Administrative Agent provide the Borrower with the most recent LIBOR or CDOR
available to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall provide
such quoted rate to the Borrower on the date of such request. If no Interest
Period is specified with respect to any requested LIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan, then
the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s
duration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Existing Loans
being continued as Revolving Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall deliver the
Initial Notice of Continuation to the Administrative Agent.
(c)    Funding of Revolving Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of
Borrowing under the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Administrative
Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the proposed borrowing. Each
Revolving Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Revolving Loan to be made
by such Lender to the Borrower with the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of
Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars, at the Principal Office, in immediately
available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time on the date of such
proposed Revolving Loans and (ii) in the case of each Revolving Loan denominated
in a Foreign Currency, at the Multicurrency Payment Office for such currency, in
immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time on the date of
such proposed Revolving Loans. Any Revolving Lender that was not a “Lender”
under the Existing Credit Agreement shall deposit its ratable share of any
Revolving Loan to be made available by such Lender to the Borrower with the
Administrative Agent, at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds by
11:00 a.m. Central time or such later time specified by the Administrative Agent
on the Effective Date in accordance with instructions received from the
Administrative Agent. Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set
forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 (in the case of any borrowing on the Effective
Date) and Section 6.2 (in the case of any borrowing after the Effective Date),
the Administrative Agent shall make available to the Borrower in the account
specified in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement, not later than 2:00 p.m.
Central time or Local Time, as the case may be, on the date of the requested
borrowing of Revolving Loans, the proceeds of such amounts received by the
Administrative Agent.
(d)    Assumptions Regarding Funding by Revolving Lenders. With respect to
Revolving Loans to be made after the Effective Date, unless the Administrative
Agent shall have been notified by any Revolving Lender that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent a Revolving Loan to be made by such
Lender in connection with any borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume
that such Lender will make the proceeds of such Revolving Loan available to the
Administrative Agent in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section
2.1, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower the amount of such
Revolving Loan to be provided by such Lender. In such event, if such Lender does
not make available to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of such Revolving
Loan, then such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent on demand the amount of such Revolving Loan with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such Revolving Loan is made
available to the Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender,
the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation (including without limitation an overnight foreign currency rate in
the case of Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency) and (ii) in the case of a
payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate
Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay the amount of such interest to
the Administrative Agent for the same or 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 to the Administrative Agent
the amount of such Revolving Loan, the amount so paid shall constitute such
Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower

41

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

shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a
Revolving Lender that shall have failed to make available the proceeds of a
Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender.
Section 2.2.    Term Loans.
(a)    Making of Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on the
Effective Date, each Term Loan Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make,
or continue to make a portion of the Existing Loans available as, a Term Loan to
the Borrower in the aggregate principal amount equal to such Lender’s Term Loan
Commitment Percentage of $1.0 billion (the “Initial Term Loan Amount”), in
accordance with the terms hereof. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
each Term Loan Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make additional Term
Loans to the Borrower in up to four (4) installments during the Term Loan
Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount for all such Term Loan
Lenders and Term Loans not to exceed $200,000,000 and, with respect to each Term
Loan Lender, in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment
Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the additional Term Loans being
requested by the Borrower; provided, that after giving effect thereto, the
aggregate amount of all Term Loans made by each Term Loan Lender shall not
exceed such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. Upon a Lender’s funding of
all or any portion of its Term Loan Commitment, the Term Loan Commitment of such
Lender shall terminate by the amount so funded (it being understood that any
Continuation of Existing Loans on the Effective Date shall be deemed to
constitute funding for purposes of this sentence). In the event that the
Borrower does not Continue and/or borrow the full Initial Term Loan Amount on
the Effective Date as contemplated by this Agreement, the Term Loan Commitments
shall be reduced by an amount equal to any such undrawn portion of the Initial
Term Loan Amount on such date. Any undrawn portion of the Term Loan Commitments
shall be reduced to zero at the expiration of the Term Loan Availability Period.
(b)    Requests for Term Loans. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent the Initial Notice of Continuation with respect to the Initial Term Loan
Amount. Such notice shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Borrower.
With respect to Term Loans made by the Term Loan Lenders after the Effective
Date, not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time at least one (1) Business Day prior
to a borrowing of Term Loans that are to be Base Rate Loans and not later than
11:00 a.m. Central time at least three (3) Business Days prior to a borrowing of
Term Loans that are to be LIBOR Loans, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such requested borrowing by hand delivery or telecopy of
a Notice of Borrowing or by telephone (which, in the case of notification by
telephone, shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the
Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing). Each such Notice of Borrowing,
whether telephonic or written, shall specify the aggregate principal amount of
the Term Loans to be borrowed, the date such Term Loans are to be borrowed
(which must be a Business Day), the Type of the requested Term Loans, and if
such Term Loans are to be LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period for such Term
Loans. Each Notice of Borrowing, whether telephonic or written, shall be
irrevocable once given and binding on the Borrower. Prior to delivering a Notice
of Borrowing, the Borrower may (without specifying whether a Term Loan will be a
Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan) request that the Administrative Agent provide
the Borrower with the most recent LIBOR available to the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall provide such quoted rate to the Borrower on the
date of such request.
(c)    Funding of Term Loans. Each Term Loan Lender shall deposit an amount
equal to the Term Loan to be made or made available by such Term Loan Lender to
the Borrower with the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, in
immediately available funds (i) by 11:00 a.m. Central time or such later time
specified by the Administrative Agent in accordance with instructions received
from the Administrative Agent on the Effective Date (in the case of any Lender
that is not a “Lender” under the Existing Credit Agreement) and (ii) by 11:00
a.m. Central time on such other date specified by the Borrower in any Notice

42

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

of Borrowing. Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth in
Sections 6.1 and 6.2 (in the case of any borrowing on the Effective Date) and
Section 6.2 (in the case of any borrowing after the Effective Date), the
Administrative Agent shall make available to the Borrower in the account
specified by the Borrower in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement, not later
than 2:00 p.m. Central time on the Effective Date and each such other date
specified by the Borrower in any Notice of Borrowing, the proceeds of such
amounts received by the Administrative Agent. The Borrower may not reborrow any
portion of the Term Loans once repaid.
Section 2.3.    Bid Rate Loans.
(d)    Bid Rate Loans. At any time during the period from the Effective Date to
but excluding the Revolving Termination Date, and so long as the Parent
continues to maintain an Investment Grade Rating from at least two of Moody’s,
S&P and Fitch, the Borrower may, as set forth in this Section, request the
Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders to make offers to make Bid Rate Loans to the
Borrower in Dollars. The Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders may, but shall have no
obligation to, make such offers and the Borrower may, but shall have no
obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this Section.
(e)    Requests for Bid Rate Loans. When the Borrower wishes to request from the
Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders offers to make Bid Rate Loans, it shall give
the Administrative Agent notice (a “Bid Rate Quote Request”) so as to be
received no later than 11:00 a.m. Central time on (x) the Business Day
immediately preceding the date of borrowing proposed therein, in the case of an
Absolute Rate Auction and (y) the date four (4) Business Days prior to the
proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction. The Administrative
Agent shall deliver to each Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender a copy of each Bid
Rate Quote Request promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent.
The Borrower may request offers to make Bid Rate Loans for up to three (3)
different Interest Periods in any one Bid Rate Quote Request; provided that if
granted each separate Interest Period shall be deemed to be a separate borrowing
(a “Bid Rate Borrowing”). Each Bid Rate Quote Request shall be substantially in
the form of Exhibit N and shall specify as to each Bid Rate Borrowing all of the
following:
(i)    the proposed date of such Bid Rate Borrowing, which shall be a Business
Day;
(ii)    the aggregate amount of such Bid Rate Borrowing which shall be in a
minimum amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof which shall not cause any of the limits specified in Section 2.16 to be
violated;
(iii)    whether the Bid Rate Quote Request is for LIBOR Margin Loans or
Absolute Rate Loans; and
(iv)    the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, which shall not
extend beyond the Revolving Termination Date.
The Borrower shall not deliver any Bid Rate Quote Request within five (5)
Business Days of the giving of any other Bid Rate Quote Request and the Borrower
shall not deliver more than three (3) Bid Rate Quote Requests in any calendar
month.
(f)    Bid Rate Quotes.
(i)    Each Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender may submit one or more Bid Rate
Quotes, each containing an offer to make a Bid Rate Loan in response to any Bid
Rate Quote Request; provided that, if the Borrower’s request under Section
2.3(b) specified more than one Interest Period,

43

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

such Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender may make a single submission containing
only one Bid Rate Quote for each such Interest Period. Each Bid Rate Quote must
be submitted to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:30 a.m. Central time
(x) on the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction
and (y) on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of
borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction, and in either case the Administrative
Agent shall disregard any Bid Rate Quote received after such time; provided that
the Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender then acting as the Administrative Agent may
submit a Bid Rate Quote only if it notifies the Borrower of the terms of the
offer contained therein not later than 30 minutes prior to the latest time by
which the Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders must submit applicable Bid Rate
Quotes. Any Bid Rate Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the consent
of the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Borrower. Such Bid Rate
Loans may be funded by a Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender’s Designated Lender (if
any) as provided in Section 13.5(h); however, such Dollar Tranche Revolving
Lender shall not be required to specify in its Bid Rate Quote whether such Bid
Rate Loan will be funded by such Designated Lender.
(ii)    Each Bid Rate Quote shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit O and
shall specify:
(A)    the proposed date of borrowing and the Interest Period therefor;
(B)    the principal amount of the Bid Rate Loan for which each such offer is
being made; provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Bid Rate Loans
for which a Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender submits Bid Rate Quotes (x) may be
greater or less than the Revolving Commitment of such Dollar Tranche Revolving
Lender but (y) shall not exceed the principal amount of the Bid Rate Borrowing
for a particular Interest Period for which offers were requested; provided
further that any Bid Rate Quote shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and
integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;
(C)    in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, the rate of interest per annum
(rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent
(0.01%)) offered for each such Absolute Rate Loan (the “Absolute Rate”);
(D)    in the case of a LIBOR Auction, the margin above or below applicable
LIBOR (the “LIBOR Margin”) offered for each such LIBOR Margin Loan, expressed as
a percentage (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest one-hundredth of one
percent (0.01%)) to be added to (or subtracted from) the applicable LIBOR; and
(E)    the identity of the quoting Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender.
Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, no Bid
Rate Quote shall contain qualifying, conditional or similar language or propose
terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Bid Rate
Quote Request and, in particular, no Bid Rate Quote may be conditioned upon
acceptance by the Borrower of all (or some specified minimum) of the principal
amount of the Bid Rate Loan for which such Bid Rate Quote is being made.
(g)    Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall, as
promptly as practicable after the Bid Rate Quotes are submitted (but in any
event not later than 11:30 a.m. Central time (x) on the proposed date of
borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction or (y) on the date three (3)
Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR
Auction), notify the Borrower

44

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

of the terms (i) of any Bid Rate Quote submitted by a Dollar Tranche Revolving
Lender that is in accordance with Section 2.3(c) and (ii) of any Bid Rate Quote
that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Bid Rate
Quote submitted by such Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender with respect to the same
Bid Rate Quote Request. Any such subsequent Bid Rate Quote shall be disregarded
by the Administrative Agent unless such subsequent Bid Rate Quote is submitted
solely to correct a manifest error in such former Bid Rate Quote. The
Administrative Agent’s notice to the Borrower shall specify (A) the aggregate
principal amount of the Bid Rate Borrowing for which offers have been received
and (B) the principal amounts and Absolute Rates or LIBOR Margins, as
applicable, so offered by each Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender (identifying the
Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender that made such Bid Rate Quote).
(h)    Acceptance by Borrower.
(i)    Not later than 12:30 p.m. Central time (x) on the proposed date of
borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction and (y) on the date three (3)
Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR
Auction, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or
nonacceptance of the Bid Rate Quotes so notified to it pursuant to Section
2.3(d) which notice shall be in the form of Exhibit P. In the case of
acceptance, such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Bid Rate
Quotes for each Interest Period that are accepted. The failure of the Borrower
to give such notice by such time shall constitute nonacceptance. The Borrower
may accept any Bid Rate Quote in whole or in part; provided that:
(A)    the aggregate principal amount of each Bid Rate Borrowing may not exceed
the applicable amount set forth in the related Bid Rate Quote Request;
(B)    the aggregate principal amount of each Bid Rate Borrowing shall comply
with the provisions of Section 2.3(b)(ii) and together with all other Bid Rate
Loans then outstanding shall not cause the limits specified in Section 2.16 to
be violated;
(C)    acceptance of Bid Rate Quotes may be made only in ascending order of
Absolute Rates or LIBOR Margins, as applicable, in each case beginning with the
lowest rate so offered;
(D)    any acceptance in part by the Borrower shall be in a minimum amount of
$5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and
(E)    the Borrower may not accept any Bid Rate Quote that fails to comply with
Section 2.3(c) or otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this
Agreement.
(ii)    If Bid Rate Quotes are made by two or more Dollar Tranche Revolving
Lenders with the same Absolute Rates or LIBOR Margins, as applicable, for a
greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which Bid Rate
Quotes are permitted to be accepted for the related Interest Period, the
principal amount of Bid Rate Loans in respect of which such Bid Rate Quotes are
accepted shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such Dollar
Tranche Revolving Lenders in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of
such Bid Rate Quotes. Determinations by the Administrative Agent of the amounts
of Bid Rate Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(i)    Obligation to Make Bid Rate Loans. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly (and in any event not later than (x) 1:30 p.m. Central time on the
proposed date of borrowing of Absolute Rate Loans and (y) on the date three (3)
Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing of LIBOR Margin Loans)

45

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

notify each Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender as to whose Bid Rate Quote has been
accepted and the amount and rate thereof. A Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender who
is notified that it has been selected to make a Bid Rate Loan may designate its
Designated Lender (if any) to fund such Bid Rate Loan on its behalf, as
described in Section 13.5(d). Any Designated Lender which funds a Bid Rate Loan
shall on and after the time of such funding become the obligee in respect of
such Bid Rate Loan and be entitled to receive payment thereof when due. No
Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender shall be relieved of its obligation to fund a
Bid Rate Loan, and no Designated Lender shall assume such obligation, prior to
the time the applicable Bid Rate Loan is funded. Any Dollar Tranche Revolving
Lender whose offer to make any Bid Rate Loan has been accepted shall, not later
than 2:30 p.m. Central time on the date specified for the making of such Loan,
make the amount of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent at its
Principal Office in immediately available funds, for the account of the
Borrower. The amount so received by the Administrative Agent shall, subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the Borrower
not later than 3:30 p.m. Central time on such date by depositing the same, in
immediately available funds, in an account of the Borrower designated by the
Borrower.
(j)    No Effect on Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitment. Except for the purpose
and to the extent expressly stated in Section 2.13 and 2.16, the amount of any
Bid Rate Loan made by any Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender shall not constitute a
utilization of such Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender’s Dollar Tranche Revolving
Commitment.
Section 2.4.    Letters of Credit.
(a)    Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
including without limitation, Section 2.16, the Issuing Bank, on behalf of the
Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders, agrees to issue for the account of the
Borrower during the period from and including the Effective Date to, but
excluding, the date five (5) days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, one
or more standby letters of credit denominated in Dollars (each a “Letter of
Credit”) up to a maximum aggregate Stated Amount at any one time outstanding not
to exceed $50,000,000 as such amount may be reduced from time to time in
accordance with the terms hereof (the “L/C Commitment Amount”).
(b)    Terms of Letters of Credit. At the time of issuance, the amount, form,
terms and conditions of each Letter of Credit, and of any drafts or acceptances
thereunder, shall be subject to approval by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower
(such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may (i) the expiration date of any
Letter of Credit extend beyond the date that is five (5) days prior to the
Revolving Termination Date, or (ii) any Letter of Credit have an initial
duration in excess of one year; provided, however, a Letter of Credit may
contain a provision providing for the automatic extension of the expiration date
in the absence of a notice of non-renewal from the Issuing Bank but in no event
shall any such provision permit the extension of the expiration date of such
Letter of Credit beyond the date that is five (5) days prior to the Revolving
Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Letter of Credit may, as a
result of its express terms or as the result of the effect of an automatic
extension provision, have an expiration date of not more than one year beyond
the Revolving Termination Date (any such Letter of Credit being referred to as
an “Extended Letter of Credit”), so long as the Borrower delivers to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Bank no later than thirty
(30) days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, Cash Collateral for such
Letter of Credit for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account in an
amount equal to the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit; provided, that the
obligations of the Borrower under this Section in respect of such Extended
Letters of Credit shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall
remain in effect until no such Extended Letters of Credit remain outstanding. If
the Borrower fails to provide Cash Collateral with respect to any Extended
Letter of Credit by the date thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Termination
Date, such failure shall be treated as a drawing

