RECITALS

WHEREAS, Borrowers have requested that Lenders extend revolving credit facilities to Borrowers of up to One Hundred Five Million Dollars ($105,000,000) in the aggregate for the purpose of refinancing certain indebtedness of the Credit Parties, to pay fees and expenses related thereto and to provide (a) working capital financing for the Credit Parties, (b) funds for other general corporate purposes of the Credit Parties (including in the form of Letters of Credit) and (c) funds for other purposes permitted hereunder; and for these purposes, Lenders are willing to make certain loans and other extensions of credit to Borrowers of up to such amount upon the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, Borrowers have agreed to secure all of their Obligations under the Loan Documents by granting to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, a security interest in and lien upon their existing and after-acquired Collateral (as defined herein); and

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Annex A and, for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the rules of construction set forth in Annex A shall govern. All Annexes, Schedules, Exhibits and other attachments (collectively, “Appendices”) hereto, or expressly identified to this Agreement, are incorporated herein by reference, and taken together with this Agreement, shall constitute but a single agreement. These Recitals shall be construed as part of the Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.  AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT

1.1 Credit Facilities.

(a) Revolving Credit Facility.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Lender agrees to make available to Borrowers at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date until the Commitment Termination Date its Pro Rata Share of advances (each, a “Revolving Credit Advance”). The Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan of any Revolving Lender shall not at any time exceed its separate Revolving Loan Commitment (less its Pro Rata Share of the Export-Related Credit Participations). The obligations of each Revolving Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint. Until the Commitment Termination Date, Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section 1.1(a); provided; however, except as set forth in Section 1.1(a)(iii), the amount of any Revolving Credit Advance to be made at any time shall not exceed Primary Borrowing Availability at such time. Primary Borrowing Availability may be reduced by Reserves imposed by Agent in its Permitted Discretion. Each Revolving Credit Advance shall be made on notice by Borrower Representative on behalf of the applicable Borrower to one of the representatives of Agent identified in Schedule 1.1 at the address specified therein. Any such notice must be given no later than (1) noon (New York time) on the Business Day of the proposed Revolving Credit Advance, in the case of an Index Rate Loan, or (2) noon (New York time) on the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Revolving Credit Advance, in the case of a LIBOR Loan. Each such notice (a ”Notice of Revolving Credit Advance”) must be given in writing (by telecopy or overnight courier) substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(a)(i), and shall include the information required in such Exhibit. If any Borrower desires to have the Revolving Credit Advances bear interest by reference to a LIBOR Rate, Borrower Representative must comply with Section 1.5(e).

(ii) Each Borrower shall, if requested by a Revolving Lender, jointly execute and deliver to such Revolving Lender a note to evidence the Revolving Loan Commitment of that Revolving Lender. Each note shall be in the principal amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment of the applicable Revolving Lender, dated the Closing Date (or such “effective date” as set forth under any Assignment Agreement) and substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(a)(ii) (each a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”). Each Revolving Note shall represent the obligation of the applicable Borrower to pay the amount of the applicable Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment or, if less, such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Credit Advances to such Borrower together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 1.5. The entire unpaid balance of the aggregate Revolving Loan and all other non-contingent Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Commitment Termination Date.

2

(iii) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the request of Borrower Representative, each Revolving Lender agrees to make at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date until the Commitment Termination Date its Pro Rata Share of  Revolving Credit Advances to Borrowers notwithstanding that any such Revolving Credit Advance will cause the outstanding balance of the aggregate Revolving Loans to exceed the Primary Borrowing Availability (any such excess Revolving Credit Advances are herein referred to collectively as “Permitted Overadvances”); provided, however, the amount of all Permitted Overadvances outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Maximum Overadvance Amount at such time. The Pro Rata Share of the Permitted Overadvances plus all other Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender shall not at any time exceed its separate Revolving Loan Commitment (less its Pro Rata Share of the Export-Related Credit Participations and Swing Line Loans). The obligations of each Revolving Lender to make Permitted Overadvances hereunder shall be several and not joint. Until the Commitment Termination Date, Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section 1.1(a)(iii). Each Permitted Overadvance shall be made on notice by Borrower Representative on behalf of the applicable Borrower to one of the representatives of Agent identified in Schedule 1.1 at the address specified therein. Any such notice must be given no later than (1) noon (New York time) on the Business Day of the proposed Permitted Overadvance, in the case of an Index Rate Loan, or (2) noon (New York time) on the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Permitted Overadvance, in the case of a LIBOR Loan. Each such notice (a ”Notice of Permitted Overadvance”) must be given in writing (by telecopy or overnight courier) substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(a)(iii), and shall include the information required in such Exhibit. If any Borrower desires to have a Permitted Overadvance bear interest by reference to a LIBOR Rate, Borrower Representative must comply with Section 1.5(e).

(b) Intentionally Omitted.

(c) Swing Line Facility.

(i) Agent shall notify the Swing Line Lender promptly upon Agent’s receipt of any Notice of Revolving Credit Advance. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender may, in its discretion, make available from time to time on and after the Closing Date until the Commitment Termination Date advances (each, a “Swing Line Advance”) in accordance with any such notice. The provisions of this Section 1.1(c) shall not relieve Revolving Lenders of their obligations to make Revolving Credit Advances under Section 1.1(a); provided that if the Swing Line Lender makes a Swing Line Advance pursuant to any such notice, such Swing Line Advance shall be in lieu of any Revolving Credit Advance that otherwise may be made by Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to such notice. The aggregate amount of Swing Line Advances outstanding shall not exceed at any time the lesser of (A) the Swing Line Commitment and (B) the lesser of the Maximum Amount and (except for Permitted Overadvances) the Aggregate Borrowing Base, in each case, less the outstanding balance of the Revolving Loan and the Export-Related Loan at such time (“Swing Line Availability”). Until the Commitment Termination Date, Borrowers may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section 1.1(c). Each Swing Line Advance shall be made pursuant to a Notice of Revolving Credit Advance delivered to Agent by Borrower Representative on behalf of the applicable Borrower in accordance with Section 1.1(a). Any such notice must be given no later than noon (New York time) on the Business Day of the proposed Swing Line Advance.

3

Unless the Swing Line Lender has received at least one Business Day’s prior written notice from Requisite Revolving Lenders instructing it not to make a Swing Line Advance, the Swing Line Lender shall, notwithstanding the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Sections 2.2, be entitled to fund that Swing Line Advance, and to have each Revolving Lender make Revolving Credit Advances in accordance with Section 1.1(c)(iii) or purchase participating interests in accordance with Section 1.1(c)(iv). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Swing Line Loan shall constitute an Index Rate Loan. As provided in Section 1.1(c)(iii), Agent may cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Loan to be repaid from the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Advance.

(ii) Each Borrower shall, if requested by the Swing Line Lender, jointly execute and deliver to the Swing Line Lender a promissory note to evidence the Swing Line Commitment. Such note shall be in the principal amount of the Swing Line Commitment of the Swing Line Lender, dated the Closing Date and substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(c)(ii) (the “Swing Line Note”). The Swing Line Note shall represent the obligation of each Borrower to pay the amount of the Swing Line Commitment or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Swing Line Advances made to such Borrower together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 1.5. The entire unpaid balance of the Swing Line Loan and all other non-contingent Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Commitment Termination Date if not sooner paid in full.

(iii) The Swing Line Lender, at any time and from time to time no less frequently than once weekly shall on behalf of any Borrower (and each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so act on its behalf) request each Revolving Lender (including the Swing Line Lender) to make a Revolving Credit Advance to each Borrower (which shall be an Index Rate Loan) in an amount equal to that Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of the applicable Borrower’s Swing Line Loan (the “Refunded Swing Line Loan”) outstanding on the date such notice is given. Unless any of the events described in Section 8.1(i) or 8.1(j) has occurred (in which event the procedures of Section 1.1(c)(iv) shall apply) and regardless of whether the conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement to the making of a Revolving Credit Advance are then satisfied, each Revolving Lender shall disburse directly to Agent, its Pro Rata Share of a Revolving Credit Advance on behalf of the Swing Line Lender prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York time) in immediately available funds on the Business Day next succeeding the date that notice is given. The proceeds of those Revolving Credit Advances shall be immediately paid to the Swing Line Lender and applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loan of the applicable Borrower.

(iv) If, prior to refunding a Swing Line Loan with a Revolving Credit Advance pursuant to Section 1.1(c)(iii), one of the events described in Section 8.1(i) or 8.1(j) has occurred, then, subject to the provisions of Section 1.1(c)(v), each Revolving Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Credit Advance was to have been made for the benefit of the applicable Borrower, purchase from the Swing Line Lender an undivided participation interest in the Swing Line Loan to such Borrower in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan. Upon request, each Revolving Lender shall promptly transfer to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation interest.

4

(v) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances in accordance with Section 1.1(c)(iii) and to purchase participation interests in accordance with Section 1.1(c)(iv) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default; (C) any inability of any Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement at any time or (D) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If any Revolving Lender does not make available to Agent or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount required pursuant to Section 1.1(c)(iii) or 1.1(c)(iv), as the case may be, the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date of non-payment until such amount is paid in full at the Federal Funds Rate for the first two (2) Business Days and at the Index Rate thereafter.

