RECITALS

WHEREAS, Borrower, the other Credit Parties signatory thereto, General Electric Capital Corporation, as First Lien Agent for the lenders signatory thereto from time to time (the “ First Lien Lenders ”) and the First Lien Lenders are parties to that Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the “ First Lien Credit Agreement ”), pursuant to which the First Lien Lenders extended to Borrower revolving and term credit facilities thereunder of up to One Hundred Sixty-Five Million Dollars ($165,000,000) (collectively, the “ First Lien Loans ”) for the purpose of (a) funding the repayment of the balance of the outstanding amounts under the Prior Credit Agreement (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) and the redemption of the Borrower’s Prior Senior Subordinated Notes (as defined below) and the payment of related transaction costs and expenses and (b) the other purposes provided therein;

WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that SCIL Lenders extend a SCIL Loan facility to Borrower of Forty-Five Million Dollars ($45,000,000) for the purposes of (a) funding the redemption of the Borrower’s Prior Senior Subordinated Notes (as defined below) and the payment of related transaction costs and expenses and (b) the other purposes provided herein; and for these purposes, SCIL Lenders are willing to make such a loan to Borrower in such amount upon the terms and conditions set forth herein;

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

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

1.              AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT

(a)            SCIL Loan .

(i)             Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each SCIL Lender agrees to make a term loan (collectively, the “ SCIL Loan ”) on the Closing Date to Borrower in the original principal amount of its SCIL Loan Commitment.  The obligations of each SCIL Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint.  The SCIL Loan shall be evidenced by

promissory notes substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(a) (each a “ SCIL Note ” and collectively the “ SCIL Notes ”), and, except as provided in Section 1.12 , Borrower shall execute and deliver each SCIL Note to the applicable SCIL Lender.  Each SCIL Note shall represent the obligation of Borrower to pay the amount of the applicable SCIL Lender’s SCIL Loan Commitment, together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 1.5 .

Borrower shall repay the principal amount of the SCIL Loan in a single installment due on June 29, 2011.

(ii)            Notwithstanding Section 1.1(b)(ii) , the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the SCIL Loan shall be due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Scheduled Termination Date, if not sooner paid in full.  No payment with respect to the SCIL Loan may be reborrowed.

(iii)           Each payment of principal with respect to the SCIL Loan shall be paid to SCIL Agent for the ratable benefit of each SCIL Lender, ratably in proportion to each such SCIL Lender’s respective SCIL Loan Commitment.

(b)            Reliance on Notices .  SCIL Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Notice of Conversion/Continuation or similar notice reasonably believed by SCIL Agent to be genuine.  SCIL Agent may assume that each Person executing and delivering any notice in accordance herewith was duly authorized, unless the responsible individual acting thereon for SCIL Agent has actual knowledge to the contrary.

1.2            [Intentionally Omitted] .

1.3            Prepayments.

(a)            Voluntary Prepayments; Reductions in SCIL Loan Commitments .  To the extent not prohibited by the First Lien Credit Agreement, Borrower may at any time on at least three (3) days’ prior written notice to SCIL Agent (i) voluntarily prepay all or part of the SCIL Loan; provided that (A) any such prepayments or reductions shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of such amount.  Any such voluntary prepayment must be accompanied by the payment of the Fee required by Section 1.9(b) if any, plus the payment of any applicable LIBOR funding breakage costs in accordance with Section 1.13(b) .

(b)            Mandatory Prepayments .

(i)             [ Intentionally Omitted ].

