"2.1 LOANS.
(a) REVOLVING LOANS. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, the Lender agrees to make
Advances to the Borrowers under the Revolving Credit Facility
from time to time from the Closing Date until the Revolving
Credit Termination Date up to but not exceeding the Revolving
Credit Commitment, PROVIDED, however, that the Lender will not
be required and shall have no obligation to make any such
Advance (i) so long as a Default or an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing or (ii) if the Lender has
accelerated the maturity of the Revolving Note as a result of
an Event of Default; PROVIDED further, however, that
immediately after giving effect to each such Advance, the
principal amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings plus Letter
of Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit
Commitment. Within such limits, the Borrowers may borrow,
repay and reborrow under the Revolving Credit Facility on a
Business Day from the Closing Date until, but (as to
borrowings and reborrowings) not including, the Revolving
Credit Termination Date; PROVIDED, however, that (y) no
Revolving Loan that is a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made
which has an Interest Period that extends beyond the Stated
Termination Date and (z) each Revolving Loan that is a
Eurodollar Rate Loan may, subject to the provisions of SECTION
2.6, be repaid only on the last day of the Interest Period
with respect thereto unless such payment is accompanied by the
additional payment, if any, required by SECTION 4.5.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sum of outstanding
Revolving Loans made to and Letters of Credit issued for the
benefit of TTI and WFI, and in the case of Letters of Credit
those issued for the benefit of any Subsidiary of TTI or WFI,
shall at no time exceed $5,000,000.
(b) 364 DAY FACILITY. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, the Lender agrees to make
Advances to the Borrowers under the 364 Day Facility, from
time to time from the Closing Date until the 364 Day
Termination Date up to but not exceeding the 364 Day
Commitment, PROVIDED, however, that the Lenders will not be
required and shall have no obligation to make any Advance (i)
so long as a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing or (ii) if the Lender has accelerated the
maturity of the 364 Day Note as a result of an Event of
Default; PROVIDED further, however, that immediately after
giving effect to each Advance, the principal amount of
Outstanding 364 Day Obligations shall not exceed the Total 364
Day Commitment. Within such limits, the Borrower may borrow,
repay and reborrow hereunder, on a Business Day from the date
of Amendment No. 1 until, but (as to borrowings and
reborrowings) not including, the 364 Day Termination Date;
PROVIDED, however, that (x) no Eurodollar Loan shall be made
which has an Interest Period that extends beyond the 364 Day
Termination Date and (y) each Eurodollar Loan may, subject to
the
4
provisions of SECTION 2.6, be repaid only on the last day of
the Interest Period with respect thereto unless such payment
is accompanied by the additional payment, if any, required by
SECTION 4.5. The Borrower agrees that if at any time the
Outstanding 364 Day Obligations shall exceed the Total 364 Day
Commitment, the Borrower shall immediately reduce the
outstanding principal amount of the 364 Day Loans such that,
as a result of such reduction, the Outstanding 364 Day
Obligations shall not exceed the Total 364 Day Commitment.
(c) AMOUNTS. Except as otherwise permitted by the
Lender from time to time, the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of the Revolving Credit Outstandings plus Letter of
Credit Outstandings shall not exceed at any time the Revolving
Credit Commitment, and, in the event there shall be
outstanding any such excess, the Borrowers shall immediately
make such payments and prepayments as shall be necessary to
comply with this restriction. Each Loan hereunder, other than
Base Rate Refunding Loans, and each conversion under SECTION
2.7, shall be in an amount of at least $100,000, and, if
greater than $100,000, an integral multiple of $100,000.
