amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Each
Committed Loan Notice shall specify (i) in the case of a request for a Committed
Borrowing, the Class of Committed Loans to be borrowed under such Committed
Borrowing, (ii) whether the Borrower is requesting a Committed Borrowing, a
conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (iii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion
or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) the
principal amount of Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued,
(v) the Type of Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Committed
Loans are to be converted and (vi) if applicable, the duration of the Interest
Period with respect thereto.  If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of
Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a
timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable
Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans.  Any
automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of
the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency
Rate Loans.  If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or
continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but
fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an
Interest Period of one month.

(b)           Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the applicable Class of the amount of
its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely
notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable Class of the
details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation, in each
case as described in the preceding subsection.  In the case of a Committed
Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Committed Loan available to
the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office
not later than 9:00 a.m., in each case, on the Business Day specified in the
applicable Committed Loan Notice.  Upon satisfaction of the applicable
conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (in the case of any Committed Borrowing to
be made on the Closing Date) or Section 4.03(a) or (b), as applicable (in the
case of a Committed Borrowing of
 
 
25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
Revolving Loans to be made after the Closing Date), the Administrative Agent
shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as
received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the
Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds
or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with
instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent
by the Borrower.

(c)            Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may
be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such
Eurocurrency Rate Loan.  During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be
requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans without the
consent of the Required Lenders.

(d)            The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and
the Lenders of the applicable Class of the interest rate applicable to any
Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest
rate.  At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable Class of any
change in the Administrative Agent’s prime rate used in determining the Base
Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(e)            After giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions
of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of
Committed Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest
Periods in effect with respect to Committed Loans.

(f)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any
Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or any portion of its Loans of any
Class in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or
similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a
cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and such Lender.

2.03            [Reserved].

2.04            [Reserved].

2.05            Prepayments and Mandatory Commitment Reduction.  (a) Optional.
The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from
time to time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans of either Class in whole or in
part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be in a form
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to
any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (B) on the date of
prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency
Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Committed
Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000
in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof
then outstanding.  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such
prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Committed Loans to be prepaid and,
if Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such
Loans.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the
applicable Class(es) of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment.  If such notice is given
by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified
therein.  Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan
 
 
26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together
with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.

(b)            Mandatory. (i) If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower
at any time that the Total Outstandings in respect of Revolving Loans at such
time exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect, then, within two
Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall prepay Revolving
Loans in an aggregate principal amount at least equal to such excess.

(ii)          In the event that the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives
any Net Cash Proceeds (including into escrow) of any incurrence, issuance,
offering or placement of Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Excluded
Debt) or any issuance of equity securities or equity-linked securities (other
than Excluded Equity), in each case on or after the Effective Date, then 100% of
such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied, not later than three Business Days
following the receipt by the Borrower or any such Subsidiary of such Net Cash
Proceeds, to prepay the Loans and permanently reduce the Commitments as set
forth in Section 2.05(c).

(iii)         In the event that the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives
any Net Cash Proceeds (including cash equivalents) of any Prepayment Asset Sale
(other than any such Net Cash Proceeds that are reinvested in the business
within six months (or nine months, to the extent committed to be reinvested
within six months) following receipt), then 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds shall
be applied, not later than three Business Days following the receipt by the
Borrower or any such Subsidiary of such Net Cash Proceeds, to prepay the Loans
and permanently reduce the Commitments as set forth in Section 2.05(c).

(iv)        The Borrower shall promptly (and not later than the third Business
Day following receipt thereof) notify the Administrative Agent of the receipt by
the Borrower or, as applicable, any of its Subsidiaries, of such Net Cash
Proceeds referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) above and such notice shall be
accompanied by a reasonably detailed calculation of the Net Cash Proceeds.

(c)            Application of Prepayments. Each voluntary and mandatory
prepayment and mandatory Commitment reduction pursuant to this Section 2.05 (i)
in the case of a mandatory prepayment or Commitment reduction required pursuant
to Section 2.05(b)(ii) or Section 2.05(b)(iii), shall (x) if such prepayment or
Commitment reduction event occurs prior to the Closing Date, first, permanently
reduce the Term Commitments by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Net Cash
Proceeds of the event triggering such reduction and (ii) the remaining Term Loan
Commitments and second, after the Term Commitments have been reduced to zero,
permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments by the remaining amount, if any, of
such Net Cash Proceeds, and (y) if such prepayment or Commitment reduction event
occurs on or after the Closing Date, first, be applied to prepay the Term Loans
by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Net Cash Proceeds of the event
triggering such prepayment and (ii) the remaining amount of the Term Loans
outstanding and second, after the Term Loans have been prepaid in full, (A)
permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments by the remaining amount, if any, of
such Net Cash Proceeds and (B) be simultaneously applied to reduce any
outstanding Revolving Loans by an amount equal to the lesser of the principal
amount of such Revolving Loans and the amount of such reduction of Revolving
Commitments pursuant to this clause (y), (ii) subject to Section 2.15, shall be
applied to the Committed Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their
respective
 
 
27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
Applicable Percentages of the applicable Class of Committed Loans and/or
Commitments, as the case may be, and (iii) shall be accompanied by accrued
interest and fees on the amount prepaid to the date fixed for such prepayment or
reduction, plus, in the case of any Eurocurrency Loans, any amounts due to the
Lenders under Section 3.05. Any prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.05 shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of
Committed Term Loans to be made pursuant to Section 2.07 as directed in writing
by the Borrower or, if no such direction has been provided, in direct order of
maturity.

