SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

           THIS SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (the “Agreement” ) dated as of February 22, 2008, is entered into between AMERICA SERVICE GROUP INC. (“ASG”) a Delaware corporation, PRISON HEALTH SERVICES, INC. (“PHS”), a Delaware corporation, EMSA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (“EMSA LP”) , a Florida limited partnership, PRISON HEALTH SERVICES OF INDIANA, L.L.C. (“PHS Indiana”) , an Indiana limited liability company, SECURE PHARMACY PLUS, LLC (“SPP”) , a Tennessee limited liability company, and CORRECTIONAL HEALTH SERVICES, LLC , (“ CHS ”) a New Jersey limited liability company ( ASG, PHS, EMSA LP, PHS Indiana, SPP and CHS ) are hereinafter referred to, individually and collectively as the “Borrower” ), CAPITALSOURCE FINANCE LLC , a Delaware limited liability company (“ CapitalSource” ), as administrative agent and collateral agent for Lenders (in such capacities, the “ Agent ”), and the Lenders party hereto.

          WHEREAS, Borrower, Agent and Lenders have entered into that certain Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated as of October 31, 2005, as amended by the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated as of March 15, 2006, the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated as of October 11, 2006 and the Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated as of October 31, 2006, (as further amended, supplemented, modified and restated from time to time, the “ Original Agreement ”);

          WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that Lender modify and extend the Original Agreement in order to make available to Borrower a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility” ) in a maximum principal amount at any time outstanding of up to Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000) (the “ Facility Cap ”) and within the Facility Cap, a sublimit of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) (the “ L/C Sublimit ”), the proceeds of such Revolving Facility shall be used by Borrower for general corporate matters and purposes, and working capital needs in connection with its provision of medical and related services to correctional facilities; and

          WHEREAS, Lender is willing to amend and restate the Original Agreement to make the Revolving Facility available to Borrower upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which hereby are acknowledged, Borrower, Agent and Lenders hereby agree as follows:

1.1 General Terms

          For purposes of this Agreement, in addition to the definitions above and elsewhere in this Agreement, the terms listed in Appendix A and Annex I hereto shall have the meanings given such terms in Appendix A and Annex I , which are incorporated herein and made a part hereof. All capitalized terms used which are not specifically defined shall have meanings provided in Article 9 of the UCC in effect on the date hereof to the extent the same are used or defined therein. Unless otherwise specified herein or in Appendix A , any agreement or contract referred to herein or in Appendix A shall mean such agreement as

modified, amended, restated or supplemented from time to time. Unless otherwise specified, as used in the Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, instrument or other document made or delivered pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, all accounting terms not defined in Appendix A or elsewhere in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to such terms in and shall be interpreted in accordance with GAAP. References herein to “Eastern Time” shall mean eastern standard time or eastern daylight savings time as in effect on any date of determination in the eastern United States of America.

2.1 The Revolving Facility

          (a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, each Lender agrees to make available its Pro Rata Share of Advances, including Advances in connection with the issuance or collateralization of Letters of Credit, to Borrower under the Revolving Facility from time to time during the Term; provided , that (i) the Pro Rata Share of the Advances of any Lender shall not at any time exceed its separate Commitment, and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Advances at any time outstanding under the Revolving Facility shall not exceed the lesser of (A) the Facility Cap and (B) the Availability plus additional amounts that Lender may advance pursuant to Section 2.4(b) to Borrower in its sole discretion to achieve the Minimum Balance. The obligations of Lenders hereunder shall be several and not joint up to the amount of the Commitments. The Revolving Facility is a revolving credit facility, which may be drawn, repaid and redrawn, from time to time as permitted under this Agreement. Any determination as to whether there is availability within the Borrowing Base for Advances shall be made by Agent in its Permitted Discretion and is final and binding upon Borrower. Unless otherwise permitted by Agent, each Advance shall be in an amount of at least $100,000. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Borrower may request Advances under the Revolving Facility up to and including the value, in Dollars, of 85% of the Borrowing Base (such calculated amount being referred to herein as the “Availability” ). Advances under the Revolving Facility automatically shall be made for the payment of interest on the Loans and other Obligations on the date when due to the extent available and as provided for herein.

