AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT

This Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (this “Agreement”), made October 23, 2008, by and among SL INDUSTRIES, INC., a New Jersey corporation (“Parent Borrower”), the Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower listed on the signature pages to this Agreement (together with such other Subsidiaries which join this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.27 hereof, each a “Subsidiary Borrower” and collectively, the “Subsidiary Borrowers” and together with the Parent Borrower, each a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”), BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association (the “Bank”), individually, as Agent, Issuer and a Lender, and the other financial institutions listed on the signature pages to this Agreement. The Bank and the financial institutions listed on the signature pages to this Agreement, and any other financial institutions which may become parties to this Agreement from time to time, are sometimes collectively, referred to as the “Lenders” and individually as a “Lender”. The Bank, when acting in its capacity as administrative agent or collateral agent for the Lenders, the Issuer and the other Secured Parties, or any successor or assign that assumes such position pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Agent”.

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the Borrowers desire that the Lenders amend and restate the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated August 3, 2005, among the Agent, the Borrowers and Lenders, as amended through the date hereof (the “Existing Agreement”), to provide for an increase in the facility size and certain other changes; and

WHEREAS, the Borrowers desire to borrow, and the Lenders are willing to extend credit from time to time on a revolving credit basis until the Revolving Credit Termination Date (as defined below), an aggregate principal amount not to exceed Sixty Million Dollars ($60,000,000) outstanding at any time. The loans and credit are to be secured by the assets of the Parent Borrower and the assets and stock of the Subsidiary Borrowers. Certain terms used herein are defined in Article 11 below.

NOW THEREFORE, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, and Agent and the Lenders, severally but not jointly, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

THE REVOLVING, LOAN FACILITY

Section 1.1 Commitment to Lend. The Lenders severally agree, upon the terms and conditions set forth below, from time to time until the Revolving Credit Termination Date, to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrowers in such amounts as the Borrowers may request, subject to the limitation that: (a) at no time shall Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the amount of the Commitment; and (b) the amount and Percentage of the Commitment which each Lender is obligated to lend shall not exceed at any time the amount or Percentages set forth opposite the name of such Lender on Schedule A hereto (as supplemented and amended by giving effect to any assignment made in accordance with this Agreement). Revolving Credit Loans may be requested in any Approved Currency, however, the amount of any Loan shall be the Dollar Equivalent of ($500,000) or an integral multiple of ($100,000) in excess thereof. Within such limitations and subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow, from time to time, on a revolving basis. The Lenders shall have no obligation to make any Revolving Credit Loans at any time that a Default exists.

Section 1.2 Manner of Borrowing.

(a) To request a Revolving Credit Loan, the Borrowers shall, prior to, 12:00 noon at least (i) one (1) Business Day prior to the desired date of a Base Rate Loan, (ii) three (3) Business Days prior to the desired date for a LIBOR Loan to be made in Dollars, or (iii) four (4) Business Days prior to the desired date for a LIBOR Loan to be made in an Alternative Currency, (a) deliver to the Agent a Request for Advance or (b) give the Agent telephonic notice of the information specified in any Request for Advance followed immediately by delivery of such a Request for Advance, provided, however, that the Borrowers failure to confirm any telephonic notice with a Request for Advance shall not invalidate any notice so given if acted upon by the Agent. Any notice given to the Agent pursuant to this Section shall be given prior to 11:00 a.m. on the requisite Business Day and shall be irrevocable once given.

(b) The Agent in turn shall give prompt written or telephonic (promptly confirmed in writing) notice to each Lender of its pro rata share of the borrowing, the interest rate option selected and the scheduled date of the funding. After receipt of such notice, each Lender shall make such arrangements as are necessary to assure that its share of the funding shall be immediately available (in the requested Approved Currency) to the Agent no later than 1:30 p.m., on the date on which the funding is to occur.

Section 1.3 Disbursements. Prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of a Revolving Credit Loan, the Agent shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article 7 below, disburse the funds to the Borrowers (a) by wire transfer pursuant to the Borrowers instructions, or (b) in the absence of such instructions, by crediting the account of the Parent Borrower maintained with the Agent.

Section 1.4 Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit Fees.

(a) Letter of Credit. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 1.4, prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, to issue standby or, documentary Letters of Credit, in any Approved Currency, so long as:

(i) Issuer shall have received a Notice of LC Credit Event at least two (2) Business Days before the relevant date of issuance;

(ii) After giving effect to such issuance (A) the aggregate Letter of Credit Liabilities under all Letters of Credit do not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit and (B) the Revolving Credit Outstandings, do not exceed the amount of the Commitment;

(iii) no order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, no Law applicable to the Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date hereof, or shall impose upon the Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the date hereof and which the Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

(iv) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would not violate one or more policies of the Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally except as otherwise agreed by the Agent and the Issuer;

(v) such Letter of Credit is not in an initial stated amount less than $100,000;

(vi) such Letter of Credit does not contain any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; and

(vii) no default of any Lender’s obligations to fund any amounts under this Agreement exists nor is any Lender at such time a defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate the Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender.

(b) Letter of Credit Fee. Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, a letter of credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) with respect to the Letter of Credit Liabilities for each Letter of Credit, computed for each day from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the date that is the last day a drawing is available under such Letter of Credit, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then applicable to LIBOR Loans. Such fee shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each fiscal quarter prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date and on such date. In addition, the Issuer shall receive a fronting fee equal to 0.125% of the face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit (“Fronting Fee”), payable upon issuance. The Borrowers shall also pay to the Issuer all of the Issuer’s standard fees and charges for the opening, amendment, modification, presentation or cancellation of a Letter of Credit, and otherwise in respect of a Letter of Credit, and shall execute all of the Issuer’s standard agreements in connection with the issuance of the Letter of Credit.

