     12.6 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so), pro rata, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities as such term is defined in Paragraph 13.14; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers. The undertaking in this Paragraph 12.6 shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

     12.7 Agent in Individual Capacity. Bank of America and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with any Borrower and its subsidiaries and Affiliates as though Bank of America were not Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of Lenders. Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Borrower or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Borrower or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that Agent and Bank of America shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Bank of America in its individual capacity.

     12.8 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days notice to Lenders and Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Agent. In the event Bank of America sells all of its Commitment and Loans as part of a sale, transfer or other disposition by Bank of America of substantially all of its loan portfolio, Bank of America shall resign as Agent and such purchaser or transferee shall become the successor Agent hereunder. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, subject to the proviso in the preceding sentence, Majority Lenders shall appoint from among Lenders a successor agent for Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with Lenders and Borrowers, a successor agent from among Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent,

the provisions of this Section Twelve shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

     12.9 Withholding Tax. At least five Business Days prior to the first date for payment of interest or fees hereunder to a Foreign Lender, the Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any subsequent replacement or substitute form therefor), certifying that such Lender can receive payment of Obligations without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent two additional copies of such form before the preceding form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the form, as well as any amendments, extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent, in each case, certifying that the Foreign Lender can receive payment of Obligations without deduction or withholding of any such taxes, unless an event (including any change in treaty or law) has occurred that renders such forms inapplicable or prevents the Foreign Lender from certifying that it can receive payments without deduction or withholding of such taxes. During any period that a Foreign Lender does not or is unable to establish that it can receive payments without deduction or withholding of such taxes, other than by reason of an event (including any change in treaty or law) that occurs after it becomes a Lender, Agent may withhold taxes from payments to such Foreign Lender at the applicable statutory and treaty rates, and Borrowers shall not be required to pay any additional amounts under this Paragraph 12.9 or Paragraph 2.11 as a result of such withholding.

     12.10 Collateral Matters.

          (a) Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Agent’s Lien upon any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrowers of all Loans and reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit and related credit support, and the termination or cash collateralization of all outstanding Letters of Credit (whether or not any of such obligations are due) and all other Obligations (other than in indemnification and other contingent obligations for which no amount is due and owing and with respect to which no claim has been made), all in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 3.2; (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if Borrowers certify to Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with this Agreement (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); (iii) constituting property in which Borrowers owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (iv) constituting property leased to Borrowers under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement. Except as provided above or in Section 13.21, Agent will not release any of the Agent’s Liens without the prior written authorization of Lenders. Upon request by Agent or Borrowers at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release any Agent’s Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Paragraph 12.10.

          (b) Upon receipt by Agent of any authorization required pursuant to subparagraph 12.10(a) from Lenders of Agent’s authority to release any Agent’s Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral, and upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written request by Borrowers, Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Agent’s Liens upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or

entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of Borrowers in respect of) all interests retained by Borrowers, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

          (c) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrowers or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing.

     12.11 Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments.

          (a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of all Lenders, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of all Lenders, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to Borrowers or any accounts of Borrowers now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by Agent, take or cause to be taken any action to enforce its rights under this Agreement or against Borrowers, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.

          (b) If at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations of Borrowers to such Lender arising under, or relating to, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from Agent in excess of such Lender’s ratable portion of all such distributions by Agent, such Lender shall promptly (1) turn the same over to Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to Agent, or in same day funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (2) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

     12.12 Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting the Lenders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with

Article 9 of the Code, can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions.

     12.13 Payments by Agent to Lenders. All payments to be made by Agent to Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer or internal transfer of immediately available funds to each Lender pursuant to wire transfer instructions delivered in writing to Agent on or prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement (or if such Lender is an Assignee, on the applicable Assignment and Acceptance), or pursuant to such other wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium or interest on the Revolving Loans or otherwise.

     12.14 Concerning the Collateral and the Related Loan Documents. Each Lender authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for the ratable benefit and obligation of Agent and Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Agent, Majority Lenders or Required Lenders, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by Agent, Majority Lenders, or Required Lenders, as applicable, of their respective powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

     12.15 Field Audit and Examination Reports; Disclaimer by Lenders. By signing this Agreement, each Lender:

          (a) is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report (each a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”) prepared by Agent;

          (b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that neither Bank of America nor Agent (i) makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, or (ii) shall be liable for any information contained in any Report;

          (c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that Agent or Bank of America or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Borrowers and will rely significantly upon Borrowers’ books and records, as well as on representations of Borrowers’ personnel;