(ii)            Following (but not before) the payment in full in cash of all First Lien Loans, the complete discharge of all First Lien Obligations (including the cash collateralization, cancellation or backing by standby letters of credit of all Letters of Credit Obligations under and as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) and the termination of all Commitments under and as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement (such events, collectively, a “ First Lien Payment Event ”), immediately upon receipt by Borrower or any Secured Guarantor of any proceeds of any cash asset disposition (excluding proceeds of asset dispositions permitted

2

by Section 6.8(a) ) to the extent the net cash proceeds of such asset disposition exceed $250,000 in any single transaction or, when added to the net proceeds of all other asset dispositions (other than asset dispositions permitted by Section 6.8(a) ) during a Fiscal Year, exceed $500,000, Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an amount equal to all such proceeds, net of (A) commissions and other reasonable transaction costs (including reasonable relocation costs), fees and expenses properly attributable to such transaction and payable by Borrower or any Secured Guarantor in connection therewith (in each case, paid to non-Affiliates), (B) transfer taxes, (C) amounts payable to holders of senior Liens (to the extent such Liens constitute Permitted Encumbrances hereunder), if any, (D) appropriate reserves for income taxes payable in cash in connection therewith and any adjustment in respect of the sale price of such assets(s) specified by the definitive documents evidencing such sale (so long as any such unused sale price reserve is applied at the end of the applicable adjustment period as a mandatory prepayment hereunder) and (E) any portion of the purchase price held in escrow (so long as such escrowed funds, upon release to any Credit Party, are applied as a mandatory prepayment hereunder); provided, that if Borrower or the applicable Secured Guarantor intends to reinvest all or any portion of the net proceeds of any asset disposition within 270 days thereafter in fixed assets and Borrower promptly notifies SCIL Agent of that intention in writing, and if (x) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the date of such written notification, and (y) Borrower or such Secured Guarantor, as the case may be, grants a security interest to SCIL Agent in such replacement assets when acquired (subject in priority to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations in the manner set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement), then the amount of any such mandatory prepayment shall be reduced by the amount to be reinvested; provided , further that if and to the extent that Borrower or such Secured Guarantor, as the case may be, does not reinvest such net proceeds within that 270-day period, Borrower shall then repay the SCIL Loan with net proceeds that have not been reinvested on the last day of such 270-day period.  Any prepayment pursuant to this Section 1.3(b)(ii) shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.3(c) .

(iii)           Following (but not before) a First Lien Payment Event, if Borrower or any Secured Guarantor shall suffer any Event of Loss, then such Person shall (A) promptly notify the SCIL Agent of such Event of Loss with anticipated net proceeds in excess of $1,000,000 (including the amount of the estimated net insurance proceeds net of amounts payable to holders of senior Liens (to the extent such Liens constitute Permitted Encumbrances hereunder, if any) or other awards payable in connection with such Event of Loss) and (B) promptly upon receipt of such proceeds by such Person, Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an amount equal to such proceeds net of (x) all money actually applied (or held in reserve pending such application) to repair or reconstruct the damaged property or property affected by condemnation or taking but subject to the terms of Section 5.4(c) , (y) all out-of-pocket transaction costs and (z) related cash taxes.  Any prepayment pursuant to this Section 1.3(b)(iii) shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.3(c) .

(iv)           Following (but not before) a First Lien Payment Event, proceeds of Keyman Life Insurance pledged to the SCIL Agent shall be immediately used to prepay the Obligations in an amount equal to such proceeds, which shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.3(c) .

(v)            To the extent not prohibited by the First Lien Credit Agreement, if Holdings or Borrower issues Stock, no later than the Business Day following the date of receipt of any cash proceeds thereof net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs, fees and expenses paid to non-Affiliates in connection therewith, Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an amount , if any, required pursuant to Section 5.8 .  Any prepayments pursuant to Section 5.8 shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.3(c) .

