such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Borrowing, at the end
of the then current Interest Period.

(b)    Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable
changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time
specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member
state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices
relating to the Euro.

thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount

2.02    Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a)    Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and
each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the applicable
Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the applicable Agent, which may be given by:
(A) telephone or (B) a Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be
confirmed immediately by delivery to the applicable Agent of a Loan Notice. Each
such notice must be received by the applicable Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.
(i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of, Eurodollar Rate Loans denominated in Dollars
or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans denominated in Dollars to Base
Rate Loans, (ii) four Business Days (or five Business Days in the case of a
Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies and
(iii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Canadian
Prime Rate Loans. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar
Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of the Dollar Equivalent of $2,000,000
or a whole multiple of the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or
conversion to Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall be in a
principal amount of the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of

be a Domestic Revolving A Borrowing, a Canadian Revolving Borrowing, a Borrowing
of Designated Borrower Revolving Loans, a Borrowing of the Term Loan or a
Borrowing of the Incremental Term Loan, (ii) whether the applicable Borrower is
requesting

51

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

 

a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation
of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (iii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion
or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) the
principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (v) the Type
of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, (vi) if
applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vii)
the currency of the Loans to be borrowed. If the applicable Borrower fails to
specify a currency in a Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing of Revolving Loans,
then the Revolving Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars (or, in the case
of Canadian Revolving Loans, Canadian Dollars). If the applicable Borrower fails
to specify a Type of a Loan in a Loan Notice or if the applicable Borrower fails
to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the
applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans (or, in the
case of Canadian Revolving Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans); provided, however,
that in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Revolving
Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, such Loans shall be continued as
Eurodollar Rate Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one
month. Any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans
shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with
respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the applicable Borrower
requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans
in any Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed
to have specified an Interest Period of one month. No Revolving Loan may be
converted into or continued as a Revolving Loan denominated in a different
currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Revolving
Loan and then reborrowed in the other currency.

(b)    Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the applicable Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable
Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by
the applicable Borrower, the applicable Agent shall notify each Lender of the
details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate
Loans, or continuation of Revolving Loans denominated in a currency other than
Dollars or Canadian Dollars, in each case, as described in the preceding
subsection. In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its
Loan available to the applicable Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative
Agent’s Office or the Canadian Administrative Agent’s Office, as applicable, for
the applicable currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of any Revolving
Loan denominated in Dollars, any Canadian Revolving Loan or the Term Loan, and
not later than the Applicable Time specified by the applicable Agent in the case
of any Revolving Loan in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Business
Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable
conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial
Credit Extension, Section 5.01), the applicable Agent shall make all funds so
received available to the applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the
Administrative Agent either at the option of the applicable Borrower by (i)
crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the
amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in
accordance with instructions provided to (and acceptable to) the applicable
Agent by such Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date of a Borrowing
of Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding,
then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in
full of any such L/C Borrowings and second, shall be made available to such
Borrower as provided above.

(c)    Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be
continued or converted only on the last day of the Interest Period for such
Eurodollar Rate Loan. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, no Loans (other than Alternative Currency Loans)

52

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

 

may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without
the consent of the Required Lenders.

(d)    The applicable Agent shall promptly notify PRA and the Lenders of the
interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon
determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are
outstanding, the applicable Agent shall notify PRA and the Lenders of any change
in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate, or the
Canadian Prime Rate, as applicable, promptly following the public announcement
of such change.

(e)    After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one
Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall
not be more than 12 Interest Periods in effect with respect to all Loans.

(f)    PRA may at any time after the FifthSeventh Amendment Effective Date and
from time to time, upon prior written notice by PRA to the Administrative Agent,
increase the Commitments (but not the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing
Line Sublimit) in an aggregate amount not to exceed, $125,000,000.

(i)    Increase in Aggregate Domestic Revolving A Commitments. PRA may, at any
time and from time to time, upon prior written notice by PRA to the
Administrative Agent increase the Aggregate Domestic Revolving A Commitments
(but not the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit) with
additional Domestic Revolving A Commitments from any existing Lender with a
Domestic Revolving A Commitment or new Domestic Revolving A Commitments from any
other Person selected by PRA and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent and the L/C Issuer; provided that:

(A)    any such increase shall be in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000
and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, or such other
integral amount as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable
discretion;

(B)    no Default or Event of Default shall exist and be continuing at the time
of any such increase;

(C)    no existing Lender shall be under any obligation to increase its
Commitment and any such decision whether to increase its Commitment shall be in
such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion;

(D)    (1) any new Lender shall join this Agreement by executing such joinder
documents reasonably required by the Administrative Agent and/or (2) any
existing Lender electing to increase its Commitment shall have executed a
commitment agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and as
a condition precedent to such increase, PRA shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the date of such increase
signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (1) certifying and attaching
the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such
increase, and (2) in the case of PRA, certifying that, before and after giving
effect to such increase, (x) the representations and warranties contained in
Article VI and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material
respects on and as of the date of such increase, except to the extent that

53

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

 

such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in
which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier
date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.02(f), the representations
and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 6.05 shall be
deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a)
and (b), respectively, of Section 7.01, and (y) no Default or Event of Default
exists; and

(E)    Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed revised to include any increase in the
Aggregate Domestic Revolving A Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.02(f)(i)
and to include thereon any Person that becomes a Lender pursuant to this Section
2.02(f)(i).