(d) Export-Related Loan.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Export-Related Loan Lender agrees to make available to Borrowers at any time and from time to time on and after the Export-Related Loan Commitment Date until the Export-Related Loan Termination Date export-related advances (each, an “Export-Related Advance”) in accordance with any notice provided as set forth below. Until the Export-Related Loan Termination Date, Borrowers may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section 1.1(d)(i); provided, that (A) the amount of any Export-Related Advance to be made at any time shall not exceed the Export-Related Borrowing Availability at such time, and (B) the aggregate amount of Export-Related Advances outstanding shall not exceed at any time the lesser of (i) the Export-Related Loan Commitment or (ii) the Maximum Amount less the outstanding balances of the Revolving Loan and the Export-Related Loan at such time. Export-Related Borrowing Availability may be further reduced by Reserves imposed by Agent in its Permitted Discretion. Each Export-Related Advance shall be made on notice by Borrower Representative to one of the representatives of Agent identified in Schedule 1.1 at the address specified therein. Any such notice must be given no later than: (1) noon (New York time) on the Business Day of the proposed Export-Related Advance, in the case of an Index Rate Loan; or (2) noon (New York time) on the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Export-Related Advance, in the case of a LIBOR Loan. Each such notice (a “Notice of Export-Related Advance”) must be given in writing (by telecopy or overnight courier) substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(d)(i), and shall include the information required in such Exhibit). If Borrowers desire to have the Export-Related Advances bear interest by reference to a LIBOR Rate, Borrowers must comply with Section 1.5(e). Agent shall notify the Export-Related Loan Lender promptly upon Agent’s receipt of any Notice of Export-Related Advance. Unless the Export-Related Loan Lender has received at least one Business Day’s prior written notice from Requisite Revolving Lenders instructing it not to make an Export-Related Advance, the Export-Related Loan Lender shall, notwithstanding the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 2.2 and Section 2.3, be entitled to fund that Export-Related Advance, and to have each Revolving Lender purchase participating interests in accordance with Section 1.1(d)(iii). The Export-Related Loan Lender, subject to the terms hereof, shall make the requested Export-Related Advance to Borrowers not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested funding date.

5

(ii) Each Borrower shall, if requested by the Export-Related Loan Lender, jointly execute and deliver to the Export-Related Loan Lender a promissory note to evidence the Export-Related Loan Commitment. Such note shall be in the principal amount of  the Export-Related Loan Commitment of the Export-Related Loan Lender, dated the Export-Related Loan Commitment Date and substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(d)(ii) (the “Export-Related Loan Note”). The Export-Related Loan Note shall represent the obligation of Borrowers to pay the amount of the Export-Related Loan Commitment or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Export-Related Advances made to Borrowers together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 1.5. The entire unpaid balance of the Export-Related Loan and all other non-contingent Obligations related thereto shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Export-Related Loan Termination Date if not sooner paid in full.

(iii) Immediately upon the making of any Export-Related Advance by the Export-Related Loan Lender, each Revolving Lender (including the Export-Related Loan Lender) shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from the Export-Related Loan Lender an undivided interest and participation in such Export-Related Advance in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of such Export-Related Advance (each an “Export-Related Credit Participation” and collectively, the “Export-Related Credit Participations”). Each Revolving Lender shall fund its participation in such Export-Related Advance in the same manner as provided in this Agreement with respect to Revolving Credit Advances, regardless of whether the conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement to the making of a Revolving Credit Advance are then satisfied, and as set forth in this Section 1.1(d). The Export-Related Loan Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion, but not less frequently than weekly, shall request each Revolving Lender (including the Export-Related Loan Lender) to fund its participation in outstanding Export-Related Advances which have not been previously funded in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of such Export-Related Advances (a “Funded Export-Related Credit Participation”), regardless, among other things, of whether the conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement to the making of a Revolving Credit Advance are then satisfied. Each Revolving Lender shall disburse directly to Agent such amount prior to 4:00 p.m. (New York time) in immediately available funds on the Business Day next succeeding the date that such request is given, and Agent shall immediately pay such amount to the Export-Related Loan Lender.

(iv) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to purchase participation interests in accordance with Section 1.1(d)(iii) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender may have against the Export-Related Loan Lender, Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default; (C) any inability of Borrowers to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement at any time; or (D) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If any Revolving Lender does not make available to Agent the amount required pursuant to Section 1.1(d)(iii), the Export-Related Loan Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date of non payment until such amount is paid in full at the Federal Funds Rate for the first two (2) Business Days and at the Index Rate thereafter.

(v) Any principal or interest received by Agent in respect of any Export-Related Advance shall be promptly paid by Agent to the Revolving Lenders which have a Funded Export-Related Credit Participation in such Export-Related Advance in an amount equal to their respective Pro Rata Shares of such principal or interest (and to the Export-Related Loan Lender with respect to any such Export-Related Advance as to which a Funded Export-Related Credit Participation does not exist).

(e) Reliance on Notices; Appointment of Borrower Representative. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Notice of Revolving Credit Advance, Notice of Export-Related Advance, Notice of Conversion/Continuation or similar notice believed by Agent to be genuine. Agent may assume that each Person executing and delivering any notice in accordance herewith was duly authorized, unless the responsible individual acting thereon for Agent has actual knowledge to the contrary. Each Borrower hereby designates Parent as its representative and agent on its behalf for the purposes of issuing Notices of Revolving Credit Advances, Notice of Export-Related Advances and Notices of Conversion/Continuation, giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, selecting interest rate options, requesting Letters of Credit, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers under the Loan Documents. Borrower Representative hereby accepts such appointment. Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from Borrower Representative as a notice or communication from all Borrowers, and may give any notice or communication required or permitted to be given to any Borrower or Borrowers hereunder to Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower or Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.

1.2 Letters of Credit. Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions contained herein and in Annex B, Borrower Representative, on behalf of the applicable Borrower, shall have the right to request, and Revolving Lenders agree to incur, or purchase participations in, Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of each Borrower.

1.2ASwap Related Reimbursement Obligations.

(a) Borrowers agree to reimburse GE Capital in immediately available funds in the amount of any payment made by GE Capital under a Swap Related L/C (such reimbursement obligation, whether contingent upon payment by GE Capital under the Swap Related L/C or otherwise, being herein called a “Swap Related Reimbursement Obligation”). No Swap Related Reimbursement Obligation for any Swap Related L/C may exceed the amount of the payment obligations owed by Borrowers under the interest rate protection or hedging agreement or transaction supported by the Swap Related L/C.

7

(b) A Swap Related Reimbursement Obligation shall be due and payable by Borrowers within one (1) Business Day after the date on which a related payment was made by GE Capital under the Swap Related L/C.

(c) Any Swap Related Reimbursement Obligation shall, during the period in which it is unpaid, bear interest at the rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate plus one percent (1%), as if the unpaid amount of the Swap Related Reimbursement Obligation were a LIBOR Loan, and not at any otherwise applicable Default Rate. Such interest shall be payable upon demand. The following additional provisions apply to the calculation and charging of interest by reference to the LIBOR Rate:

(i) The LIBOR Rate shall be determined for each successive one-month LIBOR Period during which the Swap Related Reimbursement Obligation is unpaid, notwithstanding the occurrence of any Event of Default and even if the LIBOR Period were to extend beyond the Commitment Termination Date.

(ii) If a Swap Related Reimbursement Obligation is paid during a monthly period for which the LIBOR Rate is determined, interest shall be pro-rated and charged for the portion of the monthly period during which the Swap Related Reimbursement Obligation was unpaid. Section 1.13(b) shall not apply to any payment of a Swap Related Reimbursement Obligation during the monthly period.

(iii) Notwithstanding the last paragraph of the definition of “LIBOR Rate”, if the LIBOR Rate is no longer available from Telerate News Service, the LIBOR Rate shall be determined by GE Capital from such financial reporting service or other information available to GE Capital as in GE Capital’s reasonable discretion indicates GE Capital’s cost of funds.

(d) Except as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.2A and in Section 11.3, Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay to GE Capital or any of its Affiliates any Letter of Credit Fee, or any other fees, charges or expenses, in respect of a Swap Related L/C or arranging for any interest rate protection or hedging agreement or transaction supported by the Swap Related L/C. GE Capital and its Affiliates shall look to the beneficiary of a Swap Related L/C for payment of any such letter of credit fees or other fees, charges or expenses and such beneficiary may factor such fees, charges, or expenses into the pricing of any interest rate protection or hedging arrangement or transaction supported by the Swap Related L/C.

(e) If any Swap Related L/C is revocable prior to its scheduled expiry date, GE Capital agrees not to revoke the Swap Related L/C unless the Commitment Termination Date or an Event of Default has occurred.

(f) GE Capital or any of its Affiliates shall be permitted to (i) provide confidential or other information furnished to it by any of the Credit Parties (including, without limitation, copies of any documents and information in or referred to in the Closing Checklist, Financial Statements and Compliance Certificates) to a beneficiary or potential beneficiary of a Swap Related L/C and (ii) receive confidential or other information from the beneficiary or potential beneficiary relating to any agreement or transaction supported or to be supported by the Swap Related L/C. However, no confidential information shall be provided to any Person under this paragraph unless the Person has agreed to comply with the covenant substantially as contained in Section 11.8.

1.3 Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments; Reductions in Revolving Loan Commitments. Borrowers may at any time pursuant to written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing by telecopy or overnight delivery) by Borrower Representative to Agent (i) voluntarily prepay, without penalty or premium, all or part of the Revolving Loans and/or (ii) permanently reduce (but not terminate) the Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that (A) any such prepayments or reductions shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of such amount (unless the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans immediately prior to such reduction is less than $500,000 or any such integral multiple, in which case the prepayment shall be in the entire amount of such outstanding principal balance), (B) the Revolving Loan Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount less than the greater of (i) the amount of the Revolving Loan then outstanding and (ii) $75,000,000, and (C) after giving effect to such reductions, Borrowers shall comply with Section 1.3(b)(i). Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Borrowers may, without penalty or premium except as set forth in the GE Capital Fee Letter, at any time on at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice by Borrower Representative to Agent terminate the Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that upon such termination, all Loans and other non-contingent Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full and all Letter of Credit Obligations shall be cash collateralized or otherwise satisfied in accordance with Annex B. Any voluntary prepayment and any reduction or termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment must be accompanied by payment of the Fees required by the GE Capital Fee Letter, if any, plus the payment of any LIBOR funding breakage costs in accordance with Section 1.13(b). Upon any such reduction or termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment, each Borrower’s right to request Revolving Credit Advances, or request that Letter of Credit Obligations be incurred on its behalf, or request Swing Line Advances or Export-Related Advances, shall simultaneously be permanently reduced or terminated, as the case may be; provided that a permanent reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment shall not require a corresponding pro rata reduction in the L/C Sublimit. Each notice of partial prepayment shall designate the Loans or other Obligations to which such prepayment is to be applied.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) If at any time the aggregate outstanding balances of the Revolving Loan plus the Export-Related Loan exceed the lesser of (A) the Maximum Amount and (B) the sum of the Aggregate Borrowing Base plus the Maximum Overadvance Amount, Borrowers shall immediately repay the aggregate outstanding Permitted Overadvances to the extent required to eliminate such excess. If any such excess remains after repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Permitted Overadvances, Borrowers shall immediately repay the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Advances to the extent required to eliminate such excess. If any such excess remains after repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Permitted Overadvances and Revolving Credit Advances, Borrowers shall immediately repay the aggregate outstanding Export-Related Advances to the extent required to eliminate such excess.

