SECTION 2. CREDIT FACILITIES

          (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions contained herein, each Lender severally (and not jointly) agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of Loans to Borrowers from time to time in amounts requested by Borrowers up to the amount outstanding at any time equal to the lesser of: (i) the Borrowing Base or (ii) the Maximum Credit at such time. Except as otherwise provided herein or permitted hereunder, (x) the aggregate principal amount of the sum of the Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding at any time to Borrowers shall not exceed the lesser of the Borrowing Base or the Maximum Credit, and (y) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding at any time to Borrowers based on the Eligible Inventory of Borrowers shall not exceed the Inventory Loan Limit. If Agent shall determine, in its sole discretion, that a material adverse change in the financial condition of any Borrower has occurred, or if a Default or Event of Default exists, then Agent shall have the right (exercisable at such time or times as Agent deems appropriate) to require that separate Borrowing Base calculations be made for each Borrower, as well as the right to limit the use of proceeds of the Loans by each Borrower to an amount equal to such Borrower’s Borrowing Base.

          (b) Agent may, in its discretion, from time to time, upon not less than five (5) days’ prior notice to Borrowers, (i) reduce the lending formula with respect to Eligible Accounts to the extent that Agent determines in good faith that (A) the dilution with respect to the Accounts for any period (based on the ratio of (1) the aggregate amount of reductions in Accounts other than as a result of payments in cash to (2) the aggregate amount of total sales) has increased in any material respect or may be reasonably anticipated to increase in any material respect above historical levels, or (B) the general creditworthiness of account debtors has materially declined or (ii) reduce the lending formula(s) with respect to Eligible Inventory to the extent that Agent determines that: (A) the number of days of the turnover of the Inventory for any period has changed or (B) the liquidation value of the Eligible Inventory, or any category thereof, has decreased, or (C) the nature, quality or mix of the Inventory has materially deteriorated. The amount of any decrease in the lending formulas

-34-

shall have a reasonable relationship to the event, condition or circumstance which is the basis for such decrease as determined by Agent in good faith. In determining whether to reduce the lending formula(s), Agent may consider events, conditions, contingencies or risks which.are also considered in determining Eligible Accounts, Eligible Inventory or in establishing Reserves.

          (c) Except in Agent’s discretion, (i) the aggregate amount of the Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Maximum Credit, (ii) the aggregate amount of Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations based on Eligible Inventory consisting of yarn classified as work-in-process outstanding at any time shall not exceed $1,000,000 at any time and (iii) the aggregate amount of the Loans and the Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Maximum Credit. In the event that the outstanding amount of any component of the Loans, or the aggregate amount of the outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations, exceed the amounts available under the lending formulas, the Letter of Credit Limit, the Inventory Loan Limit or the Maximum Credit, as applicable, such event shall not limit, waive or otherwise affect any rights of Agent or Lenders in that circumstance or on any future occasions and Borrowers shall, upon demand by Agent, which may be made at any time or from time to time, immediately repay to Agent the entire amount of any such excess(es) for which payment is demanded.

          (d) From and after the Closing Date, all Existing Loans outstanding on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be made and outstanding, and to constitute Loans, under this Agreement, and shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof.

From and after the Closing Date, all Existing Letters of Credit outstanding on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding, and to constitute Letters of Credit, under this Agreement and all Letter of Credit Obligations (as defined in the Existing Loan Agreement) outstanding on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be and constitute Letter of Credit Obligations under this Agreement, and shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof.

          (b) The Borrower requesting such Letter of Credit (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of such Borrower) shall give Agent and Issuing Bank two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice of such Borrower’s request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the original face amount of the Letter of Credit requested, the effective date (which date shall be a Business Day and in no event shall be a date less than ten (10) days prior to the end of the then current term of this Agreement) of issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit may be drawn in a single or in partial draws, the date on which such requested Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day and shall not be more than one year from the date of issuance), the purpose for which such Letter of Credit is to be issued, and the beneficiary of the requested Letter of Credit. The Borrower requesting the Letter of Credit (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of such Borrower) shall attach to such notice the proposed terms of the Letter of Credit. The renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit shall, for purposes hereof be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit hereunder.