(c) Reimbursement Obligations of Borrowers. If Issuer shall make a payment pursuant to a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall promptly reimburse Issuer, following notice from Issuer to Borrowers of the amount of such payment, for the amount of such payment and, to the extent that so doing would not cause the Revolving Credit Outstandings to exceed the amount of the Commitment, and there is no outstanding Default, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Loan, the proceeds of which will be used to satisfy such Reimbursement Obligations. To the extent that such Reimbursement Obligations are not so satisfied, the Borrowers shall pay interest, on demand, on all amounts so paid by Issuer for each day until Borrowers reimburse Issuer therefor at a rate per annum equal to the sum of two percent (2%) plus the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day. The obligations of the Borrowers to the Issuer, the Agent and the Lenders in respect of Letters of Credit shall be guaranteed pursuant to the Loan Documents and shall be secured by the Collateral.

(d) Objections Absolute. The obligations of Borrowers under this Section 1.4 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of, or any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from, any Letter of Credit or any related document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Borrowers may have at any time against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, the Issuer, the Agent, or any Lender (including any claim for improper payment), or any other Person, whether in connection with any Loan Document or any unrelated transaction, provided, that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

(iii) any statement or any other document presented under any 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 whatsoever; or

(iv) to the extent permitted under applicable law, any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(e) Deposit Obligations of Borrowers. In the event any Letters of Credit are outstanding at the time that Borrowers prepay, or are required to repay, the Obligations or the Commitment is terminated, Borrowers shall (i) Cash Collateralize all Letter of Credit Liabilities, in an amount equal to one hundred and two percent (102%) of the aggregate outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities, to be available to Issuer to reimburse payments of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit and pay any fees and expenses related thereto, and (ii) prepay the fee payable under Section 1.4(b) with respect to such Letters of Credit for the full remaining terms of such Letters of Credit. Upon termination of any such Letter of Credit, the unearned portion of such prepaid fee attributable to such Letter of Credit shall be refunded to Borrowers, together with the deposit described in the preceding clause (i) to the extent not previously applied by Issuer in the manner described herein.

(f) Participation by Lenders.

(i) Effective immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit and without further action on the part of the Issuer, the Issuer shall be deemed to have granted to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably purchased and received from the Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit to the extent of each Lender’s Percentage of the Commitment. Further, each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it shall be absolutely liable, to the extent of its Percentage of the Commitment, to fund on demand or reimburse the Issuer on demand for the amount of each draft paid by the Issuer under each Letter of Credit to the extent that such amount is not immediately reimbursed by the Borrowers.

(ii) In furtherance of the provisions of the preceding paragraph (a) the Issuer shall notify the Agent promptly upon receipt of notice of an intended draw under a Letter of Credit. The Agent shall give written, telecopied or telegraphic notice to each of the other Lenders of its pro rata share of such draw and the scheduled date thereof. After receipt of such notice, and whether or not an Event of Default or Default then exists, each Lender shall make available to the Agent such Lender’s share of such draw in immediately available funds (in Dollars) to the Agent no later than noon, on the date specified in the Agent’s notice. The failure of the Issuer or the Agent to give timely notice pursuant to this Subsection 1.4(f) shall not affect the right of the Issuer to reimbursement from the Lenders. Any amount paid by Agent and Lenders pursuant to a draw made under a Letter of Credit shall constitute a Revolving Credit Loan and shall be repaid pursuant to the provisions respecting Revolving Credit Loans, provided that if an Event of Default or Default exists at the time of a draw, the Borrowers shall immediately reimburse the amount of such draw to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders.

(g) Standard of Conduct. The Issuer shall be entitled to administer each Letter of Credit in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with its usual practices, modified from time to time as it deems appropriate under the circumstances, and shall be entitled to use its discretion in taking or refraining from taking any action in connection herewith as if it were the sole party involved. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit shall not create for the Issuer any resulting liability to any other Lender. The Issuer shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Letter of Credit, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and believed by it to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Issuer and the Agent.

Section 1.5 Swing Line Loans.

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 1.5, to make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Facility at such time, and (ii) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender at such time, plus such Lender’s Percentage of the outstanding amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities at such time, plus such Lender’s Percentage of the outstanding amount of all Swing Line Loans at such time shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and provided further that the Borrowers shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 1.5, prepay under Section 2.2, and reborrow under this Section 1.5. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan which shall mature on the earlier of (A) the fifteenth day after such Loan was made and (B) the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon a Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by an officer of a Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 1.5(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article 5 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the requesting Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the requesting Borrower on the books of the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds.

(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the requesting Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Request for Advance for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.2, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Facility and the conditions set forth in Section 5.3. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the requesting Borrower with a copy of the applicable Request for Advance promptly after delivering such notice to the Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Percentage of the amount specified in such Request for Advance available to the Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Request for Advance, whereupon, subject to Section 1.5(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the requesting Borrower in such amount. The Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with Section 1.5(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 1.5(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.5(c) by the time specified in Section 1.5(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Revolving Credit Loan or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 1.5(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 1.5(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.3. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Percentage thereof on demand of the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing a Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 1.5 to refinance such Lender’s Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

Section 1.6 Increase in Revolving Credit Facility.

(a) Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default, upon notice to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrowers may from time to time, request an increase in the Revolving Credit Facility by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $50,000,000; provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of (i) $5,000,000, or an integral multiple thereof, and (ii) the Parent Borrower may make a maximum of three such requests. At the time of sending such notice, the Parent Borrower (in consultation with the Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).

(b) Lenders Election to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Percentage of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.

(c) Notification by Agent; Additional Lenders. The Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, and subject to the approval of the Agent, the Issuer and the Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Parent Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Borrower and the Agent and its counsel.

(d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Revolving Credit Facility is increased in accordance with this Section, the Agent and the Parent Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Agent shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date.

(e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Parent Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a responsible officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article 6 and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 1.6, the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.13 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 8.1, and (B) no Default exists. The Borrowers shall prepay any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.4) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.