          (b) Agent has established the above-referenced advance rate for Availability and, following an audit and review of Borrower’s financial statements and with not less than three (3) Business Days prior notice to Borrower (except that upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of a Default or Event of Default, such notice shall not be required), may further adjust the Availability and such advance rate by applying percentages (known as “ liquidity factors ”) to Eligible Receivables based upon Borrower’s actual recent collection history all in a manner consistent with Agent’s underwriting practices and procedures, including, without limitation, Agent’s review and analysis of, among other things, Borrower’s historical returns, rebates, discounts, credits and allowances (collectively, the “Dilution Items” ). Such liquidity factors and the advance rate for Availability may be adjusted by Agent, throughout the Term, subject to prior notice to Borrower, as warranted by Agent’s underwriting practices and procedures in its Permitted Discretion. Also, Agent shall have the right to establish and readjust from time to time, in its Permitted Discretion, reserves against the Borrowing Base, which reserves shall have the effect of reducing the amounts otherwise eligible to be disbursed to Borrower under the Revolving Facility pursuant to this Agreement.

2.2 The Revolving Loans; Maturity

          All amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loans and other Obligations under the Revolving Facility shall be due and payable in full, if not earlier in accordance with this Agreement, upon the earliest of (i) any automatic acceleration upon an Event of Default as provided for herein; (ii) Agent’s

acceleration and demand for payment following an Event of Default, and (iii) the last day of the Term (such earlier date being the “Maturity Date” ).

2.3 Interest on the Revolving Facility

          Interest on outstanding Advances under the Revolving Loans shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 2.0%, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and for the actual number of calendar days elapsed in each interest calculation period. Notwithstanding the foregoing (and without affecting Agent’s rights under Section 3.7 hereof), during the continuance of an Event of Default and at any other time when Agent has determined that LIBOR cannot be readily determined or is otherwise unavailable, interest on outstanding Advances under the Revolving Facility shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month at an annual rate of the Prime Rate , provided however , that, notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document, for the purpose of calculating interest at any time hereunder, LIBOR shall be not less than 3.14%, in each case calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and for the actual number of calendar days elapsed in each interest calculation period. Interest accrued on each Advance under the Revolving Loans shall be payable in accordance with the procedures provided for in Section 2.5 and Section 2.9 , commencing March 1, 2008 and continuing until the later of the expiration of the Term and the full performance and irrevocable payment in full in cash of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. Interest on outstanding Advances under the Revolving Loans shall accrue from the respective funding dates of the Advances.

2.4 Revolving Facility Disbursements; Requirement to Deliver Borrowing Certificate

          (a) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower may give Agent irrevocable written notice requesting an Advance under the Revolving Facility by notifying Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one (1) but not more than four (4) Business Days before the proposed borrowing date of such requested Advance (the “Borrowing Date” ), and delivering to Agent by noon (New York City time) on the date of the proposed borrowing, a completed Borrowing Certificate and relevant supporting documentation satisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion (which shall only include an Accounts re-aging once each month, as specified below), which shall (a) specify the proposed Borrowing Date of such Advance which shall be a Business Day, (b) specify the principal amount of such requested Advance, (c) certify the matters contained in Section 4.2 , and (d) specify the amount of any known recoupments or setoffs by any third party payor being sought, requested or claimed, or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against Borrower to the extent not otherwise reflected in the calculation of Availability. Each time a request for an Advance is made, and, in any event and regardless of whether an Advance is being requested, each month during the Term until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in cash in full and this Agreement is terminated, Borrower shall deliver to Agent a Borrowing Certificate accompanied by a separate detailed aging and categorization of Borrower’s accounts receivable, and such other supporting documentation with respect to the figures and information in the Borrowing Certificate as Agent shall request in its Permitted Discretion from a credit or security perspective or otherwise. On each Borrowing Date, Borrower irrevocably authorizes Agent to disburse the proceeds of the requested Advance to the Borrower’s account(s) as set forth on Schedule 2.4 , in all cases for credit to the Borrower (or to such other account as to which the Borrower shall instruct Agent) via Federal funds wire transfer no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. If Borrower’s Borrowing Certificate does not request the same dollar amount as that which Borrower estimated in its notification to Agent, Borrower agrees to pay any interest cost incurred by Agent in connection with such estimated funds.