          (d) agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, and not to distribute except to its participants, or use any Report in any other manner; and

          (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action 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 Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or

loans of Borrower; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses and other amounts (including Attorney Costs) incurred by Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

     12.16 Relation Among Lenders. The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender.

SECTION THIRTEEN — GENERAL

     13.1 Expenses. Promptly following any Borrower’s receipt of any monthly or other statement from Agent, Borrowers shall pay all of the following expenses (“Agent’s Expenses”):

          (a) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all reasonable expenses incurred by Agent in the administration of this Agreement and the Loan, including but not limited to mailing costs and accounting fees, and any reasonable costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, or amendment (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of, rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein;

          (b) all taxes levied against or paid by Agent or any Lender (other than Excluded Taxes) and all filing and recording fees, costs and expenses which may be incurred by Agent in respect to the filing and/or recording of any document or instrument relating to the transactions described in this Agreement; and

          (c) all costs, outlays, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of any kind (including all allocated staff costs) incurred by Agent or any Lender in the enforcement of this Agreement or the defense of legal proceedings involving any claim made against Agent or any Lender arising out of this Agreement or the protection of the Collateral.

     13.16 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default exists or the Obligations have been accelerated, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to Borrowers, any such notice being waived by Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrowers against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrowers and Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OF SET-OFF, BANKER’S LIEN, OR THE LIKE AGAINST ANY DEPOSIT ACCOUNT OR PROPERTY OF BORROWER HELD OR MAINTAINED BY SUCH LENDER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN UNANIMOUS CONSENT OF THE LENDERS.

     13.17 Joint and Several Liability.

          (a) Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally, directly and primarily liable to Agent and Lenders for payment in full of the Obligations and that such liability is independent of the duties, obligations, and liabilities of the other Borrowers. Agent or any Lender may bring a separate action or actions on each, any, or all of the Obligations against any Borrower, whether action is brought against the other Borrower(s).

          (b) Each Borrower agrees that any release which may be given by Agent or any Lender to the other Borrowers or any guarantor or endorser of any of the Obligations shall not release such other Borrowers from their obligations hereunder.

          (c) Each Borrower hereby waives any right to assert against Agent or any Lender any defense (legal or equitable), setoff, counterclaim, or claims which any Borrower individually may now or any time hereafter have against the other Borrowers or any other party liable to Agent or any Lender in any manner or way whatsoever.

          (d) Any and all present and future indebtedness of a Borrower to the other Borrowers is hereby subordinated to the full payment and performance of the Obligations.

          (e) Each Borrower is presently informed as to the financial condition of the other Borrowers and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby covenants that it will keep itself informed as to the financial condition of the other Borrowers, the status of the other Borrowers and of all circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment. Absent a written request from any Borrower to Agent or any Lender for information, each Borrower hereby waives any and all rights it may have to require Agent or any Lender to disclose to such Borrower any information which Agent or any Lender may now or hereafter acquire concerning the condition or circumstances of the other Borrower.

          (f) Each Borrower waives all rights to notices of default, existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional indebtedness, and all other notices of formalities to which such Borrower may, as joint and several Borrower hereunder, be entitled.

          (g) At the request of Borrowers to facilitate and expedite the administration and accounting processes and procedures of their borrowings hereunder, Agent and Lenders have agreed, in lieu of maintaining separate loan accounts, that Agent shall maintain a single loan account under the name of Borrowers (“Loan Account”). The Loan shall be made jointly and severally to the Borrowers and shall be charged to their Loan Account, together with all interest and other charges as permitted under and pursuant to this Agreement. The Loan shall be credited with all repayments of Obligations received by Agent, on behalf of Lenders, from any Borrower as paid into the Collection Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

          (h) Requests for borrowings may be made by any Borrower, pursuant to the terms of Section Two hereof. Each Borrower expressly agrees and acknowledges that neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any responsibility to inquire into the correctness of the apportionment or allocation of or any disposition by any of the Borrowers of (i) any Obligations, or (ii) any of the expenses and other items charged to the Loan Account pursuant to this Agreement. All Obligations and such expenses and other items shall be made for the collective, joint, and several account of the Borrowers and shall be charged to their Loan Account.

