If any of the Loan Parties shall be required by law to deduct any Covered Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Loan or Transaction Document to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, or to the Lenders, the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions of Covered Taxes (including deductions of Covered Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this paragraph), each Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

The Borrower shall have the right to receive that portion of any refund of any Taxes and Other Taxes received by a Lender for which the Borrower has previously paid any additional amount or indemnified such Lender and which leaves the Lender, after the Borrower's receipt thereof, in no better or worse financial position than if no such Taxes or Other Taxes had been imposed or additional amounts or indemnification paid to the Lender and, at the request of the Borrower, each Lender shall make a claim for any refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes.

The obligation of the Loan Parties under this Section 3.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement.

The Borrower shall not be required to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.7 to the extent that the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for the failure of such Lender to comply with this paragraph.

(c) To the extent such lending office already acts as the designated lending office for such Lender with other borrowers, each Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to change its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office to avoid the imposition of any withholding tax subject to this Section 3.7. The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Lender or to pay any additional amounts to any Lender, in respect of withholding tax to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to such withholding tax existed on the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement or, with respect to payments to a new designated lending office, the date such Lender designated such new lending office with respect to the Loans, or (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender to comply with the provisions of paragraph (b) above or (iii) such Lender is treated as a "conduit entity" within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.881-3 or any successor provision.

3.9 Priority of Payment.

All payments received pursuant to Sections 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 shall be applied by the Agent in the following manner:

First, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) of the Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lenders under the Transaction Documents, including all court costs (whether at trial, appellate or administrative levels) of the Agent and its agents, representatives, and attorneys incurred in connection with the sale or with the retaking, holding, handling, preparing for sale (or other disposition) of the Collateral and all other fees and expenses incurred by the Agent for which it is entitled to payment or reimbursement pursuant to Section 11.4 hereof or pursuant to any other Transaction Document;

3.10 Maximum Lawful Rate.

This Agreement, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents are hereby limited by this Section 3.10. In no event, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of the amounts due hereunder or otherwise, shall interest and fees contracted for, charged, received, paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under such applicable Law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest and fees would otherwise be payable to the

Agent or the Lenders in excess of the maximum amount permissible under applicable Law, the interest and fees shall at any time be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable Law. If from any circumstance, the Agent or the Lenders shall have received anything of value deemed interest by applicable Law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excess of interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount of the Loans, in such manner as may be determined by the Agent, and not to the payment of fees or interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of the principal amount of the Loans, such excess shall be refunded to the Loan Parties.

The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.11 shall survive the payments of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement.

3.12 Certain Waivers.

Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, the Borrower unconditionally waives (a) any rights to presentment, demand, protest or (except as expressly required hereby) notice of any kind, and (b) any rights of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment of the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement that the Borrower may have or claim against any Lender, the Agent or any prior Lender or Agent, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender, the Agent or such prior Lender or Agent.

3.13 Payments.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the Borrower timely sent required payments hereunder to the appropriate bank account designated by Agent (in accordance with the terms hereof) using the appropriate wiring instructions designated by Agent (in accordance with the terms hereof) and through no fault of the Borrower such payments are not credited to such account within the time period set forth herein, no payment default shall have occurred so long as documentation reasonably acceptable to Agent of the above facts are promptly provided to Agent upon Agent's request.

ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS; LOST NOTES; REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS

6.1 Assignments.

(a) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignee (any such Person, an "Assignee") all or any portion of such Lender's loans and commitments hereunder,