(vi)           Following (but not before) a First Lien Payment Event, until the Termination Date, Borrower shall prepay the Obligations on the date that is ten (10) days after the earlier of (A) the date on which Borrower’s annual audited Financial Statements for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year (commencing with the Fiscal Year of 2004 as such immediately preceding Year) are delivered pursuant to Annex D or (B) the 15th day after the date on which such annual audited Financial Statements were required to be delivered pursuant to Annex D , in an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of Excess Cash Flow for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year.  If Holdings and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis maintain a ratio of (i) Funded Debt measured as of the last day of any Fiscal Year to (ii) EBITDA for the four Fiscal Quarters then ended of less than 4.25 to 1.00 but more than 3.75 to 1.00, the Excess Cash Flow percentage shall be equal to fifty percent (50%) for that Fiscal Year.  If Holdings and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis maintain a ratio of (i) Funded Debt measured as of the last day of any Fiscal Year to (ii) EBITDA for the four Fiscal Quarters then ended equal to or less than 3.75 to 1.00, the Excess Cash Flow percentage shall be equal to twenty-five percent (25%) for that Fiscal Year.  Any prepayments from Excess Cash Flow paid pursuant to this clause (vi) shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.3(c) .  Each such prepayment shall be accompanied by an Officer Certificate of Borrower’s Chief Financial Officer or another responsible officer of Borrower having substantially the same authority and responsibility or otherwise acceptable to SCIL Agent, certifying the manner in which Excess Cash Flow and the resulting prepayment were calculated, which certificate shall be in form and substance satisfactory to SCIL Agent.

(c)            Application of Mandatory Prepayments and Prepayments from Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds .  Any prepayments made by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 1.3(b)(ii) , 1.3(b)(iv) , 1.3(b)(v) (by reference to Section 5.8 ), or 1.3(b)(vi) , and any prepayments from insurance or condemnation proceeds in connection with an Event of Loss in accordance with Sections 1.3(b)(iii) and 5.4(c) and the Mortgages shall be applied as follows: first , to Fees and reimbursable expenses of SCIL Agent then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; second , to interest then due and payable on the SCIL Loan; third , to prepay the principal of the SCIL Loan; and fourth , to any other outstanding Obligations.

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

1.4            Use of Proceeds.   Borrower shall utilize the proceeds of the SCIL Loan for the Refinancing and any related transaction costs, fees and expenses, for the financing of Borrower’s ordinary working capital and general corporate needs and for any other purpose not prohibited hereunder, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.  Disclosure Schedule (1.4) contains a description of Borrower’s sources and uses of funds as of the Closing Date,

4

including SCIL Loan to be made or incurred on that date, and a funds flow memorandum detailing how funds from each source are to be transferred to particular uses.

1.5            Interest .

(a)            Borrower shall pay interest to SCIL Agent, for the ratable benefit of SCIL Lenders on the outstanding principal balance of the SCIL Loan, in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date, (i) at the Index Rate plus 7.25% per annum or (ii) at the election of Borrower, the applicable LIBOR Rate plus 8.50% per annum.

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

(c)            All computations of Fees calculated on a per annum basis and interest shall be made by SCIL Agent on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest and Fees are payable.  The Index Rate is a floating rate determined for each day.  Each determination by SCIL Agent of an interest rate and Fees hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive on Borrower, absent manifest error.

(d)            So long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 8.1(a), (h) or (i) , or so long as any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and at the election of SCIL Agent (or upon the written request of Requisite SCIL Lenders) confirmed by written notice from SCIL Agent to Borrower, the interest rates applicable to the SCIL Loan shall be increased by two percentage points (2%) per annum above the rates of interest or the rate of such Fees otherwise applicable hereunder (“ Default Rate ”).  Interest at the Default Rate shall accrue from the initial date of such Event of Default if such Event of Default arose under Section 8.1(a), (h) or (i) or from the date of the delivery of the written notice from SCIL Agent to Borrower for all other Events of Default, until that Event of Default is cured or waived and shall be payable upon demand.

