2. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY.

2.1. Amounts Available for Borrowing.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, from time to time during the Revolving Credit Availability Period, Borrower may request and Lender may advance to Borrower Loans hereunder in available funds, denominated in Dollars, by following the procedures for requesting Loans set forth in this §2.1, provided that the sum of the outstanding principal amount of all Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested) shall not at any time exceed the Maximum Aggregate Available Loan Amount in effect at such time, and further provided that Lender (in its sole and absolute discretion) may honor or refuse to honor any such request in whole or in part.

(b) To request the advance of a Loan hereunder, Borrower shall notify Lender in writing in the form of Exhibit A hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing with such form) of each Loan requested hereunder (a “Loan Request”) (i) no later than 2:00 p.m., New York time, on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Prime Rate Loan and (ii) no later than 2:00 p.m., New York time, on the date that is one (1) Eurodollar Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date for any LIBOR Loan. Each such notice shall specify (A) the principal amount of the Loan requested, (B) the proposed Drawdown Date of such Loan, and (C) whether such Loan shall be a Prime Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan (and, if the requested Loan is a LIBOR Loan, the initial Interest Period for such Loan). Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower and shall obligate Borrower to accept the Loan requested from Lender on the proposed Drawdown Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, subject to the provisions of this §2.1 and so long as no Event of Default is continuing, Borrower may make Loan Requests for additional Loans prior to the repayment of any previously outstanding Loans, and the proceeds of such additional Loans may be for any permitted purpose, including the repayment (or refinancing) of Loans previously made. Each Loan Request for a Prime Rate Loan shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $100,000, and each Loan Request for a LIBOR Loan shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $250,000. There shall not be more than three (3) outstanding Loans that are LIBOR Loans at any time.

(c) The obligation of Borrower to repay to Lender the principal of the Loans and interest accrued thereon, at the request of Lender, may be evidenced by one or more promissory notes (collectively, the “Note”) in a stated aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Maximum Aggregate Available Loan Amount, executed and delivered by Borrower and payable to the order of Lender, in form and substance substantially similar to Exhibit B hereto or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Lender and Borrower. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note or any other Loan Document which is not of public record and, in the case of any such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation, upon cancellation of such Note or other Loan Document, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement note (in the same principal amount and otherwise of like tenor) or other Loan Documents.

(d) Lender shall record in a register each Loan from time to time advanced, the Maturity Date thereof and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount thereof.

-8-

Any such recordation shall be presumed correct and binding on Borrower and Lender, absent manifest error; provided that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans.

2.2. Conversion Options.

2.2.1. Conversion to Different Type of Revolving Credit Loan. Borrower from time to time at the end of the then-current Interest Period for such Loan may elect to convert any outstanding Loan from a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan or from a LIBOR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan by giving notice thereof to Lender (a “Conversion Request”) indicating the relevant Loan and the amount thereof that is to be so converted, provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan, Borrower shall give Lender at least one (1) Eurodollar Business Day prior written notice of such election and shall specify the initial Interest Period that is to be applicable with respect thereto, and (ii) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Loan (without Lender’s prior consent) while any Event of Default is continuing, and (iii) no such conversion shall extend the Maturity Date of the relevant Loan. All or any part of the outstanding Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that partial conversions of Prime Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $250,000, and partial conversions of LIBOR Loans to Prime Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $100,000. Each Conversion Request relating to the conversion of a Loan to a LIBOR Loan shall be irrevocable by Borrower.

2.2.2. Continuation of Type of Loan. Any Prime Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration or termination of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by Borrower with the provisions contained in §2.2.1; provided that no LIBOR Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a Prime Rate Loan on the last day of the first Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any such Event of Default and shall remain a Prime Rate Loan even if such Event of Default shall be cured until the end of the then-current Interest Period. If Borrower fails to provide any such notice with respect to the continuation or conversion of any Loan as such, then (i) any such LIBOR Loan shall be automatically continued as a LIBOR Loan on the last day of the then-current Interest Period relating thereto for an Interest Period of the same duration as the Interest Period ending on such last day, provided that, if such a continuation would result in an Interest Period that would extend beyond the Maturity Date of such LIBOR Loan, then such LIBOR Loan shall automatically be converted to a LIBOR Loan for the longest permitted Interest Period that does not extend beyond the Maturity Date for such LIBOR Loan (or, if no such Interest Period exists, then to a Prime Rate Loan) on such last day, and (ii) any such Prime Rate Loan shall be automatically continued as a Prime Rate Loan. No continuation referred to in this §2.2.2 shall extend the Maturity Date of the relevant Loan.