46

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

under such Extended Letter of Credit (in an amount equal to the maximum Stated
Amount of such Letter of Credit), which shall be reimbursed (or participations
therein funded) by the Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders in accordance with the
immediately following subsections (i) and (j), with the proceeds being utilized
to provide Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit. The initial Stated Amount
of each Letter of Credit shall be at least $10,000 (or such lesser amount as may
be acceptable to the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower).
(c)    Requests for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall give the
Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent written notice at least five (5)
Business Days (or such later date acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its sole
discretion) prior to the requested date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, such
notice to describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Letter of
Credit and the nature of the transactions or obligations proposed to be
supported by such Letter of Credit, and in any event shall set forth with
respect to such Letter of Credit the proposed (i) initial Stated Amount, (ii)
beneficiary, and (iii) expiration date. The Borrower shall also execute and
deliver such customary applications and agreements for standby letters of
credit, and other customary forms as requested from time to time by the Issuing
Bank. Provided the Borrower has given the notice prescribed by the first
sentence of this subsection and delivered such applications and agreements
referred to in the preceding sentence, subject to the other terms and conditions
of this Agreement, including the satisfaction of any applicable conditions
precedent set forth in Section 6.2, the Issuing Bank shall issue the requested
Letter of Credit on the requested date of issuance for the benefit of the
stipulated beneficiary; provided, that in no event shall the Issuing Bank be
obligated to issue such Letter of Credit prior to the date five (5) Business
Days following the date after which the Issuing Bank has received all of the
items required to be delivered to it under this subsection. The Issuing Bank
shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such
issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Bank or any Dollar Tranche
Revolving Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law. References
herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit
shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of
Credit, unless the context otherwise requires. Upon the written request of the
Borrower, the Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Borrower a copy of each issued
Letter of Credit within a reasonable time after the date of issuance thereof. To
the extent any term of a Letter of Credit Document is inconsistent with a term
of any Loan Document, the term of such Loan Document shall control.
(d)    Reimbursement Obligations. Upon receipt by the Issuing Bank from the
beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of
Credit, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of the amount to be paid by the Issuing Bank as a result of
such demand and the date on which payment is to be made by the Issuing Bank to
such beneficiary in respect of such demand; provided, however, that the Issuing
Bank’s failure to give, or delay in giving, such notice shall not discharge the
Borrower in any respect from the applicable Reimbursement Obligation. The
Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay and
reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of each demand for payment under such
Letter of Credit at or prior to the date on which payment is to be made by the
Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest
or other formalities of any kind. Upon receipt by the Issuing Bank of any
payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation, the Issuing Bank shall
promptly pay to each Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender that has funded its
participation therein under subsection (i) such Lender’s Dollar Tranche
Revolving Commitment Percentage of such payment.
(e)    Manner of Reimbursement. Upon its receipt of a notice referred to in the
immediately preceding subsection (d), the Borrower shall advise the
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank whether or not the Borrower intends to
borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the
amount of the related demand for payment and, if it does, the Borrower shall
submit a timely request for such borrowing as provided in the applicable
provisions of this Agreement. If the Borrower fails to so advise

47

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

the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, or if the Borrower fails to
reimburse the Issuing Bank for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by
the date of such payment, the failure of which the Issuing Bank shall promptly
notify the Administrative Agent, then (i) if the applicable conditions contained
in Article VI would permit the making of Dollar Tranche Revolving Loans, the
Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Dollar Tranche
Revolving Loans from the Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders (which shall be Base
Rate Loans) in an amount equal to the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation and the
Administrative Agent shall give each Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender prompt
notice of the amount of the Dollar Tranche Revolving Loan to be made available
to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon Central time and (ii) if
such conditions would not permit the making of Dollar Tranche Revolving Loans,
the provisions of subsection (j) of this Section shall apply. The amount
limitations set forth in the second sentence of Section 2.1(a) shall not apply
to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans under this subsection.
(f)    Effect of Letters of Credit on Revolving Commitments. Upon the issuance
by the Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit
shall have expired or been cancelled, the Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitment of
each Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all
purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to the product of (i) such
Lender’s Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitment Percentage and (ii) (A) the Stated
Amount of such Letter of Credit plus (B) any related Reimbursement Obligations
then outstanding.
(g)    Issuing Bank’s Duties Regarding Letters of Credit; Unconditional Nature
of Reimbursement Obligations. In examining documents presented in connection
with drawings under Letters of Credit and making payments under such Letters of
Credit against such documents, the Issuing Bank shall only be required to use
the same standard of care as it uses in connection with examining documents
presented in connection with drawings under letters of credit in which it has
not sold participations and making payments under such letters of credit. The
Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the
Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, none of the Issuing Bank,
Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders shall be responsible for, and the
Borrower’s obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall not be affected in
any manner by, (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or
legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the
application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under any Letter of
Credit even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects
invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or
sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to
transfer or assign any Letter of Credit, or the rights or benefits thereunder or
proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or
ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of
Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such
Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in
transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telex, telecopy,
electronic mail or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in
interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or
otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter
of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the
beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds of any drawing under any
Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the
control of the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. None of
the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the Issuing
Bank’s or Administrative Agent’s rights or powers hereunder. Any action taken or
omitted to be taken by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter
of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final,
non-appealable judgment), shall not create against the Issuing Bank any
liability to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. In this
connection, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any
drawing made under any Letter of Credit, and to repay any Dollar Tranche
Revolving Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the immediately preceding
subsection (e), shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be
paid

48

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

strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any other applicable
Letter of Credit Document under all circumstances whatsoever, including without
limitation, the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or
enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document or any term or provisions
therein; (B) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or
any of the Letter of Credit Documents; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff,
defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against the
Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter
of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the
transactions contemplated hereby or in the Letter of Credit Documents or any
unrelated transaction; (D) any breach of contract or dispute between the
Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other
Person; (E) any demand, statement or any other document presented under a Letter
of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any
respect or any statement therein or made in connection therewith being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (F) any non application or misapplication
by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds of any drawing under
such Letter of Credit; (G) payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of
Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not strictly
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (H) any other act, omission
to act, delay or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of
this Section, constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of the
Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section or Section 13.9, but not in limitation of the
Borrower’s unconditional obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any
drawing made under a Letter of Credit as provided in this Section and to repay
any Dollar Tranche Revolving Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the
immediately preceding subsection (e), the Borrower shall have no obligation to
indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of
any liability incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such
Lender arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender in respect of a Letter of
Credit as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final,
non-appealable judgment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, nothing
in this Section shall affect any rights the Borrower may have with respect to
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit.
(h)    Amendments, Etc. The issuance by the Issuing Bank of any amendment,
supplement or other modification to any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the
same conditions applicable under this Agreement to the issuance of new Letters
of Credit (including, without limitation, that the request therefor be made
through the Issuing Bank), and no such amendment, supplement or other
modification shall be issued unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit
affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been
issued hereunder in such amended, supplemented or modified form or (ii) the
Administrative Agent and the Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders, if any, required
by Section 13.6 shall have consented thereto. In connection with any such
amendment, supplement or other modification, the Borrower shall pay the fees, if
any, payable under the last sentence of Section 3.5(c).
(i)    Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders’ Participation in Letters of Credit.
Immediately upon the issuance by the Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit each
Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have absolutely, irrevocably
and unconditionally purchased and received from the Issuing Bank, without
recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of
such Lender’s Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitment Percentage of the liability of
the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit and each Dollar Tranche
Revolving Lender thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably
assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally
obligated to the Issuing Bank to pay and discharge when due, such Lender’s
Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Issuing Bank’s liability
under such Letter of Credit. In addition, upon the making of each payment by a
Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Issuing Bank in respect of any Letter of Credit pursuant to the immediately
following subsection (j), such Lender shall, automatically and

49

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

without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank, the Administrative
Agent or such Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such
payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to the Issuing Bank by the
Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in a
percentage equal to such Lender’s Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitment Percentage
in any interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower in respect of such
Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees payable to the Issuing Bank
pursuant to the second and the last sentences of Section 3.5(c)).
(j)    Payment Obligation of Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders. Each Dollar
Tranche Revolving Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent,
for the account of the Issuing Bank, on demand in immediately available funds in
Dollars the amount of such Lender’s Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitment
Percentage of each drawing paid by the Issuing Bank under each Letter of Credit
to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to
subsection (d) of this Section 2.4; provided, however, that in respect of any
drawing under any Letter of Credit, the maximum amount that any Dollar Tranche
Revolving Lender shall be required to fund, whether as a Dollar Tranche
Revolving Loan or as a participation, shall not exceed such Lender’s Dollar
Tranche Revolving Commitment Percentage of such drawing except as otherwise
provided in Section 3.9(d). If the notice referenced in the second sentence of
Section 2.4(e) is received by a Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender not later than
11:00 a.m. Central time, then such Lender shall make such payment available to
the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. Central time on the date of
demand therefor; otherwise, such payment shall be made available to the
Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. Central time on the next
succeeding Business Day. Each Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender’s obligation to
make such payments to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, and the
Administrative Agent’s right to receive the same for the account of the Issuing
Bank, shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected
in any way by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) the
failure of any other Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender to make its payment under
this subsection, (ii) the financial condition of the Borrower or any other Loan
Party, (iii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default, including any
Event of Default described in Section 11.1(e) or (f), (iv) the termination of
the Revolving Commitments or (v) the delivery of Cash Collateral in respect of
any Extended Letter of Credit. Each such payment to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Issuing Bank shall be made without any offset, abatement,
withholding or deduction whatsoever.
(k)    Information to Lenders. Promptly following any change in Letters of
Credit outstanding, the Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Administrative Agent,
which shall promptly deliver the same to each Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender
and the Borrower, a notice describing the aggregate amount of all Letters of
Credit outstanding at such time. Upon the request of any Dollar Tranche
Revolving Lender from time to time, the Issuing Bank shall deliver any other
information reasonably requested by such Lender with respect to each Letter of
Credit then outstanding. Other than as set forth in this subsection, the Issuing
Bank shall have no duty to notify the Lenders regarding the issuance or other
matters regarding Letters of Credit issued hereunder. The failure of the Issuing
Bank to perform its requirements under this subsection shall not relieve any
Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender from its obligations under the immediately
preceding subsection (j).
(l)    Extended Letters of Credit. Each Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender confirms
that its obligations under the immediately preceding subsections (i) and (j)
shall be reinstated in full and apply if the delivery of any Cash Collateral in
respect of an Extended Letter of Credit is subsequently invalidated, declared to
be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Law or otherwise.
Section 2.5.    Swingline Loans.

50

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

(a)    Swingline Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including
without limitation Section 2.16, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline
Loans denominated in Dollars to the Borrower, during the period from the
Effective Date to but excluding the Swingline Maturity Date, in an aggregate
principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding,
$25,000,000, as such amount may be reduced from time to time in accordance with
the terms hereof. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline
Loans outstanding at such time exceeds the Swingline Commitment in effect at
such time, the Borrower shall immediately pay the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Swingline Lender the amount of such excess. Subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow
Swingline Loans hereunder.
(b)    Procedure for Borrowing Swingline Loans. The Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender notice pursuant to a Notice of
Swingline Borrowing or telephonic notice of each borrowing of a Swingline Loan.
Each Notice of Swingline Borrowing shall be delivered to the Swingline Lender no
later than 11:00 a.m. Central time on the proposed date of such borrowing. Any
telephonic notice shall include all information to be specified in a written
Notice of Swingline Borrowing and shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the
Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing sent to the Swingline
Lender by telecopy on the same day of the giving of such telephonic notice. Not
later than 1:00 p.m. Central time on the date of the requested Swingline Loan
and subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section
6.2 for such borrowing, the Swingline Lender will make the proceeds of such
Swingline Loan available to the Borrower in Dollars, in immediately available
funds, at the account specified by the Borrower in the Notice of Swingline
Borrowing.
(c)    Interest. Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal
to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for
Revolving Loans accruing interest at the Base Rate or at such other rate or
rates as the Borrower and the Swingline Lender may agree from time to time in
writing. Interest on Swingline Loans is solely for the account of the Swingline
Lender (except to the extent a Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender acquires a
participating interest in a Swingline Loan pursuant to subsection (e) of this
Section 2.5). All accrued and unpaid interest on Swingline Loans shall be
payable on the dates and in the manner provided in Section 2.6 with respect to
interest on Base Rate Loans (except as the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may
otherwise agree in writing in connection with any particular Swingline Loan).
(d)    Swingline Loan Amounts, Etc. Each Swingline Loan shall be in the minimum
amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, or such
other minimum amounts agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the Borrower.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 2.16, a borrowing of
Swingline Loans may be in the aggregate amount of the unused Swingline
Commitment. Any voluntary prepayment of a Swingline Loan must be in integral
multiples of $100,000 or the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding
Swingline Loans comprising a single Swingline borrowing (or such other minimum
amounts upon which the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree) and in
connection with any such prepayment, the Borrower must give the Swingline Lender
and the Administrative Agent prior written notice thereof no later than 12:00
noon Central time on the day prior to the date of such prepayment. The Swingline
Loans shall, in addition to this Agreement, be evidenced by the Swingline Note.
(e)    Repayment and Participations of Swingline Loans. The Borrower agrees to
repay each Swingline Loan within one (1) Business Day of demand therefor by the
Swingline Lender and, in any event, within five (5) Business Days after the date
such Swingline Loan was made; provided, that the proceeds of a Swingline Loan
may not be used to pay a Swingline Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued
but unpaid interest on, the Swingline Loans on the Swingline Maturity Date (or
such earlier date as the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may

51

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

agree in writing). In lieu of demanding repayment of any outstanding Swingline
Loan from the Borrower, the Swingline Lender may, on behalf of the Borrower
(which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf),
request a borrowing of Dollar Tranche Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans
from the Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders in an amount equal to the principal
balance of such Swingline Loan. The amount limitations contained in the second
sentence of Section 2.1(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of such Dollar
Tranche Revolving Loans made pursuant to this subsection. The Swingline Lender
shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of any such borrowing of Dollar
Tranche Revolving Loans not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time at least one (1)
Business Day prior to the proposed date of such borrowing. Promptly after
receipt of such notice of borrowing of Dollar Tranche Revolving Loans from the
Swingline Lender under the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative
Agent shall notify each Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender of the proposed
borrowing. Not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time on the proposed date of such
borrowing, each Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender will make available to the
Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of the Swingline
Lender, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Dollar Tranche
Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall pay the
proceeds of such Dollar Tranche Revolving Loans to the Swingline Lender, which
shall apply such proceeds to repay such Swingline Loan. If the Dollar Tranche
Revolving Lenders are prohibited from making Dollar Tranche Revolving Loans
required to be made under this subsection for any reason whatsoever, including
without limitation, the existence of any of the Defaults or Events of Default
described in Sections 11.1(e) or (f), each Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender shall
purchase from the Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided
interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Dollar Tranche
Revolving Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Loan, by directly purchasing a
participation in such Swingline Loan in such amount and paying the proceeds
thereof to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender in
Dollars and in immediately available funds. A Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender’s
obligation to purchase such a participation in a Swingline Loan shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance
whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) any claim of setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any other Person may
have or claim against the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any
other Person whatsoever, (ii) the existence of a Default or Event of Default
(including without limitation, any of the Defaults or Events of Default
described in Sections 11.1 (e) or (f)), or the termination of any Dollar Tranche
Revolving Lender’s Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitment, (iii) the existence (or
alleged existence) of an event or condition which has had or could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of any Loan Document
by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party,
or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing. If such amount is not in fact made available to
the Swingline Lender by any Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender, the Swingline
Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender,
together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand
thereof, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender does not pay such amount
forthwith upon the Swingline Lender’s demand therefor, and until such time as
such Lender makes the required payment, the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to
continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of such unpaid
participation obligation for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than
those provisions requiring the other Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders to
purchase a participation therein). Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have
assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Dollar
Tranche Revolving Loans, and any other amounts due it hereunder, to the
Swingline Lender to fund Swingline Loans in the amount of the participation in
Swingline Loans that such Lender failed to purchase pursuant to this Section
until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment or
otherwise).
Section 2.6.    Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.