40 with the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required for an assignment by a Lender to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of a Lender or a Person described in clause (A)(v) of the definition of Eligible Assignee); provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Lender will provide at least ten (10) Business Days' prior written notice of its intent to assign all or any portion of its Loans to Borrower and such notice shall contain a list of proposed assignees; provided, further, so long as no Significant Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall approve of or reject (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall not be required for an assignment by a Lender to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of a Lender or a Person described in clause (A)(v) of the definition of Eligible Assignee) each such proposed assignee for such proposed assignment prior to the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period beginning upon Borrower's receipt of such notice of the proposed assignment and such assigning Lender shall only negotiate with the proposed assignees approved of by Borrower (in accordance with this Section) or with proposed assignees suggested by Borrower during such ten (10) Business Day period). Except as the Agent may otherwise agree, any such assignment (other than any assignment by a Lender to a Lender or an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender or a Person described in clause (A)(v) of the definition of Eligible Assignee) shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 or, if less, the entire commitment or the principal amount of the loan being assigned. The Borrower and the Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to an Assignee until the Agent shall have received and accepted an effective assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto (an "Assignment Agreement") executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto and a processing fee of $3,500 to be paid by the Lender to whom such interest is assigned; provided that (x) no such fee shall be payable in connection with any assignment by a Lender to a Lender or an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender and (y) no Assignment Agreement shall be required in connection with assignments by ACAS or any of its Affiliates to ACAS or any of its Affiliates. No assignment may be made to any Person if at the time of such assignment the Borrower would be obligated to pay any greater amount under Section 3 to the Assignee than the Borrower is then obligated to pay to the assigning Lender under such Section (and if any assignment is made in violation of the foregoing, the Borrower will not be required to pay such greater amounts). Any attempted assignment not made in accordance with this Section 6.1 shall be treated as the sale of a participation hereunder. The Borrower shall be deemed to have granted its consent to any assignment requiring its consent hereunder unless the Borrower has expressly objected to such assignment within three (3) Business Days after notice thereof.

(b) From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (i) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to such Assignee pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its rights (other than its indemnification rights) and obligations hereunder. Upon the reasonable request of the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to an effective Assignment Agreement, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent for delivery to the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) Notes in the principal amount of the Assignee's pro rata share of the

41 Revolving Facility Commitment and the principal amount of the Assignee's pro rata share of each term loan (and, as applicable, Notes in the principal amount of the pro rata share of the Revolving Facility Commitment and each Term Loan retained by the assigning Lender) and the applicable assigning Lender shall deliver the Notes so assigned to the Borrower for cancellation within ten (10) Business Days after the consummation of such assignment.

(c) The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender, and the commitments of, and principal amount of the loans owing to, such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof. The entries in such register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded therein pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to the Agent. Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan shall be registered on such register only upon delivery of a duly executed Assignment Agreement.

(d) The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the preceding provisions of this Section 6.1 concerning assignments of Loans relate only to absolute assignments. In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 6.1, any Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, (A) to any Federal Reserve Bank or (B) to a trustee for the benefit of a Lender's investors or to another representative of a financing party for the assigning Lender.

6.2 Participations.

Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more Persons participating interests in its Loans, commitments and other interests hereunder (any such Person, a "Participant") with the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required for a participation by a Lender to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of a Lender or a Person described in clause (A)(v) of the definition of Eligible Assignee); provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Lender will provide at least ten (10) Business Days' prior written notice of its intent to sell a participation to Borrower and such notice shall contain a list of proposed Participants; provided, further, so long as no Significant Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall approve or reject (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall not be required for a participation by a Lender to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of a Lender or a Person described in clause (A)(v) of the definition of Eligible Assignee) each such proposed Participant for such proposed participation prior to the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period beginning upon Borrower's receipt of such notice of the proposed participation and such selling Lender shall only negotiate with the proposed Participants approved by Borrower (in accordance with this Section) or with proposed Participants suggested by Borrower during such ten (10) Business Day period); provided, further, that the conditions of Section 6.1(a) are satisfied. In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (i) such Lender's obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (ii) the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations hereunder and (iii) all amounts payable by the Borrower shall be

determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender. No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights with respect to its participating interest hereunder except with respect to any event described in Section 9.11 expressly requiring the unanimous vote of all Lenders or, as applicable, all affected Lenders. Each Lender agrees to incorporate the requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement which such Lender enters into with any Participant. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement; provided that such right of set-off shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with the Lenders. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits, and subject to the obligations, of Section 3 as if it were a Lender (provided that no Participant shall receive any greater compensation pursuant to Section 3 than would have been paid to the participating Lender if no participation had been sold).

6.3 Replacement of Lost Notes.

Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower of the mutilation, destruction, loss or theft of any Note and the ownership thereof, the Borrower shall, upon the written request of the holder of such Note, execute and deliver in replacement thereof a new Note in the same form, in the same original principal amount and dated the same date as the Note so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen; and such Note so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen shall then be deemed no longer outstanding hereunder. If the Note being replaced has been mutilated, it shall be surrendered to the Borrower; and if such replaced Note has been destroyed, lost or stolen, such holder shall furnish the Borrower with an indemnity in writing to save it harmless in respect of such replaced Note.