(ii)    Increase in Canadian Revolving Commitments. The Canadian Borrower may,
at any time and from time to time, upon prior written notice by the Canadian
Borrower to the Canadian Administrative Agent increase the Aggregate Canadian
Revolving Commitments with additional Canadian Revolving Commitments from any
existing Canadian Revolving Lender or new Canadian Revolving Commitments from
any other Person selected by the Canadian Borrower and reasonably acceptable to
the Canadian Administrative Agent; provided that:

(A)    any such increase shall be in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000
and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, or such other
integral amount as the Canadian Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable
discretion;

(B)    no Default or Event of Default shall exist and be continuing at the time
of any such increase;

(C)    no existing Lender shall be under any obligation to increase its
Commitment and any such decision whether to increase its Commitment shall be in
such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion;

(D)    (1) any new Lender shall join this Agreement by executing such joinder
documents reasonably required by the Canadian Administrative Agent and/or (2)
any existing Lender electing to increase its Commitment shall have executed a
commitment agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Canadian Administrative
Agent; and as a condition precedent to such increase, PRA shall deliver to the
Canadian Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party (including the
Canadian Borrower) dated as of the date of such increase signed by a Responsible
Officer of such Loan Party (1) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted
by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (2) in the case
of PRA, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (x)
the representations and warranties contained in Article VI and the other Loan
Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of
such increase, except to the extent that such representations and warranties

in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes
of this Section 2.02(f), the representations and warranties contained in
subsections (a) and (b) of Section 6.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most

Loans”) to be available to such Designated Borrower to be added as an additional
Borrower hereunder, which such Designated Borrower shall be a Subsidiary of PRA,
organized under either the laws of the United Kingdom or Australia, as the case

agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit I (a “Designated Borrower Joinder
Agreement”), duly executed by the Borrower, the Designated Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and each Lender that elects to make the Designated Borrower
Revolving Loans (the “Designated Borrower Revolving Lenders”); subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.02(f)(i)
(including the conditions set forth in clause (A) above).

(A)    The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any proposed

herein; provided that (x) no Loan Notice may be submitted by or on behalf of
such Designated Borrower until the date five Business Days after such effective
date and (y) any Borrowing by the Designated Borrower hereunder shall be subject

of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all
modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any Loans made by
the Lenders to any such Designated Borrower hereunder. Any acknowledgment,
consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid
or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting
singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by PRA, whether or
not such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent,
acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to
PRA in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been
delivered to each Designated Borrower.

(D)    No existing Lender shall be under any obligation to provide a Designated
Borrower Revolving Commitment and any such decision whether to provide a
Designated Borrower Revolving Commitment shall be in such Lender’s sole and
absolute discretion.

Term Loans and any such decision whether to provide Incremental Term Loans shall
be in such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion; and

and the effectiveness of the Incremental Term Loan Lender Joinder Agreement, PRA
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated
as of the date of such institution and effectiveness (in sufficient copies for
each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (I) certifying
and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting
to the Incremental Term Loan, and (II) in the case of PRA, certifying that,
before and after giving effect to the Incremental Term Loan, (x) the
representations and warranties contained in Article VI and the other Loan
Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of
such increase, except to the extent that such representations and warranties
specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct
in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes
of this Section 2.02(f)(iv), the representations and warranties contained in
subsections (a) and (b) of Section 6.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most
recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of
Section 7.01, and (y) no Default or Event of Default exists.

in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or the

Agent and such Lender.

57

(a)    The Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer
agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section
2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the

complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence.
Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
PRA’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and
accordingly PRA may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to
replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and
reimbursed.

(ii)    The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A)    subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter

(B)    the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the
applicable Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the applicable Domestic
Revolving A Lenders have approved such expiry date.

(iii)    The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of
Credit if:

(A)    any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator
shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing
such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental
Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that
the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such
Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect
to such Letter of Credit any material

58

restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not

Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $500,000;

(D)    such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than

satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with PRA or such Lender
to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after
giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender
arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that
Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which the L/C Issuer has
actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

(iv)    The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer
would not be permitted at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended
form under the terms hereof.

(v)    The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit
if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter
of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of
such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of
Credit.

