assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.

specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation to make
a Loan on such date.

(e) Each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan available to the Borrower by
causing any foreign or domestic branch or affiliate of such Lender to make such
Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation

separate Note of the Borrower in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of such Loans. Each such Note shall be in substantially the
form of Exhibit A hereto with appropriate modifications to reflect the fact that
it evidences solely Loans of the relevant Type. Each reference in this Agreement
to the “Notes” of such Lender shall be deemed to refer to and include any or all
of such Notes, as the context may require.

(b) Each Lender shall record the date, amount, Type and maturity of each Loan
made by it and the date and amount of each payment of principal made with
respect thereto, and may, if such Lender so elects in connection with any
transfer or enforcement of its Note, endorse on the schedule forming a part
thereof appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect
to each such Loan then outstanding; provided that the failure of any Lender to
make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the
Borrower hereunder or under the Notes. Each Lender is hereby irrevocably
authorized by the Borrower so to endorse its Notes and to attach to and make a
part of any Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.

of such Interest Period) with a term equivalent to such Interest Period in
Dollars, determined as of approximately 11:00 a.m. (London, England time), two
Euro-Currency Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period,
or (ii) in the event the rate referenced in the preceding clause (i) does not
appear on such page or service or if such page or service shall cease to be
available, the rate determined by the Administrative Agent (in a manner
consistent with such determination generally under other credit facilities under

Period in Dollars, determined as of approximately 11:00 a.m. (London, England
time) two Euro-Currency Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest
Period; provided that if LIBO Rates are quoted under either of the preceding
clauses (i) or (ii), but there is no such quotation for the Interest Period

Euro-Currency Loan.

(c) Any overdue principal of or interest on any Euro-Currency Loan shall bear
interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the date payment
thereof was due to but excluding the date of actual payment, at a rate per annum
equal to the sum of 2% plus the higher of (i) the sum of the Euro-Currency
Margin for such day plus the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Loan on the day
before such payment was due and (ii) the Euro-Currency Margin for such day plus
the quotient obtained (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of
1%) by dividing (x) the average (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of
1%) of the respective rates per annum at which one day (or, if such amount due
remains unpaid more than three Euro-Currency Business Days, then for such other
period of time not longer than six months as the Administrative Agent may
select) deposits in Dollars in an amount approximately equal to such overdue
payment are offered by the Administrative Agent in the London interbank market
for the applicable period determined as provided above by (y) 1.00 minus the
Euro-Currency Reserve Percentage.

the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the consummation of a specific
transaction, in which case such notice may be rescinded by the Borrower (by
notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date)
if such condition is not satisfied subject to Section 2.12) at its Minneapolis
Office not later than 10:30 A.M. (New York City time) on any Domestic Business
Day for prepayment on that date of any Group of Loans consisting of Base Rate
Loans or the third Euro-Currency Business Day before the date of prepayment of

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

Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share
of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the respective
accounts of the Lenders. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on,
the Base Rate Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic
Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding Domestic Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or
interest on, the Euro-Currency Loans shall be due on a day which is not a
Euro-Currency Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to
the next succeeding Euro-Currency Business Day unless such Euro-Currency
Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment
thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Currency Business Day. If the date for
any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest
thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower
prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the
Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume
that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on
such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption,
cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the
amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not
have so made such payment, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with
interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such
Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative
Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

(c) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it
pursuant to Section 2.03(b), 2.11(b), or 7.06 and has not cured the payment
within two Domestic Business Days, then the Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any
amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to satisfy such Lender’s
obligations to it under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are
fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash
collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such
Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii)
above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.
Such cash collateral shall be returned to the Lender (x) if such Lender is a
Defaulting Lender, once it ceases to be a Defaulting Lender or (y) upon
termination of this Agreement; provided that, in each of clause (x) and (y), the
Lender has made all payments required to be made hereunder.

Section 2.12. Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of principal

a Base Rate Loan (pursuant to Article 2, 6 or 8 or otherwise) on any day other
than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or the last day of
an applicable period fixed pursuant to Section 2.06(c), or if the Borrower fails
to borrow, prepay, convert or continue any Euro-Currency Loans after notice has
been given to any Lender in accordance with Section 2.03(a), 2.10(b) or 2.15
(and in the case of a notice given to any Lender in accordance with
Section 2.10(b), regardless of whether such notice is conditional and such
condition fails to occur), the Borrower shall reimburse each Lender within 15
days after demand for any resulting loss or expense reasonably incurred by it
(or by an existing or prospective Participant in the related Loan) in obtaining,
liquidating or employing deposits or other funds from third parties, but
excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or conversion or
failure to borrow, prepay, convert or continue; provided that such Lender shall
have delivered to the Borrower a certificate specifying in reasonable detail the
calculation of, and the reasons for, the amount of such loss or expense, which
certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of clearly demonstrable error.