9

If any such excess remains after repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Permitted Overadvances, Revolving Credit Advances and Export-Related Loans, Borrowers shall provide cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Annex B to the extent required to eliminate such excess. If no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or a portion of such cash collateral shall be returned to Borrowers at such time as the aggregate outstanding balances of the Revolving Loan plus the Export-Related Loan no longer exceed the lesser of (A) the Maximum Amount and (B) the sum of the Aggregate Borrowing Base plus the Maximum Overadvance Amount. If on any day the outstanding balance of the Export-Related Loan exceeds the lesser of (A) the Export-Related Loan Commitment and (B) the Export-Related Borrowing Base, Borrowers shall on such day repay the aggregate outstanding Export-Related Advances to the extent required to eliminate such excess.

(ii) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Senior Secured Notes Indenture (as in effect on the Closing Date or as amended in accordance with the terms hereof), upon receipt by any Credit Party of any Net Cash Proceeds of any asset Disposition, Borrowers shall promptly (and, in no event, later than one (1) Business Day after any such Disposition) prepay the Loans in an amount equal to all such Net Cash Proceeds. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.3(c). The following shall not be subject to mandatory prepayment under this clause (ii): (1) Net Cash Proceeds from asset Dispositions of less than $5,000,000 in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement, (2) Net Cash Proceeds from asset Dispositions that are reinvested in Equipment, Fixtures, real property or other assets useful in the businesses of the Credit Parties within one year following receipt thereof (the “Permitted Reinvestment Period”) or are committed in writing to be invested in Equipment, Fixtures, real property or other assets useful in the businesses of the Credit Parties within the Permitted Reinvestment period to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are actually reinvested within six months of the expiration of the Permitted Reinvestment Period; provided that such Borrower notifies Agent of its intent to reinvest within 60 days of the time such proceeds are received and when such reinvestment occurs and (3) Net Cash Proceeds which, with the prior approval of Agent and the Requisite Lenders, are applied by a Credit Party to pay contributions to an Employee Plan which is subject to Title IV of ERISA, including any contributions not currently required under Section 412 of the IRC that are made for future funding purposes; provided that the Credit Party notifies Agent of its intent to make such contributions within 60 days before the time such contributions occur.

(iii) If Parent issues Stock, or if any Credit Party issues any Indebtedness that is not otherwise permitted hereunder, no later than the Business Day following the date of receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof, Parent shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to all such Net Cash Proceeds. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.3(c).

(c) Application of Certain Mandatory Prepayments. Subject to Section 1.11, any prepayments made by any Borrower pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(ii) or (b)(iii) above shall be applied as follows: first, to Fees and reimbursable expenses of Agent then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, until the same has been paid in full; second, to interest then due and payable on any Permitted Overadvance, until the same has been paid in full; third, to the principal balance of any Permitted Overadvance outstanding, until the same has been repaid in full; fourth, to interest then due and payable on Swing Line Loans, until the same has been paid in full; fifth, to the principal balance of the Swing Line Loan outstanding, until the same has been repaid in full; sixth, to interest then due and payable on Revolving Credit Advances, until the same has been paid in full; seventh, to the principal balance of Revolving Credit Advances outstanding, until the same has been repaid in full; eighth, to interest then due and payable on the Export-Related Loan, until the same has been paid in full; and last, to the principal balance of Export-Related Advances outstanding, until the same has been repaid in full. None of the Revolving Loan Commitment, the Export-Related Loan Commitment or the Swing Line Commitment shall be permanently reduced by the amount of any such payments.

10

(d) Application of Prepayments from Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds. Prepayments from Net Cash Proceeds of insurance or condemnation events in accordance with Section 5.7 and the Mortgage(s), respectively, shall be applied, first, to the Permitted Overadvances, second, to the Swing Line Loans, third, to the Revolving Credit Advances, and last, to the Export-Related Advances; provided, that prior to the Discharge of Term Obligations, proceeds of Senior Secured Priority Collateral to the extent payable to the holders of the Senior Secured Notes or to be held as Senior Secured Priority Collateral or otherwise shall be applied, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Senior Secured Notes Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement, providedfurther that (1) the Borrower Representative shall certify to Agent that all such proceeds of Senior Secured Priority Collateral have been deposited into a Senior Secured Priority Account in accordance with Section 5.20 and otherwise as required by the Senior Secured Notes Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Loan Documents and (2) the Borrower Representative shall notify Agent in accordance with Section 5.20 prior to any withdrawal from or deposits to any such account. None of the Revolving Loan Commitment, Export-Related Loan Commitment or the Swing Line Loan Commitment shall be permanently reduced by the amount of any such prepayments.

(e) No Implied Consent. Nothing in this Section 1.3 shall be construed to constitute Agent’s or any Lender’s consent to any transaction that is not permitted by other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

1.4 Use of Proceeds. Borrowers shall utilize the proceeds of the Loans solely for the Refinancing (and to pay any related transaction fees and expenses), and for the financing of Borrowers’ working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. Schedule (1.4) contains a description of Borrowers’ sources and uses of funds as of the Closing Date, including Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations to be made or incurred on that date, and a funds flow memorandum detailing how funds from each source are to be transferred to particular uses.

1.5 Interest and Applicable Margins.

(a) Borrowers shall pay interest to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders in accordance with the various Loans being made by each Lender, in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date, at the following rates: (i) with respect to the Revolving Credit Advances, the Index Rate plus the Applicable Revolver Index Margin per annum or, at the election of Borrower Representative, the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin per annum; (ii) with respect to the Export-Related Advances, the Index Rate plus the Applicable Export-Related Index Margin per annum or, at the election of Borrower Representative, the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Export-Related LIBOR Margin per annum; (iii) with respect to the Permitted Overadvance, the Index Rate plus the Applicable Overadvance Loan Index Margin per annum or, at the election of Borrower Representative, the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Overadvance Loan LIBOR Margin per annum; and (iv) with respect to the Swing Line Loan, the Index Rate plus the Applicable Revolver Index Margin per annum.

Adjustments in the Applicable Margins shall commence with the delivery of the first Borrowing Base Certificate after the Closing Date, and thereafter shall be adjusted upon delivery of the Borrowing Base Certificate as of the end of each Fiscal Quarter, any such adjustment shall be implemented quarterly, on a prospective basis, for each Fiscal Quarter commencing five (5) days after the date of delivery to Agent of the applicable Borrowing Base Certificate evidencing the need for an adjustment. Failure to deliver such Borrowing Base Certificate within five (5) Business Days after the date such Borrowing Base Certificate was required to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.1(b) and Annex F shall, in addition to any other remedy provided for in this Agreement, result in an increase in the Applicable Margins to the highest level set forth in the foregoing grid from the day next succeeding such fifth Business Day until the date that is five (5) Business Days after delivery of a Borrowing Base Certificate demonstrating that such an increase is not required. In the event that the information contained in any Borrowing Base Certificate is shown by Agent to Borrower Representative to be inaccurate or if Borrower Representative shall become aware of any inaccuracy, and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of higher Applicable Margins for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margins actually applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) Borrowers shall promptly (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days) deliver to Agent a correct Borrowing Base Certificate for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Margins shall be re-determined by Agent based on the corrected Borrowing Base Certificate in accordance with the foregoing grid for such Applicable Period, and (iii) Borrowers shall promptly following receipt of such re-determination (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days after such receipt) deliver to Agent full payment in respect of the accrued additional interest on the Loans as a result of any such increased Applicable Margins for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by Agent in accordance with Section 1.11 (it being understood that this Section 1.5(a) shall in no way limit the rights of Agent and the Lenders to exercise their rights under Section 1.5(d) or Section 8.2; provided, however, Agent and Lenders agree that they shall not implement the Default Rate for such Applicable Period if the implementation of such Default Rate is permitted solely because of the inaccuracy in the information contained in such Borrowing Base Certificate). If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time any reduction in the Applicable Margins is to be implemented, that reduction shall be deferred until the first day of the first calendar month following the date on which such Event of Default is waived or cured.

(b) If any payment on any Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (except as set forth in the definition of LIBOR Period) and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

13

(c) All computations of Fees calculated on a per annum basis and interest shall be made by Agent on the basis of a 360-day year (except that Loans that bear interest based on the Index Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year), in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest and Fees are payable. The Index Rate is a floating rate determined for each day. Each determination by Agent of an interest rate and Fees hereunder shall be presumptive evidence of the correctness of such rates and Fees.

(d) So long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 8.1(a) with respect to any payment of principal or interest, Section 8.1(i) or Section 8.1(j) or so long as any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and at the election of Agent (or upon the written request of Requisite Lenders) confirmed by written notice from Agent to Borrower Representative, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the interest rates applicable to the Loans and the Letter of Credit Fees shall be increased by two percentage points (2%) per annum above the rates of interest or the rate of such Fees otherwise applicable hereunder unless Agent or Requisite Lenders elect to impose a smaller increase (the “Default Rate”), and all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable to such Obligations. Interest and Letter of Credit Fees at the Default Rate shall accrue from the initial date of such Event of Default until that Event of Default is cured or waived (or such notice is rescinded) and shall be payable upon demand.