52

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

(a)    Rates. The Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made
by such Lender in the currency of such Loan (subject to Sections 2.10, 3.1(b)
and 5.2) for the period from and including the date of the making of such Loan
to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following per
annum rates:
(i)    during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate
(as in effect from time to time), plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate
Loans;
(ii)    during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR for such Loan
for the applicable Agreed Currency and Interest Period therefor, plus the
Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans;
(iii)    during such periods as such Loan is a CDOR Loan, at CDOR for the
Interest Period therefor, plus the Applicable Margin for CDOR Loans;
(iv)    if such Loan is an Absolute Rate Loan, at the Absolute Rate for such
Loan for the Interest Period therefor quoted by the Lender making such Loan in
accordance with Section 2.3; and
(v)    if such Loan is a LIBOR Margin Loan, at LIBOR for such Loan for the
Interest Period therefor plus the LIBOR Margin quoted by the Lender making such
Loan in accordance with Section 2.3.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) automatically upon any Event of Default under
Section 11.1(a), (e) or (f) or (y) at the option of the Requisite Lenders (by
notice to the Borrower) while any other Event of Default exists, the Borrower
shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender and the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, interest at the Post-Default Rate on the
outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender, on all
Reimbursement Obligations and on any other amount payable by the Borrower
hereunder to or for the account of such Lender (including without limitation,
accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).
(b)    Payment of Interest. All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding
principal amount of each Loan shall be payable (i) monthly in arrears on the
first day of each month, commencing with the first full calendar month occurring
after the Effective Date and (ii) on any date on which the principal balance of
such Loan is due and payable in full (whether at maturity, due to acceleration
or otherwise). Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from
time to time on demand. All determinations by the Administrative Agent of an
interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the
Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Section 2.7.    Number of Interest Periods.
There may be no more than ten (10) different Interest Periods for LIBOR Loans,
CDOR Loans and Bid Rate Loans, collectively outstanding at the same time.
Section 2.8.    Repayment of Loans.
(a)    Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding
principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Revolving Loans
on the Revolving Termination Date in the currency of such Loan (subject to
Sections 2.10, 3.1(b) and 5.2).

53

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

(b)    Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal
amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Term Loans on the Term
Loan Maturity Date.
(c)    Bid Rate Loans. The Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal
amount of, and all accrued interest on, each Bid Rate Loan on the last day of
the Interest Period of such Bid Rate Loan; it being acknowledged that the
Borrower may repay any Bid Rate Loans with the proceeds of Revolving Loans or
Swingline Loans.
Section 2.9.    Prepayments.
(a)    Optional. Subject to Section 5.4, the Borrower may prepay any Loan (other
than a Bid Rate Loan) at any time without premium or penalty. A Bid Rate Loan
may only be prepaid (i) with the prior written consent of the Lender holding
such Bid Rate Loan, (ii) to the extent the Borrower has expressly stated in the
Bid Rate Quote Request for such Bid Rate Loans that such Bid Rate Loans are
subject to prepayment at the option of the Borrower or (iii) on the Termination
Date. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at least three (3)
Business Days’ prior written notice of the prepayment, in the case of any LIBOR
Loan in Dollars, four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice of the prepayment,
in the case of any CDOR Loan or any LIBOR Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency
and one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice of the prepayment, in the case
of any Base Rate Loan. Each voluntary prepayment of Loans shall be in an
aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof. Any notice of prepayment may be conditioned upon the
consummation of any financing or acquisition or similar transaction and, to the
extent such condition is not satisfied by the date of prepayment specified
therein, such notice of prepayment may be revoked or the date of prepayment
specified therein may be delayed.
(b)    Mandatory.
(iii)    Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitment Overadvance. If at any time the
aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Dollar Tranche Revolving Loans,
Swingline Loans and Bid Rate Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all
Letter of Credit Liabilities, exceeds the aggregate amount of the Dollar Tranche
Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall, within one (1) Business Day of
demand, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Dollar Tranche
Revolving Lenders, the amount of such excess.
(iv)    Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Commitment Overadvance. If at any time
(x) other than as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the
aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Multicurrency Tranche Revolving
Loans exceeds the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving
Commitments, the Borrower shall, within one (1) Business Day of demand, pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving
Lenders, the amount of such excess, and (y) solely as a result of fluctuations
in currency exchange rates, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding
Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Loans exceeds 105% of the aggregate amount of
the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall, within one
(1) Business Day of demand, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Lenders, an amount sufficient to cause the
aggregate amount of the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Loans to be less than or
equal to the aggregate Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Commitments. Excess
amounts under the immediately preceding clause (y) shall be determined on each
Computation Date as described in Section 2.19.
(v)    Bid Rate Facility Overadvance. If at any time the aggregate principal
amount of all outstanding Bid Rate Loans exceeds one half of the aggregate
amount of all Dollar Tranche

54

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

Revolving Commitments at such time, then the Borrower shall immediately pay to
the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the applicable Lenders the amount
of such excess.
(vi)    Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Amounts paid under the preceding
subsection (b)(i) shall be applied first, to outstanding Reimbursement
Obligations, if any, second, to outstanding Swingline Loans, if any, third, to
outstanding Dollar Tranche Revolving Loans, if any, fourth, to outstanding Bid
Rate Loans, if any, pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2 and if any Letters
of Credit are outstanding at such time, the remainder, if any, shall be
deposited into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account for application to any
Reimbursement Obligations. Amounts paid under the preceding subsection (b)(iii)
shall be applied in accordance with Section 3.2(g). If the Borrower is required
to pay any outstanding LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or LIBOR Margin Loans by reason
of this Section prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period therefor, the
Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 5.4.
(c)    No Effect on Derivatives Contracts. No repayment or prepayment of the
Loans pursuant to this Section shall affect any of the Borrower’s obligations
under any Derivatives Contracts entered into with respect to the Loans.
Section 2.10.    Continuation.
So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower may on any
Business Day, with respect to any LIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan, elect to maintain
such Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan, as applicable, by
selecting a new Interest Period for such Loan. Each Continuation of a LIBOR Loan
or a CDOR Loan shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $2,500,000 (or, if
such Loan is denominated in a Foreign Currency, 2,500,000 units of such
currency) and integral multiples of $500,000 (or, if such Loan is denominated in
a Foreign Currency, 500,000 units of such currency) in excess of that amount,
and each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the
last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period. Each selection of a new
Interest Period shall be made by the Borrower giving to the Administrative Agent
a Notice of Continuation not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time on the third
(3rd) Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation (or, if the Loan
to be continued is in a Foreign Currency, not later than 11:00 a.m. Local Time
on the fourth (4th) Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation).
Any notice by the Borrower of a Continuation shall be by telecopy, electronic
mail or other similar form of communication in the form of a Notice of
Continuation, specifying (a) the proposed date of such Continuation, (b) the
LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or portions thereof subject to such Continuation and (c)
the duration of the selected Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in
such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Existing Loans
being Continued as Loans hereunder on the Effective Date, the Borrower shall
deliver a Notice of Continuation (including breakage indemnification) in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent at least two
(2) Business Days prior to the Effective Date (the “Initial Notice of
Continuation”). Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding
on the Borrower once given. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Continuation,
the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Continuation.
If the Borrower shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period
for any LIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan in accordance with this Section, such Loan will
automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, continue
as a LIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan, as applicable, with an Interest Period of one
month; provided, however that if a Default or Event of Default exists, unless
repaid such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest
Period therefor and notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.11 or the
Borrower’s failure to comply with any of the terms of such Section 2.11, (i) in
the case of a LIBOR Loan denominated in Dollars, Convert into a Base Rate Loan
and (ii) in the case of a CDOR Loan or a LIBOR Loan denominated

55

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

in a Foreign Currency, be redenominated in Dollars and Converted to a Base Rate
Loan in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of Conversion) of
such Loan.
Section 2.11.    Conversion.
The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon the Borrower’s giving of a Notice of
Conversion to the Administrative Agent by telecopy, electronic mail or other
similar form of communication, Convert all or a portion of a Loan denominated in
Dollars of one Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, that (a) a
Loan in one Agreed Currency cannot be voluntarily converted into a Loan in a
different Agreed Currency and (b) a Base Rate Loan may not be Converted into a
LIBOR Loan if a Default or Event of Default exists. Each Conversion of Base Rate
Loans into LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $2,500,000 and
integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount. Each such Notice of
Conversion shall be given not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time three (3)
Business Days prior to the date of any proposed Conversion. Promptly after
receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Administrative Agent shall notify each
Lender of the proposed Conversion. Subject to the restrictions specified above,
each Notice of Conversion shall be by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar
form of communication in the form of a Notice of Conversion specifying (a) the
requested date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Loan to be Converted, (c) the
portion of such Type of Loan to be Converted, (d) the Type of Loan such Loan is
to be Converted into and (e) if such Conversion is into a LIBOR Loan, the
requested duration of the Interest Period of such Loan. If the Borrower shall
elect a conversion to LIBOR Loans but fail to select an Interest Period for any
LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Section, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month. Each Notice of Conversion shall be
irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given.
Section 2.12.    Notes.
(a)    Notes. To the extent requested by any Revolving Lender, the Revolving
Loans made by such Revolving Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also
be evidenced by a Revolving Note, payable to the order of such Revolving Lender
in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Revolving Commitment as
originally in effect and otherwise duly completed. To the extent requested by
any Revolving Lender making a Bid Rate Loan, the Bid Rate Loans made by a
Revolving Lender to the Borrower shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be
evidenced by a Bid Rate Note payable to the order of such Revolving Lender. The
Swingline Loans made by the Swingline Lender to the Borrower shall, in addition
to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Swingline Note payable to the order of
the Swingline Lender. To the extent requested by any Term Loan Lender, the Term
Loan made by a Term Loan Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be
evidenced by a Term Note, payable to the order of such Term Loan Lender in a
principal amount equal to the amount of its Term Loan and otherwise duly
completed.
(b)    Records. The date, amount, interest rate, Type and duration of Interest
Periods (if applicable) of each Loan made by each Lender to the Borrower, and
each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such
Lender on its books and such entries shall be binding on the Borrower absent
manifest error; provided, however, that (i) the failure of a Lender to make any
such record shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower under any of the
Loan Documents and (ii) if there is a discrepancy between such records of a
Lender and the statements of accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 3.8, in the absence of manifest error, the statements of
account maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.8 shall be
controlling.
(c)    Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Notes. Upon receipt by the Borrower
of (i) written notice from a Lender that a Note of such Lender has been lost,
stolen, destroyed or mutilated, and (ii)(A) in the case of loss, theft or
destruction, an agreement of indemnity from such Lender in form reasonably

56

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

satisfactory to the Borrower, which agreement of indemnity shall be unsecured
but shall not impair any right of set-off the Borrower may have against such
Lender in connection with any loss incurred by the Borrower as a result of such
lost note, or (B) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of
such Note, the Borrower shall at its own expense execute and deliver to such
Lender a new Note dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated
Note.
Section 2.13.    Voluntary Reductions of the Revolving Commitments and Term Loan
Commitments.
(a)    The Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce the aggregate
unused amount of the Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitments (for which purposes of
calculating use of the Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to
include the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities and the
aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Bid Rate Loans and Swingline
Loans) at any time and from time to time without penalty or premium upon not
less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent of each such termination or reduction (or, in the case of any termination
in full of the Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitments, such later notice as is
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), which notice shall specify
the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction (which in the
case of any partial reduction of the Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitments shall
not be less than $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess of
that amount in the aggregate) and shall be irrevocable once given and effective
only upon receipt by the Administrative Agent (any notice satisfying such
requirements, including as it relates to other Tranches as provided below in
this Section 2.13, a “Commitment Reduction Notice”).
(b)    The Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce the aggregate
unused amount of the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Commitments at any time and
from time to time without penalty or premium upon delivery of a Commitment
Reduction Notice not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior to the date of
such termination or reduction (or, in the case of any termination in full of the
Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Commitments, such later notice as is reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent).
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), the Borrower may not
reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments below $100,000,000
unless the Borrower is terminating the Revolving Commitments in full. Any notice
of termination may be conditioned upon the consummation of any financing or
acquisition or similar transaction and, to the extent such condition is not
satisfied by the effective date specified therein, such notice of termination
may be revoked or the effective date specified therein may be delayed. Promptly
after receipt of a Commitment Reduction Notice the Administrative Agent shall
notify each Revolving Lender of the proposed termination or Revolving Commitment
reduction. The Revolving Commitments, once reduced or terminated pursuant to
this Section, may not be increased or reinstated. The Borrower shall pay fees
and, to the extent any Revolving Loans are required to be repaid in connection
with such reduction or termination, interest, on such Revolving Loans accrued to
the date of such reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Revolving Lenders,
including but not limited to any applicable compensation due to such Revolving
Lender in accordance with Section 5.4.
(d)    The Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce the aggregate
unused amount of the undrawn Term Loan Commitments at any time and from time to
time without penalty or premium upon delivery of a Commitment Reduction Notice
to the Administrative Agent not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the
date of such termination or reduction in the Term Loan Commitments. Any notice
of termination may be conditioned upon the consummation of any financing or
acquisition or similar transaction and, to the extent such condition is not
satisfied by the effective date specified therein, such notice of termination
may be revoked or the effective date specified therein may be delayed. Promptly
after receipt

57

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

of a Commitment Reduction Notice the Administrative Agent shall notify each Term
Loan Lender of the proposed termination or Term Loan Commitment reduction. The
Term Loan Commitments, once reduced or terminated pursuant to this Section, may
not be increased or reinstated. The Borrower shall pay all fees on the Term Loan
Commitments subject to such termination or reduction accrued to the date of such
reduction or termination of the Term Loan Commitments to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Term Loan Lenders.
Section 2.14.    Extension Option.
The Borrower shall have the right, exercisable one time for the revolving
facility and one time for the Term Loans, to request that the Administrative
Agent and the Revolving Lenders agree to extend the Revolving Termination Date
or the Term Loan Maturity Date, or both, by one year. The Borrower may exercise
such right only by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent at least
thirty (30) days but not more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the
current Revolving Termination Date or Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, a
written request for such extension (an “Extension Request”). The Administrative
Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, if
it receives an Extension Request promptly upon receipt thereof. Subject to
satisfaction of the following conditions, the Revolving Termination Date or the
Term Loan Maturity Date, or both, shall be extended for one year from the then
current Revolving Termination Date or Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable,
effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Extension Request and
payment of the fee referred to in the following clause (y): (x) immediately
prior to such extension and immediately after giving effect thereto, (A) no
Default or Event of Default shall exist and (B) the representations and
warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and each other Loan Party in the
Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all
material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified
by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and
correct in all respects) on and as of the date of such extension with the same
force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that
such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date
(in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and
correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or
warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty
shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and
(y) the Borrower shall have paid the Fees payable under Section 3.5(e) and/or
(f), as applicable. At any time prior to the effectiveness of any such
extension, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, the Borrower shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent a certificate from the chief executive officer or
chief financial officer certifying the matters referred to in the immediately
preceding clauses (x)(A) and (x)(B). The Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify the Borrower once the foregoing conditions have been satisfied and of the
new Revolving Termination Date and/or Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable.
Section 2.15.    Expiration Date of Letters of Credit Past Revolving Commitment
Termination.
If on the date the Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitments are terminated or
reduced to zero (whether voluntarily, by reason of the occurrence of an Event of
Default or otherwise) there are any Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder and
the aggregate Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit exceeds the balance of
available funds on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, then the
Borrower shall, on such date, provide additional Cash Collateral to the
Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Dollar Tranche
Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Bank, for deposit into the Letter of Credit
Collateral Account, in an amount equal to the amount of such excess.
Section 2.16.    Amount Limitations.

