     §2. THE TERM LOAN .

     §2.1 Commitment to Lend . Subject to the provisions of §2.4, §12 and the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Lenders severally agrees to make a term loan to the Borrower on the Closing Date (and thereafter pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof) in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Total Commitment. The outstanding amount of the Term Loan shall not at any time exceed the Total Commitment. In no event shall any Lender be required to fund any amounts in excess of its then-current Commitment.

     The Term Loan shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage. The request for the Term Loan shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the conditions set forth in §12 have been satisfied as of the Closing Date, provided that the making of such representation and warranty by the Borrower shall not limit the right of any Lender not to lend if such conditions have not been met. No portion of the Term Loan or other extension of credit shall be required to be made by any Lender unless all of the conditions contained in §12 have been satisfied as of the Closing Date.

     §2.2. The Term Notes . The Term Loan shall be evidenced by the Term Notes. A Term Note shall be payable to the order of each Lender in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make or cause to be made an appropriate notation on such Lender’s applicable Note Record reflecting the making of its portion of the Term Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of any payment thereon. The outstanding amount of the Term Loan set forth on such applicable Note Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such Note Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the rights and obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Term Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Term Note when due.

     §2.3. Interest on the Term Loan; Fees .

          (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of each Interest Period with respect thereto (unless earlier paid in accordance with §3.2) at a rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin.

          (b) Each Libor Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of each Interest Period with respect thereto (unless earlier paid in accordance with §3.2) at a rate equal to the Libor Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Libor Margin.

-22-


 

          (c) With reference to Base Rate Loans,  the “Applicable Base Rate Margin” shall be equal to 0.25% and, with reference to Libor Rate Loans, the “Applicable Libor Margin” shall be equal to 2.25%.

          (d) The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay interest on the Term Loan in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect thereto, and when the principal of such Term Loan is due (whether at maturity, by reason of acceleration or otherwise).

     §2.4. Request for the Term Loan .

     The following provisions shall apply to the initial request by the Borrower for the Term Loan:

          (i) The Borrower shall submit a Completed Loan Request to the Agent. The Completed Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Term Loan requested from the Lenders on the Closing Date.

          (ii) The Completed Loan Request shall specify: (1) the principal amount of the Term Loan, (2) the Interest Period applicable to such Term Loan (or portions thereof), and (3) the Type of Loan being requested, and certifying that, after giving effect to such requested Term Loan, no Default or Event of Default will exist under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that, after giving effect to the Term Loan, the Borrower is in compliance with the covenants set forth in §10 (which calculations required by such covenants shall be submitted with such Completed Loan Request).

          (iii) No Lender shall be obligated to fund any portion of the Term Loan unless:

          (a) a Completed Loan Request has been timely received by the Agent as provided in subsection (i) above; and

          (b) both before and after giving effect to the Term Loan to be made pursuant to the Completed Loan Request, all of the conditions contained in §12 shall have been satisfied as of the Closing Date.

     §2.5. Conversion Options .

          (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any portion of the outstanding Term Loan to another Type, provided that (i) subject to the further

-23-


 

proviso at the end of this §2.5(a) and subject to §2.5(b) and §2.5(d), with respect to any conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a Libor Rate Loan (or a continuation of a Libor Rate Loan, as provided in §2.5(b)), the Borrower shall give the Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of such election, which such notice must be received by the Agent by 10:00 a.m. on any Business Day; and (ii) no Loan may be converted into a Libor Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. All or any part of the outstanding Term Loan of any Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that each Conversion Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a Libor Rate Loan shall be for an amount equal to $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and shall be irrevocable by the Borrower.

          (b) Any portion of the Term Loan of any Type may be continued as such upon the expiration of the Interest Period with respect thereto (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, automatically and (ii) in the case of Libor Rate Loans by compliance by the Borrower with the notice provisions contained in §2.5(a)(i); provided that no Libor Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the first Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default. The Borrower shall notify the Agent promptly when any such automatic conversion contemplated by this §2.5(b) is scheduled to occur.

          (c) In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent of its election hereunder with respect to any portion of the Term Loan in accordance with the terms hereof, such portion of the Term Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period.

          (d) The Borrower may not request or elect a Libor Rate Loan pursuant to §2.4, elect to convert a Base Rate Loan to a Libor Rate Loan pursuant to §2.5(a) or elect to continue a Libor Rate Loan pursuant to §2.5(b) if, after giving effect thereto, there would be greater than five (5) Libor Rate Loans then outstanding. Any Loan Request or Conversion Request for a Libor Rate Loan that would create greater than five (5) Libor Rate Loans outstanding shall be deemed to be a Loan Request or Conversion Request for a Base Rate Loan. By way of explanation of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower wishes to convert or continue two or more portions of the Term Loan into one Libor Rate Loan on the same day and for identical Interest Periods, such Libor Rate Loan shall constitute one single Libor Rate Loan for purposes of this clause (d).