Section 2.13. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest calculated on the basis
of the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366
days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including
the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and fees shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of
days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

Section 2.14. Regulation D Compensation. Each Lender may require the Borrower to
pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on the Euro-Currency Loans,
additional interest on the related Euro-Currency Loan of such Lender at a rate
per annum determined by such Lender up to but not exceeding the excess of
(i) (A) the applicable Eurodollar Rate divided by (B) one minus the
Euro-Currency Reserve Percentage over (ii) the applicable Eurodollar Rate. Any
Lender wishing to require payment of such additional interest (x) shall so
notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in which case such additional
interest on the Euro-Currency Loans of such Lender shall be payable to such
Lender at the place indicated in such notice with respect to each Interest
Period commencing at least three Euro-Currency Business Days after the giving of
such notice, and (y) shall notify the Borrower at least five Euro-Currency

Section 2.15. Method of Electing Interest Rates.

(a) The Loans included in each Borrowing shall initially be of the Type
specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the
Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the Type of each such
Group of Loans (subject to subsection 2.15(d) of this Section and the provisions
of Article 8), as follows:

(i) if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such
Loans to Euro-Currency Loans as of any Euro-Currency Business Day; and

(ii) if such Loans are Euro-Currency Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert
such Loans to Base Rate Loans or elect to continue such Loans as Euro-Currency
Loans for an additional Interest Period, subject to Section 2.12 if any such
conversion is effective on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period
applicable to such Loans.

Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a “Notice of Interest
Rate Election”) to the Administrative Agent at its Minneapolis Office not later
than 10:30 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Euro-Currency Business Day
before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be
effective. A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to
only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans;
provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising
such Group of Loans and (ii) the portion to which such Notice of Interest Rate
Election applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each
in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $10,000,000 (unless such
portion is comprised of Base Rate Loans). If no such notice is timely received
before the end of an Interest Period for any Group of Loans consisting of
Euro-Currency Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that such
Group of Loans be converted to Base Rate Loans at the end of such Interest
Period.

(b) Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:

(i) the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;

(ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is
to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of
Section 2.15(a) above;

(iii) if the Loans comprising such Group of Loans are to be converted, the new
Type of Loans and, if the Loans resulting from such conversion are to be
Euro-Currency Loans, the duration of the next succeeding Interest Period
applicable thereto; and

(iv) if such Loans are to be continued as Euro-Currency Loans for an additional
Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period.

 

26

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

Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall
comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

(c) Promptly after receiving a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the
Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall notify
each Lender of the contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter be
revocable by the Borrower.

(d) The Borrower shall not be entitled to elect to convert any Loans to, or
continue any Loans for an additional Interest Period as, Euro-Currency Loans if
(i) the aggregate principal amount of any Group of Loans consisting of
Euro-Currency Loans created or continued as a result of such election would be
less than $10,000,000 or (ii) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing
when the Borrower delivers notice of such election to the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.18. Judgment Currency. If, under any applicable law and whether
pursuant to a judgment being made or registered against the Borrower or for any
other reason, any payment under or in connection with this Agreement is made or
satisfied in a currency (the “Other Currency”) other than that in which the
relevant payment is due (the “Required Currency”) then, to the extent that the
payment (when converted into the Required Currency at the rate of exchange on
the date of payment or, if it is not practicable for the party entitled thereto
(the “Payee”) to purchase the Required Currency with the Other Currency on the
date of payment, at the rate of exchange as soon thereafter as it is practicable
for it to do so) actually received by the Payee falls short of the amount due
under the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower shall, to the extent permitted
by law, as a separate and independent obligation, indemnify and hold harmless
the Payee against the amount of such short-fall. For the purpose of this
Section, “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Payee is able on the
relevant date to purchase the Required Currency with the Other Currency and

with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Section 7.02. Administrative Agent and Affiliates. U.S. Bank National
Association shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any
other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it
were not the Administrative Agent, and U.S. Bank National Association and its
affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any
kind of business with the Borrower or any Consolidated Subsidiary or affiliate
of the Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent.

