Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve Agent from liability for Agent ’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment) in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses ( a ) through ( h ) of such sentence. In no event shall Agent be liable to any Borrower for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses ( including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit .

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by Agent or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit , (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit ; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit , whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order , to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by Agent ; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit ; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of

the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on Agent in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “ Order ”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order , notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit .

In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by Agent under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment) , shall not put Agent under any resulting liability to any Borrower or any Lender .

2.19. Cash Collateral . On demand, following the occurrence of an Event of Default , Borrowers will cause cash to be deposited and maintained in an account with Agent , as cash collateral , in an amount equal to one hundred and five percent (105%) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit , and each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent , in its discretion, on such Borrower’s behalf and in such Borrower’s name, to open such an account and to make and maintain deposits therein, or in an account opened by such Borrower, in the amounts required to be made by such Borrower, out of the proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral or out of any other funds of such Borrower coming into any Lender ’s possession at any time. Agent will invest such cash collateral (less applicable reserves) in such short- term money-market items as to which Agent and such Borrower mutually agree and the net return on such investments shall be credited to such account and constitute additional cash collateral . No Borrower may withdraw amounts credited to any such account except upon the cure of such Event of Default or the occurrence of all of the following: (a) payment and performance in full of all Obligations, (b) expiration of all Letters of Credit and (c) termination of this Agreement .

2.20. Additional Payments . Any sums expended by Agent or any Lender due to any Borrower’s failure to perform or comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document including any Borrower’s obligations under Sections 4.2 , 4.4, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14 and 6.1, may be charged to Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance and added to the Obligations.

2.21. Manner of Borrowing and Payment .

(a) Each borrowing of Revolving Advances shall be advanced according to the applicable Commitment Percentages of Lenders .

(b) Each payment ( including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on the Revolving Advances , shall be applied to the Revolving Advances pro rata according to the applicable Commitment Percentages of Lenders . Except as expressly provided herein , all payments ( including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without set off or counterclaim and shall be made to Agent on behalf of the Lenders to the Payment Office, in each case on or prior to 1:00 P.M. in Dollars and in immediately available funds.

(c) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 2.21(a) and (b) , commencing with the first Business Day following the Closing Date , each borrowing of Revolving Advances shall be advanced by Agent and each payment by any Borrower on account of Revolving Advances shall be applied first to those Revolving Advances advanced by Agent . On or before 1:00 P.M. on each Settlement Date commencing with the first Settlement Date following the Closing Date , Agent and Lenders shall make certain payments as follows: (I) if the aggregate amount of new Revolving Advances made by Agent during the preceding Week (if any) exceeds the aggregate amount of repayments applied to outstanding Revolving Advances during such preceding Week , then each Lender shall provide Agent with funds in an amount equal to its applicable Commitment Percentage of the difference between (w) such Revolving Advances and (x) such repayments and (II) if the aggregate amount of repayments applied to outstanding Revolving Advances during such Week exceeds the aggregate amount of new Revolving Advances made during such Week , then Agent shall provide each Lender with funds in an amount equal to its applicable Commitment Percentage of the difference between (y) such repayments and (z) such Revolving Advances .

(i) Each Lender shall be entitled to earn interest at the applicable Contract Rate on outstanding Revolving Advances which it has funded.

(ii) Promptly following each Settlement Date , Agent shall submit to each Lender a certificate with respect to payments received and Revolving Advances made during the Week immediately preceding such Settlement Date . Such certificate of Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(d) If any Lender or Participant (a “ Benefited Lender ”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Advances , or interest thereon, or receive any Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by set-off) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and Collateral received by any other Lender , if any, in respect of such other Lender ’s Advances , or interest thereon, and such greater proportionate payment or receipt of Collateral is not expressly permitted hereunder , such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participation in such portion of each such other Lender ’s Advances , or shall provide such other Lender with the benefits of any such Collateral , or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such Collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the other Lenders ; provided , however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender , such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest . Each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender ’s Advances may exercise all rights of payment ( including rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

(e) Unless Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its applicable Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Advances available to Agent , Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Lender shall make such amount available to Agent on the next Settlement Date and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. Agent will promptly notify Borrowing Agent of its receipt of any such notice from a Lender . If such amount is made available to Agent on a date after such next

Settlement Date , such Lender shall pay to Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days) during such period as quoted by Agent , times (ii) such amount, times (iii) the number of days from and including such Settlement Date to the date on which such amount becomes immediately available to Agent . A certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (e) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error. If such amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Settlement Date , Agent shall be entitled to recover such an amount, with interest thereon at the rate per annum then applicable to such Revolving Advances hereunder , on demand from Borrowers; provided , however, that Agent ’s right to such recovery shall not prejudice or otherwise adversely affect Borrowers’ rights (if any) against such Lender .