(e) Borrower Representative shall have the option to (i) request that any Revolving Credit Advance be made as a LIBOR Loan, (ii) convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Loans (other than the Swing Line Loan) from Index Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans, (iii) convert any LIBOR Loan to an Index Rate Loan subject to payment of LIBOR breakage costs in accordance with Section 1.13(b) if such conversion is made prior to the expiration of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto, or (iv) continue all or any portion of any Loan (other than the Swing Line Loan) as a LIBOR Loan upon the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Period, and the succeeding LIBOR Period of that continued Loan shall commence on the first day after the last day of the LIBOR Period of the Loan to be continued. Any Loan or group of Loans having the same proposed LIBOR Period to be made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Loan must be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of such amount. Any such election must be made by noon (New York time)on the third Business Day prior to (1) the date of any proposed Advance which is to bear interest at the LIBOR Rate, (2) the end of each LIBOR Period with respect to any LIBOR Loans to be continued as such, or (3) the date on which Borrower Representative wishes to convert any Index Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan for a LIBOR Period designated by Borrower Representative in such election. If no election is received with respect to a LIBOR Loan by noon (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the end of the LIBOR Period with respect thereto (or if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), that LIBOR Loan shall be converted to an Index Rate Loan at the end of its LIBOR Period. Any election to convert any LIBOR Loan or portion thereof into an Index Rate Loan must be made by noon (New York time) on the day of the proposed conversion. Borrower Representative must make all such elections by notice to Agent in writing, by telecopy or overnight courier. In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.5(e).

14

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Interest Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or intentionally omitted by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Interest Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Interest Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Interest Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

1.6 Eligible Accounts. All of the Accounts owned by each Borrower Party (other than Export-Related Accounts) and reflected in the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by Borrower Representative, on behalf of itself and each other Borrower Party, to Agent shall be “Eligible Accounts” for purposes of this Agreement, except any Account to which any of the exclusionary criteria set forth below applies.

1.11 Application and Allocation of Payments.

(a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) payments consisting of proceeds of Accounts (other than Export-Related Accounts) received in the ordinary course of business shall be applied, first, to the Permitted Overadvance, second, to the Swing Line Loan, third, the Revolving Loan; and fourth, to the Export-Related Advances, (ii) payments consisting of proceeds of Export-Related Accounts received in the ordinary course of business shall be applied, first, to the Export-Related Advances, second, to the Permitted Overadvance, third, to the Swing Line Loan, fourth, the Revolving Loan; (iii) payments matching specific scheduled payments then due shall be applied to those scheduled payments; (iv) voluntary prepayments shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.3(a); and (v) mandatory prepayments shall be applied as set forth in Sections 1.3(c) and 1.3(d). All payments and prepayments applied to a particular Loan shall be applied ratably to the portion thereof held by each Lender as determined by its Pro Rata Share. Any other payment shall be applied as directed by the Borrower Representative. As to all payments made when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or following the Commitment Termination Date, each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments received from or on behalf of such Borrower, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply any and all such payments against the Obligations of Borrowers as Agent may deem advisable notwithstanding any previous entry by Agent in the Loan Account or any other books and records; provided, that (i) Agent shall apply payments first to amounts that are then due and payable and (ii) to the extent any payment received by Agent following an Event of Default is applied (x) to interest on the Loans (other than the Swing Line Loan), a pro rata portion of such payment shall be applied to interest on Swap Related Reimbursement Obligations based upon the aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof, and (y) to principal on the Loans (other than the Swing Line Loan), a pro rata portion of such payment shall be applied to unpaid Swap Related Reimbursement Obligations based upon the aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof.

22

(b) Agent is authorized to, and at its sole election may, charge to the Revolving Loan balance on behalf of each Borrower and cause to be paid all Fees, expenses, Charges, costs (including insurance premiums in accordance with Section 5.7) and interest and principal, other than principal of the Revolving Loan, owing by Borrowers under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents if and to the extent Borrowers fail to pay promptly any such amounts as and when due, even if the amount of such charges would exceed the Aggregate Borrowing Availability at such time. At Agent’s option and to the extent permitted by law, any charges so made shall constitute part of the Revolving Loan hereunder. Agent will give Borrower Representative notice of any such charge promptly after such charge is made.

1.12 Loan Account and Accounting. Agent shall maintain a loan account (the “Loan Account”) on its books to record: all Advances, all payments made by Borrowers, and all other debits and credits as provided in this Agreement with respect to the Loans or any other Obligations. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with Agent’s customary accounting practices as in effect from time to time. The balance in the Loan Account, as recorded on Agent’s most recent printout or other written statement, shall, absent manifest error, be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Agent and Lenders by each Borrower; provided that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect any Borrower’s duty to pay the Obligations. Agent shall render to Borrower Representative a monthly accounting of transactions with respect to the Loans setting forth the balance of the Loan Account as to each Borrower for the immediately preceding month. Unless Borrower Representative notifies Agent in writing of any objection to any such accounting (specifically describing the basis for such objection), within thirty (30) days after the date thereof, each and every such accounting shall be presumptive evidence of all matters reflected therein. Only those items expressly objected to in such notice shall be deemed to be disputed by Borrowers.

23

1.13 Indemnity.

(a) Each Credit Party that is a signatory hereto shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each of Agent, Lenders and their respective Affiliates, and each such Person’s respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, advisors (financial or otherwise), agents and representatives (each, an “Indemnified Person”), from and against any and all suits, actions, proceedings, claims, damages, losses, liabilities and related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other costs of investigation or defense, including those incurred upon any appeal) that may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person as the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the administration of such credit, and in connection with or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder and any actions or failures to act in connection therewith, including any and all Environmental Liabilities (collectively, “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, that no such Credit Party shall be liable for any indemnification to an Indemnified Person to the extent that any such suit, action, proceeding, claim, damage, loss, liability or expense, including any and all Environmental Liabilities, results from that Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OF SUCH PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

(b) To induce Lenders to provide the LIBOR Rate option on the terms provided herein, if (i) any LIBOR Loans are repaid in whole or in part prior to the last day of any applicable LIBOR Period (whether that repayment is made pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or occurs as a result of acceleration, by operation of law or otherwise); (ii) any Borrower shall refuse to accept any borrowing of, or shall request a termination of, any borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of, LIBOR Loans after Borrower Representative has given notice requesting the same in accordance herewith; or (iii) any Borrower shall fail to make any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan after Borrower Representative has given a notice thereof in accordance herewith, then Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Lender from and against all losses, costs and expenses (excluding loss of margin) resulting from or arising from any of the foregoing. Such indemnification shall include any loss (excluding loss of margin) or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate deposits from which such funds were obtained. For the purpose of calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this subsection, each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that LIBOR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant LIBOR Period; provided, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. As promptly as practicable under the circumstances, each Lender shall provide Borrower Representative with its written calculation of all amounts payable pursuant to this Section 1.13(b), and such calculation shall be binding on the parties hereto unless Borrower Representative shall object in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receipt thereof, specifying the basis for such objection in detail.

24

1.14 Intentionally Omitted.

1.15 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by each Borrower hereunder (including any payments made pursuant to Section 12) or under the Notes shall be made, in accordance with this Section 1.15, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes. If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder (including any sum payable pursuant to Section 12) or under the Notes, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as much as shall be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 1.15) Agent or Lenders, as applicable, receive an amount equal to the sum they would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, Borrower Representative shall furnish to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(b) Each Credit Party that is a signatory hereto shall jointly and severally indemnify and, within ten (10) days of demand therefore, pay Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes (including any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 1.15) paid by Agent or such Lender, as appropriate, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.

(c) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (a “Foreign Lender”) as to which payments to be made under this Agreement or under the Notes are exempt from United States withholding tax under an applicable statute or tax treaty shall provide to Borrower Representative and Agent a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS or the United States certifying as to such Foreign Lender’s entitlement to such exemption (a “Certificate of Exemption”). Any foreign Person that seeks to become a Lender under this Agreement shall provide a Certificate of Exemption to Borrower Representative and Agent prior to becoming a Lender hereunder. No foreign Person may become a Lender hereunder if such Person fails to deliver a Certificate of Exemption in advance of becoming a Lender.

(d) If Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrowers or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 1.15, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it shall pay over such refund to Borrowers (but only to the extent of payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrowers under this Section 1.15 with respect to Taxes giving rise to such a refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such a refund); provided, that Borrowers, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges, imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority, other than such penalties, interest or other charges imposed as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Agent hereunder) to Agent or Lender in the event Agent or Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Except as expressly provided for in this Section 1.15, this Section shall not be construed to require Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

25

1.16 Capital Adequacy; Increased Costs; Illegality.

(a) If any law, treaty, governmental (or quasi-governmental) rule, regulation, guideline or order regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law), in each case, adopted after the Closing Date, from any central bank or other Governmental Authority increases or would have the effect of increasing the amount of capital, reserves or other funds required to be maintained by such Lender and thereby reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, then Borrowers shall from time to time upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to Agent) pay to Agent, for the account of such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction. Any such demand shall be accompanied by a certificate as to the amount of that reduction, showing the basis of the computation thereof, submitted by such Lender to Borrower Representative and to Agent, and shall be presumptive evidence of the matters set forth therein.

(b) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in any law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation thereof) or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case adopted after the Closing Date, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loan, then Borrowers shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to Agent), pay to Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. Any such demand shall be accompanied by a certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to Borrower Representative and to Agent by such Lender, and shall be presumptive evidence of the matters set forth therein. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of any circumstances referred to above which would result in any such increased cost, the affected Lender shall, to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender’s internal policies of general application, use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize costs and expenses incurred by it and payable to it by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 1.16(b).

26

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the introduction of or any change in any law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation thereof) shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Loan, then, unless that Lender is able to make or to continue to fund or to maintain such LIBOR Loan at another branch or office of that Lender without, in that Lender’s reasonable opinion, materially adversely affecting it or its Loans or the income obtained therefrom, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to Borrower Representative through Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Loans shall terminate and (ii) each Borrower shall forthwith prepay in full all outstanding LIBOR Loans owing by such Borrower to such Lender, together with interest accrued thereon, unless Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower, within five (5) Business Days after the delivery of such notice and demand, converts all LIBOR Loans into Index Rate Loans.