(e)            Subject to the conditions precedent set forth in the last sentence of this Section 1.5(e) , Borrower shall have the option to (i) convert at any time all or any part of outstanding SCIL Loan from Index Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans, (ii) convert any LIBOR Loan to an Index Rate Loan, subject to payment of LIBOR breakage costs in accordance with Section 1.13(b) if such conversion is made prior to the expiration of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto, or (iii) continue all or any portion of the SCIL Loan as a LIBOR Loan upon the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Period and the succeeding LIBOR Period of that continued SCIL Loan shall commence on the first day after the last day of the LIBOR Period of the Loan to be continued.  Any portion of the SCIL Loan having the same proposed LIBOR Period to be made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Loan must be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess of such amount.  Any such election must be made by 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the 3rd Business Day prior to (1) the end of each LIBOR Period with respect to any LIBOR Loans to be continued as such, or (2) the date on which Borrower wishes to convert any Index Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan for a LIBOR

5

Period designated by Borrower in such election.  If no election is received with respect to a LIBOR Loan by 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the 3rd Business Day prior to the end of the LIBOR Period with respect thereto (or if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if the additional conditions precedent set forth in the last sentence of this Section 1.5(e) shall not have been satisfied), that LIBOR Loan shall be converted to an Index Rate Loan at the end of its LIBOR Period.  Borrower must make such election by notice to SCIL Agent in writing, by telecopy or overnight courier.  In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “ Notice of Conversion/Continuation ”) in the form of Exhibit 1.5(e) .  Neither the SCIL Loan nor any portion thereof may be made as or converted into a LIBOR Loan until the earlier of (i) 45 days after the Closing Date and (ii) completion of the “Primary Syndication” under and as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no SCIL Lender shall be obligated to convert or continue the SCIL Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan (and the SCIL Loan Commitments referenced in Section 2.2 shall not be increased) if, as of the date thereof (A) any representation or warranty by any Credit Party contained herein or in any other Loan Document is untrue or incorrect as of such date in any material respect, except to the extent that such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date and except for changes therein expressly permitted or expressly contemplated by this Agreement, and SCIL Agent or Requisite SCIL Lenders have determined not to convert or continue the SCIL Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan as a result of the fact that such warranty or representation is untrue or incorrect; (B) any event or circumstance (i) having a Material Adverse Effect as set forth in clauses (c) or (d) of the definition thereof or (ii) which could reasonably be expected to result in costs, liabilities or damages, individually or in the aggregate, to any Credit Party or Credit Parties in an amount that would have caused any of the Financial Covenants to have been breached if such event or occurrence had occurred and such costs, liabilities or damages had been paid on the first day of the Fiscal Quarter most recently ended or (iii) which results in an uninsured loss of tangible assets with a value in excess of $4,000,000 has occurred since the date hereof as determined by the Requisite SCIL Lenders, and SCIL Agent or Requisite SCIL Lenders have determined not to convert or continue the SCIL Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan as a result of the fact that such event or circumstance has occurred; or (C) any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result after giving effect to any conversion or continuation of the SCIL Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan, and SCIL Agent or Requisite Revolving SCIL Lenders shall have determined not to convert or continue the SCIL Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan as a result of that Event of Default.

(f)             Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1.5 , if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final order that the rate of interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under law (the “ Maximum Lawful Rate ”), then so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, however , that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by SCIL Agent, on behalf of SCIL Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest rate payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement.  Thereafter, interest hereunder shall be paid at the rate(s) of interest and in the manner provided in Sections 1.5(a) through (e) , unless and until the rate of interest

6

again exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, and at that time this paragraph shall again apply.  In no event shall the total interest received by any SCIL Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that such SCIL Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate.  If the Maximum Lawful Rate is calculated pursuant to this paragraph, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made.  If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.5(f) , a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that a SCIL Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, SCIL Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, promptly apply such excess in the order specified in Section 1.11 and thereafter shall refund any excess to Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order.

1.6            [Intentionally Omitted].

1.7            [Intentionally Omitted].

1.8            Cash Management Systems.   On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower will establish and will maintain until the Termination Date, the cash management systems described in Annex B (the “ Cash Management Systems ”).

1.9            Fees .

(a)            Borrower has paid and shall pay to GE Capital, individually, the Fees specified in the GE Capital Fee Letter, at the times specified for payment therein.

