Fourth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement
Press Release, Dated October 25, 2002

Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On October 25, 2002, Gray Television, Inc. (“Gray”) completed its acquisition of Stations Holding Company, Inc. (“Stations Holding”). Gray acquired Stations Holding by merging Gray’s newly formed wholly owned subsidiary, Gray MidAmerica Television, Inc. (“GMAT”) with and into Stations Holding.

Prior to the merger, Stations Holding owned and operated 15 network affiliated broadcast television stations. Subsequent to the merger, Gray now owns and operates a total of 28 stations serving 24 television markets. The stations include 15 CBS affiliates, seven NBC affiliates and six ABC affiliates. The combined station group has 25 out of its 28 stations ranked first or second in viewing audience and 23 out of its 28 stations ranked first or second in local news audience within their respective markets. The combined group reaches over 5% of total U.S. TV households. In addition, with 15 CBS affiliated stations, Gray is the largest independent owner of CBS affiliates in the country. The combined station group has a significant presence in the Southeast, Southwest, Midwest and Great Lakes regions of the United States.

Aggregate consideration paid was approximately $513.4 million which included a base purchase price of $502.5 million, transaction expenses of approximately $7.0 million and certain net working capital adjustments of $3.9 million. Gray funded the acquisition by issuing 30,000,000 shares of Gray Common Stock (NYSE ticker: GTN) to the public for net proceeds of approximately $231.7 million, with additional borrowings of $275.0 million under its amended bank loan agreement and with cash on hand.

The terms of the acquisition, including the consideration paid by Gray, were determined in arms-length negotiations between Gray and the sellers and are set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 4, 2002 by and among Stations Holding, Gray and GMAT.

In connection with the acquisition, Gray entered into an amended loan agreement with a group of lenders whose primary agents were Wachovia Bank, National Association, Bank of America, N.A. and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas. The primary modifications to the loan agreement effected by the amendment were an increase in committed available credit and a decrease in interest rates. Under the amended loan agreement, committed available credit increased from $150.0 million to $450.0 million. Prior to the amendment, the loan agreement consisted of a $50.0 million revolving facility and a $100.0 million term facility. The revolving facility was increased to $75.0 million and the term facility was increased to $375.0 million.

Under the amended revolving and term facilities, Gray, at its option, can borrow funds at an interest rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin or at the lenders’ base rate plus a margin. The base rate will generally be equal to the lenders’ prime rate. Interest rates under the amended revolving facility are base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.75% or LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 3.0%. Interest rates under the amended term facility are base plus a margin ranging

from 1.25% to 1.75% or LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.00%. The applicable margin payable by Gray will be determined by Gray’s operating leverage ratio that is calculated quarterly.

Immediately after the acquisition, Gray had $375.0 million of term loans outstanding under the amended bank loan agreement with $75 million of credit remaining available under the revolving facility.

The lenders’ commitments for the revolving facility will reduce quarterly, as specified in the credit agreement, beginning March 31, 2004 and final repayment of any outstanding amounts under the revolving facility is due December 31, 2009. The term facility commences amortization in quarterly installments of $937,500 beginning March 31, 2004 through December 31, 2009 with the remaining outstanding balance payable in four equal quarterly installments beginning March 31, 2010. The final maturity date for any outstanding amounts under the term facility is December 31, 2010. Reference is made to the amended loan agreement, which is filed as an exhibit hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

In connection with the amendment to the loan agreement, Gray incurred approximately $5.6 million in additional financing costs. These financing costs were funded through borrowings under the amended bank loan agreement.

Upon request, the Administrative Agent, whose determination in absence of manifest error shall be conclusive, shall determine the available LIBOR Basis and shall notify the Borrower of such LIBOR Basis. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent in the case of LIBOR Advances at least three (3) Business Days' irrevocable prior telephonic notice followed immediately by a Request for Advance; provided, however, that the Borrower's failure to confirm any telephonic notice with a Request for Advance shall not invalidate any notice so given if acted upon by the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender by telephone or telecopy of the contents thereof. (ii) Repayments; Conversion; Continuation. Subject to Section 2.1 hereof, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Payment Date for each LIBOR Advance, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice followed immediately by a Request for Advance specifying whether all or a portion of such LIBOR Advance (A) is to be Continued in whole or in part as one or more LIBOR Advances, (B) is to be Converted in whole or in part to a Base Rate Advance, or (C) is to be repaid and not Continued or Converted. The failure to give such notice shall preclude the Borrower from Continuing such Advance as a LIBOR Advance on its Payment Date and shall be considered a request for a Conversion to a Base Rate Advance. Upon such Payment Date such LIBOR Advance will, subject to the provisions hereof, be so repaid, Continued or Converted, as applicable. (d) Notification of Lenders. Upon receipt of a Request for Advance, or a notice from the Borrower with respect to any outstanding Advance prior to the Payment Date for 29

such Advance, the Administrative Agent shall promptly, but no later than, (i) with respect to LIBOR Advances, the close of business on the day of such notice, and (ii) with respect to Base Rate Advances, 12:30 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) notify each Lender (or, in the case of an Advance under the Incremental Facility Commitment, each Lender having an Incremental Facility Commitment) by telephone or telecopy of the contents thereof and the amount of such Lender's portion of the Advance. With respect to each Request for Advance, each Lender (or, in the case of an Advance under the Incremental Facility Commitment, each Lender having an Incremental Facility Commitment) shall, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date of borrowing specified in such Request for Advance, make available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's Office, or at such account as the Administrative Agent shall designate, the amount of its portion of any Advance which represents an additional borrowing hereunder in immediately available funds. (e) Disbursement. (i) Prior to 3:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date of an Advance hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article 3 hereof, disburse the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders in like funds by (A) transferring the amounts so made available by wire transfer pursuant to the Borrower's instructions, or (B) in the absence of such instructions, crediting the amounts so made available to the account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent. (ii) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date of any Advance that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's ratable portion of such Advance, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made or will make such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Advance and the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion and in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent the Lender does not make such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. (iii) If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender's portion of the applicable Advance for purposes of this Agreement. If such Lender does not repay such corresponding amount immediately upon the Administrative Agent's demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent, with interest at the Federal Funds Rate. The failure of any Lender to fund its portion of any Advance shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to fund its respective portion of the Advance on the date of such borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for any such failure of any other Lender. 30