(vi)    The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any
Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the
L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the
Administrative Agent in Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions
suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or
proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of
Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article X
included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as
additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

(b)    Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit;
Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(i)    Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be,
upon the request of PRA delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application,
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of PRA. Such letter
of Credit Application may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by
overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system

59

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

 

provided by the L/C Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means
acceptable to the L/C Issuer. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received
by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at
least five (5) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative
Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole
discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the
case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of
Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail
reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the
requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount
thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the
beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in
case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be
presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose
and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as the
L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of
any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall
specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the
Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof
(which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and
(D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally,
PRA shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other
documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance
or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the
Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(ii)    Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C
Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing)
that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit
Application from PRA and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative
Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice
from any Domestic Revolving A Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan
Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or
amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable
conditions contained in Article V shall not be satisfied, then, subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue
a Letter of Credit for the account of PRA or the applicable Subsidiary or enter
into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance
with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon
the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Domestic Revolving A Lender shall be
deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from
the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal
to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such
Letter of Credit.

(iii)    If PRA so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the
L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that
has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”);
provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C
Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period
(commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior
notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension
Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time
such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer,
PRA shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any
such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued,
Domestic Revolving A Lenders shall be

60

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

 

deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the
extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than
the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer
shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it
would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such
Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by
reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or
otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in
writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the
Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Domestic
Revolving A Lenders holding more than 50% of the Domestic Revolving A
Commitments have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or PRA that one or more of the applicable
conditions specified in Section 5.02 is not then satisfied, and in each case
directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv)    Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to
a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the
beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to PRA and the
Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or
amendment.

(c)    Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i)    Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice
of drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify PRA and the
Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any
payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars
or the applicable Alternative Currency (the “Honor Date”), PRA shall reimburse
the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount
of such drawing in the applicable currency of such drawing. If PRA fails to so
reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Domestic Revolving A Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the
unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the
amount of such Domestic Revolving A Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In
such event, PRA shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Domestic
Revolving A Loans (which shall accrue interest as Base Rate Loans) to be
disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount
(which, in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative
Currency, shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such amount on the Honor Date),
without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the
principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized
portion of the Aggregate Domestic Revolving A Commitments and the conditions set
forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice) and provided
that, after giving effect to such Borrowing, the Total Revolving A Outstandings
shall not exceed the Aggregate Domestic Revolving A Commitments. Any notice
given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section
2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing;
provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the
conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii)    Each Domestic Revolving A Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply
Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office for
Dollar-denominated payments in an amount

61

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

 

equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than
1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative
Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each
Domestic Revolving A Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to
have made a Base Rate Loan to PRA in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall
remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer in Dollars.

(iii)    With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by
a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 5.02
cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, PRA shall be deemed to have
incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed
Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable
on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
In such event, each Domestic Revolving A Lender’s payment to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be
deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall
constitute an L/C Advance from such Domestic Revolving A Lender in satisfaction
of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv)    Until each Domestic Revolving A Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C
Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any
amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Domestic
Revolving A Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for
the account of the L/C Issuer.

(v)    Each Domestic Revolving A Lender’s obligation to make Domestic Revolving
A Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under
Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute
and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A)
any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Domestic
Revolving A Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, PRA or any other Person for
any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C)
any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing; provided, however, that each Domestic Revolving A Lender’s obligation
to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than delivery by the applicable
Borrower of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or
otherwise impair the obligation of PRA to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the
amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit,
together with interest as provided herein.

(vi)    If any Domestic Revolving A Lender fails to make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be
paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c)
by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other
provisions of this Agreement, the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from
such Domestic Revolving A Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on
demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such
payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available
to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds
Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer. A certificate of the L/C Issuer
submitted to any Domestic Revolving A Lender (through the Administrative Agent)
with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.

62

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

 

(vii)    It is understood and agreed that with respect to any Letters of Credit
having an expiry date later than the Initial Maturity Date, only the Extending
Revolving Lenders shall have a participation interest in such Letters of Credit
(each such participation interest to be based on such Extending Revolver
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of only those Domestic Revolving A Commitments of
the Extending Revolving Lenders).

(d)    Repayment of Participations.

(i)    At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of
Credit and has received from any Domestic Revolving A Lender such Domestic
Revolving A Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with
Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C
Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest
thereon in Dollars (whether directly from PRA or otherwise, including proceeds
of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the
Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage
thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect
the period of time during which such Domestic Revolving A Lender’s L/C Advance
was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative
Agent.

(ii)    If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of
the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under
any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Domestic
Revolving A Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative
Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such
amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Domestic
Revolving A Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e)    Obligations Absolute. The obligation of PRA to reimburse the L/C Issuer
for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing
shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including
the following:

(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(ii)    the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right
that PRA or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any
transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary
or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person,
whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby
or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or
any unrelated transaction;

(iii)    any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such
Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in
any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
or any loss or delay in the

63

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

 

transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing
under such Letter of Credit;

(iv)    waiver by the L/C Issuer of any requirement that exists for the L/C
Issuer’s protection and not the protection of PRA or any waiver by the L/C
Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice PRA;

(v)    honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such
Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft;

(vi)    any payment made by the L/C Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying
item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date
by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit if presentation
after such date is authorized by the ISP or the UCP, as applicable;

(vii)    any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such
Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy,
debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator,
receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any
transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with
any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(viii)    any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar
to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, PRA or any Subsidiary.