2.06            Termination or Reduction of Commitments.  (a) The Borrower may,
upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments of
either Class or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments
of either Class; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the
date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an
aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent
prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings in respect of Revolving Loans
would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.  The Administrative Agent will
promptly notify the Lenders of the applicable Class of any such notice of
termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments of such Class.  Any
reduction of the Aggregate Commitments of any Class shall be applied to the
Commitment of such Class of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. 
All fees in respect of any Class accrued until the effective date of any
termination of the Aggregate Commitments of such Class shall be paid on the
effective date of such termination. In addition, unless previously terminated,
the Commitments of a Class shall automatically terminate on the applicable
Commitment Termination Date for such Class. Upon the occurrence of the
Commitment Termination Date for any Class of Commitments, the Borrower shall
provide the Administrative Agent written notice thereof (which notice shall
specify the reason for the occurrence of such Commitment Termination Date).
Unless terminated earlier, the Revolving Commitments shall be automatically and
permanently reduced to zero on the Maturity Date.

(b)           Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.05 or this Section 2.06 or
anything else herein to the contrary, any prepayment of Loans or reduction of
Commitments, whether voluntary or mandatory, to be made with respect to the
Commitments or Loans of a particular Class of Goldman Sachs and Goldman Sachs
Lending Partners LLC under this Agreement shall be allocated between their
respective Commitments or Loans of such Class, as applicable, as Goldman Sachs
and Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC shall elect in their sole discretion.

2.07           Amortization of Term Loans; Repayment of Loans.  (a) The Borrower
shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Term
Lenders (which repayments shall be adjusted from time to time pursuant to
Section 2.05) (i) on each March 31, June 30, September 30 or December 31
occurring during the term of this Agreement (or if such day is not a Business
Day, the next preceding Business Day) commencing on June 29, 2018, a principal
amount in respect of the Term Loans of such Lenders equal to (x) the outstanding
principal amount of the Term Loans incurred on the Closing Date multiplied by
(y) 2.50% and (ii) on the Maturity Date, the aggregate principal amount of Term
Loans made to the Borrower that remain outstanding on such date.

(b)           The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the
ratable account of the Revolving Lenders on the Maturity Date, the aggregate
principal amount of Revolving Loans made to the Borrower outstanding on such
date.

2.08            Interest.   (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection
(b) below, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate
 
 
28

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the
Applicable Rate and (ii) each Base Rate Committed Loan shall bear interest on
the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a
rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b)           (i)            If any amount (including principal of any Loan,
interest, fees or any other amount) payable by the Borrower under any Loan
Document is not paid when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace
periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then such
amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum
at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws.

(ii)            Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including
interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c)            Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be
specified herein.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance
with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the
commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.09            Fees.

(a)            Ticking Fee.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of
the applicable Class, a ticking fee (the “Ticking Fee”) in Dollars equal to the
Applicable Rate with respect to the Ticking Fee as in effect from time to time
times the actual daily amount of undrawn Aggregate Commitments, subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 2.15, which fee shall accrue during the period
(i) from the Effective Date and (ii) ending on the earlier of the Closing Date
and the date of termination of the Commitments (such earlier date in this clause
(ii), the “Ticking Fee Payment Date”).  The Ticking Fee shall be due and payable
on the Ticking Fee Payment Date.

(b)            Undrawn Commitment Fee.  The Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with
its Applicable Percentage, an undrawn commitment fee (the “Undrawn Commitment
Fee”) in Dollars equal to the Applicable Rate with respect to the Undrawn
Commitment Fee as in effect from time to time times the actual daily amount of
undrawn Aggregate Revolving Commitments, which fee shall accrue during the
period (i) from the Closing Date and (ii) ending on the date of termination of
the Revolving Commitments (such earlier date in this clause (ii), the “Undrawn
Commitment Fee Payment Date”).  The Undrawn Commitment Fee shall be due and
payable on the Undrawn Commitment Fee Payment Date.