2.2.3. LIBOR Loans. Any conversion to or from any LIBOR Loan and any continuation of any LIBOR Loan shall be in such amounts and shall be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all LIBOR Loans having the same Interest Period shall not be less than $250,000.

2.3. Interest.

2.3.1. In General. So long as no Event of Default is continuing, (i) each Loan that is a LIBOR Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate of two percent (2.00%) per annum above the LIBOR determined for such Interest Period and (ii) each Loan that is a Prime Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of

-9-

the Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate of one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum above the Prime Rate. Borrower promises to pay interest on the Loans or any portion thereof outstanding during each Interest Period in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable to such Interest Period.

2.3.2. Default Interest. Any payment of principal or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) interest on the Loans that is past due by more than five (5) Business Days, at the election of Lender and upon notification thereof to Borrower, shall bear interest (payable on demand in respect of overdue amounts) at a rate that is equal two percent (2%) per annum in excess of the rate of interest then in effect pursuant to §2.3.1 with respect to each then-outstanding Loan until such amount is paid in full in immediately available funds.

2.3.3. Interest Rate Limitation. If, at any time, the rate of interest, together with all amounts that constitute interest and that are reserved, charged or taken by Lender as compensation for fees, services or expenses incidental to the making, negotiating or collection of the Loans evidenced hereby shall be deemed by any competent court of law, governmental agency or tribunal to exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by Lender to Borrower under applicable law, then, during such time as such rate of interest would be deemed excessive, that portion of each sum paid attributable to that portion of such interest rate that exceeds the maximum rate of interest so permitted shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment of principal; provided, however, that if there is a change in the law that results in a higher permissible rate of interest, then this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date.

2.4. Repayment.

2.4.1. Repayment at Maturity and Other Mandatory Repayments. Borrower hereby agrees to pay Lender on the applicable Maturity Date for each Loan advanced to Borrower hereunder pursuant to §2.1 the entire unpaid principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, such Loan; provided that all Obligations, if not subject to an earlier Maturity Date in accordance with this Agreement or if not previously accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to §9, shall be due and payable on the Final Maturity Date. If at any time the outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall exceed the Maximum Aggregate Available Loan Amount at such time, then Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of such excess to Lender for application to the Loans, to be applied in the chronological order of maturity, plus all accrued interest thereon.

2.4.2. Optional Repayment; Notice; Reborrowing; Etc. Borrower may elect to prepay the outstanding principal of all or any part of any Loan, without premium or penalty, in a minimum amount of $250,000 with respect to prepayment of any LIBOR Loan and in a minimum amount of $100,000 with respect to prepayment of any Prime Rate Loan, provided that any full or partial prepayment of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Loans made on any date other than the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto shall be subject to §3.5. Borrower shall give Lender prior written notice of any proposed prepayment of any Loan pursuant to this §2.4.2, which notice shall be given no later than 2:00 p.m. New York time at least one (1) Eurodollar Business Day prior to any proposed prepayment of any LIBOR Loan. Each such notice shall specify the proposed date of such prepayment and the amount to be prepaid. Borrower shall be entitled to reborrow such amounts at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Availability Period upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement. Each repayment or prepayment of principal of any Loan shall be accompanied by payment of the unpaid interest accrued to such date on the principal being repaid or prepaid.

2.4.3. Reduction or Termination of Maximum Aggregate Available Loan Amount. At any time and from time to time, Borrower may elect to reduce the Maximum Aggregate Available Loan Amount by a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof, and/or Borrower may elect to terminate the Maximum Aggregate Available Loan Amount (thereby terminating its right to request further advances of Loan hereunder), in each case upon written notice to Lender given by 2:00 p.m., New York time, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such reduction or termination; provided, however, that, without the prior consent of Lender, Borrower shall not be entitled to reinstate the Maximum Aggregate Available Loan Amount following such reduction or termination.

