(an “Auction Notice”). Each Auction Notice shall contain (i) the total cash

(i.e., a 5% to 10% Discount Range would represent $50,000 to $100,000 per
$1,000,000 principal amount of Loans, with a 10% discount being deemed a
“higher” discount than 5% for purposes of an Auction) at issue that represents
the discounts applied to calculate the range of purchase prices that the Auction
Party would be willing to accept in the Auction; provided that the Discount
Range may, at the option of the Auction Party, be a single percentage, (iii) the
date on which the Auction will conclude, on which date Return Bids will be due
at the time provided in the Auction Notice (such time, the “Auction Expiration
Time”), as such date and time may be extended upon notice by the Auction Party
to the auction manager before any prior Auction Expiration Time, and (iv) the
identity of the auction manager, and shall indicate if such auction manager is
an Affiliate of the Borrower. Each offer to purchase Loans of any Class in an
Auction shall be offered on a pro rata basis to all the Eligible Auction
Lenders.

(B) Reply Procedures. In connection with any Auction, each Eligible Auction
Lender may, in its sole discretion, participate in such Auction and, if it
elects to do so (any such participating Eligible Auction Lender, a
“Participating Lender”), shall provide, prior to the Auction Expiration Time,
the auction manager with a notice of participation (the “Return Bid”) which
shall be in a form and substance prepared by the auction manager and shall
specify (i) a discount to par that must be expressed as a percentage of par
principal amount of Loans expressed in percentages (the “Reply Discount”), which
must be within the Discount Range, and (ii) a principal amount of Loans, which
must be in increments of $500,000, that such Eligible Auction Lender is willing
to offer for sale at its Reply Discount (the “Reply Amount”). An Eligible
Auction Lender may avoid the minimum increment amount condition solely when
submitting a Reply Amount equal to such Eligible Auction Lender’s entire
remaining amount of such Loans. Eligible Auction Lenders may only submit one
Return Bid per Auction but each Return Bid may contain up to three bids, only
one of which can result in a Qualifying Bid (as defined below). In addition to
the Return Bid, each Participating Lender must execute and deliver, to be
irrevocable during the pendency of the Auction and held in escrow by the auction
manager, an assignment agreement pursuant to which such Participating Lender
shall make the representations and agreements substantially consistent with the
terms of Section 2.05(a)(iii)(C). Any Eligible Auction Lender that fails to
submit a Return Bid at or prior to the Auction Expiration Time shall be deemed
to have declined to participate in the Auction.

 

14

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

(C) Acceptance Procedures. Based on the Reply Discounts and Reply Amounts
received by the auction manager, the auction manager, with the consent of the
Auction Party, will, within ten (10) Business Days of the Auction Expiration
Time (or such other time agreed by the Borrower), determine the applicable
discount (the “Applicable Discount”) for the Auction, which will be the highest
Reply Discount at which the Auction Party can complete the Auction at the
Auction Amount; provided that, in the event that the Reply Amounts are
insufficient to allow the Auction Party to complete a purchase of the entire
Auction Amount, the Auction Party shall, at its election, either (i) withdraw
the Auction or (ii) complete the Auction as set forth below. Unless withdrawn,
the Auction Party shall notify the Participating Lenders of the Applicable
Discount no later than one (1) Business Day after it is determined (the
“Applicable Discount Notice”). The Auction Party shall, within three
(3) Business Days of the Applicable Discount Notice, purchase Loans from each
Participating Lender with a Reply Discount that is equal to or higher than the
Applicable Discount (“Qualifying Bids”) at a discount to par equal to the Reply
Discount of such Participating Lender, with the applicable Loans of the
Participating Lender(s) with the highest Reply Discount being purchased first
and then in descending order from such highest Reply Discount to and including
the applicable Loans of the Participating Lenders with a Reply Discount equal to
the Applicable Discount (the “Applicable Order of Purchase”); provided that if
the aggregate proceeds required to purchase all Loans subject to Qualifying Bids
would exceed the Auction Amount for such Auction, the Auction Party shall
purchase such Loans of the Participating Lenders in the Applicable Order of
Purchase, but with the Loans of Participating Lenders with Reply Discounts equal
to the Applicable Discount being purchased pro rata until the Auction Amount has
been so expended on such purchases. If a Participating Lender has submitted a
Return Bid containing multiple bids at different Reply Discounts, only the bid
with the highest Reply Discount that is equal to or more than the Applicable
Discount will be deemed the Qualifying Bid of such Participating Lender. In no
event shall any purchase of Loans in an Auction be made at a Reply Discount
lower than the Applicable Discount for such Auction.

(D) Additional Procedures. Once initiated by an Auction Notice, the Auction
Party may withdraw or modify an Auction only prior to the delivery of the
Applicable Discount Notice (and if any Auction is withdrawn or modified, notice
thereof shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Eligible Auction
Lenders no later than the first Business Day after such withdrawal).
Furthermore, in connection with any Auction, upon submission by a Participating
Lender of a Qualifying Bid, such Lender will be obligated to sell the entirety
or its allocable portion of the Reply Amount, as the case may be, at the
Applicable Discount.

(E) Any failure by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary to make any prepayment to
a Lender, pursuant to this definition shall not constitute a Default or Event of
Default under Section 8.01 or otherwise.

(F) The Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation regarding any
auction or related procedures, including without limitation no duty or
obligations to act as auction manager.

ARTICLE II

THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

Section 2.01 The Loans. In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, and
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender shall be
deemed to make a term loan (the “Initial Loans”) to the Borrower on the Closing
Date in an aggregate principal amount as set forth opposite such Lender’s name
on Schedule 2.01; provided that, with respect to Lender Claimants set forth on
Schedule 2.01, Initial Loans in an aggregate principal amount set forth on such
Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed issued and outstanding for the benefit of such
Lender Claimants on the Closing Date and held in the Lender Claimant Reserve
Account to be administered in accordance with Section 2.15. The Initial Loans
shall be treated as a single Class of Loans for all purposes of this Agreement
and any other Loan Documents. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01 and
repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. For the avoidance of doubt,
notwithstanding that no cash is exchanged, the Borrower shall owe the aggregate
principal amount of the Initial Loans to the Lenders under, and in accordance
with the terms of, this Agreement. The Initial Loans shall be denominated in
Dollars and shall bear interest in accordance with Section 2.08.

Section 2.02 Borrowings.

(a) Each Borrowing, other than the Initial Loans, shall be made upon the
Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which shall be given
by a Committed Loan Notice. Each such Committed Loan Notice must be received by
the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. one Business Day prior to the
requested date of any Borrowing. Each Committed Loan Notice shall specify
(i) the requested date of the Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), and
(ii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed.

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the
applicable Class of Loans. In the case of a Borrowing (other than the initial
Credit Extension), each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan
available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the
Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day
specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the
applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 the Administrative Agent shall
make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received
by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of such funds in accordance with
instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

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

43

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

(a) Optional.

(i) Borrower may, upon notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, at
any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay any Class or Classes of Loans
in whole or in part without premium or penalty (except as set forth in
Section 2.05(a)(ii)); provided that (i) such notice must be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. one Business Day prior to any
date of prepayment of Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof
or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such
notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) of
Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each
Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such
Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment. The Borrower shall make such
prepayment and the prepayment amount specified in such notice shall be due and
payable on the date specified therein, provided, however, that notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any such prepayment notice may be
conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the closing of
one or more securities offerings or other transactions; provided, further, that,
the Borrower must affirmatively rescind any such prepayment notice by a
subsequent written notice to the Administrative Agent, if the condition in an
original prepayment notice shall fail to be satisfied by the proposed effective
date of such prepayment, and upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such
rescinding notice, shall have no obligation to make any prepayment in respect of
such earlier prepayment notice. Any prepayment of Loans shall be accompanied by
all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and any other amounts due under the
Loan Documents.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
(x) in the event of each prepayment, repayment or redemption of any Initial
Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i) and Section 2.05(b)(iii), as applicable,
such prepayment, repayment or redemption shall be accompanied by, and there
shall become due and payable automatically upon such event, an early prepayment
premium payable in cash on the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or redeemed,
in an amount equal to the Prepayment Premium, calculated on the aggregate
principal amount of the Initial Loans so prepaid, repaid or redeemed, together
with all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount being prepaid, repaid or
redeemed and (y) each repayment of, redemption or distribution in respect of,
the principal amount of the Initial Loans after acceleration thereof pursuant to
Section 8.02 (including automatically as a result of a proceeding under any
Debtor Relief Law), shall be accompanied by, and there shall become due and
payable automatically upon acceleration, a payment premium payable in cash on
the principal amount so repaid, redeemed or distributed or on the principal
amount that has become or is declared accelerated pursuant to Section 8.02
(including automatically as a result of an insolvency proceeding), in an amount
equal to the Prepayment Premium, calculated on the aggregate principal amount of
the Initial Loans so repaid, redeemed, distributed or accelerated, together with
all accrued and unpaid interest on such Initial Loans.