ARTICLE 2

PAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS

Section 2.1 Reductions In Commitment. The Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, upon one (1) Business Day’s prior irrevocable written notice to the Agent, reduce (on a pro rata basis among the Lenders) or terminate the Commitment without premium or penalty, provided, however, that each partial reduction shall be in an amount equal to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or an integral multiple of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess thereof and provided further, that the Commitment shall not be reduced or terminated at any time that would require the prepayment of a LIBOR Loan on a day, other than the last day of the relevant Interest Period, unless the reduction notice is accompanied by the breakage payments referred to, in Section 4.4 below. Once so reduced, the Commitment shall not be increased and once so terminated, the Commitment shall not be reinstated.

(a) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, the Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, without penalty, prepay any or all Base Rate Loans.

(b) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, the Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, prepay any or all LIBOR Loans upon giving three (3) Business Days irrevocable notice to the Agent, but if any such payment shall be made on a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, such payment shall be accompanied by the breakage payments referred to in Section 4.4 below.

(c) The foregoing prepayment rights are subject to the following: (i) any prepayment of less than all the outstanding Loans shall be in an amount equal to Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) or an integral multiple of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) in excess thereof; (ii) no prepayment may be made in an amount that would cause the amount of any outstanding LIBOR Loan to be less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000); and (iii) any prepayment in full of all outstanding Loans shall be accompanied by the payment of all Obligations accrued or payable as of the date of such prepayment.

Section 2.3 Repayment of Loans In Connection with Reductions of Commitment. On or before the effective date of any reduction in the Commitment (whether scheduled, mandatory, voluntary or otherwise), the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize all Letter of Credit Liabilities, so as to reduce the Revolving Credit Outstandings to the Commitment, giving effect to the amount of the Commitment as so reduced, provided, however, any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan on a day that is not the last day of the, relevant Interest Period shall be accompanied by the amounts provided for in Section 4.4 below.

ARTICLE 3

INTEREST AND FEES

Section 3.1 Interest. Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.2 and 4.4 below and to the conditions set forth in this Section, the Loans shall bear interest at the Borrowers option, as follows:

(a) Base Rate Loans. The interest rate on each Base Rate Loan shall equal the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans, as in effect from time to time. Changes in the rate of interest resulting from changes in the Base Rate shall take place immediately without notice or demand of any kind. Interest on Base Rate Loans is payable in arrears on the first day of each month and on the maturity of such Loans, whether by acceleration or otherwise.

(b) LIBOR Loans. During any period that a Loan is a LIBOR Loan, Borrowers shall pay interest on such Loan at a rate equal to the LIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans, as in effect from time to time. Interest on LIBOR Loans shall be payable in arrears on the last day of the applicable Interest Period relating to such Loan, provided that if the Interest Period is longer than 30 days, interest shall be payable 30 days after the relevant Loan is made and on each 30 day anniversary thereof, if applicable, and on the last day of the Interest Period. All payments are due on or prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

Section 3.2 Election of Interest Rate. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 below, the Borrowers may elect the interest rate applicable to each Revolving Credit Loan as follows:

(a) Rate in Absence of Election. Unless otherwise elected by the Borrowers, each Revolving Credit Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Election of LIBOR Loans. The Borrowers may elect to request an advance hereunder as a LIBOR Loan by so specifying the amount and the desired Interest Period on the Request for Advance delivered pursuant to Section 1.2 above.

(c) Conversion to Different Type of Loan. All or any part of the principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans of any Type may, on any Business Day, be converted into any other Type or Types of Revolving Credit Loans, except that (i) a LIBOR Loan may be converted only on the last day of the applicable Interest Period therefor and (ii) a Base Rate Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Loan only on a Business Day for LIBOR Loans.

(d) Notice of Election to Convert. The Borrowers shall give the Agent notice (which shall be irrevocable) of each conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan and each conversion of a LIBOR Loan at the end of the relevant Interest Period into another LIBOR Loan, no later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of such conversion. Each notice of conversion shall be (i) in writing in substantially the form of Exhibit C attached hereto or (ii) by telephone specifying the information set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto, followed immediately by delivery of such notice, provided, however, that the Borrowers failure to confirm any telephonic notice in writing shall not invalidate any telephonic notice if acted upon by the Agent.

(e) Presumption In Absence of Election to Convert. Base Rate Loans shall continue as Base Rate Loans unless and until such Revolving Credit Loans are converted into Revolving Credit Loans of another Type pursuant to the preceding paragraph (d). LIBOR Loans of any Type shall continue as Revolving Credit Loans of such Type until the end of the then current Interest Period therefor, at which time they shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans unless the Borrowers shall have given the Agent notice in accordance with the preceding paragraph (d).

(f) Limitations on Election of LIBOR Loans. The Borrowers may not elect to borrow, continue or convert a Revolving Credit Loan to a LIBOR Loan if such election would (i) require the Agent to administer concurrently more than six (6) Types of Revolving Credit Loans, or (ii) require the Borrowers to make any scheduled or required payment of principal prior to the last day of the Interest Period or Interest Periods selected as a result of a reduction of the Available Commitment, a mandatory repayment or otherwise hereunder.

Section 3.3 Interest Upon Default. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (whether or not the Lenders have accelerated payment of the Notes), or after maturity or judgment has been rendered on the Notes, the Borrowers, right to select interest rate options shall cease and the unpaid principal of the Loans shall, at the option of the Agent, bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus two percent (2%) (the “Default Rate”). Such interest shall be payable on the earlier of (i) demand or (ii) the next Payment Date. Interest at the Default Rate shall continue to accrue (both before and after judgment) until the earlier of (i) the waiver or cure of the applicable Event of Default or (ii) the payment in full of the Obligations. Furthermore, at the election of Agent or Majority Lenders during any period in which any Event of Default is continuing (x) as the Interest Periods for LIBOR Loans then in effect expire, such Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans and (y) the LIBOR election shall not be available to Borrowers.

Section 3.4 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders a commitment fee, such fee to be payable in arrears on every third Payment Date (i.e. the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December) and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, and equal to the product of the Commitment Fee Margin times the average daily unused portion of the Commitment during the period commencing on the date following the preceding commitment fee payment date (or, if none, on the date hereof) and ending on such commitment fee payment date.