Section 7.03. Action by Administrative Agent. The obligations of the
Administrative Agent hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall
not be required to take any action with respect to any Default, except as
expressly provided in Article 6.

Section 7.04. Consultation with Experts. The Administrative Agent shall not be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the advice of legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it.

Section 7.05. Liability of Administrative Agent. Neither the Administrative
Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers,
agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in
connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required

misconduct.

 

42

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

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their
respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or
have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty
or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any Borrowing
hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or
agreements of the Borrower; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in

the proper party or parties.

Section 7.06. Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its
undrawn Commitment and Loans, indemnify the Administrative Agent, its affiliates
and its directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed

disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result
from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct as found by a
final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) that such
indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Agreement or any action
taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder or thereunder.

Section 7.07. Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other

Agreement.

Section 7.08. Successor Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and
acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph,
the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof
to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders
shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower so long as no Event of
Default exists under clauses (a), (h) or (i) of Section 6.01, to appoint a
successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have
been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such
appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice

bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of
any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation

by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. 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 any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as
Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit
as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative

ARTICLE 8

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

Section 8.01. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or
prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Euro-Currency Loan:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not
exist for determining the applicable Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period,
or

(b) Lenders having more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the undrawn
Commitments and Loans advise the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate
as determined by the Administrative Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect
the cost to such Lenders of funding their Euro-Currency Loans for such Interest
Period,

the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and
the Lenders, whereupon, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower
that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (which the
Administrative Agent shall do promptly after becoming aware thereof), (i) the
obligations of the Lenders to make Euro-Currency Loans, or to continue or
convert outstanding Loans as or into Euro-Currency Loans, shall be suspended and
(ii) each outstanding Euro-Currency Loan shall be prepaid (or converted into a
Base Rate Loan) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable
thereto. Unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least one
Domestic Business Day before the date of any Euro-Currency Borrowing for which a
Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on
such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

 

44

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

Section 8.02. Illegality. If a Change in Law shall make it unlawful or
impossible for any Lender (or its Euro-Currency Lending Office) to make,
maintain or fund its Euro-Currency Loans to the Borrower and such Lender shall
so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith
give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon until such
Lender notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances
giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (which notice such Lender shall
give promptly after such circumstances cease to exist), the obligation of such
Lender to make Euro-Currency Loans to the Borrower shall be suspended. Before
giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.02,
such Lender shall designate a different Euro-Currency Lending Office if such
designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the
judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
If such notice is given, each affected Euro-Currency Loan of such Lender then
outstanding shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan either (a) on the last day of
the then current Interest Period applicable to such Euro-Currency Loan if such
Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan as a Euro-Currency
Loan to such day or (b) immediately if such Lender shall determine that it may
not lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan as a Euro-Currency Loan to
such day.

Section 8.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a) If a Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve
(including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any
Euro-Currency Loan any such requirement with respect to which such Lender is
entitled to compensation during the relevant Interest Period under
Section 2.14), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by,
such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Lender (or
its Applicable Lending Office) or on the London interbank market any other
condition affecting its Euro-Currency Loans (other than with respect to taxes),
its Note(s) or its obligation to make Euro-Currency Loans and the result of any
of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable
Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Euro-Currency Loan, or to reduce
the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable
Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Note(s) with respect thereto,
by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, within 15 days after
demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower
shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

 

45

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

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that a Change in Law (other than with
respect to taxes) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on
capital or liquidity of such Lender (or its Lender Parent) as a consequence of
such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender (or
its Lender Parent) could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an
amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 15
days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the
Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender (or its Lender Parent) for such reduction.

(c) If after the date of this Agreement, a Change in Law shall subject any
Lender to any taxes (other than (i) Taxes imposed on or with respect to any
payment made by the Borrower hereunder or under any Notes and (ii) Excluded
Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its
deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the
result shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any
Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the
amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of
principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(d) Each Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, and/or
any Change in Law which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to
this Section 8.03 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if
such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such
compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise
materially disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of any Lender claiming
compensation under this Section 8.03 and setting forth the additional amount or
amounts to be paid to it hereunder and the calculation of such amount or amounts
in reasonable detail shall be delivered to the Borrower contemporaneously with
any demand for payment hereunder and shall be conclusive in the absence of
clearly demonstrable error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any
reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant
to this Section 8.03 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to
demand such compensation, as the case may be; provided that the Borrower shall
not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 8.03 for any
increased costs or reductions incurred more than 120 days prior to the date that
such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim
compensation therefor and of the amount of such compensation; provided further
that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is
retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

 

46

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

(f) No Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 8.03 unless
such Lender certifies in writing to the Borrower that it is making corresponding
demands on similarly situated borrowers in comparable credit facilities to which
such Lender is a party.