(iii) Dutch Auctions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Borrower (in such case, the foregoing being herein referred to as the
“Auction Party”) may repurchase outstanding Loans of any Class on the following
basis; provided that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would
result therefrom at the time the Auction Notice is distributed:

 

44

“Subject Loans”) pursuant to a Dutch Auction (or such other modified Dutch
auction conducted pursuant to similar procedures as the Borrower and
Administrative Agent may otherwise agree);

(B) Following repurchase by Auction Party pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(iii),
the Loans so repurchased shall, without further action by any Person, be deemed
cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by
Auction Party), for all purposes of this Agreement and the principal amount of
the Loans so repurchased shall reduce the aggregate principal amount of such
Loans by the full par value of the Loans so repurchased. In connection with any
Loans repurchased and cancelled pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(iii), the
Auction Party shall notify the Administrative Agent of the cancellation and the
Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register
to reflect any such cancellation. Any payment made by Auction Party in
connection with a repurchase permitted by this Section 2.05(a)(iii) shall not be
subject to any of the pro rata payment or sharing requirements of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents to the contrary, failure by Auction Party to make any payment to a
Lender required by an agreement permitted by this Section 2.05(a)(iii) shall not
constitute a Default or an Event of Default; and

(C) Each Lender that sells its Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(iii)
acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Auction Party may have, or may later come
into possession of additional information regarding the Loans or the Loan
Parties at any time after a repurchase has been consummated pursuant to an
Auction hereunder, that may be information that would have been material to such
Lender’s decision to enter into an assignment of such Loans hereunder (“Excluded
Information”), (ii) such Lender will independently make its own analysis and
determination to enter into an assignment of its Loans and to consummate the
transactions contemplated by an Auction notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of
knowledge of Excluded Information and (iii) none of the Loan Parties, the
Sponsors or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person shall have
any liability to such Lender with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded
Information. Each Lender that tenders Loans pursuant to an Auction agrees to the
foregoing provisions of this clause (C). The Administrative Agent and the
Lenders hereby consent to the Auctions and the other transactions contemplated
by this Section 2.05(a)(iii) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision
of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any pro rata payment
requirements) (it being understood and acknowledged that purchases of the Loans
by Auction Party contemplated by this Section 2.05(a)(iii) shall not constitute
Investments by Auction Party) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise
prohibit any Auction or any other transaction contemplated by this
Section 2.05(a)(iii).

the Lenders provided for in Section 2.05(b)(i)(C) but in any event within 30
days following any Change of Control, the Borrower shall:

lender and/or noteholder who has accepted such offer; or

Borrower has elected to prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(a)(i),

right to require Borrower to repay such Lender’s Loans in an amount equal to
101% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest to the repayment date;

 

46

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

Control Offer will be required to notify the Administrative Agent prior to the

Change of Control Payment Date, e-mail or letter setting forth the name of such
Lender, the principal amount of Loans to be repaid, and a statement that such
Lender is withdrawing its election to have such Loans repaid; and

(6) provide the other instructions determined by Borrower that a Lender must
follow in order to have its Loans repaid.

The notice, if delivered in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively
presumed to have been given, whether or not the Lender receives such notice, if
(1) the notice is delivered in a manner herein provided and (2) any Lender fails
to receive such notice or a Lender receives such notice but it is defective,
such Lender’s failure to receive such notice or such defect shall not affect the
validity of the proceedings for the repayment of the Loans as to all other
Lenders that properly received such notice without defect.

Loans or portions of Loans properly elected to be repaid and not withdrawn

constitute Indebtedness under clauses (v), (w), (x) or (y)), the Borrower will
repay the Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i) or by making an offer (in
accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all
Lenders to repay Loans at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the pro rata
principal amount of Loans); (ii) to acquire all or substantially all of the
assets of, or a majority of the Voting Stock of, another Permitted Business;
(iii) to make a capital expenditure in a Permitted Business; or (iv) to acquire
other long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business. Pending
the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Borrower may temporarily
reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any
manner that is not prohibited by this Agreement.

(B) Any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as
provided in Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A) will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the
aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Borrower will be
required to make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Lenders and to the
extent required, to all holders of any Other Second-Lien Obligations containing
provisions similar to those set forth in this Agreement with respect to offers
to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets, to repay the maximum
principal amount of Loans (and such Other Second-Lien Obligations) that may be
repaid out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will
be equal to 100% of the principal amount of Loans and Other Second-Lien
Obligations to be repaid or the lesser amount required under agreements

 

48

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

governing such Other Second-Lien Obligations, plus accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, to the date of repayment, and will be payable in cash. To the extent
that the aggregate principal amount of Loans (and such Other Second-Lien
Obligations) accepted for repayment or tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer
is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Borrower may use any remaining Excess
Proceeds for any purpose that is not prohibited by this Agreement. If the
aggregate principal amount of Loans and such Other Second-Lien Obligations
accepted for repayment or surrendered by holders thereof pursuant to such Asset
Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Borrower shall apply the
Excess Proceeds ratably to the repayment of the Loans and any other tendered
Other Second-Lien Obligations based on the principal amount of the Loans or such
Other Second-Lien Obligations accepted for repayment or tendered. Upon
completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset
at zero.

(C) Within ten (10) Business Days of any date on which the aggregate amount of
Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Borrower shall deliver written notice
of such occurrence to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent
shall promptly deliver such notice to each Lender to the address of such Lender
appearing in the Register or otherwise in accordance with Section 10.02 with the
following information:

(1) that that the Borrower is making an Asset Sale Offer pursuant to this
Section 2.05(b)(ii) and that all Loans and Other Second-Lien Obligations
properly accepted for repayment or tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to such
Asset Sale Offer will be repaid by the Borrower;

(2) the repayment date, which will be no earlier than twenty Business Days nor
later than thirty Business Days from the date on which such notice is delivered
to the Administrative Agent (the “Asset Sale Payment Date”);

(3) that any Loan not properly accepted for repayment will remain outstanding
and continue to accrue interest;

(4) that unless the Borrower defaults in making the payment, all Loans accepted
for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer will cease to accrue interest on
the Asset Sale Payment Date;

(5) that Lenders electing to have Loans repaid pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer
may only elect to have all of such Loans repaid and may not elect to have only a
portion of such Loans repaid;

(6) that Lenders electing to have any Loans repaid pursuant to an Asset Sale
Offer will be required to notify the Administrative Agent in writing prior to
the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Asset Sale Payment
Date;

 

49

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

(7) that Lenders will be entitled to withdraw their election to require the
Borrower to repay such Loans; provided that the Administrative Agent receives,
not later than the close of business on the expiration date of the Asset Sale
Offer, a facsimile transmission, electronic mail or letter setting forth the
name of such Lender, the principal amount of Loans to be repaid, and a statement
that such Lender is withdrawing its election to have such Loans repaid;

(8) that, to the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Loans or the
Other Second-Lien Obligations accepted for repayment or surrendered by holders
thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Borrower will apply the
Excess Proceeds as set forth in Section 2.05(b)(ii)(B); and

(9) the other instructions, as determined by the Borrower that a Lender must
follow in order to have its Loans repaid.

The notice, if delivered in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively
presumed to have been given, whether or not the Lender receives such notice. If
(x) the notice is delivered in a manner herein provided and (y) any Lender fails
to receive such notice or a Lender receives such notice but it is defective,
such Lender’s failure to receive such notice or such defect shall not affect the
validity of the proceedings for the repayment of the Loans as to all other
Lenders that properly received such notice without defect.

(D) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Asset Sale Offer nor any repayment of
Loans under this Section 2.05(b)(ii) shall be made if such repayment is then
prohibited under the terms of any Credit Facility evidencing First-Priority Lien
Obligations.

(iii) Debt Issuances. In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds
are received by or on behalf of Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantors in respect
to any Debt Issuance, the Borrower shall, within (3) Business Days after such
Net Proceeds are received, prepay Loans on a pro rata basis, in each case in an
aggregate amount equal to 100% of the amount of such Net Proceeds (which
prepayment of principal shall be accompanied by payment of accrued and unpaid
interest, premiums (including the Prepayment Premium) and fees and expenses
associated with such principal amount prepaid).

Section 2.06 [Reserved].

Section 2.07 Repayment of Loans. Borrower shall repay to the Appropriate Lenders
on the applicable Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of all Loans of
any applicable Class outstanding on such date, together with all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon and any outstanding fees, in each case, payable in
accordance with the Loan Documents.

 

50

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

Section 2.08 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), each Loan shall bear interest
on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the
Applicable Rate. The Borrower shall pay interest on the Initial Loans at
(x) eleven percent (11%) per annum in cash on each Interest Payment Date (“Cash
Interest”) plus (y) two percent (2%) per annum paid in kind and capitalized on
each Interest Payment Date as set forth in Section 2.08(c) by adding such amount
to the outstanding principal amount of such Initial Loans (“PIK Interest”).

(b)

(i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard
to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise, all outstanding Loans (whether or not overdue) shall thereafter bear
interest at an interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws until such amount is paid in
full (after as well as before judgment).

(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by Borrower under
any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace
periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then such
overdue amount shall thereafter bear interest at the Default Rate to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Laws until such amount is paid in full (after as
well as before judgment).

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

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified
herein. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, interest
hereunder shall be due no less frequently than quarterly. PIK Interest shall be
paid by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Initial Loans, which
increase shall be evidenced on the Register and, if such advance is evidenced by
a Note with respect to any Lender, shall also be evidenced by a new Note if
requested by such Lender. PIK Interest shall accrue and be capitalized and added
to the outstanding principal balance of the Initial Loans on each Interest
Payment Date. From and after each applicable Interest Payment Date, the
outstanding principal amount of the Initial Loans shall without further action
by any party hereto be deemed to be increased by the aggregate amount of PIK
Interest so capitalized and added to the Initial Loans in accordance with the
immediately preceding sentence, whereupon such amount of PIK Interest so
capitalized and added shall also accrue interest in accordance with the terms of
this Section 2.08. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance
with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the
commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. Interest at the
Default Rate shall be payable on demand.

 

51

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

Section 2.09 Fees. Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own
account, in Dollars, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee
Letter. If any Refinancing Event shall occur, the obligations of the Borrower
under this Section 2.09 shall continue during the period described in
Section 2.15(f).

Section 2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of fees and
interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed.
Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and
shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the
Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same
day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one
day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee
hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error.

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

Section 2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without
condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower
hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
respective Appropriate Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the
Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not
later than noon on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will
promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other
applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received
by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the
Administrative Agent after noon shall in each case be deemed received on the
next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue
to accrue. If any payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other
than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day,
and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as
the case may be.

(b) (i) Funding by Lenders: Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender prior to
the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to
the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has

 

52

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

made such share available on such date in accordance with and at the time
required by Section 2.02 and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding
amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the
applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable
Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available
funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made
by such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative,
processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in
connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by
Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender
shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an
overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower
the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender
pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the
amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.
Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower
may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the
Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrower: Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from Borrower prior to
the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that 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 Appropriate Lenders the amount due. In such
event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the
Appropriate Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately
available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date
such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

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

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to
the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to
Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II and such
funds are not made available to Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the
conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not
satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative
Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to
such Lender, without interest.