(b) Other Fees. The Borrowers shall pay the Agent, the Issuer and/or the Lenders such other fees as the Borrowers have otherwise agreed to pay in writing, whether in the Fee Letter or otherwise.

(c) Letter of Credit and Fronting Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Issuer and/or the Lenders, as applicable, such the Letter of Credit Fees and Fronting Fees as are described in Section 1.4.

Section 3.5 Computation of Interest and Related Fees. All interest and fees under each Loan Document shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed (or 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, as to interest on any Base Rate Loan). The date of funding of a Base Rate Loan and the first day of an Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Loan shall be included in the calculation of interest. The date of payment of a Base Rate Loan and the last day of an Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Loan shall be excluded from the calculation of interest. If a Loan is repaid on the same day that it is made, one (1) day’s interest shall be charged.

Section 3.6 Determination of Dollar Equivalent.

(a) No later than 1:00 P.M. on each Calculation Date with respect to any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit or Loan denominated in Alternative Currencies, the Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent as of such Calculation Date with respect to such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit and Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies. The Dollar Equivalent so determined shall become effective on the relevant Calculation Date (a “Reset Date”), shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date, except as otherwise provided, and shall for all purposes of this Agreement be the Dollar Equivalent employed in converting any amounts between Dollars and Alternative Currencies.

(b) The Agent shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower of each determination pursuant to this Section 3.6.

(c) In additional to the determination set forth above, and in no way expanding the Approved Currencies available to the Borrowers, any amount specified in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be in Dollars shall also, as may be required, include the equivalent of such amount in any currency other than Dollars, such equivalent amount thereof in the applicable currency to be determined by the Agent at such time on the basis of the Spot Rate (as defined below) for the purchase of such currency with Dollars. For purposes of this Section 3.6, the “Spot Rate” for a currency means the rate determined by the Agent to be the rate quoted by the Person acting in such capacity as the spot rate for the purchase by such Person of such currency with another currency through its principal foreign exchange trading office at approximately 11:00 a.m. on the date two Business Days prior to the date of such determination; provided that the Agent may obtain such spot rate from another financial institution designated by the Agent if the Person acting in such capacity does not have as of the date of determination a spot buying rate for any such currency.

GENERAL MATTERS CONCERNING LOANS SECTION

Section 4.1 Manner of Tendering Payments by Borrowers.

(a) Time of Payments. Each payment (including any prepayment) by the Borrowers on account of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, commitment fees and any other amount owed to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any Loan Document shall be made not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified for payment under such Loan Document in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds. Any payment received after 1:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(b) Location of Payments. All payments shall be made by the Borrowers to the Agent at such place as the Agent may from time to time specify in writing, except that all payments with respect to Letters of Credit shall be made by the Borrowers to such other place as the Agent and, respectively, the Issuer, may from time to time specify in writing. Any such payment shall be made in related Approved Currency in immediately available funds, without counterclaim or setoff and free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding for, any taxes or other payments.

(c) No Set-Off. The Borrowers agree to pay principal, interest, fees, expenses, indemnities, reimbursements and all other amounts due under any Loan Document, without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction whatsoever.

(d) Presumptions. Except as expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement, or by the Borrowers with respect to any payment, all payments shall be applied first to the payment of all fees, expenses and other amounts due to the Agent or the Lenders (excluding principal and interest), then to accrued interest, and the balance on account of outstanding principal of Base Rate Loans and then to principal of LIBOR Loans (and among such LIBOR Loans, first to those with the earliest expiring Interest Periods); provided, however, that after an Event of Default which is continuing, payments will be applied to the Obligations of Borrowers as Agent determines in its sole discretion.

Section 4.2 The Notes. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. Each Note shall be in the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Lender’s share of the Commitment in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (with appropriate completion of the name of the applicable Lender).

Section 4.3 Loan Account. The Agent may open and maintain on its books in the name of the Borrowers, a loan account with respect to the Loans and interest thereon. If the Agent opens such an account, it shall debit such loan account for the principal amount of each Loan made by it and accrued interest thereon, and, subject to Section 1.3 above; shall credit such loan account for each payment on account of principal or interest. The records of the Agent with respect to the loan account maintained by it shall be prima facie evidence of the Loans and accrued interest thereon, but the failure of the Agent to make any such notations or any error or mistake in such notations shall not affect the Borrowers’ repayment obligations with respect to such Loans.

Section 4.4 Additional Provisions Concerning Certain Loans.

(a) Mandatory Suspension and Conversion of LIBOR Loans. The Lenders obligation to make, continue or convert into LIBOR Loans of any Type shall be suspended and all Lenders outstanding Loans of such Type shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of their applicable Interest Periods (or, if earlier, in the case of clause (iii) below, on the last day the Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain Loans, of such Type or, in the case of clause (iv) below, on the day determined by the Agent to be the last Business Day before the effective date of the applicable restriction) into, and all pending requests for the making or continuation of or conversion into Loans of such Type by the Agent shall be deemed requests for Base Rate Loans, if:

(i) on or prior to the determination of an interest rate for a LIBOR Loan for any Interest Period, the Agent reasonably determines that for any reason appropriate information is not available to it for purposes of determining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period;

(ii) on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan of such Type any of the Lenders reasonably determines that the LIBOR Rate, as determined by such Lender, for such Interest Period would not accurately reflect the cost to such Lender of making, continuing or converting into a LIBOR Loan of such Type for such Interest Period;

(iii) at any time any of the Lenders determines that any Regulatory Change makes it unlawful or impracticable for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, continue or convert into a LIBOR Loan of such Type, or to comply with its obligations hereunder in respect thereof; or

(iv) any of the Lenders determines, that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, such Lender or its applicable lending office is restricted, directly or indirectly, in the amount that it may hold of (A) a category of liabilities that includes deposits by reference to which, or on the basis of which, the interest rate applicable to LIBOR Loans of such Type is directly or indirectly determined or (B) the category of assets that includes LIBOR Loans of such Type.