PRA shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment
thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance
with PRA’s instructions or other irregularity, PRA will immediately notify the
L/C Issuer. PRA shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim
against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as
aforesaid.

(f)    Role of L/C Issuer. Each Domestic Revolving A Lender and PRA agree that,
in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have
any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft,
certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to
ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the
authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the
L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties
nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable
to any Domestic Revolving A Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in
connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Domestic
Revolving A Lenders or the Domestic Revolving A Lenders holding more than 50% of
the Domestic Revolving A Commitments, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or
omitted in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct; or
(iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any
document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. PRA
hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or
transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however,
that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not preclude PRA’s pursuing
such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at
law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative

64

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

 

Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent,
participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any
of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e);
provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary
notwithstanding, PRA may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer
may be liable to PRA, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as
opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by PRA which PRA proves
were caused by the L/C Issuer’s bad faith, willful misconduct or gross
negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit
after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and
certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of
Credit unless the L/C Issuer is prevented or prohibited from so paying as a
result of any order or directive of any court or other Governmental Authority.
In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept
documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for
further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary,
and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of
any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a
Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in
whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
The L/C Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or
from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial
Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other
commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

(g)    Applicability of ISP and UCP; Limitation of Liability. Unless otherwise
expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and PRA when a Letter of Credit is issued,
the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible to PRA
for, and the L/C Issuer’s rights and remedies against PRA shall not be impaired
by, any action or inaction of the L/C Issuer required or permitted under any
law, order or industry practice that is required or permitted to be applied to
any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a
jurisdiction where the L/C Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice
stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice
statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers
Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association
(BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether
or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

(h)    Letter of Credit Fees. PRA shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Domestic Revolving A Lender in accordance with its Applicable
Percentage in Dollars a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for
each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the Dollar Equivalent
of the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.
For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any
Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in
accordance with Section 1.06. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a
quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the first Business Day
after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the
first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any
change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to
be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the
Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such
Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders while any Event of
Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

65

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

 

(i)    Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C
Issuer. PRA shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account, in
Dollars, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per
annum specified in the Fee Letter, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the
daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether
or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit) and on
a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the
tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in
respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the
case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after
the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date
and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available
to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit
shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. In addition, PRA shall pay
directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account in Dollars the customary
issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard
costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time
to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due
and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(j)    Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the
terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall
control.

(k)    Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter
of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of,
or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, PRA shall be obligated to reimburse the
L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. PRA
hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of
Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of PRA, and that PRA’s business derives
substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

2.04    Swing Line Loans.

(a)    Swing Line Facility. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other
Domestic Revolving A Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, may in its sole
discretion make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to PRA in Dollars
from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period with
respect to Domestic Revolving A Commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed
at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit; provided,
however, that (x) after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total
Domestic Revolving A Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Domestic
Revolving A Commitments, (ii) the Total Domestic Revolving A Oustandings plus
the outstanding amount of the Term LoanLoans plus the outstanding amount of the
Incremental Term Loan shall not exceed the Domestic Borrowing Base and (iii) the
Domestic Revolving A Exposure of any Domestic Revolving A Lender shall not
exceed such Domestic Revolving A Lender’s Domestic Revolving A Commitment, (y)
PRA shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any
outstanding Swing Line Loan and (z) the Swing Line Lender shall not be under any
obligation to make any Swing Line Loan if it shall determine (which
determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it
has, or by such Credit Extension may have, Fronting Exposure. Within the
foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, PRA may
borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under
this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately
upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Domestic Revolving A Lender shall be
deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from
the Swing

66

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

 

Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to
the product of such Domestic Revolving A Lender’s Applicable Percentage times
the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b)    Borrowing Procedures. Each Borrowing of Swing Line Loans shall be made
upon PRA’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative
Agent, which may be given by: (A) telephone or (B) a Swing Line Loan Notice;
provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to
the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a Swing Line Loan Notice.
Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the
Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date,
and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum
principal amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess
thereof, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day.
Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line
Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent
(by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received
such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof.
Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing)
from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to
2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing of Swing Line Loans (A)
directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of
the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section
2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in
Article V is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing
date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line
Loan available to PRA.

(c)    Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

(i)    The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole discretion may request, on
behalf of PRA (which hereby irrevocably requests and authorizes the Swing Line
Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Domestic Revolving A Lender make
a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Domestic Revolving A Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such
request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a
Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of
Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for
the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the conditions set forth
in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice) and provided that,
after giving effect to such Borrowing, the Total Domestic Revolving A
Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the Aggregate Domestic Revolving
A Commitments and (y) the Domestic Borrowing Base. The Swing Line Lender shall
furnish PRA with a copy of the applicable Loan Notice promptly after delivering
such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Domestic Revolving A Lender shall
make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in
such Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available
funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with
respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line
Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments not
later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon,
subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Domestic Revolving A Lender that so makes
funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to PRA in such
amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing
Line Lender.