58

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

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document:
(a)    no Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender shall be required to make a Dollar
Tranche Revolving Loan or Bid Rate Loan, the Issuing Bank shall not be required
to issue a Letter of Credit and no reduction of the Dollar Tranche Revolving
Commitments pursuant to Section 2.13 shall take effect, if immediately after the
making of such Dollar Tranche Revolving Loan, the issuance of such Letter of
Credit or such reduction in the Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitments (after
giving effect to any substantially concurrent prepayments or repayments):
(i)    the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Dollar Tranche
Revolving Loans, Bid Rate Loans and Swingline Loans, together with the aggregate
amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, would exceed the aggregate amount of
the Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitments at such time; or
(ii)    the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Bid Rate Loans would
exceed 50.0% of the aggregate amount of the Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitments
at such time; and
(b)    no Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Lender shall be required to make a
Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Loan and no reduction of the Multicurrency
Tranche Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.13 shall take effect, if
immediately after the making of such Multicurrency Tranche Loan or such
reduction in the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Commitments (after giving
effect to any substantially concurrent prepayments or repayments) the aggregate
principal amount of all outstanding Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Loans, would
exceed the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Commitments
at such time.
Section 2.17.    Increase in Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitments; Incremental
Term Loans.
The Borrower shall have the right to request increases in the aggregate amount
of the Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitments or enter into one or more tranches
of term loans denominated in Dollars (each an “Incremental Term Loan”) by
providing written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be
irrevocable once given; provided, however, that any such increases and all such
Incremental Term Loans shall not exceed $1.4 billion. Each such increase in the
Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitments or issuance of Incremental Term Loans must
be an aggregate minimum amount of $25,000,000 and integral multiples of
$25,000,000 (or such other amount as may be acceptable to Issuing Bank,
Administrative Agent and Borrower) in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent,
in consultation with the Borrower, shall manage all aspects of the syndication
of such increase in the Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitments or issuance of
Incremental Term Loans, including decisions as to the selection of the existing
Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional
lenders to be approached with respect to such increase and the allocations of
the increase in the Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitments or issuance of
Incremental Term Loans among such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial
institutions and other institutional lenders. No Lender shall be obligated in
any way whatsoever to increase its Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitment, provide
a new Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitment or participate in such Incremental
Term Loans, and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection
with any such requested increase must be an Eligible Assignee consented to by
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an increase in the
Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitment, the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender (in
each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed). If a new Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender becomes a party to this
Agreement, or if any existing Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender is increasing its
Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a
Lender hereunder (or in the case of an existing Lender, increases its Dollar
Tranche Revolving Commitment) (and as a condition

59

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

thereto) purchase from the other Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders its Dollar
Tranche Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined with respect to the Lenders’
respective Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitments and after giving effect to the
increase of Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitments) of any outstanding Dollar
Tranche Revolving Loans, by making available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such other Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders, in same day funds, an
amount equal to (A) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such
Dollar Tranche Revolving Loans to be purchased by such Lender, plus (B) the
aggregate amount of payments previously made by the other Dollar Tranche
Revolving Lenders under Section 2.4(j) that have not been repaid, plus (C)
interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the
outstanding principal amount of such Dollar Tranche Revolving Loans. The
Borrower shall pay to the Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders amounts payable, if
any, to such Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders under Section 5.4 as a result of
the prepayment of any such Dollar Tranche Revolving Loans. Dollar Tranche
Revolving Loans made pursuant to any increased Dollar Tranche Revolving
Commitment and the Incremental Term Loans (a) shall rank pari passu in right of
payment with the Dollar Tranche Revolving Loans and the Term Loans, (b) in the
case of Incremental Term Loans (x) shall not mature earlier than the Term Loan
Maturity Date and (y) shall have the weighted average life to maturity no
shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans, and (c)
shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably
than) the Dollar Tranche Revolving Loans and the Term Loans; provided that (i)
the terms and conditions applicable to any tranche of Incremental Term Loans
maturing after the Term Loan Maturity Date may provide for material additional
or different financial or other covenants or prepayment requirements applicable
only during periods after the Term Loan Maturity Date and (ii) Applicable
Margins applicable to the Incremental Term Loans may deviate from the pricing of
the Dollar Tranche Revolving Loans and the existing Term Loans. Incremental Term
Loans may be made hereunder pursuant to an amendment or an amendment and
restatement (an “Incremental Term Loan Amendment”) of this Agreement and, as
appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender
participating in such tranche and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Term
Loan Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such
amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or
appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect
the provisions of this Section 2.17. Effecting the increase of the Dollar
Tranche Revolving Commitments or issuance of Incremental Term Loans under this
Section is subject to the following conditions precedent: (x) no Default or
Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase,
(y) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and
any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party
shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a
representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such
representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on the
effective date of such increase except to the extent that such representations
and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such
representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material
respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by
materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and
correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date), and (z) the
Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) if not
previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, copies certified by the
Secretary or Assistant Secretary of (A) resolutions adopted by the general
partner of the Borrower authorizing such increase and (B) resolutions adopted by
the board of directors, general partner, managers, members or other appropriate
governing body of each Guarantor authorizing the guaranty of such increase; and
(ii) customary opinion of counsel to the Borrower and the Guarantors, and
addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders covering such customary
matters as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; and (iii) new
Revolving Notes or Term Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any new
Lenders and replacement Revolving Notes or Term Notes executed by the Borrower,
payable to any existing Lenders increasing their Dollar Tranche Revolving
Commitments or participating in the issuance of the Incremental Term Loans, in
the amount of such Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender’s Dollar Tranche Revolving
Commitment at the time

60

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

of the effectiveness of the applicable increase in the aggregate amount of the
Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitments or such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan
Commitment at the time of the effectiveness of such Incremental Term Loans, to
the extent requested by such Lender at least two (2) Business Days prior to the
proposed effective date of such increase in Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitment
Incremental Term Loans . In connection with any increase in the aggregate amount
of the Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitments or issuance of Incremental Term
Loans pursuant to this Section 2.17 any Lender becoming a party hereto shall (1)
execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
request and (2) in the case of any Lender that is organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, provide to the
Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such
other information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply
with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations,
including without limitation, the Patriot Act.
Section 2.18.    Funds Transfer Disbursements.
The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds
of any Loan made by the Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Loan
Documents as requested by an authorized representative of the Borrower to any of
the accounts designated in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement.
Section 2.19.    Determination of Dollar Amounts.
The Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Amount of each Multicurrency
Tranche Revolving Loan:
(a)    as of the date three (3) Business Days prior to the date of a borrowing
or, if applicable, the date of Conversion or Continuation of any Multicurrency
Tranche Revolving Borrowing;
(b)    on and as of the last Business Day of each calendar quarter; and
(c)    during the continuation of an Event of Default, on any other Business Day
elected by the Administrative Agent in its discretion or upon instruction by the
Requisite Lenders or the Requisite Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Lenders.
Each day upon or as of which the Administrative Agent determines Dollar Amounts
as described in the preceding clauses (a), (b) and (c) is herein described as a
“Computation Date” with respect to each Credit Event for which a Dollar Amount
is determined on or as of such day.
Section 2.20.    Judgment Currency.
If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to
convert a sum due from the Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be
payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties
hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the
rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking
procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with
such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main office on the Business
Day preceding that on which final, non appealable judgment is given. The
obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the
Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency
other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the
Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as
the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such
Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with
normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such
other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less
than the sum

61

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

originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be,
in the specified currency, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it
may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such
judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may
be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased
exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other
Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment
to such Lender under Section 3.1, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower.
ARTICLE III.    PAYMENTS, FEES AND OTHER GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 3.1.    Payments.
(d)    Payments by Borrower. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all
payments of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts to be made by the
Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be
made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or
counterclaim (excluding Taxes required to be withheld pursuant to Section 3.10),
to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m.
Central time on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such
payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on
the next succeeding Business Day) or, in the case of any optional prepayment of
all outstanding Obligations on the Termination Date, at such later time on such
Termination Date as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.
Subject to Section 11.5, the Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, specify to the Administrative
Agent the amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to
be applied. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of
a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender by wire
transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring
instructions provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent from time to
time, for the account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such
Lender. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Issuing Bank under this Agreement shall be paid to the Issuing Bank by wire
transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring
instructions provided by the Issuing Bank to the Administrative Agent from time
to time, for the account of the Issuing Bank. In the event the Administrative
Agent fails to pay such amounts to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such amounts, the
Administrative Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per
annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If the due
date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would
otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended
to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the
rate, if any, applicable to such payment for the period of such extension.
(e)    Payments of Multicurrency Tranche Loans. All payments of Multicurrency
Tranche Loans (and interest thereon) hereunder shall be made in the same
currency in which the applicable Loan was made; provided, however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, if, after the making of any Loan in any Foreign
Currency, (i) currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the
country which issues such currency with the result that the type of currency in
which the Loan was made no longer exists, (ii) such Loan is Converted to a Base
Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.10 or 5.2 or (iii) the Borrower is otherwise not
able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders
in such original currency, then all payments to be made by the Borrower
hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when due in Dollars in an
amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of repayment in the case of
clauses (i) and (iii), or as of the date of Conversion in the case of clause
(ii)) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the
Borrower takes all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or
exchange

62

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

regulations or any such required Conversion or inability to make a payment in
such original currency, and the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from and against any loss resulting
from any Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency that is not repaid in the
original currency.
(f)    Presumptions Regarding Payments by Borrower. 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 or
the Issuing Bank 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 (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance
upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such
payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand that amount so
distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, 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 greater of the
Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
Section 3.2.    Pro Rata Treatment.
Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from a
Tranche of Revolving Lenders under Sections 2.1(a), 2.4(e) and 2.5(e) shall be
made from the applicable Revolving Lenders, each payment of the fees under
Sections 3.5(a), 3.5(b), the first sentence of 3.5(c), and 3.5(e) shall be made
for the account of the applicable Revolving Lenders, and each termination or
reduction of the amount of a Tranche of Revolving Commitments under Section 2.13
shall be applied to the respective applicable Revolving Commitments of the
applicable Revolving Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their
respective applicable Revolving Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of
principal of a Tranche of Revolving Loans shall be made for the account of the
applicable Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid
principal amounts of the applicable Revolving Loans held by them, provided that,
subject to Section 3.9, if immediately prior to giving effect to any such
payment in respect of any Tranche of Revolving Loans the outstanding principal
amount of the applicable Revolving Loans shall not be held by the applicable
Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving
Commitments in effect at the time such Revolving Loans were made, then such
payment shall be applied to the applicable Revolving Loans in such manner as
shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount
of the applicable Revolving Loans being held by the applicable Revolving Lenders
pro rata in accordance with such respective applicable Revolving Commitments;
(c) the making of Term Loans under Section 2.2(a) shall be made from the Term
Loan Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Term Loan
Commitments; (d) each payment or prepayment of principal of any tranche of Term
Loans shall be made for the account of the applicable Term Loan Lenders pro rata
in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Term Loans of
such tranche held by them; (e) each payment of interest on a Tranche of
Revolving Loans or Term Loans shall be made for the account of the applicable
Tranche of Revolving Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, pro rata in
accordance with the amounts of interest on such Revolving Loans or Term Loans,
as applicable, then due and payable to the respective Lenders; (f) the
Conversion and Continuation of a Tranche of Revolving Loans or Term Loans of a
particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Sections 5.1(c) and
5.5.) shall be made pro rata among the Revolving Lenders or Term Loan Lenders,
as applicable, according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Loans or
Term Loans, as applicable, and the then current Interest Period for each
Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous; (g) each
prepayment of principal of Bid Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.9(b)(iii) shall
be made for account of the Lenders then owed Bid Rate Loans pro rata in
accordance

63

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

with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Bid Rate Loans then owing to
each such Lender; (h) the Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders’ participation in,
and payment obligations in respect of, Swingline Loans under Section 2.5, shall
be in accordance with their respective Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitment
Percentages; and (i) the Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders’ participation in, and
payment obligations in respect of, Letters of Credit under Section 2.4, shall be
in accordance with their respective Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitment
Percentages. All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts in
respect of the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender
only (except to the extent any Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender shall have
acquired a participating interest in any such Swingline Loan pursuant to Section
2.5(e), in which case such payments shall be pro rata in accordance with such
participating interests).
Section 3.3.    Sharing of Payments, Etc.
If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan
made by it to the Borrower under this Agreement or shall obtain payment on any
other Obligation owing by the Borrower or any other Loan Party through the
exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right
or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other
payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a
Lender not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment
should be distributed to the Lenders in accordance with Section 3.2 or Section
11.5, as applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders
participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct
interests in) the Loans made by the other Lenders or other Obligations owed to
such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to
time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the
benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may actually be
incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) in accordance
with the requirements of Section 3.2 or Section 11.5, as applicable. To such
end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the
resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a
participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to
such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien,
counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if
such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation.
Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or
shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise and retain the benefits of
exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation
of the Borrower.
Section 3.4.    Several Obligations.
No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a
Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other
Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any
other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the
obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other
obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.
Section 3.5.    Fees.
(c)    Closing Fee. On the Effective Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent and each Lender all loan fees as have been agreed to the
Fee Letter.

64

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

(d)    Facility Fees.
(i)    During the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving
Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders a facility fee equal to the
daily aggregate amount of the Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitments (whether or
not utilized) times a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Facility Fee. Such
fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each January,
April, July and October during the term of this Agreement until the earlier of
the Revolving Termination Date and date of termination of the Dollar Tranche
Revolving Commitments or reduction of the Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitments
to zero, and on such earlier date. The Borrower acknowledges that the fee
payable under this clause (i) is a bona fide commitment fee and is intended as
reasonable compensation to the Lenders for committing to make funds available to
the Borrower as described herein and for no other purposes.
(ii)    During the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving
Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Lenders the Revolving Lenders a
facility fee equal to the daily aggregate amount of the Multicurrency Tranche
Revolving Commitments (whether or not utilized) times a rate per annum equal to
the Applicable Facility Fee. Such fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on
the first day of each January, April, July and October during the term of this
Agreement until the earlier of the Revolving Termination Date and date of
termination of the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Commitments or reduction of
the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Commitments to zero, and on such earlier
date. The Borrower acknowledges that the fee payable under this clause (ii) is a
bona fide commitment fee and is intended as reasonable compensation to the
Lenders for committing to make funds available to the Borrower as described
herein and for no other purposes.
(e)    Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender a letter of credit

daily average Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit for the period from and
including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (x) to and including the
date such Letter of Credit expires or is cancelled or terminated or (y) to but
excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full. In addition to such
fees, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Bank solely for its own account, a
fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit equal to one eighth of one
percent (0.125%) of the initial Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit;
provided, however, in no event shall the aggregate amount of such fee in respect
of any Letter of Credit be less than $1,000. The fees provided for in this
subsection shall be nonrefundable and payable, in the case of the fee provided
for in the first sentence, in arrears (i) quarterly on the first day of January,
April, July and October until the earlier of the Revolving Termination Date and

on demand of the Administrative Agent and in the case of the fee provided for in
the second sentence, at the time of issuance of such Letter of Credit. The
Borrower shall pay directly to the Issuing Bank from time to time on demand all
commissions, charges, costs and expenses in the amounts customarily charged or
incurred by the Issuing Bank from time to time in like circumstances with
respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit
or any other transaction relating thereto.

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

(f)    Bid Rate Loan Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent a fee equal to $1000 at the time of each Bid Rate Quote Request made
hereunder for services rendered by the Administrative Agent in connection with
the Bid Rate Loans.
(g)    Revolving Credit Extension Fee. If the Borrower exercises its right to
extend the Revolving Termination Date in accordance with Section 2.14, the
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Revolving Lender a fee equal to fifteen one hundredths of one percent (0.15%) of
the amount of such Revolving Lender’s aggregate Revolving Commitment (whether or
not utilized) in effect on the effective date of such extension. Such fee shall
be due and payable in full on and as a condition to the effective date of such
extension.
(h)    Term Loan Extension Fee. If the Borrower exercises its right to extend
the Term Loan Maturity Date in accordance with Section 2.14, the Borrower agrees
to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Loan Lender a
fee equal to fifteen one hundredths of one percent (0.15%) of the amount of such
Term Loan Lender’s Term Loans outstanding on the effective date of such
extension. Such fee shall be due and payable in full on and as a condition to
the effective date of such extension.
(i)    Ticking Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Term Loan Lender, in respect of each Term Loan Lender’s Term
Loan Commitment remaining after the funding of the Term Loans on the Effective
Date, a ticking fee, which shall accrue at one quarter of one percent (0.25%) on
the daily amount of such Lender’s remaining Term Loan Commitment. Such fee shall
be payable (x) quarterly in arrears on the first day of each January, April,
July and October until the earlier of the expiration date of the Term Loan
Availability Period and the date the Term Loan Commitment has been terminated or
reduced to zero, and on such earlier date. The Borrower acknowledges that the
fee payable hereunder is a bona fide commitment fee and is intended as
reasonable compensation to the Lenders for committing to make funds available to
the Borrower as described herein and for no other purposes.
(j)    Administrative and Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the
administrative and other fees of the Administrative Agent as provided in the Fee
Letter and as may be otherwise agreed to in writing from time to time by the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and
immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing
Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of
facility fees and participation fees, to the applicable Lenders. Fees paid shall
not be refundable under any circumstances.
Section 3.6.    Computations.
Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan,
any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis
of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and the actual number of days
elapsed; provided that interest on Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling and
Canadian Dollars shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days.
Section 3.7.    Usury.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest
rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts
which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively,
the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which
may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender
holding such Loan in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest
payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together

66

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

with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum
Rate. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned
and nonrefundable when due. If 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 Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted
for, charged, or received by 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.
Section 3.8.    Statements of Account.
The Administrative Agent will account to the Borrower monthly with a statement
of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the
Administrative Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon the Borrower absent
manifest error. The failure of the Administrative Agent to deliver such a
statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrower from any of
its obligations hereunder.
Section 3.9.    Defaulting Lenders.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no
longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:
(a)    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 Requisite Lenders, Requisite
Revolving Lenders, Requisite Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders, Requisite
Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Lenders, Requisite Term Loan Lenders and in
Section 13.6.
(b)    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 XI. or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.3 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, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing
by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder;
third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect
to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with subsection (e) below; fourth, as
the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of 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; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to
(x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with
respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing
Bank’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with
respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance
with subsection (e) below; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the
Lenders, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of
a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Bank or
the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such
Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so
long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts
owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of