          (b) Lender, in its sole discretion, also may make additional Advances to Borrower without the requirement of a Borrowing Certificate ( “Automatic Advance” ). The amount of such

Automatic Advances shall be that amount, if any, necessary to make the total outstanding Advances at any one time equal to the Minimum Balance, or such lesser amount as Lender may elect to advance in its sole discretion. Agent shall provide prompt notice to Borrower after the making of any Automatic Advance.

2.5 Collections; Repayment; Borrowing Availability and Lockbox

          Borrower shall maintain a lockbox together with a blocked account (individually and collectively, the “Blocked Account” ) with one or more banks acceptable to Agent (each, a “Lockbox Bank” ), and shall execute with each Lockbox Bank one or more agreements acceptable to Agent in its Permitted Discretion (individually and collectively, the “Lockbox Agreement” ), and such other agreements related thereto as Agent may require in its Permitted Discretion. Borrower shall ensure that all collections of its Accounts and all other cash payments received by Borrower are paid and delivered directly from Account Debtors and other Persons into the Blocked Account. The Lockbox Agreements shall provide that the Lockbox Banks on each Business Day will promptly transfer all funds paid into the Blocked Accounts into a depository account or accounts maintained by Agent or an Affiliate of Agent at such bank as Agent may communicate to Borrower from time to time (the “Concentration Account” ). Notwithstanding and without limiting any other provision of any Loan Document, Agent shall apply to the Obligations, on a daily basis, all funds transferred into the Concentration Account pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement and this Section 2.5 in such order and manner as determined by Agent. To the extent that any Accounts collections of Borrower or any other cash payments received by Borrower are not sent directly to the Blocked Account but are received by Borrower or any of its Affiliates, such collections and proceeds shall be held in trust for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and promptly remitted (and in any event within two (2) Business Days), to the Blocked Account for transfer to the Concentration Account. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that compliance with the terms of this Section 2.5 is an essential term of this Agreement, and that, in addition to and notwithstanding any other rights Agent may have hereunder, under any other Loan Document, under applicable law or at equity, upon each material failure by Borrower to comply with any such terms which is not promptly remedied, Agent shall be entitled to assess a non-compliance fee which shall operate to increase the Applicable Rate by two percent (2.0%) per annum during any period of non-compliance, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default occurs or is declared; provided , that nothing shall prevent Agent from considering any failure to comply with the terms of this Section 2.5 to be a Default or an Event of Default. All funds transferred to the Concentration Account for application to the Obligations under the Revolving Facility shall be applied to reduce the Obligations under the Revolving Facility, but, only for purposes of calculating interest hereunder, shall be subject to a two (2) Business Day clearance period unless the net Advance balance is zero or a credit at the end of the day in which case collection swept to the Concentration Account for such day will not be subject to the two (2) Business Day clearance period. If as the result of collections of Accounts and/or any other cash payments received by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.5 a credit balance exists with respect to the Concentration Account, such credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of a Borrower, but shall be available to Borrower upon Borrower’s demand therefor. If applicable, at any time prior to the execution of all or any of the Lockbox Agreements and operation of the Blocked Account, Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall direct all collections or proceeds it receives on Accounts or from other Collateral to the accounts(s) and in the manner specified by Agent in its sole discretion.

2.6 [Reserved]

2.7 [Reserved]

2.8 [Reserved]

2.9 Manner of Payment; Promise to Pay

          (a) Any payments made by Borrower (other than payments automatically paid through Advances under the Revolving Facility as provided herein), shall be made only by ACH or wire transfer on the date when due, without offset or counterclaim, in Dollars, in immediately available funds to such account as may be indicated in writing by Agent to Borrower from time to time. Any such payment received after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on any date shall be deemed received on the following Business Day. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due or shall become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to, and such payment shall be made on, the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time in such case shall be included in the computation of payment of any interest (at the interest rate then in effect during such extension) and/or fees, as the case may be. Agent will provide detailed monthly invoices of such charges and payments.