          (e) The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of any Conversion Request received pursuant to §2.5(a) or continuation pursuant to §2.5(b) in accordance with its customary practices.

     §2.6. [Reserved] .

     §2.7. [Reserved] .

-24-


 

     §2.8. Increase in Total Commitment . At any time (but at least 60 days prior to the Maturity Date), the Borrower shall have the right, upon written notice to the Agent and satisfaction of the Increase Conditions, to cause the Total Commitment to increase by an amount not exceeding $35,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Increase”), in which event Schedule 2 will be deemed to be amended to reflect the increased Commitment of each Lender, if any, that has agreed in writing to an increase and to add any third party financial institution that may have become a party to, and a “Lender” under, this Agreement in connection with the Increase (and the Agent is hereby authorized to effect such amendment on behalf of the Lenders and the Borrower, together with other conforming amendments); provided , however , that it shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Increase that the Increase Conditions shall have been satisfied. In the event that the Increase results in any change to the Commitment Percentage of any Lender, then on the effective date of such Increase in the Total Commitment (i) any new Lender, and any existing Lender whose Commitment has increased, shall pay to the Agent such amounts as are necessary to fund its new or increased Commitment Percentage of the Term Loan, (ii) the Agent will use the proceeds thereof to pay to all Lenders whose Commitment Percentage is decreasing such amounts as are necessary so that each such Lender’s participation in the existing Term Loan will be equal to its adjusted Commitment Percentage, and (iii) if the effective date of such Increase in the Total Commitment occurs on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to any outstanding Libor Rate Loan, the Borrower will be responsible for Libor Breakage Costs and any other amounts payable pursuant to §4.8 on account of the payments made pursuant to clause (ii) above. No Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment in connection with the Increase.

     §2.9. Extension of Term Loan Maturity Date . At least 60 days but in no event more than 120 days prior to August 11, 2010, the Borrower, by written notice to the Agent (with copies for each Lender), may request an extension of the Maturity Date by a period of one year from the Maturity Date then in effect (the “Extension”). The Extension shall become effective on August 11, 2010 so long as (i) the Borrower has paid to the Agent on such date, for the ratable accounts of the Lenders, an extension fee in an amount equal to 25 basis points on the Total Commitment in effect on such date, and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on such date and all representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents are true and correct as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate expressly to an earlier date). The notice referred to in the first sentence of this §2.9 shall constitute and shall be deemed to be a certification by the Borrower as to the truth and accuracy of the statements contained in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. In addition, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a Certificate of Compliance certifying compliance with the covenants set forth in §10 as of the date of such Extension.

     §3. REPAYMENT OF THE TERM LOAN .

-25-


 

     §3.1. Maturity . The Borrower promises to pay on the Maturity Date, and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Maturity Date, all unpaid principal of the Term Loan outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any and all other unpaid amounts due under this Agreement, the Notes or any other of the Loan Documents.

     §3.2. Optional Repayments of the Term Loan . The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Term Loan, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium; provided that the outstanding amount of any Libor Rate Loans may not be prepaid on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period unless the Borrower pays the Libor Breakage Costs for each Libor Rate Loan so prepaid at the time of such prepayment. The Borrower shall give the Agent (with copies to the Agent for each Lender), no later than 10:00 a.m., Cleveland, Ohio time, at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.2 of any Base Rate Loans, and at least four (4) Business Days’ notice of any proposed prepayment pursuant to this §3.2 of Libor Rate Loans, specifying the proposed date of prepayment and the principal amount to be prepaid. Each such partial prepayment of the Term Loan shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, shall be accompanied by the payment of all charges, if any, outstanding on the Term Loan so prepaid and of all accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment, and shall be applied, in the absence of instruction by the Borrower, first to the principal of Base Rate Loans and then to the principal of Libor Rate Loans.

     §3.3. Mandatory Repayment of the Term Loan . Without limitation of any of the Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights hereunder, including §7, if, at any time, the outstanding amount of the Term Loan exceeds 60% of the Value of Eligible Borrowing Base Properties, or to the extent necessary for the Borrower to be in compliance with the covenants contained in §10.5 or §10.6, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, the amount of such excess or the amount necessary to so comply, as applicable.

     §4. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS .

     §4.1. Funds for Payments .

          (a) All payments of principal, interest, fees, and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders or (as the case may be) the Agent, at the Agent’s Head Office, in each case in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of and interest on the Term Loan and of fees hereunder not later than 12:00 p.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the due date thereof.