2.4.4. Increase of Maximum Aggregate Available Loan Amount. Unless an Event of Default is continuing, Borrower may request, by giving written notice to Lender, that the Maximum Aggregate Available Loan Amount be increased up to an amount not to exceed $50,000,000. Lender, at its sole discretion and without any obligation to accept such request, shall accept or deny such requested increase by confirming its decision with respect thereto to Borrower in writing within ten (10) Business Days after any such request. Failure by Lender to respond to any such request by Borrower within such 10-day period shall be deemed to be equivalent to a written denial by Lender.

3. CHANGES IN CIRCUMSTANCES, ETC.

3.1. Inability to Determine LIBOR. If, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any LIBOR Loan, Lender shall reasonably determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR that would otherwise determine the rate of interest to be applicable to any LIBOR Loan during any Interest Period, then Lender shall forthwith give written notice of such determination to Borrower. In such event (i) any Loan Request or Conversion Request with respect to any LIBOR Loan shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for a Prime Rate Loan, (ii) each LIBOR Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period thereof, become a Prime Rate Loan, and (iii) the obligation of Lender to make additional LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon Lender shall so notify Borrower.

3.2. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Loans, then Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to Borrower and thereupon (i) the commitment of Lender to make additional LIBOR Loans or convert Prime Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (ii) the Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Prime Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law.

3.3. Change in Circumstances. If, on or after the date hereof, Lender determines that (i) the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law, regulation, treaty or directive or the interpretation or application thereof (whether or not having the force of law), or (ii) compliance by Lender with any newly adopted or change in any applicable regulatory guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), (A) shall subject Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Loan or any Note, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender of the principal of or interest on, any Loans or in respect of any other amounts due under this Agreement (other than with respect to taxes based upon Lender’s net income), or (B) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any such requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any LIBOR Loan any such requirement included in an applicable Eurocurrency Reserve Rate) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Lender, or shall impose on Lender or the London interbank market any other condition

-11-

affecting the Loans or the Note, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan, to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender under this Agreement or under the Note with respect to any LIBOR Loan, or to require Lender to make any payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Loan, by an amount reasonably deemed by Lender to be material, then, upon written demand by Lender with a statement setting forth the amount and calculation thereof, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

3.4. Certificate. A certificate setting forth any additional amounts payable pursuant to §3.3 and a brief explanation of such amounts that are due, submitted by Lender to Borrower, shall be presumed correct, absent manifest error, that such amounts are owed. All additional amounts payable pursuant to §3.3 shall be due and payable fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by Borrower of such certificate.

3.5. Indemnity. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any actual, direct cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits or yield) that Lender may sustain as a consequence of (a) Borrower’s failure to pay the principal amount of any LIBOR Loan as and when due or the payment of any LIBOR Loan on a date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (b) default by Borrower in making a borrowing or conversion after Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Loan Request or a Conversion Request relating thereto in accordance with §2.1(b) or §2.2, or (c) the making of any payment of a LIBOR Loan or the making of any conversion of any such LIBOR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect thereto, including interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain any such LIBOR Loans.

4. PAYMENTS.

All payments to be made by Borrower hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at Lender’s Domestic Lending Office, or such other place as Lender from time to time may specify in writing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York time, without set-off or counterclaim and without any withholding or deduction for any taxes or other payments whatsoever. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day that is not a Business Day, then the due date of such payment shall be automatically extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall include the computation of interest and fees in connection with such payment. All computations of interest payable hereunder shall be made by Lender on the basis of actual days elapsed and on a 360-day year (provided that the computation of interest payable on Loans bearing interest at the Prime Rate shall be made by Lender on the basis of actual days elapsed and on a 365/6-day year). All payments shall be applied first to the payment of all fees, expenses and other amounts due to Lender (excluding principal and interest), then to accrued interest that is due and payable and the balance on account of outstanding principal; provided, however, that during the continuance of any Event of Default, payments will be applied to the Obligations as Lender determines in its sole discretion.

5. COLLATERAL SECURITY.

5.1. Security of Borrower.

5.1.1. Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in all of Borrower’s right, title, and interest in all currently existing and hereafter acquired or arising Collateral in order to secure the prompt and full repayment of any and all of the

-12-

Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Borrower shall ensure that the security interest granted hereby at all times shall be a valid perfected and enforceable security interest in the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof to the extent that a security interest in the Collateral can be perfected by the filing of a UCC-1 financing statement in the appropriate filing office or offices. Borrower further agrees that the Collateral shall not at any time be subject to any Lien that is prior to, on a parity with, or junior to, the security interest granted hereby other than Permitted Liens.