          (b) Borrower absolutely and unconditionally promises to pay the Obligations hereunder in accordance with the manner and terms hereof, without any deduction whatsoever, without setoff, recoupment or counterclaim, each of which claim or defense hereby is waived.

2.10 Repayment of Excess Advances

          If at any time the sum of outstanding Advances under the Revolving Facility plus any Unfunded L/C Exposure exceeds the lesser of the Facility Cap or the Availability, such excess amount shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower without the necessity of any demand, at the Payment Office, whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing and shall be paid in the manner specified in Section 2.9 .

2.11 [Reserved]

2.12 [Reserved]

2.13 [Reserved]

2.14 Payments by Agent

          Should any amount required to be paid under any Loan Document remain unpaid for ten (10) Business Days from the date due, such amount may be paid by Agent, for the account of Lenders, which payment shall be deemed a request for an Advance under the Revolving Facility as of the date such payment is due, and Borrower irrevocably authorizes disbursement of any such funds to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, by way of direct payment of the relevant amount, interest or Obligations. No payment or prepayment of any amount by Agent, Lenders or any other Person shall entitle any Person to be subrogated to the rights of Agent and/or Lenders under any Loan Document unless and until the Obligations have been fully performed and paid irrevocably in cash and this Agreement has been terminated. Any sums expended by Agent and/or Lenders as a result of Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s

failure to pay, perform or comply with any Loan Document or any of the Obligations may be charged to Borrower’s account as an Advance under the Revolving Facility and added to the Obligations.

2.15 Grant of Security Interest; Collateral

          (a) To secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Lenders, a continuing first priority security interest in and Lien upon, and pledges to Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Lenders, all of its right, title and interest in and to the following, together with property of a similar nature which each such Borrower owns or in which each such Borrower hereafter acquires any right, title or interest (collectively and each individually, the “ Collateral ”):

               (i) all of such Borrower’s tangible personal property, including without limitation all present and future Goods, Inventory and Equipment (including items of Equipment which are or become Fixtures), now owned or hereafter acquired, but excluding any leased or financed Equipment;

               (ii) all of such Borrower’s intangible personal property, including without limitation all present and future Accounts, securities, contract rights, Permits, General Intangibles, Chattel Paper, Investment Property, Intellectual Property including goodwill, Documents, Instruments and Deposit Accounts, Letter of Credit Rights and supporting obligations rights to the payment of money or other forms of consideration of any kind, tax refunds, insurance proceeds (including, without limitation, proceeds of any life insurance policy), now owned or hereafter acquired, and all intangible and tangible personal property relating to or arising out of any of the foregoing;

               (iii) all of such Borrower’s present and future Government Contracts and rights thereunder and the related Government Accounts and proceeds thereof, now or hereafter owned or acquired by such Borrower; provided , however , that Agent shall not have a Lien in any rights under any Government Contract of such Borrower or in the related Government Account where the taking of such security interest would be prohibited by applicable law (for purposes of this limitation, the fact that a Government Contract is subject to, or otherwise refers to, Title 31, § 203 or Title 41, § 15 of the United States Code shall not be deemed an express prohibition against assignment thereof); and

               (iv) any and all additions and accessions to any of the foregoing, and any and all replacements, products and proceeds (including insurance proceeds) of any of the foregoing.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15 , such grant of a security interest shall not extend to, and the term “Collateral” shall not include, any General Intangibles of Borrower to the extent that (but only to the extent that) (i) such General Intangibles are not assignable or capable of being encumbered as a matter of law or under the terms of any license or other agreement applicable thereto (but solely to the extent that any such restriction shall be enforceable under applicable law) without the consent of the licensor thereof or other applicable party thereto, and (ii) such consent has not been obtained; provided , however , that the foregoing grant of a security interest shall extend to, and the term “Collateral” shall include, each of the following: (a) any General Intangible which is in the nature of an Account or a right to the payment of money or a proceed of, or otherwise related to the enforcement or collection of, any Account or right to the payment of money, or goods which are the subject of any Account or right to the payment of money, (b) any and all proceeds of any General Intangible that is otherwise excluded to the extent that the assignment, pledge or encumbrance of such proceeds is not so restricted, and (c) upon obtaining the consent of any such licensor or other applicable party with respect to any such otherwise excluded General Intangible, such General Intangible as well as

any and all proceeds thereof that might theretofor have been excluded from such grant of a security interest and from the term “Collateral.”