(iv) In the event that, at any time when the Borrower is not in Default and has otherwise satisfied each of the conditions in Section 3.2 hereof, a Lender for any reason fails or refuses to fund its portion of an Advance and such failure shall continue for a period in excess of thirty (30) days, then, until such time as such Lender has funded its portion of such Advance (which late funding shall not absolve such Lender from any liability it may have to the Borrower), or all other Lenders have received payment in full from the Borrower (whether by repayment or prepayment) or otherwise of the principal and interest due in respect of such Advance, such non-funding Lender shall not have the right (A) to vote regarding any issue on which voting is required or advisable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and such Lender's portion of the Loans shall not be counted as outstanding for purposes of determining "Required Lenders" hereunder, and (B) to receive payments of principal, interest or fees from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders in respect of its portion of the Loans. Section 2.3 Interest. (a) On Base Rate Advances. Interest on each Base Rate Advance shall be computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable at the Base Rate Basis for such Advance, in arrears on the applicable Payment Date. Interest on Base Rate Advances then outstanding shall also be due and payable on the Maturity Date. (b) On LIBOR Advances. Interest on each LIBOR Advance shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable at the LIBOR Basis for such Advance, in arrears on the applicable Payment Date, and, in addition, if the Interest Period for a LIBOR Advance exceeds three (3) months, interest on such LIBOR Advance shall also be due and payable in arrears on every three-month anniversary of the beginning of such Interest Period. Interest on LIBOR Advances then outstanding shall also be due and payable on the Maturity Date. (c) Interest if No Notice of Selection of Interest Rate Basis. If the Borrower fails to give the Administrative Agent timely notice of its selection of a LIBOR Basis, or if for any reason a determination of a LIBOR Basis for any Advance is not timely concluded, the Base Rate Basis shall apply to such Advance. (d) Interest Upon Default. Immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Such interest shall be payable on demand by the Required Lenders and shall accrue until the earlier of (i) waiver or cure of the applicable Event of Default, (ii) agreement by the Required Lenders (or, if applicable to the underlying Event of Default, the Lenders) to rescind the charging of interest at the Default Rate, or (iii) payment in full of the Obligations. (e) LIBOR Contracts. At no time may the number of outstanding LIBOR Advances hereunder exceed eight (8) in the aggregate. (f) Applicable Margin. 31

Section 2.9 Manner of Payment. 38

(a) Each payment (including any prepayment) by the Borrower on account of the principal of or interest on the Loans, commitment fees and any other amount owed to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent or any of them under this Agreement or the Notes shall be made not later than 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's Office, for the account of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds. Any payment received by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment intended for any Lender or Lenders hereunder prior to 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on any Business Day shall be deemed to constitute receipt by such Lender or Lenders on such Business Day. In the case of a payment for the account of a Lender, the Administrative Agent will promptly, but no later than the close of business on the date such payment is deemed received, thereafter distribute the amount so received in like funds to such Lender. If the Administrative Agent shall not have received any payment from the Borrower as and when due, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders accordingly. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall fail to make distribution to any Lender as required under this Section 2.9, the Administrative Agent agrees to pay such Lender interest from the date such payment was due until paid at the Federal Funds Rate. (b) The Borrower agrees to pay principal, interest, fees and all other amounts due hereunder or under the Notes without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction whatsoever. So long as the applicable Lender has complied with Section 2.13 hereof, the Borrower agrees to pay principal, interest, fees and all other amounts due hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Loan Document free and clear of all taxes, levies and withholding. So long as the applicable Lender has complied with Section 2.13 hereof, if the Borrower is required by Applicable Law to deduct any taxes from or in respect of any sum payable to the such Lender hereunder, under any Note or under any other Loan Document: (i) the sum payable hereunder or thereunder, as applicable, shall be increased to the extent necessary to provide that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.9(b)), the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made; (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions from such sums payable hereunder or thereunder, as applicable, and pay the amount so deducted to the relevant taxing authority as required by Applicable Law; and (iii) the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, with evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, that such deducted amounts have been paid to the relevant taxing authority. Before making any such deductions, such Lender shall designate a different lending office and may take such alternative courses of action if such designation or alternative courses of action will avoid the need for such deductions and will not in the good faith judgment of such Lender be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. (c) Subject to any contrary provisions in the definition of Interest Period, if any payment under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is specified to be made on a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next Business Day, and such 39

extension of time shall in such case be included in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment. (d) Prior to the declaration of an Event of Default under Section 8.2 hereof, if some but less than all amounts due from the Borrower are received by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Obligations, the Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 2.2(e) hereof) distribute such amounts in the following order of priority, all in accordance where applicable with the respective Commitment Ratios of the Lenders for the applicable Commitment: first, to the payment of any fees or expenses then due and payable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, or any of them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (on a pro rata basis, based on all such amounts then due and payable); second, to the payment of interest then due and payable on the Loans (on a pro rata basis, based on all such amounts then due and payable); third, to the payment of all other amounts not otherwise referred to in this Section 2.9(d) then due and payable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, or any of them, hereunder or under the Notes, the Letters of Credit or any other Loan Document (on a pro rata basis, based on all such amounts then due and payable); fourth, to the payment of principal then due and payable on the Loans and any Interest Rate Hedge Obligations (including any termination payments and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) (on a pro rata basis, based on all such amounts then due and payable); fifth, to any other Obligations not otherwise referred to in this Section 2.9(d) until all such Obligations are paid in full (on a pro rata basis, based on all such amounts then due and payable); sixth, to damages incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, or any of them, by reason of any breach hereof or of any other Loan Document (on a pro rata basis, based on all such amounts then due and payable); and seventh, as otherwise required by Applicable Law. Section 2.10 Reimbursement. (a) Whenever any Lender shall sustain or incur any losses or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with (i) failure by the Borrower to borrow, Continue or Convert any LIBOR Advance after having given notice of its intention to borrow, Continue or Convert such Advance in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof (whether by reason of the Borrower's election not to proceed or the non-fulfillment of any of the conditions set forth in Article 3), or (ii) prepayment (or failure to prepay after giving notice thereof) of any LIBOR Advance in whole or in part for any reason, the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon the earlier of such Lender's demand or the Maturity Date, an amount sufficient to compensate such Lender for all such losses and out-of-pocket expenses. Such Lender's good faith determination of the amount of such losses or out-of-pocket expenses, as set forth in writing and accompanied by calculations in reasonable detail demonstrating the basis for its demand, shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error. (b) Losses subject to reimbursement hereunder shall include, without limitation, expenses incurred by any Lender or any participant of such Lender permitted hereunder in connection with the re-employment of funds prepaid, paid, repaid, not borrowed, or not paid, as the case may be, and will be payable whether the Maturity Date is changed by virtue of an amendment hereto (unless such amendment expressly waives such payment) or as a result of acceleration of the Obligations. 40