          (c) In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent contained in Section 4 hereof and the other terms and conditions contained herein, no Letter of Credit shall be available unless each of the following conditions precedent have been satisfied in a manner satisfactory to Agent: (i) the Borrower requesting such Letter of Credit (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of such Borrower) shall have delivered to Issuing Bank at such times and in such manner as Issuing Bank may require, an application, in form and substance satisfactory to Issuing Bank and Agent, for the issuance of the Letter of Credit and such other Letter of Credit Documents as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof, and the form and terms of the proposed Letter of Credit shall be satisfactory to Agent and Issuing Bank, (ii) as of the date of issuance, no order of any court, arbitrator or other Governmental Authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain money center banks generally from issuing letters of credit of the type and in the amount of the proposed Letter of Credit, and no law, rule or regulation applicable to money center banks generally and no request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over money center banks generally shall prohibit, or request that Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the issuance of such Letter of Credit, (iii) after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Limit, and (iv) the Excess Availability, prior to giving effect to any Reserves with respect to such Letter of Credit, on the date of the proposed issuance of any Letter of Credit shall be equal to or greater than: (A) if the proposed Letter of Credit is for the purpose of purchasing Inventory that would constitute Eligible Inventory but for the fact that it is or will be in transit to the premises of a Borrower located with the United States, and the documents of title with respect thereto are consigned and delivered to Issuing Bank at a location in the United States, the sum of (1) the percentage equal to one hundred percent (100%) minus the then applicable percentage with respect to Eligible Inventory set forth in the definition of the term Borrowing Base multiplied by the Value of such Eligible Inventory, plus (2) freight, taxes, duty and other amounts which Agent estimates must be paid in connection with such Inventory upon arrival and for delivery to one of such Borrower’s locations for Eligible Inventory within the United States of America and (B) if the proposed Letter of Credit is for any other purpose or the documents of title are not consigned and delivered to Issuing Bank at a location in the United States in connection with a Letter of Credit for the purpose of purchasing Inventory, an amount equal to one hundred (100%) percent of the Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto. Effective on the issuance of each Letter of Credit, a Reserve shall be established in the applicable amount set forth in Section 2.2(c)(iv)(A) or Section 2.2(c)(iv)(B) .

          (d) Except in Agent’s discretion, with the consent of all Lenders, the amount of all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations shall not at any time exceed the Letter of Credit Limit.

          (e) Each Borrower shall reimburse immediately Issuing Bank for any draw under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower and pay Issuing Bank the amount of all other charges and fees payable to Issuing Bank in connection with any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower immediately when due, irrespective of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which such Borrower may have at any time against Issuing Bank or any other Person. Each drawing under any Letter of Credit or other amount payable in connection therewith when due shall constitute a request by the Borrower for whose account such Letter of Credit was issued to Agent for a Prime Rate Loan in the amount of such drawing or other amount then due, and shall be made by Agent on behalf of Lenders as a Loan (or Special Agent Advance, as the case may be). The date of such Loan shall be the date of the drawing or as to other amounts, the due date therefor. Any payments made by or on behalf of Agent or any Lender to Issuing Bank and/or related parties in

connection with any Letter of Credit shall constitute additional Loans to such Borrower pursuant to this Section 2 (or Special Agent Advances as the case may be).

          (f) Borrowers and Guarantors shall indemnify and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses which Agent or any Lender may suffer or incur in connection with any Letter of Credit and any documents, drafts or acceptances relating thereto, including any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses due to any action taken by Issuing Bank or correspondent with respect to any Letter of Credit, except for such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses that are a direct result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or any Lender as determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Borrower and Guarantor assumes all risks with respect to the acts or omissions of the drawer under or beneficiary of any Letter of Credit and for such purposes the drawer or beneficiary shall be deemed such Borrower’s agent. Each Borrower and Guarantor assumes all risks for, and agrees to pay, all foreign, Federal, State and local taxes, duties and levies relating to any goods subject to any Letter of Credit or any documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder. Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby releases and holds Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any acts, waivers, errors, delays or omissions with respect to or relating to any Letter of Credit, except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or any Lender as determined pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The provisions of this Section 2.2(f) shall survive the payment of Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

          (g) In connection with Inventory purchased pursuant to any Letter of Credit, Borrowers and Guarantors shall, at Agent’s request, instruct all suppliers, carriers, forwarders, Customs Brokers, warehouses or others receiving or holding cash, checks, Inventory, documents or instruments in which Agent holds a security interest that upon Agent’s request, such items are to be delivered to Agent and/or subject to Agent’s order, and if they shall come into such Borrower’s or Guarantor’s possession, to deliver them, upon Agent’s request, to Agent in their original form. Except as otherwise provided herein, Agent shall not exercise such right to request such items so long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing. Except as Agent may otherwise specify, Borrowers and Guarantors shall designate Issuing Bank as the consignee on all bills of lading and other negotiable and non-negotiable documents.