(b)            If Borrower pays after acceleration or prepays all or any portion of the SCIL Loan and, whether voluntarily or involuntarily and whether before or after acceleration of the Obligations, Borrower shall pay to SCIL Agent, for the benefit of SCIL Lenders as liquidated damages and compensation for the costs of being prepared to make funds available hereunder an amount equal to the Applicable Percentage (as defined below) multiplied by the principal amount of the SCIL Loan paid after acceleration or prepaid.  As used herein, the term “ Applicable Percentage ” shall mean (x)  two percent (2%), in the case of a prepayment on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (y) one percent (1%), in the case of a prepayment after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but on or prior to the second anniversary thereof, and (z) zero percent (0%), in the case of a prepayment after the second anniversary of the Closing Date.  The Credit Parties agree that the Applicable Percentages are a reasonable calculation of SCIL Lenders’ lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early prepayment of the SCIL Loan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prepayment fee shall be payable by Borrower upon a mandatory prepayment made pursuant to Sections 1.3(b) or 1.16(c) ; provided that in the case of prepayments made pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(ii) , the transaction giving rise to the applicable prepayment is expressly permitted under Section 6 .

1.10          Receipt of Payments.   Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement not later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the day when due in immediately available funds in Dollars to the Collection Account.  For purposes of computing interest and Fees as of any date, all payments shall be deemed received on the Business Day on which immediately

7

available funds therefor are received in the Collection Account prior to 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time).  Payments received after 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on any Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day.

1.11          Application and Allocation of Payments.   So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Scheduled Termination Date has not occurred, (i)  voluntary prepayments shall be applied as determined by Borrower, subject to the provisions of Section 1.3(a) ; and (ii) mandatory prepayments shall be applied as set forth in Section 1.3(c) .  All payments and prepayments shall be applied ratably to the portion of the SCIL Loan held by each SCIL Lender as determined by its Pro Rata Share.  As to any other payment, and as to all payments made when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or following the Scheduled Termination Date, Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby irrevocably waive the right to direct the application of any and all payments (including monetary proceeds of collections of or realizations upon any Collateral) received from or on behalf of Borrower or any other Credit Party, and Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby irrevocably agree that SCIL Agent and the Requisite SCIL Lenders shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply any and all such payments against the Obligations as SCIL Agent and the Requisite SCIL Lenders may deem advisable notwithstanding any previous entry by SCIL Agent in the Loan Account or any other books and records and agree to be bound by all such payment applications.  In the absence of a specific determination by SCIL Agent and the Requisite SCIL Lenders with respect thereto, payments shall be applied to amounts then due and payable in the following order: (1) to Fees and SCIL Agent’s expenses reimbursable hereunder; (2) to interest on the SCIL Loan; (3) to principal payments on the SCIL Loan; and (4) to all other Obligations, including expenses of SCIL Lenders to the extent reimbursable under Section 11.3 .

1.12          Loan Account and Accounting.   SCIL Agent shall maintain a loan account (the “ Loan Account ”) on its books to record the SCIL Loan, all payments made by or on behalf of Borrower, and all other debits and credits as provided in this Agreement with respect to the SCIL Loan or any other Obligations.  All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with SCIL Agent’s customary accounting practices as in effect from time to time. The balance in the Loan Account, as recorded on SCIL Agent’s most recent printout or other written statement, shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to SCIL Agent and SCIL Lenders by Borrower; provided that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect Borrower’s duty to pay the Obligations.  SCIL Agent shall render to Borrower a monthly accounting of transactions with respect to the SCIL Loan setting forth the balance of the Loan Account for the immediately preceding month.  Unless Borrower notifies SCIL Agent in writing of any objection to any such accounting (specifically describing the basis for such objection), within ninety (90) days after the date thereof, each and every such accounting shall, absent manifest error, be deemed conclusive.  Only those items expressly objected to in such notice shall be deemed to be disputed by Borrower.  Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, any SCIL Lender may elect (which election may be revoked) to dispense with the issuance of SCIL Notes to that SCIL Lender and may rely on the Loan Account as evidence of the amount of Obligations from time to time owing to it.