(g) This Section 8.03 (i) shall not entitle any Lender to compensation in
respect of any Excluded Taxes, (ii) shall not apply to (A) Taxes for which the
Borrower is required to provide indemnification under Section 8.04 or (B) Other
Taxes, it being understood that Taxes and Other Taxes shall be governed by
Section 8.04, and (iii) shall not relieve any Lender of any obligation pursuant
to Section 8.04.

Section 8.04. Taxes.

(a) Except as required by applicable law, any and all payments by the Borrower
to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or
under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and
all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or
withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, (i) in the
case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on or measured
by its net income, and franchise, branch profits or similar taxes, in each case,
(x) imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or
the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political
subdivision thereof or (y) that are Other Connection Taxes, (ii) in the case of
each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, and franchise,
branch profits or similar taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such
Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof,
(iii) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA and (iv) any
withholding tax on payments of interest made or similar income made or ascribed
by a paying agent established in Luxembourg to or for the immediate benefit of a
Luxembourg resident individual in accordance with the Luxembourg laws of
December 23, 2005 (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to
as its “Taxes”, and all such excluded taxes being hereinafter referred to as its
“Excluded Taxes”). If the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (the “Withholding
Agent”) shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any
sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or the Administrative
Agent, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so
that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 8.04) such Lender or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Withholding
Agent shall make such

 

47

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

deductions, (iii) such Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to
the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable
law and (iv) if the Withholding Agent is the Borrower, the Borrower shall
furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in
Section 11.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment
thereof, or other evidence reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

(b) A payment shall not be increased under Section 8.04(a) above by reason of a
deduction or withholding of any Tax imposed by Ireland from any such payment,
where on the date on which the payment falls due the payment could have been
made to the relevant Lender or Participant, as the case may be, without any such
deduction or withholding if the Lender or Participant, as the case may be, had
been a Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender or Participant, as the
case may be, is not or has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender other than as a
result of any change after the date it became a Lender or Participant, as the
case may be, under this Agreement in (or in the interpretations, administration
or application of) any law or published practice of published concession of any
relevant taxing authority.

(c) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or
documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, or charges or similar
levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the
execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any
Note, except any Luxembourg registration duties (droits d’enregistrement) and/or
stamp duties (droits de timbre) payable in the case of voluntary registration,
submission or filing of any document with respect to this Agreement or any Note
with the Administration de l’Enregistrement des Domaines in Luxembourg, which
shall mean that such registration, submission or filing is (i) not mandatory or
(ii) not required to maintain, defend or preserve the rights of a party under
any document with respect to this Agreement or any Note (hereinafter referred to
as “Other Taxes”).

(d) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent
for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable
under this Section 8.04) paid or payable by such Lender or the Administrative
Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided, the Borrower
shall not be obligated to indemnify any party hereunder pursuant to this Section
for penalties, interest or similar liabilities arising therefrom or with respect
thereto to the extent such penalties, interest or similar liabilities are
attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct by such party. In
addition, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each
Lender for all Excluded Taxes and any liability (including penalties, interest
and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each

 

48

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

case to the extent that such Excluded Taxes result from any payment or
indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.04(d) for Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed by any jurisdiction other than the United States, Ireland or Luxembourg.
This indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date such Lender or
the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor.

(e) An indemnity payment shall not be payable under Section 8.04(d) above with
respect to any Tax imposed by Ireland and assessed on a Lender or Participant,
as the case may be, to the extent that Tax:

(i) is compensated for by an increased payment under Section 8.04(a); or

(ii) would have been compensated for by an increased payment under
Section 8.04(a) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions
in Section 8.04(b) applied.

(f) Any Lender or Participant, as the case may be, that is entitled to an
exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made
under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation, or
information, reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as
will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of
withholding, or evidence entitlement to exemption from or reduction of
withholding tax. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, or information reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine
whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup
withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and
submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the
following clauses of this Section 8.04) shall not be required if in the Lender’s
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.