6.4 Replacement of Lenders.

If (i) the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts to any Lender or Participant pursuant to Section 3.7 or 3.11 or (ii) any Lender does not consent to any matter requiring its consent under Section 9.11 when the Required Lenders have otherwise consented to such matter or (iii) any Lender with a Revolving Facility Commitment defaults in its obligation to make Advances under Section 2.3, then the Borrower may within one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter either prepay any Loans then held by such Lender (or by a Lender for such Participant), or designate another Person which is acceptable to the Agent in its reasonable discretion (such other bank being called a "Replacement Lender") to purchase the Loans of such Lender and such Lender's rights hereunder and such Lender or Participant agrees to sell such Loans and rights hereunder to such Replacement Lender, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Lender, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans payable to such Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Loans and all accrued but unpaid fees owed to such Lender and any other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, and to assume all the obligations and commitments of such Lender hereunder, and, upon such purchase and assumption (pursuant to an Assignment Agreement), such Lender or Participant shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights hereunder or with respect hereto (other than rights with respect to indemnities and similar rights applicable to such Lender prior to the date of such purchase and assumption) and shall be relieved from all obligations to the

Borrower hereunder, and the Replacement Lender shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder.

The Agent, and each of its Affiliates may make loans to, purchase securities from, provide services to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Affiliate of the Loan Parties as though the Agent were not the Agent hereunder.

9.8 Successor Agent.

The Agent may, upon thirty (30) days' notice to the Borrower and each Lender, and the Agent will, upon the direction of the Required Lenders (other than the Agent, in its individual capacity), resign as the Agent. If the Agent shall resign, then the Required Lenders during such thirty (30) day period shall appoint a successor the Agent (with the consent of Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and if the Required Lenders direct the Agent to resign, such direction shall include an appointment of a successor the Agent (with the consent of Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). If for any reason no successor the Agent is appointed by the Required Lenders during such thirty (30) day period, then effective upon the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder and the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Loans and obligations hereunder directly to the applicable Lenders and for all purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. After any retiring the Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as the Agent, the provisions of Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ACFS agrees to remain the Agent under this Agreement until ACAS no longer owns any portion of the Loans or Notes.

9.9 Collections and Disbursements.

(a) The Agent will have the right to collect and receive all payments of the Loans and obligations hereunder, and to collect and receive all reimbursements due hereunder, together with all fees, charges or other amounts due under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents with regard to the Loans and obligations hereunder, and the Agent will remit to each Lender, according to its pro rata percentage of the applicable Loans and obligations hereunder as set forth on Annex A attached hereto, all such payments actually received by the Agent (other fees due and owing to the Agent pursuant to the Fee Letter and the fees and expenses of the Agent payable by the Borrower pursuant to Section 11.4 hereof) in accordance with the settlement procedures established by the Agent from time to time. Settlements shall occur on such dates as the Agent may elect in its sole discretion, but which shall be no later than two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof.

(b) If any such payment received by the Agent is rescinded or otherwise required to be returned for any reason at any time, whether before or after termination of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, each Lender will, upon written notice from the Agent, promptly pay over to the Agent its pro rata percentage of the amounts so rescinded or returned, together with interest and other fees thereon so rescinded or returned.

(c) All payments by the Agent and the Lenders to each other hereunder shall be in immediately available funds. The Agent will at all times maintain proper books of accounts and records reflecting the interest of each Lender in the Loans and obligations hereunder, in a manner customary to the Agent's keeping of such records, which books and records shall be available for inspection by each Lender at reasonable times during normal business hours, at such Lender's sole expense. The Agent may treat the payees of any Loan as the holder thereof until written notice of the transfer thereof shall have been received by the Agent in accordance with the provisions hereof. In the event that any Lender shall receive any payment on account of any Loans or obligations hereunder in an amount greater than its applicable pro rata percentage of all amounts received by all Lenders in respect of such class of Loans and obligations hereunder (including amounts obtained by reason of setoffs) such Lender shall hold such excess in trust for the Agent (on behalf of all other Lenders) and shall promptly remit to the Agent such excess amount so that the amounts received by each Lender in respect of such class of Loans and obligations hereunder shall at all times be in accordance with its applicable pro rata percentage. If, however, any Lender that has received any such excess amount fails to remit such amount to the Agent, the Agent shall reallocate the amounts paid on future payment dates to each Lender so that, after giving effect to such payments, the pro rata obligations owed by the Loan Parties to each Lender shall be in an amount equal to the pro rata amount owed by the Loan Parties before the date of the payment of such excess amount. In no event shall any Lender be deemed to have a participation or other right in, to or against any other Lender's Loan as a result of the payment of any excess amount.