(c)            Duration Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of
the applicable Class, a duration fee in an amount equal to the percentage, as
determined in accordance with the grid below, of the principal amount of the
Loans of such Lender of the applicable Class outstanding at the close of
business, New York City time, on each date set forth in the grid below:

Duration Fee
180 days after
the Closing Date
270 days after
the Closing Date
0.25%
0.50%

 
29

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(d)            Other Fees.  (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Arranger and the
Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts, in Dollars, fees in the
amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter.  Such fees shall be fully
earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(ii)            The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders, in Dollars, such fees as
shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the
times so specified.  Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be
refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.10           Computation of Interest and Fees.  All computations of interest
for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the
Eurocurrency Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as
the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees and
interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed
(which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if
computed on the basis of a 365-day year).  Interest shall accrue on each Loan
for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any
portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided
that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject
to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day.  Each determination by the
Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.11            Evidence of Debt.  The Credit Extensions made by each Lender
shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender
and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business.  The
accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall
be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made
by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon.  Any
failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or
otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount
owing with respect to the Obligations.  In the event of any conflict between the
accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of
the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of
the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.  Upon
the request of any Lender to the Borrower made through the Administrative Agent,
the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans of the
applicable Class to the Borrower in addition to such accounts or records.  Each
Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, Class, Type
(if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect
thereto.

2.12           Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.  (a)
General.  All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made free and clear
of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment
or setoff.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the
Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative
Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 11:00 a.m. on the
date specified herein.  The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to
each Lender of the applicable Class its Applicable Percentage (or other
applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received
by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office.  All payments received by the
Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next
succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to
accrue.  If any
 
 
30

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business
Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such
extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case
may be.

(b)            (i)          Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative
Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender
of the applicable Class prior to the proposed date of any Committed Borrowing of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Committed Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans, prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date of such Committed Borrowing) that such
Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share
of such Committed Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with
Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that
such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time
required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender
has not in fact made its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing available
to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower
severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from
and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but
excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of
a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any
administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a
payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate
Loans of the applicable Class.  If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such
interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such
interest paid by the Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of
the applicable Committed Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount
so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in such Committed
Borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim
the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such
payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii)           Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. 
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower
prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such
payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such
payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the Lenders of the applicable Class the amount due. 
In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of
the Lenders of the applicable Class severally agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including
the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment
to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect
to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error.

(c)            Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent.  If any Lender makes
available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such
Lender to the Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article
II, and such funds are not made available to the
 
 
31

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable
Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in
accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such
funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without
interest.

(d)           Obligations of Lenders Several.  The obligations of the Lenders
hereunder are several and not joint, and no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to satisfy its obligations hereunder.  The failure
of any Lender to make any Committed Loan or to make any payment under
Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other
Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender
shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its
Committed Loan or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

(e)            Funding Source.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any
Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to
constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain
the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

2.13            Sharing of Payments by Lenders.  If any Lender shall, by
exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in
respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Committed Loans made by it
resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate
amount of such Committed Loans and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro
rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and
(b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Committed Loans of
the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that
the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on
their respective Committed Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i)            if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion
of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be
rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery,
without interest; and

(ii)          the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall not be construed to
apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in
accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application
of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment
obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Committed Loans to any assignee or participant,
other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which
the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall apply).

The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a
participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the
Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of
such participation.

2.14            [Reserved].

2.15            Defaulting Lenders.

 
32

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(a)            Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such
time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law:

(i)            Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to
approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this
Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required
Lenders” and Section 10.01.

(ii)          Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of principal, interest,
fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of
such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to
Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08 shall be applied at such time or
times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the
payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative
Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default
exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender
has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as
determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and
released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future
funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the
payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting
Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under
this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any
amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender
as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this
Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a
court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment
of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender
has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a
time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived,
such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting
Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans
of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are funded and are held
by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder.  Any
payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender
that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be
deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender
irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)         Undrawn Commitment Fee.  No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to
receive or accrue any Undrawn Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.12(b) for any
period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall
not be required to pay any such Undrawn Commitment Fee that otherwise would have
been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(b)            Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the
Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the
effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth
therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that
portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as
the Administrative Agent
 
 
33

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
may determine to be necessary to cause the Committed Loans of each Class to be
held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders of such Class in accordance with their
respective Applicable Percentages of such Class), whereupon such Lender will
cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made
retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of
the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further,
that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no
change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or
release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having
been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III.
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01            Taxes.

(a)            Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on
Account of Taxes.  (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation
of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or
withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws.  If any
applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the
Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as applicable) require the deduction or
withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Administrative Agent or the
Borrower, then the Administrative Agent or the Borrower shall be entitled to
make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and
documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(ii)          If the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by
the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal
backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any such payment, then (A) the
Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by
the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and
documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the
Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the
extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified
Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that
after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section
3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(iii)         If the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by
any applicable Laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any
such payment, then (A) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as required by
such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be
required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant
to subsection (e) below, (B) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to the
extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or
deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws,
and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of
Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as
necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all
 
 
34

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b)            Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  Without limiting the
provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the
option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any
Other Taxes.