(b) Regulatory Changes. If, in the determination of any of the Lenders:

(i) any Regulatory Change shall directly or indirectly: (A) reduce the amount of any sum received or, receivable by such Lender with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility; (B) impose a cost on such Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender that is attributable to the making available or maintaining of, or such Lender’s commitment to make available, the Revolving Credit Facility; (C) require such Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender to make any payment on, or calculated by reference to, the gross amount of any amount received by such Lender under any Loan Document; or (D) reduce, or have the effect of reducing, the rate of return on any capital of such Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender that such Lender or such Affiliate is required to maintain on account of the Revolving Credit Facility, or such Lender’s Commitment; and

(ii) such reduction, increased cost or payment shall not be fully compensated for by an adjustment in the applicable rates of interest payable under the Loan Documents;

then the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as such Lender reasonably determines will, together with any adjustment in the applicable rates of interest payable hereunder, fully compensate it for such reduction, increased cost or payment. Such additional, amounts shall be payable, in the case of those applicable to prior periods, within 15 Business Days after request by such Lender for such payment and, in the case of those applicable to future periods, on the date specified, or determined in accordance with a method specified, by such Lender. Such Lender will promptly notify the Agent and the Borrowers of any determination made by it referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above and provide to Agent and Borrowers a reasonably detailed calculation of all amounts required to be paid by the Borrowers, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect such Lender’s right to such compensation.

(c) Capital Requirements. If in the determination of any Lender such Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender is required, as a result of a Regulatory Change, to maintain capital on account of the Revolving Credit Facility or such Lender’s Commitment, then, upon request by such Lender, the Borrowers shall from time to time thereafter pay to such Lender such additional amounts as such Lender reasonably determines will fully compensate it for any reduction in the rate of return on the capital that such Lender or such Affiliate is so required to maintain on account of the Revolving Credit Facility or Commitment suffered as a result of such capital requirement. Such additional amounts shall be payable, in the case of those applicable to prior periods, within 15 Business Days after request by such Lender to the Borrowers, and, in the case of those relating to future periods, on the date specified or determined in accordance with a method specified by such Lender. Such Lender will promptly notify the Agent and the Borrowers of any determination made by it referred to in this paragraph(c), but the failure to give such notice shall not affect such Lender’s right to such compensation.

(d) Funding Losses. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, from time to time, upon request, such amount as the Agent reasonably determines is necessary to compensate the Lenders for any loss, cost or expense, including, without limitation, loss of the Applicable Margin incurred by it as a result of (a) any payment, prepayment or conversion of a LIBOR Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan or (b) a LIBOR Loan for any reason not being made or converted, or any payment of principal thereof or interest thereon not being made, on the date therefor determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. At the election of the Agent, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but without duplication, such compensation on account of losses may include an amount equal to the excess of (i) the interest that would have been received from the Borrowers under this Agreement, including the Applicable Margin on any amounts to be reemployed during an Interest Period or its remaining portion over (ii) the interest component of the return that the Agent, determines the Lenders could have obtained had they placed such amount on deposit in the London Interbank Eurodollar Market selected by it for a period equal to such Interest Period or remaining portion.

(e) Determinations. In making the determinations contemplated by this Section, the Agent or the applicable Lender may make such estimates, assumptions, allocations and the like that the Agent or such Lender in good faith determines to be appropriate, and the Agent or specified Lender selection thereof in accordance with this Section, and the determinations made by such Lender on the basis thereof, shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Borrowers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, such Lender shall not apply the provisions of subsections (b) or (c) of this Section with respect to the Borrowers if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of the Agent or such Lender to apply provisions of subsections (b) or (c) of this Section to other borrowers in substantially similar circumstances under substantially comparable provisions of other credit agreements.

(f) Rate Quotations. The Borrowers may call the Agent on or before the date on which a Request for Advance or notice of conversion is to be delivered to receive an indication of the rates then in effect, but it is acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the Agent nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the election is made.

(g) Inability to Determine Rates. If the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a LIBOR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBOR Loan, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan, or (iii) the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Agent will promptly so notify the Parent Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until the Agent (upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for an advance of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Base Rate Loan in the amount specified therein.

Section 4.5 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free and Clear.

(i) Any and all payments by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all taxes (as defined below), provided that that if any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any tax from any payment, then the applicable Loan Party shall (A) make such deductions, (B) timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (C) deliver to the Agent evidence of such payment to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in the manner provided in Section 4.5(d) and, if such tax is a Tax (as defined below), then the sum payable by any applicable Loan Party shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) each Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the amount such party would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

(ii) For purposes of this Agreement (A) “taxes” means any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholding (including interest, penalties and additions to tax), and all liabilities with respect thereto and (B) “Taxes” means any and all taxes excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Agent, (x) income and franchise taxes imposed by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or is or should be qualified to do business or any political subdivision thereof, and (y) income and franchise taxes imposed by the jurisdiction of each Lender’s lending office or any political subdivision thereof, and (z) United States federal withholding taxes imposed by reason of failure or the inability of a Lender to comply with Section 4.5(e) (unless such compliance is precluded as a result of a change in any law, rule, regulation or treaty, or in the administrative interpretation or application thereof, in each case after the date hereof or, in the case of a Participant or Assignee, the date on which such Participant or Assignee receives its interests in the Loans).

(b) Stamp and Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any present or future stamp, registration, recordation or documentary taxes and any other similar fees or charges or excise or property taxes, levies of the United States or of any state or political subdivision thereof or of any applicable foreign jurisdiction which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Loans, the other Loan Documents or the perfection of any rights or security interest in respect thereto (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Indemnity. The Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender and the Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Lender or the Agent and any liability (including penalties, interest, additions thereto and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Such indemnification shall be made within fifteen (15) Business Days from the date such Lender or the Agent makes written demand therefor.

