SUBORDINATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

This Subordinated Credit Agreement is entered into as of September 17, 2010, by and among World Acceptance Corporation, a South Carolina corporation (the “Borrower”), the several financial institutions from time to time party to this Agreement as Lenders, and Wells Fargo Preferred Capital, Inc., as Administrative Agent. All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings herein as such terms as are defined in Section 5.1 hereof.

Preliminary Statements

The Borrower has requested and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to make available to the Borrower a secured non-revolving line of credit, all on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1 The Credit.

Section 1.1. The Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lenders agree to extend a non-revolving line of credit (the “Credit”) to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of (A) the Commitments and (B) the Borrowing Base as then determined and computed, which may be availed of by the Borrower in its discretion from time to time to but not including the Termination Date. The aggregate amount of the Credit that a Lender agrees to extend to the Borrower shall be the aggregate amount of its Commitment. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint, and no Lender shall under any circumstances be obligated to extend credit hereunder in excess of its Commitment. Each Borrowing of Loans shall be made ratably from the Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments.

SECTION 2 General Provisions Applicable to Loans.

Section 2.1. Interest Rate. Each Loan made by a Lender shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin, payable quarterly in arrears on the fifth (5th) day of each January, April, July and October in each year (commencing on the first such date occurring after the date hereof) and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise); provided, however, during each period that the outstanding principal balance of the Loans is less than $30,000,000 (“Minimum Balance”), the Borrower shall pay interest at such rate per annum based upon the Minimum Balance.

Section 2.2. Minimum Borrowing Amounts. Each Borrowing of Loans shall be in an amount not less than $1,000,000, or any larger amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000.

Section 2.3. Borrowing Procedures.

(a) Notice to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (Iowa time), on the date of each requested Borrowing, specifying the date, amount and purpose of the Borrowing. Such notice shall be submitted via the Administrative Agent’s online automatic request system and shall be certified by the president or treasurer (or such other authorized Person as the Borrower directs from time to time) of the Borrower.

(b)Notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt (but in any event by 12:00 noon (Iowa time)) telephonic or telecopy notice to each of the Lenders of any borrowing request received pursuant to Section 2.3(a) above.

(c)Limitation on Borrowing Requests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and following the initial Borrowing on the date hereof, the Borrower may request no more than one (1) Borrowing per fiscal quarter.

(d)Disbursement of Loans. Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Iowa time) on the date of any Borrowing of Loans, each Lender shall make available its Loan in funds immediately available in Des Moines, Iowa at the principal office of the Administrative Agent. Subject to Section 7 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of each new Borrowing available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s principal office in Des Moines, Iowa (or at such other location as the Administrative Agent shall designate), by depositing or wire transferring such proceeds to the credit of the Borrower’s Designated Disbursement Account or as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may otherwise agree.

Section 2.4. RESERVED

Section 2.5. Maturity of Loans. Each Loan, both for principal and interest not sooner paid, shall mature and become due and payable by the Borrower on the Termination Date.

Section 2.6. Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary. Except as may be required by Section 2.6(b) below, the Borrower shall not have the privilege of making any prepayment of the Loans through and including the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement. Thereafter, the Borrower shall have the privilege of prepaying without premium or penalty (except as expressly set forth below) and in whole or in part (but, if in part, then in an amount not less than $100,000) any Borrowing of Loans at any time on any Business Day upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Borrower repay the Loan in full prior to the Maturity Date or the Obligations are accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders a sum equal to the following as a termination fee (the “Termination Fee”): (a) 1.0% of (i) the then applicable Commitments minus (ii) any previous principal repayments, plus (b) the amount of interest that would accrue on an amount equal to the Minimum Balance from the date of such repayment through and including the Maturity Date based upon the then per annum rate of interest applicable on the date of such repayment pursuant to Section 2.1. The Borrower acknowledges that the Termination Fee is an estimate of the Lenders’ damages in the event of early termination and is not a penalty.

-2-

(b)Mandatory.

(i) Concurrently with each reduction of the Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay the Notes by the amount, if any, necessary so that the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Notes shall not exceed the Commitments as so reduced, each such prepayment to be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid.

(ii) The Borrower covenants and agrees that in the event that the outstanding principal amount of the Notes shall at any time and for any reason exceed the Borrowing Base as then determined and computed, the Borrower shall immediately upon the demand of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to the extent permitted pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement pay over the amount of the excess to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders as and for a mandatory prepayment on the Notes.