 

53

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

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

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

(f) Insufficient Funds. Subject to Section 8.03, if at any time insufficient
funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all
amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be
applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder,
ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of
principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

Section 2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising
any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of
(a) Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the
proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender
at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to
all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of
payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at
such time or (b) Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its
ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations
owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the
aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all
Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Parties at such time) of payment on
account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the
Lenders at such time then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall
(a) notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such fact, and
(b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other
Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the
benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations then due and payable to the
Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be,
provided that:

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

 

54

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

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

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

Section 2.14 Incremental Facility.

(a) Incremental Commitments. The Borrower may at any time or from time to time
after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (an “Incremental
Request”), request one or more new commitments which shall be in the same
Class as any outstanding Loans (a “Loan Increase”) or a new Class of Loans
(collectively with any Loan Increase, the “Incremental Commitments”) under this
Agreement, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to
each of the Lenders.

(b) Incremental Loans. Any Incremental Loans (other than Loan Increases)
effected through the establishment of one or more new Loans made on an
Incremental Facility Closing Date shall be designated a separate Class of
Incremental Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. On any Incremental
Facility Closing Date on which any Incremental Commitments of any Class are
effected (including through any Loan Increase), subject to the satisfaction (or
waiver) of the terms and conditions in this Section 2.14, (i) each Incremental
Lender of such Class shall make a Loan to the Borrower (an “Incremental Loan”)
in an amount equal to its Incremental Commitment of such Class and (ii) each
Incremental Lender of such Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to
the Incremental Commitment of such Class and the Incremental Loans of such
Class made pursuant thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Incremental Loans
may have identical terms to any of the Loans and be treated as the same Class as
any of such Loans.

(c) Incremental Request. Each Incremental Request from the Borrower pursuant to
this Section 2.14 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the
relevant Incremental Loans. Incremental Loans may be made by any existing Lender
(but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Incremental
Commitment, nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing
Lenders to request any Incremental Commitment) or by any other bank or other
financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being
called an “Incremental Lender”).

 

55

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

(d) Effectiveness of Incremental Amendment. The effectiveness of any Incremental
Amendment, and the Incremental Commitments thereunder, shall be subject to the
satisfaction on the date of such Incremental Amendment (the “Incremental
Facility Closing Date”) of each of the following conditions:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist after giving effect to such
Incremental Commitments, and the representations and warranties in Article V of
this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the
case of any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,”
“Material Adverse Effect” or similar language, in all respects) on and as of the
date of the incurrence of such Incremental Commitments (although any
representations or warranties which expressly relate to a given date or period
shall be required only to be true and correct in all material respects (or in
all respects, as applicable) as of the respective date or for the respective
period, as the case may be);

(ii) each Incremental Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that
is not less than $5,000,000 and shall be in an increment of $1,000,000 (provided
that such amount may be less than $5,000,000 if such amount represents all
remaining availability under the limit set forth in clause (iii) below); and

(iii) the aggregate amount of Incremental Loans shall not exceed an amount of
Incremental Loans so long as on and as of the date of the incurrence of such
Incremental Loans and following the incurrence or issuance of such Indebtedness,
the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the Borrower’s most recently ended four full
fiscal quarters for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to
Section 6.01(a) or (b) immediately preceding the date on which such Indebtedness
is incurred would not exceed 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis
(including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the
additional Indebtedness had been incurred, as the case may be, at the beginning
of such four-quarter period.

(e) Required Terms. The terms, provisions and documentation of the Incremental
Loans and Incremental Commitments, as the case may be, of any Class, except as
otherwise set forth herein, shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the
applicable Incremental Lenders; provided that in no event will any Incremental
Loans be permitted to be voluntarily or mandatorily prepaid prior to the
repayment in full of the Initial Loans, unless accompanied by at least a ratable
payment of the Initial Loans (provided that any Incremental Amendment may
provide that the applicable Incremental Lenders shall receive a less than
ratable payment); provided, further, that to the extent the terms of such
Incremental Commitments are not consistent with the Initial Loans (except to the
extent permitted by this Section 2.14), the terms of such Incremental
Commitments shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (acting
at the direction of the Required Lenders) (it being understood that any terms
which are not substantially identical to the Initial Loans and are applicable
only after the then-existing Initial Loan Maturity Date are deemed to be
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent). In any event:

(i) the Incremental Loans:

(A) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Loans;

 

56

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

(B) shall not mature earlier than the latest Maturity Date of the Initial Loans
outstanding at the time of incurrence of such Incremental Loans;

(C) shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity not shorter than the
remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of then-existing Initial Loans
(without giving effect to any prepayments thereof);

(D) subject to clauses (B) and (C) above, amortization, if any, shall be
determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders;

(E) subject to clause (ii) below, shall have an Applicable Rate determined by
the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders; and

(F) may participate on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but not on
a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of
Initial Loans hereunder, as specified in the applicable Incremental Amendment;

(ii) with respect to any Incremental Loan, the All-In Yield applicable to such
Incremental Loans, as applicable, of each Class shall be determined by the
Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders, and shall be set forth in each
applicable Incremental Amendment; provided, however, that if the All-In Yield in
respect of such Incremental Loans exceeds the All-In Yield in respect of any
then-existing Initial Loans by more than 0.50%, the Applicable Rate of such
then-existing Initial Loans (including for all purposes of this Section any such
Loans funded pursuant to a Loan Increase or that are Incremental Loans with the
same terms as the Loans made (or deemed made) on the Closing Date) shall be
adjusted such that the All-In Yield of such then-existing Initial Loans equals
the All-In Yield of such Indebtedness minus 0.50%; provided that any amendments
to the Applicable Rate in respect of any then-existing Loans that become
effective subsequent to the Closing Date but prior to the time of such
Indebtedness is incurred or borrowed shall also be included in such
calculations, effective upon the making of loans under such Indebtedness;

(iii) to the extent such Incremental Loan is secured, it is not secured by any
property or assets of the Borrower or any other Loan Party other than the
Collateral (it being agreed that such Incremental Loan shall not be required to
be secured by all of the Collateral);

(iv) such Incremental Loan shall not be Guaranteed by any Person other than any
Loan Party and shall not have any obligors other than any Loan Party; and

(v) the proceeds of any Incremental Loan may be used for any purpose not
prohibited by this Agreement.

 

57

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

(f) Incremental Amendment. Commitments in respect of Incremental Loans shall
become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an
“Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan
Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Incremental Lender providing such
Commitments and the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the
Incremental Lenders). The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any
Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, effect such amendments to
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate,
in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this
Section 2.14. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Loans as
determined by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Loans. No
Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Loans unless it so agrees.
The Borrower shall certify to the Administrative Agent that all conditions
contained in this Agreement, including this Section 2.14, to any Incremental
Loans and any Incremental Amendments have been satisfied.

(g) This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to
the contrary.

Section 2.15 Lender Claimants.

(a) In order for a Lender Claimant to cease being a Lender Claimant and to be
acknowledged as a known Lender hereunder, such Lender Claimant shall submit to
the Administrative Agent (i) evidence of the Notes Claims beneficially owned by
such Lender Claimant, (ii) an Administrative Questionnaire, (iii) duly completed
IRS tax withholding forms pursuant to this Agreement and (iv) a signature page
to this Agreement. Promptly following receipt of such evidence, the
Administrative Agent shall forward such evidence to the Borrower. The Borrower
shall promptly direct in writing the Administrative Agent (i) whether the Person
submitting such evidence should be added to the Register as a Lender, (ii) the
original principal amount of Loans to be credited to such Lender Claimant,
(iii) the amount of paid-in-kind interest allocable to such Loans and which is
to be added to the original principal amount of the Loans and (iv) the amount of
cash held in the Lender Claimant Reserve Account to be paid to such Lender
Claimant, if any. The Borrower shall calculate the original principal amount of
Loans to be credited to a Lender Claimant as the result of adding (i) the
product of (A) the quotient of (1) the amount of 2020 Notes Claims owned by such
Lender Claimant and (2) the total amount of 2020 Notes Claims and (B)
$92,571,429 and (ii) the product of (A) the quotient of (1) the amount of 2022
Notes Claims owned by such Lender Claimant and (2) the total amount of 2022
Notes Claims and (B) $117,428,571. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a
signature page to this Agreement executed by such Lender Claimant and based
solely on the Borrower’s direction described in this Section 2.15(a), (x) in
respect of such Loans, such Lender Claimant shall cease to be a Lender Claimant
and shall have all rights of a Lender for purposes of this Agreement and all
other Loan Documents and (y) the Administrative Agent shall (i) revise the
Register to credit such Loans to such Lender Claimant, (ii) increase the
principal of such transferred Loans with all paid-in-kind interest allocable to
such Loans and (iii) pay to such Lender Claimant the cash amounts held in the
Lender Claimant Reserve Account allocable to such transferred Loans. In no event
shall the Administrative Agent have any duty, liability or obligation (i) to
solicit or request delivery of any information or documents from any Lender
Claimant, (ii) to review, verify or confirm any information or documents
submitted by any Lender Claimant or contained in any direction of the Borrower
or (iii) with respect to any calculation of amounts due or payable to any Lender
Claimant (including the amount of any principal or interest credited to any
Lender Claimant).

 

58

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

(b)

(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower nor any other Person shall be liable to any
Lender Claimant or to any other Person for any amount paid to a public official
pursuant to applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Law.

