Interest on such Base Rate Loan shall be payable, commencing January 31, 2008, and continuing on each Regularly Scheduled Payment Date thereafter and at the maturity thereof.

(ii) Daily LIBOR Loan. Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of a Revolving Loan that is a Daily LIBOR Loan outstanding from time to time from the date thereof until paid at a rate per annum equal to one hundred (100.00) basis points in excess of the Daily LIBOR Rate (from time to time in effect). Interest on such Daily LIBOR Loan shall be payable, commencing January 31, 2008, and continuing on each Regularly Scheduled Payment Date thereafter and at the maturity thereof.

(iii) LIBOR Loans. Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan that is a LIBOR Loan outstanding from time to time, fixed in advance on the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto through the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to one hundred

(100.00) basis points in excess of the LIBOR Rate. Interest on such LIBOR Loan shall be payable on each Interest Adjustment Date with respect to an Interest Period (provided that if an Interest Period shall exceed three months, the interest must be paid every three months, commencing three months from the beginning of such Interest Period).

(b) Term Loan.

(i) Base Rate Loan. With respect to any portion of the Term Loan that is a Base Rate Loan, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof outstanding from time to time from the date thereof until paid, commencing on the first Regularly Scheduled Payment Date after the Conversion Date, and continuing on each Regularly Scheduled Payment Date thereafter and at the maturity thereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate (from time to time in effect) minus one hundred twenty-five (125.00) basis points.

(iii) LIBOR Loans. With respect to any portion of the Term Loan that is a LIBOR Loan, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of such LIBOR Loan outstanding from time to time, fixed in advance on the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto through the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to one hundred (100.00) basis points in excess of the LIBOR Rate. Interest on such LIBOR Loan shall be payable on each Interest Adjustment Date with respect to an Interest Period (provided that if an Interest Period shall exceed three months, the interest must be paid every three months, commencing three months from the beginning of such Interest Period).

(d) Limitation on Interest. In no event shall the rate of interest hereunder exceed the maximum rate allowable by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess

interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower.

and LIBOR Loans and all prepayments thereof and the applicable dates, including Interest Periods, with respect thereto, by such method as Lender may generally employ; provided, however, that failure to make any such entry shall in no way detract from the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement or any Note.

Lender shall provide Borrower with quarterly statements regarding the outstanding Loans, in form and substance customary to Lender; provided that Lender’s failure to provide such statements shall not affect the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement.

or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate; or

(b) Whenever any Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be withheld and paid by a Credit Party pursuant to subpart (a) above, such Credit Party shall timely withhold and pay such taxes to the relevant Governmental Authorities. As promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Credit Party showing payment thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably acceptable to Lender. If such Credit Party shall fail to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Credit Party and Borrower shall indemnify Lender on demand for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender as a result of any such failure.

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

Section 3.4. LIBOR Rate and Daily LIBOR Rate Lending Unlawful: Inability to Determine Rate.

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

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

The liability of each Controlled Group member with respect to each ERISA Plan has been fully funded based upon reasonable and proper actuarial assumptions, has been fully insured, or has been fully reserved for on its financial statements. No changes have occurred or are expected to occur that would cause a material increase in the cost of providing benefits under the ERISA Plan. With respect to each ERISA Plan that is intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a), (a) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust operationally comply with the applicable requirements of Code Section 401(a); (b) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust have been amended to comply with all such requirements as currently in effect, other than those requirements for which a retroactive amendment can be made within the “remedial amendment period” available under Code Section 401(b) (as extended under Treasury Regulations and other Treasury pronouncements upon which taxpayers may rely); (c) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust have received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating that the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(a), that the associated trust qualifies under Code Section 501(a) and, if applicable, that any cash or deferred arrangement under the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(k), unless the ERISA Plan was first adopted at a time for which the above-described “remedial amendment period” has not yet expired; (d) the ERISA Plan currently satisfies the requirements of Code Section 410(b), without regard to any retroactive amendment that may be made within the above-described “remedial amendment period”; and (e) no contribution made to the ERISA Plan is subject to an excise tax under Code Section 4972. With respect to any Pension Plan, the “accumulated benefit obligation” of Controlled Group members with respect to the Pension Plan (as determined in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions”) does not exceed the fair market value of Pension Plan assets.

Section 6.10. Consents or Approvals. No consent, approval or authorization of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to

be obtained or completed by any Company in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of any of the Loan Documents, that has not already been obtained or completed.