          (i) Each Borrower agrees and acknowledges that the administration of the Obligations on a combined basis as set forth in this Paragraph 13.17 is being done as an accommodation to Borrowers and at their request, and that neither Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to any of the Borrowers as a result thereof. TO INDUCE AGENT AND LENDERS TO DO SO, AND IN CONSIDERATION THEREOF, EACH OF THE BORROWERS HEREBY AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD AGENT AND EACH LENDER HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, EXPENSES, LOSS, DAMAGE, CLAIM OF DAMAGE, OR INJURY, MADE AGAINST AGENT OR ANY LENDER BY ANY OF BORROWERS OR BY ANY OTHER PERSON, ARISING FROM OR INCURRED BY REASON OF SUCH ADMINISTRATION OF THE OBLIGATIONS, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH LIABILITIES, EXPENSES, LOSSES, DAMAGES, CLAIMS AND INJURIES (I) RESULT SOLELY FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR (II) ARE AWARDED AS DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES (AND NOT ANY DAMAGES CONSTITUTING SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE) TO ANY BORROWER OR GUARANTOR IN AN ACTION BROUGHT BY SUCH BORROWER OR GUARANTOR AGAINST AN INDEMNIFIED PERSON FOR BREACH OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON’S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR

UNDER ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IF SUCH BORROWER OR GUARANTOR HAS OBTAINED A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT IN ITS FAVOR ON SUCH CLAIM AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.

          (j) Each Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and each Lender that the collective administration of the Obligations is being undertaken by Agent and each Lender pursuant to this Paragraph 13.17, because Borrowers are integrated in their operation and administration and require financing on a basis permitting the availability of credit from time to time to each of the Borrowers. Each Borrower will derive benefit, directly and indirectly, from such collective administration and credit availability because the successful operation of each Borrower is enhanced by the continued successful performance of the integrated group.

          (k) Each Borrower hereby postpones and subordinates to the final payment in full of the Obligations any right of subrogation it has or may have against the other Borrowers with respect to the Obligations or any other indebtedness incurred pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, each Borrower hereby postpones any right to proceed against the other Borrowers, now or hereafter, for contribution, indemnity, reimbursement, and any other rights and claims, whether direct or indirect, liquidated or contingent, such Borrower may now have or hereafter have as against any other Borrower with respect to the Obligations or any other indebtedness incurred pursuant to this Agreement, until all Obligations have been finally paid in full. Each Borrower agrees that in light of the immediately foregoing agreements, the execution of this Agreement shall not be deemed to make such Borrower a “creditor” of any other Borrower, and that for purposes of §§547 and 550 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §§547, 550), such Borrower shall not be deemed a “creditor” of the other Borrower.

     13.18 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

     13.19 Headings. The headings, captions and arrangements used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

     13.20 No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any present or future supplement thereto, or in any other agreement between or among Borrower and Agent and/or any Lender, or delay by Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by Agent or the Lenders on any occasion shall affect or diminish Agent’s and each Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement. Agent and the Lenders may proceed directly to collect the Obligations without any prior recourse to the Collateral. Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under this Agreement will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which Agent or any Lender may have.

     13.21 Other Security and Guarantees. Agent, may, without notice or demand and without affecting any Borrower’s obligations hereunder, from time to time: (a) take from any Person and hold collateral (other than the Collateral) for the payment of all or any part of the

Obligations and exchange, enforce or release such collateral or any part thereof; and (b) accept and hold any endorsement or guaranty of payment of all or any part of the Obligations and release or substitute any such endorser or guarantor, or any Person who has given any Lien in any other collateral as security for the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, or any other Person in any way obligated to pay all or any part of the Obligations. The Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Guarantor from its obligations under a guaranty and/or release any security interest in the Collateral owned by such Guarantor if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. Upon request by Agent at any time, the Majority Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Paragraph 13.21.

     13.22 NO ORAL AGREEMENTS. THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AS WRITTEN, REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG AGENT, LENDERS AND BORROWERS AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG AGENT, LENDERS AND BORROWERS.

     13.23 Patriot Act Notice. Lender hereby notifies Borrowers and Guarantors that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, Lender is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower and Guarantor, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other information that will allow Lender to identify it in accordance with the Patriot Act. Lender may also require information regarding Borrowers’ management and owners, such as legal name, address, social security number and date of birth in accordance with the Patriot Act.

     13.24 Replacement of Lenders. If (a) only one Lender requests compensation under Paragraph 2.13, (b) if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to only one Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of one Lender pursuant to Paragraph 2.11, (c) if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (d) if any Lender is acquired by or merges with any other Person and such Lender is not the surviving Person, or (e) if only one Lender fails to approve an amendment, consent or waiver hereunder which is approved by the Majority Lenders, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Paragraph 11.2), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

          (i) Borrowers or the assignee shall have paid Agent the assignment fee specified in subparagraph 11.2(a).