67

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

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 eighth, 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 or amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender
under Section 2.4(j) in respect of Letters of Credit (such amounts “L/C
Disbursements”), in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded
its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of
Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Article VI were
satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of,
and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis
prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed
to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded
participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swingline Loans are held by
the Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with their
respective Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without
giving effect to the immediately following subsection (d)). 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 or to post Cash
Collateral pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by
such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(c)    Certain Fees.
(i)    Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the Fee payable under
Section 3.5(b)(i) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender
only to the extent allocable to the sum of (1) the outstanding principal amount
of the Dollar Tranche Revolving Loans funded by it, and (2) its Dollar Tranche
Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit for
which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to the immediately following
subsection (e).
(ii)    Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the Fee payable
under Section 3.5(b)(ii) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting
Lender only to the extent allocable to the outstanding principal amount of the
Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Loans funded by it.
(iii)    Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the Fee payable
under Section 3.5(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting
Lender only to the extent allocable to its Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitment
Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided
Cash Collateral pursuant to the immediately following subsection (e).
(iv)    No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the Fee payable under
Section 3.5(e),(f) or (g) for any period during which that Lender is a
Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee
that otherwise would have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(v)    With respect to any Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender
pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (i) through (iv), the Borrower
shall (x) pay to each Non Defaulting Lender that portion of any such Fee
otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting
Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swingline Loans that
has been reallocated to such Non Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately
following subsection (d), (y) pay to the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender,
as applicable, the amount of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting
Lender to the extent not reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to the
immediately following Subsection (d) and allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or
Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and not, in the

68

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

case of the Issuing Bank, Cash Collateralized in accordance with Subsection (e)
of this Section 3.9, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any
such Fee.
(d)    Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any
part of such Defaulting Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender’s participation in
Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the
Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance
with their respective Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitment Percentages
(determined without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Dollar Tranche Revolving
Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Article
VI are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower
shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the
Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions
are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the
aggregate Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Exposure of any Dollar Tranche
Revolving Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting
Lender’s Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall
constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a
Defaulting Lender arising from that Revolving Lender having become a Defaulting
Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such
Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(e)    Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans.
(i)    If the reallocation described in the immediately preceding subsection (d)
above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without
prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x)
first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s
Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting
Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in this subsection.
(ii)    At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1)
Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the
Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash
Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such
Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to the immediately preceding
subsection (d) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an
amount not less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Bank with
respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time.
(iii)    The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such
Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the Issuing Bank, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in
all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to
fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities, to be applied
pursuant to the immediately following clause (iv). If at any time the
Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or
claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank as
herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than
the aggregate Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of
Credit issued and outstanding at such time, the Borrower will, promptly upon
demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent
additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency
(after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(iv)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
Cash Collateral provided under this Section in respect of Letters of Credit
shall be applied to the satisfaction

69

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

of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of
Letter of Credit Liabilities (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a
Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash
Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as
may otherwise be provided for herein.
(v)    Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce
the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as
Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection following (x) the elimination of the
applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender
status of the applicable Revolving Lender), or (y) the determination by the
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash
Collateral; provided that, subject to the immediately preceding subsection (b),
the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Bank may (but shall not be
obligated to) agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future
anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to
the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash
Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the
Loan Documents.
(f)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank 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 (which may include arrangements with respect
to any Cash Collateral), 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 may determine to be necessary to cause the
Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline
Loans to be held pro rata by the applicable Lenders in accordance with their
respective Dollar Tranche Revolving Commitment Percentages, Multicurrency
Tranche Revolving Commitment Percentages or Term Loan Commitment Percentages, as
applicable (determined without giving effect to the immediately preceding
subsection (d)), 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.
(g)    New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Revolving Lender is
a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any
Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure
(after giving effect to any reallocations in accordance with Subsection (a) of
this Section 3.9) after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) the
Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any
Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure
(after giving effect to any reallocations in accordance with subsection (d) of
this Section 3.9, Cash Collateral provided by the Borrower and any defaulting
Lenders at such time) after giving effect thereto.
(h)    Purchase of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. During any period that a
Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, by the Borrower giving written
notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and such Defaulting Lender, demand
that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment and Loans to an Eligible
Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.5(b). No
party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such
replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. In addition, any
Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its
sole discretion, acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting
Lender’s Commitment and Loans via an assignment subject to and in accordance
with the provisions of Section 13.5(b). In connection with any such assignment,
such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested

70

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

to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption
and, notwithstanding Section 13.5(b), shall pay to the Administrative Agent an
assignment fee in the amount of $7,500. The exercise by the Borrower of its
rights under this Section shall, except as provided in the immediately preceding
sentence, be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense
to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders.
Section 3.10.    Taxes.
(a)    Issuing Bank. For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes
the Issuing Bank and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.
(b)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document shall
be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by
Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith
discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or
withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the
applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or
withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such
Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other
applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such
deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and
withholdings for Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower and the other Loan
Parties 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.
(d)    Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties
shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after
demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including
Indemnified Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or
deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any 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 manifest error.
(e)    Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the
Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any
Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the
Borrower or another Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative
Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the
Borrower and the other Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to
such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.5 relating to
the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes
attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the
Administrative Agent 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 shall be conclusive absent manifest
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 any Loan
Document or otherwise payable

71

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

by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any
amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection.
(f)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes
by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to
this Section, the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by
such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return
reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent.
(g)    Status of Lenders.
(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding of any 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 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
set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D))
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:
(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), an electronic
copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent)
of an executed IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) 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 originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS
Form W-8BEN-E, 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, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as

effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section
881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the
Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue
Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of
the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed
originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form
of Exhibit Q-2 or Exhibit Q-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification

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 Q-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), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent) 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 Internal Revenue Code, as
applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable 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 Internal Revenue 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 FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and
withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes

73

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

of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the
date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered
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.
(h)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole
discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes
as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the
payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the
indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise
to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such
indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying
party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such
indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay
any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of
which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax
position than the indemnified party 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 indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other
information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the
indemnifying party or any other Person.
(i)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 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 obligations under any Loan
Document.
ARTICLE IV.    [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
ARTICLE V.    YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.
Section 5.1.    Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.
(m)    Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines that any Regulatory Change
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, or
participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, to
a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have
achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s
policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to
capital adequacy and liquidity), then to the extent requested by such Lender in
writing in accordance with subsection (e) and as reasonably determined by such
Lender (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary
or capricious basis) and generally consistent with similarly situated customers
of such Lender under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 5.1,
after consideration of such factors as such Lender then reasonably determines to
be relevant),

74

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

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.
(n)    Additional Costs. In addition to, and not in limitation of the
immediately preceding subsection, the Borrower shall promptly pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts
as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any
costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making,
Continuing, Converting to or maintaining of any Loans or its obligation to make
any Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such
Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect
of its Loans or its Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in
amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any
Regulatory Change that:
(iii)    changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of
such Loans or its Commitments (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in
clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and Connection
Income Taxes);
(iv)    imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement
applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of
credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on CDOR Loans,
LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Margin Loans is determined to the extent utilized when
determining CDOR or LIBOR for such Loans) relating to any extensions of credit
or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other
credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its
parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without
limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder); or
(v)    imposes on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition,
cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or the Loans made by
such Lender.
In each case, to the extent requested by such Lender in writing in accordance
with subsection (e) and as reasonably determined by the such Lender (which
determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious
basis) and generally consistent with similarly situated customers of such Lender
under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 5.1, after
consideration of such factors as such Lender then reasonably determines to be
relevant).
(o)    Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans, LIBOR Margin Loans and CDOR Loans.
Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding
subsections (a) and (b), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender
either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a
specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of
such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on
LIBOR Loans, LIBOR Margin Loans or CDOR Loans is determined as provided in this
Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender
that includes LIBOR Loans, LIBOR Margin Loans or CDOR Loans, or (ii) becomes
subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or
assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such
Lender to make or Continue LIBOR Loans or CDOR Loans and/or the obligation of
such Lender to Convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans and/or the obligation of
a Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender that has outstanding a Bid

75

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

Rate Quote to make LIBOR Margin Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such
Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of
Section 5.5 shall apply).
(p)    Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit. Without limiting the
obligations of the Borrower under the preceding subsections of this Section (but
without duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based
capital guideline or other requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any
Governmental Authority there shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable any
Tax (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of
the definition of Excluded Taxes and Connection Income Taxes), reserve, special
deposit, capital adequacy, liquidity or similar requirement against or with
respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit and the result shall be
to increase the cost to the Issuing Bank of issuing (or any Lender of purchasing
participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase
participations in) any Letter of Credit or reduce any amount receivable by the
Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, then,
upon demand by the Issuing Bank or such Lender, the Borrower shall pay
immediately to the Issuing Bank or, in the case of such Lender, to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as
specified by the Issuing Bank or such Lender, such additional amounts as shall
be sufficient to compensate the Issuing Bank or such Lender for such increased
costs or reductions in amount, to the extent required by the Issuing Bank or
such Lender in writing in accordance with subsection (e) and as reasonably
determined by the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as applicable, (which
determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious
basis) and generally consistent with similarly situated customers of the Issuing
Bank or such Lender under agreements having provisions similar to this Section
5.1, after consideration of such factors as the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as
applicable, then reasonably determines to be relevant).
(q)    Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the
Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees
to notify the Borrower (and in the case of the Issuing Bank and or a Lender, to
notify the Administrative Agent) of any event occurring after the Agreement Date
entitling the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender to
compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly
as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Bank or any Lender to give such notice shall not release the
Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder except to the extent set forth in
subsection (f). The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, as
the case may be, agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case of the
Issuing Bank or a Lender to the Administrative Agent as well) a certificate
setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this
Section. Determinations by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such
Lender, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Borrower
shall pay the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and or any such Lender, as
the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10)
days after receipt thereof.
(r)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the
Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 5.1 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s
right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be
required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions
suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Regulatory Change giving
rise to such increased costs or reductions (except that, if the Regulatory
Change 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).
Section 5.2.    Suspension of LIBOR Loans, LIBOR Margin Loans and CDOR Loans.

76

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

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the
determination of LIBOR or CDOR for any Interest Period:
(f)    the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be
conclusive) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for the ascertaining
LIBOR or CDOR, as applicable, for such Interest Period;
(g)    the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall
be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits
referred to in the definition of LIBOR or CDOR, as applicable, are not being
provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of
determining rates of interest for LIBOR Loans or CDOR Loans, as applicable, as
provided herein;
(h)    the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall
be conclusive) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition
of LIBOR or CDOR, as appplicable, upon the basis of which the rate of interest
for LIBOR Loans or CDOR Loans, as applicable, for such Interest Period is to be
determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to any Lender of making
or maintaining LIBOR Loans or CDOR Loans, as applicable, for such Interest
Period; or
(i)    any Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender that has outstanding a Bid Rate Quote
with respect to a LIBOR Margin Loan reasonably determines (which determination
shall be conclusive) that LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost
to such Revolving Lender of making or maintaining such LIBOR Margin Loan;
then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt
notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, (i) the Lenders
shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans or
CDOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or CDOR Loans, or Convert Loans into LIBOR
Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period
for each outstanding LIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan, as applicable, either prepay such
Loan or (x) in the case of a LIBOR Loan denominated in Dollars, Convert such
Loan into a Base Rate Loan or (y) in the case of a CDOR Loan or LIBOR Loan
denominated in a Foreign Currency, such Loan shall be automatically
redenominated in Dollars and Converted to a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to
the Dollar Amount (as of the date of Conversion) of such Loan, and (ii) in the
case of clause (d) above, no Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender that has
outstanding a Bid Rate Quote with respect to a LIBOR Margin Loan shall be under
any obligation to make such Loan.
Section 5.3.    Illegality.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (a) if any Lender shall
determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is
unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans
or CDOR Loans hereunder and/or (b) if any Lender that has an outstanding Bid
Rate Quote shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding)
that it is unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain
LIBOR Margin Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the
Borrower thereof (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) and
such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other
Type into, LIBOR Loans or CDOR Loans shall be suspended and/or such Lender’s
obligation to make LIBOR Margin Loans shall be suspended, in each case, until
such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans, LIBOR Margin
Loans or CDOR Loans, as the case may be (in which case the provisions of Section
5.5 shall be applicable).
Section 5.4.    Compensation.

77

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

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 payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR
Loan, CDOR Loan or a Bid Rate Loan, or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan,
made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration)
on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
(b)    any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without
limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified
in Section 6.2 to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan, a CDOR Loan or a Bid
Rate Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base
Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Continue a LIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan on the
requested date of such Conversion or Continuation;
in any such case, excluding any loss of anticipated profits and including any
loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained
by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from
which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary
administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.
Upon the Borrower’s request, such Lender shall provide the Borrower with a
statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the
method for determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrower to the Lenders under
this Section 5.4, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBOR Loan or
CDOR Loan made by it at LIBOR for the applicable Agreed Currency or CDOR, as the
case may be, by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the relevant market for
a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Loan
or CDOR Loan, as applicable, was in fact so funded.
Section 5.5.    Treatment of Affected Loans.
(d)    If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans, or to Continue, or
to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to
Section 5.1(c), Section 5.2 or Section 5.3 then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans
denominated in Dollars shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on
the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in
the case of a Conversion required by Section 5.1(c), Section 5.2, or Section 5.3
on such earlier date as such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable,
may specify to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, as
applicable)) and, unless and until such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in
Section 5.1, Section 5.2 or Section 5.3 that gave rise to such Conversion no
longer exist:
(i)    to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all
payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such
Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
(ii)    all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as
LIBOR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base
Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans
shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

78

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

If such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, as applicable) that the
circumstances specified in Section 5.1(c), 5.2 or 5.3 that gave rise to the
Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist
(which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, agrees to do
promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans
made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall
be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest
Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that,
after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans
and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and
Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.
(e)    If the obligation of any Lender to make or Continue LIBOR Loans or CDOR
Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1(c), Section 5.2 or Section 5.3
then (i) such Lender’s LIBOR Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency and CDOR
Loans shall be automatically Continued into LIBOR Loans or CDOR Loans, as
applicable, with an Interest Period of one month on the last day(s) of the then
current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans or CDOR Loans, as applicable (or, in
the case of a Continuation required by Section 5.1(c), Section 5.2, or Section
5.3 on such earlier date as such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, may specify to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent, as applicable)).
(f)    If the obligation of a Lender to make LIBOR Margin Loans shall be
suspended pursuant to Section 5.1(c) or 5.2, then the LIBOR Margin Loans of such
Lender shall be automatically due and payable on such date as such Lender may
specify to the Borrower by written notice with a copy to the Administrative
Agent.
Section 5.6.    Affected Lenders.
If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.10 or 5.1, or (b)
the obligation of any Lender to make or Continue LIBOR Loans or CDOR Loans, or
to Convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans, shall be suspended pursuant to
Section 5.1(c) or 5.3, then, so long as there does not then exist any Default or
Event of Default, the Borrower may demand that such Lender (the “Affected
Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its
Commitment to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the
provisions of Section 13.5(b) for a purchase price equal to (x) the aggregate
principal balance of all Loans then owing to the Affected Lender, plus (y) the
aggregate amount of payments previously made by the Affected Lender under
Section 2.4(j) that have not been repaid, plus (z) any accrued but unpaid
interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or
any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and
Eligible Assignee. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender
shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected
Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such
Affected Lender, any other Lender or any Titled Person be obligated in any way
whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible
Assignee. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be
at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the
Administrative Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms
of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to
any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this
Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 3.10, 5.1 or 5.4)
with respect to any period up to the date of replacement.
Section 5.7.    Change of Lending Office.
Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its
internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an alternate
Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected

79

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

by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.10, 5.1 or 5.3 to reduce
the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long
as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such
Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation
to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.