1.13          Indemnity .

(a)            Each Credit Party that is a signatory hereto shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each of SCIL Agent, SCIL Lenders and their respective Affiliates, and each such Person’s respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents and representatives (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”), from and against any and all suits, actions, proceedings, claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other costs of investigation or defense, including those incurred upon any appeal) that may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person as the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the administration of such credit, and in connection with or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder and any actions or failures to act in connection therewith, and legal costs and expenses arising out of or incurred in connection with disputes between or among any parties to any of the Loan Documents (other than disputes between and among SCIL Agent/or the SCIL Lenders arising when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) (collectively, “ Indemnified Liabilities ”); provided , that no such Credit Party shall be liable for any indemnification to an Indemnified Person to the extent that any such suit, action, proceeding, claim, damage, loss, liability or expense results from that Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; and, provided further , that any obligations of the Credit Parties to the Indemnified Persons with respect to Environmental Liabilities and Hazardous Materials shall be governed exclusively by the terms and provisions of the Environmental Indemnity Agreement and not by the terms and provisions of this Section 1.13 or any other term and provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document other than the Environmental Indemnity Agreement.  NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OF SUCH PERSON OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

(b)            To induce SCIL Lenders to provide the LIBOR Rate option on the terms provided herein, if (i) any LIBOR Loans are repaid in whole or in part prior to the last day of any applicable LIBOR Period (whether that repayment is made pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or occurs as a result of acceleration, by operation of law or otherwise); (ii) Borrower shall default in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR Loan; (iii) Borrower shall refuse to accept any borrowing of, or shall request a termination of any borrowing, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans after Borrower has given notice requesting the same in accordance herewith; or (iv) Borrower shall fail to make any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan after Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance herewith, then Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each SCIL Lender from and against all losses, costs and expenses resulting from or arising from any of the foregoing.  Such indemnification shall include any loss (including loss of margin) or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate deposits from which such funds were obtained.  For the purpose of calculating amounts payable to a SCIL Lender

under this subsection, each SCIL Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that LIBOR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant LIBOR Period; provided , that each SCIL Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection.  This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.  As promptly as practicable under the circumstances, each SCIL Lender shall provide Borrower with its written calculation of all amounts payable pursuant to this Section 1.13(b) , and such calculation shall be presumed to be correct unless Borrower shall object in writing within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt thereof, specifying the basis for such objection in detail.  The payment of any amounts due under this Section 1.13(b) by Borrower as a result of any of the events described in clause (i) (other than as a result of acceleration following an Event of Default) , clause (iii) or clause (iv) above shall constitute a cure of any Default or Event of Default arising solely from such events.

1.14          Access.   Each Credit Party that is a party hereto shall, during normal business hours, from time to time upon three (3) Business Days’ prior notice as frequently as SCIL Agent determines to be appropriate: (a) provide SCIL Agent and any of its officers, employees and agents access to its properties, facilities, advisors, officers, employees of each Credit Party and to the Collateral, (b) permit SCIL Agent, and any of its officers, employees and agents, to inspect, audit and make extracts from any Credit Party’s books and records, and (c) permit SCIL Agent, and its officers, employees and agents, to inspect, review, evaluate and make test verifications and counts of the Accounts, Inventory and other Collateral of any Credit Party.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if access is necessary to preserve or protect the Collateral as determined by the SCIL Agent, each such Credit Party shall provide such access to SCIL Agent and to each SCIL Lender at all times and without advance notice.  Furthermore, so long as any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall provide SCIL Agent and each SCIL Lender with access to its suppliers and customers.  Each Credit Party shall make available to SCIL Agent and its counsel, as quickly as is possible under the circumstances, originals or copies of all books and records of the Credit Parties that SCIL Agent may reasonably request.  Each Credit Party shall deliver any document or instrument necessary for SCIL Agent, as it may from time to time reasonably request, to obtain records from any service bureau or other Person that maintains records for such Credit Party.  SCIL Agent will give SCIL Lenders at least five (5) days’ prior written notice of regularly scheduled audits.  Representatives of other SCIL Lenders may accompany SCIL Agent’s representatives on regularly scheduled audits at no charge to Borrower.