(c)Reborrowings. Amounts paid or prepaid on the Loans on or before the Termination Date may not be borrowed again.

Section 2.7. Default Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, the Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all Loans at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the then applicable rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof; provided, however, that in the absence of acceleration, any adjustments pursuant to this Section shall be made at the election of the Administrative Agent, acting at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders, with written notice to the Borrower. While any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, interest shall be paid on demand of the Administrative Agent at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders.

Section 2.8. The Notes.

(a) The Loans made to the Borrower by a Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent. Each such promissory note as the same may from time to time be amended together with any notes executed in replacement thereof are hereinafter referred to individually as a “Note” and collectively as the “Notes”. Such Note shall be dated the date of issuance thereof and payable to the order of each Lender in the principal amount of its Commitment.

-3-

(b)Each Lender shall record on its books or records or on a schedule to the Note held by it the amount of each Loan made by it to the Borrower and all payments of principal and interest and the principal balance from time to time outstanding thereon; provided that prior to the transfer of any Note all such amounts shall be recorded on a schedule to such Note. The record thereof, whether shown on such books or records of a Lender or on a schedule to any Note, shall be prima facie evidence as to all such amounts; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to record any of the foregoing or any error in any such record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay all Loans made to it hereunder together with accrued interest thereon.

Section 2.9 Defaulting Lenders. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender at any time is a Defaulting Lender, then (a) during any Defaulting Lender Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents and such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments shall be excluded for purposes of determining “Required Lenders” (provided that the foregoing shall not permit an increase in such Lender’s Commitments or an extension of the maturity date of such Lender’s Loans or other Obligations or a reduction of principal, interest, or fees due such Lender without such Lender’s consent); (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, until such time as the Defaulting Lender Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, any voluntary prepayment of the Loans shall, if the Administrative Agent so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Loans outstanding; (c) such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments and outstanding Loans shall be excluded for purposes of calculating any unused fee payable to Lenders pursuant to Section 3.1 in respect of any day during any Defaulting Lender Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any unused fee pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment in respect of any Defaulting Lender Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender; and (d) the utilization of Commitments as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Loans of such Defaulting Lender. No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section, performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of the operation of this Section. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies which the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender and which the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 3 Fees, Extensions and Applications.

Section 3.1. Unused Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders an unused fee at the rate of (a) if the Usage Rate for a month is less than 65%, 37.5 basis points per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed) on the average daily unused portion of the maximum amount of the then applicable Commitments hereunder (less any previous principal repayments) and (b) if the Usage Rate for a month is equal to or greater than 65%, 25 basis points per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed) on the average daily unused portion of the maximum amount of the Commitments hereunder.

Until any such covenant, standard, or term is amended in accordance with this Section 5.3, financial covenants shall be computed and determined in accordance with GAAP in effect prior to such change in accounting principles. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall neither be deemed to be in compliance with any financial covenant hereunder nor out of compliance with any financial covenant hereunder if such state of compliance or noncompliance, as the case may be, would not exist but for the occurrence of a change in accounting principles after the date hereof. The Borrower covenants and agrees with the Lenders that whether or not the Borrower may at any time adopt Accounting Standards Codification 825 or account for assets and liabilities acquired in an acquisition on a fair value basis pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification 805, all determinations of compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be made on the basis that the Borrower has not adopted Accounting Standards Codification 825 or Accounting Standards Codification 805.

SECTION 10 RESERVED

SECTION 11 The Administrative Agent.

Section 11.1. Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Wells Fargo Preferred Capital, Inc. its Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as Administrative Agent and on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Lenders expressly agree that the Administrative Agent is not acting as a fiduciary of the Lenders in respect of the Loan Documents, the Borrower or otherwise, and nothing herein or in any of the other Loan Documents shall result in any duties or obligations on the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders except as expressly set forth herein.

Section 11.2. Administrative Agent and Affiliates. The Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not an Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not an Administrative Agent hereunder and thereunder.