67

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

 

(ii)    If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a
Borrowing of Domestic Revolving A Loans in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i),
the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth
herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the
Domestic Revolving A Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing
Line Loan and each Domestic Revolving A Lender’s payment to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i)
shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii)    If any Domestic Revolving A Lender fails to make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount
required to be paid by such Domestic Revolving A Lender pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section
2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such
Domestic Revolving A Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on
demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such
payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available
to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal
Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Swing
Line Lender submitted to any Domestic Revolving A Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii)
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv)    Each Lender’s obligation to make Domestic Revolving A Loans or to
purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by
any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right that such Domestic Revolving A Lender may have against the Swing
Line Lender, PRA or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the
occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or
condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however,
that each Domestic Revolving A Lender’s obligation to make Domestic Revolving A
Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 5.02. No such purchase or funding of risk participations shall relieve
or otherwise impair the obligation of PRA to repay Swing Line Loans, together
with interest as provided herein.

(d)    Repayment of Participations.

(i)    At any time after any Domestic Revolving A Lender has purchased and
funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender
receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender
will distribute to such Domestic Revolving A Lender its Applicable Percentage of
such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to
reflect the period of time during which such Domestic Revolving A Lender’s risk
participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line
Lender.

(ii)    If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal
or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line
Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including
pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its
discretion), each Domestic Revolving A Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender
its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand

68

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

 

of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand
to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of
the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Domestic Revolving A Lenders under
this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.

(e)    Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be
responsible for invoicing PRA for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each
Domestic Revolving A Lender funds its Domestic Revolving A Loans that are Base
Rate Loans or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of
such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line
Lender.

(f)    Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. PRA shall make all payments of
principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing
Line Lender.

2.05    Prepayments.

(a)    Voluntary Prepayments.

(i)    Revolving Loans and Term Loan. The applicable Borrower may, upon notice
from PRA to the applicable Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily

Revolving Loans, the Term Loan and/or the Incremental Term Loan in whole or in
part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit M or such other form as may be

or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the applicable Agent),
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer and received by the
applicable Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (1) three Business Days prior to any
date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (2) on the date of prepayment of
Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans; (B) any such prepayment of
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of the Dollar Equivalent of
$2,000,000 or a whole multiple of the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding); and
(C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall be in a
principal amount of the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of
the Dollar Equivalent of $500,000 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 Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and
whether the Loans to be prepaid are the Domestic Revolving A Loans, the Canadian
Revolving Loans, the Designated Borrower Revolving Loans, the Term Loan and/or
the Incremental Term Loan. The applicable Agent will promptly notify each Lender
of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by PRA, the
applicable Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified
in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such notice of a voluntary prepayment may be
conditioned upon the happening or occurrence of a specified event, the proceeds
of which are intended to be used to prepay such outstanding Loans, and
thereafter revoked in the event that such specified event does not occur, or
modified to extend the proposed prepayment, by not more than five (5) Business
Days (or such longer postponement as

69

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

 

reasonably agreed by the applicable Agent). Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate
Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid,
together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject
to Section 2.15, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the
Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. Each such
prepayment of the Term LoanLoans or the Incremental Term Loan shall be applied
to the Term Loan and theA-1, Term Loan A-2 and Incremental Term Loan on a pro
rata basis to the remaining principal amortization payments of the Term Loan and
theA-1, Term Loan A-2 and Incremental Term Loan in direct order of maturity
until the Term Loan and theA-1, Term Loan A-2 and Incremental Term Loan have
been paid in full.

(ii)    Swing Line Loans. PRA may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily
prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided
that (i) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the
Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and
(ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000 or a
whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal
thereof then outstanding). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of
such prepayment. If such notice is given by PRA, PRA shall make such prepayment
and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the
date specified therein.

(b)    Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.

(i)    Revolving Commitments.

(A)    If for any reason the Total Domestic Revolving A Outstandings at any time
exceed the Aggregate Domestic Revolving A Commitments then in effect, PRA shall
immediately prepay Domestic Revolving A Loans and/or Swing Line Loans and/or
Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such
excess; provided, however, that PRA shall not be required to Cash Collateralize
the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(i) unless after the
prepayment in full of the Domestic Revolving A Loans and the Swing Line Loans,
the Total Domestic Revolving A Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Domestic
Revolving A Commitments then in effect.

(B)    If for any reason the Total Canadian Revolving Outstandings at any time
exceed 105% of the Aggregate Canadian Revolving Commitments then in effect, the

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

 

assets in the ordinary course of business ) to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds
are not reinvested in Eligible Assets within 180 days of the date of such
Disposition; provided, however, PRA shall be permitted to retain Net Cash

$50,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year. Any prepayment pursuant to this
clause (ii) shall be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below.

Any prepayment pursuant to this clause (iv) shall be applied as set forth in

Domestic Borrowing Base, PRA shall immediately prepay, at its option, the Term
LoanLoans, Incremental Term Loan, Revolving Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the
L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however,
that PRA shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations

Term Loan, Incremental Term Loan and the Domestic Revolving A Loans, the L/C
Obligations exceed the Domestic Borrowing Base.