9.10 Reporting. During the term of this Agreement, the Agent will promptly furnish each Lender with copies of all notices and financial statements of the Loan Parties required to be delivered or obtained hereunder and such other financial statements and reports and other information in the Agent's possession as any Lender may reasonably request. The Agent will promptly notify the Lenders when it receives actual notice of any Event of Default under the Transaction Documents.

9.11 Consent of Lenders.

(a) Except as expressly provided herein, the Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to service, administer and monitor this Agreement, the Loans and the other Transaction Documents, including the right to exercise all rights, remedies, privileges and options under this Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender shall make its own investment decision with regard to this Agreement and the Loans, including the credit judgment with respect to the making of Loans and the determination as to the basis on which and extent to which Loans may be made.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.11(a) above, the Agent shall not without the prior written consent of all the Lenders then holding Loans and

obligations hereunder: (i) extend any payment date or reduce the amount of any payment due hereunder, including any interest, principal or fees (other than fees owing solely to the Agent), (ii) reduce any interest rate applicable to any of the Loans hereunder or any fee payable to the Lenders hereunder, (iii) waive any Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), (iv) compromise or settle all or a portion of the Loans hereunder, (v) release any obligor from any of the obligations hereunder except in connection with full payment and satisfaction of all such obligations or release all or substantially all of the Collateral, (vi) increase any Loan or commitment hereunder, (vii) amend the definition of the Required Lenders, or (viii) amend this Section 9.11(b).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.11(a) above, and subject to any applicable limitation set forth in Section 9.11(b) above, the Agent shall not, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders: (i) waive any Event of Default; (ii) consent to any Loan Parties' taking any action that, if taken, would constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement or under any of the other Transaction Documents; or (iii) amend or modify or agree to an amendment or modification of this Agreement or other Transaction Documents.

(d) After an acceleration of any obligations hereunder, the Agent shall, upon written instruction from the Required Lenders, exercise or refrain from exercising any and all rights, remedies, privileges and options under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or available at law or in equity to protect the rights of the Agent and the Lenders and collect the Loans hereunder, including instituting and pursuing all legal actions against any Loan Party or to collect such loans, defending any and all actions brought by any Loan Party or other Person, and incurring expenses or otherwise making expenditures to protect the collateral securing the obligations hereunder, the Loans or the Agent's or any Lender's rights or remedies under any Transaction Document or applicable Law.

(e) The Agent shall not increase any Lender's portion of the Revolving Facility Commitment without the prior written consent of such Lender.

9.12 Indemnification.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify upon demand the Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), based on such Lender's pro rata share of the outstanding Loans and commitments, from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, including legal costs, except to the extent any thereof result from the applicable Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including legal costs) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 9.12 shall survive repayment of the Loans,

cancellation of the Notes, expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Transaction Documents, termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.

9.13 Collateral Matters.

The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (a) to release any Lien granted to or held by the Agent under any Transaction Document (i) when all obligations hereunder have been paid in full; (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder (it being agreed and understood that the Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of an officer of the Borrower as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in compliance with this Agreement); or (iii) subject to Section 9.11, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; or (b) to subordinate its interest in any Collateral to any holder of a Lien on such Collateral which is permitted by Section 7.2(b)(iv) (it being understood that the Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate from the Borrower in determining whether the Indebtedness secured by any such Lien is permitted by Section 7.2(a)(v)). Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent's authority to release, or subordinate its interest in, particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.13.

recovery, the obligation hereunder or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent upon demand its ratable share of the total amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agent to the extent paid to such Lender.

11.16 Nonliability of Lenders.

The relationship between the Borrower on the one hand and the Lenders and the Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibility to the Borrower. Neither the Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower's business or operations. Execution of this Agreement by Parent and the Borrower constitutes a full, complete and irrevocable release of any and all claims which such parties may have at law or in equity in respect of all prior discussions and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and Parent and the Borrower hereby waive, release and agree not to sue for, any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages or liabilities.