(ii) To the extent that (x) all Obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents (other than Obligations owing to any Lender Claimant or any
contingent obligations for which no claim has been made) are paid in full prior
to the Maturity Date and (y) on or after the date described in clause (x), the
Borrower deposits in to the Lender Claimant Reserve Account the full amount of
all Loans (including all paid-in-kind interest allocable to such Loans) then
outstanding with respect to all Lender Claimants, together with accrued and
unpaid interest due on the date of such deposit (the “Lender Claimant Obligation
Amount”, and the occurrence of the events described in clauses (x) and (y), a
“Refinancing Event”), on the date of such Refinancing Event, the Loans allocable
to all Lender Claimants shall be deemed paid in full for all purposes under this
Agreement; provided that until the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days prior
to the date that would have been the Maturity Date (as defined on the Closing
Date) had such Refinancing Event not occurred (the “Claim Termination Date”),
the claims of all Lender Claimants with respect to the Lender Claimant
Obligation Amount shall survive.

(iii) Absent the occurrence of a Refinancing Event, any portion of the Loans
(together with all paid-in-kind interest allocable to such Loans) remaining
unclaimed by Lender Claimants fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Maturity
Date (such Loans, the “Unclaimed Loans” and such date, the “Unclaimed Loans
Termination Date”) shall, on the Unclaimed Loans Termination Date, be deemed to
have been paid in full and any claims of a Lender Claimant shall then be deemed
extinguished.

(c) Any cash amounts that are held in the Lender Claimant Reserve Account shall
be applied by the Administrative Agent on the Claim Termination Date or the
Unclaimed Loans Termination Date, as applicable, after giving effect to the
deemed repayment in full of the Loans or Unclaimed Loans, as applicable, in
accordance with clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.15(b), in accordance with
Section 2.15(d).

(d) All amounts paid pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 2.15 shall
be applied in the following order of priority:

(i) to the extent not previously prepaid, to pay all accrued and unpaid interest
on the Loans as of the date of payment;

(ii) to the extent not previously prepaid, to pay that portion of the
Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans;

(iii) to the extent not previously prepaid, to pay any other outstanding
Obligations; and

 

59

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

(iv) the balance, if any, following the payment in full of such Obligations, if
any, to be retained by the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

(e) The Borrower hereby directs the Administrative Agent or an escrow agent
selected by the Borrower and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
to open and maintain a segregated, non-interest bearing account entitled “Lender
Claimant Reserve Account” for the purpose of holding funds payable to Lender
Claimants in accordance with this Agreement. Funds held in the Lender Claimant
Reserve Account shall remain uninvested.

(f) To the extent that a Refinancing Event occurs prior to the Maturity Date,
from the date of such Refinancing Event until the earlier of (i) the date that
all Lender Claimants have presented themselves and claimed all amounts contained
in the Lender Claimant Reserve Account in accordance with Section 2.15(a) and
(ii) the date that the Administrative Agent has applied amounts contained in the
Lender Claimant Reserve Account in accordance with Section 2.15(d), all rights,
powers and immunities of the Administrative Agent (including those contained in
Article IX and Section 10.04) and all remaining obligations of the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent described under this Agreement (including this
Section 2.15) with respect to the Lender Claimants and the Lender Claimant
Reserve Account shall continue and survive in full force and effect
notwithstanding the fact that all Obligations shall have been paid in full;
provided that during such period, the Administrative Agent may request and rely
on the direction of the Borrower for all purposes that it would have instead
relied on the direction of the Required Lenders prior to such period.

Section 2.16 Defaulting Lenders.

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

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

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or
other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to
Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08 shall be applied at such time or
times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the
payments of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative
Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default
exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender
has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as
determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and
released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future
funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement, fourth, to the
payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any final and
nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction

 

60

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

obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such
Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so
long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower
as a result of any final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result
of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and
sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of
competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the
principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not
fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when
the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment
shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro
rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting
Lender until such time as all Loans and funded by the Lenders pro rata in
accordance with the Commitments hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other
amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay
amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be deemed
paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably
consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee
payable under Section 2.09 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 required to have been paid to that Defaulting
Lender).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree
in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative
Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date
specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that
Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of
outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as may be
necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in
accordance with their Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a
Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with
respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while
that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the
extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder
from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any
claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting
Lender.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 3.01 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of
Taxes.

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by
applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding
for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld
or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined in the good faith
discretion of Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the
basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to
subsection (e) below.

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

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

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of
Section 3.01(a) above, Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.

(c) Tax Indemnifications.

(i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, Borrower
shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent
and each Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after
demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including
Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable
under this Section) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender,
as the case may be, and any reasonable

 

62

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

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. Borrower shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the
Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days
after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay
indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this
subsection. A certificate as to the amount of any 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.

(ii) Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, on
a several basis, (i) against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender
(but only to the extent the Loan Parties have not already paid or reimbursed the
Administrative Agent therefor and without limiting the Loan Parties’ obligation
to do so), (ii) against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to
maintain a Participant Register as required hereunder, and (iii) against any
Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or
paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Obligations, 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. Each Lender shall make payment within 10 days
after demand for any amount or liability payable under this Section. 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, as the case may be, under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the
Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause
(ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative
Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the
termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of
all other Obligations.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by
Borrower to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, Borrower
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
any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such
payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent,
when reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such
properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or
by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably
requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
as the case may be, to determine

(A) whether or not payments made by Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan
Document are subject to Taxes, withholding (including backup withholding), or
deduction and if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction,

 

63

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

(B) whether or not such Lender is subject to information reporting requirements,
and

(C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of,
applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s
status for withholding Tax purposes in the applicable jurisdictions.

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 Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B)(1)-(4), (iii) and
(v) below) 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, if Borrower is a U.S.
Person,

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

(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty
to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall 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 request of the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally
entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

 

64

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

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI,

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit B-l to the effect that such Foreign Lender
is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code,
(B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of
section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation”
described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as
applicable),

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

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

(iii) Each Lender shall promptly update and deliver any such form or certificate
it previously delivered that has expired or become obsolete or inaccurate in any
respect or notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its
legal inability to do so.

 

65

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

(iv) Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
as the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall reasonably request, on or prior
to the Closing Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such documents and
forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any
jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by Borrower, as are required to be
furnished by such Lender or the Administrative Agent under such Laws in
connection with any payment by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of Taxes
or Other Taxes, or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, with respect
to such jurisdiction.

(v) If a payment made to any Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to
withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the
applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in
Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law
(including as prescribed by Section 1471 (b)(3 )(C)(i) of the Code), and such
additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, in each case, 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 of this clause (v), “FATCA” shall include any amendments
made to FATCA after the Closing Date.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time
shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise
pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any
refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such
Lender, as the case may be. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender
determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes
or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect
to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall
pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this
Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund),
net of all out-of-pocket expenses and net of any loss or gain realized in the
conversion of such funds from or to another currency incurred by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, and without interest (other than any
interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund), provided that Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or
such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the
Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
3.01(f), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to
pay any amount to Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01(f) the payment of which
would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net
after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender 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 the Administrative Agent or any
Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to
its Taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

 

66

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

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

Section 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it
unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to perform any of its
obligations hereunder or make, maintain or fund or charge interest with respect
to any Credit Extension, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower
through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to issue, make,
maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Credit Extension,
shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer
exist.

Section 3.03 [Reserved].

Section 3.04 Increased Costs.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory
loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with
or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;

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

(iii) impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense affecting this
Agreement;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or
any other amount) then, upon request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender,
the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case
may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative
Agent or such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

67

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

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

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the
amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as
the case may be, as specified in Section 3.04(b) of this Section and delivered
to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall
pay such Lender, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days
after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand
compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not
constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided
that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or
reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender, as
the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim
compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof).

Section 3.05 [Reserved].

Section 3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 3.04, or Borrower is required to pay any additional
amount to any Lender, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any
Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to
Section 3.02, then, at the request of Borrower, such Lender shall, as
applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for
funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment
of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.04, as the case may be, in
the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as
applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender, as the case
may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender, as the case may be. The Borrower hereby agrees
to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection
with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, or if Borrower is required to pay Indemnified Taxes or any
additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of
any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, and in each case, such Lender has declined
or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with
Section 3.06(a), or if any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender or a Defaulting
Lender or otherwise gives notice pursuant to Section 3.02, the Borrower may
replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

 

68

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

Section 3.07 Survival. Each Loan Party’s obligations under this Article III
shall survive termination of the Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations
hereunder, and resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent.

Section 3.08 [Reserved].

ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
that:

Section 5.01 Existence: Compliance with Law. Each Loan Party (a) is duly
organized or formed, validly existing and, as applicable, in good standing under
the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or formation, (b) has the
requisite power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its
Property, to lease the Property it operates as lessee and to conduct the
business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified and licensed
and, as applicable, in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where
its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct of its business
requires such qualification except to the extent that the failure to be so
qualified could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and
(d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the
failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.02 Power: Authorization: Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has
the requisite power and authority to make, deliver and perform the Loan
Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow
hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate or other action to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which
it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the borrowings on
the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of,
filing with, notice to, approval or other act by or in respect of, any
Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with
(a) the borrowings hereunder or the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization,
(b) the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability against any
Loan Party of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (c) the grant
by any Loan Party of the Liens granted by it pursuant to the Collateral
Documents, (d) the perfection or maintenance of the Liens created under the
Collateral Documents (including the second priority nature thereof) or (e) the
exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of its rights under the Loan
Documents or the remedies in respect of the Collateral pursuant to the
Collateral Documents, except, in each case, (i) consents, authorizations,
filings and notices described in Schedule 5.02. which consents, authorizations,
filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect
(except as noted on Schedule 5.02), (ii) the filings referred to in
Section 5.18, (iii) in the case of any authorization, approval, action, notice
or filing from or with a Person other than a Governmental Authority, the failure
to have could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect and (iv) for matters that may be required after
the Closing Date in the ordinary course of conducting the business of the
Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof. Each Loan Document has been duly executed
and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. This
Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will
constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a
party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its
terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable Debtor Relief Laws
and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by
proceedings in equity or at law).