(g) Without limiting the foregoing, at the times indicated herein, each Lender
organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall
provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with executed originals of
Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY (accompanied by a form
W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-9 and other certification documents from each
beneficial owner, as applicable) or W-8ECI (in each case accompanied

 

49

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

by any statements which may be required under applicable Treasury regulations),
as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service. Such forms shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive
payments under this Agreement (i) without deduction or withholding of any United
States federal income taxes or (ii) subject to a reduced rate of United States
federal withholding tax, unless, in each case of clause (i) and (ii) of this
Section 8.04(g), an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty,
law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery
would otherwise be required which renders such forms inapplicable or which would
prevent the Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with
respect to it and the Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or
withholding of such taxes. Such forms shall be provided (x) on or prior to the
date of the Lender’s execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of
each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof, and on or prior to the date on
which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and (y) on or before
the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of
any event requiring a change in the most recent form so delivered by the Lender.
If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party
to this Agreement indicates a United States or Irish interest withholding tax
rate in excess of zero, United States or Irish withholding tax at such rate
shall be considered excluded from “Taxes” as defined in Section 8.04(a), unless
the assignor of such Lender was entitled, at the time of such assignment, to
receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such withholding
taxes pursuant to Section 8.04(a). In addition, to the extent that for reasons
other than a change of treaty, law or regulation any Lender becomes subject to
an increased rate of United States or Irish interest withholding tax while it is
a party to this Agreement, United States or Irish withholding tax at such
increased rate shall be considered excluded from “Taxes” as defined in
Section 8.04(a).

(h) Any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of
Internal Revenue Service form W-9 certifying, to the extent such Lender is
legally entitled to do so, that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup
withholding tax.

(i) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to
U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to
comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those
contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as
applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times
reasonably

 

50

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

requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation
prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by
Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with
its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not
complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount
to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purposes of this
Section 8.04(i), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the
date of this Agreement, whether or not included in the definition of FATCA.

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

(k) Each Lender, on or prior to the date it becomes a party hereto, shall inform
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent whether it is a Qualifying Lender by
completing and providing to the Administrative Agent and Borrower a Qualifying
Lender Confirmation. Each Lender party hereto as of the Closing Date hereby
confirms to the Borrower that such Lender is a Qualifying Lender, and the
Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that no such Lender shall be required to
complete or provide such Qualifying Lender Confirmation. Each Lender shall upon
reasonable written request from the Borrower or Administrative Agent provide an
updated Qualifying Lender Confirmation.

(l) If the Lender fails to provide a Qualifying Lender Confirmation in
accordance with Section 8.04(k) above, then that Lender shall be treated for the
purposes of this Agreement (including by the Borrower) as if it is not a
Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Borrower which category
applies. Each Lender, upon reasonable written request from the Borrower from
time to time shall, if applicable, provide such information as may be required
to enable the Borrower to comply with Sections 891A, 891E, 891F and 891G TCA
(and any regulations made thereunder).

(m) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the
Borrower with the appropriate form or information in accordance with this
Section 8.04 (unless such failure is excused by the terms of this Section 8.04),
such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 8.04
with respect to Taxes imposed as a result of such Lender’s failure to provide
such form or information; provided, however, that should a Lender, which is
otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become
subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form or information
required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall
reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

 

51

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

(n) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes
and Excluded Taxes (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already
indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and Excluded Taxes and
without limiting the obligation, if any, of the Borrower to do so), in each case
attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent
in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 15
days from the date the Administrative Agent makes demand therefor.

(o) Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.04 shall survive 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 under any Loan Document.

(p) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion,
that it has received a refund of any Taxes, Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the
Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay over
such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or
additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the
Taxes, Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses with respect to such refund of 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 the
Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to
repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or
other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or
such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
This Section 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 which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

Section 8.05. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Euro-Currency Loans. If
(i) the obligation of any Lender to make, or to continue or convert outstanding
Loans as or to, Euro-Currency Loans to the Borrower has been suspended pursuant
to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 8.03
or 8.04 with respect to its Euro-Currency Loans and the Borrower shall, by at
least five Euro-Currency Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender through the
Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall
apply to such Lender, then, unless and until such Lender notifies the Borrower
that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation
no longer exist, all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as (or
continued as or converted to) Euro-Currency Loans to the Borrower shall instead
be Base Rate Loans on which

 

52

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

interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related
Euro-Currency Loans of the other Lenders. If such Lender notifies the Borrower
that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation
no longer exist, the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan shall be
converted into a Euro-Currency Loan on the first day of the next succeeding
Interest Period applicable to the related Euro-Currency Loans of the other
Lenders.