Section 2.11 Pro Rata Treatment. (a) Advances. Each Advance under the Revolving Loan Commitment and, if applicable, the Incremental Facility Commitments, from the Lenders hereunder made on or after the Agreement Date, shall be made pro rata on the basis of the respective Commitment Ratios of the Lenders. On the Agreement Date, each Advance from the Lenders under the Term Loan Commitment shall be made pro rata on the basis of the respective Commitment Ratios of the Lenders. (b) Payments. Each payment and prepayment of principal of the Loans, and, except as provided in each of Section 2.2(e) and Article 10 hereof, each payment of interest on the Loans, shall be made to the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective unpaid principal amounts outstanding under the applicable Notes immediately prior to such payment or prepayment. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Loans in excess of its ratable share of the applicable Loans under its applicable Commitment Ratio, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the portion of the applicable Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. Section 2.12 Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof, the adoption of any Applicable Law regarding the capital adequacy of banks or bank holding companies, or any change in Applicable Law (whether adopted before or after the Agreement Date) or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender with any directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitment (or, if applicable, Incremental Facility Commitments) to a level below that which it could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy immediately before such adoption, change or compliance and assuming that such Lender's capital was fully utilized prior to such adoption, change or compliance) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then, upon the earlier of demand by such Lender or the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduced return, together with interest on such amount from the fourth (4th) Business Day after the date of demand or the Maturity Date, as applicable, until payment in full thereof at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall only be obligated to 41

compensate such Lender for any amount under this subsection arising or occurring during (i) in the case of each such request for compensation, any time or period commencing not more than ninety (90) days prior to the date on which such Lender submits such request and (ii) any other time or period during which, because of the unannounced retroactive application of such law, regulation, interpretation, request or directive, such Lender could not have known that the resulting reduction in return might arise. A certificate of such Lender setting forth the amount to be paid to such Lender by the Borrower as a result of any event referred to in this paragraph and supporting calculations in reasonable detail shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error. Section 2.13 Lender Tax Forms. On or prior to the Agreement Date, and prior to the date on which any Person becomes a Lender hereunder, and from time to time thereafter if required by Applicable Law due to a change in circumstances or if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (unless such Lender is unable to do so by reasons of change in Applicable Law), each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with (i) an accurate and duly completed United States Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 or Form 1001, as the case may be, and Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or Form W-9, as the case may be, or other applicable or successor form, certificate or document prescribed by the United States Internal Revenue Service certifying as to such Lender's entitlement to full exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to all payments to be made to such Lender hereunder or under any Note or other Loan Document, or, (ii) in the case of a Lender that is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224 pursuant to clause (i) above, (A) an accurate and duly completed United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI, or other applicable or successor form, certificate or document prescribed by the United States Internal Revenue Service certifying to such Lender's foreign status and (B) a certificate certifying to such Lender's entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to all payments hereunder or under any Note or other Loan Document. In the event that the Borrower withholds a portion of any payment hereunder or under any Note or other Loan Document in accordance with this Section 2.13, the Borrower shall provide evidence that such taxes of any nature whatsoever in respect of this Agreement, any Loan or any Note or other Loan Document shall have been paid to the appropriate taxing authorities by delivery to the Lender on whose account such payment was made of the official tax receipts or notarized copies of such receipts within thirty (30) days after payment of such tax. If the Borrower fails to make any such payment when due, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Lender as a result of any such failure. For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form described above (other than if such failure is due to a change in Applicable Law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification with respect to withholding taxes imposed by the United States and the Borrower shall be allowed to deduct from payments to such Lender hereunder and under any Note or other Loan Document, the amount of any such withholding taxes paid by the Borrower. Section 2.14 Letters of Credit. 42

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank, on behalf of the Lenders, and in reliance on the agreements of the Lenders set forth in Section 2.14(d) hereof, hereby agrees to issue one or more Letters of Credit up to an aggregate face amount equal to the Available Letter of Credit Commitment determined immediately prior to giving effect to the issuance thereof; provided, however, that the Issuing Bank shall not issue any Letter of Credit unless the conditions precedent to the issuance thereof set forth in Section 3.3 hereof have been satisfied, and shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any Default then exists or would be caused thereby or if, after giving effect to such issuance, the Available Revolving Loan Commitment would be less than zero; and provided further, however, that at no time shall the total Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding hereunder exceed $20,000,000.00. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in United States Dollars, and (ii) expire no later than the earlier to occur of (A) the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date or (B) 364 days after its date of issuance (but may contain provisions for automatic renewal; provided that no Default or Event of Default exists on the renewal date or would be caused by such renewal). Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500 and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of Georgia. The Issuing Bank shall not at any time be obligated to issue, or cause to be issued, any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Bank to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law. If a Letter of Credit provides that it is automatically renewable unless notice is given by the Issuing Bank that it will not be renewed, the Issuing Bank shall not be bound to give a notice of non-renewal unless directed to do so by the Required Lenders at least sixty-five (65) days prior to the then scheduled expiration date of such Letter of Credit. The Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued and outstanding under this Agreement on and after the Agreement Date. (b) The Borrower may from time to time request the issuance of, and be provided with by the Issuing Bank, Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank a Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit for each Letter of Credit to be issued by the Issuing Bank, not later than 12:00 noon (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day preceding the date on which the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued, or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any such Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit, subject to satisfaction of all conditions precedent thereto as set forth in Section 3.3 hereof, the Issuing Bank shall process such Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby. The Issuing Bank shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent following the issuance thereof. The Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Bank for normal and customary costs and expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering the Letters of Credit. (c) At such time as the Administrative Agent shall be notified by the Issuing Bank that the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit has drawn on the same, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender, by telephone or telecopy, of the 43

amount of the draw and, in the case of each Lender, such Lender's portion of such draw amount as calculated in accordance with its Revolving Loan Commitment Ratio. (d) The Borrower hereby agrees to immediately reimburse the Issuing Bank for amounts paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of draws under a Letter of Credit issued at the Borrower's request. In order to facilitate such repayment, the Borrower hereby irrevocably requests the Lenders having a Revolving Loan Commitment, and such Lenders hereby severally agree, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement (other than as provided in Article 2 hereof with respect to the amounts of, the timing of requests for, and the repayment of Advances hereunder and in Section 3.3 hereof with respect to conditions precedent to Advances hereunder), with respect to any drawing under a Letter of Credit prior to the occurrence of an event described in Sections 8.1(f) or (g) hereof, to make an Advance (which Advance may be a LIBOR Advance if the Borrower so requests in a timely manner or may be converted to a LIBOR Advance as provided in the Loan Agreement) to the Borrower on each day on which a draw is made under any Letter of Credit and in the amount of such draw, and to pay the proceeds of such Advance directly to the Issuing Bank to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount paid by it upon such draw. Each Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment shall pay its share of such Advance by paying its portion of such Advance to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Article 2 hereof and its Revolving Loan Commitment Ratio, without reduction for any set-off or counterclaim of any nature whatsoever and regardless of whether any Default or Event of Default (other than with respect to an event described in Sections 8.1 (f) or (g) hereof) then exists or would be caused thereby. If at any time that any Letters of Credit are outstanding, any of the events described in Sections 8.1 (f) or (g) hereof shall have occurred and be continuing, then each Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment shall, automatically upon the occurrence of any such event and without any action on the part of the Issuing Bank, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, be deemed to have purchased an undivided participation in the face amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding in an amount equal to such Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment Ratio, and each Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment shall, notwithstanding such Default or Event of Default, upon a drawing under any Letter of Credit, immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender's participation (and the Issuing Bank shall deliver to such Lender a loan participation certificate dated the date of the occurrence of such event and in the amount of such Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment Ratio). The disbursement of funds in connection with a draw under a Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.14(d) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Article 2 hereof. The obligation of each Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment to make payments to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, in accordance with this Section 2.14 shall be absolute and unconditional and no such Lender shall be relieved of its obligations to make such payments by reason of noncompliance by any other Person with the terms of the Letter of Credit or for any other reason. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received from the other Lenders. Any overdue amounts payable by the Lenders having a Revolving Loan Commitment to the Issuing Bank in respect of a draw under any Letter of Credit shall bear interest, payable on demand, at the Federal Funds Rate. (e) The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Bank in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for such actions or omissions as 44