          (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Paragraph 2.14 from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

          (iii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws; and

          (iv) such assignment is completed within ninety (90) days of any request in (a) above, payment in (b) above, default in (c) above, merger in (d) above, or any failure to approve in (e) above.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. The right to replace a Lender hereunder in subparagraphs (a), (b) and (e) does not apply if more than one Lender is affected in each scenario.

          WHEREAS, the Guarantor is a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Regional;

          WHEREAS, the execution and delivery by the Guarantor of this Guaranty is required pursuant to Paragraph 8.8 of the Loan Agreement; and

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other benefits accruing to the Guarantor, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and hereby covenants and agrees with the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, as follows:

          Section 1. GUARANTY

          1.1 Guaranteed Obligations. (a) The Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Agent and Lenders, and their successors and assigns, the payment when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of all Obligations of the Borrowers (the “Guaranteed Obligations”) including, without limitation, (i) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all Loans made under the Loan Agreement, (ii) all interest accrued thereon and all

fees payable under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all interest accrued from the commencement of a case under the Federal Bankruptcy Code by or against the Borrowers or other bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceeding for the Borrowers regardless of whether such interest or fees are an allowed claim in any such case or proceeding) and (iii) all other amounts now or hereafter payable by the Borrowers under the Loan Agreement, any promissory notes issued thereunder (the “Notes”) or any other Loan Document to which the Borrowers is a party, when and as the same shall become due, whether at the stated date or dates for payment, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Notes or any other applicable Loan Document, without regard to any defense, setoff or counterclaim that may at any time be asserted by or available to the Borrowers and notwithstanding any discharge of the Borrowers from the Guaranteed Obligations.

To that end, but only to the extent such obligations would otherwise be avoidable, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Documents, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which after giving effect thereto and to all other liabilities of the Guarantor (absolute or contingent) would not render the Guarantor insolvent or unable to pay its debts and liabilities as they mature or leave the Guarantor with an unreasonably small capital. For purposes of the foregoing, “insolvent” or “unreasonably small capital” and the effective time of reductions required by this paragraph 1.1(c) shall be determined in accordance with applicable law.

          1.6 No Subrogation.

          1.7 Stay of Acceleration. If demand for, or acceleration of the time for, payment by the Borrowers of any Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrowers, all such indebtedness otherwise subject to demand for payment or acceleration under the terms of the Loan Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantor hereunder forthwith on demand by the Agent.

As of the date hereof, the Guarantor is not a party to any agreement, and is not subject to any [corporate] [limited liability company] [limited partnership] restriction, which adversely affects its ability to execute, deliver, and perform this Guaranty or the Loan Documents to which it is a party and repay the Guaranteed Obligations guarantied by it or which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          Section 3. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.

          3.1 Enforcement. The Agent shall have the right, power and authority to do all things it deems necessary or advisable to enforce the provisions of this Guaranty in the event of a default in payment of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due after expiration of any grace period expressly granted in the Loan Documents. The Agent may institute or appear in such judicial proceedings as the Agent shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any of the Agent’s rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or

agreement in this Guaranty or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

          3.2 Cumulative Remedies. No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Agent or any Lender herein is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under the Guaranty, any other Loan Document or any other document or instrument or provided by law.

          3.3 Separate Causes of Action; Exhaustion of Remedies. Each and every default in payment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder, and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises. In the event of such a default, the Agent shall have the right to enforce this Guaranty, first and directly against the Guarantor without proceeding against the Borrowers or against any other guarantor under any other guaranty covering the Guaranteed Obligations, against any other Person or against any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or exhausting any other remedies which it may have and without resorting to any security held by it. All payments by the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be made on the same basis as payments by the Borrowers under Paragraph 2.10 of the Loan Agreement or as otherwise specified by the Agent by a notice in writing to the Guarantor.

          3.4 Costs, Expenses and Fees. The Guarantor hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs, expenses and fees, and all reasonable attorneys’ fees, which may be incurred by the Agent in preparing this Guaranty or any amendments, waivers or consents with respect hereto or incurred by the Agent and Lenders in enforcing or attempting to enforce this Guaranty or in protecting the rights of the Agent and Lenders under this Guaranty following any default on the part of the Guarantor hereunder, whether the same shall be enforced by suit or otherwise. The covenants and agreements contained in this Section 3.4 shall survive the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

          Section 4. MISCELLANEOUS.

          4.1 Notices. (a) Any notice, request, direction, demand or communication hereunder shall be given to or made upon the Guarantor or the Agent in writing (including facsimile transmission) and mailed or delivered in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section to each such party at the address set forth in subsection (c) of this Section, or to such other address as may be designated by any such party by a written notice delivered to the other such parties in accordance with this Section 4.1.