Section 8.06. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender
requests compensation (or provides notice of an intent to request compensation)
under Section 8.03, 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 8.04, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to
designate a different Applicable 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 8.03 or 8.04, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not
subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise
be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay
all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any
such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender or its Participant requests compensation (or provides notice
of an intent to request compensation) under Section 8.03, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or its Participant or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or its Participant pursuant
to Section 8.04, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or invokes
Section 8.02, or if any Lender shall refuse to consent to any waiver, amendment
or other modification that would otherwise require such Lender’s consent but to
which the Required Lenders have consented, or if the credit (or similar) rating
of any Lender (or a Lender Parent thereof) by one or more of S&P, Moody’s, Fitch
or any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization shall at any
time be lower than BBB/Baa2/BBB (or the equivalent), or if, as to any Lender,
such Lender and Lender Parent thereof shall at any time have no credit (or
similar) rating in effect by at least one such organization, 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
Section 11.06), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement
to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower
shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued
interest

 

53

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

thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, 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) and (iii) in the case
of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 8.03 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 8.04, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.

appointment shall be irrevocable until all obligations under the Loan Documents

agent shall cease so to act, the Borrower covenants and agrees to designate
irrevocably and appoint without delay another such agent reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent and to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent
evidence in writing of such other agent’s acceptance of such appointment.

Section 11.02. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any

thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall
be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

 

55

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

Section 11.03. Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) The Borrower shall reimburse (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger (including due
diligence expenses, syndication expenses, travel expenses and reasonable fees,
charges and disbursements of one firm of counsel for the Administrative Agent
and the Lead Arranger (and if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in any
relevant jurisdiction) and, solely in the case of an actual or potential
conflict of interest, of one additional counsel (and, if reasonably necessary,
one additional local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction)) incurred in
connection with the preparation of this Agreement and any related documentation
or the administration, amendment, modification or waiver hereof or thereof and
(ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, including the
fees and disbursements of one firm of counsel (and if reasonably necessary, one
local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction) and, solely in the case of an actual
or potential conflict of interest, of one additional counsel (and, if reasonably
necessary, one additional local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction) in
connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and
other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, the
Administrative Agent and each of their respective affiliates and their
respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, and agents (each, an
“Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and
liabilities (including Environmental Liabilities) to which any such Indemnified
Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with the Loan
Documents, the use of the proceeds of Loans hereunder or any related transaction
or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto and
regardless of whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any of its
affiliates (any of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”), and to reimburse each
Indemnified Person upon demand for any reasonable and documented legal or other
expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the
foregoing; provided that (i) the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any
Indemnified Person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related
expenses (A) to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of
a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the bad faith, willful
misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person or any of its Related
Persons, (B) to the extent resulting from any Proceeding that does not involve
an act or omission of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries or any of
their respective

 

56

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

affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnified Person solely against another
Indemnified Person, other than claims against any Lender or the Lead Arranger or
the Administrative Agent in its capacity in fulfilling its role as an agent or
arranger under the Loan Documents, in each case as found by a final,
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (C) to the
extent resulting from a material breach by such Indemnified Person or any
Related Person thereof of its obligations under the Loan Documents as found by a
final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. No
Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by
others of information or other materials obtained through electronic,
telecommunications or other information transmission systems (other than for
direct or actual damages resulting from the bad faith, gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or any Related Person thereof to
the extent found by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction), it being understood that the use of electronic telecommunications
or other information transmission systems will not itself constitute bad faith,
gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Indemnified Person shall be liable
for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with
the Loan Documents. For purposes hereof, a “Related Person” of an Indemnified
Person means (a) any controlling person, controlled affiliate or subsidiary of
such Indemnified Person, (b) the respective directors, officers or employees of
such Indemnified Person or any of its subsidiaries, controlled affiliates or
controlling persons and (c) the respective agents and advisors of such
Indemnified Person or any of its subsidiaries, controlled affiliates or
controlling persons; provided, that each reference to a controlled affiliate,
controlling person, director, officer or employee in this sentence pertains to a
controlled affiliate, controlling person, director, officer or employee involved
in the negotiation of the Loan Documents. The Borrower shall not be liable to
the Administrative Agent, Lead Arranger or any Indemnified Person for any
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Loan
Documents; provided that this sentence shall not limit the Borrower’s
indemnification obligations as set forth in this paragraph.