          (h) Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Issuing Bank to name such Borrower or Guarantor as the account party therein and to deliver to Agent all instruments, documents and other writings and property received by Issuing Bank pursuant to the Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon Agent’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit or the Letter of Credit Documents with respect thereto. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to grant any Borrower or Guarantor any right or authority to pledge the credit of Agent or any Lender in any manner. Borrowers and Guarantors shall be bound by any reasonable interpretation made in good faith by Agent, or Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or any documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder, notwithstanding that such interpretation may be inconsistent with any instructions of any Borrower or Guarantor.

          (i) Immediately upon the issuance or amendment of any Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the liability with respect to such Letter of Credit and the obligations of Borrowers with

-37-

respect thereto (including all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto). Each Lender shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and be obligated to pay to Issuing Bank therefor and discharge when due, its Pro Rata Share of all of such obligations arising under such Letter of Credit. Without limiting the scope and nature of each Lender’s participation in any Letter of Credit, to the extent that Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed or otherwise paid as required hereunder or under any such Letter of Credit, each such Lender shall pay to Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed drawing or other amounts then due to Issuing Bank in connection therewith.

          (j) The obligations of Borrowers to pay each Letter of Credit Obligations and the obligations of Lenders to make payments to Agent for the account of Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances, whatsoever, notwithstanding the occurrence or continuance of any Default, Event of Default, the failure to satisfy any other condition set forth in Section 4 or any other event or circumstance. If such amount is not made available by a Lender when due, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was due until the date such amount is paid to Agent at the interest rate then payable by any Borrower in respect of Loans that are Prime Rate Loans. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit or make any other payment in connection therewith.

      2.3 [Intentionally Omitted.]

      2.4 Commitments . The aggregate amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations shall not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment, as the same may from time to time be amended in accordance with the provisions hereof.

      2.5 Voluntary Increase in Commitments .

          (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through the ninetieth (90 ^th ) day immediately prior to the last calendar day of the term of this Agreement, and so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, Borrowers may request that the Commitments be increased and, upon such request, Agent shall use reasonable efforts in light of then-current market conditions to solicit additional Eligible Transferees to become Lenders for the purposes of this Agreement, or to encourage any Lender to increase its Commitment; provided , that (a) each Lender that is a party to this Agreement immediately prior to such increase shall have the first option, and may elect, to fund its Pro Rata Share of the amount of the increase in the Commitment (or any such greater amount in the event that one or more Lenders does not elect to fund its respective Pro Rata Share of the amount of the increase in the Commitment), thereby increasing its Commitment hereunder, but no Lender shall have any obligation to do so, (b) in the event that it becomes necessary to include a new Eligible Transferee to fund the amount of the requested increase in the Commitment, each such Eligible Transferee shall become a Lender hereunder and agree to become party to, and shall assume and agree to be bound by, this Agreement, subject to all terms and conditions hereof; (c) no Lender shall have an obligation to Borrowers, Agent or any other Lender to increase its Commitment or its Pro Rata Share of the Commitments, which decision shall be made in the sole discretion of each Lender; and (d) in no event shall the addition of any Lender or Lenders or the increase in the Commitment of any Lender under this Section 2.5 increase the Commitments to an aggregate amount greater than $110,000,000. Upon the addition of any Lender, or the increase in the Commitment of any Lender, the dollar

-38-

amount of the Commitment set forth opposite each Lender’s name on Schedule 1.21 to this Agreement shall be amended by Agent and Borrowers to reflect such addition or such increase, and Agent shall deliver to Lenders and Borrowers a copy of such amendment. Lenders shall be entitled to receive and Borrowers shall be obligated to pay a mutually agreeable amendment fee to Agent for the pro rata benefit of those Lenders who increase their Commitment and any new Lenders, such fee to be based upon the increase in their Commitments only and not on their aggregate Commitments after giving effect to such increase.