(c)            Tax Indemnifications.  (i)  The Borrower shall, and does hereby,
indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10
days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes
(including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
payable under this Section 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or required
to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties,
interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount
of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf
or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.  The
Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall
make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any
amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the
Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(ii) below; provided
that, promptly following the written request of the Borrower after the making of
any such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall
assign to the Borrower the rights of the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 3.01(c)(ii) below against such Lender with respect to the amount paid by
the Borrower (other than any setoff rights against such Lender).

(ii)          Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall
make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, (x) the
Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender
(but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the
Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrower to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure
to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(d) relating to the maintenance of
a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as
applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are
payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower in connection with
any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted
by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent or the
Borrower, as applicable, shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Each
Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and
all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this
clause (ii).

(d)            Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment
of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority as provided in this
Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the
original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such
 
 
35

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by
Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e)            Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.  (i) Any Lender that is
entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to
payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable law or the taxing authorities of a jurisdiction
pursuant to such applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding
or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to
backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion,
execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation
either (A) set forth in Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below or (B)
required by applicable law (other than the Code) or the taxing authorities of
the relevant jurisdiction pursuant to such applicable law to comply with the
requirements for exemption or reduction of withholding tax in that jurisdiction)
shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion,
execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed
cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position
of such Lender.

(ii)          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event
that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A)           any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a
Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies
of IRS Form W‑9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup
withholding tax;

(B)            any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to
do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of
copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which
such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

 (I)            in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an
income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to
payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form
W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction
of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax
treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan
Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption
from, or
 
 
36

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or
“other income” article of such tax treaty;

 (II)          executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 (III)        in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the
exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a
certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such
Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and
(y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable); or

 (IV)        to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner,
executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form
W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or
other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable;
provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or
indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest
exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and
indirect partner;

(C)            any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to
do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of
copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which
such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a
basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding
Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)            if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be
subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to
fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including
those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such
Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or
times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable
law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such
additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such
Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under
 
 
37

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. 
Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments
made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii)         Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously
delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or
inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or
promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its
legal inability to do so.

(f)            Treatment of Certain Refunds.  Unless required by applicable
Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for
or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any
Lender any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account
of such Lender.  If any Recipient determines, in its reasonable discretion, that
it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the
Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to
such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional
amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes
giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket
expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with
respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the
Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay
any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this subsection the payment of which
would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such
Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving
rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the
indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had
never been paid.  This subsection shall not be construed to require any
Recipient to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating
to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(g)            Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall
survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any
assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the
Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other
Obligations.

3.02           Illegality.  If any Lender determines that any Law has made it
unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to perform any of its
obligations hereunder or make, maintain or fund or charge interest with respect
to any Credit Extension or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the
Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material
restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take
deposits of, Dollars in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof
by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any
obligation of such Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with
respect to any such Credit Extension or to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate
Loans or to convert Base Rate Committed Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, shall
be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender
making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined
by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest
rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such
 
 
38

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the
Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender
notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving
rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice,
(x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurocurrency Rate
Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate
Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined
by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component
of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if
such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to
such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain
such Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of
such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency
Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension
compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the
Eurocurrency Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in
writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal  for such Lender to
determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate.  Upon any
such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on
the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03            Inability to Determine Rates.  If in connection with any request
for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof,  (a)
(i) the Administrative Agent determines that deposits are not being offered to
banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for Dollars for the applicable
amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or (ii) adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any
requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or
in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan (in each case with
respect to clause (a) above, “Impacted Loans”), or (b) the Administrative Agent
or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason the Eurocurrency Rate for
any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan
does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such
Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the
Borrower and each Lender.  Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make
or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the
affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a
determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the
Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the
Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in
each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required
Lenders) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may
revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans
or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such
request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the
amount specified therein in the case of a Committed Borrowing unless an
alternative rate has been agreed upon pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the
determination described in this Section, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower
and the Required Lenders may agree upon an alternative interest rate for the
Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply
with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes
the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the
first sentence of this Section, (2) the Administrative Agent or the Required
Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such alternative
interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of
funding the Impacted Loans or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it
unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans
whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest
or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any
Governmental Authority has imposed material
 
 
39

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and
provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice thereof.

3.04            Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

(a)            Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:

(i)            impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by,
any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e),
other than as set forth below);

(ii)          subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified
Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of
Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal,
commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities
or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)         impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or
Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of
maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of
any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower
will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)            Capital Requirements.  If any Lender determines that any Change
in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such
Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements
has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s
capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made
by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding
company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding
company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower
will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)            Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender
setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount or
amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case
may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to
the Borrower shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.  The Borrower shall
pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days
after receipt thereof.