          (c) In addition to the foregoing, to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, ASG has pledged to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, all of the securities of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Stock Pledge Agreement.

          (d) Each Borrower has full right and power to grant to Agent a perfected, first priority security interest and Lien in the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and upon the filing of the necessary financing statements, which Borrower hereby authorizes Agent to file, and delivery of any necessary stock certificates, without any further action, Agent will have a good, valid and perfected first priority Lien and security interest in the Collateral, subject to no transfer or other restrictions or Liens of any kind in favor of any other Person except for Permitted Liens. No financing statement relating to any of the Collateral will be, on the Closing Date, on file in any public office except those (a) on behalf of Agent, and (b) in connection with Permitted Liens. Borrower is not a party to any agreement, document or instrument that conflicts with this Section 2.15 or that otherwise relates to a security interest in, assignment of, or Lien upon the Collateral.

2.16 Collateral Administration

          (a) Except as permitted pursuant to Sections 7.8(a) and 7.8(b), all Collateral (except Deposit Accounts and Collateral having an aggregate value of $50,000 or less at any one location) will at all times be kept by Borrower at the locations set forth on Schedule 5.4 hereto, which may be amended from time to time, and shall not, without thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice to Agent, be moved therefrom, and in any case shall not be moved outside the continental United States. Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred, any of the Agent’s officers, employees, representatives or agents shall have the right, at any time during normal business hours, in the name of Agent, any designee of Agent, or Borrower, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to the Collateral. Borrower shall cooperate fully with Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude such verification process. Notwithstanding anything in this subsection to the contrary, Agent shall have the right at all times after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default to notify Persons owing Accounts to Borrower that their Accounts have been assigned to Agent and to collect such Accounts directly in its own name and to charge collection costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, to Borrower.

          (b) As and when determined by Agent in its Permitted Discretion, Agent will perform the searches described in clauses (i) and (ii) below against Borrower or any Guarantor (the results of which are to be consistent with Borrower’s representations and warranties under this Agreement), on a quarterly basis at Borrower’s expense, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in which case such searches shall be conducted as often as Agent deems reasonably appropriate at Borrower’s expense: (i) UCC searches with the Secretary of State and local filing offices of each jurisdiction where Borrower and/or any Guarantors are organized; and (ii) judgment, federal tax lien and corporate and partnership tax lien searches, in each jurisdiction searched under clause (i) above, and in any jurisdiction where Borrower or Guarantors maintain their respective offices or place of business or material assets to the extent that the UCC would permit a filing in such jurisdiction to attach a security interest in or Lien upon any Collateral. Agent will (i) upon Borrower’s request and at Borrower’s expense, provide copies of any such searches to Borrower and (ii) will use a search service with which Agent has a discount arrangement in an effort to minimize the expense of such searches.

          (c) Upon Agent’s request, Borrower shall immediately deliver to Agent all items for which Lender must receive possession to obtain a perfected Lien and all notes, certificates, and

documents of title, Chattel Paper, warehouse receipts, Instruments, and any other similar instruments constituting Collateral.

          (d) Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of its Accounts and all payments and collections thereon and shall submit such records to Agent on such periodic bases as Agent may request in its Permitted Discretion. In addition, if Accounts of Borrower in an aggregate face amount in excess of $500,000 become ineligible because they fall within one of the specified categories of ineligibility set forth in the definition of Eligible Billed Receivables or Eligible Unbilled Receivables, Borrower shall notify Agent of such occurrence within two (2) Business Days following its discovery of such occurrence and the Borrowing Base shall thereupon be adjusted to reflect such occurrence. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, and upon Agent’s request, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent formal written assignments of all of its Accounts weekly or daily as Agent may request, including all Accounts created since the date of the last assignment, together with copies of claims, invoices and/or other information related thereto.