Section 6.11. Solvency. Borrower has received consideration that is the reasonable equivalent value of the obligations and liabilities that Borrower has incurred to Lender. Borrower is not insolvent as defined in any applicable state, federal or relevant foreign statute, nor will Borrower be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to Lender. Borrower is not engaged or about to engage in any business or transaction for which the assets retained by it are or will be an unreasonably small amount of capital, taking into consideration the obligations to Lender incurred hereunder. Borrower does not intend to, nor does it believe that it will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.

Section 6.12. Financial Statements. The audited Consolidated financial statements of Borrower for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and the unaudited Consolidated financial statements of Borrower for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007, furnished to Lender, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and fairly present the financial condition of Borrower (on a Consolidated basis) as of the dates of such financial statements and the results of their operations for the periods then ending. Since the dates of such statements, there has been no material adverse change in Borrower or any Material Subsidiary’s financial condition, properties or business or any change in Borrower or any Material Subsidiary’s accounting procedures.

Section 6.13. Regulations. No Company is engaged principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” (within the meaning of Regulation U of the FRB of the United States of America). Neither the granting of any Loan (or any conversion thereof) nor the use of the proceeds of any Loan will violate, or be inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X or any other Regulation of such Board of Governors.

Section 6.14. Material Agreements. Except as disclosed on Schedule 6.14 hereto, as of the Closing Date, Borrower is not a party to any (a) debt instrument (excluding the Loan Documents); (b) lease (capital, operating or otherwise), whether as lessee or lessor thereunder; (c) contract, commitment, agreement, or other arrangement involving the purchase or sale of any inventory by it, or the license of any right to or by it; (d) contract, commitment, agreement, or other arrangement with any of its “Affiliates” (as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) other than a Company; (e) management or employment contract or contract for personal services with any of its Affiliates that is not otherwise terminable at will or on less than ninety (90) days’ notice without liability; (f) collective bargaining agreement; or (g) other contract, agreement, understanding, or arrangement with a third party that, as to subsections (a) through (g) above, if violated, breached, or terminated for any reason, would have or would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.15. Maintenance of Insurance. Each Company maintains with financially sound and reputable insurers insurance as is commonly maintained by Persons similarly situated, but in a manner consistent with past practices.

Section 6.16. FDIC Insurance. The deposits held by each Financial Subsidiary that is an “insured depository institution” (within the meaning of 12 U.S.C. 1813(c)(2)) and the deposits held by each Financial Subsidiary are insured by the FDIC in the maximum amount available for such deposits. No act has occurred that would adversely affect the status of such Financial Subsidiary as an FDIC insured bank.

Section 6.17. Dividend Restrictions; Other Restrictions.

(a) No Material Subsidiary has violated any applicable regulatory restrictions on dividends, and no Governmental Authority has taken any action to restrict the payment of dividends by any Financial Subsidiary.

(b) No Company is under investigation by, or is operating under any restrictions (excluding any restrictions on the payment of dividends referenced in subsection (a) above) imposed by or agreed to with, any Governmental Authority, other than routine examinations by such Governmental Authority.

Section 6.18. Capital Measures. As of the Closing Date, Borrower and each Material Subsidiary have been, or are deemed to have been, notified by the appropriate Governmental Authority having regulatory authority over Borrower or such Material Subsidiary, as applicable, that each of them is “well capitalized” (or “adequately capitalized with respect to Borrower”), as determined in accordance with any regulations established by such Governmental Authority.

Section 6.19. Accurate and Complete Statements. Neither the Loan Documents nor any written statement made by any Company in connection with any of the Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein or in the Loan Documents not misleading. After due inquiry by Borrower, there is no known fact that any Company has not disclosed to Lender that has or is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.20. Investment Company. No Company is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Section 6.21. Defaults. No Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, nor will any begin to exist immediately after the execution and delivery hereof.

The remedies herein provided are cumulative and in addition to any other rights, powers or privileges held under any of the Loan Documents or by operation of law, by contract or otherwise.

All obligations provided for in this Section 9.5 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.6. Execution in Counterparts.

This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Borrower and Lender and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of Lender.

In no event shall Lender be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by or on behalf of any Company. Borrower hereby agrees that the failure of Lender to comply with the provisions of this Section 9.10 shall not relieve Borrower of any of the obligations to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, any Note and any other Loan Document or other agreement, document or instrument attached hereto or executed on or as of the Closing Date integrate all of the terms and conditions mentioned herein or incidental hereto and supersede all oral representations and negotiations and prior writings with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Borrower, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any action or proceeding in any such court as well as any right it may now or hereafter have to remove such action or proceeding, once commenced, to another court on the grounds of FORUM NON CONVENIENS or otherwise. Borrower agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