-44-

Section 11.3. Action by Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent receives from the Borrower a written notice of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give each of the Lenders written notice thereof. The obligations of the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents are only those expressly set forth therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder with respect to any Default or Event of Default, except as expressly provided in Sections 9.3. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default on or after the Grant Date, the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Collateral Agent to take such action to enforce its Lien on the Collateral and to preserve and protect the Collateral as may be directed by the Required Lenders. Unless and until the Required Lenders give such direction, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take or refrain from taking such actions as it deems appropriate and in the best interest of all the Lenders. In no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent be required to take any action in violation of applicable law or of any provision of any Loan Document, and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Loan Document unless it first receives any further assurances of its indemnification from the Lenders that it may require, including prepayment of any related expenses and any other protection it requires against any and all costs, expense, and liability which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default exists unless notified in writing to the contrary by a Lender or the Borrower. In all cases in which the Loan Documents do not require the Administrative Agent to take specific action, the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in using its discretion in failing to take or in taking any action thereunder. Any instructions of the Required Lenders, or of any other group of Lenders called for under the specific provisions of the Loan Documents, shall be binding upon all the Lenders and the holders of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall be acting as an independent contractor hereunder and nothing herein shall be deemed to impose on the Administrative Agent any fiduciary obligations to the Lenders or the Borrower.

Section 11.4. Consultation with Experts. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 11.5. Liability of Administrative Agent. No Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any borrowing hereunder or any other Loan Document; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in any Loan Document; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Section 7, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the Notes, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith or of the collectibility of the Obligations or the value, worth, priority, or perfection of the Collateral or the Liens provided for by the Loan Documents.

Section 11.6. Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Commitments (or, if the Commitments have been terminated in whole, ratably in accordance with its outstanding Loans), indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsels’ fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss, obligation, damages, penalties, judgments, suits or liability (except such as result from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) that the Administrative Agent may suffer or incur in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to offset amounts received for the account of a Lender under this Agreement against unpaid amounts due from such Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether as fundings of participations, indemnities or otherwise, and with any amounts offset for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to be held by it for its own account, but shall not be entitled to offset against amounts owed to the Administrative Agent by any Lender arising outside of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 11.8. Resignation of the Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the Administrative Agent may, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank, or an Affiliate of a commercial bank, having an office in the United States of America and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000.

Section 11.9. Payments. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender prior to the date on which such Lender is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Loan (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment when due and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the Borrower the proceeds of the Loan to be made by such Lender and, if any Lender has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to the Borrower attributable to such Lender together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Borrower and ending on (but excluding) the date such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate (as hereinafter defined). If such amount is not received from such Lender by the Administrative Agent immediately upon demand, the Borrower will, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of the Loan attributable to such Lender with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan. “Federal Funds Rate” shall mean the rate determined by the Administrative Agent to be the average (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) of the rates per annum quoted to the Administrative Agent at approximately 10:00 A.M. (Iowa time) (or as soon thereafter as is practicable) on such date (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day) by two or more Federal funds brokers selected by the Administrative Agent for the sale to the Administrative Agent at face value of Federal Funds in an amount equal or comparable to the principal amount owed to the Administrative Agent for which such rate is being determined hereof.

Section 11.10. Designation of Additional Agents. The Administrative Agent shall have the continuing right, for purposes hereof, at any time and from time to time to designate one or more of the Lenders (and/or its or their Affiliates) as “co-agent,” “syndication agents,” “documentation agents,” “arrangers” or other designations for purposes hereto, but such designation shall have no substantive effect, and such Lenders and their Affiliates shall have no additional powers, duties or responsibilities as a result thereof.

Section 11.11. Authorization to Release or Subordinate or Limit Liens. The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to authorize the Collateral Agent to (a) on and after the Grant Date, release any Lien covering any Collateral that is sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the relevant Collateral Documents (including a sale, transfer, or disposition permitted by the terms of Section 8.13 hereof or which has otherwise been consented to in accordance with Section 12.11 hereof) or the Intercreditor Agreement, (b) on and after the Grant Date, release or subordinate any Lien on Collateral consisting of goods financed with purchase money indebtedness or under a Capital Lease to the extent such purchase money indebtedness or Capitalized Lease Obligation, and the Lien securing the same, are permitted by Sections 8.9, 8.10, and 8.11 hereof, (c) reduce or limit the amount of the indebtedness secured by any particular item of Collateral to an amount not less than the estimated value thereof to the extent necessary to reduce mortgage registry, filing and similar tax and (d) on and after the Grant Date, release Liens on the Collateral following termination or expiration of the Commitments and payment in full in cash of the Obligations.

SECTION 12 Miscellaneous.