(B)    Canadian Borrowing Base. If for any reason 100% of the Total Canadian

Canadian Borrower shall immediately prepay Canadian Revolving Loans in an
aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(vi)    Application of Mandatory Prepayments. All amounts required to be paid

71

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

 

pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i)(C), ratably to Designated Borrower Revolving

respective Commitments;

(B)    with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Sections 2.05(b)(ii),
(iii) and (iv) first pro rata to the Term Loan A-1, Term Loan A-2 and the
Incremental Term Loan (ratably to the remaining principal amortization payments
of each Loan), then (after the Term Loan A-1, Term Loan A-2 and the Incremental
Term Loan have been paid in full) ratably to the Revolving Loans and the Swing
Line Loans (without a corresponding permanent reduction of the respective
Commitments) and then (after all Revolving Loans and all Swing Line Loans have
been repaid) to Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations; and

(C)    (x) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Section
2.05(b)(v)(A), at the Borrower’s direction to the Term Loan, A-1, Term Loan A-2

Domestic Revolving A Loans and Swing Line Loans shall have been repaid in full)
to Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations and (y) with respect to all amounts
prepaid pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(v)(B), ratably to Canadian Revolving Loans.

Within the parameters of the applications set forth above, prepayments shall be
applied first to Base Rate Loans and/or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, if
applicable, and then to Eurodollar Rate Loans in direct order of Interest Period
maturities. All prepayments under this Section 2.05(b) shall be subject to
Section 3.05, but otherwise without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied
by interest on the principal amount prepaid through the date of prepayment.
Prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall not result in a permanent
reduction in the Commitments in respect of any Revolving Loans so prepaid.

(vii)    Restricted Amounts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Section 2.05(b), to the extent any mandatory prepayment required
hereunder (other than any such payments pursuant to clause (i), (iii) or (v) of
Section 2.05(b)) is attributable to assets, revenues or EBITDA of the Canadian
Borrower, its Foreign Subsidiaries or any other Foreign Subsidiaries, such
prepayment will be subject to permissibility under local law (e.g., financial
assistance, corporate benefit, thin capitalization, capital maintenance, and
similar legal principles, restrictions on upstreaming of cash intra-group and
the fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of the relevant
Subsidiaries) and restrictions under such entity’s Organization Documents
(including as a result of minority ownership) or any restriction in any contract
to which such Foreign Subsidiary is a party (and not prohibited by the terms
hereof). Further, if (x) PRA determines in good faith, in consultation with the
Administrative Agent, that any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries would incur
a Tax liability (including any withholding Tax) or if an adverse Tax consequence
(including a deemed dividend) would result or (y) PRA determines in good faith
that any Loan Party or any Subsidiary would violate any law, Organization
Document or any restriction in any contract to which a Foreign Subsidiary is a
party (and not prohibited by the terms hereof), if all or a portion of the funds
required to make such mandatory prepayment were upstreamed or transferred as a
distribution or dividend (the amount of any such funds, a “Restricted

72

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

 

Amount”), then the amount PRA will be required to mandatorily prepay shall be
reduced by the Restricted Amount, and the failure to apply any such Restricted
Amounts toward any such mandatory prepayment shall not result in a Default or
Event of Default hereunder; provided, that this paragraph shall not operate to
limit the obligation of the Canadian Borrower or the Canadian Guarantors to make
prepayment of the Canadian Borrower Obligations from Net Cash Proceeds received
by the Canadian Borrower or such Canadian Guarantor required by this Section
2.05(b).

2.06    Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments.

Revolving A Commitments to an amount not less than the Outstanding Amount of
Domestic Revolving A Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations, (y) the
Canadian Borrower may permanently reduce the Canadian Revolving Commitments to

effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Canadian
Revolving Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Canadian Revolving
Commitments, (C) the Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto,
the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations not fully Cash Collateralized
hereunder would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (D) the Swing Line
Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments
hereunder, the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans would exceed the Swing
Line Sublimit, or (E) the Designated Borrower Revolving Commitments if, after
giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the
Outstanding Amount of Designated Borrower Revolving Loans would exceed the
Designated Borrower Revolving Commitments and (iv) any such notice of optional
commitment termination or optional commitment reduction may be conditioned upon
the happening or occurrence of a specified event, the proceeds of which are
intended to be used to refinance such commitments, and thereafter revoked in the
event that such specified event does not occur, or modified to extend the
proposed termination or reduction date, by no more than five (5) Business Days
(or such longer postponement as reasonably agreed by the applicable Agent).

(b)    Mandatory Reductions. If after giving effect to any reduction or
termination of Domestic Revolving A Commitments under this Section 2.06, the
Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the Aggregate
Domestic Revolving A Commitments at such time, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or
the Swing Line Sublimit, as the case may be, shall be automatically reduced by
the amount of such excess.