          (b) If any requested increase in the Commitments is agreed to in accordance with subsection (a) above, Agent and Borrowers shall determine the effective date of such increase (the “Increase Effective Date”). Agent, with the consent and approval of Borrowers, shall promptly confirm in writing to Lenders the final allocation of such increase as of the Increase Effective Date, and each new Lender and each existing Lender that has increased its Commitment shall purchase Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations from each other Lender in an amount such that, after such purchase or purchases, the amount of outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations from each Lender shall equal such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share of the Commitments, as modified to give effect to such increase, multiplied by the aggregate amount of Loans outstanding and Letter of Credit Obligations from all Lenders. As condition precedents to the effectiveness of such increase, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent (i) a certificate dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by the Chief Financial Officer of Borrowers, including a compliance certificate demonstrating compliance with the terms of this Agreement and certification that, both before and after giving effect to such increase, each representation and warranty contained in Section 8 is true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date (except to the extent that any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date), that the requested increase is permitted under all Material Contracts, and that no Default or Event of Default exists, and (ii) legal opinions from counsel to Borrowers in form and substance acceptable to Agent that, among other things, the requested increase in the Commitments provided for herein does not violate any Material Contract. Upon the request of any Lender, Borrowers shall deliver one or more promissory notes reflecting the new or increased Commitment of each such Lender as of the Increase Effective Date.

SECTION 3. INTEREST AND FEES

      3.1 Interest .

          (a) Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loans at the Interest Rate. All interest accruing hereunder on and after the date of any Event of Default or termination hereof or on the principal amount of the Loans at any time outstanding in excess of the amounts available to Borrowers under Section 2 (whether or not such excess(es), arise or are made with or without Agent’s knowledge or consent and whether made before or after an Event of Default) shall be payable ON DEMAND .

          (b) Borrowers (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of Borrowers) may from time to time request Eurodollar Rate Loans or that Prime Rate Loans be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans or that any existing Eurodollar Rate Loans continue for an additional Interest Period. Such request from Borrowers (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of Borrowers) shall specify the amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loan or the amount of the Prime Rate Loans to be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans or the amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loan to be continued (subject to the limits set forth below) and the Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Subject

to the terms and conditions contained herein, two (2) Business Days after receipt by Agent of such a request from Borrowers (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of Borrowers), such Prime Rate Loans shall be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans or such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall continue, as the case may be, provided, that, (i) no Event of Default, or act, condition or event which with notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing, (ii) no party hereto shall have sent any notice of termination of this Agreement, (iii) Borrowers (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of Borrowers) shall have complied with such customary procedures as are established by Agent and specified by Agent to Borrowers from time to time for requests by Borrowers for Eurodollar Rate Loans, (iv) no more than four (4) Interest Periods may be in effect at any one time, (v) the aggregate amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans must be in an amount not less than $3,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (vi) Agent and each Lender shall have determined that the Interest Period or Adjusted Eurodollar Rate is available to Agent and such Lender and can be readily determined as of the date of the request for such Eurodollar Rate Loan by Borrowers (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of Borrowers). Any request by Borrowers (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of Borrowers) for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or to convert Prime Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue any existing Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent and Lenders shall not be required to purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other applicable Eurodollar Rate market to fund any Eurodollar Rate Loans, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Agent and Lenders had purchased such deposits to fund the Eurodollar Rate Loans.

          (c) Any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall automatically convert to Prime Rate Loans upon the last day of the applicable Interest Period, unless Agent has received and approved a request to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loan at least two (2) Business Days prior to such last day in accordance with the terms hereof. Any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall, at Agent’s option, upon notice by Agent to convert to Prime Rate Loans in the event that this Agreement shall terminate or not be renewed. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, upon demand by Agent (or Agent may, at its option, charge any loan account of Borrowers) any amounts required to compensate any Lender or participant with Lender for any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such Person, as a result of the conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Prime Rate Loans pursuant to any of the foregoing.