(d) Within thirty (30) days after receipt by Borrower Representative of written notice and demand from any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) for payment of additional amounts or increased costs as provided in Section 1.15(a), 1.16(a) or 1.16(b), Borrower Representative may, at its option, notify Agent and such Affected Lender of its intention to replace the Affected Lender. Borrower Representative, with the consent of Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), may obtain, at Borrowers’ expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for the Affected Lender, which Replacement Lender must be reasonably satisfactory to Agent. If Borrowers obtain a Replacement Lender, the Affected Lender must sell and assign its Loans and Commitments to such Replacement Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by the Affected Lender and all accrued interest and Fees with respect thereto through the date of such sale and such assignment shall not require the payment of an assignment fee to Agent; provided, that Borrowers shall have reimbursed such Affected Lender for the additional amounts or increased costs that it is entitled to receive under this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 1.15(a), 1.16(a) or 1.16(b), no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies such Borrower of the change in law or regulation giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefore; provided, however, that if the change in law or regulation (or any interpretation thereof) giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then such 180-day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

1.17 Single Loan. All Loans to each Borrower and all of the other Obligations of each Borrower arising under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall constitute one general obligation of that Borrower secured, until the Termination Date, by all of the Collateral.

9.  ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATIONS; APPOINTMENT OF AGENT

9.1 Assignment and Participations.

(a) Subject to the terms of this Section 9.1, any Lender may make an assignment of, or sell participations in, at any time or times, the Loan Documents, Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and any Commitment or any portion thereof or interest therein, including any Lender’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers or duties thereunder. Any assignment by a Lender (other than to an Affiliate of such Lender) shall: (i) require the consent of Agent and (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the execution of an assignment agreement (an “Assignment Agreement”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 9.1(a) and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, and acknowledged by, Agent; (ii) be conditioned on such assignee Lender representing to the assigning Lender and Agent that it is purchasing the applicable Loans to be assigned to it for its own account, for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof; (iii) after giving effect to any such partial assignment, the assignee Lender shall have Commitments in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 and the assigning Lender shall have retained Commitments in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000; (iv) include a payment to Agent of an assignment fee of $3,500; and (v) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, require the consent of Borrower Representative, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the case of an assignment by a Lender under this Section 9.1, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as all other Lenders hereunder. The assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its Commitments or assigned portion thereof from and after the date of such assignment. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment shall give rise to a direct obligation of Borrowers to the assignee and that the assignee shall be considered to be a “Lender”. In all instances, each Lender’s liability to make Loans hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Commitment. In the event Agent or any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers all or any part of the Obligations, Agent or any such Lender shall so notify Borrowers and Borrowers shall, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, execute new Notes in exchange for the Notes, if any, being assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.1(a), any Lender may at any time pledge the Obligations held by it and such Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank, and any Lender that is an investment fund may assign the Obligations held by it and such Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to another investment fund managed by the same investment advisor; provided, that no such pledge to a Federal Reserve Bank shall release such Lender from such Lender’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

67

(b) Any participation by a Lender of all or any part of its Commitments shall be made with the understanding that all amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if that Lender had not sold such participation, and that the holder of any such participation shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except actions directly affecting (i) any reduction in the principal amount of, or interest rate or Fees payable with respect to, any Loan in which such holder participates, (ii) any extension of the scheduled amortization of the principal amount of any Loan in which such holder participates or the final maturity date thereof, and (iii) any release of all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or the other Loan Documents). Solely for purposes of Sections 1.13, 1.15, 1.16 and 9.8, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that a participation shall give rise to a direct obligation of Borrowers to the participant and the participant shall be considered to be a “Lender”; provided, (i) a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 1.13, 1.15, 1.16 or 9.8 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, and such participant must comply with the provisions of Sections 1.13, 1.15, 1.16 and 9.8 as though it were a Lender and (ii) a participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 1.15(c) unless Borrower Representative is notified of the participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrowers, to comply with Section 1.15(c) as though it were a Lender. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence no Borrower or Credit Party shall have any obligation or duty to any participant. Neither Agent nor any Lender (other than the Lender selling a participation) shall have any duty to any participant and may continue to deal solely with the Lender selling a participation as if no such sale had occurred.

(c) Except as expressly provided in this Section 9.1, no Lender shall, as between Borrowers and that Lender, or Agent and that Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or granting of participation in, all or any part of the Loans, the Notes or other Obligations owed to such Lender.

(d) If GE Capital should seek a primary syndication of the Loans and Commitments under this Agreement to Lenders reasonably acceptable to Borrowers, then at the request of GE Capital, Borrower Representative agrees to actively assist, and cooperate with (and cause its Subsidiaries and use reasonable efforts to cause Borrower Representative’s advisors to actively assist and cooperate with), GE Capital in effecting and completing such syndication, including, participating in bank and other relevant meetings, preparing and providing to GE Capital information relating to the syndication reasonably requested by GE Capital, using commercially reasonable efforts to use its existing banking relationships to assist with GE Capital’s syndication efforts, and assisting GE Capital in the preparation of a confidential information memorandum, presentations and other offering materials to be used in connection with the syndication and confirming that all materials made available to GE Capital by Borrower Representative or any of its representatives, taken as a whole and after giving effect to all written updates thereto, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made. GE Capital will, in consultation with Borrower Representative, manage and control all aspects of any such syndication.

68

(e) Any Lender may furnish any information concerning Credit Parties in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants); provided that such Lender shall obtain from assignees or participants confidentiality covenants substantially equivalent to those contained in Section 11.8.

(f) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Lender shall assign or sell participations in any portion of its Loans or Commitments to a potential Lender or participant, if, as of the date of the proposed assignment or sale, the assignee Lender or participant would be subject to capital adequacy or similar requirements under Section 1.16(a), increased costs under Section 1.16(b), an inability to fund LIBOR Loans under Section 1.16(c), or withholding taxes in accordance with Section 1.15(a).

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”), may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing by the Granting Lender to Agent and Borrowers, the option to provide to Borrowers all or any part of any Loans that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan; and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. No SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). Any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, Borrowers and Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by Borrowers and Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This Section 9.1(g) may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting Lender, all or any of whose Loans are being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including without limitation, the approval of any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or the obligation to pay any amount otherwise payable by the Granting Lender under the Loan Documents, continue to be the Lender of record hereunder.

69

(h) Nothing contained in this Section 9 shall require the consent of any party for GE Capital to assign any of its rights in respect of any Swap Related Reimbursement Obligation.

9.2 Appointment of Agent. GE Capital is hereby appointed to act on behalf of all Lenders as Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 9.2 are solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and no Credit Party nor any other Person shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Agent shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Credit Party or any other Person. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except for those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature and Agent shall not have, or be deemed to have, by reason of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any Account Debtor that is communicated to or obtained by GE Capital or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for damages caused by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

If Agent shall request instructions from Requisite Lenders, Requisite Revolving Lenders or all affected Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from Requisite Lenders, Requisite Revolving Lenders or all affected Lenders, as the case may be, and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (a) if such action would, in the opinion of Agent, be contrary to law or the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b) if such action would, in the reasonable opinion of Agent, expose Agent to Environmental Liabilities or (c) if Agent shall not first be indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders, Requisite Revolving Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable.

9.3     Agent’s Reliance, Etc.  Neither Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for damages caused by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent; (b) may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any Credit Party or to inspect the Collateral (including the books and records) of any Credit Party; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopy, telegram, cable or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

70

9.4GE Capital and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitments hereunder, GE Capital shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include GE Capital in its individual capacity. GE Capital and its Affiliates may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Credit Party, any of their Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of any Credit Party or any such Affiliate, all as if GE Capital were not Agent and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. GE Capital and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest between GE Capital as a Lender holding disproportionate interests in the Loans and GE Capital as Agent.

9.5Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender and based on the Financial Statements referred to in Section 3.7 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and financial analysis of the Credit Parties and its own decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Each Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest of each other Lender as a result of Lenders holding disproportionate interests in the Loans, and expressly consents to, and waives any claim based upon, such conflict of interest.

9.6Indemnification. Lenders agree to indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Credit Parties and without limiting the obligations of Credit Parties hereunder), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent in connection therewith; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and each other Loan Document, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by Credit Parties.

71

9.7Successor Agent. Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower Representative. Upon giving such notice of resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the resigning Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the resigning Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender, if a Lender is willing to accept such appointment, or otherwise shall be a commercial bank or financial institution or a subsidiary of a commercial bank or financial institution if such commercial bank or financial institution is organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $300,000,000. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date such notice of resignation was given by the resigning Agent, such resignation shall become effective and the Requisite Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. Any successor Agent appointed by Requisite Lenders or the resigning Agent hereunder shall be subject to the approval of Borrower Representative, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such approval shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Agent. Upon the earlier of the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent or the effective date of the resigning Agent’s resignation, the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except that any indemnity rights or other rights in favor of such resigning Agent shall continue. After any resigning Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

9.8Setoff and Sharing of Payments. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and subject to Section 9.9(f), each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without prior notice to any Credit Party or to any Person other than Agent, (any such notice being hereby expressly waived), and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to offset and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at any of its offices for the account of any Borrower or Guarantor (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Borrower or Guarantor) and any other properties or assets at any time held or owing by that Lender or that holder to or for the credit or for the account of any Borrower or Guarantor against and on account of any of the Obligations that are not paid when due; provided that the Lender exercising such offset rights shall give notice thereof to the affected Credit Party promptly after exercising such rights. Any Lender exercising a right of setoff or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender’s or holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount so offset or otherwise received with each other Lender or holder in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (other than offset rights exercised by any Lender with respect to Section 1.13, 1.15 or 1.16). Each Lender’s obligation under this Section 9.8 shall be in addition to and not in limitation of its obligations to purchase a participation in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Swing Line Loans under Section 1.1(c). and to purchase a participation in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share (based on Revolving Loan Commitments) of the Export-Related Loan under Section 1.1(d). Each Credit Party that is a Borrower or Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (a) any Lender may exercise its right to offset with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and may sell participations in such amounts so offset to other Lenders and holders and (b) any Lender so purchasing a participation in the Loans made or other Obligations held by other Lenders or holders may exercise all rights of offset, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or holder were a direct holder of the Loans and the other Obligations in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the offset amount or payment otherwise received is thereafter recovered from the Lender that has exercised the right of offset, the purchase of participations by that Lender shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored without interest.