(d) Evidence of Payment. Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrowers shall furnish to the Agent, at its address a referred to in Section 13.1, the original or a certified copy, of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(e) Non-U.S. Lender. On or prior to the date on which any Participant or Assignee that is not a United States person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) receives its interest in the Loans, each Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled at such time to an exemption from United States withholding tax, or that is subject to such tax at a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty, shall provide the Agent and the Parent Borrower with two duly completed copies of the appropriate United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or other applicable successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States, certifying that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of (or at a reduced rate of deduction and withholding of) United States federal withholding taxes. The Borrowers shall have no obligation to pay any additional amounts with respect to Loans made to a Non-U.S. Lender pursuant to Section 4.5(a) or indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender under Section 4.5(c) if such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled at such time to an exemption from or reduction of United States withholding tax but has failed to provide the forms required pursuant to this Section 4.5(e). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.5(e), no Non-U.S. Lender shall be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 4.5(e) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able or obligated to deliver and, for purposes of this Section 4.5, such non-delivery of a form shall not be decreed to be non-compliant with this Section 4.5(e).

(f) Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitment.

Section 4.6 Payment Generally; Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Agent’s Office in the applicable Approved Currency in which the credit was extended and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Percentage of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender. All payments received by the Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected on computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) Presumptions by Agent.

(i) Funding by Lenders. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of any Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the proposed date of such Loan) that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s share of such Loan, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 1.1 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan available to the Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Loan to the Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Loan. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrowers. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuer hereunder that the Parent Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the appropriate Lenders or the Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers has not in fact made such payment, then each of the appropriate Lenders or the Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Agent to any Lender or the Borrowers with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Agreement, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Agent because the conditions to the applicable Loan set forth in Article 5 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d) Obligations of Lenders’ Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Revolving Credit Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 13.14 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 13.14 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 13.14.

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(f) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, Reimbursement Obligations, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal and Letter of Credit Liabilities then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and Letter of Credit Liabilities then due to such parties.

Section 4.7 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations in respect of any the Facilities due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations in respect of any of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Parties at such time) of payment on account of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations in respect of the Facilities then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to any Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

Each Borrower and each of its Foreign Subsidiaries shall cause each insurance policy issued in connection herewith to provide, and the insurer issuing such policy to certify to the Agent that (i) the Agent will be named as additional insured and lender loss payee or mortgagee, as appropriate, under each such insurance policy; (ii) if such insurance be proposed to be cancelled or materially changed for any reason whatsoever, such insurer will promptly notify the Agent and such cancellation or change shall not be effective as to the Agent for at least thirty (30) days after receipt by the Agent of such notice, unless the effect of such change is to extend or increase coverage under the policy; and (iii) the Agent will have the right (but no obligation) at its election to remedy any default in the payment of premiums within thirty (30) days of notice from the insurer of such default.

(b) If no Default or Event of Default exists, loss payments will be applied by each Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary to the repair and/or replacement of property with respect to which the loss was incurred to the extent reasonably feasible, and any loss payments or the balance thereof remaining, to the extent not so applied or used to purchase other assets useful in the business of each such Borrower and each such Subsidiary within 360 days of receipt thereof and subject to the Liens of the Agent hereunder, shall be payable to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders and applied to the Obligations. If an Event of Default or Default shall then exist then such proceeds shall, at the option of the Agent, be applied to reduce the Obligations, and at the Agent’s election the Commitment shall be permanently reduced, or be reinvested in the business of such Borrower or applicable Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments received by the Agent in excess of all Obligations shall be paid over by the Agent to the Borrowers. Copies of such policies or the related certificates, in each case, naming the Agent as additional insured and lender loss payee or mortgagee, as appropriate, shall be delivered to the Agent annually at the time of the delivery of the financial statements referred to in Section 8.1(a) above and at the time any new policy of insurance is issued. If no Default or Event of Default exists, no claim may be adjusted without the consent of the Borrowers.

(c) Each Borrower shall maintain or cause to be maintained all insurance available through the PBGC and/or insurers acceptable to the Agent against their obligations and the obligations of any of its Foreign Subsidiaries to the PBGC.

(ii) terminate any Plan in a manner, or take any other action, which could result in any liability of any Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate to the PBGC;

(d) The Borrowers shall comply with the ERISA reporting requirements set forth in Section 8.9.

As used in this Section 9.18, the term “accrued benefit” has the meaning specified in Section 3(23) of ERISA and the term “current value” has the meaning specified in Section 4001(a)(18)(B) of ERISA.

The Agent or any Lender shall also be permitted to conduct field examinations at Borrowers expense, not more than once a year if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and without limitation if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Agent and the Lenders inspections are solely for the protection of the Agent and the Lenders and no action or inaction of the Agent or the Lenders shall constitute any representation by the Agent or the Lenders that the Borrowers are in compliance with the terms of any Loan Documents or that the Agent or the Lenders approve of the Borrowers affairs, business, finances or accounts.

Section 9.21 Exchange of Notes. Upon receipt of a written notice of loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Note and of a letter of indemnity from the affected Lender or its successors or assigns, and upon surrendering for cancellation such Note if mutilated (in which event no indemnity shall be required), each Borrower shall execute and deliver a new Note of like tenor in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note, as the case may be.

For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 12.6 are expressly not for the benefit of the Borrowers.

Section 12.7 Resignation; Termination. The Agent may resign at any time by giving prior written notice to the Parent Borrower and the Lenders and the Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority Lenders. Such resignation or removal shall take effect at the end of the sixty (60) day period after such notice of resignation or removal has been given or upon the earlier appointment of a successor agent. The Lenders shall (with the consent of the Parent Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing), upon receipt of such notice, appoint a successor agent from among, the Lenders. The Lenders and the Borrowers shall execute such documents as shall be necessary to effect such appointment. During any period that there shall not be a duly appointed and acting Agent, the Borrowers agree to make each payment due under this Agreement and under the Notes directly to each Lender entitled thereto and to provide copies of each certificate or other document required under this Agreement directly to each Lender.