81

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

Section 6.2.    Conditions Precedent to All Loans and Letters of Credit.
In addition to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent contained in
Section 6.1, the obligations of (i) Lenders to make any Loans and (ii) the
Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit are each subject to the further
conditions precedent that: (a) no Default or Event of Default shall exist as of
the date of the making of such Loan or date of issuance of such Letter of Credit
or would exist immediately after giving effect thereto, and no violation of the
limits described in Section 2.16 would occur after giving effect thereto; (b)
the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and each
other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be
true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a
representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such
representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as
of the date of the making of such Loan or date of issuance of such Letter of
Credit with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except

Parent or any other Loan Party), (a)(ii) (other than with respect to the Parent,
the Borrower or any Parent Guarantor), (b)

82

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

and (c), where the failure to be so qualified or authorized could not reasonably

bound; or (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon

(t)    Taxes. All federal and state income and other material tax returns of
each of the Parent, the Borrower, each other Loan Party and each other

the immediately preceding clauses (x) through (z) is based on or related to the
on-site or off-site manufacture, generation, processing, distribution, use,
treatment, storage, disposal, transport, removal, clean up or handling, or the
emission, discharge, release or threatened release of any wastes or Hazardous
Material, or any other requirement under Environmental Law. There is no civil,
criminal, or administrative action, suit, demand, claim, hearing, notice, or
demand letter, mandate, order, lien, request, investigation, or proceeding
pending or, to the Parent’s or the Borrower’s knowledge after due inquiry,
threatened, against the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and
its implementing regulations, or any state or local priority list promulgated

knowledge, no Hazardous Materials generated at or transported from the
Properties are or have been transported to, or disposed of at, any location that
is listed or proposed for listing on the National Priority List or any analogous
state or local priority list, or any other location that is or has been the
subject of a clean-up, removal or remedial action pursuant to any Environmental
Law, except to the extent that such transportation or disposal could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(z)    Investment Company. None of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan
Party or any other Subsidiary of the Parent is (i) an “investment company” or a
company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (ii) subject to any other
Applicable Law which purports to regulate or restrict its ability to borrow
money or obtain other extensions of credit or to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or to perform its obligations under any Loan
Document to which it is a party.
(aa)    Margin Stock. None of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or
any Subsidiary of the Parent is engaged principally, or as one of its important
activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose, whether
immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying “margin stock” within
the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System.
(bb)    Intellectual Property. Each of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan
Party and any other Subsidiary of the Parent owns or has the right to use, under
valid license agreements or otherwise, all patents, licenses, franchises,
trademarks, trademark rights, service marks, service mark rights, trade names,
trade name rights, trade secrets and copyrights (collectively, “Intellectual
Property”) necessary to the conduct of its businesses, without known conflict
with any patent, license, franchise, trademark, trademark right, service mark,
service mark right, trade secret, trade name, copyright, or other proprietary
right of any other Person except, in each case, where the failure to own or have
the right to use such Intellectual Property or such contract, could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All such Intellectual
Property is fully protected and/or duly and properly registered, filed or issued
in the appropriate office and jurisdictions for such registrations, filing or
issuances, except to the extent as could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. No material claim has been asserted in writing by any
Person against Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other
Subsidiary with respect to the use of any such Intellectual Property by the
Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary of the
Parent, or challenging or questioning the validity or effectiveness of any such
Intellectual Property, the adverse determination of which could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The use of such

86

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

Intellectual Property (to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, with respect to any
licensed Intellectual Property) by the Parent, the Borrower, the other Loan
Parties and the other Subsidiaries of the Parent does not infringe on the rights
of any Person, subject to such claims and infringements as do not, in the
aggregate, give rise to any liabilities on the part of the Parent, the Borrower,
any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary of the Parent that could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(cc)    [Intentionally Omitted.]
(dd)    Accuracy and Completeness of Information. All written information,
reports and other papers and data (other than financial projections and other
forward looking statements) furnished to the Administrative Agent or any Lender
by, on behalf of, or at the direction of, the Parent, the Borrower, any other
Loan Party or any other Subsidiary of the Parent, taken as a whole and after
giving effect to any supplements and updates thereto, do not contain any
material misstatement of fact or fail to state any material fact necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. All financial projections and other forward looking
statements prepared by or on behalf of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan
Party or any Subsidiaries of the Parent that have been or may hereafter be made
available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender were or will be prepared in
good faith based on reasonable assumptions (it being understood that any such
projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, some of
which are beyond the control of such Person, that no assurance can be given that
any particular projections will be realized, that actual results may differ and
that such differences may be material).
(ee)    Not Plan Assets; No Prohibited Transactions. None of the assets of the
Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary of the Parent
constitutes “plan assets” within the meaning of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code
and the respective regulations promulgated thereunder. Assuming that no Lender
funds any amount payable by it hereunder with “plan assets,” as that term is
defined in 29 C.F.R. 2510.3-101, the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the extensions of credit and
repayment of amounts hereunder, do not and will not constitute “prohibited
transactions” under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code.
(ff)    Sanctions; Anti-Corruption Laws. None of the Parent, the Borrower, any
of the other Loan Parties, any of the other Subsidiaries of the Parent or, to
the knowledge of the Parent, any other Affiliate, director, officer, employee or
agent of the Parent or any Subsidiary thereof: (i) is a Person named on a
Sanctions List; (ii) is (A) an agency of the government of a country, (B) an
organization controlled by a country, or (C) a person resident in a country that
is subject to a sanctions program identified on a Sanctions List, as such
program may be applicable to such agency, organization or person; (iii) derives
any of its assets or operating income from investments in or transactions with
any such country, agency, organization or person; (iv) has received notice of
any action, suit, proceeding or investigation against it with respect to
Sanctions from any Sanctions Authority; or (v) is in violation of any
Anti-Corruption Laws in any material respect. Without limiting the foregoing,
none of the proceeds from any Loan, and no Letter of Credit, have been or will
be used in violation of Section 8.8.

a REIT and is in compliance with all requirements and conditions imposed under
the Internal Revenue Code to allow the Parent to maintain its status as a REIT.

however, that this Section shall not require the payment or discharge of any
such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim (x) which is being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been
established on the books of such Person in accordance with GAAP or (y) in
respect of which the failure to do so could not be reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 8.7.    Books and Records; Inspections.

to examine and make abstracts from any of their respective books and records and
to discuss their respective affairs, finances and accounts with their respective
officers, employees and independent public accountants (in the presence of an

Agent or any Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the
Parent, the Borrower, any Loan Party or any Subsidiary be required to disclose

Permitted Acquisitions, Restricted Payments permitted hereunder and refinancing
indebtedness). The Borrower shall only use Letters of Credit for the same
purposes for which it may use the proceeds of Loans. The Borrower shall not, and
shall not permit any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary to, use any part
of such proceeds to purchase or carry, or to reduce or retire or refinance any
credit incurred to purchase or carry, any margin stock (within the meaning of
Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System), other than share repurchases (so long as such margin stock is cancelled
immediately upon any such share repurchase) or to extend credit to others for
the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock. Neither the
Borrower nor the Parent shall (and the Borrower and the Parent shall procure
that no other Subsidiary of the Parent or its or their respective directors,

the extent that the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect, the Parent and the Borrower shall not cause or
allow, and shall take commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any other Loan
Party, each Subsidiary or tenant from causing or allowing a third party to
cause, any release or spill or Hazardous Materials at, on or from the Properties

Parent and the Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party and each
Subsidiary of the Parent to, promptly take all actions to remove and dispose of
all Hazardous Materials from the Properties and to clean up the Properties as
required under Environmental Laws, except where the failure to take such actions
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Parent and
the Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party and each Subsidiary of
the Parent to, promptly take all actions necessary to prevent the imposition of

(a)    (x) Within fifteen (15) Business Days of any Person becoming a Subsidiary
of the Parent owning a direct or indirect interest in the Borrower after the
Agreement Date, or (y) substantially concurrently with any Subsidiary of the
Parent (other than the Borrower) entering into any Guarantee of Indebtedness of
any Loan Party (other than Indebtedness described on Schedule 8.14 on the

Effective Date or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(b)    The Borrower may request in writing that the Administrative Agent
release, and upon receipt of such request the Administrative Agent shall
release, a Subsidiary Guarantor from the Guaranty so long as: (i) such
Subsidiary Guarantor is not otherwise required to be a party to the Guaranty
under the immediately preceding subsection (a) (after giving effect to clause
(ii) hereof); (ii) such Subsidiary Guarantor no longer Guarantees (or which

transactions among the Parent and any of its Subsidiaries not prohibited by the
Loan Documents, (d) Investments permitted under Section 10.8, (e) Restricted
Payments permitted under Section 10.11, (f) the provision of services under any

of any assets subject thereto) do not exceed $20,000,000 in any fiscal quarter.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payments may be made pursuant to any

resulting from the Borrower’s failure to pay when due the principal of, or
interest on, any of the Loans or any Fees or Section 11.1(e) or (f), in each

aggregate amount not to exceed the amount required to be distributed for the
Parent to (x) remain in compliance with Section 8.12 and (y) avoid the payment
of U.S. federal or state income or excise tax. Subsidiaries other than the
Borrower may, at any time, make Restricted Payments (x) to the Borrower and

100

the other Subsidiaries that are Guarantors or (y) to Subsidiaries that are not
Guarantors, so long as such Restricted Payments are substantially concurrently
distributed, directly or indirectly, to the Borrower or any Subsidiary
Guarantor.

Value is attributable shall: (i) commence a voluntary case under the Bankruptcy

office who were either directors at the beginning of such period or whose
election or nomination for election was previously so approved but excluding any
director whose initial nomination for, or assumption of office as, a director
occurs as a result of an actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or
consents for the election or removal of one or more directors by any person or
group other than a solicitation for the election of one or more directors by or
on behalf of the Board of Directors) cease for any reason to constitute a
majority of the Board of Directors of the Parent then in office;

103

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

(iii)    The Parent shall cease to own and control, directly or indirectly, at
least 50% of the outstanding Equity Interests of the Borrower; or

of which are expressly waived by the Parent and the Borrower, each on behalf of
itself and the other Loan Parties, and (2) the Commitments and the Swingline
Commitment and the obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit
hereunder, shall all immediately and automatically terminate.
(ii)    Optional. If any other Event of Default shall exist, the Administrative
Agent may, and at the direction of the Requisite Lenders shall: (1) declare (A)
the principal of, and accrued interest on, the Loans and the Notes at the time

Section 11.3.    [Intentionally Omitted].

104

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

No Lender Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of
any Loan Party or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the
Guaranteed Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or
payments to a Lender Party, or a Lender Party enforces its security interest (if
any) or exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the
proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or
required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any
bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the
extent of such recovery, the Guaranteed Obligations, or part thereof originally
intended to be satisfied, and all Liens (if any), rights and remedies therefor,
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had
not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
Section 11.5.    Allocation of Proceeds.
If an Event of Default exists, all payments received by the Administrative Agent
(or any Lender as a result of its exercise of remedies permitted under Section
13.3) under any of the Loan Documents in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations
shall be applied in the following order and priority:
(a)    to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting
fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees, payable
under the Loan Documents to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such,
the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such and the Swingline Lender in its
capacity as such, ratably among the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and
Swingline Lender in proportion to the respective amounts described in this
clause (a) payable to them;
(b)    to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting
fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable
to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including attorney fees to the extent
payable under the Loan Documents, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the
respective amounts described in this clause (b) payable to them;
(c)    to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting
accrued and unpaid interest on the Swingline Loans;
(d)    to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting
accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, ratably
among the Lenders and the Issuing Bank in proportion to the respective amounts
described in this clause (d) payable to them;
(e)    to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting
unpaid principal of the Swingline Loans;
(f)    to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting
unpaid principal of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, other Letter of Credit
Liabilities and payment obligations then owing under Specified Derivatives
Contracts ratably among the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Specified
Derivatives Providers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this
clause (f) payable to them; provided, however, to the extent that any amounts
available for distribution pursuant to this clause are attributable to the
issued but undrawn amount of an outstanding Letter of Credit, such amounts shall
be paid to the Administrative Agent for deposit into the Letter of Credit
Collateral Account; and
(g)    the balance, if any, after all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than
any contingent obligation for which no claim has been made) have been paid in
full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Applicable Law.

105

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guaranteed Obligations arising under Specified
Derivatives Contracts shall be excluded from the application described above if
the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with
such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the
applicable Specified Derivatives Provider. Each Specified Derivatives Provider
not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the
preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and
accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of
Article XII. for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.
Section 11.6.    Letter of Credit Collateral Account.
(a)    As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all
Letter of Credit Liabilities and the other Obligations, the Borrower hereby
pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders as provided herein, a
security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Letter
of Credit Collateral Account and the balances from time to time in the Letter of
Credit Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein
provided for below). The balances from time to time in the Letter of Credit
Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter of Credit
Liabilities until applied by the Issuing Bank as provided herein. Anything in
this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Letter of
Credit Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided in
this Section.
(b)    Amounts on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be
invested and reinvested by the Administrative Agent in such Cash Equivalents as
the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. All such
investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under the sole
dominion and control of the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders; provided, that all
earnings on such investments will be credited to and retained in the Letter of
Credit Collateral Account. The Administrative Agent shall exercise reasonable
care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Letter of Credit
Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds
are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Administrative
Agent accords other funds deposited with the Administrative Agent, it being
understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for
taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect
to any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.
(c)    If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the
expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower and the Lenders authorize
the Administrative Agent to use the monies deposited in the Letter of Credit
Collateral Account to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the payment made by the
Issuing Bank to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing.
(d)    If an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent may (and, if
instructed by the Requisite Lenders, shall) in its (or their) discretion at any
time and from time to time elect to liquidate any such investments and
reinvestments and apply the proceeds thereof to the Obligations in accordance
with Section 11.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall
not be required to liquidate and release any such amounts if such liquidation or
release would result in the amount available in the Letter of Credit Collateral
Account to be less than the Stated Amount of all Extended Letters of Credit that
remain outstanding.
(e)    So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent
amounts on deposit in or credited to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account
exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then due and
owing, the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the
Borrower, deliver to the Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after the
Administrative Agent’s receipt of

106

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

such request from the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse,
warranty or representation whatsoever, such amount of the credit balances in the
Letter of Credit Collateral Account as exceeds the aggregate amount of Letter of
Credit Liabilities at such time. Upon the expiration, termination or
cancellation of an Extended Letter of Credit for which the Lenders reimbursed
(or funded participations in) a drawing deemed to have occurred under the fourth
sentence of Section 2.4(b) for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral
Account but in respect of which the Lenders have not otherwise received payment
for the amount so reimbursed or funded, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
remit to the Lenders the amount so reimbursed or funded for such Extended Letter
of Credit that remains in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, pro rata in
accordance with the respective unpaid reimbursements or funded participations of
the Lenders in respect of such Extended Letter of Credit, against receipt but
without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever. When all of the
Obligations shall have been paid in full and no Letters of Credit remain
outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, against
receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the
balances remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.
(f)    The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent from time to time such
fees as the Administrative Agent normally charges for similar services in
connection with the Administrative Agent’s administration of the Letter of
Credit Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein.
Section 11.7.    Rescission of Acceleration by Requisite Lenders.
If at any time after acceleration of the maturity of the Loans and the other
Obligations, the Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on
account of principal of the Obligations which shall have become due otherwise
than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement)
and all Events of Default and Defaults (other than nonpayment of principal of
and accrued interest on the Obligations due and payable solely by virtue of
acceleration) shall become remedied or waived to the satisfaction of the
Requisite Lenders, then by written notice to the Borrower, the Requisite Lenders
may elect, in the sole discretion of such Requisite Lenders, to rescind and
annul the acceleration and its consequences. The provisions of the preceding
sentence are intended merely to bind all of the Lenders to a decision which may
be made at the election of the Requisite Lenders, and are not intended to
benefit the Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the
Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions
set forth herein are satisfied.
Section 11.8.    Performance by Administrative Agent.
If the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall fail to perform any
covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the
Administrative Agent may, after notice to the Parent or the Borrower, perform or
attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Parent, the
Borrower or such other Loan Party after the expiration of any cure or grace
periods set forth herein. In such event, the Parent or the Borrower shall, at
the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably
expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted
performance to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the
applicable rate or Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until
paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any
Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance
of any obligation of the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document.
Section 11.9.    Rights Cumulative.
(a)    Generally. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders under this Agreement and each of the other Loan
Documents and of the Specified Derivatives

107

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

Providers under the Specified Derivatives Contracts, shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under
Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders and the Specified
Derivatives Providers may be selective and no failure or delay by any such
Lender Party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or
further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.
(b)    Enforcement by Administrative Agent. 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 Loan Parties 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
Article XI. for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Bank; provided
that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) 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, (ii) the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender from exercising
the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as the
Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents, (iii) any Specified Derivatives Provider from exercising
the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit under any Specified
Derivatives Contract, (iv) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in
accordance with Section 13.3 (subject to the terms of Section 3.3), or (v) any
Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own
behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party 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 (x) the Requisite Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Article XI and (y) in addition to the matters
set forth in clauses (ii), (iv) and (v) of the preceding proviso and subject to
Section 3.3, any Lender may, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, enforce
any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Requisite
Lenders.
ARTICLE XII.    THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 12.1.    Appointment and Authorization.
Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent
to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to
exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are
specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and
thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in
limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the
Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the
Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein,
any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders
of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of
the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent
a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent
duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”,
“Administrative Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents 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, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom,
and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between
independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each
Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of
each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents
delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article

108

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

IX. that the Parent or the Borrower is not otherwise required to deliver
directly to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender,
upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of
any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the
Administrative Agent by the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any
other Affiliate of the Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document not already delivered or otherwise made available to such Lender
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to
any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without
limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take
any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be
fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of
the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any
other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon
all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative
Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative
Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have
under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default
unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise.
Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action
whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative
Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or
where applicable, all the Lenders. The Lenders hereby authorize the
Administrative Agent, to release any Guarantor from its Guaranty (i) in the case
of a Subsidiary Guarantor, upon satisfaction of the conditions to release set
forth in Section 8.14(b); (ii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by
the Requisite Lenders or all of the Lenders hereunder, as the required under the
circumstances; or (iii) on the Termination Date. In connection with any such
release of a Guarantor pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrative
Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender to) execute and
deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such
Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release (any
execution and delivery of such documents being without recourse to or warranty
by the Administrative Agent).
Section 12.2.    Wells Fargo as Lender.
Wells Fargo, as a Lender or as a Specified Derivatives Provider, as the case may
be, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other
Loan Document and under any Specified Derivatives Contract, as the case may be,
as any other Lender or Specified Derivatives Provider and may exercise the same
as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or
“Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Wells Fargo in
each case in its individual capacity. Wells Fargo and its Affiliates may each
accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend
money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and
generally engage in any kind of business with the Parent, the Borrower, any
other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and
without any duty to account therefor to the Issuing Bank, other Lenders, or any
other Specified Derivatives Providers. Further, the Administrative Agent and any
Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services
in connection with this Agreement or any Specified Derivatives Contract, or
otherwise without having to account for the same to the Issuing Bank, the other
Lenders or any other Specified Derivatives Providers. The Issuing Bank and the
Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wells Fargo or its
Affiliates may receive information regarding the Parent, the Borrower, other
Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries of the Parent and other Affiliates (including
information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such
Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no
obligation to provide such information to them.