73

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

 

(c)    Notice. The applicable Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any
termination or reduction of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, Swing Line Sublimit,
the Aggregate Domestic Revolving A Commitments, the Aggregate Canadian Revolving
Commitments or the Aggregate Designated Borrower Revolving Commitments under
this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of the Aggregate Domestic Revolving A
Commitments, the Domestic Revolving A Commitment of each Domestic Revolving A
Lender shall be reduced by such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such reduction
amount. Upon any reduction of the Aggregate Canadian Revolving Commitments, the
Canadian Revolving Commitment of each Canadian Revolving Lender shall be reduced
by such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such reduction amount. Upon any
reduction of the Aggregate Designated Borrower Revolving Commitments, the

termination of the applicable Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of
such termination.

(g)    Non-Ratable Payments. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document
(including, without limitation, Sections 2.05 and 2.13 of this Agreement), any
payment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.07(a) or (d) shall not be made
ratably to all Lenders but instead shall be made ratably to the applicable
Lenders whose Loans (or portion thereof) are due on an applicable payment date
or Maturity Date.

2.08    Interest.

(a)    Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar
Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for
each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate
for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate plus (in the case of a
Eurodollar Rate Loan of any Lender which is lent from a Lending Office in the
United Kingdom or a Participating Member State) the Mandatory Cost, (ii) each
Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof
from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate
plus the Applicable Rate, (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a
rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate and (iv) each
Canadian Prime Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the
Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(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, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a
fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws until such amount is paid or the
failure to pay such amount when due is waived.

(ii)    If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the
Borrowers 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 amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating
interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Laws until such amount is paid or the failure to
pay such amount when due is waived.

(iii)    Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default

Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be
specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with
the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the

(d)    For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever a rate of
interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed
year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar
year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a
yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual
number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number
of days in the deemed year, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of
interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (iii) the
rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not
effective rates or yields.

(e)    If any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents
would obligate any Borrower or any Guarantor to make any payment of interest or
other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which
would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by such Lender of
interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code
(Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate shall be
deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or
rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so
result in a receipt by such Lender of interest at a criminal rate.

2.09    Fees.

In addition to certain fees described in subsections (h) and (i) of Section
2.03:

(a)    Unused Fee. (i) PRA shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the

Borrower shall pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent, for the account of each
Canadian Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, an
unused line fee at a rate per annum equal to the product of (A) the Applicable
Rate times (B) the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Canadian Revolving
Commitments exceed the Outstanding Amount of Canadian Revolving Loans (the fee
payable pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii), the “Unused Fee”). The Unused Fee
shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time
during which one or more of the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be
due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March,
June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after
the Closing Date, and on theon the date of any reduction of the Domestic
Revolving A Commitments or the Canadian Revolving Commitments and on the
applicable Maturity Date; provided, that (A) no Unused Fee shall accrue on the
Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting
Lender and (B) any Unused Fee accrued with respect to the Commitment of a
Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a
Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by PRA so long as
such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The Unused Fee shall be calculated
quarterly in arrears, and

77

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

 

if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual
daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately
for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. For
purposes of clarification, Swing Line Loans shall not be considered outstanding
for purposes of determining the unused portion of the Aggregate Domestic
Revolving A Commitments.

(b)    Fee Letter. The Borrowers shall pay to MLPF&S and the Administrative
Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times
specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall
be non-refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.10    Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable
Rate.

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

2.11    Evidence of Debt.

(a)    The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or
more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Agents in the
ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Agents
and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the
Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers 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 Borrowers hereunder to
pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any
conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the
accounts and records of the applicable Agent in respect of such matters, the
accounts and records of the applicable Agent shall control in the absence of
manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative
Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the
applicable Agent) a promissory note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in
addition to such accounts or records. Each such promissory note shall (i) in the
case of Domestic Revolving A Loans, be in the form of Exhibit C-1 (a “Domestic
Revolving A Note”), (ii) in the case of Canadian Revolving Loans, be in the form
of Exhibit C-2 ( a “Canadian Revolving Note”), (iii) in the case of Designated
Borrower Revolving Loans, be in the form of Exhibit C-3 (a “Designated Borrower
Revolving Note”) (iv) in the case of Swing Line Loans, be in the form of Exhibit
D (a “Swing Line Note”), (v) in the case of the Term Loan A-1 or Term Loan A-2,
be in the form of Exhibit E-1 (a “Term Note”), and (vi) in the case of the
Incremental Term Loan, be in the form of Exhibit E-2 (and “Incremental Term
Note”). Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the
date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with
respect thereto.

(b)    In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a),
each Lender and each Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice
accounts or records evidencing

78

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

 

the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit
and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and
records maintained by the applicable Agent and the accounts and records of any
Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the applicable
Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.12    Payments Generally; Agent’s Clawback.