shall constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank, shall be binding on the Borrower as between the Borrower and the Issuing Bank, and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Bank to the Borrower. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Lenders for Advances made to reimburse the Issuing Bank for draws under the Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document; (ii) any amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any or all of the Loan Documents; (iii) any improper use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any improper acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit in connection therewith; (iv) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any right which the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting) or any Lender (other than the defense of payment to such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other Person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, any transaction contemplated by any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any unrelated transaction; (v) any statement or any other documents presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be insufficient, forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (vi) the insolvency of any Person issuing any documents in connection with any Letter of Credit; (vii) any breach of any agreement between the Borrower and any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit, provided that the same shall not have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank; (viii) any irregularity in the transaction with respect to which any Letter of Credit is issued, including, without limitation, any fraud by the beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, provided that the same shall not be the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank; (ix) any errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, wireless or otherwise, whether or not they are in code, provided that the same shall not be the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank; 45

(x) any act, error, neglect, default, omission, insolvency or failure of business of any of the correspondents of the Issuing Bank, provided that the same shall not have constituted the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank; (xi) any other circumstances arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; (xii) payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a sight draft or a certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, provided that such payment shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank; and (xiii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, provided that such other circumstances or happenings shall not have been the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank. (f) If any change in Applicable Law, any change in the interpretation or administration thereof, or any change in compliance with Applicable Law by the Issuing Bank or any Lender as a result of any official request or directive of any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency (whether or not having the force of law) shall (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit, capital adequacy, assessment or other requirements or conditions against Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank or against participations by any other Lender in the Letters of Credit or (ii) impose on the Issuing Bank or any other Lender any other condition regarding any Letter of Credit or any participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing in the reasonable determination of the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, is to increase the cost to the Issuing Bank or such Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining any participation therein, as the case may be, by an amount (which amount shall be reasonably determined) deemed by the Issuing Bank or such Lender to be material, and the designation of a different lending office will not avoid the need for additional compensation, then, on request by the Issuing Bank or such Lender, the Borrower shall pay, within ten (10) days after demand, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, so determines will compensate it for such increased costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall only be obligated to compensate such Lender for any amount under this subsection arising or occurring during (i) in the case of each such request for compensation, any time or period commencing not more than ninety (90) days prior to the date on which such Lender submits such request and (ii) any other time or period during which, because of the unannounced retroactive application of such law, regulation, interpretation, request or directive, such Lender could not have known that the resulting reduction in return might arise. A certificate of the Issuing Bank or such Lender setting forth the amount, and in reasonable detail the basis for the Issuing Bank or such Lender's determination of such amount, to be paid to the Issuing Bank or such Lender by the Borrower as a result of any event referred to in this Section 2.14(f) shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive. 46

(g) Each Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment shall be responsible for its pro rata share (based on such Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment Ratio) of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) and disbursements which may be incurred or made by the Issuing Bank in connection with the collection of any amounts due under, the administration of, or the presentation or enforcement of any rights conferred by any Letter of Credit, the Borrower's or any guarantor's obligations to reimburse or otherwise. In the event the Borrower shall fail to pay such expenses of the Issuing Bank within ten (10) days after demand for payment by the Issuing Bank, each Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment shall thereupon pay to the Issuing Bank its pro rata share (based on such Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment Ratio) of such expenses within five (5) days from the date of the Issuing Bank's notice to the Lenders having a Revolving Loan Commitment of the Borrower's failure to pay; provided, however, that if the Borrower or any guarantor shall thereafter pay such expense, the Issuing Bank will repay to each Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment Ratio the amounts received from such Lender hereunder. (h) The Borrower agrees that each Advance by the Lenders having a Revolving Loan Commitment to reimburse the Issuing Bank for draws under any Letter of Credit, shall, for all purposes hereunder, be deemed to be an Advance under the Revolving Loan Commitment to the Borrower and shall be payable and bear interest in accordance with all other Revolving Loans to the Borrower. (i) The Borrower will indemnify and hold harmless the Co-Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each other Lender and each of their respective employees, representatives, officers and directors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses (other than loss of profits), damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys' fees, but excluding taxes) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any such other Lender in any way relating to or arising out of the issuance of a Letter of Credit, except that the Borrower shall not be liable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any such Lender for any portion of such claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Co-Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, as determined by a non-appealable judicial order. This Section 2.14(i) shall survive termination of this Agreement. Section 2.15 Incremental Facility Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may request the Incremental Facility Commitment on any Business Day on or prior to December 31, 2005; provided, however, that the Borrower may not request the Incremental Facility Commitment or an Incremental Facility Advance after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, including, without limitation, any Default that would result after giving effect to any Incremental Facility Advance; and provided, further, that the Borrower may request only five (5) Incremental Facility Commitments (although such commitments may be from more than one Lender) and must request a minimum Incremental Facility Commitment of $25,000,000.00. 47

The aggregate amount of the Incremental Facility Commitments and outstanding Incremental Facility Loans shall not exceed $300,000,000.00. The maturity date for the Incremental Facility Loans shall be no earlier than six (6) calendar months after the Term Loan Maturity Date and the average life of each Incremental Facility Loan shall be longer than the average life of the Term Loan. The decision of any Lender to make an Incremental Facility Commitment to the Borrower shall be at such Lender's sole discretion and shall be made in writing. The Incremental Facility Commitment (x) must be in the form of a term loan facility, (y) must not require principal repayment earlier, or in amount larger (or percentage greater), than those set forth in the repayment schedule for the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.7(b) hereof and (z) must be governed by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and be on terms and conditions no more restrictive than those set forth herein and therein. Each Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any Incremental Facility Commitment on a pro rata basis. (b) Prior to the effectiveness of the Incremental Facility Commitment, the Borrower shall (i) deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a Notice of Incremental Facility Commitment in substantially the form of Exhibit O attached hereto; and (ii) provide revised projections to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and which shall demonstrate the Borrower's ability to timely repay such Incremental Facility Commitment and any Incremental Facility Loans thereunder and to comply with the covenants contained in Sections 7.8, 7.9, 7.10 and 7.11. (c) No Incremental Facility Commitment shall by itself result in any reduction of the Commitment or of the Commitment Ratio of the Lender making such Incremental Facility Commitment. (d) Incremental Facility Loans (i) shall bear interest at the Base Rate or LIBOR, in each case, plus an interest rate margin based on prevailing market conditions at such time and as agreed upon between the Borrower and the Lenders holding such Incremental Facility Commitments; provided that if at any time the interest rate margin applicable to any Incremental Facility Loan exceeds the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to any Advance under the Term Loan Commitment (as determined pursuant to Section 2.3(f)(ii) hereof) by more than 0.25%, then the Applicable Margin with respect to any Advance under the Term Loan Commitment shall be automatically increased to a percentage 0.25% below the interest rate margin then applicable to Incremental Facility Loans; (ii) subject to Section 2.15(a) hereof, shall be repaid as agreed to by the Borrower and the Lender making such Incremental Facility Loans; (iii) shall for all purposes be Loans and Obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents; (iv) shall be represented by an Incremental Facility Note in substantially the form of Exhibit G-3 attached hereto; and (v) shall rank pari passu with the other Loans for purposes of Sections 2.9 and 8.2 hereof. (e) Incremental Facility Advances shall be requested by the Borrower pursuant to a request (which shall be in substantially the form of a Request for Advance) delivered in the same manner as a Request for Advance, but shall be funded pro rata only by those Lenders holding the Incremental Facility Commitment. 48