2.22. Mandatory Prepayments . Subject to Section 4.3 , to the extent there are outstanding Advances, when any Borrower sells or otherwise disposes of any Collateral other than Inventory in the Ordinary Course of Business , Borrowers shall repay the Advances in an amount equal to the net proceeds of such sale (i.e., gross proceeds less the reasonable costs of such sales or other dispositions), such repayments to be made promptly but in no event more than one (1) Business Day following receipt of such net proceeds, and until the date of payment, such proceeds shall be held in trust for Agent . The foregoing shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such sale otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions hereof . Such repayments shall be applied to the Revolving Advances or other remaining Advances in such order as Agent may determine, subject to Borrower’s ability to reborrow Revolving Advances in accordance with the terms hereof .

2.23. Use of Proceeds . Borrowers shall apply the proceeds of Advances to (a) to repay existing Indebtedness owed to PNC Bank, National Association, ( b ) partially fund permitted Capital Expenditures , ( c ) fund Permitted Acquisitions and dividends permitted hereunder , ( d ) issue Letters of Credit , ( e ) pay the fees and expenses associated with this transaction at closing, and ( f ) provide for working capital needs and reimburse drawings under Letters of Credit , and ( g ) for other lawful purposes of Parent and its Subsidiaries permitted under the Agreement . Borrower s shall not use, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary , the proceeds of any Advances (A) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (B) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, or (C) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto.

2.24. Defaulting Lender .

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Lender has failed, within two (2) Business Days of the date required hereunder (and such failure constitutes a breach by such Lender of its obligations under this Agreement ) to make available its portion of any Advance , its participation in any Letter of Credit , or any payment due on a Settlement Date , or (x) notifies either Agent or Borrowing Agent that it does not intend to make available its portion of any Advance or any such participation or payment or (y) has otherwise failed to pay over to Agent or any other Lender any other amount required to be paid by it hereunder within two (2) Business Days of the date when due, or (z) has since the date of this Agreement been deemed insolvent by a Governmental Body or become the subject of a

bankruptcy, receivership, monitorship, conservatorship or I nsolvency P roceeding , or has a parent company that since the date of this Agreement been deemed insolvent by a Governmental Body or become the subject of a bankruptcy, receivership, monitorship, conservatorship or I nsolvency P roceeding (each, a “ Lender Default ”), all rights and obligations hereunder of such Lender (a “ Defaulting Lender ”) as to which a Lender Default is in effect and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.24 while such Lender Default remains in effect.

(b) Advances shall be incurred pro rata from Lenders which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective Commitment Percentages , and no Commitment Percentage of any Lender or any pro rata share of any Advances required to be advanced by any Lender shall be increased as a result of such Lender Default . Amounts received in respect of principal of any type of Advances shall be applied to reduce the applicable Advances of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender ) pro rata based on the aggregate of the outstanding Advances of that type of all Lenders at the time of such application; provided , that, Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by Agent for the Defaulting Lender ’s benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder ( including any principal, interest or fees). Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent . Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to a Borrower the amount of such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender .

(c) A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters relating to this Agreement and the Other Documents . All amendments, waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and the Other Documents may be made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition of “ Required Lenders ”, a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a Lender and not to have either Advances outstanding or a Commitment Percentage .

(d) Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.24 , the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender ( including the obligation to indemnify Agent ) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this Section 2.24 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents , shall alter such obligations , shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder , or shall prejudice any rights which any Borrower, Agent or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder .

(e) In the event a Defaulting Lender retroactively cures to the satisfaction of Agent the breach which caused a Lender to become a Defaulting Lender , such Defaulting Lender shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender and shall be treated as a Lender under this Agreement .