-26-


 

          (b) All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory liens, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Borrower is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If the Borrower is compelled by law to make any such deduction or withholding with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (except with respect to taxes on the income or profits of the Agent or any Lender), the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders or (as the case may be) the Agent, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Loan Document, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Lenders to receive the same net amount which the Lenders would have received on such due date had no such deduction or withholding obligation been imposed upon the Borrower. The Borrower will deliver promptly to the Agent (with copies to the Agent for each Lender) certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under such other Loan Document.

     §4.2. Computations . All computations of interest on Libor Rate Loans and of other fees to the extent applicable shall be based on a 360-day year and all computations of interest on Base Rate Loans shall be based on a 365/366 day year, in each case paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to Libor Rate Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The outstanding amount of the Loans as reflected on the Note Records or record attached to any other Note from time to time shall constitute prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof.

     §4.3. Inability to Determine Libor Rate . In the event, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any Libor Rate Loan, the Agent shall determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the Libor Rate that would otherwise determine the rate of interest to be applicable to any Libor Rate Loan during any Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) to the Borrower and the Lenders. In such event (a) any Conversion Request with respect to Libor Rate Loans shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for Base Rate Loans, (b) each Libor Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, become a Base Rate Loan, and (c) the obligations of the Lenders to make Libor Rate Loans shall be suspended, in each case unless and until the Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the Lenders.

-27-


 

     §4.4. Illegality . Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Libor Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Agent and the Borrower and thereupon (a) the obligation of such Lender to make Libor Rate Loans or convert Base Rate Loans to Libor Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (b) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of Libor Rate Loans then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Libor Rate Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law, all until such time as it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Libor Rate Loans. The Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay the Agent for the account of such Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for Libor Breakage Costs incurred by such Lender in making any conversion required by this §4.4 prior to the last day of an Interest Period.

     §4.5. Additional Costs, Etc . If any present or future applicable law, which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body or official charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender or the Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law, but if not having the force of law, then generally applied by the Lenders or the Agent with respect to similar loans), shall:

          (a) subject any Lender or the Agent to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such Lender’s Commitment or the Loans (other than taxes based upon or measured by the income or profits of such Lender or the Agent), or

          (b) change the basis of taxation (except for changes in taxes on income or profits) of payments to any Lender of the principal of or the interest on the Term Loan or any other amounts payable to the Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or

          (c) impose or increase or render applicable (other than to the extent specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement) any special deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or letters of credit issued by, or commitments of an office of any Lender, or

          (d) impose on any Lender or the Agent any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Loans, such

-28-


 

Lender’s Commitment, or any class of loans or commitments of which any of the Loans or such Lender’s Commitment forms a part;

and the result of any of the foregoing is

     (i) to increase the cost to any Lender of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Loans or such Lender’s Commitment, or

     (ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest or other amount payable to such Lender or the Agent hereunder on account of such Lender’s Commitment or any of the Loans, or

     (iii) to require such Lender or the Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender or the Agent from the Borrower hereunder,

then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, upon demand made by the Agent or such Lender (such demand to be made promptly by the Agent or such Lender upon the making of any such determination), at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender or the Agent such additional amounts as such Lender or the Agent shall determine in good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Agent for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum, provided that such Lender or the Agent is generally imposing similar charges on its other similarly situated borrowers. The Agent shall provide the Borrower with a calculation, in reasonable detail, of such amounts in accordance with its customary practices.

     §4.6. Capital Adequacy . If any future law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law, but if not having the force of law, then generally applied by the Lenders with respect to similar loans) or the interpretation thereof by a court or governmental authority with appropriate jurisdiction affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by banks or bank holding companies and any Lender or the Agent determines that the amount of capital required to be maintained by it is increased by or based upon the existence of Loans made or deemed to be made pursuant hereto, then such Lender or the Agent may notify the Borrower of such fact, and the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the Agent from time to time, upon demand made by the Agent or such Lender (such demand to be made promptly by the Agent or such Lender upon the making of any such determination), as an additional fee payable hereunder, such amount as such Lender or the Agent shall determine reasonably and in good faith and certify in a notice to the Borrower to be an amount that will adequately compensate such Lender in light of these circumstances for

-29-


 

its increased costs of maintaining such capital. Each Lender and the Agent shall allocate such cost increases among its customers in good faith and on an equitable basis, and will not charge the Borrower unless it is generally imposing a similar charge on its other similarly situated borrowers. The Agent shall provide the Borrower with a calculation, in reasonable detail, of such amounts in accordance with its customary practices.

     §4.7. Certificate; Limitations . A certificate setting forth any additional amounts payable pursuant to §§4.5 or 4.6 and a brief explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender or the Agent to the Borrower, shall be prima facie evidence that such amounts are due and owing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 4, to the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate lending office in the continental United States to make the Loans in order to reduce any liability of Borrower to such Lender under §§4.4, 4.5 or 4.6 or to avoid the unavailability of a Libor Rate Loan, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender.

     §4.8. Indemnity .