Section 12.8 Sharing. If any Lender shall at any time receive payment of principal on account of all or a part of any Note held by it, whether by set-off or otherwise, in a greater proportion than the principal payments made on the Notes held by the other Lenders, such Lender shall simultaneously purchase, without recourse, for crash, ratably from each of the other Lenders, such portion of the Notes held by such other Lenders so that, after such purchase, each Lender will hold an unpaid principal amount of Notes in the same proportion that the outstanding principal balance due to such Lender immediately prior to such payment bore to the aggregate outstanding principal balance due to all Lenders immediately prior to such payment. In the event that, at any time, any Lender shall be required to refund any amount which has been paid to or received by it on account of any Note held by it, and which has been applied to the purchase of a portion of the Notes held by other Lenders pursuant to this Section, then, upon notice from such Lender, each of the other Lenders shall simultaneously purchase, without recourse, its portion for cash, to the extent of its ratable share thereof, of the Notes held by the Lender required to make such refund.

Section 12.9 Other Relationships. It is acknowledged that the Agent, the Lenders and/or any of their Affiliates may now or hereafter have lending or other relationships with the Borrowers and Affiliates of the Borrowers. It is agreed that the Agent and the Lenders are free to act with respect thereto without consulting with one another and without regard to the effect of any such action or relationship upon the Loans or other Obligations. With respect to the portion of the Loans made by it and Notes issued to it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender or holder of a Note and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term “Lenders” or “Holders of Notes” or any similar term shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its capacity as a Lender.

Section 13.2 Duration; Survival.

All such representations and warranties as well as all other covenants and agreements of the Borrowers contained in the Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect from and after the date hereof so long as the Borrowers may borrow hereunder and until termination of the Commitment and payment in full of the Obligations.

Section 13.3 Borrower Representative. Each Subsidiary Borrower does hereby irrevocably make, constitute and appoint the Parent Borrower as its agent and attorney-in-fact for all purposes in connection with the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, with respect to any and all payments, borrowings, disbursements and notices described hereunder.

The Agent and the Lender shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon the status of the Parent Borrower as agent and attorney-in-fact of each Subsidiary Borrower.

Section 13.4 No Implied Waiver; Rights Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document and no course of dealing between the Borrowers and the Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which the Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on the Borrowers in any case shall entitle the Borrowers to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, or shall constitute a waiver of the right of the Agent or any Lender to take any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Section 13.5 Amendments, etc.

No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Majority Lenders and the Borrowers or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(a) waive any condition set forth in Section 5.3, or, in the case of the initial Loans, Section 5.1, without the written consent of each Lender;

(b) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 10.2) without the written consent of such Lender;

(c) postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment (excluding mandatory prepayments) of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under such other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender entitled to such payment;

(d) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan or Reimbursement Obligations, or (subject to clause (iv) of the second proviso to this Section 13.5) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender entitled to such amount; provided, however, that only the consent of the Majority Lenders shall be necessary (i) to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay interest or Letter of Credit Fees at the Default Rate or (ii) to amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or to reduce any fee payable hereunder;

(e) change Section 1.6 or Section 10.4 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender; or

(f) release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions, without the written consent of each Lender;

and provided, further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Issuer under this Agreement or any Issuer Document relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement; (iii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (iv) the Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender.

If any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of each Lender and that has been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrowers may replace such non-consenting Lender in accordance with Section 13.6; provided that such amendment, waiver, consent or release can be effected as a result of the assignment contemplated by such Section (together with all other such assignments required by the Borrowers to be made pursuant to this paragraph).

Section 13.6 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither a Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 13.6(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent, the Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees (each an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 13.6(b), participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment under any Facility and the Loans at the time owing to it under such Facility or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Parent Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among any separate facilities on a non-pro rata basis;

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Parent Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the Parent Borrower shall not be required to consent to any assignment to a Fund which is not an Approved Fund) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

(B) the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

(C) the consent of the Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding).

(iv) Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Borrowers. No such assignment shall be made to a Borrower or any of a Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.4, and 4.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrowers (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 13.6(d).

(c) Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Agent’s office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities 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 may 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.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 13.5 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.4 and 4.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.6(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.12 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.8 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Limitation Upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.4 or 4.5 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.5 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 4.5(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Resignation as Issuer after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 13.6(b), Bank of America may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, resign as Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as Issuer, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as Issuer. If Bank of America resigns as Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuer and all Letter of Credit Liabilities with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in unreimbursed amounts pursuant to Section 1.4(f)). Upon the appointment of a successor Issuer, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuer and (b) the successor Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Section 13.7 Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of the several sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

Section 13.8 Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without reference to the laws applicable to conflicts or choice of law.

Section 13.9 Payments Due on Non-Business Days. If any payment under the Loan Documents becomes due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees in connection with such payment.

Section 13.10 Counterparts. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of a photocopy or telecopy of an executed counterpart of a signature page to any Loan Document shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such Loan Document.

Section 13.11 Maximum Lawful Interest Rate.

(a) All agreements between any Borrowers and Guarantors and the Lenders are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event, whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the use or the forbearance of the indebtedness evidenced hereby exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law. As used herein, the term “Applicable Law” shall mean the law in effect as of the date hereof; provided, however, that in the event there is a change in the law, which results in a higher permissible rate of interest, then this Agreement shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date. In this regard, it is expressly agreed that it is the intent of Borrowers and the Lenders in the execution, delivery and acceptance of this Agreement to contract in strict compliance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania from time to time in effect. If, under or from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any of the Loan Documents at the time of performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of such validity prescribed by Applicable Law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limits of such validity, and if under or from circumstances whatsoever the Lenders should ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance evidenced hereby and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision of all agreements between any Borrowers, Guarantors and the Lenders.

(b) If, at any time, the rate of interest, together with all amounts which constitute interest and which are reserved, charged or taken by the Lenders as compensation for fees, services or expenses incidental to the making, negotiating or collection of the loan evidenced hereby, shall be deemed by any competent court of law, governmental agency or tribunal to exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by the Lenders to Borrowers under applicable law, then, during such time as such rate of interest would be deemed excessive, that portion of each sum paid attributable to that portion of such interest rate that exceeds the maximum rate of interest so permitted shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment of principal.