          (e) Borrower (i) shall provide prompt written notice to its current bank to transfer all items, collections and remittances to the Concentration Account, and to any Account Debtor not remitting to the Blocked Account, to do so promptly, (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, and upon Agent’s request, shall provide prompt written notice to each Account Debtor that Agent has been granted a lien and security interest in, upon and to all Accounts applicable to such Account Debtor, and shall direct each Account Debtor to make payments directly to Lender’s Concentration Account; and (iii) shall do anything further that may be lawfully required by Agent to secure Agent, for the benefit of itself and Lenders, and to effectuate the intentions of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, for purposes of clause (i) hereof, upon any failure to send such notices and directions within twenty (20) calendar days after the date of this Agreement (or twenty (20) calendar days after the Person becomes an Account Debtor), and for purposes of clause (ii) hereof, promptly following the occurrence and continuation of such Event of Default, to send any and all similar notices and directions to such Account Debtors.

2.17 Power of Attorney

     Agent hereby is irrevocably made, constituted and appointed the true and lawful attorney for Borrower (without requiring Borrower to act as such) with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to do the following: (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, endorse the name of any such Person upon any and all checks, drafts, money orders and other instruments for the payment of money that are payable to such Person and constitute collections on such Person’s Accounts; (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, execute in the name of Borrower any financing statements, schedules, assignments, instruments, documents, and statements that it is obligated to give Agent under any of the Loan Documents; and (iii) do such other and further acts and deeds in the name of Borrower that Agent may deem necessary or desirable to enforce or to perfect Agent’s security interest or lien or rights in any Collateral. In addition, if the Borrower breaches its obligation hereunder to direct payments of Accounts within the time periods specified herein to the Blocked Account, Agent, as the irrevocably made, constituted and appointed true and lawful attorney for the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, may, by the signature or other act of any of Agent’s officers or authorized signatories (without requiring any of them to do so), direct any federal, state or private payor or fiscal intermediary to pay proceeds of Accounts or any other Collateral to the Blocked Account.

2.18 Letters of Credit

          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Agent agrees to cause an L/C Issuer at any time and from time to time after the date hereof and prior to the Termination Date to

issue standby letters of credit which comply with the provisions of this Section 2.18 for the account of Borrower (each such standby letter of credit, and each Existing Letter of Credit, a “ Letter of Credit ”) or to purchase participations or execute indemnities or reimbursement obligations (each such undertaking, an “ L/C Undertaking ”) with respect to Letters of Credit issued by an Underlying Issuer for the account of Borrower (in which case, Agent agrees to cause such Underlying Issuer to issue Letters of Credit which comply with the provisions of this Section 2.18 for the account of Borrower; provided , however , that an L/C Issuer will not be required to issue, purchase or execute a requested Letter of Credit, and Agent will not be required to cause same, if any of the following would result after giving effect thereto: the L/C Exposure would (i) exceed the L/C Sublimit or (ii) when taken together with the outstanding Advances, would exceed the lesser of the Facility Cap or the Availability, without duplication.

          (b) Borrower may from time to time request L/C Issuer to assist Borrower in establishing or opening a Letter of Credit by delivering to L/C Issuer, with a copy to Agent, the L/C Issuer’s standard form of standby letter of credit application (the “ Letter of Credit Application ”) completed to the satisfaction of the L/C Issuer (in the exercise of its sole discretion), and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as Agent or L/C Issuer may reasonably request. If requested by Agent or L/C Issuer, Borrower also shall be an applicant under the application with respect to any Underlying Letter of Credit that is to be the subject of an L/C Undertaking. Borrower acknowledges that the issuance of any Letter of Credit shall occur no sooner than five (5) Business Days following the submission of a Letter of Credit Application to, and to the satisfaction of, the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion); provided, however, that Agent shall use good faith efforts to cause the L/C Issuer to issue an Letter of Credit within ten (10) Business Days following the submission of a Letter of Credit Application to, and to the satisfaction of, the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion).