109

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

Section 12.3.    Approvals of Lenders.
All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such
Lender’s determination, consent or approval (a) shall be given in the form of a
written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the
matter or issue as to which such determination, consent or approval is
requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such
matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or
issue to be resolved and (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such
Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written
materials provided to the Administrative Agent by the Parent or the Borrower in
respect of the matter or issue to be resolved. Unless a Lender shall give
written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the
requested determination, consent or approval (together with a reasonable written
explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within ten (10) Business Days
(or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the
express terms of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication, such
Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such.
Section 12.4.    Notice of Events of Default.
The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has
received notice from a Lender, the Parent or the Borrower referring to this
Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of
Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender
(excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes
aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the
Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”; provided, a Lender’s failure to
provide such a “notice of default” to the Administrative Agent shall not result
in any liability of such Lender to any other party to any of the Loan Documents.
Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the
Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.
Section 12.5.    Administrative Agent’s Reliance.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall
be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set
forth herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including its own
counsel or counsel for the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party),
independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in
accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties: (a) makes any warranty or
representation to any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other Person, or shall be
responsible to any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other Person for any
statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by the Parent, the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to
inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of
any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part
of the Parent, the Borrower or other Persons, or to inspect the property, books
or records of the Parent, the Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be
responsible to any Lender or the Issuing Bank for the due execution, legality,
validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant
thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any
Lien in favor

110

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

of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders Parties in any such
collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements,
certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan
Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement
delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in
respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice,
consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone,
telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or
given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any
of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or
attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct
of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such agent or
attorney-in-fact as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final
non-appealable judgment.
Section 12.6.    Indemnification of Administrative Agent.
Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower
to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share
(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity
payment is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its
capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or
arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or
thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the
Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that
no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the
extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final,
non-appealable judgment; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance
with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if
expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or
willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to
the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of
the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out of
pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of one law firm
acting as outside counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers (taken
as a whole), with exception, in consultation with the Borrower, in the case of
conflicts of interest) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with
the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether
through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with
respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan
Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the
terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender
liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the
Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or
the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out of pocket expenses
(including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the
Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the
Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt
of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will
reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to
indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the
Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents
and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the
Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any
Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount
pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such
reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

111

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

Section 12.7.    Lender Credit Decision, Etc.
Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges and agrees that
neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties has made any
representations or warranties to the Issuing Bank or such Lender and that no act
by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs
of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or
Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by
the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank or any Lender. Each of the Lenders
and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their
respective Related Parties, and based on the financial statements of the Parent,
the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries of the Parent and
other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence
of the business and affairs of the Parent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties,
the other Subsidiaries of the Parent and other Persons, its review of the Loan
Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the
advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges
that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent,
any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their
respective Related Parties, and based on such review, advice, documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. The
Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the
performance or observance by the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party of
the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or
to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the
Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary. Except for
notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be
furnished to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent under
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent
shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or the Issuing Bank
with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations,
property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Parent, the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come
into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties. Each
of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s
legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as
counsel to any Lender or the Issuing Bank.
Section 12.8.    Successor Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under
the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the
Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right
to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no
Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor
Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the
immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within
thirty (30) days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of
resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders
and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a
Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an
Eligible Assignee; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower and the Lenders that no Lender has accepted such appointment, then such
resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice
and (1) the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments,
communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the
Administrative Agent shall instead be made to each Lender and the Issuing

112

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

Bank directly, until such time as a successor Administrative Agent has been
appointed as provided for above in this Section; provided, further that such
Lenders and the Issuing Bank so acting directly shall be and be deemed to be
protected by all indemnities and other provisions herein for the benefit and
protection of the Administrative Agent as if each such Lender or Issuing Bank
were itself the Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such
successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with
all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative
Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations under the Loan Documents. Any resignation by an Administrative
Agent shall also constitute the resignation as the Issuing Bank and as the
Swingline Lender by the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent (the
“Resigning Lender”). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder (i) the Resigning Lender shall be discharged from
all duties and obligations of the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) the successor Issuing Bank
shall issue letters of credit in substitution for all Letters of Credit issued
by the Resigning Lender as Issuing Bank outstanding at the time of such
succession (which letters of credit issued in substitutions shall be deemed to
be Letters of Credit issued hereunder) or make other arrangements satisfactory
to the Resigning Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the Resigning
Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit. After any Administrative Agent’s
resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article
XII. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative
Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its
Affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.
Section 12.9.    Titled Persons.
Each of the Arrangers, the additional Joint Lead Arrangers, Syndication Agent
and Co-Documentation Agents (each a “Titled Person”) in each such respective
capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without
limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor
any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles given to the Titled
Persons are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part
of the Titled Persons to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Bank,
the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does
not impose on the Titled Persons any duties or obligations greater than those of
any other Lender or entitle the Titled Persons to any rights other than those to
which any other Lender is entitled.
Section 12.10.    Specified Derivatives Contracts.
No Specified Derivatives Provider that obtains the benefits of Section 11.5 by
virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Loan Document shall have any right to
notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder
or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of any Loan Document
other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent
expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Article to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to
verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made
with respect to Specified Derivatives Contracts unless the Administrative Agent
has received written notice of such Specified Derivatives Contracts, together
with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from
the applicable Specified Derivatives Provider.

Bank or any Lender under Article II. shall be effective only when actually

incur any liability to any Loan Party (nor shall the Administrative Agent incur
any liability to the Issuing Bank or the Lenders) for acting upon any telephonic
notice referred to in this Agreement which the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, believes in good faith to have been
given by a Person authorized to deliver such notice or for otherwise acting in
good faith hereunder. Failure of a Person designated to get a copy of a notice
to receive such copy shall not affect the validity of notice properly given to
another Person.
Section 13.2.    Expenses.
The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of
its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of, and any

due diligence expenses), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees
and disbursements of one law firm acting as outside counsel to the
Administrative Agent and the Arrangers (taken as a whole), and, in the case of
an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional law firm acting as
outside counsel to all such conflicted parties and all reasonable and documented
costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the use of
IntraLinks, SyndTrak or other similar information transmission systems in
connection with the Loan Documents, (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders for all their reasonable and documented

subsections, to pay or reimburse the fees and disbursements of counsel to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and any Lender incurred in connection
with the representation of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such
Lender in any matter relating to or arising out of any bankruptcy or other
proceeding of the type described in Sections 11.1(e) or 11.1(f), including,

debtor in possession financing or any plan of reorganization of the Parent, the
Borrower or any other Loan Party, whether proposed by the Parent, the Borrower,
such Loan Party, the Lenders or any other Person, and whether such fees and
expenses are incurred prior to, during or after the commencement of such
proceeding or the confirmation or conclusion of any such proceeding. If the

Lender, each Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender, and each Participant, at any time or from time to time while an Event of
Default exists, without notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such
notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of the Issuing Bank, a
Lender, an Affiliate of the Issuing Bank or a Lender, or a Participant, subject
to receipt of the prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders exercised in
their sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all
deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness
evidenced

116

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

by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other
indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank, such Lender, any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
or such Lender, or such Participant, to or for the credit or the account of the
Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of
whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been
declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by
Section 11.2, and although such Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if 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 3.9 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, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders and (y) such 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.
Section 13.4.    Litigation; Jurisdiction; Other Matters; Waivers.
(g)    EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR
AMONG THE PARENT, THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK OR
ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND
FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK, THE PARENT AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO
A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT
OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO
ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY
OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARENT,
THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY OF THE LENDERS
OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.
(h)    THE PARENT, THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR
PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN
CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER,
THE ISSUING BANK, OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR
THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN
NEW YORK COUNTY, AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN
DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE
PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF
SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION
OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF
THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH
ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN
OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY
LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY
RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE ISSUING BANK MAY
OTHERWISE HAVE

117

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

TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT AGAINST THE PARENT, THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS
PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY
OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN
INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF
FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF
ANY ACTION BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER OR THE
ENFORCEMENT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER OF ANY
JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.
(i)    THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH
THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES
THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS
PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE TERMINATION OR
EXPIRATION OF ALL LETTERS OF CREDIT AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Section 13.5.    Successors and Assigns.
(c)    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 neither the
Parent, the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer
any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document
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 Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions
of the immediately following subsection (b), (ii) by way of participation in
accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (d) or
(iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the
restrictions of the immediately following subsection (e) (and, subject to the
last sentence of the immediately following subsection (b), any other attempted
assignment or transfer by any party hereto 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 the immediately
following subsection (d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the
Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(d)    Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
Eligible 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 an
assigning Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment and/or the Loans at the time
owing to it, or in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of
an assigning Term Loan Lender’s Term 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

118

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

(B)    in any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (A),
the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment (which for this purpose
includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Revolving
Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans
of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, and the principal
outstanding balance of the Term Loan subject to such assignment (in each case,
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 $5,000,000 in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Commitment and
$1,000,000 in the case of any assignment in respect of a Term Loan, unless each
of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall
exist, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed); provided, however, that if, after giving effect to such
assignment, the amount of the Commitment held by such assigning Lender or the
outstanding principal balance of the Loans of such assigning Lender, as
applicable, would be less than $5,000,000 in the case of a Commitment or
Revolving Loans or $1,000,000 in the case of a Term Loan, then such assigning
Lender shall assign the entire amount of its Commitment and the Loans at the
time owing to it.
(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 Type of Loan or the
Revolving Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to
rights in respect of a Bid Rate Loan.
(iii)    Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment
except to the extent required by clause (i)(B) of this subsection (b) and, in
addition:
(A)    the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event of Default shall
exist at the time of such assignment or (y) 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 assignment unless it shall object thereto
by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days
after having received notice thereof;
(B)    the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect
of (x) a Revolving Commitment or any unfunded Term Loan Commitments if such
assignment is to a Person that is not already a Lender with a Commitment, an
Affiliate of such a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such a Lender or
(y) a Term Loan to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund; and
(C)    the consent of the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender (any such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any
assignment in respect of a Revolving Commitment.
(iv)    Assignment and Acceptance; Notes. The parties to each assignment shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,500 for each assignment
(which fee the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to
waive), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. If requested by the
transferor Lender or the assignee, upon

119

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

the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes are
issued to the assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate.
(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 to any Person who, upon
becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons
described in this clause (B), or (C) to any Disqualified Institution.
(vi)    No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a
natural person.
(vii)    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, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each other
Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as
appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters
of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage.
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 the immediately following subsection (c), 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 5.4, 13.2 and 13.9 and the other
provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section
13.10 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective
date of such 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 having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a
Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with
this paragraph 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 the
immediately following subsection (d), other than any assignment to a
Disqualified Institution, which shall be void ab initio.
(e)    Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Principal Office a
copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered

120

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

to it 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.
(f)    Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, the Borrower, Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender,
sell participations to any Person (other than a Disqualified Institution, a
natural Person 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 Revolving 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, the Issuing Bank 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. 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 (w) increase such Lender’s Commitment, (x)
extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loans or portions
thereof owing to such Lender, (y) reduce the rate at which interest is payable
thereon or (z) release any Guarantor from its Obligations under the Guaranty
except as contemplated by Section 8.14(b), in each case, as applicable to that
portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations that are subject to the
participation. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 3.10, 5.1, 5.4 (subject to the requirements and
limitations therein, including the requirements under Sections 3.10(g) and 5.7
(it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.10(g) shall
be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of
this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the
provisions of Section 5.6 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 5.1 or 3.10, with respect to any participation, than its participating
Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such
entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Regulatory Change 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 5.6 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law,
each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.3 as
though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 3.3 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

121

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

Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no
responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(g)    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 to secure
obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; 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.
(h)    No Registration. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written
consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, it will not make any
assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require
registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note
under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of
America or of any other jurisdiction.
(i)    Designated Lenders. Any Lender (each, a “Designating Lender”) may at any
time while the Parent has been assigned an Investment Grade Rating from at least
two of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, designate one Designated Lender to fund Bid Rate
Loans on behalf of such Designating Lender subject to the terms of this
subsection, and the provisions in the immediately preceding subsections (b) and
(d) shall not apply to such designation. No Lender may designate more than one
Designated Lender. The parties to each such designation shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance a Designation Agreement.
Upon such receipt of an appropriately completed Designation Agreement executed
by a Designating Lender and a designee representing that it is a Designated
Lender, the Administrative Agent will accept such Designation Agreement and give
prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, whereupon (i) the Borrower shall execute
and deliver to the Designating Lender, to the extent requested by such
Designated Lender, a Bid Rate Note payable to the order of the Designated
Lender, (ii) from and after the effective date specified in the Designation
Agreement, the Designated Lender shall become a party to this Agreement with a
right to make Bid Rate Loans on behalf of its Designating Lender pursuant to
Section 2.3 after the Borrower has accepted a Bid Rate Loan (or portion thereof)
of the Designating Lender, and (iii) the Designated Lender shall not be required
to make payments with respect to any obligations in this Agreement except to the
extent of excess cash flow of such Designated Lender which is not otherwise
required to repay obligations of such Designated Lender which are then due and
payable; provided, however, that regardless of such designation and assumption
by the Designated Lender, the Designating Lender shall be and remain obligated
to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for each and every of
the obligations of the Designating Lender and its related Designated Lender with
respect to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any indemnification
obligations under Section 12.6 and any sums otherwise payable to the Borrower by
the Designated Lender. Each Designating Lender shall serve as the agent of the
Designated Lender and shall on behalf of, and to the exclusion of, the
Designated Lender: (i) receive any and all payments made for the benefit of the
Designated Lender and (ii) give and receive all communications and notices and
take all actions hereunder, including, without limitation, votes, approvals,
waivers, consents and amendments under or relating to this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. Any such notice, communication, vote, approval, waiver,
consent or amendment shall be signed by the Designating Lender as agent for the
Designated Lender and shall not be signed by the Designated Lender on its own
behalf and shall be binding on the Designated Lender to the same extent as if
signed by the Designated Lender on its own behalf. The Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may rely thereon without any requirement
that the Designated Lender sign or acknowledge the same. No Designated Lender
may assign or transfer all or any portion of its interest hereunder or under any
other Loan Document, other than assignments to the Designating Lender which
originally designated such Designated Lender. The Borrower, the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent each hereby agrees that it will not institute against any
Designated Lender or join any other Person in

122

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

instituting against any Designated Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any federal or state
bankruptcy or similar law, until the later to occur of (x) one year and one day
after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by
such Designated Lender and (y) the Revolving Termination Date. In connection
with any such designation, the Designating Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such designation in
the amount of $4,500.
(j)    USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance. In order for the Administrative Agent
to comply with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and
regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act, prior to any Lender
that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States
of America becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent may request, and
such Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax
identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be
necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with federal law.
Section 13.6.    Amendments and Waivers.

any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or any other
Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be given, (ii) any term of this

written consent of each Loan Party which is party thereto. Subject to the
immediately following subsection (b), (w) any term of this Agreement or of any

Lenders, and not any other Lenders, may be amended, and the performance or
observance by the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any other
Subsidiary of the Parent of any such terms may be waived (either generally or in

with, the written consent of the Requisite Revolving Lenders (and, in the case
of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party a
party thereto), (x) any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document
relating to the rights or obligations of the Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders,
and not any other Lenders, may be amended, and the performance or observance by
the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary of the
Parent of any such terms may be waived (either generally or in a particular
instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, and only with, the
written consent of the Requisite Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders (and, in the
case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan
Party a party thereto), (y) any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan
Document relating to the rights or obligations of the Multicurrency Tranche
Revolving Lenders, and not any other Lenders, may be amended, and the

Revolving Lenders (and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the
written consent of each Loan Party a party thereto), and (z) any term of this
Agreement or of any other Loan Document relating to the rights or obligations of
the Term Loan Lenders, and not any other Lenders, may be amended, and the
performance or observance by the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party or
any other Subsidiary of the Parent of any such terms may be waived (either
generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively)
with, but only with, the written consent of the Requisite Term Loan Lenders
(and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of
each Loan Party a party thereto).