Section 13.12 Set-off of Bank Accounts. The Borrowers hereby grant to Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders and their successors and assigns a continuing lien, security interest and right of set-off as security for all Obligations, whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of any Lender or any entity under common control with any Lender or in transit to any of them. At any time following an Event of Default which is continuing without demand or notice (any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrowers), the Agent and/or such Lender may set-off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to the Obligations of the Borrowers or any Guarantor even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of the other Collateral. ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOANS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT TO SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWERS, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

Section 13.13 Severability. Every provision of the Loan Documents is intended to be severable, and if any term or provision hereof or thereof shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof shall not be affected or impaired thereby, and any invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 13.14 Payment and Reimbursement of Costs and Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) Whether or not any Loans are made, the Borrowers shall, unconditionally upon demand, pay or reimburse the Agent for, and indemnify and save the Agent harmless against, any and all liabilities, losses (including judgments, penalties and fines), costs, expenses, claims, and/or charges (including without limitation reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel, accountants, investigators, the reasonable allocated costs , of in-house legal counsel, accounting, consulting, brokerage or other similar professional fees and expenses, and any fees and expenses associated with travel or other costs relating to any appraisals or examinations conduction with the Loans or any Collateral, and other experts, whether or not they are employees of the Agent) (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of, relating to or connected with:

(i) the negotiation, preparation, default, collection, waiver or amendment of any of the Loan Documents, whether or not executed, or any waiver, modification, restatement, reaffirmation, amendment or consent thereunder or thereto;

(ii) the administration of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, performing audits or investigations or consulting with attorneys or other advisors with respect to any matter in any way arising out of, related to, or connected with, the Loan Documents; and

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (a), whether or not any Loans are made, the Borrowers shall, unconditionally upon demand, pay or reimburse each Indemnified Person for, and indemnify and save each Indemnified Person harmless against, any and all Losses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with, arising out of or in any way relating to:

(i) any claim (whether civil, criminal or administrative and whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of, related to or connected with, the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, related to property subject to Mortgages or leasehold mortgages), whether such claim arises or is asserted before or after the date hereof or before or after the Maturity Date (whether such claim is asserted by such Indemnified Person or the Borrowers or any other Person);

(ii) any investigation, governmental or otherwise, arising out of, related to, or in any way connected with, the Loan Documents or the relationships established thereunder, including the prosecution or defense or investigation thereof and any litigation or proceeding with respect thereto (whether or not, in the case of any such litigation or proceeding, such Indemnified Party is a party thereto);

(iii) protecting, preserving, exercising or enforcing any of the rights of the Agent and the Lenders in, under or related to the Loan Documents;

(iv) all transfer, documentary, stamp and similar taxes, and all recording and filing fees and taxes payable in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents or the making of the Loans; and

(v) commissions or claims by or on behalf of brokers, finders or agents not retained by the Lenders (and the Borrowers represent that they have not engaged or used any such broker, finder or agent);

except to the extent any of the foregoing is held by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person.

(c) The amount of all of such Losses shall, beginning ten (10) days following notification of the Parent Borrower thereof until paid, bear interest at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder (including the Default Rate) and all obligations of Borrowers in respect thereof shall be secured by the Collateral.

Section 13.15 Consent to Jurisdiction. For the purpose of any action that may be brought in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Document, the Borrowers hereby consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or of any federal court located in such state and waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process be made by certified or registered mail directed to such Borrowers at the address provided for in Section 13.1 and service so made shall be deemed to be completed on actual receipt. The Borrowers waive the right to contest the jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on the ground of inconvenience or otherwise and, further, waives any right to bring any action or proceeding against the Lenders in any court outside the City of Philadelphia in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The provisions of this Section shall not limit or otherwise affect the right of the Agent or any Lender to institute and conduct an action in any other appropriate manner, jurisdiction or court.

Section 13.16 Termination. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the later of (a) the time that all Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and (b) the time that there shall be no Commitment; provided, however, that the Borrowers expense and indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 13.13 above as well as any liability in connection with any untrue representation or warranty, shall survive such termination.

Section 13.17 Waiver of Right to Jury Trial. EACH PARTY MUTUALLY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE LOAN OR ENFORCEMENT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREE THAT NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, BORROWERS HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. BORROWERS CERTIFY THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LENDER TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND MAKE THE LOAN.

Section 13.18 Confidentiality. The Agent and the Lenders agree to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Agent and the Lenders from disclosing any such information (a) to any Transferee or prospective Transferee that agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section (or executes a confidentiality agreement with confidentiality terms that are substantially similar to the terms of this Section), (b) to any of its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors), (c) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority or self regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over it, (d) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any requirement of law, (e) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding to which it is a party (so long as the pertinent Loan Party is given a reasonable opportunity to seek a protective order to safeguard such information), or (f) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding any other express or implied agreement, arrangement or understanding to the contrary, each of the parties hereto hereby, agree that, each party hereto (and each of its employees, representatives or agents) are permitted to disclose to any and all persons, without limitation, the tax treatment and tax aspects of the Loans and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Loan Parties or the Agent and the Lenders, related to such tax treatment and tax aspects. To the extent not inconsistent with the immediately preceding sentence, this authorization does not extend to disclosure of any other information or any other term or detail not related to the tax treatment or tax aspects of the Loans or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 13.19 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrowers that, pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Act.

Section 13.20 Conversion of Currencies.

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction, the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may, in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction, purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 13.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

Section 13.21 Amendment and Restatement. Notwithstanding that this Agreement is amending and restating the Existing Credit Agreement, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to cause a novation of any transfers, conveyances or transactions which were effected under the Existing Agreement, or of any Obligations, including, without limitation, the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes issued pursuant thereto and the security interests granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, or caused it to be executed by their duly authorized officers, all as of the day and year first above written.