          (d) Interest shall be payable by Borrowers to Agent, for the account of Agent and Lenders, as applicable, monthly in arrears not later than the first day of each calendar month and shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall also be payable with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans on the last day of each applicable Interest Period with respect to such Loans. Borrower acknowledges and understands that the calculation of interest on the basis of the actual days elapsed over the period of a three hundred sixty (360) day year as opposed to a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) or three hundred sixty-six (366) days results in a higher effective rate of interest. The interest rate on non-contingent Obligations (other than Eurodollar Rate Loans) shall increase or decrease by an amount equal to each increase or decrease in the Prime Rate effective on the first day of the month after any change in such Prime Rate is announced based on the Prime Rate in effect on the last day of the month in which any such change occurs. In no event shall charges constituting interest payable by Borrowers to Agent and Lenders exceed the maximum amount or the rate permitted under any applicable law or regulation, and if any such part or provision of this Agreement is in contravention of any such law or regulation, such part or provision shall be deemed amended to conform thereto.

      3.2 Fees .

     Borrowers agree to pay to Agent the following non-refundable fees as follows:

          (a) the fees set forth in the Fee Letter; and

          (b) on the first day of each month in arrears for the benefit of Lenders, an unused line fee at a rate equal to one quarter of one percent (0.250%) per annum calculated upon the amount by which the Maximum Credit exceeds the average daily principal balance of the outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations during the immediately preceding month (or part thereof) (the “Average Daily Balance”) while this Agreement is in effect and for so long thereafter as any of the Obligations are outstanding, which fee shall be payable on the first day of each month in arrears and shall be fully earned when due; and

          (c) in addition to any charges, fees or expenses charged by Issuing Bank in connection with the Letters of Credit, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, (i) a fronting fee equal to 0.125% of the stated amount of each Letter of Credit, which fee shall be payable upon issuance of the Letter of Credit and on each anniversary date of such issuance, and shall be payable on any increase in stated amount made between any such dates, and (ii) a letter of credit fee at a rate equal to the applicable margin set forth in Exhibit B hereto, on a per annum basis, in excess of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate as to Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the daily outstanding balance of the Letter of Credit Obligations for the immediately preceding month (or part thereof), payable in arrears as of the first day of each succeeding month, except that Agent may, and upon the written direction of Required Lenders shall, require Borrowers to pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders such letter of credit fee, at a rate equal to the Default Rate per annum on such daily outstanding balance for: (x) the period from and after the date of termination hereof until Agent and Lenders have received full and final payment of all Obligations (notwithstanding entry of a judgment against Borrowers) and (y) the period from and after the date of the occurrence of an Event of Default for so long as such Event of Default is continuing as determined by Agent. Such letter of credit fee shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed and the obligation of Borrowers to pay such fee shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

      3.3 Changes in Laws and Increased Costs of Loans .

          (a) If after the date hereof, either (i) any change in, or in the interpretation of, any law or regulation is introduced, including, without limitation, with respect to reserve requirements, applicable to any Lender or any banking or financial institution from whom any Lender borrows funds or obtains credit (a “Funding Bank”), or (ii) a Funding Bank or any Lender complies with any future guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or (iii) a Funding Bank, any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof has or would have the effect described below, or a Funding Bank, any Lender or Issuing Bank complies with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, and in the case of any event set forth in this clause (iii), such adoption, change or compliance has or would have the direct or indirect effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking

into consideration the Funding Bank’s or Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material, and the result of any of the foregoing events described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) is or results in an increase in the cost to any Lender or Issuing Bank of funding or maintaining the Loans, the Letters of Credit or its Commitment, then Borrowers and Guarantors shall from time to time upon demand by Agent pay to Agent additional amounts sufficient to indemnify such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, against such increased cost on an after-tax basis (after taking into account applicable deductions and credits in respect of the amount indemnified). A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost shall be submitted to Administrative Borrower by Agent or the applicable Lender and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

          (b) If prior to the first day of any Interest Period, (a) Agent shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers and Guarantors) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, (b) Agent has received notice from the Required Lenders that the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans during such Interest Period, or (c) Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Eurodollar Rate Loans to which such Interest Period is to be applicable are not generally available in the London interbank market, Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to Administrative Borrower as soon as practicable thereafter, and will also give prompt written notice to Administrative Borrower when such conditions no longer exist. If such notice is given (i) any Eurodollar Rate Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Prime Rate Loans, (ii) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be converted to or continued as Prime Rate Loans and (iii) each outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period thereof, to Prime Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by Agent, no further Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall any Borrower (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of any Borrower) have the right to convert Prime Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans.