2.25. Increase of the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount . Borrowers shall have the option, upon at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Agent , to increase the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount by up to $ 25 ,000,000, subject to the following conditions precedent:

(b) the representations and warranties set forth in Article V shall be true and correct on and as of the date on which such increase is to become effective, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date;

(c) such increase shall be in a minimum amount of $ 5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $ 1,000,000 in excess thereof;

(d) Borrowers shall have solicited and obtained additional lenders to join in this Agreement and provide the additional commitments necessary to fund the increase in the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount , which additional lenders must not be Affiliates of any Borrower and must be acceptable to the Agent and Lenders in their reasonable discretion; provided that any then-existing Lender shall be acceptable;

(e) Agent shall have received all documents ( including appropriate authorizing resolutions) it may reasonably request relating to the corporate or other necessary authority for such increase, and any other matters relevant thereto, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent ;

(f) the Quarterly Liquidity threshold amounts set forth in the pricing table in the definition of Applicable Rate shall be increased by the same percentage increase in the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount ; and

(g) all costs and expenses of Agent and Lenders incurred in connection with any such increase or requested increase, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses shall be paid by Borrowers.

The foregoing option may be exercised once during the Term and such increase shall apply to the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount in effect at the time of the Borrowers’ notice to Agent . Promptly following receipt of a notice under this Section, the Agent shall advise the Lenders thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable. An increase to the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount shall not require or cause a change in the commitment of any existing Lender in effect at such time, unless such existing Lender chooses, in its sole discretion, to fund in whole or in part, the increase in the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount . Agent shall not be obligated to solicit or obtain lenders to provide the additional commitments necessary for such increase.

2.26. Reduction of the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount . Borrowers shall have the option, upon at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Agent , to reduce the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount to no less than $ 6 0,000,000, subject to the following conditions precedent:

Promptly following receipt of a notice under this Section, the Agent shall advise the Lenders thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable.

XV BORROWING AGENCY .

15.1. Borrowing Agency Provisions .

(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates Borrowing Agent to be its attorney and agent and in such capacity to borrow, sign and endorse notes, and execute and deliver all instruments, documents, writings and further assurances now or hereafter required hereunder , on behalf of such Borrower or Borrowers, and hereby authorizes Agent to pay over or credit all loan proceeds hereunder in accordance with the request of Borrowing Agent .

(b) The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing facility with a borrowing agent in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at their request. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall incur liability to Borrowers as a result thereof. To induce Agent and Lenders to do so and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby indemnifies Agent and each Lender and holds Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of damage or injury asserted against Agent or any Lender by any Person arising from or incurred by reason of the handling of the financing arrangements of Borrowers as provided herein , reliance by Agent or any Lender on any request or instruction from Borrowing Agent or any other action taken by Agent or any Lender with respect to this Section 15.1 except due to willful misconduct or gross (not mere) negligence by the indemnified party (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment) .

(c) All Obligations shall be joint and several, and each Borrower shall make payment upon the maturity of the Obligations by acceleration or otherwise, and such obligation and liability on the part of each Borrower shall in no way be affected by any extensions, renewals and forbearance granted to Agent or any Lender to any Borrower, failure of Agent or any Lender to give any Borrower notice of borrowing or any other notice , any failure of Agent or any Lender to pursue or preserve its rights against any Borrower, the release by Agent or any Lender of any Collateral now or thereafter acquired from any Borrower, and such agreement by each Borrower to pay upon any notice issued pursuant thereto is unconditional and unaffected by prior recourse

104

15.2. Waiver of Subrogation . Each Borrower expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution of any other claim which such Borrower may now or hereafter have against the other Borrowers or other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations hereunder , or against or with respect to the other Borrowers’ property ( including, without limitation , any property which is Collateral for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement , until termination of this Agreement and repayment in full of the Obligations.

This guaranty shall in all respects be a continuing, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance (and not of collection), and shall remain in full force and effect (notwithstanding, without limitation, the dissolution of any Borrower). Each Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any defense based upon an election of remedies by Agent or any Lender , including an election to proceed by non-judicial rather than judicial foreclosure, which destroys or impairs any right of subrogation or the right of a Borrower to proceed against any Person for reimbursement or both.