          (c) Each Letter of Credit (and each corresponding Underlying Letter of Credit) shall, among other things, (i) be for a standby letter of credit, (ii) be in form and substance acceptable to the L/C Issuer (in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion), including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars, (iii) subject to Section 2.18(e), have an expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit’s date of issuance and in no event later than 30 days prior to the Termination Date and (iv) be issued for the purpose for which the Borrower has historically obtained letters of credit, or for such other purpose as is reasonably acceptable to Agent, and, in all cases, for a purpose permitted for use of proceeds hereunder. Each Letter of Credit Application and each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, and any amendments or revisions thereof (“ UCP ”).

          (d) Borrower shall authorize and direct the L/C Issuer and each Underlying Issuer to name Borrower as the “Account Party” therein and to accept and rely upon the Agent’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the issuance of the Letters of Credit and the applications therefor.

          (e) If a requested Letter of Credit is to have or is for the purpose of replacing an existing Letter of Credit that has an expiry date which is after the Maturity Date, then Borrower shall, at least 15 days prior to the Maturity Date, provide a “back-to-back” letter of credit to Agent in form, and substance satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion. Such back-to-back letter of credit shall be issued by a bank satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion, in an amount equal to the Relevant Percentage of the then undrawn stated amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. In the alternative, Borrower may deposit cash in the Agent Collateral Account in an amount equal to the Relevant Percentage of the then undrawn stated amount of each such outstanding Letter of Credit with respect to which a “back-to-back” letter of credit has not been issued to Agent. Notwithstanding the provision of such “back-to-back letter(s) of credit and/or the funding of such Agent Collateral Account, Borrower shall remain liable pursuant to the

terms of this Agreement for all L/C Exposure until such time as (i) each such Letter of Credit (x) expires by its terms without any draws being made in respect thereof or (y) has been returned to Agent undrawn and marked “cancelled” and, (ii) all Funded L/C Exposure continued as Advances pursuant to Section 2.18(f) has been repaid in full in cash by Borrower. For this purpose “Relevant Percentage” means, as of the Maturity Date and each date prior to the one-year anniversary thereof, 105%, and from and after each one-year anniversary of the Maturity Date, two percent (2%) more than the Relevant Percentage as of the preceding annual anniversary.

          (f) Any payment by Agent in respect of any Letter of Credit or L/C Undertaking shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by Agent of an Advance in the amount of such payment. All Funded L/C Exposure shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the interest rate charged to other Advances. With respect to each Advance made pursuant to this Section 2.18, the Borrower shall be deemed to have certified the statements contained in Section V as of the date the payment constituting such Advance was made by Agent; provided , however , that in the event any such statement was not true and correct as of such date, such Advance shall be repayable on demand; provided , further , that upon any such repayment on demand, the failure of any such statement to be true and correct as of such date shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder, unless the failure of any such statement to be true and correct as of such date would have constituted an Event of Default hereunder even if such repaid Advance had never been made.

          (g) The obligations of Borrower for Advances that arise as a result of payments in respect of or draws under Letters of Credit or L/C Undertakings shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, to the extent permitted by law, including without limitation, (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or L/C Undertaking, (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or L/C Undertaking or against Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or Underlying Issuer; (iii) the fact that, or any allegation that, any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit or L/C Undertaking is or was forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect, or any statement therein is or was untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) any breach of contract or dispute among or between the Borrower, Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person; (v) payment by the Agent, any Lender or L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit or L/C Undertaking against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or L/C Undertaking; (vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, which is similar to any of the foregoing; or (vii) the fact that any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (it being understood that any such payment by the Borrower of its Obligations in respect of any such Advance shall be without prejudice to, and shall not constitute a waiver of any rights any party hereto may have or might acquire against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or L/C Undertaking or against any L/C Issuer).

          (h) On the first day of each month, commencing on the first such day following the Closing Date and continuing thereafter until the date the Unfunded L/C Exposure has been reduced to zero, including on the Termination Date, the Borrower shall pay to Agent, in arrears, for the account of Agent and each other Lender in accordance with their respective participations in each Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Fee.

          (i) The aggregate stated amount available for Letters of Credit and L/C Undertakings guaranteed or issued by any L/C Issuer from time to time outstanding shall not exceed the L/C Sublimit.