Section 11.04. Sharing of Set-offs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, by
exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of
a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect
to the Loans held by it which is greater than the proportion received by any
other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due
with respect to the Loans held by such other Lender, the Lender receiving such
proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Loans
held by the other Lenders, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be
required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the
Loans held by the Lenders shall be shared by the Lenders pro rata; provided that
nothing in this Section 11.04 shall impair the right of any Lender or its
affiliates

 

57

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

to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the
amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower
other than its indebtedness hereunder. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest
extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a
participation in the Loans, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights
with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation
were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 11.05. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or the
Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in
writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (and, if the
rights or duties of the Administrative Agent are affected thereby, by it);
provided that no such amendment or waiver shall:

(a) unless signed by each directly affected Lender, (i) increase or extend the
Commitment of any Lender, (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on
any Loan or any interest thereon or any fees hereunder (other than any amendment
or waiver with respect to the application of any default rate of interest),
(iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any
Loan or interest thereon or any fees hereunder or for termination of any
Commitment, (iv) [reserved] or (v) modify the right of a Lender to receive a pro
rata share of payments as provided herein; or

(b) unless signed by all the Lenders, change the definition of “Required
Lenders” or the provisions of this Section 11.05.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, technical and conforming modifications to the
Loan Documents may be made with the consent of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (but without the consent of any Lender) to the extent
necessary to cure any ambiguity, omission, error, defect or inconsistency.

Section 11.06. Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of
its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all
Lenders.

(b) Any Lender may at any time grant to one or more Persons (other than a
natural Person or a Disqualified Institution) (each a “Participant”)
participating interests in its Commitment and/or any or all of its Loans. In the
event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a
Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its
obligations hereunder,

 

58

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

and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and/or
obligations hereunder. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such
a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder
including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification
or waiver of any provision hereof; provided that such participation agreement
may provide that such Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or
waiver of this Agreement described in clause (a) of Section 11.05 without the
consent of the Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to
the extent provided in its participation agreement and subject to
Section 11.06(e) below, be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 and Article
8 (other than Section 8.01 and Section 8.02) with respect to its participating
interest. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection
11.06(c), 11.06(d) or 11.06(f) below shall be given effect for purposes of this
Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance
with this subsection 11.06(b). Each Lender that sells a participation shall,
acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower,
maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant
and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest
in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant
Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or
any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of
any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any
commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to
the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment,
loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the
United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register
shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable 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
shall be under no obligation to maintain any Participation Register in its
capacity as administrative agent hereunder. Each Lender that sells a
participation pursuant to this Section 11 shall notify the Administrative Agent
of the amount of the principal amounts of each such Participant’s participation
interest with respect to such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement and shall obtain a Qualifying Lender Confirmation, completed and
signed by or on behalf of the Participant, and shall procure an undertaking from
the Participant that it will comply with the provisions of subclauses (k) and
(l) of Section 8.04 as if it were a Lender.

(c) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more banks or other institutions
other than a Disqualified Institution (each an “Assignee”) all, or a
proportionate part (equivalent to an initial Commitment of not less than
$10,000,000) of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the

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

Notes, and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to
an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit G
hereto executed by such Assignee and such transferor Lender, with (and subject
to) the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default
exists under clauses (a), (h) or (i) of Section 6.01, the Borrower, such
consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that (i) if an
Assignee is a Lender Affiliate of such transferor Lender or was a Lender
immediately prior to such assignment, no such consent of the Borrower shall be
required and (ii) 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 15 Domestic Business Days after having received
notice thereof. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by
such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price
agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be
a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations
of a Lender with a Commitment and/or Loan as set forth in such instrument of
assumption, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations
hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any
party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to
this subsection, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, new Notes are
issued to the Assignee. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor
Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for
processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500. The Administrative Agent,
acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain at one of its offices in New York a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption Agreement 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 clearly demonstrative error, and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for
all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection
by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time
upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under
this Agreement and its Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank (or other central bank
having jurisdiction over such Lender). No such assignment shall release the
transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(e) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Lender’s rights shall be
entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 or 8.04 than such
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights
transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Borrower’s prior written
consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.02, 8.03 or 8.04 requiring
such Lender to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain
circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater
payment did not exist.