15.4. Subordination .

(c) Each Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that, as provided herein , all indebtedness , intercompany charges and other sums owing and claims of any nature whatsoever owed (other than payments or remittances of employee withholding, wages, pension payments, tax payments, trust funds and similar items) to such Borrower by any other Borrower, Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries (“ Intercompany Obligations ”), the payment of the principal of and interest thereon and any lien or security interest therefor are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to this Agreement or the prior payment in full of: (a) all Obligations now or hereafter incurred by any Borrower under this Agreement or any of the Other Documents , (b) interest thereon ( including any such interest accruing subsequent to the filing by or against any Borrower of any proceeding brought under the Bankruptcy Code , whether or not such interest is allowed as a claim pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code ), and (c) all fees, expenses, indemnities and other amounts now or hereafter payable pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement and all Other Documents (collectively the “ Senior Obligations ”), and any lien on any property or asset securing the Senior Obligations . No payment or prepayment of any Intercompany Obligations (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) shall be made at any time prior to the payment in full, in cash, of the Senior Obligations , provided that the Borrowers may make payments (but not prepayments) of Intercompany Obligations in the Ordinary Course of Business to the extent that such payments are not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement and at the time of, and immediately after giving effect to, any such payment, no Event of Default exists and is continuing. If any default occurs under the Intercompany Obligations , no Borrower will demand, accelerate, declare a default under, sue for, set off, accept, take or receive, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or in any other manner, any payment of all or any part of the

105

Intercompany Obligations without Agent ’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(d) Each Borrower agrees that any right of possession it has to any Real Property (pursuant to a written lease or otherwise) shall be subject and subordinate to the rights of Agent hereunder .

Any judicial proceeding by any Borrower against Agent or any Lender involving, directly or indirectly, any matter or claim in any way arising out of, related to or connected with this Agreement or any related agreement , shall be brought only in a federal or state court located in the State of Ohio .

16.2. Amendments and Waivers .

(a) This Agreement and the documents executed concurrently herewith contain the entire understanding between each Borrower, Agent and each Lender and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof . Any promises, representations, warranties or guarantees not herein contained and hereinafter made shall have no force and effect unless in writing, signed by each Borrower’s, Agent ’s and each Lender ’s respective officers. Neither this Agreement nor any portion or provisions hereof may be changed, modified, amended, waived, supplemented, discharged, cancelled or terminated orally or by any course of dealing, or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing, signed by the party to be charged. Each Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the execution of this Agreement and Other Documents and is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement .

106

(b) The Required Lenders , Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders , and Borrowers may, subject to the provisions of this Section 16.2 (b) , from time to time enter into written supplemental agreements to this Agreement or the Other Documents executed by Borrowers, for the purpose of adding or deleting any provisions or otherwise changing, varying or waiving in any manner the rights of Lenders , Agent or Borrowers thereunder or the conditions, provisions or terms thereof or waiving any Event of Default thereunder, but only to the extent specified in such written agreements; provided , however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of all Lenders :

(i) increase the Commitment Percentage , the maximum dollar commitment of any Lender or the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount .

(ii) extend the maturity of any Note or the due date for any amount of interest , fees, or principal payable hereunder (other than mandatory prepayments), or decrease the rate of interest or reduce any fee payable by Borrowers to Lenders pursuant to this Agreement .

(iii) alter the definition of the term Required Lenders or alter, amend or modify this Section 16.2.

(iv) release any Collateral during any calendar year (other than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement ) having an aggregate value in excess of $ 1,00 0,000.

(v) change the rights and duties of Agent .

(vi) permit any Revolving Advance to be made if after giving effect thereto the total of Revolving Advances outstanding hereunder would exceed the Formula Amount for more than sixty (60) consecutive Business Days or exceed one hundred and five percent (105%) of the Formula Amount .

(vii) increase the Advance Rates above the Advance Rates in effect on the Closing Date.

(viii) release any Borrower or Guarantor (other than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement ).

Any such supplemental agreement shall apply equally to each Lender and shall be binding upon Borrowers, Lenders and Agent and all future holders of the Obligations. In the case of any waiver, Borrowers, Agent and Lenders shall be restored to their former positions and rights, and any Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no waiver of a specific Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default (whether or not the subsequent Event of Default is the same as the Event of Default which was waived), or impair any right consequent thereon.

(c) In the event that Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to Section 16.2(b) and such consent is denied, then HNB may, at its option, require such Lender to assign its interest in the Advances to HNB or to another Lender or to any other Person designated by the Agent (the “ Designated Lender ”), for a price equal to (i) the then outstanding principal amount

107

thereof plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest and fees due such Lender , which interest and fees shall be paid when collected from Borrowers. In the event HNB elects to require any Lender to assign its interest to HNB or to the Designated Lender , HNB will so notify such Lender in writing within forty five (45) days following such Lender ’s denial, and such Lender will assign its interest to HNB or the Designated Lender no later than five (5) days following receipt of such notice pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by such Lender , HNB or the Designated Lender , as appropriate, and Agent .