          (j) On demand by Agent at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower will cause to be deposited and maintained in an account as directed by Agent, cash collateral in an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the Unfunded L/C Exposure, and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent, in its discretion, on Borrower’s behalf and in Borrower’s name, to open such an account and to make and maintain deposits therein, or in an account opened by Borrower, in the amounts required to be maintained by Borrower, out of the proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral or out of any funds of Borrower coming into Agent’s possession at any time. Borrower may not withdraw amounts credited to any such account except upon the earlier of (i) payment and performance in full of all Obligations (other than indemnity obligations under the Loan Documents that are not then due and payable or for which any events or claims that would give rise thereto are not then pending), termination of this Agreement and termination, replacement or cash collateralization of all then outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) at such time as such Event of Default no longer exists.

          (k) In connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, Borrower shall indemnify, save and hold Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer harmless from any loss, cost, expense or liability, including, without limitation, payments made by Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer, and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer arising out of, or in connection with, any Letter of Credit to be issued for the account of Borrower, except for any such losses, costs, expenses or liabilities arising out of Agent’s, such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Borrower shall be bound by the L/C Issuer’s regulations and reasonable good faith interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued or created for Borrower’s account, although this interpretation may be different from Borrower’s own; and neither Agent, any Lender nor any L/C Issuer, nor any of their respective correspondents shall be liable for any error, negligence, or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrower’s instructions or those contained in any Letter of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto or in issuing or paying any Letter of Credit, except for, and solely to the extent of, Agent’s, such Lender’s, such L/C Issuer’s or such correspondents’ gross negligence or willful misconduct.

          (l) Any other lender hereafter participating in the Revolving Facility (a “ Participant ”) may also participate in the issuance of Letters of Credit and L/C Undertakings contemplated by this Section 2.18 pursuant to the terms hereof, at such percentage interest as is acceptable to Agent and such Participant without any consent of any other party or any further amendment hereto.

          (m) If by reason of (i) any change in any applicable law, treaty, rule, or regulation or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, or (ii) compliance by any L/C Issuer, Underlying Issuer, Agent or any Lender with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority including Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board as from time to time in effect (and any successor thereto):

     (1) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued hereunder, or

     (2) there shall be imposed on Lender, L/C Issuer or any Underlying Issuer any other condition regarding any Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto;

     and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to Agent, such Lender, L/C Issuer or any Underlying Issuer of issuing, making, guaranteeing, or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof by Agent, such Lender, L/C Issuer or any

Underlying Issuer, then, and in any such case, Agent may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Borrower, and Borrower shall pay within two Business Days such amounts as Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate Agent, such Lender L/C Issuer or Underlying Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the Applicable Rate for Advances. The determination by Agent of any amount due pursuant to this Section 2.18, as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.

2.19 Evidence of Loans

          (a) Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its usual practice, electronic or written records evidencing the indebtedness and obligations to each Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including without limitation, the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

          (b) The entries made in the electronic or written records maintained pursuant to this Section 2.19 (the “Register”) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations and indebtedness therein recorded; provided , however , that the failure of the Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans or Obligations in accordance with their terms.

          (c) Agent will account to Borrower monthly with a statement of Advances under the Revolving Facility, and any charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement, and in the absence of manifest error, such accounting rendered by Agent shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive unless Agent is notified by Borrower in writing to the contrary within fifteen (15) calendar days of Receipt of each accounting, which notice shall be deemed an objection only to items specifically objected to therein.

          (d) The Borrower agrees that:

               (i) upon written notice by any Lender to the Borrower that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is requested by such Lender to evidence the Loans and other Obligations owing or payable to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days of any such request) execute and deliver to such Lender an appropriate promissory note or notes in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Lender and Borrower, payable to the order of such Lender or in a principal amount equal to the amount of the Loans owing or payable to such Lender;

          Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, an unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee” ) in an amount equal to 0.0375% per month of the difference derived by subtracting (a) the daily average amount of the balances under the Revolving Facility (including any Unfunded L/C Exposure under the L/C Sublimit) outstanding during the preceding month, from (b) the amount of the Facility Cap on the last day of such month.