Section 5.03 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the borrowings hereunder and the use of
the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law nor any material
Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, including,
without limitation, arising under the ABL Loan Documents or other material debt
instrument, and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of
any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any
Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens
created by the Collateral Documents). No Requirement of Law or Contractual
Obligation applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries could, either
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

 

76

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

Section 5.04 No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation, claim or
proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or,
to the knowledge of the Borrower after due and diligent investigation,
threatened by or against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or against any
of their respective properties or revenues that (a) purport to directly affect
or pertain to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) except as specifically
disclosed in Schedule 5.04 individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and there has been no adverse change
in the status, or financial effect on any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof,
of the matters described in Schedule 5.04.

Section 5.05 Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Effect. (a) The Audited
Financial Statements, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report
from an independent certified public accounting firm of national reputation,
present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2017 and, to the extent
available on the Closing Date, December 31, 2018, as applicable, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the
respective fiscal years then ended.

(b) The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries at January 31, 2019, and the related unaudited consolidated
statements of income and cash flows for the period ended on such date, present
fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of
its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the period then ended
(subject to the absence of footnotes and normal year-end audit adjustments).

(c) All such financial statements described in Section 5.05(a) and
Section 5.05(b) of this Section, including the related schedules and notes
thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently
throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the applicable accounting
firm and disclosed therein or, in the case of financial statements described in
Section 5.05(b), for the absence of footnotes and normal year-end adjustments).
As of the Closing Date, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not have any
material Guarantees, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes (except
for any such tax liabilities to taxing authorities outside of the United States
which are not, in the aggregate, material to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
taken as a whole) or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term
commitments, including, without limitation, any interest rate or foreign
currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of
derivatives, that are not reflected in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at January 31, 2019, and the related
unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the period ended
on such date, and which should be so reflected in accordance with GAAP. During
the period from January 31, 2019 to and including the Closing Date, there has
been no Disposition by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any material
part of its business or Property, except as reflected in the financial
statements described in Section 5.05(a) and Section 5.05(b) of this Section,
which were delivered prior to the Closing Date.

 

77

the Cases, either individually or in the aggregate, that has had or could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.06 No Default. Neither any Loan Party nor any Subsidiary thereof is in
default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any
respect that could, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing or would result from the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 5.07 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each Loan Party has good record and
marketable title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its
material real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all
its other material Property, except for such defects in title as could not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, and none of such Property is subject to any Lien except Liens
permitted by Section 7.01. Schedule 5.07 sets forth a complete and accurate
list, as of the Closing Date, of all land rigs and barge rigs located and
operating in the continental United States, Alaska or Gulf of Mexico waters
subject to U.S. state or federal jurisdiction owned by each Loan Party and each
of its Subsidiaries, showing as of the Closing Date the record owner and
registration number as presented on any certificate of title or contained in the
official records of the National Vessel Documentation Center of the United
States Coast Guard, as applicable.

Section 5.08 Intellectual Property. Each Loan Party owns, or is licensed to use,
all material Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as
currently conducted; no material claim has been asserted and is pending by any
Person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or
the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does the
Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim; and the use of such
Intellectual Property by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on
the rights of any Person in any material respect.

Section 5.09 Taxes. Except to the extent excused or prohibited by the Bankruptcy
Code of the United States or not otherwise authorized by the Bankruptcy Court
with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date, each of the Borrower and each
of its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all material Federal, state
and other Tax returns and reports that are required to be filed and has paid all
Taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made
against it or any of its Property and all other material Taxes, fees or other
charges imposed on it or any of its Property by any Governmental Authority
(other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in each case, with
respect to which adequate reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on
the books of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be), and no tax
Lien has been filed (except for any Liens for taxes, the nonpayment of which is
excused or prohibited by the Bankruptcy Code, or as permitted by
Section 7.1(a)), and, to the knowledge of Borrower, no claim is being asserted,
with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge (other than any such Liens and
claims in favor of taxing authorities outside of the United States which are
not, in the aggregate, material to Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole). Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof is party to any tax sharing
agreement.

 

78

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

Section 5.10 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be
used in violation of Regulation U issued by the FRB as now and from time to time
hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the
regulations of the FRB. No Loan Party is engaged or will engage, principally or
as one of its important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying
margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the FRB).

Section 5.11 Labor Matters. There are no strikes or other labor disputes against
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of the
Borrower, threatened that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Hours worked by and payment made to
employees of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the
Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with
such matters that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as could not (individually or
in the aggregate) reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, all
payments due from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on account of employee
health and welfare insurance have been paid or accrued as a liability on the
books of the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary.

Section 5.12 ERISA Compliance.

(a) Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable
provisions of ERISA, the Code and other Federal or state Laws, except where such
non-compliance has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. The base prototype plan document which each Plan that
is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code uses an opinion letter
from the IRS, or an application for such a letter is currently being processed
by the IRS with respect thereto and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, nothing
has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification.
Except to the extent the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate have made
all required contributions to each Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code, and
no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any amortization period
pursuant to Section 412 of the Code has been made with respect to any Plan.
There are no pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened claims,
actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to
any Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
There has been no prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary
responsibility rules with respect to any Plan that has resulted or could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Except to the extent such event could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect: (i) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably
expected to occur; (ii) no Pension Plan has any Unfunded Pension Liability;
(iii) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably
expects to incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any
Pension Plan (other than premiums due and not delinquent under Section 4007 of
ERISA); (iv) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or
reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no event has occurred which,
with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such
liability) under Section 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer
Plan; and (v) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a
transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA.

 

79

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

(c) With respect to each scheme or arrangement mandated by a government other
than the United States (a “Foreign Government Scheme or Arrangement”) and with
respect to each employee benefit plan maintained or contributed to by any Loan
Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party that is not subject to United States
law (a “Foreign Plan”), each Foreign Plan is in compliance in all material
respects with the provisions of the applicable law or terms of the applicable
Foreign Government Scheme or Arrangement and no Foreign Benefit Event has
occurred or is reasonably expected to occur, except where such non-compliance or
occurrence has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

(d) The Borrower represents and warrants as of the Closing Date that none of the
Borrower or its Subsidiaries, is or will be using “plan assets” (within the
meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or
more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans or the Commitments.

Section 5.13 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an
“investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”,
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan
Party is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than
Regulation X of the FRB) which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

Section 5.14 Subsidiaries. The Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.14 constitute
all of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower as of the Closing Date. Schedule 5.14
sets forth as of the Closing Date the name and jurisdiction of incorporation
and, in the case of each Loan Party, the U.S. taxpayer identification number of
each such Subsidiary and, as to each, the percentage of each class of Equity
Interest owned by each Loan Party. All of the outstanding Equity Interests in
the Subsidiaries of the Borrower have been validly issued, and (to the extent
applicable) fully paid and non-assessable. All of the outstanding Pledged Equity
Interests that are Collateral are owned free and clear of all Liens except those
created under the Collateral Documents and, if and when the same are executed
and delivered, the ABL Loan Documents and any other documents with respect to
any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred and secured on a senior, pari passu or
junior basis pursuant to Sections 7.01 and 7.03. As of the Closing Date, the
Borrower does not directly or indirectly own any Equity Interest in any
corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company (or other business
entity) other than those specifically disclosed in Schedule 5.14. Schedule 5.14
identifies as of the Closing Date each Material Subsidiary, Immaterial
Subsidiary, Project Finance Subsidiary and Excluded Subsidiary. As of the
Closing Date, there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls,
rights or other agreements or commitments (other than Equity Interests granted

entity that is owned or controlled by any individual or entity described in
clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), only to the extent such ownership or control would
cause all transactions to be similarly prohibited with such person pursuant to
Sanctions). No Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor, to the knowledge of
any Loan Party (including the knowledge of the Chief Compliance Officer

indirectly, (i) to lend, contribute, provide or has otherwise been made
available to fund any activity or business in any Designated Jurisdiction, or to
fund any activity or business of any Person located, organized or residing in
any Designated Jurisdiction or who is the subject of any Sanctions in violation
of applicable Sanctions, or (ii) in any other manner, that will result in any
violation by any Person (including any individual, entity or other Person
participating in the transaction, whether as underwriter, advisor, investor,
Lender, the Administrative Agent or otherwise) of applicable Sanctions.

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

Section 6.03 Notices. Promptly notify the Administrative Agent (which shall
promptly furnish such notice to each Lender) of:

Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect or (ii) litigation, investigation or proceeding which
may exist at any time between the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and any
Governmental Authority that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(c) any litigation, investigation by a third-party (excluding, for the avoidance
of doubt, any internal investigations) or proceeding affecting the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries (i) in which the amount involved is $5,000,000 or more
and not covered by insurance or (ii) in which injunctive or similar relief is
sought which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

have a Material Adverse Effect.

Each notice pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall be accompanied by a statement of
a Responsible Officer of the Borrower setting forth details of the occurrence
referred to therein and stating what action the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary
has taken and proposes to take with respect thereto. Each notice pursuant to

sound and reputable insurance companies insurance on all its Property in at
least such amounts and against at least such risks (but including in any event
public liability and product liability) as are usually insured against in the
same general area by companies engaged in the same or a similar business. The
Borrower shall furnish certificates, policies and endorsements to Administrative
Agent as Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as proof of such
insurance, and, if the Borrower fails to do so, Administrative Agent is
authorized, but not required, to obtain such insurance at the expense of the
Borrower. All policies shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written
notice to Administrative Agent of any cancellation or reduction of coverage. The
Borrower shall cause Administrative Agent to be named as a loss payee and an
additional insured (but without any liability for any premiums) under such
insurance policies and the Borrower shall obtain non-contributory lender’s loss
payable endorsements to all insurance policies in form and substance
satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Any such lender’s loss payable
endorsements shall specify that the proceeds of such insurance shall be payable
to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as its
interests may appear and further specify that Administrative Agent shall be paid
regardless of any act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates.