5.1.2. Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender, at any time and from time to time, to file in the appropriate filing office or offices an initial financing statement and any amendments thereto that (a) indicates the Collateral as the collateral security for the Obligations and (b) provides any other information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including whether Borrower is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to Borrower. Borrower agrees to furnish any such information to Lender promptly upon request.

5.1.3. Other Actions. To facilitate the attachment and perfection (subject to Permitted Liens) of, and the ability of Lender to enforce Lender’s Liens hereunder, at any time and from time to time, upon receipt of a written request from Lender, Borrower agrees (at Borrower’s expense) to use commercially reasonable best efforts to take any and all other actions as Lender may determine to be necessary or reasonably useful for the attachment and perfection of, and the ability of Lender to enforce, Lender’s Lien in any and all of the Collateral, including (a) executing, delivering and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments relating thereto under the UCC, to the extent (if any) that Borrower’s signature thereon is required therefor, (b) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment or perfection of, or ability of Lender to enforce, Lender’s security interest in such Collateral, (c) obtaining governmental and other third party waivers, consents and approvals, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, including any consent of any licensor, lessor or other Person having rights in the Collateral, and/or (d) notifying account debtors of Borrower that the accounts, chattel paper and/or general intangibles constituting Collateral have been collaterally assigned to Lender or that Lender has a perfected security interest therein.

5.1.4. Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes, and appoints Lender (and any of Lender’s officers, employees, or agents designated by Lender) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney (which appointment shall be effective so long as an Event of Default shall continue), with power to (in each case, solely with respect to the Collateral) (a) if Borrower refuses to, or fails timely to execute and deliver any of the documents described in §5.1.3(a), sign the name of Borrower on any of the documents described in §5.1.3(a), and/or (b) if Borrower refuses to, or fails timely to execute and deliver any of the documents described in §5.1.3(d), sign Borrower’s name on any invoice, drafts against account debtors, or notices to account debtors, in each instance, with respect to the Collateral, and/or (c) endorse Borrower’s name on any collection item relating to the Collateral that may come into Lender’s possession. The appointment of Lender as Borrower’s attorney, and each and every one of Lender’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully and finally paid in immediately available funds and either the Revolving Credit Availability Period has expired or the Maximum Aggregate Available Loan Amount has been terminated.

5.1.5. Right to Inspect. At any time and from time to time upon reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours, Lender (through any of its respective officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right (subject to the confidentiality restrictions as provided in §12) to inspect the

-13-

Collateral and operations of Borrower in order to verify Borrower’s financial condition or the amount, quality, value, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral. Up to one such inspection by Lender during any twelve (12) consecutive calendar month period while no Event of Default is occurring and an additional such inspection upon the occurrence of any one or more Events of Default shall be at Borrower’s expense.

5.2. Release of Security. If any part of the Collateral is at any time or from time to time sold, assigned, participated, pledged, or otherwise disposed of or encumbered to, in favor of or in connection with an Other Funding Facility (including, any transfer of Collateral to a Subsidiary of Borrower in connection therewith) or otherwise sold, assigned, participated or disposed of to any Person (including to the issuer of such Collateral, whether structured as a redemption, repayment, put, sale or other disposition) other than a Subsidiary of Borrower, then the Liens (if any) in favor of Lender on such Collateral granted pursuant to this §5 shall be automatically released provided that Lender’s Lien thereon (if any) shall thereupon automatically attach to the proceeds received by Borrower in connection with such transaction if and to the extent such proceeds constitute Collateral hereunder. In connection with any such release of Lien, Lender shall execute and deliver to Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary, as applicable, all releases or other documents (including UCC partial releases) and shall take such other actions as Borrower may believe to be necessary or reasonably desirable to effect the release of such Liens. Notwithstanding anything in this §5.2 to the contrary, at no time shall the amount of Collateral (determined on a fair market value basis) subject to first priority perfected Liens in favor of Lender be less than 200% of the amount owed hereunder to Lender at such time.

Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral for the Obligations, any deposits or other sums credited by or due from Lender to solely to Borrower may be applied to or set off against any principal, interest and any other amounts due from Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL THAT SECURES THE LOANS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF

-22-

SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

11. MISCELLANEOUS.

Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender and its officers, employees, affiliates, agents, and controlling persons (the “Indemnitees”) from and against all claims, damages, liabilities and losses of every kind arising out of the Loan Documents, including against those in respect of the application of Environmental Laws to Borrower, except as and to the extent that any such claims, damages, liabilities and losses result from the gross negligence, intentional misconduct, willful misfeasance, or bad faith of any Indemnitee or from the reckless disregard by any Indemnitee with respect to its obligations or duties under the Loan Documents. Borrower shall pay to Lender promptly on demand all actual out-of-pocket reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the administration, default, collection, waiver or enforcement of any of its rights or remedies hereunder (it being agreed that Borrower shall have no obligation to pay the fees of outside legal counsel or the allocated costs of in-house legal counsel with respect to the preparation, negotiation, execution or administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents). Any communication to be made hereunder (a) shall be made in writing, but (unless otherwise stated) may be made by facsimile transmission or letter, and (b) shall be made or delivered to the address of the party receiving notice that is identified with its signature below (unless such party has by five (5) days written notice at any time specified another address), and shall be deemed made or delivered, (i) when left at that address, (ii) when delivered by facsimile to such address or (iii) five (5) days after being mailed, postage prepaid, to such address. This Agreement may not be amended or waived except by a written instrument signed by Borrower and Lender, and any such amendment or waiver shall be effective only for the specific purpose given. No failure or delay by Lender to exercise any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other right, power or privilege. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any one provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such provision in such jurisdiction. This Agreement, together with all Schedules hereto, expresses the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes all prior proposals, negotiations, agreements and understandings relating to such transactions. Borrower certifies that it is relying on no representation, warranty, covenant or agreement except for those (if any) set forth in the Loan Documents. This Agreement and any amendment hereby may be executed and delivered in several counterparts and by facsimile, each of which shall be an effective and enforceable original, and all of which shall constitute one agreement. In proving this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce more than one such counterpart executed by the party to be charged. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ARE CONTRACTS UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCLUDING THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW), EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST GRANTED HEREUNDER, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE THEREWITH AND GOVERNED THEREBY. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING THEREIN.

-23-

12. CONFIDENTIALITY.

The parties hereto agree that the confidentiality agreement executed on February 6, 2004, attached hereto as Exhibit C will remain in full force and effect during the entire term of this agreement.

13. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, ETC.

BORROWER AND LENDER MUTUALLY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY, INCLUDING ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENT OR ACTIONS OF LENDER RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE LOANS OR ENFORCEMENT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREE THAT NEITHER PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR EACH PARTY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE ARRANGEMENTS HEREUNDER.

14. BENEFITS OF AGREEMENT, PARTICIPATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS.

(i) This Agreement is a continuing obligation and binds, and the benefits hereof shall inure to, Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns provided that Borrower may not transfer or assign any or all of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender. No other person or entity shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise have any rights by reason of any provision of any Loan Document.

(ii) Lender, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time, without the consent of Borrower, may sell to participants who are Eligible Transferees (other than to any competitor of Borrower) participating interests in any Loans, the Note or the Loan Documents or any other interests of Lender hereunder. Borrower agrees that each permissible participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11 with respect to its participation, not in the aggregate greater than would have been payable to the original Lender.

(iii) Lender, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time, without the consent of Borrower, may assign to one or more assignees who are Eligible Transferees (including any Federal Reserve Bank) (other than to any competitor of Borrower) any Note, any amounts owing to Lender hereunder, or any other interest of Lender hereunder or under the Loan Documents. Borrower and Lender agree that, to the extent of any assignment, the assignee shall be deemed to have the same rights and benefits with respect to Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as it would have had if it were Lender hereunder.

(iv) Borrower authorizes Lender to disclose to any participant or assignee and any prospective participant or assignee any and all financial and related information in Lender’s possession concerning Borrower that has been delivered to Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered

-24-

to Lender by Borrower in connection with Lender’s credit evaluation of Borrower provided, however, that, such participant or assignee or prospective participant or assignee receiving such information shall have first entered into a separate confidentiality agreement directly with Borrower substantially similar to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.