Section 12.1. Withholding Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Withholding. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to Section 12.1(b) hereof, each payment by the Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be made without withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes (other than overall net income taxes on the recipient) imposed by or within the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is domiciled, any jurisdiction from which the Borrower makes any payment, or (in each case) any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein. If any such withholding is so required, the Borrower shall make the withholding, pay the amount withheld to the appropriate governmental authority before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon, and forthwith pay such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender and the Administrative Agent free and clear of such taxes (including such taxes on such additional amount) is equal to the amount which that Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) would have received had such withholding not been made. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender pays any amount in respect of any such taxes, penalties or interest, the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Lender for that payment on demand in the currency in which such payment was made. If the Borrower pays any such taxes, penalties or interest, it shall deliver official tax receipts evidencing that payment or certified copies thereof to the Lender or Administrative Agent on whose account such withholding was made (with a copy to the Administrative Agent if not the recipient of the original) on or before the thirtieth day after payment.

(b)U.S. Withholding Tax Exemptions. Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date hereof or, if later, the date such financial institution becomes a Lender hereunder, two duly completed and signed copies of (i) either Form W-8 BEN (relating to such Lender and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding under the Code on all amounts to be received by such Lender, including fees, pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Obligations) or Form W-8 ECI (relating to all amounts to be received by such Lender, including fees, pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Obligations) of the United States Internal Revenue Service or (ii) solely if such Lender is claiming exemption from United States withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a Form W-8 BEN, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, and a certificate representing that such Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code). Thereafter and from time to time, each Lender shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or the other of such Forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) and such other certificates as may be (i) requested by the Borrower in a written notice, directly or through the Administrative Agent, to such Lender and (ii) required under then-current United States law or regulations to avoid or reduce United States withholding taxes on payments in respect of all amounts to be received by such Lender, including fees, pursuant to the Loan Documents or the Obligations. Upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a certificate to the effect that it is such a United States person.

-49-

(c)Inability of Lender to Submit Forms. If any Lender determines, as a result of any change in applicable law, regulation or treaty, or in any official application or interpretation thereof, that it is unable to submit to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent any form or certificate that such Lender is obligated to submit pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 12.1 or that such Lender is required to withdraw or cancel any such form or certificate previously submitted or any such form or certificate otherwise becomes ineffective or inaccurate, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and Administrative Agent of such fact and the Lender shall to that extent not be obligated to provide any such form or certificate and will be entitled to withdraw or cancel any affected form or certificate, as applicable.

Section 12.2. No Waiver of Rights. No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on the part of the holder or holders of any Note in the exercise of any power or right shall operate as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other power or right. The rights and remedies hereunder of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and of the holder or holders of any Notes are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies which any of them would otherwise have.

Section 12.3. Non-Business Day. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day on which date such payment shall be due and payable. In the case of any payment of principal falling due on a day which is not a Business Day, interest on such principal amount shall continue to accrue during such extension at the rate per annum then in effect, which accrued amount shall be due and payable on the next scheduled date for the payment of interest.

Section 12.4. Documentary Taxes. The Borrower agrees that it will pay any documentary, stamp or similar taxes payable in respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including interest and penalties, in the event any such taxes are assessed irrespective of when such assessment is made and whether or not any credit is then in use or available hereunder.

Section 12.5. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made herein or in any other Loan Document or in certificates given pursuant hereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and of the Notes, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made as long as any credit is in use or available hereunder.

Section 12.6. Survival of Indemnities. All indemnities and all other provisions relative to reimbursement to the Lenders of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Lenders with respect to the Loans, including, but not limited to, Section 10.3 hereof, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and the Notes.

Section 12.7. Sharing of Set-Off. Each Lender agrees with each other Lender a party hereto that if such Lender shall receive and retain any payment, whether by set-off or application of deposit balances or otherwise (“Set-off”), on any of the Obligations outstanding under this Agreement in excess of its ratable share of payments on all Obligations then outstanding to the Lenders, then such Lender shall purchase for cash at face value, but without recourse, ratably from each of the other Lenders such amount of the Obligations held by each such other Lender (or interest therein) as shall be necessary to cause such Lender to share such excess payment ratably with all the other Lenders; provided, however, that if any such purchase is made by any Lender, and if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the related purchases from the other Lenders shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest. Each Lender’s ratable share of any such Set-off shall be determined by the proportion that the aggregate amount of Loans then due and payable to such Lender bears to the total aggregate amount of the Loans then due and payable to all the Lenders.

-50-

Section 12.8. Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be in writing (including, without limitation, notice by telecopy) and shall be given to the relevant party at its address or telecopier number set forth below, or such other address or telecopier number as such party may hereafter specify by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower given by courier, by United States certified or registered mail, by telecopy or by other telecommunication device capable of creating a written record of such notice and its receipt.