          (b) All notices given under this Section 4.1 shall be effective only (i) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the applicable facsimile number, if confirmation of receipt is received (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, such notice shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient); (ii) if given by certified or registered U.S. mail, upon receipt, with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; or (iii) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered to the notice address with receipt acknowledged. Any written notice, request or other communication that is not sent in conformity with this Section 4.1 shall

nevertheless be effective on the date actually received by the noticed party. Any notice received by Regional shall be deemed received by all Borrowers.

          (c) Notices to the Agent shall be addressed to it at Bank of America, N.A., 335 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10017. Notices to the Guarantor shall be addressed to it at ____________________, __________, ______________ _____.

          4.2 Waivers and Amendments. No failure on the part of the Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any default hereunder or any Event of Default, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Agent or any Lender of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy of the Agent or any Lender. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty nor consent to any departure herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Agent or any Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Borrowers or the Guarantor in any case shall, of itself, entitle the Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. If notice, whether before or after an Event of Default has occurred, is required by law to be given by the Agent or any Lender to the Guarantor, the Guarantor agrees that ten (10) days’ notice given in the manner provided in Section 4.1 hereof shall be reasonable notice.

          4.3 Successors and Assigns. (a) This Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors, transfers, administrators, legal representatives and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Agent and Lenders and their successors, transfers and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights and obligations under the Loan Agreement to any other Person or entity and such Person or entity shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender, herein or otherwise, all as provided in, and to the extent set forth in, the Loan Agreement.

          (b) In connection with any assignment permitted by the Loan Agreement, the Agent may assign all or any portion of its rights and powers under this Guaranty to the extent permitted in the Loan Agreement and, in the event of such assignment, the assignee of such rights and powers, to the extent of such assignment, shall have the same rights and remedies as the Agent. The Guarantor may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent.

          4.4 Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantor or to any other Person (any such notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Agent and each Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor against and on account of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Agent and each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Guarantor after any such set-off and application made by the Agent or such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set- off and application.

          4.5 Transactions Permitted under the Loan Documents. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any manner prohibit or restrict the Guarantor from consummating any transaction, entering into any agreement or otherwise taking any other action expressly permitted under the Loan Agreement.

          4.6 Termination. Subject to Section 1.5 hereof, this Guaranty and the obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate on the date the Loan Agreement is terminated and the Obligations have been fully repaid, unless otherwise expressly provided for herein.

          4.7 Credit Agreement Prevails. To the extent there are express provisions of the Loan Agreement which conflict with the provisions hereof, the provisions contained in the Loan Agreement shall prevail.

          4.8 SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, AGENT AND LENDERS, PERTAINING TO THIS GUARANTY. EACH GUARANTOR EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS.

          4. 9 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE GUARANTOR AND THE AGENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW) TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO OR CONNECTED WITH THIS GUARANTY, THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS OR ANY DOCUMENTS OR INSTRUMENTS DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO OR THERETO OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THE GUARANTOR AND THE AGENT CONFIRM THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVERS ARE INFORMED AND FREELY GIVEN.

          4.10 GOVERNING LAW. PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES.

          4.11 Acknowledgments by Guarantor. The Guarantor acknowledges and confirms to the Agent that the Guarantor has not been induced to execute and deliver this Guaranty as a result of, and is not relying upon, any representations, warranties, agreements or conditions, whether express or implied or written or oral, by the Agent or any Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Guaranty, insofar as the Guarantor is concerned:

          (a) the Agent and Lenders are not obligated to give or continue any financial accommodations to the Borrowers (except to the extent required to do so under the Loan Agreement) or any other Person, including (without limitation) pursuant to this Guaranty, or to change or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, any liability of the Borrowers or of any other Person, any security therefor or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof;

          (c) the Agent and Lenders are not obligated to notify the Guarantor or any other Person of any change in the business, assets, liabilities, type or value of any security therefor, financial condition, management or control of the Borrowers or any other Person, and none of such changes shall release or otherwise impair any of the rights of the Agent and Lenders against the Guarantor; and

          (d) no failure by the Agent and Lenders to obtain, perfect, protect, insure or realize upon any security for any of the liabilities of the Borrowers or of any other Person or no other act or failure to act by the Agent and Lenders shall release or otherwise impair any of the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder.

          4.12 Severability. If any part of this Guaranty is contrary to, prohibited by or deemed invalid under any applicable law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, without invalidating the remainder hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