          (c) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any law, treaty, rule or regulation or final, non-appealable determination of an arbitrator or a court or other Governmental Authority or in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the date hereof shall make it unlawful for Agent or any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) Agent or such Lender shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to Administrative Borrower (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Loans, continue Eurodollar Rate Loans as such and convert Prime Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall forthwith be canceled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall then have a commitment only to make a Prime Rate Loan when a Eurodollar Rate Loan is requested and (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Prime Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, Borrowers and Guarantors shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3.3(d) below.

          (d) Borrowers and Guarantors shall indemnify Agent and each Lender and shall hold Agent and each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Agent or such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (d) default by any Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or extension of Eurodollar Rate Loans after such Borrower (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of such Borrower) has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (e) default by any Borrower in making any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan after such Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and (f) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. With respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or extended, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or extend to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or extend, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurodollar Rate Loans provided for herein over (ii) the amount of interest (as determined by such Agent or such Lender) which would have accrued to Agent or such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

      3.4 Maximum Interest .

          (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements, in no event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts that are contracted for, charged or received by Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements and that are deemed interest under applicable law exceed the Maximum Interest Rate (including, to the extent applicable, the provisions of Section 5197 of the Revised Statutes of the United States of America as amended, 12 U.S.C. Section 85, as amended). No agreements, conditions, provisions or stipulations contained in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements, or any Event of Default, or the exercise by Lenders of the right to accelerate the payment or the maturity of all or any portion of the Obligations, or the exercise of any option whatsoever contained in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements, or the prepayment by Borrowers of any of the Obligations, or the occurrence of any event or contingency whatsoever shall entitle Agent or Lenders to contract for, charge or receive in any event, interest or any charges, amounts, premiums or fees deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall Borrowers be obligated to pay interest or such amounts as may be deemed interest under applicable law in amounts which exceed the Maximum Interest Rate. All agreements, conditions or stipulations, if any, which may in any event or contingency whatsoever operate to bind, obligate or compel Borrowers to pay interest or such amounts which are deemed to constitute interest in amounts which exceed the Maximum Interest Rate shall be without binding force or effect, at law or in equity, to the extent of the excess of interest or such amounts which are deemed to constitute interest over such Maximum Interest Rate.

          (b) In the event any Interest is charged or received in excess of the Maximum Interest Rate (“Excess”), each Borrower acknowledges and stipulates that any such charge or receipt shall be the result of an accident and bona fide error, and that any Excess received by Agent and Lenders shall be applied first, to the payment of the then outstanding and unpaid principal hereunder; second to the payment of the other Obligations then outstanding and unpaid; and third, returned to Borrowers, it being the intent of the parties hereto not to enter into a usurious or otherwise illegal

relationship. The right to accelerate the maturity of any of the Obligations does not include the right to accelerate any interest that has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and Agent and Lenders does not intend to collect any unearned interest in the event of any such acceleration. Each Borrower recognizes that, with fluctuations in the rates of interest set forth in Section 3.1 of this Agreement and the Maximum Interest Rate, such an unintentional result could inadvertently occur. All monies paid to Agent or Lenders hereunder or under any of the other Financing Agreements, whether at maturity or by prepayment, shall be subject to any rebate of unearned interest as and to the extent required by applicable law.

          (c) By the execution of this Agreement, each Borrower agrees that (A) the credit or return of any Excess shall constitute the acceptance by Borrowers of such Excess, and (B) no Borrower shall seek or pursue any other remedy, legal or equitable, against Agent and Lenders, based in whole or in part upon contracting for, charging or receiving any interest or such amounts which are deemed to constitute interest in excess of the Maximum Interest Rate. For the purpose of determining whether or not any Excess has been contracted for, charged or received by Agent and Lenders, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from Borrowers in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread during the entire term of this Agreement in accordance with the amounts outstanding from time to time hereunder and the Maximum Interest Rate from time to time in effect in order to lawfully charge the maximum amount of interest permitted under applicable laws.

          (d) Borrowers, Agent and Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest and (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof.

          (e) The provisions of this Section 3.4 shall be deemed to be incorporated into each of the other Financing Agreements (whether or not any provision of this Section is referred to therein). Each of the Financing Agreements and communications relating to any interest owed by Borrowers and all figures set forth therein shall, for the sole purpose of computing the extent of the Obligations, be automatically recomputed by Borrowers, and by any court considering the same, to give effect to the adjustments or credits required by this Section.