Each Lender shall have the right, without the consent of the Borrower, at its own cost to grant participations in the Loans made and/or Commitments held by such Lender to one or more financial institutions at any time and from time to time without the consent of the Borrower; provided, however, that (i) no such participation shall relieve any Lender of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the participant financial institutions shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.3 hereof but shall not be entitled to any greater payment under any of such Sections than the Lender granting such participation would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with this Agreement and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the consent of such participant, that would reduce the amount of or postpone the date for payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan hereunder. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any participant or prospective participant under this Section any financial or other information pertaining to the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

-52-

(c) Assignments. Each Lender shall have the right at any time, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent and, except as provided below, the Borrower (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to sell, assign, transfer or negotiate all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes then held by such assigning Lender) to one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions or investors, provided that, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent, such assignment shall be of a fixed percentage (and not by its terms of varying percentage) of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that in order to make any such assignment (i) unless the assigning Lender is assigning all of its Commitments and outstanding Loans, the assigning Lender shall retain at least $5,000,000 in unused Commitments and outstanding Loans, (ii) the assignee Lender shall have Commitments and outstanding Loans of at least $5,000,000, (iii) the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or for any assignment made during the existence of any Event of Default, (iv) each such assignment shall be evidenced by a written agreement (in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent) executed by such assigning Lender, such assignee Lender or Lenders, the Administrative Agent and, unless not required under clause (iii) above, the Borrower, which agreement shall specify in each instance the portion of the Obligations which are to be assigned to the assignee Lender and the portion of the Commitments of the assigning Lender to be assumed by the assignee Lender, and (v) the assigning Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing fee of $3,500 in connection with any such assignment agreement. Any such assignee shall become a Lender for all purposes hereunder to the extent of the rights and obligations under the Loan Documents it assumes and the assigning Lender shall be released from its obligations, and will have released its rights, under the Loan Documents to the extent of such assignment. The address for notices to such assignee Lender shall be as specified in the assignment agreement executed by it. Promptly upon the effectiveness of any such assignment agreement, the Borrower shall execute and deliver replacement Notes to the assignee Lender and the assigning Lender in the respective amounts of their Commitments (or assigned principal amounts, as applicable) after giving effect to the reduction occasioned by such assignment (all such Notes to constitute “Notes” for all purposes of the Loan Documents), and the assignee Lender shall thereafter surrender to the Borrower its old Notes.

The Borrower, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or a Lender at any time, shall reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or such Lender for any legal or other expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for any such Indemnitee) incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any of the foregoing (including any settlement costs relating to the foregoing) except if the same is directly due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified.

Section 12.14. Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under the Loan Documents or applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each subsequent holder of any Obligation, and each of their respective affiliates, is hereby authorized by the Borrower at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set-off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, and in whatever currency denominated, but not including trust accounts) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Lender, subsequent holder, or affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, whether or not matured, against and on account of the Obligations of the Borrower to that Lender or subsequent holder under the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not (a) that Lender or subsequent holder shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans and other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 9 and although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured.

Section 12.18. Severability of Provisions. Any provision of any Loan Document which is unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement and other Loan Documents are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement or the other Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable.

Section 12.19. Excess Interest. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, no such provision shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law to be charged for the use or detention, or the forbearance in the collection, of all or any portion of the Loans or other obligations outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (“Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is provided for, or is adjudicated to be provided for, herein or in any other Loan Document, then in such event (a) the provisions of this Section shall govern and control, (b) neither the Borrower nor any guarantor or endorser shall be obligated to pay any Excess Interest, (c) any Excess Interest that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have received hereunder shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, be (i) applied as a credit against the then outstanding principal amount of Obligations hereunder and accrued and unpaid interest thereon (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law), (ii) refunded to the Borrower, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing, (d) the interest rate payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be automatically subject to reduction to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable usury laws (the “Maximum Rate”), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been, and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction in the relevant interest rate, and (e) neither the Borrower nor any guarantor or endorser shall have any action against the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any damages whatsoever arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any of Borrower’s Obligations is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on the Borrower’s Obligations shall remain at the Maximum Rate until the Lenders have received the amount of interest which such Lenders would have received during such period on the Borrower’s Obligations had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.

Section 12.20. Construction. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Loan Documents shall not be construed more favorably in favor of any party hereto based upon which party drafted the same, it being acknowledged that all parties hereto contributed substantially to the negotiation of the Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to permit any act or omission which is prohibited by the terms of any Collateral Document, the covenants and agreements contained herein being in addition to and not in substitution for the covenants and agreements contained in the Collateral Documents.

Section 12.21. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