72

9.9Advances; Payments; Non-Funding Lenders; Information; Actions in Concert.

(a)Advances; Payments.

(i)Revolving Lenders shall refund or participate in the Swing Line Loan in accordance with clauses (iii) and (iv) of Section 1.1(c). If the Swing Line Lender declines to make a Swing Line Loan or if Swing Line Availability is zero, Agent shall notify Revolving Lenders, promptly after receipt of a Notice of Revolving Credit Advance and in any event prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date such Notice of Revolving Advance is received, by telecopy, telephone or other similar form of transmission. Each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Credit Advance available to Agent in same day funds by wire transfer to Agent’s account as set forth in Annex H not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested funding date, in the case of an Index Rate Loan, and not later than noon (New York time) on the requested funding date, in the case of a LIBOR Loan. After receipt of such wire transfers (or, in Agent’s sole discretion, before receipt of such wire transfers), subject to the terms hereof, Agent shall make the requested Revolving Credit Advance to Borrower designated by Borrower Representative in the Notice of Revolving Credit Advance. All payments by each Revolving Lender shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

73

(ii)Not less than once during each calendar week or more frequently at Agent’s election (each, a “Settlement Date”), Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone, or telecopy of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees paid for the benefit of Lenders with respect to each applicable Loan. Provided that each Lender has funded all payments or Advances required to be made by it and has purchased all participations required to be purchased by it under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of such Settlement Date, Agent shall pay to each Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees paid by Borrowers since the previous Settlement Date for the benefit of such Lender on the Loans held by it. To the extent that any Lender (a “Non-Funding Lender”) has failed to fund all such payments and Advances or failed to fund the purchase of all such participations, Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding short-fall against that Non-Funding Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments received from Borrowers. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer to such Lender’s account (as specified by such Lender in Annex H or the applicable Assignment Agreement) not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the next Business Day following each Settlement Date.

(b)Availability of Lender’s Pro Rata Share. Agent may assume that each Revolving Lender will make its Pro Rata Share of each Revolving Credit Advance available to Agent on each funding date. If such Pro Rata Share is not, in fact, paid to Agent by such Revolving Lender when due, Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If any Revolving Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share forthwith upon Agent’s demand, Agent shall promptly notify Borrower Representative and Borrowers shall immediately repay such amount to Agent. Nothing in this Section 9.9(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Revolving Lender or to relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrowers may have against any Revolving Lender as a result of any default by such Revolving Lender hereunder. To the extent that Agent advances funds to any Borrower on behalf of any Revolving Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such Advance is made, Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such Advance until reimbursed by the applicable Revolving Lender.

(c)Return of Payments.

(i)If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Agent from Borrowers and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(ii)If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under this Agreement must be returned to any Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to any Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

74

(d)Non-Funding Lenders. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Advance or any payment required by it hereunder or to purchase any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Export-Related Loan to be made or purchased by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Revolving Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make such Advance or purchase such participation on such date, but neither any Other Lender nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make an Advance, purchase a participation or make any other payment required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” or a “Revolving Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Requisite Lenders” or “Requisite Revolving Lenders” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document. At Borrower Representative’s request, Agent, in Agent’s sole discretion (but without any obligation), or a Person reasonably acceptable to Agent shall have the right to purchase from any Non-Funding Lender, and each Non-Funding Lender agrees that it shall, at Borrower Representative’s request, sell and assign to Agent or such Person, as the case may be, all of the Commitments of that Non-Funding Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by such Non-Funding Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement.

(e)Dissemination of Information. Agent shall use reasonable efforts to provide Lenders with any notice of Default or Event of Default received by Agent from, or delivered by Agent to, any Credit Party, with notice of any Event of Default of which Agent has actually become aware and with notice of any action taken by Agent following any Event of Default; provided, that Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable to Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(f)Actions in Concert. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Notes (including exercising any rights of setoff) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agent and Requisite Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Notes shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Requisite Lenders.

9.10Quebec Security Documents.

(a)For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of Agent, or any other Person acting as an agent or mandatary for Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Documents, the Borrowers, the Credit Parties and the Canadian Borrowing Base Guarantors hereby acknowledge that, for purposes of holding any hypothecs and security granted by any of the Borrowers, Credit Parties or Canadian Borrowing Base Guarantors on property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure obligations of any of the Borrowers, Credit Parties or the Canadian Borrowing Base Guarantors under any debenture or bond issued by any of the Borrowers, Credit Parties or the Canadian Borrowing Base Guarantors, Agent shall be the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (“fondé de pouvoir”) (within the meaning of the Civil Code of Quebec) for the Lenders, any L/C Issuer or any of their Affiliates, and in particular for all present and future holders of any such debenture or bond. The Lenders, any L/C Issuer and any of their Affiliates hereby: (i) irrevocably constitute, to the extent necessary, Agent as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (“fondé de pouvoir”) (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) in order to hold hypothecs and security granted by the Borrowers, the Credit Parties and the Canadian Borrowing Base Guarantors on property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure the obligations of the Borrowers, the Credit Parties and the Canadian Borrowing Base Guarantors under any debenture or bond issued by the Borrowers, the Credit Parties and the Canadian Borrowing Base Guarantors; and (ii)  appoint and agree that Agent may act as the bondholder and mandatary (i.e. agent) with respect to any debenture or bond that may be issued by any of the Borrowers, Credit Parties or Canadian Borrowing Base Guarantors and pledged in its favour from time to time.

75

(b)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of An Act respecting thespecial powers of legal persons (Quebec), Agent may acquire and be the holder of any debenture or bond issued by any of the Borrowers, Credit Parties or Canadian Borrowing Base Guarantors (i.e. the “fondé de pouvoir” may acquire and hold the first debenture or bond issued under any deed of hypothec by the Borrowers, the Credit Parties or the Canadian Borrowing Base Guarantors). The Borrowers, the Credit Parties and the Canadian Borrowing Base Guarantors hereby acknowledge that such debenture or bond constitutes a title of indebtedness, as such term is used in Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec.

(c)The constitution of Agent as “fondé de pouvoir” and as bondholder and mandatary with respect to any bond that may be issued and pledged from time to time to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, any L/C Issuer and any of their Affiliates, shall be deemed to have been ratified and confirmed by each Person accepting an assignment of, a participation in or an arrangement in respect of, all or any portion of an assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement by the execution of an assignment agreement, including an Assignment Agreement or other agreement pursuant to which it becomes such assignee or participant, and by each successor Agent by the execution of an Assignment Agreement or other agreement, or by the compliance with other formalities, as the case may be, pursuant to which it becomes a successor Agent under this Agreement.

(d)Agent, acting as “fondé de pouvoir” for the benefit of the Lenders, any L/C Issuer and any of their Affiliates, shall have the same rights, powers and immunities as Agent as stipulated herein, including under this Section 9, which shall apply mutatis mutandis. Without limitation, the provisions of Section 9.7 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the resignation and appointment of a successor Agent acting as “fondé de pouvoir”.

76

(e)Agent, acting as bondholder, shall have the same rights, powers and immunities as Agent as stipulated herein, including under this Section 9, which shall apply mutatis mutandis. Without limitation, the provisions of Section 9.7 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the resignation and appointment of a successor Agent acting as bondholder and mandatary for the benefit of the Lenders, any L/C Issuer and any of their Affiliates.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of each Credit Party, Agent, Lenders and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including, in the case of any Credit Party, a debtor-in-possession on behalf of such Credit Party), except as otherwise provided herein or therein. No Credit Party may assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey its rights, benefits, obligations or duties hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents without the prior express written consent of Agent and Lenders. Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other conveyance by any Credit Party without the prior express written consent of Agent and Lenders shall be void.

80

11.7Conflict of Terms. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by specific reference to the applicable provisions of this Agreement, if any provision contained in this Agreement conflicts with any provision in any of the other Loan Documents, the provision contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.

11.9GOVERNING LAW.  EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN THAT STATE AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY, CITY OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK SHALL HAVE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THE CREDIT PARTIES, AGENT AND LENDERS PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; PROVIDED FURTHER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE AGENT FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF AGENT. EACH CREDIT PARTY EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH CREDIT PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM  NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT.

11.13WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AMONG AGENT, LENDERS AND ANY CREDIT PARTY ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO.

83

       11.14Press Releases and Related Matters.  Each Credit Party executing this Agreement agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the name of GE Capital or its affiliates or referring to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Related Transactions Documents without at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to GE Capital and without the prior written consent of GE Capital (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless (and only to the extent that) such Credit Party or Affiliate is required to do so under law or the requirements of any securities exchange and then, in any event, such Credit Party or Affiliate will consult with GE Capital before issuing such press release or other public disclosure. With at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to Borrower Representative and subject to Borrower Representative’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Agent or any Lender may publish advertising materials relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using Borrowers’ name, product photographs, logo or trademark. Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.

11.15Reinstatement.  This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Credit Party for liquidation or reorganization, should any Credit Party become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Credit Party’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or to be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

11.16Advice of Counsel.  Each of the parties represents to each other party hereto that it has discussed this Agreement and, specifically, the provisions of Sections 11.9 and 11.13, with its counsel.