Customary Intercreditor Agreement, the Administrative Agent, at its option, may
apply any insurance proceeds received by Administrative Agent at any time while
any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing to the cost of

reasonable prior notice, and to discuss the business, operations, properties and
financial and other condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries with officers
and employees of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and with its independent
certified public accountants (it being understood that all such notices shall be

properties or assets, unless the same are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and adequate reserves in accordance
with GAAP are being maintained by the Borrower or such Subsidiary; (b) all other
lawful claims which, if unpaid, would by law become a Lien upon its property;
and (c) all Indebtedness, as and when due and payable, but subject to any
subordination provisions contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing

expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Parties, does not have a perfected Lien, promptly following such acquisition

than the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower and (ii) any sale or other
transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Borrower or
a Subsidiary of the Borrower will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an
incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may
be, that was not permitted by this clause (vi);

(vii) the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of Hedging
Obligations in the Ordinary Course of Business and not for speculative purposes;

(viii) the Guarantee by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of Indebtedness
of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantors that was permitted to be incurred
by another provision of this covenant; provided that if the Indebtedness that is
being Guaranteed is subordinated in right of payment to the Loans or a Guarantee
pursuant to the Loan Documents, then the Guarantee of that Indebtedness by the
Borrower or its Subsidiary shall be subordinated in right of payment to the
Loans or the Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee pursuant to the Loan Documents, as
the case may be;

(ix) the incurrence by the Borrower’s Subsidiaries of Non-Recourse Debt;

a Subsidiary of the Borrower that was not permitted by this clause (ix);

(x) the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in
respect of workers’ compensation claims, public liability insurance,

(xii) Indebtedness represented by agreements of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries
providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price, earn outs or
similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the
disposition of any business, assets or Equity Interests of the Borrower or its
Subsidiary; provided that the maximum aggregate liability in respect of all such
Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds actually received by the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition;

 

93

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

(xiii) Indebtedness of (x) the Borrower or any Subsidiary incurred to finance an
acquisition or (y) a Subsidiary incurred and outstanding on the date on which
such Subsidiary was acquired by the Borrower (other than Indebtedness incurred
in connection with, or in contemplation of, such acquisition); provided that
after giving effect to such acquisition or at the time such Subsidiary is
acquired by the Borrower, (A) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Borrower’s
most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which financial statements
have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b) immediately preceding the
date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Subsidiary is
acquired would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis
(including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the
additional Indebtedness had been incurred, as the case may be, at the beginning
of such four-quarter period or (B) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the
Borrower would be no less than immediately prior to such acquisition;

(xiv) Indebtedness of Foreign Subsidiaries (other than Project Finance
Subsidiaries) in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding, including all
Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance or

such preferred stock being held by a Person other than the Borrower or a
Subsidiary thereof and (b) any sale or other transfer of any such preferred
stock to a Person that is not either the Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof, will
be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred stock (as
of the date of such sale or transfer) by such Subsidiary that was not permitted
by this clause (xv);

(xvi) Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries consisting of
(a) the financing of insurance premiums or (b) take-or-pay obligations contained

(x) Treasury Management Arrangements and (y) in connection with the Specified
Permitted Reorganization;

(xviii) the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of additional
unsecured Indebtedness or Indebtedness secured on a pari passu or junior basis,
in each case, in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as
applicable) at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing
Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred
pursuant to this clause (xviii), in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed
at any time outstanding $30.0 million;

(xix) the incurrence by Project Finance Subsidiaries of Project Financings; and

(xx) the incurrence of Indebtedness and the issuance of Disqualified Stock or
preferred stock, in each case constituting Permitted Ratio Debt and any
Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any
Indebtedness so incurred, or Disqualified Stock or preferred stock so issued,
pursuant to this clause (xx).

 

94

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

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.03, if an item of
Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) at any time meets the criteria of more
than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i) through
(xx) above, the Borrower will be permitted to classify (and later reclassify) in
whole or in part, in its sole discretion such item of Indebtedness in any manner
that complies with this Section 7.03. Indebtedness under the ABL Credit
Agreement or any refinancings or replacements thereof, whether existing on the
Closing Date or incurred thereafter, shall be classified under clause (i) of the
second paragraph of this Section 7.03.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.03, in connection
with any commitment to incur Indebtedness under this Section 7.03 (including,
for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any commitment to incur Indebtedness
under the ABL Credit Agreement), the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may,
pursuant to a certificate of a Responsible Officer delivered to the
Administrative Agent at the time of such commitment, designate such Indebtedness
as having been incurred on the date of such commitment (such date, the “Deemed
Date”), and any related borrowing or other extension of credit will be deemed
for all purposes under this Agreement to have been incurred on such Deemed Date,
including without limitation for purposes of calculating usage of any baskets
hereunder (if applicable), the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio and Consolidated Tangible Assets (and all such calculations on
the Deemed Date and thereafter shall be made on a pro forma basis after giving
effect to the deemed incurrence and related transactions in connection therewith
until such commitment is terminated.

The accrual of interest or preferred stock dividends, the accretion or
amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any
Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the
reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in
accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on preferred stock or
Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of
preferred stock or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of
Indebtedness or an issuance of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock for
purposes of this covenant; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof
is included in Fixed Charges of the Borrower as accrued. Further, the
reclassification of any lease or other liability of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles after the
Closing Date will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes
of this covenant.

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. Dollar-denominated
restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. Dollar-equivalent
principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency will be
calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date
such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first
committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such
Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in the same
foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S.
Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant
currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, the U.S.
Dollar-denominated restriction will be deemed not to have been exceeded so long
as the principal amount of the refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the
principal amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 7.03, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the
Borrower may incur pursuant to this covenant will not be deemed to be exceeded
solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies.

any Subsidiary Guarantor, such merger or consolidation shall be made to effect a
Disposition permitted by Section 7.05); and

 

96

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

(vi) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least one
Business Day prior to the date on which any such merger or consolidation is to

substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, certifying that
all of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.04(f) have been satisfied or
will be satisfied on or prior to the date on which such merger or consolidation
is consummated;

(g) any merger, consolidation, amalgamation, dissolution or Disposition of any
Subsidiary that constitutes an Investment permitted under Section 7.06 or a
Disposition permitted under Section 7.05;

(h) any change in the form or jurisdiction of organization of any Subsidiary if
the Borrower determined in good faith that such change is in the best interest
of the Borrower and is not materially disadvantageous to the Lenders; provided
that all necessary actions are taken to ensure that the security interests in

(i) this Section 7.04 shall not prohibit the consummation of the Specified

of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or
Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; (ii) the fair market
value is determined by (a) an executive officer of the Borrower if the value is
less than $20.0 million and evidenced by an officers’ certificate delivered to
the Administrative Agent or (b) the Borrower’s board of directors if the value
is $20.0 million or more and evidenced by a resolution of such board of
directors delivered to the Administrative Agent; and (iii) at least 75% of the
consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Borrower or such Subsidiary is
in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents or any combination thereof. For purposes
of this Section 7.05 each of the following shall be deemed to be cash: (a) any
liabilities (as shown on the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s most recent balance
sheet) of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and
liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Loans or any Guarantee
pursuant to the Loan Documents) that are assumed by the transferee of any such
assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases the Borrower or
such Subsidiary from further liability and (b) any securities, notes or other
obligations received by the Borrower or such Subsidiary from such transferee
that are converted by the Borrower or such Subsidiary into cash or Cash
Equivalents within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale, to the
extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion.

Section 7.06 Restricted Payments. (i) declare or pay any dividend or make any

Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor and any unsecured Indebtedness of the
Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor (“Restricted Debt”), except a payment of
principal within six months of or at the stated Maturity Date thereof; or

Section 8.02 Remedies Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs and
is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, at the direction of the Required
Lenders, take any or all of the following actions:

whereupon such commitments and obligation shall be terminated;

(b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest
accrued and unpaid thereon, premiums (including, without limitation, any
Prepayment Premium), fees and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or
under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived by the Borrower;

(c) terminate this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as to any future
liability or obligation of the Loan Parties, but without affecting any of the
Administrative Agent’s Liens in the Collateral and without affecting the
Obligations; and

(d) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies
available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents;

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an
order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the
United States or other Debtor Relief Law or upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default described in Section 8.01(f), in addition to the remedies set forth
above, without any notice to the Borrower or any other Person or any act by the
Required Lenders, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans shall
automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans
and all interest, fees, premiums

 

108

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

(including any Prepayment Premium) and other amounts as aforesaid shall
automatically become due and payable as aforesaid shall automatically become
effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender and Borrower shall automatically be obligated to repay all of such
Obligations in full, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice or other
requirements of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Loan Parties.

Upon an acceleration of the Loans as a result of an Event of Default (including
an acceleration upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for
relief with respect to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code of the United
States or other Debtor Relief Law or upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
described in Section 8.01(f)), the amount of principal of, and premium on (if
any), the Loans that becomes due and payable shall include the Prepayment
Premium (if any), determined as of such date, shall become immediately due and
payable by the Loan Parties and shall constitute part of the Obligations as if
the Loans were being voluntarily prepaid or repaid as of such date, in view of
the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and
by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each
Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any Prepayment Premium payable
pursuant to this Agreement shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages
sustained by each Lender as the result of the early repayment or prepayment of
the Loans and each of the Borrower and the Guarantors agrees that it is
reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. EACH OF THE BORROWER AND
THE GUARANTORS EXPRESSLY WAIVE (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO)
THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY
PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREMIUMS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH
ACCELERATION. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors expressly agrees (to the
fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Prepayment Premium is
reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between
sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Prepayment
Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the
time payment or redemption is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct
between Lenders, the Borrower and the Guarantors giving specific consideration
in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium and (D) the
Borrower and the Guarantors shall be estopped hereafter from claiming
differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Each of the Borrower and the
Guarantors expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay or guarantee the
payment of the Prepayment Premium, to the Lenders as herein described is a
material inducement to Lenders to make (or be deemed to make) the Loans.