No Reportable Event has occurred and is continuing with 58

respect to any such Plan. No such Plan or trust created thereunder, or party in interest (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA), or any fiduciary (as defined in Section 3(21) of ERISA), has engaged in a "prohibited transaction" (as such term is defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) which would subject such Plan or any other Plan of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, any trust created thereunder, or any such party in interest or fiduciary, or any party dealing with any such Plan or any such trust, to the tax or penalty on "prohibited transactions" imposed by Section 502 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. Neither the Borrower nor any of its ERISA Affiliates, including its Subsidiaries, is or has been obligated to make any payment to a Multiemployer Plan. (n) Compliance with Regulations T, U and X.

Parts 220, 221 and 224) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Fed Regulations"). None of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock or for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry margin stock or for any other purpose which might constitute this transaction a "purpose credit" within the meaning of said Regulations. The Borrower has not taken, caused or authorized to be taken, and will not take any action which might cause this Agreement or the Notes to violate any Fed Regulation or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to violate the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in each case as now in effect or as the same may hereafter be in effect. If so requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish the Administrative Agent with (i) a statement or statements in conformity with the requirements of the applicable Federal Reserve Forms referred to in Regulation U of said Board of Governors and (ii) other documents evidencing its compliance with the margin regulations, reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent.

Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is required to register under the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and neither the entering into or performance by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries of this Agreement and the Loan Documents nor the issuance of the Notes violates any provision of such Act or requires any consent, approval or authorization of, or registration with, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental or public body or authority pursuant to any provisions of such Act. (p) Governmental Regulation. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is required to obtain any consent, approval, authorization, permit or license which has not already been obtained from, or effect any filing or registration which has not already been effected with, any federal, state or local regulatory authority in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is required to obtain any consent, approval, authorization, permit or license which has not already been obtained from, or effect any filing or registration which has 59

not already been effected with, any federal, state or local regulatory authority in connection with the performance, in accordance with their respective terms, of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, other than filing of appropriate Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and mortgages. (q) Absence of Default, Etc. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in material compliance in all respects with all of the provisions of their respective partnership agreements, operating agreements, certificates or articles of incorporation and by-laws, as the case may be, and no event has occurred or failed to occur (including, without limitation, any matter which could create a Default hereunder by cross-default) which has not been remedied or waived, the occurrence or non-occurrence of which constitutes, (i) a Default or (ii) a material default by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any indenture, agreement or other instrument relating to Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in the amount of $1,000,000.00 or more in the aggregate, any material license, or any judgment, decree or order to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected.

Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable and attainable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results. (s) Agreements with Affiliates.

(q) The Borrower or any holder of Subordinated Debt shall fail to comply with the agreement or instrument governing or evidencing such Subordinated Debt or any separate subordination agreement, and the Administrative Agent shall have determined that such failure to comply could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or on its ability to perform its obligations hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents or on the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder or under the Loan Documents. Section 8.2 Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default specified in Section 8.1 hereof (other than an Event of Default under Section 8.1(f) or (g) hereof) shall have occurred and shall be continuing, the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders subject to Section 9.8 hereof, shall (i) (A) terminate the Commitments, and/or (B) declare the principal of and interest on the Loans and the Notes and all other amounts owed to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Notes and any other Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything in this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Commitments shall thereupon forthwith terminate and (ii) require the Borrower to, and the Borrower shall thereupon, deposit in an interest bearing account with the Administrative Agent, as cash collateral for the Obligations, an amount equal to the maximum amount currently or at any time thereafter to be drawn on all outstanding Letters of Credit, and the Borrower hereby pledges to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank and grants to them a security interest in, all such cash as security for the Obligations. (b) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default specified in Section 8.1(f) or (g) hereof, all principal, interest and other amounts due hereunder and under the Notes, and all other Obligations (other than Interest Rate Hedge Obligations), shall thereupon and concurrently therewith become due and payable and the Commitments shall forthwith terminate and the principal amount of the Loans outstanding hereunder shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and the Borrower shall thereupon, deposit in an interest bearing account with the Administrative Agent, as cash collateral for the Obligations, an amount equal to the maximum amount currently or at any time thereafter to be drawn on all outstanding Letters of Credit, all without any action by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Required Lenders and the Issuing Bank, or any of them, and without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived, anything in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Borrower hereby pledges to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank and grants to them a security interest in, all such cash as security for the Obligations. (c) Upon acceleration of the Notes, as provided in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 8.2, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have all of the post-default rights granted to them, or any of them, as applicable under the Loan Documents and under Applicable Law. 86

(d) Upon acceleration of the Notes, as provided in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 8.2, the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) upon the request of the Lenders to operate the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of the Licenses and pursuant to the terms and subject to any limitations contained in the Security Documents and, within guidelines established by the Required Lenders, to make any and all payments and expenditures necessary or desirable in connection therewith, including, without limitation, payment of wages as required under the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended, and of any necessary withholding taxes to state or federal authorities. In the event the Required Lenders fail to agree upon the guidelines referred to in the preceding sentence within six (6) Business Days after the Administrative Agent has begun to operate the business of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may, after giving three (3) days' prior written notice to the Lenders of its intention to do so, make such payments and expenditures as it deems reasonable and advisable in its sole discretion to maintain the normal day-to-day operation of such business. Such payments and expenditures in excess of receipts shall constitute Advances under this Agreement, not in excess of the amount of the Commitments. Advances made pursuant to this Section 8.2(d) shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.3(d) hereof and shall be payable on demand. The making of one or more Advances under this Section 8.2(d) shall not create any obligation on the part of the Lenders to make any additional Advances hereunder. No exercise by the Administrative Agent of the rights granted to it under this Section 8.2(d) shall constitute a waiver of any other rights and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, under this Agreement or at law. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as agent for the Lenders, the true and lawful attorney of the Borrower, in its name and stead and on its behalf, to execute, receipt for or otherwise act in connection with any and all contracts, instruments or other documents in connection with the operation of the Borrower's business in the exercise of the Administrative Agent's and the Lenders' rights under this Section 8.2(d). Such power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. The rights of the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.2(d) shall be subject to its prior compliance with Applicable Law to the extent applicable to the exercise of such rights. (e) Upon acceleration of the Notes, as provided in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 8.2, the Administrative Agent, upon request of the Required Lenders, shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and the Borrower, for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection therewith. The rights of the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.2(e) shall be subject to its prior compliance with Applicable Law to the extent applicable to the exercise of such rights. (f) The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder shall be cumulative, and not exclusive. Section 8.3 Payments Subsequent to Declaration of Event of Default. Subsequent to the acceleration of the Loans under Section 8.2 hereof, payments and prepayments under this Agreement made to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or otherwise received by any of such Persons (from realization on Collateral for the Obligations or otherwise) shall be paid over 87