11.17No Strict Construction.  The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

12.CROSS-GUARANTY

12.1Cross-Guaranty.   Each Borrower hereby agrees that such Borrower is jointly and severally liable for, and hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Agent and Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Obligations owed or hereafter owing to Agent and Lenders by each other Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that its obligations under this Section 12 shall not be discharged until payment and performance, in full, of the Obligations has occurred, and that its obligations under this Section 12 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by,

84

(a)the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Borrower is or may become a party;

(b)the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 12) or any other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by Agent and Lenders with respect to any of the provisions thereof;

(c)the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any security for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent and Lenders in respect thereof (including the release of any such security);

(d)the insolvency of any Credit Party; or

(e)any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.

Each Borrower shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Obligations guaranteed hereunder.

12.2Waivers by Borrowers.  To the extent permitted by law, each Borrower expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel Agent or Lenders to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder against any other Credit Party, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower, Agent and Lenders that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section 12 and such waivers, Agent and Lenders would decline to enter into this Agreement.

12.3Benefit of Guaranty.  Each Borrower agrees that the provisions of this Section 12 are for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Borrower and Agent or Lenders, the obligations of such other Borrower under the Loan Documents.

12.4Subrogation, Etc.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, and except as set forth in Section 12.7, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably agrees that it shall not exercise any of its rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and waives any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit Agent and Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 12, and that Agent, Lenders and their respective successors and permitted assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 12.4.

85

12.5Election of Remedies.  If Agent or any Lender may, under applicable law, proceed to realize its benefits under any of the Loan Documents giving Agent or such Lender a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by any Borrower or by any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, Agent or any Lender may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Section 12. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Borrower hereby consents to such action by Agent or such Lender and, to the extent permitted by law, waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Agent or such Lender shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that each Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action by Agent or such Lender. Any election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. In the event Agent or any Lender shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale permitted by law or the Loan Documents, Agent or such Lender may bid all or less than the amount of the Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Agent or such Lender but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Agent, Lender or any other party is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 12, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Agent or any Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

12.6Limitation.  Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability under this Section 12 (which liability is in any event in addition to amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable under Section 1) shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the greater of:

(a)the net amount of all Loans advanced to any other Borrower under this Agreement and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower; and

(b)the amount that could be claimed by Agent and Lenders from such Borrower under this Section 12 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law after taking into account, among other things, such Borrower’s right of contribution and indemnification from each other Borrower under Section 12.7.

86

12.7Contribution with Respect to Guaranty Obligations.

(a)To the extent that any Borrower shall make a payment under this Section 12 of all or any of the Obligations (other than Loans made to that Borrower for which it is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Borrower’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of Borrowers as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than contingent Obligations) and termination of the Commitments, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.

(b)As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 12 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.

(c)This Section 12.7 is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrowers and nothing set forth in this Section 12.7 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 12.1. Nothing contained in this Section 12.7 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower and accrued interest, Fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable.

(d)The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Borrower to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

(e)The rights of the indemnifying Borrowers against other Credit Parties under this Section 12.7 shall be exercisable upon the full payment in cash of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.

12.8Liability Cumulative.  The liability of Borrowers under this Section 12 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower to Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party or in respect of any Obligations or obligation of the other Borrower, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

ANNEX B (Section 1.2)

to

CREDIT AGREEMENT

LETTERS OF CREDIT

(a) Issuance. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Agent and Revolving Lenders agree to incur, from time to time prior to the Commitment Termination Date, upon the request of Borrower Representative on behalf of the applicable Borrower and for such Borrower’s account, Letter of Credit Obligations by causing Letters of Credit to be issued by GE Capital or a Subsidiary thereof or a bank or other legally authorized Person (each, an “L/C Issuer”) on terms acceptable to Agent and Borrowers for such Borrower’s account and guaranteed by Agent; provided, that if the L/C Issuer is a Revolving Lender, then such Letters of Credit shall not be guaranteed by Agent but rather each Revolving Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, purchase (or be deemed to have purchased) risk participations in all such Letters of Credit issued with the written consent of Agent, as more fully described in paragraph (b)(ii) below. The aggregate amount of all such Letter of Credit Obligations shall not at any time exceed the least of (i) Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) (the “L/C Sublimit”), (ii) the Maximum Amount less the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans and Export-Related Advances, and (iii) the Primary Borrowing Availability. No such Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date that is more than one year following the date of issuance thereof, unless otherwise determined by Agent, in its sole discretion (including with respect to customary evergreen provisions); provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for renewal thereof for an additional one-year period (which shall in no event extend beyond the Commitment Termination Date); provided, further, L/C Issuer may, and at the request of the Requisite Lenders shall, elect not to permit such renewal by giving 30 days' prior written notice to Borrower Representative and the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit of its intent not to renew such Letter of Credit. Neither Agent nor Revolving Lenders shall be under any obligation to incur Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of, or purchase risk participations in, any Letter of Credit having an expiry date that is later than the Commitment Termination Date.

(b)(i) Advances Automatic; Participations. In the event that Agent or any Revolving Lender shall make any payment on or pursuant to any Letter of Credit Obligation, such payment shall then be deemed automatically to constitute a Revolving Credit Advance to the applicable Borrower under Section 1.1(a) of the Agreement regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and notwithstanding any Borrower’s failure to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2, and each Revolving Lender shall be obligated to pay its Pro Rata Share thereof in accordance with the Agreement. The failure of any Revolving Lender to make available to Agent for Agent’s own account its Pro Rata Share of any such Revolving Credit Advance or payment by Agent under or in respect of a Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to Agent its Pro Rata Share thereof, but no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make available such other Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such payment.

B-1

(ii) If it shall be illegal or unlawful for any Borrower to incur Revolving Credit Advances as contemplated by paragraph (b)(i) above because of an Event of Default described in Section 8.1(i) or (j) or otherwise or if it shall be illegal or unlawful for any Revolving Lender to be deemed to have assumed a ratable share of the reimbursement obligations owed to an L/C Issuer, or if the L/C Issuer is a Revolving Lender, then (A) immediately and without further action whatsoever, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from Agent (or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be) an undivided interest and participation equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share (based on the Revolving Loan Commitments) of the Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of all Letters of Credit then outstanding and (B) thereafter, immediately upon issuance of any Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from Agent (or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be) an undivided interest and participation in such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share (based on the Revolving Loan Commitments) of the Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit on the date of such issuance. Each Revolving Lender shall fund its participation in all payments or disbursements made under the Letters of Credit in the same manner as provided in the Agreement with respect to Revolving Credit Advances.

(c) Cash Collateral.

(i) If Borrowers are required to provide cash collateral for any Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to the Agreement, including Section 8.2 of the Agreement, prior to the Commitment Termination Date, each Borrower will pay, promptly upon written notice of demand, to Agent for the ratable benefit of itself and Revolving Lenders cash or cash equivalents acceptable to Agent (“Cash Equivalents”) in an amount equal to 105% of the maximum amount then available to be drawn under each applicable Letter of Credit outstanding for the benefit of such Borrower. Such funds or Cash Equivalents shall be held by Agent in a cash collateral account (the “Cash Collateral Account”) maintained at a bank or financial institution reasonably acceptable to Agent. The Cash Collateral Account shall be in the name of the applicable Borrower and shall be pledged to, and subject to the control of, Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, in a manner satisfactory to Agent. Each Borrower hereby pledges and grants to Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders, a security interest in all such funds and Cash Equivalents held in the Cash Collateral Account from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the payment of all amounts due in respect of the Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations, whether or not then due. The Agreement, including this Annex B, shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. If Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder or as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount shall be returned to Borrowers within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(ii) If any Letter of Credit Obligations, whether or not then due and payable, shall for any reason be outstanding on the Commitment Termination Date, Borrowers shall either (A) provide cash collateral therefor in the manner described above, or (B) cause all such Letters of Credit and guaranties thereof, if any, to be canceled and returned, or (C) deliver a stand-by letter (or letters) of credit in guaranty of such Letter of Credit Obligations, which stand-by letter (or letters) of credit shall be of like tenor and duration (plus thirty (30) additional days) as, and in an amount equal to 105% of, the aggregate maximum amount then available to be drawn under, the Letters of Credit to which such outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations relate and shall be issued by a Person, and shall be subject to such terms and conditions, as are be reasonably satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion.

B-2

(iii) From time to time after funds are deposited in the Cash Collateral Account by any Borrower, whether before or after the Commitment Termination Date, Agent may apply such funds or Cash Equivalents then held in the Cash Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, and in such order as Agent may elect, as shall be or shall become due and payable by such Borrower to Agent and Lenders with respect to such Letter of Credit Obligations of such Borrower and, upon the satisfaction in full of all Letter of Credit Obligations of such Borrower, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to any other Obligations of any Borrower then due and payable.

(iv) No Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through any Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds or Cash Equivalents held in the Cash Collateral Account, except that upon the termination of all Letter of Credit Obligations and the payment of all amounts payable by Borrowers to Agent and Lenders in respect thereof, any funds remaining in the Cash Collateral Account shall (A) if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be applied to other Obligations then due and owing and upon payment in full of such Obligations, any remaining amount shall be paid to Borrowers or as otherwise required by law or (B) be paid to Borrowers or as otherwise required by law. Interest earned on deposits in the Cash Collateral Account shall be held as additional collateral.

(v) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, to the extent required by the Senior Secured Notes Indenture, Borrowers shall be permitted to grant a security interest in, for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Secured Notes, the cash deposited in the Cash Collateral Account pursuant to the terms of clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph (d), subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

(d) Fees and Expenses. Borrowers agree to pay to Agent for the benefit of Revolving Lenders, as compensation to such Lenders for Letter of Credit Obligations incurred hereunder, (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Agent or any Lender on account of such Letter of Credit Obligations, and (ii) for each month during which any Letter of Credit Obligation shall remain outstanding, a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) in an amount equal to the Applicable L/C Margin from time to time in effect multiplied by the maximum amount available from time to time to be drawn under the applicable Letter of Credit. Such fee shall be paid to Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders in arrears, on the first day of each month and on the Commitment Termination Date. In addition, Borrowers shall pay to any L/C Issuer, on demand, such fees (including all per annum fees), and reasonable out-of-pocket charges and expenses of such L/C Issuer in respect of the issuance, negotiation, acceptance, amendment, transfer and payment of such Letter of Credit or otherwise payable pursuant to the application and related documentation under which such Letter of Credit is issued.