Section 8.03 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for
in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due
and payable as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), subject to the terms
of the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any Customary Intercreditor
Agreement, any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied
by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,
indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and
disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under
Article III but excluding any principal and interest) payable to the
Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

 

109

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

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,
indemnities, premiums (including any Prepayment Premium) and other amounts
(other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders (including fees,
charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders arising under the
Loan Documents and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in
proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to
them;

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and
unpaid interest on the Loans and other Obligations arising under the Loan
Documents, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts
described in this clause Third payable to them;

Fourth, to payment of all other Obligations ratably among the Secured Parties;
and

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly
paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

to exercise such powers as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent
by the terms hereof or thereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the
execution and delivery of the other Loan Documents (including the Senior Lien
Intercreditor Agreement or any Customary Intercreditor Agreement)), together
with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
provisions of this Article, other than the final sentence of Section 9.10, are
solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the
Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such
provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein
or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the
Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied
(or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law.
Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to
create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting
parties. The Administrative Agent shall not be an agent for the Lender Claimants
and shall not have any duties or obligations with respect to the Loans
attributed to such Lender Claimants, other than (i) maintenance of the Lender
Claimant Reserve Account and (ii) the crediting of their Loans in accordance
with Section 2.15(a).

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the
Loan Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Senior Lien
Intercreditor Agreement or any Customary Intercreditor Agreement), and each of
the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent
to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of

 

110

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

acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any
of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations. In furtherance thereon,
each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the
Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent of the Administrative Agent appointed
pursuant to Section 9.05), as “collateral agent” as “trustee” to act on their
behalf solely for the purpose of acting as mortgagee under Mortgages and holding
the second preferred mortgage interest in each Specified Rig granted to the
Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent”, as “trustee” pursuant to the
respective Mortgage. The Administrative Agent hereby accepts and declares that
it will hold each Mortgage for the sole use and benefit of the Lenders and shall
perform its obligations hereunder, but only upon the terms and conditions of
this Agreement. In connection with all of the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-
fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes
of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof)
granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and
remedies thereunder, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this
Article IX and Article X (including Section 10.04(c), as though such co-agents,
sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan
Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

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

Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any
duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other
Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, and the
Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder and thereunder shall be administrative
in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent:

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

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

 

111

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

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

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

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

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Loan Documents or otherwise to the
contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to (i) file or
prepare any financing or continuation statements or record any documents or
instruments in any public office for purposes of creating, perfecting or
maintaining any Lien or security interest created under the Loan Documents;
(ii) take any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with
respect to any Collateral; or (iii) take any action to protect against any
diminution in value of the Collateral. The Borrower shall make any and all
filings and recordations.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to
the contrary, before taking or omitting any action to be taken or omitted by the
Administrative Agent under the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, the Administrative Agent may seek the written direction of the
Required Lenders, and the Administrative Agent is entitled to rely (and is fully
protected in so relying) upon such direction. The Administrative Agent is not
liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in
accordance with such direction. If the Administrative Agent requests such
direction with respect to any action, the Administrative Agent is entitled to
refrain from such action unless and until the Administrative Agent has received
such direction, and the Administrative Agent does not incur liability to any
Person by reason of so refraining. In the absence of an express statement in the
Loan Documents regarding which Lenders shall direct in any circumstance, the
direction of the Required Lenders shall apply and be sufficient

 

112

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

for all purposes. If the Administrative Agent so requests, it must first be
indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all fees, losses,
liabilities and expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent by
reason of taking or continuing to take, or omitting, any action directed by any
Lender. Any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents authorizing
the Administrative Agent to take any action does not obligate the Administrative
Agent to take such action.

The Administrative Agent shall never be required to use, risk or advance its own
funds or otherwise incur liability in the performance of any of its duties or
the exercise of any of its rights and powers hereunder (including, but not
limited to, no obligation to grant any credit extension or to make any advance
hereunder). In no event shall the Administrative Agent be liable, directly or
indirectly, for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages, even
if the Administrative Agent has been advised of the possibility of such damages
and regardless of the form of action. The Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its
control. Such acts shall include, but not be limited to, acts of God, strikes,
lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed
after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power
failures, earthquakes, terrorist attacks or other disasters.

The Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied
duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing. The Administrative Agent will not be required to take any action
that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the
Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or
applicable law.

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein or in the other Loan
Documents, whenever reference is made in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document to any discretionary action by, consent, designation, specification,
requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or
other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be)
suffered or omitted by the Administrative Agent or to any election, decision,
opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other
exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the
Administrative Agent, it is understood that the Administrative Agent shall be
acting at the direction of the Required Lenders and shall be fully protected in
acting pursuant to such directions.

Each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the
Loan Documents to which it is a party on the date hereof on behalf of and for
the benefit of the Lenders.

Whether or not so expressly stated therein, in entering into, or taking (or
forbearing from) any action under pursuant to, the Loan Documents, the
Administrative Agent shall have all of the rights, immunities, indemnities and
other protections granted to it under this Agreement (in addition to those that
may be granted to it under the terms of such other agreement or agreements).

The Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for interest or income on
any funds held by it hereunder and any funds so held shall be held uninvested
pending distribution thereof.

 

113

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

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

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

Section 9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time, or upon the request of the
Required Lenders, shall promptly give notice of its resignation to the Lenders
and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required
Lenders shall, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor, which
shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such
bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been
so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its
resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders)
(the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may
(but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided that
in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting
Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall
become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective
Date (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents,
the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such
collateral security as bailee until such time as a successor Administrative
Agent is appointed, but the Administrative Agent may petition a court of
competent jurisdiction, at the expense of Borrower, for the appointment of a
successor).

 

114

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

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender
pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and
such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with
the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders)
(the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become
effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date (except
that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as bailee
until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed, but the
Administrative Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction, at the
expense of Borrower, for the appointment of a successor).

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

 

115

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

(d) Any Person into which the Administrative Agent may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Administrative Agent shall be a party,
or any Person succeeding to the business of the Administrative Agent shall be
the successor of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the execution or
filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any
of the parties hereto.

Section 9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any other Lender or any of their
Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any other Lender or
any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it
shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in
taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or
thereunder.

Section 9.08 No Other Duties Etc. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, Administrative Agent shall not have any powers, duties or
responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except
in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender
hereunder.

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

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

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable
on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver,
assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any
such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such
payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative
Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to
pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and
counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under the Loan
Documents.

 

116

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

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

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at
the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the
Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction
of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more
acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale
thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United
States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the
United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan
Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of
collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction
of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in
accordance with any applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and
purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be,
and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to
contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired
assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in
an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount
used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased
(or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or
vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such
bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more
acquisition vehicles to make a bid and to adopt documents providing for the
governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by
the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles,
including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be
governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders,
irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to
the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 10.01),
(ii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant
Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result
of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion
of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition
vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all
without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any
further action, and (iii) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an
acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a
result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations
assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the
acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be
reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt
instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that
had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled,
without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any
further action.

Section 9.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders irrevocably
authorizes the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders,
to (a) release any and all Collateral from the Liens created by the Collateral
Documents, subordinate any Lien on any and all such Collateral and/or release
any and all Guarantors (other than Borrower) from their

 

117

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

respective obligations under the Guaranty at any time and from time to time in
accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Documents and Section 10.21,
(b) execute and deliver, and take any action referred to in Section 10.21 to
evidence any such release or subordination and (c) enter into any amendments of
the Collateral Documents dated on and as of even date herewith deemed reasonably
necessary or appropriate by the Required Lenders in order to evidence the
Obligations secured by such Collateral Documents and for any other related
purpose.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will
confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or
subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release
any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to
Section 9.10 or Section 10.21. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible
for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty
regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the
existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or
any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall
the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable for any failure to monitor or
maintain any portion of the Collateral. In addition, the Administrative Agent
will have no obligation to conduct any independent evaluation or appraisal of
the assets or liabilities of the Borrower, or any other party, or opine or
advise on any related Solvency issues.

Lux Holdco hereby expressly accepts and confirms, for the purposes of article
1278 and article 1281 of the Luxembourg civil code, that notwithstanding any
assignment, transfer and/or novation permitted under, and made in accordance
with, the provisions of this Agreement, any security provided pursuant to a Loan
Document to which Lux Holdco is a party shall be preserved, for the purposes of
Luxembourg law, for the benefit of any new Lender.

extended, nor the principal owed to such Lender reduced or the final maturity
thereof extended, without the consent of such 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 consent of such Defaulting Lender.

120

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

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other
communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the
sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by
the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other

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

(d) Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
may change its address (including its address for electronic communications) or
telecopier for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other
parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address (including its address
for electronic communications) or telecopier for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

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

 

121

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

(e) Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and
the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including
electronic notices or Committed Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf
of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified
herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of
notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the
recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify
the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them
from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by
such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower.
All telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by
the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such
recording.

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

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan
Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents against the 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 Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the
Secured Parties; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit
(a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and
remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative
Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from
exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms
of Section 2.13), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and
filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative
to 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 (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights
otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and
(ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the
preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent
of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as
authorized by the Required Lenders.

Section 10.04 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates

fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel for the Administrative
Agent and one primary counsel for the Lenders, taken as a whole, and, if
reasonably necessary, of one or more regulatory counsels and one local

 

122

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

counsel in any relevant jurisdiction to the Administrative Agent and one or more
such counsel to the Lenders, taken as a whole), in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation,

other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the
provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the fees, charges
and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent and any counsel
for the Lenders (and one counsel for the Administrative Agent and one counsel
for the Lenders, taken as a whole, in any relevant foreign jurisdiction), in
connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection
with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under
this Section, or (B) in connection with Loans made, including all such
documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each other Agent and each
Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person
being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from,
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees and expenses (but limited
in the case of legal fees, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees,
charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Administrative Agent and one
counsel for the Lenders, taken as a whole, and, solely in the case of an actual
or reasonably perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel to all
affected Indemnitees, taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, of one
local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction to the Administrative Agent and one
local counsel to the Lenders, taken as a whole, in each such relevant material
jurisdiction), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by
any Person 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 of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case
of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties
only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
(including fees and expenses incurred in enforcing this indemnity and including
in respect of any matters addressed in Section 3.01), (ii) any Loan or the use
or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence
or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in
any way to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or
prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of
the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether
brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of
the Borrower’s or such Loan Party’s directors, shareholders or creditors, or by
any other Person and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, IN
ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE
COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE; provided that
such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee,
(y) other than with respect to the Administrative Agent, result from a claim
brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach
in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s

 

123

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

obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such
other Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on
such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) result from
any dispute solely among the Indemnitees (other than claims against an
Indemnitee in its capacity as the Administrative Agent or a similar role) and
not arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries. This Section 10.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other
than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related
expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that Borrower for any reason fails
to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this
Section or under Section 2.09 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or
any sub-agent thereof), each other Agent or any Related Party of any of the
foregoing (and without limiting Borrower’s obligation to do so), each Lender
severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent),
such other Agent or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount,
provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or any other Agent in
its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing
acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or any other Agent
in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this
subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).