(d)            Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to
demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04
shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such
compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a
Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any
 
 
40

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to
the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise
to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim
compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred
to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e)            Additional Reserve Requirements.  The Borrower shall pay to each
Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with
respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds
or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest
on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the
actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as
determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be
conclusive), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with
any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central
banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance
of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such
additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if
necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs
allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such
Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which in each
case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such
Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs
from such Lender.  If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the
relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or costs shall be due
and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

3.05           Compensation for Losses.  Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly
compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or
expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a)            any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan
other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest
Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of
acceleration, or otherwise);

(b)            any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure
of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan
other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the
Borrower; or

(c)            any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than
the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the
Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13;

including any loss of anticipated profits, any foreign exchange losses and any
loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained
by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from
which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange
contract.  The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged
by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under
this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency
Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching
deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for Dollars for a
comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency
Rate Loan was in fact so funded.
 
 
41

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

3.06           Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)            Designation of a Different Lending Office.  Each Lender may make
any Credit Extension to the Borrower through any Lending Office; provided that
the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to
repay the Credit Extension in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01,
or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then at the request of
the Borrower such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different
Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its
rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to
Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need
for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case,
would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay
all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any
Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)            Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes
or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the
account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such Lender
has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance
with Section 3.06(a), or if any Lender delivers a notice under Section 3.02 the
effect of which would be to suspend such Lender’s obligation to make or continue
Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans),
the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

3.07           Survival.  All obligations of the Borrower under this Article III
shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other
Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

requirements of this paragraph (d).

adjustments and the absence of footnotes.

As to any information contained in materials furnished pursuant to Section
6.02(c), the Borrower shall not be separately required to furnish such

Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b) or

the Borrower’s website on the Internet at www.qualcomm.com; or (ii) on which
such documents are posted on the Borrower’s behalf on an Internet or intranet
website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent have access
(whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the
Administrative Agent).  The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to
request the delivery of or to maintain paper copies of the documents referred to
above, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by
the Borrower.

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent and/or the
Arrangers may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Lenders
materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of such Borrower hereunder
(collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on
IntraLinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar, or a substantially similar electronic
transmission system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders (each, a
“Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material
non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its Affiliates, or the
respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in
investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’
securities.  The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are
to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked
“PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear
prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials
“PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative
Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not
containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or
its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws
(provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute
Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.07); (y) all
Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a
portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (z) the
Administrative Agent and the Arranger shall be entitled to treat any Borrower
Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a
portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.”

occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.  Each notice pursuant to this
Section shall (i) be accompanied by a statement of a Responsible Officer of the
Borrower setting forth details of the occurrence referred to therein and stating
what action the Borrower has taken and proposes to take with respect thereto and
(ii) describe with particularity any and all provisions of this Agreement and
any other Loan Document that have been breached.

6.04            Payment of Taxes.  Pay and discharge as the same shall become
due and payable, all tax liabilities, assessments and governmental charges or
levies upon it or its properties or assets, unless (a) the same are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and
adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP are being maintained by the Borrower
or such Subsidiary or (b) the failure to make payment could not reasonably be
expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.05            Preservation of Existence, Etc.  (a) Preserve, renew and
maintain in full force and effect its legal existence and good standing under
the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization except in a transaction
permitted by Section 7.03, (b) take all reasonable action to maintain all
rights, privileges, permits, licenses and franchises necessary or desirable in
the normal conduct of its business, except to the extent that failure to do so
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (c)
preserve or renew all of its registered patents, trademarks, trade names and
service marks, the non-preservation of which could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
 
53

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

6.06            Compliance with Laws.

(a)            Comply in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws
and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its
business or property, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of
Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings diligently conducted; or (b) the failure to comply
therewith could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)            Maintain policies and procedures designed to promote and achieve
compliance with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, the UK
Bribery Act 2010, and other similar anti-corruption legislation in other
jurisdictions and with applicable Sanctions.

in which full, true and correct entries in conformity with GAAP consistently
applied shall be made of all financial transactions and matters involving the
assets and business of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be.

6.08            Use of Proceeds.  Use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions
solely to (a) fund in part the Acquisition and to pay fees and expenses related
to the Transactions and (b) for working capital, capital expenditures, and other
general corporate purposes not in contravention of any Law or of any Loan
Document; provided that the Borrower will not use the proceeds of the Credit
Extensions to purchase or carry any margin stock (within the meaning of
Regulation U issued by the FRB) or to extend credit to others for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any margin stock, in each case in violation of the margin
rules.

6.09            Inspection Rights.  At any time after the occurrence and during
the continuance of a Default, permit representatives and independent contractors
of the Administrative Agent and each Lender to visit and inspect any of its
properties, to examine its corporate, financial and operating records, and make
copies thereof or abstracts therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and
accounts with its directors, officers, and independent public accountants, all
at the expense of the Borrower and at such reasonable times during normal
business hours and as often as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable
advance notice to the Borrower.