(d) ADVANCES. An Authorized Representative shall give
the Lender (1) at least three (3) Business Days' irrevocable
written notice by telefacsimile transmission of a Borrowing
Notice or Interest Rate Selection Notice (as applicable) with
appropriate insertions, effective upon receipt, of each Loan
that is a Eurodollar Rate Loan (whether representing an
additional borrowing hereunder or the conversion of a
borrowing hereunder from Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate
Loans) prior to 10:30 A.M. and (2) irrevocable written notice
by telefacsimile transmission of a Borrowing Notice or
Interest Rate Selection Notice (as applicable) with
appropriate insertions, effective upon receipt, of each Loan
(other than Base Rate Refunding Loans to the extent the same
are effected without notice pursuant to SECTION 2.1(D)(IV))
that is a Base Rate Loan (whether representing an additional
borrowing hereunder or the conversion of borrowing hereunder
from Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans) prior to 10:30
A.M. on the day of such proposed Loan. Each such notice shall
specify the amount of the borrowing, the type of Loan (Base
Rate or Eurodollar Rate), the date of borrowing and, if a
Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Interest Period to be used in the
computation of interest.
(ii) Not later than 2:00 P.M. on the date
specified for each borrowing under this SECTION 2.1, the
Lender shall, pursuant to the terms and subject to the
conditions of this Agreement, make the amount of the Advance
or Advances available to the Borrowers by delivery of the
proceeds thereof to the Borrowers' Account or otherwise as
shall be directed in the applicable Borrowing Notice by the
Authorized Representative and reasonably acceptable to the
Lender.
(iii) The Borrowers shall have the option to
elect the duration of the initial and any subsequent Interest
Periods and to Convert the Loans in accordance with SECTION
2.7. Eurodollar Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans may be
outstanding at the same time, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, there shall
not be outstanding at
5
any one time Eurodollar Rate Loans having more than five (5)
different Interest Periods. If the Lender does not receive a
Borrowing Notice or an Interest Rate Selection Notice giving
notice of election of the duration of an Interest Period or of
Conversion of any Loan to or Continuation of a Loan as a
Eurodollar Rate Loan by the time prescribed by SECTION 2.1(D)
OR 2.7, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to
Convert such Loan to (or Continue such Loan as) a Base Rate
Loan until the Borrowers notify the Lender in accordance with
SECTION 2.7.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a
drawing is made under any Letter of Credit, such drawing is
honored by the Issuing Bank prior to the Stated Termination
Date, and the Borrowers shall not immediately fully reimburse
the Issuing Bank in respect of such drawing, (A) provided that
the conditions to making a Revolving Loan as herein provided
shall then be satisfied, the Reimbursement Obligation arising
from such drawing shall be paid to the Issuing Bank by the
Lender without the requirement of notice to or from the
Borrowers from immediately available funds which shall be
advanced as a Base Rate Refunding Loan by the Lender under the
Revolving Credit Facility, and (B) if the conditions to making
a Revolving Loan as herein provided shall not then be
satisfied, the Lender shall fund by payment to the Issuing
Bank in immediately available funds the purchase price from
the Issuing Bank of the Reimbursement Obligation. Any such
Base Rate Refunding Loan shall be advanced as, and shall
continue as, a Base Rate Loan unless and until the Borrowers
Convert such Base Rate Loan in accordance with the terms of
SECTION 2.7.
(e) Except as provided in SECTION 2.1(F), each
Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable as primary
obligor and not merely as surety for repayment of all
Obligations arising under the Loan Documents. Such joint and
several liability shall apply to each Borrower regardless of
whether (i) any Loan was only requested on behalf of or made
to another Borrower or the proceeds of any Loan were used only
by another Borrower, (ii) any Letter of Credit was issued on
the application of another Borrower, (iii) any interest rate
election was made only on behalf of another Borrower, or (iv)
any indemnification obligation or any other obligation arose
only as a result of the actions of another Borrower; PROVIDED
the liability of each of the Borrowers other than the Parent
under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents
shall be limited to the maximum amount of the Obligations
under the Revolving Credit Facility and 364 Day Facility for
which such other Borrower may be liable without violating any
applicable fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or
comparable laws. Each Borrower shall retain any right of
contribution arising under applicable law against the other
Borrowers as the result of the satisfaction of any
Obligations; PROVIDED, no Borrower shall assert such right of
contribution against any other Borrower until the Obligations
shall have been paid in full.
Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this
SECTION 2.1(E), the Parent, hereby irrevocably, absolutely and
unconditionally guarantees the full and punctual payment or
performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by required
6
prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise, of
all Obligations of each other Borrower owing to the Lender.
This guarantee constitutes a guaranty of payment and not of
collection.
It is the intention of the parties that with respect
to the Parent its obligations under the immediately preceding
paragraph shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable
irrespective of:
(i) any lack of validity, legality or
enforceability of this Agreement, any Note, or any
other Loan Document as to any other Borrower;
(ii) the failure of the Lender:
(A) to enforce any right or remedy
against any other Borrower or any other
Person under the provisions of this
Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Document
or otherwise, or
(B) to exercise any right or remedy
against any guarantor of, or collateral
securing, any Obligations;
(iii) any change in the time, manner or
place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or
any of the Obligations, or any other extension,
compromise or renewal of any Obligations with respect
to any other Borrower;
(iv) any reduction, limitation, impairment
or termination of any Obligations with respect to any
other Borrower or any other Person for any reason
including any claim of waiver, release, surrender,
alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to
(and the Parent hereby waives any right to or claim
of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment
or termination whatsoever by reason of the
invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity,
compromise or unenforceability of, or any other event
or occurrence affecting, any Obligations with respect
to any other Borrower;
(v) any addition, exchange, release,
surrender or nonperfection of any collateral, or any
amendment to or waiver or release or addition of, or
consent to departure from, any guaranty, held by the
Lender or any holder of any Note securing any of the
Obligations; or
(vi) any other circumstance which might
otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
legal or equitable discharge of, any other Borrower,
any surety or any guarantor.
7
The Parent agrees that its joint and several
liability hereunder shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment (in
whole or in part) of any of the Obligations is rescinded or
must be restored by the Lender or any holder of any Note, upon
the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any other
Borrower as though such payment had not been made.
Each Borrower hereby expressly waives: (a) notice of
the Lender's acceptance of this Agreement; (b) notice of the
existence or creation or non-payment of all or any of the
Obligations; (c) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor,
protest, and all other notices whatsoever other than notices
expressly provided for in this Agreement or by applicable law
and (d) all diligence in collection or protection of or
realization upon the Obligations or any thereof, any
obligation hereunder, or any security for or guaranty of any
of the foregoing.
No delay on the Lender's part in the exercise of any
right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no
single or partial exercise by the Lender of any right or
remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right or remedy. No action of the
Lender permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair
any of its rights or any of its obligations to any of the
Borrowers under this Agreement (except as otherwise waived,
modified, or amended).
(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
TTI and WFI shall be liable hereunder only for Advances, Loans
and Reimbursement Obligations made to it or on its behalf
hereunder together with interest relating thereto and fees and
expenses arising hereunder."
(e) SECTION 2.3 of ARTICLE II of the agreement is hereby
amended in its entirety so that as amended it shall read as follows:
"2.3. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL. The principal amount of
each Revolving Loan shall be due and payable to the Lender in

364 Day Termination Date, or earlier as specifically provided
herein. The principal amount of any Base Rate Loan may be
prepaid in whole or in part at any time. The principal amount
of any Eurodollar Rate Loan may be prepaid only at the end of
the applicable Interest Period unless the Borrowers shall pay
to the Lender the additional amount, if any, required under
SECTION 4.5. All prepayments of Loans made by the Borrowers
shall be in the amount of $100,000 or such greater amount
which is an integral multiple of $100,000, or the amount equal

or the entire remaining Revolving Credit Commitment or 364 Day
Commitment, as the case may be, and shall permanently reduce
the Revolving Credit Commitment or 364 Day Commitment, as the
case may be. Each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment
shall be accompanied by payment of the Revolving Loans to the
extent that the principal amount of Revolving Credit

reduction, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the
amount prepaid. No such reduction shall result in the payment
of any Eurodollar Rate Loan other than on the last day of the
Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless such