 

60

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

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.06,
but subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this subsection (f), any
Lender may from time to time, elect to designate a Conduit to provide all or any
part of any Loan required to be made by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement
or to acquire a participation interest in any Loans extended by such Lender
hereunder (a “Conduit Designation”), provided the designation of a Conduit by
any Lender for purposes of this Section 11.06(f) shall be subject to the
approval of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. No
additional Note shall be required with regard to a Conduit Designation;
provided, however, to the extent any Conduit shall advance funds under a Conduit
Designation, the designating Lender shall be deemed to hold the Note in its
possession as an administrative agent for such Conduit to the extent of the Loan
funded by such Conduit. Notwithstanding any such Conduit Designation, (x) the
designating Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto
for its obligations under this Agreement and (y) the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with the
designating Lender as Administrative Agent for such designating Lender’s
Conduit, in connection with all of such Conduit’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, unless and until the Borrower and the Administrative Agent are
notified that the designating Lender has been replaced as Administrative Agent
for its Conduit; any payments for the benefit of any designating Lender and its
Conduit shall be paid to such designating Lender for itself as Administrative
Agent for its Conduit, as applicable; provided neither the Administrative Agent
nor the Borrower shall be responsible for any designating Lender’s application
of any such payments. In addition, any Conduit may (i) with notice to, but
without the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and without
paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or portions of its interest in
any Loans to the Lender that designated such Conduit or to any financial
institutions consented to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent providing
liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such Conduit to
support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential
basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency,
commercial paper dealer or provider of any guarantee, surety, credit or
liquidity enhancement to such Conduit.

(g) Each party to this Agreement hereby agrees that, at any time a Conduit
Designation is in effect, it shall not institute against, or join any other
person in instituting against, any Conduit any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other proceedings under any
federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and a day after the
latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit is paid. This
Section 11.06(g) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

61

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

Section 11.07. Collateral. Each of the Lenders represents to the Administrative
Agent and each of the other Lenders that it in good faith is not relying upon
any Margin Stock as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit
provided for in this Agreement.

Section 11.08. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and
each Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York. The Borrower and each Lender hereby submits, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any
New York State court sitting in New York City for purposes of all legal
proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions.
The Borrower and each Lender irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the
venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such
proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 11.09. Counterparts; Integration; Severability. This Agreement may be
signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with
the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same
instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding
among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Any
provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

Section 11.10. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND
THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS.

Section 11.11. Confidentiality.

(a) The Lenders agree not to disclose, directly or indirectly, any information
obtained from or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its respective Subsidiaries
or affiliates in connection with this Agreement and will keep such information
confidential; provided that (i) each Lender may use, retain and

 

62

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

disclose any such information to its affiliates, and its and its affiliates’
directors, officers, agents, employees, insurance brokers, counsel, public
accountants, direct or indirect providers of credit protection, any Assignees,
Participants, potential Assignees and Participants (each, a “Permitted Party”)
and any governmental agency or instrumentality or other supervisory body
requesting such disclosure, provided that any Permitted Party shall have agreed
to keep such information confidential in accordance with this Section 11.11,
(ii) each Lender may use, retain and disclose any such information which has
been publicly disclosed (other than by such Lender or any Lender Affiliate
thereof in breach of this Section 11.11), and (iii) to the extent that such
Lender may have received a subpoena or other legal demand for such information,
such Lender may disclose such information; provided that such Lender shall
notify the Borrower of such demand (to the extent permitted by law and as
promptly as practicable) and shall cooperate with the Borrower, at the
Borrower’s expense, to take actions necessary to obtain a protective order
limiting the scope of the demand and the use and disclosure of such information.
In the event a Lender has not entered into a confidentiality agreement with a
Permitted Party containing provisions substantially similar to those in this
Section 11.11(a) with the Borrower as an express intended beneficiary, such
Lender shall remain responsible for compliance by such Permitted Parties with
the provisions of this Section 11.11(a).

(b) The parties hereby agree that, from the commencement of discussions with
respect to the Transactions, each party (and each employee, representative or
other agent of such party) may disclose to any and all persons, without
limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure (as such terms are
used in Sections 6011, 6111 and 6112 of the Internal Revenue Code and the
Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) of the Transactions and all
materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are
provided to such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, other
than any information for which nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to
comply with applicable securities laws.

Section 11.12. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that
pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56
(signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain,
verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information
includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will
allow such Lender, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. The
Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent
(including any such request on behalf of any Lender), provide all documentation
and other information that the Administrative Agent (or such Lender) reasonably
requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know
your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the
Act.

their respective affiliates or any other person or entity.

accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