ARTICLE IX.
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.01            Appointment and Authority.  Each of the Lenders hereby
irrevocably appoints Goldman Sachs to act on its behalf as the Administrative
Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such
powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or
thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto.  The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as
a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.  It is understood and
agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents
(or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not
intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations
arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used
as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an
administrative relationship between contracting parties.

9.02            Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Administrative
Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a
Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person
serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such
Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own
securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity
for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the
Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the
Lenders.

9.03            Exculpatory Provisions.  The Administrative Agent shall not have
any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the
other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in
nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent:

(a)            shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b)           shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or
exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the
Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its
opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to
liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including
for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic
stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification
or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor
Relief Law; and

(c)            shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other
Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the
failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its
Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

 
61

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken
by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the
Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.  The Administrative
Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until
notice describing such Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent
by the Borrower or a Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set
forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction
of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent.

9.04            Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying
upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document
or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website
posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The
Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by
telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall
not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any
condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled
to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such
condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall
have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of
such Loan.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be
counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by
it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in
accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

9.05            Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any
and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any
other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the
Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may
perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this
Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective
activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided
for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.  The Administrative
Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any
sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction
determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent
acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such
sub-agents.

9.06            Resignation of Administrative Agent.  (a) The Administrative
Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the
Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders
shall have the right, with the written consent of the Borrower (not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank
with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an
office in the United States.  If no such successor
 
 
62

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted
such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives
notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the
Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the
Lenders, appoint, with the written consent of the Borrower (not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), a successor Administrative Agent meeting the
qualifications set forth above, provided that in no event shall any such
successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender.  Whether or not a
successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in
accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b)            If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting
Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders
may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to the
Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with
the written consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), appoint a successor.  If no such successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders)
(the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become
effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c)            With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal
Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by
the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan
Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold
such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is
appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed
to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications
and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative
Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if
any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as
provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or
removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 3.01(g) and
other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the
retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or
the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom
as provided above in this Section) .  The fees payable by the Borrower to a
successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. 
After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and
Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or
removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related
Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them
while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative
Agent.

9.07            Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each
Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other
 
 
63

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.

9.08            No Other Duties, Etc.  Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers, Syndication Agents or
Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers,
duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or
a Lender hereunder.

9.09            Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the
pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial
proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of
whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the
Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

(a)            to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal
and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations
that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary
or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their
respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial
proceeding; and

(b)            to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event
that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent
to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to
vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

ARTICLE X.
MISCELLANEOUS

10.01        Amendments, Etc.  No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the
Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required
Lenders and the Borrower and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment,

the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

10.02        Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communication.

(a)            Notices Generally.  Except in the case of notices and other
communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as
provided in subsection (b) below), all notices and other communications provided

courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by facsimile as
follows, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder
to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as

provided in subsection (b) below, shall be effective as provided in such
subsection (b).

(b)            Electronic Communications.  Notices and other communications to
the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication
(including e‑mail, FpML messaging and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to
procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing

has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices
under such Article by electronic communication.  The Administrative Agent or the
Borrower may each, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other

procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be
limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(c)            The Platform.  THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS
AVAILABLE.”  THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR
COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND
EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER
MATERIALS.  NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING
ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE
DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR
THE PLATFORM.  In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related
Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower,
any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the
Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials or
notices through the platform, any other electronic platform or electronic
messaging service, or through the Internet except to the extent such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are found to have resulted from the
gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Agent Party by a final
and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that
in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender
or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive
damages (as opposed to direct and actual damages).

(d)            Change of Address, Etc.  Each of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent may change its address, facsimile or telephone number for
notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties
hereto.  Each other Lender may change its address, facsimile or telephone number
for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent.  In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the
Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent
has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number,
facsimile number and electronic mail address to which notices and other
communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. 
Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on
behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side
Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the
Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance
with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including
United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower
Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information”
portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information
with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States
Federal or state securities laws.

(e)            Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders.  The Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices
(including telephonic notices and Committed Loan Notices) purportedly given by
or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner
specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other
form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the
recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof.  The Borrower shall indemnify
the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them
from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by
such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower,
except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct of such Person as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of
a court of competent jurisdiction.  All telephonic notices to and other
telephonic
 
 
67

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the
Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such
recording.

10.03        No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement.  No failure by any
Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person
in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy,
power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein
provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan
Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents against the Borrower or any of them shall be vested
exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such
enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the
Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the
Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies
that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent)
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising
setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of
Section 2.13), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and
filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative
to the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at
any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights
otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and
(ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the
preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent
of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as
authorized by the Required Lenders.