to the Administrative Agent (if necessary) and distributed by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the Administrative Agent's reasonable costs and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the collection of such payment or prepayment, including, without limitation, any reasonable costs incurred by it in connection with the sale or disposition of any Collateral for the Obligations and all amounts under Section 11.2(b) and (c) hereof; second, to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent on a pro rata basis, based on all such amounts then due and payable for any fees and expenses hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents then due and payable; third, to the Lenders pro rata, to the payment of any unpaid interest which may have accrued on the Obligations; fourth, to the Lenders on a pro rata basis, based on the Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations then outstanding until all Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations have been paid in full (and, for purposes of this clause, Interest Rate Hedge Obligations shall be paid to the counterparty thereof on a pro rata basis with the Loans); provided that the portion of such payment allocated to any outstanding undrawn Letters of Credit shall be deposited as set forth in Section 8.2(a) or (b) hereof; fifth, to the Lenders on a pro rata basis, based on the Loans outstanding to the payment of any other unpaid Obligations; sixth, to damages incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, or any of them, by reason of any breach hereof or of any other Loan Document (on a pro rata basis, based on all such amounts then due and payable); and seventh, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by law. ARTICLE 9 The Administrative Agent Section 9.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes, and hereby agrees that it will require any transferee of any of its interest in its portion of the Loans and in its Note irrevocably to appoint and authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such actions as its agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as are delegated by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Neither the Administrative Agent, nor any of its respective directors, officers, employees or agents, shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judicial order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Section 9.2 Interest Holders. The Administrative Agent may treat each Lender, or the Person designated in the last notice filed with the Administrative Agent, as the holder of all of the interests of such Lender in its portion of the Loans and in its Note until written notice of transfer, signed by such Lender (or the Person designated in the last notice filed with the Administrative Agent) and by the Person designated in such written notice of transfer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Section 9.3 Consultation with Counsel. The Administrative Agent may consult with Kennedy Covington Lobdell & Hickman, L.L.P., Charlotte, North Carolina, special counsel to the Administrative Agent, or with other legal counsel selected by it and shall not be liable for any 88

action taken or suffered by it in good faith in consultation with the Required Lenders and in reasonable reliance on such consultations. Section 9.4 Documents. The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to examine, inquire into, or pass upon the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Document, or any instrument, document or communication furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that they are valid, effective and genuine, have been signed or sent by the proper parties and are what they purport to be. Section 9.5 Administrative Agent and Affiliates. With respect to the Commitments and the Loans, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and the Administrative Agent and Affiliates of the Administrative Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any Affiliates of, or Persons doing business with the Borrower, as if they were not affiliated with the Administrative Agent and without any obligation to account therefor. Section 9.6 Responsibility of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank. The duties and obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank under this Agreement are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing unless it has actual knowledge, or has been notified in writing by the Borrower, of such fact, or has been notified by a Lender in writing that such Lender considers that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and such Lender shall specify in detail the nature thereof in writing. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank shall not be liable hereunder for any action taken or omitted to be taken except for its own respective gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judicial order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank shall provide each Lender with copies of such documents received from the Borrower as such Lender may reasonably request. Section 9.7 Action by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank. (a) Each of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to use its discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any rights which may be vested in it by, and with respect to taking or refraining from taking any action or actions which it may be able to take under or in respect of, this Agreement, unless the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank shall have been instructed by the Required Lenders to exercise or refrain from exercising such rights or to take or refrain from taking such action; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Bank shall exercise any rights under Section 8.2(a) hereof without the request of the Required Lenders (or, where expressly required, all of the Lenders) unless time is of the essence. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement with respect to anything which it may do or refrain from doing in the reasonable exercise of its judgment or which may seem to it to be necessary or desirable in the circumstances, except for its own respective gross 89

negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judicial order of a court having jurisdiction over the subject matter. (b) Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Lenders, or to any Lender, or the Borrower or any its Subsidiaries in acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or, where expressly required, all of the Lenders), and any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such instructions shall be binding on all Lenders, except for its own respective gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judicial order of a court having jurisdiction over the subject matter. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Bank shall be obligated to take any action which is contrary to law or which would in such Person's reasonable opinion subject such Person to liability. Section 9.8 Notice of Default or Event of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless it has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice a "notice of default". In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender shall acquire actual knowledge, or shall have been notified, of any Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender shall promptly notify the Lenders (provided failure to give such notice shall not result in any liability on the part of such Lender, the Issuing Bank or Administrative Agent), and the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank shall take such action and assert such rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as the Required Lenders shall request in writing, and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Bank shall be subject to any liability by reason of its acting pursuant to any such request. If the Required Lenders shall fail to request the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank to take action or to assert rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents in respect of any Default or Event of Default within ten (10) days after their receipt of the notice of any Default or Event of Default from the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, or shall request inconsistent action with respect to such Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, or either of them, may, but shall not be required to, take such action and assert such rights (other than rights under Article 8 hereof) as it deems in their or its respective discretion to be advisable for the protection of the Lenders, except that, if the Required Lenders have instructed the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank not to take such action or assert such right, in no event shall the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank act contrary to such instructions unless time is of the essence. Section 9.9 Responsibility Disclaimed. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any liability or responsibility whatsoever as Administrative Agent: (a) To the Borrower or any other Person as a consequence of any failure or delay in performance by or any breach by, any Lender or Lenders of any of its or their obligations under this Agreement; 90

(b) To any Lender or Lenders, as a consequence of any failure or delay in performance by, or any breach by, (i) the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Notes or any other Loan Document, or (ii) any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any other obligor under any other Loan Document; (c) To any Lender or Lenders, for any statements, representations or warranties in this Agreement, or any other document contemplated by this Agreement or any information provided pursuant to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document contemplated by this Agreement, or for the validity, effectiveness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Notes, any other Loan Document, or any other document contemplated by this Agreement; or (d) To any Person for any act or omission other than that arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent as determined by a final, non-appealable judicial order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Section 9.10 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) pro rata according to their respective Commitment Ratios and Incremental Facility Commitment Ratios, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses (other than the loss of principal and interest hereunder in the event of a bankruptcy or out-of-court "work-out" of the Loans), damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of experts, agents, consultants and counsel), or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document contemplated by this Agreement, except that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent as determined by a final, non-appealable judicial order of a court having jurisdiction over the subject matter. Section 9.11 Credit Decision. Each Lender represents and warrants to each other and to the Administrative Agent that: (a) In making its decision to enter into this Agreement and to make its portion of the Loans, it has independently taken whatever steps it considers necessary to evaluate the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower, that it has made an independent credit judgment, and that it has not relied upon the Administrative Agent or information provided by the Administrative Agent (other than information provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower and forwarded by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders); and (b) So long as any portion of the Loans remains outstanding or such Lender has an obligation to make its portion of Advances hereunder, it will continue to make its own independent evaluation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower.