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

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than
thirty days after written demand therefor (or such later time as the applicable
payee shall agree to in writing in its sole discretion).

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation or
removal of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the
termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of
all the other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Refinancing Event
shall occur, the obligations under this Section 10.04 shall continue during the
period described in Section 2.15(f).

 

124

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

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

Section 10.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may
assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except
(i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this
Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of
subsection (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a
security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this
Section (and 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 subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.

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

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitment and the Loans of any Class 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

 

125

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

(B) in any case not described in Section 10.06(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of
the Commitment and the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the
assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the
Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and
Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless, so
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower
otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an
Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a
single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee
Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining
whether such minimum amount has been met.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment
assigned;

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

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender,
an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall
be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object
thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days
after having received notice thereof; and

(B) the Administrative Agent shall acknowledge receipt of any Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with
a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however,
that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such
processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment; provided further,
that such fee shall be payable only once in the event of simultaneous
assignments to or by two or more Approved Funds that are administered, managed,
advised or sub-advised by the same entity or entities that are Affiliates of
each other. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Borrower or Defaulting Lender. No such assignment shall be
made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or to any Defaulting
Lender or any of a Defaulting Lender’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

 

126

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

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a
natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned
and operated for the primary benefit of a natural person).

(vii) Conversion of Lender Claimants. For the purposes of this Agreement, the
conversion of a Lender Claimant to a Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 shall not
be deemed an assignment.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to
this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, Section 3.04, and Section 10.04
with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of
such assignment. Upon request, Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and
deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of
rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
subsection (d) of this Section.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative
Agent’s Office a copy (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) of each
Assignment and Assumption delivered 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No assignment shall be
effective unless recorded in the Register. The parties hereto agree and intend
that the Loans shall be treated as being in “registered form” for purposes of
the Code (included Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2), and 881(c)(2) of the Code), and
the Register shall be maintained in accordance with such intention.

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

 

127

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

and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue
to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such
Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided
that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without
the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other
modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such
Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 (subject to
the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under
Section 3.01(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under
Section 3.01(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)), Section 3.04
and Section 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its
interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent
permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be
subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a
participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary 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 to any
Person (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) 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-l(c) of
the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register
shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such
participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to
the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its
capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a
Participant Register.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or Section 3.04 than the
applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant, unless (i) the sale of the participation
to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or
(ii) such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law
that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including
under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any
pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other
central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; 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.

 

128

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

Section 10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of
the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed
(a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners,
directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors, independent
auditors, legal counsel and representatives (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential
nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority
purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Related Parties (including any
self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or
by any subpoena or similar legal or administrative process, (d) to any other
party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or
under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or
thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the
same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any
prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its
advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or its
obligations hereunder, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) for purposes of
establishing a “due diligence” defense or (i) to the extent such Information
(x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
Section, (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any
Lender or any of their respective Affiliates (and the successors and assigns of
the foregoing) on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower
or (z) is independently developed by the Administrative Agent, any other Agent,
any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates (and the successors and assigns
of the foregoing). In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may
disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to
market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and
service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with
the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Loans.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from
any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any
Subsidiary thereof or any of their respective businesses, other than any such
information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or
any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or
any Subsidiary thereof, provided that, in the case of information received from
a Loan Party or any such Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is
clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required
to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall
be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

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

Section 10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency), other than deposits
in accounts designated as trust or tax withholding accounts and that are
exclusively used for such purposes, at any time held and other obligations (in
whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or
for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against
any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party now or
hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such
Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of
the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a
branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such
deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any
Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff hereunder, (i) all
amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent
for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16 and,
pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its
other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders, and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the
Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations
owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.
The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are
in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that
such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to
notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff
and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
the validity of such setoff and application.

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

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

 

130

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

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

Section 10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality,
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the
parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of
which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

Section 10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 3.01 and in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to
designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 3.06(a). If any
Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender or a Defaulting Lender, or if any other
circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a
Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort,
upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to
assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan
Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may
be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

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

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

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

 

131

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

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

(e) in connection with any such replacement, if any such Non-Consenting Lender
or Defaulting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a
duly executed Assignment and Assumption reflecting such replacement within five
(5) Business Days of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers
such Assignment and Assumption to such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting
Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to
have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption without any action on
the part of the Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender.

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.

OF ANY JURISDICTION.

IN ANY SUCH COURT.

(d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF

CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH
OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE
BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives

connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

 

133

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

Section 10.17 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents.
The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or
related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation any Assignment
and Assumption, any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers
and consents), amendments or other modifications or Committed Loan Notices)
shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in
electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or
enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or
the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent
and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic
Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic
Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained

any obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any
format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent or such Lender
pursuant to procedures approved by it and provided further without limiting the

Section 10.18 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as
hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf
of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower and each other Loan Party that
pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56
(signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain,
verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and each other Loan
Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and
other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Act. The Borrower
shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or
such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under
applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations,
including the Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

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

 

134

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

Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower
agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to
indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against
such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than
the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such
currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to
return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may
be entitled thereto under applicable law).

Section 10.20 [Reserved].

Section 10.21 Release of Collateral and Loan Parties.

(a) Any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent
under any Loan Document shall automatically be released, terminated and
discharged in full (as used in this Section 10.21 “released”) without the need
for any further action by any Person: (i) upon the payment in full of the
principal of, together with accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Loans and
all other Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are
due and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued
and unpaid interest, are paid (provided that, for all purposes under this
Agreement, deposit by the Borrower of the Lender Claimant Obligation Amount, if
any, into the Lender Claimant Reserve Account pursuant to Section 2.15 shall be
deemed to be payment in full of such amounts), (ii) with respect to any such
Lien, in the event that any asset constituting Collateral is, or is to be,
Disposed of as part of, or in connection with, any transaction not prohibited
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (iii) if approved, authorized or
ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.01.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall, without the need for any further action by
any Lender, subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such
property that is permitted by clause (a), (h) or (j) of the definition of
“Permitted Lien” upon receipt of a certificate of the Borrower certifying that
such subordination is permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents, including
this Section 10.21(b), and all conditions provided in the Loan Documents to the
Administrative Agent’s execution of any documents evidencing such subordination
have been satisfied.

(c) Any Loan Party (other than the Borrower) shall be automatically released
from its obligations under the Guaranty and Collateral Documents upon (i) such
Person ceasing to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted
hereunder or otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof and (ii) written
notice received by the Administrative Agent executed by a Responsible Officer of
the Borrower describing the circumstances giving rise to such claim for release.
In addition, (i) if a Subsidiary Guarantor has become an Excluded Subsidiary or
(ii) if a Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Material Subsidiary, in each case,
as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder or otherwise in accordance with
the terms hereof, then automatically upon the receipt by the Administrative
Agent of written notice from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (providing
sufficient factual detail supporting a claim for release consistent with this
sentence) such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from the Guaranty.

 

135

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

(d) In the case of any release or subordination described in this Section 10.21
the Administrative Agent shall, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver
to the relevant Borrower such documents or evidence of such release or
subordination (or payment in full of the Obligations as described in
Section 10.21(a)(i)) as Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the release
or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security
interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to substantiate its interest

Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or
in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties,
each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA
Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such
liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers
of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and
agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

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

Section 10.24 Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, the liens and security interests securing the
obligations evidenced by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the exercise
of any right or remedy with respect thereto and certain of the rights of the
obligees hereof are subject to the provisions of the Senior Lien Intercreditor
Agreement and in the event of any conflict between the terms of the Senior Lien
Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement or any other Loan Document with
respect to such liens, security interest, rights or remedies, the terms of the

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

In 2003, the Borrower received an information request under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) designating
Parker Drilling Offshore Corporation, a subsidiary of the Borrower, as a
potentially responsible party with respect to the Gulfco Marine Maintenance,
Inc. Superfund Site in Freeport, Texas (EPA No. TX 055144539). The Borrower
responded to this request and in January 2008 received an administrative order
to participate in an investigation of the site and a study of the remediation
needs and alternatives. The EPA alleges that the subsidiary is a successor to a
party who owned the Gulfco site during the time when chemical releases took
place there. In December 2010, the Borrower entered into an agreement with two
other potentially responsible parties (collectively the “Gulfco Group”),
pursuant to which we agreed to pay 20 percent of past and future costs to study
and remediate the site. The Gulfco Group is currently negotiating a site consent
decree with the U.S. Department of Justice and the EPA, including negotiations
concerning the amount the Gulfco Group is willing to reimburse the EPA for its
response costs and the delisting of the Gulfco site’s South Area. In addition,
the EPA issued notice letters to and the Borrower pursued claims against several
other parties seek to compel those parties to participate in funding the site
remediation costs. The Gulfco Group expects to fully resolve such claims once a
final consent decree is agreed upon with the Department of Justice and the EPA.
The Borrower has made certain participating payments and has accrued $850,000
for its portion of certain unreimbursed past costs, estimated EPA oversight
costs and the estimated future site costs.
