ARTICLE VIII

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES; COMPENSATION

Section 8.01. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, (a) the Bank determines that deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered in the relevant market for such Interest Period or (b) the London Interbank Offered Rate as determined by the Bank will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Bank of funding the Advances for such Interest Period, then the Bank shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower, whereupon until the Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended. Unless the Borrower notifies the Bank at least 2 Domestic Business Days before the date of any Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Prime Rate Borrowing.

Section 8.02. Illegality. If, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any existing or future law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (any such authority, bank or agency being referred to as an “Authority” and any such event being referred to as a “Change of Law”), or compliance by the Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Authority shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Bank to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loan, the Bank shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower, whereupon until the Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of the Bank to make the Euro-Dollar Loan shall be suspended. If the Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any outstanding Euro-Dollar Loan to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the Borrower shall immediately prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of the Euro-Dollar Loan of the Bank, together with accrued interest thereon and any amount due the Bank pursuant to Section 8.05(a). Concurrently with prepaying such Euro-Dollar Loan, the Borrower shall borrow a Prime Rate Loan in an equal principal amount from the Bank, and the Bank shall make such a Prime Rate Loan.

-31-

Section 8.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If after the date hereof, a Change of Law or compliance by the Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Authority:

(i) shall subject the Bank to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan, the Note or its obligation to make a Euro-Dollar Loan, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to the Bank of the principal of or interest on any Euro-Dollar Loan or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of any Euro-Dollar Loan or its obligation to make a Euro-Dollar Loan (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of the Bank imposed by the jurisdiction in which the Bank’s principal executive office is located); or

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any such requirement included in an applicable Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Bank; or

(iii) shall impose on the Bank or on the United States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other condition affecting any Euro-Dollar Loan, the Note or its obligation to make a Euro-Dollar Loan;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Bank of making or maintaining any Euro-Dollar Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Bank under this Agreement or under the Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by the Bank, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Bank for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If the Bank shall have determined that after the date hereof the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any existing or future law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Bank with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any Authority, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Bank’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Bank could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Bank’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by the Bank, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Bank for such reduction.

(c) The Bank will promptly notify the Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle the Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section. A certificate of the Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(d) [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 8.04. Prime Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Euro-Dollar Loans. If (i) the obligation of the Bank to make or maintain a Euro-Dollar Loan has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) the Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.03, and the Borrower shall, by at least 5 Euro-Dollar Business Days’ prior notice to the Bank, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to the Bank, then, unless and until the Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer apply:

(a) all Advances which would otherwise be made by the Bank as part of a Euro-Dollar Loan shall be made instead as a Prime Rate Loan, and

(b) after any Euro-Dollar Loan has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Euro-Dollar Loan shall be applied to repay its Prime Rate Loan instead.

In the event that the Borrower shall elect that the provisions of this Section shall apply to the Bank, the Borrower shall remain liable for, and shall pay to the Bank as provided herein, all amounts due the Bank under Section 8.03 in respect of the period preceding the date of conversion of the Bank’s portion of the Loan resulting from the Borrower’s election.

Section 8.05. Compensation.

(a) any amendment or modification of or supplement to any of the Loan Documents or any other instrument referred to herein or therein, or any assignment or transfer of any thereof or of any interest therein, or any furnishing or acceptance of additional security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(d) any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceeding with respect to the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any property of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary or any unavailability of assets against which the Guaranteed Obligations, or any of them, may be enforced;

(k) any partial prepayment, or any assignment or transfer, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(l) any other circumstance (other than indefeasible payment in full) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor.

The Guarantors hereby absolutely subordinate, both in right of payment and in time of payment, any present and future indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Guarantor to any or all of the Guarantors to the indebtedness of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary to the Bank,provided that the Guarantors may receive scheduled payments of principal, premium (if any) and interest in respect of such present or future indebtedness so long as there is no Event of Default then in existence.

Section 10.08. Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Guarantors hereby waive any right of subrogation (under contract, Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) or any other right of indemnity, reimbursement or contribution and hereby waive any right to enforce any remedy that the Bank now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower, any Guarantor or any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and the Guarantors hereby waive any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Bank to secure payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other liability of the Borrower to the Bank. The waiver contained in this Section shall continue and survive the termination of this Agreement and the final and indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 10.09. Enforcement. In the event that the Guarantors shall fail forthwith to pay upon demand of the Bank any amounts due pursuant to thisArticle X or to perform or comply with or to cause performance or compliance with any other obligation of the Guarantors under this Agreement, the Bank shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid or for the performance of or compliance with such terms, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce such judgment or final decree against the Guarantors and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Guarantors, wherever situated, any monies adjudged or decreed to be payable. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Agreement are continuing obligations and a fresh cause of action shall arise in respect of each default hereunder.

Section 10.10. Miscellaneous. Except as may otherwise be expressly agreed upon in writing, the liability of the Guarantors under this Article X shall neither affect nor be affected by any prior or subsequent guaranty by the Guarantors of any other indebtedness to the Bank. Notwithstanding anything in this Article X to the contrary, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall in no event exceed the maximum amount which could be paid out by such Guarantor without rendering such Guarantor’s obligations under this Article X, in whole or in part, void or voidable under applicable law, including, without limitation, (i) the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended, and (ii) any applicable state or federal law relative to fraudulent conveyances.