Section 9.12 Successor Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and may be removed at any time for cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, prior to a Default, be subject to the consent of the Borrower, acting reasonably. If (a) no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders or (b) if appointed, no successor Administrative Agent shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gave notice of resignation or the Required Lenders removed the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be any Lender or a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof which has combined capital and reserves in excess of $250,000,000.00 and which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges, duties and obligations of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent the provisions of this Article 9 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent. In the event that the Administrative Agent or any of its respective affiliates ceases to be a Lender hereunder, such Person shall resign its agency hereunder. Section 9.13 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys selected by it using reasonable care, and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Section 9.14 Co-Lead Arrangers; Syndication Agent; Documentation Agent. Each of the Co-Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent in its capacity as Co-Lead Arrangers, Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent, respectively, shall have no duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. ARTICLE 10 Change in Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Advances Section 10.1 LIBOR Basis Determination Inadequate or Unfair. If with respect to any proposed LIBOR Advance for any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent determines after consultation with the Lenders that deposits in dollars (in the applicable amount) are not being offered to each of the Lenders in the relevant market for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the 2

Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such situation no longer exist, the obligations of any affected Lender to make its portion of such LIBOR Advances shall be suspended. Section 10.2 Illegality. If after the date hereof, the adoption of any Applicable Law, or any change in any Applicable Law (whether adopted before or after the Agreement Date), or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, maintain or fund its portion of LIBOR Advances, such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.2, such Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the sole reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Upon receipt of such notice, notwithstanding anything contained in Article 2 hereof, the Borrower shall repay in full the then outstanding principal amount of such Lender's portion of each affected LIBOR Advance, together with accrued interest thereon, on either (a) the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected LIBOR Advances if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund its portion of such LIBOR Advance to such day or (b) immediately if such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain its portion of such affected LIBOR Advances to such day. Concurrently with repaying such portion of each affected LIBOR Advance, the Borrower may borrow a Base Rate Advance from such Lender, whether or not it would have been entitled to effect such borrowing and such Lender shall make such Advance, if so requested, in an amount such that the outstanding principal amount of the affected Note held by such Lender shall equal the outstanding principal amount of such Note or Notes immediately prior to such repayment. Section 10.3 Increased Costs. (a) If after the date hereof, the adoption of any Applicable Law, or any change in any Applicable Law (whether adopted before or after the Agreement Date), or any interpretation or change in interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance by any Lender with any directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency: (i) shall subject any Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its obligation to make its portion of LIBOR Advances, or its portion of existing Advances, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the principal of or interest on its portion of LIBOR Advances or in respect of any other amounts due under this Agreement, in respect of its portion of LIBOR Advances or its obligation to make its portion of LIBOR Advances (except for changes in the rate or method of calculation of tax on the revenues or net income of such Lender); or 3

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any included in an applicable LIBOR Reserve Percentage), special deposit, capital adequacy, assessment or other requirement or condition against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or commitments or credit extended by, any Lender or shall impose on any Lender or the London interbank borrowing market any other condition affecting its obligation to make its portion of such LIBOR Advances or its portion of existing Advances; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any of its portion of LIBOR Advances, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, then, within ten (10) days after demand by such Lender, the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased costs. Each Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 10.3 and will designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole reasonable judgment of such Lender made in good faith, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. (b) Any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 10.3 shall provide the Borrower with a written certificate setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and calculations therefor in reasonable detail. Such certificate shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall only be obligated to compensate such Lender for any amount under this subsection arising or occurring during (i) in the case of each such request for compensation, any time or period commencing not more than ninety (90) days prior to the date on which such Lender submits such request and (ii) any other time or period during which, because of the unannounced retroactive application of such law, regulation, interpretation, request or directive, such Lender could not have known that the resulting reduction in return might arise. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. If any Lender demands compensation under this Section 10.3, the Borrower may at any time, upon at least five (5) Business Days' prior notice to such Lender, prepay in full such Lender's portion of the then outstanding LIBOR Advances, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment, along with any reimbursement required under Section 2.10 hereof. Concurrently with prepaying such portion of LIBOR Advances the Borrower may, whether or not then entitled to make such borrowing, borrow a Base Rate Advance, or a LIBOR Advance not so affected, from such Lender, and such Lender shall, if so requested, make such Advance in an amount such that the outstanding principal amount of the affected Note or Notes held by such Lender shall equal the outstanding principal amount of such Note or Notes immediately prior to such prepayment. Section 10.4 Effect On Other Advances. If notice has been given pursuant to Section 10.1, 10.2 or 10.3 hereof suspending the obligation of any Lender to make its portion of any type of LIBOR Advance, or requiring such Lender's portion of LIBOR Advances to be repaid or prepaid, then, unless and until such Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such repayment no longer apply, all amounts which would otherwise be made by such 4

Lender as its portion of LIBOR Advances shall, unless otherwise notified by the Borrower, be made instead as Base Rate Advances. Section 10.5 Claims for Increased Costs and Taxes. In the event that any Lender shall decline to make LIBOR Advances pursuant to Sections 10.1 and 10.2 hereof or shall have notified the Borrower that it is entitled to claim compensation pursuant to Section 10.3, 2.12 or 2.14(f) hereof or is unable to complete the form required or subject to withholding as provided in Section 2.13 hereof (each such lender being an "Affected Lender"), the Borrower at its own cost and expense may designate a replacement lender (a "Replacement Lender") to assume the Commitment and the obligations of any such Affected Lender hereunder, and to purchase the outstanding Loans of such Affected Lender and such Affected Lender's rights hereunder and with respect thereto, and within ten (10) Business Days of such designation the Affected Lender shall (a) sell to such Replacement Lender, without recourse upon, warranty by or expense to such Affected Lender, by way of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, for a purchase price equal to (unless such Lender agrees to a lesser amount) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans of such Affected Lender, plus all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Lender hereunder, and (b) assign the Commitment of such Affected Lender and upon such assumption and purchase by the Replacement Lender, such Replacement Lender shall be deemed to be a "Lender" for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Lender shall cease to be a "Lender" for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any obligations or rights hereunder (other than any obligations or rights which according to this Agreement shall survive the termination of the Commitment).