10.04        Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a)            Costs and Expenses.  The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable,
documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its
Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel
for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution,
delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or
any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof
(whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
consummated) and (ii) all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender), in
connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection
with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under
this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all
such reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout,
restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(b)            Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall indemnify
the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Arrangers and each
Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person
being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from,
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including
the fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel to the
 
 
68

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
Administrative Agent, one primary counsel to the other Indemnitees taken as a
whole, if necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, one
specialty counsel for each relevant specialty (to the extent reasonably
necessary) and one or more additional counsel if one or more conflicts of
interest, or perceived conflicts of interest, arise (which shall be limited to
one counsel for each group of similarly affected Indemnitees)), incurred by any
Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the
Borrower) other than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby or thereby, the syndication of Commitments hereunder, the performance by
the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case
of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties
only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
(including in respect of any matters addressed in Section 3.01), (ii) any Loan
or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom and (iii) any actual or
prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of
the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether
brought by a third party or by the Borrower, and regardless of whether any
Indemnitee is a party thereto, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR
ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE
NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from either
(A) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee,
(B) the material breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any
other Loan Document or (C) a dispute solely among Indemnitees (other than any
claims against any Indemnitee in its capacity as the Administrative Agent or an
Arranger or any similar role under the Loan Documents) and not arising out of
any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. 
Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01(c), this Section 10.04(b) shall
not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses,
claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c)            Reimbursement by Lenders.  To the extent that the Borrower for
any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or
(b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any
sub-agent thereof), or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender
severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), or
such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined
as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is
sought based on each Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure at such time)
of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim
asserted by such Lender), such payment to be made severally among them based on
such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount,
provided further that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim,
damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or
asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its
capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting
for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such
capacity.  For purposes of this Section 10.04(c), a Lender’s “pro rata share”
shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the Total Credit Exposure
of all Lenders at the applicable time.  The obligations of the Lenders under
this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).
 
 
69

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(d)            Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.  To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives,
and acknowledges that no other Person shall have, any claim against any
Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or
any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.  No Indemnitee
referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from
the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials
distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in
connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting
from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as
determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction.

(e)             Payments.  All amounts due under this Section shall be payable
not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.

(f)             Survival.  The agreements in this Section and the indemnity
provisions of Section 10.02(e) shall survive the resignation of the
Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the
Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the
other Obligations.

10.05            Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any payment by or on
behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the
Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such
payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent
or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any
other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or
otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation 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 setoff had
not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so
recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from
the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum
equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the
applicable currency of such recovery or payment.  The obligations of the Lenders
under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of
the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

10.06            Successors and Assigns.

(a)            Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the
Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each
Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the
provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in
accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by
way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions
of subsection (e) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or
transfer by any party hereto
 
 
70

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall
be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent
provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.

(b)            Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one
or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the
time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the
following conditions:

(i)            Minimum Amounts.

(A)            in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of
the assigning Lender’s Commitment or contemporaneous assignments to related
Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such Assignments) that equal
at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the
aggregate and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment
to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount
need be assigned; and

(B)            in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this
Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes
Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the
principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to
each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if
“Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade
Date, shall not be less than, in the case of Revolving Commitments or Revolving
Loans, $5,000,000 and in the case of Term Commitments or Term Loans,
$10,000,000, in each case, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long
as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise
consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii)          Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as
an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment
assigned; provided that this clause (ii) shall not be construed to prohibit the
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans.

(iii)         Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any
assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section
and, in addition:

(A)           the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment
is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the
Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such
 
 
71

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the
Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice
thereof; and

(B)            the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a
Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund
with respect to such Lender.

(iv)         Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption,
together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500;
provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion,
elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any
assignment.  The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v)          No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made
(A) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to
any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon
becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons
described in this clause (B), or (C) to a natural Person (or to a holding
company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary
benefit of a natural Person).

(vi)         Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of
rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment
shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto
set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional
payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon
distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by
the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating
actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously
requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the
applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and
satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon)
and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans
of the applicable Class in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of such
Class.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of
rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective
under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph,
then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for
all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to
this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with
respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such
 
 
72

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by
the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a
waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s
having been a Defaulting Lender.  Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense)
shall execute and deliver a Note evidencing the Loans of each applicable Class
to the assignee Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall
be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection
(d) of this Section.

(c)            Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this
purpose as an agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for Tax
purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each
Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in
electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses
of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated
interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from
time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive
absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant
to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. 
The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender,
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  No
assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been
recorded in the Register as provided in this subsection.

(d)            Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent
of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations
to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment
vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural
Person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates
or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s
rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of
its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  For
the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under
Section 10.04(c) without regard to the existence of any participation.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any  provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to
Section 10.01 that affects such Participant.  The Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05
(subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements
under Section 3.01(e)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section
(it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall
be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation); provided that such
Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.06 and
10.13 as if it were an assignee under subsection (b) of this Section and (B)
shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01 or
3.04, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired
the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the
extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results
 
 
73

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable
participation.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s
request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to
effectuate the provisions of Section 3.06 with respect to any Participant.  To
the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such
Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. 
Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as
a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters
the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated
interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under
the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall
have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register
(including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a
Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other
obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that
such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of
credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of
the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register
shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such
participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to
the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its
capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a
Participant Register.