123

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

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, the Fee
Letter may only be amended, and the performance or observance by any Loan Party
thereunder may only be waived, in a writing executed by the parties thereto.
(b)    Additional Lender Consents. In addition to the foregoing requirements, no
amendment, waiver or consent shall:
(i)    increase (or reinstate) the Commitments of a Lender or subject a Lender
to any additional obligations without the written consent of such Lender;
(ii)    reduce the principal of, or interest that has accrued or the rates of
interest that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, any Loans
or other Obligations without the written consent of each Lender directly
affected thereby; provided, however, only the written consent of the Requisite
Lenders shall be required for the waiver of interest payable at the Post-Default
Rate, retraction of the imposition of interest at the Post-Default Rate and
amendment of the definition of “Post-Default Rate”;
(iii)    reduce the amount of any Fees payable to a Lender without the written
consent of such Lender;

principal of, or interest on, any Revolving Loans or for the payment of Fees or
any other Obligations owing to the Revolving Lenders, or extend the expiration
date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Termination Date (except for
Extended Letters of Credit extended pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof), in each
case, without the written consent of each Revolving Lender directly affected
thereby;
(v)    modify the definition of “Term Loan Maturity Date” (except in accordance
with Section 2.14 or Section 13.6(c)), or otherwise postpone any date fixed for,

each case, without the written consent of each Term Loan Lender directly
affected thereby;
(vi)    amend, modify or waive (A) Section 6.2 or any other provision of this
Agreement if the effect of such amendment, modification or waiver is to require
the Revolving Lenders to make Revolving Loans when such Lenders would not
otherwise be required to do so, (B) the amount of the Swingline Commitment or
(C) the L/C Commitment Amount, in each case, without the prior written consent
of the Requisite Revolving Lenders;
(vii)    modify the definition of “Pro Rata Share” or amend or otherwise modify
the provisions of Section 3.2 without the written consent of each Lender

(ix)    modify the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” or modify in any
other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any

124

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

hereunder (including any provision of this Agreement that expressly requires the
consent of all Lenders or applicable Lenders) or to modify any provision hereof
without the written consent of each Lender;
(x)    modify (i) the definition of the term “Requisite Revolving Lenders” or
modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Revolving Lenders
required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify
any provision hereof without the written consent of each Revolving Lender, (ii)
the definition of the term “Requisite Dollar Tranche Revolving Lenders” or

Dollar Tranche Revolving Lender or (iii) the definition of the term “Requisite
Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Lenders” or modify in any other manner the
number or percentage of the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Lenders required to

hereof without the written consent of each Multicurrency Tranche Revolving
Lender;
(xi)    modify the definition of the term “Requisite Term Loan Lenders” or
modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Term Loan Lenders
required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify
any provision hereof without the written consent of each Term Loan Lender;
(xii)    release any Parent Guarantor, or all or substantially all other
Guarantors, from its or their respective obligations under the Guaranty (except
as contemplated by Section 8.14(b)) without the written consent of each Lender;
or
(xiii)    amend, or waive the Borrower’s compliance with, Section 2.16 without
the written consent of each Lender.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan
Document may be amended in connection with any transaction permitted by Section
2.17 or clause (c) below, subject to and in accordance with such Sections.
(c)    Permitted Additional Extension Amendments.
(viii)    Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this Agreement
may be amended (x) to add one or more additional revolving credit or term loan
facilities to this Agreement, in each case subject to the limitations in Section
2.17, and to permit the extensions of credit and all related obligations and
liabilities arising in connection therewith from time to time outstanding to
share ratably (or on a basis subordinated to the existing facilities hereunder)
in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the
obligations and liabilities from time to time outstanding in respect of the
existing facilities hereunder with the written consent solely of the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing such additional facilities,
and (y) in connection with the foregoing, to permit, as deemed appropriate by
the Administrative Agent and approved by such Lenders, the Lenders providing
such additional credit facilities to participate in any required vote or action
required to be approved by the Requisite Lenders or by any other number,
percentage or class of Lenders hereunder.
(ix)    In addition, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the
Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time
after the initial Revolving Termination Date and Term Loan Maturity Date, make
one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”)

125

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

to all the Lenders of one or more of the facilities hereunder (including any
revolving credit or term loan additional facilities added hereto pursuant to the
immediately preceding paragraph) (each facility subject to such a Loan
Modification Offer, an “Affected Facility”) to make one or more Permitted
Additional Extension Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by
the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, as the case
may be. Such notice shall set forth (x) the terms and conditions of the
requested Permitted Additional Extension Amendment and (y) the date on which
such Permitted Additional Extension Amendment is requested to become effective
(which shall not be less than ten (10) Business Days nor more than 30 Business
Days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the
Administrative Agent). Permitted Additional Extension Amendments shall become
effective (1) only with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments of the Lenders
of the Affected Facility that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer
(such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”), (2) only to the extent the Accepting
Lenders constitute at least a majority of the Lenders of the Affected Facility,
(3) in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s
Loans and Commitments of such Affected Facility as to which such Lender’s
acceptance has been made and (4) only if (A) all Accepting Lenders shall be
treated on a pro rata basis and (B) all non-Accepting Lenders shall be treated
on a pro rata basis. Upon the acceptance of a Loan Modification Offer by the
requisite Lenders, the applicable Loan Parties and each Accepting Lender shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such documentation (which may
include legal opinions, board resolutions and/or certificates consistent with
those delivered on the Effective Date) as the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Additional
Extension Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of such
Permitted Additional Extension Amendments. Each of the parties hereto hereby
agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Permitted Additional Extension
Amendments, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to
the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of such Permitted
Additional Extension Amendment and only with respect to the Loans and
Commitments of the Accepting Lenders of the Affected Facility. For avoidance of
doubt, notwithstanding a Permitted Additional Extension Amendment with Accepting
Lenders, non-Accepting Lenders rights, remedies and existing obligations will in
no way be deemed as modified or waived and are otherwise not effected by the
Permitted Additional Extension Amendment.
(d)    Replacement of Non-Consenting Lenders. If any Lender is a Non-Consenting
Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to
such Lender and the 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 13.5, other than the consent of
any Lender being so replaced), all of its interests, rights (other than its
existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.10 and 5.1) and obligations
under this Agreement and the other 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 (i) the Borrower shall have paid to the
Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 13.5(b)(iv); (ii)
such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the
outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Disbursements, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 5.4) 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); (iii) such assignment
does not conflict with Applicable Laws; and (iv) 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. Each
Lender agrees that, if the Borrower elects to replace such Lender in accordance
with this clause (d), it shall promptly execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and

126

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

Assumption to evidence the assignment and shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent any Note (if a Note has been issued in respect of such Lender’s Loans)
subject to such Assignment and Assumption; provided that the failure of any such
Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such assignment
invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.
(e)    Amendment of Administrative Agent’s Duties, Etc. No amendment, waiver or
consent unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in addition to
the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or
duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents. Any amendment, waiver or consent relating to Section 2.5 or the
obligations of the Swingline Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such
action, require the written consent of the Swingline Lender. Any amendment,
waiver or consent relating to Section 2.4 or the obligations of the Issuing Bank
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, in addition to the
Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the written consent of
the Issuing Bank. Any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any Loan
Document that (i) diminishes the rights of a Specified Derivatives Provider in a
manner or to an extent dissimilar to that affecting the Lenders or (ii)
increases the liabilities or obligations of a Specified Derivatives Provider
shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action,
require the consent of the Lender that is (or having an Affiliate that is) such
Specified Derivatives Provider. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any
amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent
which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender
may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting
Lenders), except that (x) the Commitments of any Defaulting Lender may not be
increased, reinstated or extended without the written consent of such Defaulting
Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of
all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting
Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the written
consent of such Defaulting Lender. No waiver shall extend to or affect any
obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any
amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the specific purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or
omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any
right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any
Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as
such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this
Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Parent, the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence
of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or
in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall
entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.
(f)    Technical Amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 13.6, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have jointly
identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this
Agreement or an inconsistency between provisions of this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision
or provisions to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency
so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interests of the Lenders and
the Issuing Bank. Any such amendment shall become effective without any further
action or consent of any of other party to this Agreement. The Borrower shall be
permitted, without consent of any other Person, to amend or update any Schedule
which the Borrower is otherwise expressly permitted or required hereunder to
independently amend or update.
Section 13.7.    Nonliability of Administrative Agent and Lenders.

127

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

The relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders, the
Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely
that of borrower and lender. None of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
or any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower and no
provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course
of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create
any fiduciary duty owing by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender to any Lender, the Parent, the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Parent or
any other Loan Party. None of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the
Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business
or operations.
Section 13.8.    Confidentiality.
The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender shall maintain the
confidentiality of all Information (as defined below) but in any event may make
disclosure: (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ other
respective Related Parties (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) subject
to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this
Section, to (i) any actual or proposed assignee, Participant or other transferee
in connection with a potential transfer of any Commitment or participation
therein as permitted hereunder (but, in each case, not to any Disqualified
Institutions), or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors)
to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its
obligations (but, in each case, not to any Disqualified Institutions); (c) as
required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or
pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings, or as
otherwise required by Applicable Law; (d) to the Administrative Agent’s, Issuing
Bank’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors
(provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information);
(e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document (or
any Specified Derivatives Contract) or any action or proceeding relating to any
Loan Document (or any Specified Derivatives Contract) or the enforcement of
rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) to the extent such Information (i) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section actually
known by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender to be a
breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis after due inquiry from a
source other than the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower; (g) to the
extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any nationally recognized
rating agency or regulatory or similar authority (including any self-regulatory
authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) having
or purporting to have jurisdiction over it; (h) to bank trade publications, such
information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in
such publications; (i) to any other party hereto; and (j) with the consent of
the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information,
without notice to the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, to
Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender or in accordance with the
regulatory compliance policy of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or
such Lender. As used in this Section, the term “Information” means all
information received from the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any
other Subsidiary or Affiliate relating to any Loan Party or any of their
respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis
prior to disclosure by the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other
Subsidiary of the Parent or any Affiliate, provided that, in the case of any
such information received from the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party,
any other Subsidiary of the Parent or any Affiliate 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

128

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

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.
Section 13.9.    Indemnification.
(c)    The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent
thereof), the Issuing Bank, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the
foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnified Party”)
against, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, and shall pay or
reimburse any such Indemnified Party for, any and all losses, claims (including
without limitation, Environmental Claims), damages, liabilities and related
expenses (including without limitation, the fees, charges and disbursements of
any counsel for any Indemnified Party (but limited, in the case of legal fees
and expenses, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements
and other charges of one counsel to all Indemnified Parties (taken as a whole)
and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for all Indemnified Parties
(taken as a whole) in each relevant jurisdiction and with respect to each
relevant specialty, and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of
interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected
Indemnified Parties similarly situated and taken as a whole)), incurred by any
Indemnified Party or asserted against any Indemnified Party by any Person
(including the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other
Subsidiary of the Parent) other than such Indemnified Party 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 performance by the parties hereto
or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan
or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom
(including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a
Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do
not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual
or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property
owned or operated by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary
of the Parent, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to the Borrower,
any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary of the Parent, (iv) any actual or
prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (an “Indemnity
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, any
other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary of the Parent, and regardless of
whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto or (v) any claim (including
without limitation, any Environmental Claims), investigation, litigation or
other proceeding (whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or
any Lender is a party thereto) and the prosecution and defense thereof, arising
out of or in any way connected with the Loans, this Agreement, any other Loan
Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the
transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation, reasonable
attorneys and consultant’s fees; provided, however, that such indemnity shall
not, as to any Indemnified Party, 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
(x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party as
determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction, (y) in connection with any claim initiated, or counter-claim
asserted, by the Borrower, a material breach of any express obligation of such
Indemnified Party under this Agreement as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or (z) any dispute solely among
Indemnified Parties, other than any claims against any Indemnified Party in its
respective capacity or in fulfilling its role as an Administrative Agent or
Arranger or any similar role hereunder, and other than any claims arising out of
any act or omission on the part of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan
Party or any other Subsidiary of the Parent; and provided further, that this
Section 13.9 shall not apply with respect to Taxes, other than any Taxes arising
from any non-Tax claim.

129

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

(d)    If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this
Section are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the
maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which
is permissible under Applicable Law.
(e)    The Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive any
termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment in
full in cash of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution
of, any of the other obligations set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document to which it is a party.
References in this Section 13.9 to “Lender” or “Lenders” shall be deemed to
include such Persons (and their Affiliates) in their capacity as Specified
Derivatives Providers.
Section 13.10.    Termination; Survival.
This Agreement shall terminate at such time as (a) all of the Commitments have
been terminated, (b) all Letters of Credit have terminated or expired or been
canceled (other than Extended Letters of Credit in respect of which the Borrower
has satisfied the requirements to provide Cash Collateral as required in Section
2.4(b)), (c) none of the Lenders is obligated any longer under this Agreement to
make any Loans and the Issuing Bank is no longer obligated under this Agreement
to issue Letters of Credit and (d) all Obligations (other than obligations which
survive as provided in the following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in
full. The indemnities to which the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and
the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of Sections 3.10, 5.1, 5.4, 12.6,
13.2 and 13.9 and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and the provisions of Section 13.4, shall continue in full force and
effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other
Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before
and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this
Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the
date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement.
Section 13.11.    Severability of Provisions.
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable,
that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents, and the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall remain
in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had
never been part of the Loan Documents.
Section 13.12.    GOVERNING LAW.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY
PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.
Section 13.13.    Counterparts.
To facilitate execution, this Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or
supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts as may be convenient
or required (which may be effectively delivered by facsimile, in portable
document format (“PDF”) or other similar electronic means). It shall not be
necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the
signature of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart.
All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single document.

130

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

It shall not be necessary in making proof of this document to produce or account
for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or
on behalf of, each of the parties hereto.
Section 13.14.    No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship.
In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby
(including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof
or of any other Loan Document), each of the Parent and the Borrower acknowledges
and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i)(A) the
arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by Administrative
Agent and Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Parent,
the Borrower each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one
hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, on the other hand, (B)
each of the Parent, the Borrower, and the other Loan Parties has consulted its
own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed
appropriate, and (C) the Parent, the Borrower and each other Loan Party is
capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and
conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan
Documents; (ii)(A) the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Issuing Bank and
each Arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as
expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and
will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Parent, the
Borrower, any other Loan Party, or any of their respective Affiliates, or any
other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing
Bank nor any Arranger has any obligation to the Parent, the Borrower, any other
Loan Party, or any of their respective 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, each
Lender, the Issuing Bank and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates may
be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ
from those of the Parent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, and their
respective Affiliates, and neither Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing
Bank nor any Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to
the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party, or any of their respective
Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each of the
Parent, the Borrower, and the other Loan Parties hereby waives and releases any
claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the
Issuing Bank and each Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of
agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction
contemplated hereby.
Section 13.15.    Obligations with Respect to Loan Parties and Subsidiaries.
The obligations of the Parent or the Borrower to direct or prohibit the taking
of certain actions by the other Loan Parties and Subsidiaries as specified
herein shall be absolute and not subject to any defense the Parent or the
Borrower may have that the Parent or the Borrower does not control such Loan
Parties or Subsidiaries.
Section 13.16.    Independence of Covenants.
All covenants hereunder shall be given in any jurisdiction independent effect so
that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such
covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be
otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or
condition exists.
Section 13.17.    Limitation of Liability.
Except, in the case of the Loan Parties, to the extent otherwise subject to
indemnification pursuant to Section 13.9, no party hereto or any of their
respective Related Parties (including any Indemnified Party) shall have any
liability with respect to, and each party hereto hereby waives, releases, and
agrees not to sue

131

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

any other party hereto or any of their respective Related Parties (including any
Indemnified Party) upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental,
consequential or punitive damages suffered or incurred by such party in
connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, any
of the other Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. No Indemnitee referred to in
Section 13.9(a) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by
unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it
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, except for any damages arising from
such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined
by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 13.18.    Entire Agreement.
This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents embody the final, entire
agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments,
agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral,
relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted or
varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or
discussions of the parties hereto. To the extent any term of this Agreement is
inconsistent with a term of any other Loan Document to which the parties of this
Agreement are party, the term of this Agreement shall control to the extent of
such inconsistency. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto.
Section 13.19.    Construction.
The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Borrower and each Lender
acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own
choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Borrower and each Lender.