B-3

(e) Request for Incurrence of Letter of Credit Obligations. Borrower Representative shall give Agent at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice requesting the incurrence of any Letter of Credit Obligation (including the amendment, renewal or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit). The notice shall be accompanied by the form of the Letter of Credit (which shall be acceptable to the L/C Issuer) and, if requested by the L/C Issuer, a completed letter of credit application on the L/C Issuer’s standard form; provided that the Application for Standby Letter of Credit in the form of Exhibit B-1 attached hereto will be the standard form to be used for all Letters of Credit issued by GE Capital or a subsidiary thereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Letter of Credit applications by Borrower Representative and approvals by Agent and the L/C Issuer may be made and transmitted pursuant to electronic codes and security measures mutually agreed upon and established by and among Borrower Representative, Agent and the L/C Issuer. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by Borrower Representative to, or entered into by Borrower Representative with, the L/C Issuer relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(f) Obligation Absolute. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Agent and Revolving Lenders for payments made with respect to any Letter of Credit Obligation shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, without necessity of presentment, demand, protest or other formalities on the terms and conditions in the Agreement, and the obligations of each Revolving Lender to make payments to Agent with respect to Letters of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable. Such obligations of Borrowers and Revolving Lenders shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or the Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other agreement;

(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates or any Lender may at any time have against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for whom any such transferee may be acting), Agent, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with the Agreement, the Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or therein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates and the beneficiary for which the Letter of Credit was procured);

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate 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;

B-4

(iv) payment by Agent (except as otherwise expressly provided in paragraph (g)(ii)(C) below) or any L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or such guaranty;

(v) any other circumstance or event whatsoever, that is similar to any of the foregoing; or

(vi) the fact that a Default or an Event of Default hasoccurred and is continuing;

provided that the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi) shall not be construed to excuse the L/C Issuer for liability to Borrowers to the extent of any damages suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by the L/C Issuer’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof; provided, further, the parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the L/C Issuer (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.

(g) Indemnification; Nature of Lenders’ Duties.

(i) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in the Agreement, Borrowers hereby agree to pay and to protect, indemnify, and save harmless Agent and each Lender from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that Agent or any Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof, or (B) the failure of Agent or any Lender seeking indemnification or of any L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority, in each case other than to the extent solely as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or such Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).

(ii) As between Agent and any Lender and Borrowers, Borrowers assume all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by beneficiaries, of any Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for: (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document issued by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to demand payment under such Letter of Credit; provided, that in the case of any payment by Agent under any Letter of

B-5

Credit or guaranty thereof, Agent shall be liable to the extent such payment was made solely as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) in determining that the demand for payment under such Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof complies on its face with any applicable requirements for a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they may be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a payment under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof or of the proceeds thereof; (G) the credit of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof; and (H) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Agent or any Lender. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of Agent’s or any Lender’s rights or powers hereunder or under the Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing clauses (A) through (H) shall not be construed to excuse the L/C Issuer for liability to Borrowers to the extent of any damages suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by the L/C Issuer’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof; provided, further, the parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the L/C Issuer (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.

(iii) Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit or to expand any waivers, covenants or indemnities made by Borrowers in favor of any L/C Issuer in any letter of credit application, reimbursement agreement or similar document, instrument or agreement between or among Borrowers and such L/C Issuer, including a Master Standby Agreement entered into with Agent.

(h) Disbursement and Interest.

The L/C Issuer shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The L/C Issuer shall promptly notify Agent and Borrower Representative by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the L/C Issuer has made or will make a payment thereunder. If the L/C Issuer shall make any payment under the Letter of Credit, then, unless Borrowers shall reimburse such payment in full on the date such payment is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such payment is made to but excluding the date that Borrowers reimburse such payment, at the rate per annum then applicable to Index Rate Loans. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the L/C Issuer (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.

On or before the Closing Date, Borrowers shall have established concentration accounts in one or more of their respective names (each a “Concentration Account” and collectively, the “Concentration Accounts”) at the bank or banks that shall be designated as the Concentration Account bank for each such Borrower or Borrowers in Schedule 3.21 (each a “Concentration Account Bank” and collectively, the “Concentration Account Banks”), which banks shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(b) Borrowers shall maintain, in one or more of their respective names, an account (each a “Disbursement Account” and collectively, the “Disbursement Accounts”) at a bank reasonably acceptable to Agent into which Agent shall, from time to time, deposit proceeds of Loans made to Borrowers pursuant to Section 1.1 for use by Borrowers solely in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.4. In addition, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Domestic Credit Parties and their Domestic Subsidiaries shall be permitted to maintain and fund (i) deposit accounts of Domestic Credit Parties and their Domestic Subsidiaries (other than deposit accounts for which cash collections of the Credit Parties are deposited) so long as the aggregate balance in such deposit accounts does not exceed of $4,000,000 at any one time and (ii) the Excluded Deposit Accounts (as defined in the Security Agreement).

Borrowers shall close any of their accounts (and establish replacement accounts in accordance with the foregoing sentence) promptly and in any event within thirty (30) days following notice from Agent that the creditworthiness of any bank holding an account is no longer acceptable in Agent’s reasonable judgment, or as promptly as practicable and in any event within sixty (60) days following notice from Agent that the operating performance, funds transfer or availability procedures or performance with respect to accounts or Lock Boxes of the bank holding such accounts or Agent’s liability under any tri-party blocked account agreement with such bank is no longer acceptable in Agent’s reasonable judgment.

(e) The Lock Boxes, Blocked Accounts, Disbursement Accounts and the Concentration Accounts shall be cash collateral accounts, with all cash, checks and other similar items of payment in such accounts securing payment of the Loans and all other Obligations, and in which each Borrower and each Subsidiary thereof shall have granted a Lien to Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders, pursuant to the Security Agreement.

(f) All amounts deposited in the Collection Account shall be deemed received by Agent in accordance with Section 1.10 and shall be applied (and allocated) by Agent in accordance with Section 1.11. In no event shall any amount be so applied unless and until such amount shall have been credited in immediately available funds to the Collection Account.

ANNEX G (Section 6.10)

to

CREDIT AGREEMENT

FINANCIAL COVENANTS

    Borrowers shall not breach or fail to comply with any of the following financial covenants, each of which shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, until the Termination Date:

    (a)  Maximum Capital Expenditures. The Credit Parties on a consolidated basis shall not make Capital Expenditures during the following Fiscal Years that exceed in the aggregate the amounts set forth opposite each such Fiscal Year below (the “Maximum Capital Expenditures”); provided that the Maximum Capital Expenditures for each Fiscal Year, commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2008, shall be increased by the amount by which (x) the Maximum Capital Expenditures for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year exceeds (y) the aggregate amount of the actual Capital Expenditures of the Credit Parties for such immediately preceding Fiscal Year:

Fiscal Year	Maximum Capital Expenditures
2007	$14,950,000
2008	$15,870,000
2009	$16,790,000
2010	$16,790,000
2011	$16,790,000

    (b) Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. If at any time Excess Availability is less than $5,000,000 (a “Covenant Trigger Event”), then Credit Parties shall be required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, tested as of the 12-month period ending on the last day of the last full Fiscal Month prior to such Covenant Trigger Event, of not less than the following:

Period	Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
Period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2007	0.80 to 1.00
All times thereafter	1.00 to 1.00

G-1

provided, however, if a Covenant Trigger Event has occurred and Excess Availability of at least $10,000,000 is maintained for a period of 90 consecutive days, compliance with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall not longer be required unless and until another Covenant Trigger Event shall occur.

    (c) Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any accounting term used in the Agreement shall have the meaning customarily given such term in accordance with GAAP, and all financial computations hereunder shall be computed in accordance with GAAP consistently applied. That certain items or computations are explicitly modified by the phrase “in accordance with GAAP” shall in no way be construed to limit the foregoing. If any “Accounting Changes” (as defined below) shall occur after the date hereof and such changes result in a change in the calculation of the financial covenants, standards or terms used in the Agreement or any other Loan Document, then Borrowers, Agent and Lenders agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of the Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating Borrowers’ and their Subsidiaries’ financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting Changes as if such Accounting Changes had not been made; provided, however, that the agreement of Requisite Lenders to any required amendments of such provisions shall be sufficient to bind all Lenders. “Accounting Changes” means (i) changes in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or successor thereto or any agency with similar functions), (ii) changes in accounting principles concurred in by any Borrower’s certified public accountants; (iii) purchase accounting adjustments under A.P.B. 16 or 17 and EITF 88-16, and the application of the accounting principles set forth in FASB 109, including the establishment of reserves pursuant thereto and any subsequent reversal (in whole or in part) of such reserves; and (iv) the reversal of any reserves established as a result of purchase accounting adjustments. All such adjustments resulting from expenditures made subsequent to the Closing Date (including capitalization of costs and expenses or payment of pre-Closing Date liabilities) shall be treated as expenses in the period the expenditures are made and deducted as part of the calculation of EBITDA in such period, but only to the extent any such adjustment would result in a change in the calculation of Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for such period. If Agent, Borrowers and Requisite Lenders agree upon the required amendments, then after appropriate amendments have been executed and the underlying Accounting Change with respect thereto has been implemented, any reference to GAAP contained in the Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall, only to the extent of such Accounting Change, refer to GAAP, consistently applied after giving effect to the implementation of such Accounting Change. If Agent, Borrowers and Requisite Lenders cannot agree upon the required amendments within thirty (30) days following the date of implementation of any Accounting Change, then all Financial Statements delivered and all calculations of financial covenants and other standards and terms in accordance with the Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be prepared, delivered and made without regard to the underlying Accounting Change. For purposes of Section 8.1, a breach of the Financial Covenant contained in paragraph(b) of this Annex G shall be deemed to have occurred as of the last day of any specified measurement period with respect to Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, regardless of when the Financial Statements reflecting such breach are delivered to Agent.