(e)            Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
(including under its Note(s), if any) to secure obligations of such Lender,
including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve
Bank or other central banking authority; provided that no such pledge or
assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

10.07        Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.  Each of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of
the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed
(a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective employees,
advisors (including legal counsel), independent auditors and other experts,
agents or representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such
disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the
extent required or requested by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction
over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory
authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to
the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any order of any
court or administrative agency or in any pending legal or administrative
proceeding, or otherwise as required by compulsory legal process (in which case
such Lender will inform the Borrower promptly prior to such disclosure to the
extent practicable and not prohibited by law, rule or regulation), (d) to any
other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights
hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or
Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement, or any Eligible Assignee invited to
be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.15(d) or (ii) any actual or prospective party
(or its partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees,
administrators, managers, advisors and representatives) to any swap, derivative
or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the
Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) on a
confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the
Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or
(ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the
issuance and monitoring of
 
 
74

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities
provided hereunder, (h) with the consent of the Borrower or (i) to the extent
such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a
breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any
Lender or any of their respective Affiliates from a source other than the
Borrower that is not to such Lender’s knowledge subject to confidentiality
obligations to the Borrower.  In addition, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this
Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending
industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in
connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents
and the Commitments. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all
information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the
Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any
such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on
a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary;
provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any
Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the
time of delivery as confidential.  Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered
to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the
same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such
Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the
Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower
or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures
regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such
material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including
United States Federal and state securities Laws.

10.08        Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any
time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law,
to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final, in whatever currency, but excluding deposits in
(a) payroll accounts, (b) health savings accounts, worker’s compensation
accounts and other employee benefits accounts and (c) withholding tax accounts)
at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing
by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the
Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or its
Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have
made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although
such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a
branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or
Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that
in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff,
(x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative
Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15
and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from
its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to
the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the
Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right
of setoff.  The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are
in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that
such Lender or its Affiliates may have.  Each Lender agrees to notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and
application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such setoff and application.
 
 
75

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

10.09        Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the
Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest
permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If the Administrative Agent
or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate,
the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it
exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower.  In determining whether
the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or
a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an
expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments
and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in
equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated
term of the Obligations hereunder.

10.10        Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement, the other
Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable
to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof.  Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when
the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when
taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. 
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by
facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

10.11        Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations
and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document
delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith
shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.  Such
representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of
any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full
force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall
remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

10.12        Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality,
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the
parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of
which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this
Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in
this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief
Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such
provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

10.13        Replacement of Lenders.  If the Borrower is entitled to replace a
Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.06, or if any Lender is a
Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender or if any other circumstance exists
hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party
hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to
such Lender and the
 
 
76

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and
consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights (other than
its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.04) and
obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible
Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a)            the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the
assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.06(b);

(b)           such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and
all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of
such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in
the case of all other amounts);

(c)            in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments thereafter;

(d)           such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

(e)            in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a
Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the
applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if,
prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation
cease to apply.

10.14        Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

(a)            GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND
ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT

Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its
Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services

Arrangers nor any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its
Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those
obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and
(iii) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders and their
respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that
involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and
neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, nor any Lender has any
obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or any of its
Affiliates.  To the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Borrower hereby waives
and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the
Arrangers or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency
or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated
hereby.

10.17        Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. 
The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like
import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation
Assignment and Assumptions, amendments or other modifications, Committed Loan
Notices, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures,
the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on
electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of
records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect,
validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a
paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as
provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures
in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures
and Records Act, or any other similar state Laws based on the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept
electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by
the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.

10.18        USA PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as
hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf
of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of
the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26,
2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name
and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or
the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance
with the Act.  The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other
information that the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing
obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering
rules and regulations, including the Act.

10.19        Judgment Currency.  If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in
any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan
Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall
be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative
Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business
Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.  The obligation of the
Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or
any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding
any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which
such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this
Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on
the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender,
as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency,
the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance
with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment
Currency.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the
sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower
in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, as the case may be, against such loss.  If the amount of the Agreement
Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or
such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to
the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under
applicable Law).

10.20        ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY
EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE
PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.

10.21        ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND CONSENT TO BAIL-IN OF EEA FINANCIAL
INSTITUTIONS.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or
in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties to any
such agreement, arrangement or understanding, each party hereto acknowledges
that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising
under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be
subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority
and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)            the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA
Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be
payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b)            the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability,
including, if applicable:

(i)            a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such
liability;

(ii)          a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares
or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent
entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred
on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted
by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(iii)         the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with
the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution
Authority.