Section 11.3 Waivers. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders, or the Lenders, or any of them, in exercising any right, shall operate as a waiver of such right. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders expressly reserve the right to require strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement in connection with any future funding of a Request for Advance. In the event the Lenders decide to fund a Request for Advance at a time when the Borrower is not in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement, such decision by the Lenders shall not be deemed to constitute an undertaking by the Lenders to fund any further Request for Advance or preclude the Lenders or the Administrative Agent from exercising any rights available under the Loan Documents or at law or equity. Any waiver or indulgence granted by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or the Required Lenders, shall not constitute a modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent expressly provided in such waiver or indulgence, or constitute a course of dealing at variance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document such as to require further notice of their intent to require strict adherence to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document in the future. Section 11.4 Set-Off. 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 of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders are hereby authorized by the Borrower at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, including, but not limited to, Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, in each case whether matured or unmatured) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or Administrative Agent, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, all Obligations and any other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether (a) any Lender or Administrative Agent shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) any Lender or Administrative Agent shall 7

have declared the principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts due hereunder to be due and payable as permitted by Section 8.2 hereof and although such obligations and liabilities or any of them shall be contingent or unmatured. Upon direction by the Administrative Agent with the consent of all of the Lenders each Lender holding deposits of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall exercise its set-off rights as so directed. Section 11.5 Assignment. (a) The Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of each Lender. (b) Each Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with Applicable Law, sell or assign to any Lender, any Affiliate of a Lender or in the case of the Term Loans any Approved Fund and with the consent of the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and the consent of the Administrative Agent, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, assign to one or more other Eligible Assignees (any of the forgoing assignees or purchasers, a "Purchasing Lender") all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of the Advances at the time owing to it and the Notes held by it); provided that: (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the Revolving Loan Commitment and/or the Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement; (ii) if less than all of the assigning Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, is to be assigned, the Commitment so assigned shall not be less than $1,000,000.00 with respect to the Revolving Loans and $1,000,000.00 with respect to the Term Loans, unless (i) such sale or assignment is made to an existing Lender, to an Affiliate thereof, or (with respect to any Term Loan) to an Approved Fund, in which case no minimum amount shall apply or (ii) the Administrative Agent consents in writing to a lesser amount; (iii) the Purchasing Lender shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent all United States Internal Revenue Service Forms required pursuant to Section 2.13 and all of the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with (to the extent requested by any Purchasing Lender) any Note or Notes subject to such assignment; (iv) no assignment of a Revolving Loan Commitment, or participation in Letter of Credit Obligations shall be made without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the Borrower (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld); 8

(v) where consent of the Borrower to an assignment to a Purchasing Lender is required hereunder (including consent to an assignment to an Approved Fund, if applicable with respect to a Revolving Credit Commitment), the Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent five (5) Business Days after the date written notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by the Borrower prior to such fifth (5(th)) Business Day; (vi) such assignment shall not, without the consent of the Borrower, require the Borrower to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or apply to or qualify the Loans or the Notes under the blue sky laws of any state; and (vii) the assigning Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee of $3,500.00 upon the execution by such Lender of the Assignment and Assumption; provided that no such fee shall be payable upon any assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate thereof (including any affiliated Approved Funds that are funds managed by the same investment advisor); and provided further that, in any case of contemporaneous assignments by a Lender (including a group of affiliated Lenders that are funds managed by the same investment advisor) to a single assignee or more than one fund managed by the same investment advisor (which funds are not then Lenders hereunder), only a single $3,500.00 fee shall be payable for all such contemporaneous assignments. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, which effective date shall be at least five (5) Business Days after the execution thereof (unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent), (A) the Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereby and (B) the Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such assignment, be released from its obligations under this Agreement. (c) Rights and Duties Upon Assignment. By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Purchasing Lender thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption.

The Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names, addresses and Revolving Loan Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment of the Lenders and the amount of the Advances with respect to each Lender from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 9

(e) Issuance of New Notes. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and a Purchasing Lender together with any Note or Notes (if applicable) subject to such assignment and (if applicable) the written consent to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Assumption Agreement has been completed: (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption; (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register; (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower; and (iv) promptly deliver a copy of such Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Borrower. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes, a new Note or Notes to the order of such Purchasing Lender (to the extent requested thereby) in amounts equal to the Revolving Loan Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption Agreement and a new Note or Notes to the order of the assigning Lender (to the extent requested thereby) in an amount equal to the Revolving Loan Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption Agreement and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the assigned Notes delivered to the assigning Lender. Each surrendered Note or Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Lender which has not been issued a Note or Notes hereunder may at any time deliver a written request for a Note or Notes to the Administrative Agent and Borrower. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, a Note or Notes (as applicable) to the order of such Lender in amounts equal to the Revolving Loan Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment of such Lender. Upon receipt thereby, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver such Note or Notes to such Lender. (f) Participations. Each Lender may, without notice to or the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with Applicable Law, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (any such bank or other entity, a "Participant") in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Advances and the Notes held by it); provided that: (i) if less than all of the participating Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, is to be participated, each such participation shall be in an amount not less than $1,000,000.00; 10

The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article 10 and Section 11.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 11.5; provided that a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Article 10 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent and such Participant shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent all United States Internal Revenue Service Forms required pursuant to Section 2.13. (g) Disclosure of Information; Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall hold all non-public information with respect to the Borrower obtained pursuant to the Loan Documents (or any Interest Rate Hedge Agreement with a Lender or the Administrative Agent) in accordance with their customary procedures for handling confidential information; provided, that the Administrative Agent may disclose information relating to this Agreement to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications and provided further, that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may disclose any such information to the extent such disclosure is (i) required by law or requested or required pursuant to any legal process, (ii) 11

Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment, proposed assignment, participation or proposed participation pursuant to this Section 11.5, disclose to the Purchasing Lender, proposed Purchasing Lender, Participant, proposed Participant, or to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty's professional advisor any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided, that prior to any such disclosure, each such Purchasing Lender, proposed Purchasing Lender, Participant or proposed Participant, contractual counterparty or professional advisor shall agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 11.5(g). (h) Certain Pledges or Assignments. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. Section 11.6 Accounting Principles. All references in this Agreement to GAAP shall be to such principles as in effect from time to time. All accounting terms used herein without definition shall be used as defined under GAAP.

Section 11.10 Interest. (a) In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable hereunder or under the Notes exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law, and in the event any such payment is inadvertently made by the Borrower or inadvertently received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, in writing, that it elects to have such excess sum returned forthwith. It is the express intent hereof that the Borrower not pay and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may legally be paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law. (b) Notwithstanding the use by the Lenders of the Base Rate and the LIBOR as reference rates for the determination of interest on the Loans, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to obtain funds from any particular source in order to charge interest to the Borrower at interest rates related to such reference rates.