(d) Notwithstanding (a) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default , (b) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied or (c) any other provision of this Agreement , Agent may at its discretion and without the consent of the Required Lenders , voluntarily permit the outstanding Revolving Advances at any time to exceed the Formula Amount by up to five percent (5%) of the Formula Amount for up to sixty (60) consecutive days (the “ Out-of-Formula Loans ”). If Agent is willing in its sole and absolute discretion to make such Out-of-Formula Loans , such Out-of-Formula Loans shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate for Revolving Advances consisting of Domestic Rate Loans ; provided that, if Lenders do make Out-of-Formula Loans , neither Agent nor Lenders shall be deemed thereby to have changed the limits of Section 2.1(a) . For purposes of this paragraph, the discretion granted to Agent hereunder shall not preclude involuntary overadvances that may result from time to time due to the fact that the Formula Amount was unintentionally exceeded for any reason, including , but not limited to, Collateral previously deemed to be either “ Eligible Receivables ” or “ Eligible Inventory ”, as applicable, becomes ineligible, collections of Receivables applied to reduce outstanding Revolving Advances are thereafter returned for insufficient funds or overadvances are made to protect or preserve the Collateral . In the event Agent involuntarily permits the outstanding Revolving Advances to exceed the Formula Amount by more than five percent (5%), Agent shall use its efforts to have Borrowers decrease such excess in as expeditious a manner as is practicable under the circumstances and not inconsistent with the reason for such excess. Revolving Advances made after Agent has determined the existence of involuntary overadvances shall be deemed to be involuntary overadvances and shall be decreased in accordance with the preceding sentence.

(e) In addition to (and not in substitution of) the discretionary Revolving Advances permitted above in this Section 16.2 , the Agent is hereby authorized by Borrowers and the Lenders , from time to time in the Agent ’s sole discretion, ( i ) after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default , or ( ii ) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied, to make Revolving Advances to Borrowers on behalf of the Lenders which the Agent , in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable ( 1 ) to preserve or protect the Collateral , or any portion thereof, ( 2 ) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Advances and other Obligations, or ( 3 ) to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement ; provided , that at any time after giving effect to any such Revolving Advances the outstanding Revolving Advances do not exceed the lesser of: ( A ) one hundred and five percent (105%) of the Formula Amount , and ( B ) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount .

16.3. Successors and Assigns; Participations; New Lenders .

108

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers, Agent , each Lender , all future holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender .

(b) Each Borrower acknowledges that in the regular course of commercial banking business one or more Lenders may at any time and from time to time sell participating interests in the Advances to other financial institutions (each such transferee or purchaser of a participating interest , a “ Participant ”). Each Participant may exercise all rights of payment ( including rights of set-off) with respect to the portion of such Advances held by it or other Obligations payable hereunder as fully as if such Participant were the direct holder thereof provided that Borrowers shall not be required to pay to any Participant more than the amount which it would have been required to pay to Lender which granted an interest in its Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to such Participant had such Lender retained such interest in the Advances hereunder or other Obligations payable hereunder and in no event shall Borrowers be required to pay any such amount arising from the same circumstances and with respect to the same Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to both such Lender and such Participant .

(g) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, unless the Obligations are then due in full or a notice of termination of this Agreement has been issued, no Lender may assign or participate any of its interests hereunder to a competitor of any Borrower. As used herein , the term “ competitor ” means a Person which derives greater than 50% of its revenues from the same or a similar line of business as any Borrower or any Affiliate of such Person .

(h) Each Borrower shall be deemed to consent to the addition of a Transferee (and, if applicable, the resulting adjustment of the Revolving Percentages arising from the purchase by a Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender

110

under this Agreement and the Other Documents ), to the extent such Transferee is Agent or a Lender, or an Affiliate of Agent or any Lender , or to the extent such addition is made during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default . If no Default or Event of Default is continuing at the time which a Transferee is selected and such Transferee is not Agent or a Lender, or an Affiliate of Agent or any Lender , the transferor Lender shall provide Borrowing Agent with notice of the identity of the proposed Transferee and a five (5) Business Day period to object the identity of the proposed Transferee on any reasonable grounds.