10

such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with applicable law.  Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of any such Taxes, Borrower shall furnish to SCIL Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(c)            Each SCIL Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (a “ Foreign SCIL Lender ”) shall provide to Borrower and SCIL Agent a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS or the United States certifying as to such Foreign SCIL Lender’s entitlement to an exemption from United States withholding tax (a “ Certificate of Exemption ”).  Any foreign Person that seeks to become a SCIL Lender under this Agreement shall provide a Certificate of Exemption to Borrower and SCIL Agent prior to becoming a SCIL Lender hereunder.  No foreign Person may become a SCIL Lender hereunder if such Person fails to deliver a Certificate of Exemption in advance of becoming a SCIL Lender.  Any foreign Person that has become a Lender hereunder and that has provided a Certificate of Exemption shall, to the extent legally able to do so, renew its Certificate of Exemption upon the expiration of the previously delivered Certificate of Exemption.

(b)            If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in any law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation thereof) or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the

11

force of law), in each case adopted after the Closing Date, there shall be any increase in the cost to any SCIL Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loan, then Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such SCIL Lender issued within ninety (90) days after the introduction thereof or compliance therewith and setting forth a calculation of such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to SCIL Agent), pay to SCIL Agent for the account of such SCIL Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such SCIL Lender for such increased cost.  A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to Borrower and to SCIL Agent by such SCIL Lender, shall be presumptive evidence of the matters set forth therein, absent manifest error.  Each SCIL Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of any circumstances referred to above which would result in any such increased cost, the affected SCIL Lender shall, to the extent not inconsistent with such SCIL Lender’s internal policies of general application, use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize costs and expenses incurred by it and payable to it by Borrower pursuant to this Section 1.16(b) .

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

(d)            Within fifteen (15) days after receipt by Borrower of written notice and demand from any SCIL Lender (an “ Affected SCIL Lender ”) as provided in Sections 1.15(a), 1.15(b), 1.16(a) or 1.16(b) , Borrower may, at its option, notify SCIL Agent and such Affected SCIL Lender of its intention to replace the Affected SCIL Lender.  So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower, with the consent of SCIL Agent, may obtain, at Borrower’s expense, a replacement SCIL Lender (“ Replacement SCIL Lender ”) for the Affected SCIL Lender, which Replacement SCIL Lender must be reasonably satisfactory to SCIL Agent.  If Borrower obtains a Replacement SCIL Lender within one hundred eighty (180) days following notice of its intention to do so, the Affected SCIL Lender must sell and assign its portion of the SCIL Loan to such Replacement SCIL Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by the Affected SCIL Lender and all accrued interest and Fees with respect thereto through the date of such sale; provided , that Borrower shall have reimbursed such Affected SCIL Lender for the additional amounts or increased costs that it is entitled to receive under Sections 1.15(a), 1.15(b), 1.16(a) or 1.16(b) through the date of such sale and assignment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not have the right to obtain a Replacement SCIL Lender if the Affected SCIL Lender rescinds its demand for increased costs or additional amounts within fifteen (15) days following its receipt of Borrower’s notice of intention to replace such Affected SCIL Lender.  Furthermore, if Borrower gives a notice of intention to replace and does not so replace such Affected SCIL Lender within one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter,

12

Borrower’s rights under this Section 1.16(d) shall terminate with respect to the increased costs or additional amounts of such Affected SCIL Lender giving rise to such notice to replace such Affected SCIL Lender and Borrower shall promptly pay all increased costs and or additional amounts demanded by such Affected SCIL Lender pursuant to Sections 1.15(a), 1.15(b), 1.16(a) and 1.16(b) .