(a)    General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made free and
clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense,
recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, and except
with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative
Currency, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the
applicable Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such
payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day
Funds or at the Canadian Administrative Agent’s Office in Canadian Dollars not
later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder with respect to
principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be
made to the applicable Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which
such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in such
Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds or at the Canadian Administrative
Agent’s Office in Canadian Dollars not later than the Applicable Time specified
by the applicable Agent on the dates specified herein. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the applicable Agent may require that any payments
due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, any
Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in
an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the
Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. The applicable
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 applicable Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m. in the case of payments in Dollars
or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by the applicable Agent in the case
of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall in each case be deemed received on
the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall
continue to accrue. Subject to the definition of “Interest Period”, if any
payment to be made by the Borrowers 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 applicable Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon
on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the
applicable Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the applicable Agent may
assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance
with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or
Canadian Prime Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in
accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the 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 applicable Agent, then the applicable
Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the applicable
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 such Borrower to but excluding the

79

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

 

date of payment to the applicable Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be
made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or
similar fees customarily charged by the applicable Agent in connection with the
foregoing and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the applicable
Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans or in the case of
Alternative Currencies in accordance with such market practice, in each case, as
applicable. If the applicable Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest
to the applicable Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the applicable
Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by
such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable
Borrowing to the applicable Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such
Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the applicable Borrower
shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender
that shall have failed to make such payment to the applicable Agent.

(ii)    Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by applicable Agent. Unless the
applicable Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior
to the date on which any payment is due to the applicable Agent for the account
of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that such Borrower will not make such
payment, the applicable Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such
payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the
amount due. In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such
payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
severally agrees to repay to the applicable Agent forthwith on demand the amount
so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, 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 applicable Agent,
at the Overnight Rate.

A notice of the applicable Agent to any Lender or the applicable 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 applicable Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in
the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made
available to the applicable Borrower by the applicable Agent because the
conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article V are not
satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the applicable Agent
shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to
such Lender, without interest.

(d)    Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder
to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans
and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(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 11.04(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 11.04(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.

80

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

 

2.13    Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of
the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line
Loans held by it (excluding any amounts applied by the Swing Line Lender to
outstanding Swing Line Loans) resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a
proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued
interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein,
then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the
applicable Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing
Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be
equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them,
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
(ii)    the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x)
any payment made by or on behalf of the applicable 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), (y) the application
of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.14 or (z) any payment obtained by a
Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any
of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any
assignee or participant, other than an assignment to a Borrower or any
Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Loan Party 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 such
Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the
amount of such participation.

2.14    Cash Collateral.

(a)    Certain Credit Support Events. If (i) the L/C Issuer has honored any full
or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has
resulted in an L/C Borrowing, (ii) as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date,
any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, (iii) PRA shall be
required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02(c), or (iv) there
shall exist a Defaulting Lender, PRA shall immediately (in the case of clause
(iii) above) or within one Business Day (in all other cases) following any
request by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, provide Cash Collateral
in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount (determined
in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause (iv) above, after
giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the
Defaulting Lender).

(b)    Grant of Security Interest. PRA, and to the extent provided by any
Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to (and subjects to the
control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority
security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein,
and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all
proceeds of the foregoing,

81

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

 

all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied
pursuant to Section 2.14(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines
that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than
the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer as herein provided, or that the total
amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, PRA
will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the
Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to
eliminate such deficiency. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not
constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked,
non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America. PRA shall pay on
demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and
other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and
disbursement of Cash Collateral.

(c)    Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.14 or Sections
2.03, 2.05, 2.15 or 9.02 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and
applied in satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, obligations to fund
participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a
Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other
obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other
application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(d)    Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to
reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released
promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or
other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of
Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender) (or, as appropriate, its
assignee following compliance with Section 11.06(b)(vi)) or (ii) the
determination by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer that there exists
excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) any such release shall be without
prejudice to, and any disbursement or other transfer of Cash Collateral shall be
and remain subject to, any other Lien conferred under the Loan Documents and the
other applicable provisions of the Loan Documents, and (y) the Person providing
Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be
released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or
other obligations.

2.15    Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i)    Waivers and Amendment. 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
11.01.

(ii)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or
other amount received by the applicable Agent for the account of such Defaulting
Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or
otherwise) or received by the applicable Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant
to Section 11.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined
by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts
owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder;

82

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

 

second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such
Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to
Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such
Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.14; fourth, as PRA may request
(so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan
in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion
thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the applicable Agent;
fifth, if so determined by the applicable Agent and PRA, to be held in a deposit
account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s
potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement
and (y) Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with
respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit
issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.14; sixth, to the
payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender
as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any
Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender
as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this
Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the
payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction obtained by a Borrower against that Defaulting
Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under
this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed
by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that, if (x) such payment is a
payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of
which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y)
such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when
the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment
shall be applied solely to the pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to,
all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the
payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender
until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C
Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance
with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv). Any
payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender
that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post
Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and
redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents
hereto.

(iii)    Certain Fees.

(A)    No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under
Section 2.09(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender
(and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise
would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B)    Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees
for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the
extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of
Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.14.

(C)    With respect to any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any
Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, PRA shall (x) pay to each
Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such
Defaulting

83

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

 

Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations
that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv)
below, (y) pay to the L/C Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to
such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s Fronting
Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining
amount of any such fee.

(iv)    Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All
or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and
Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders with a
Domestic Revolving A Commitment in accordance with their respective Applicable
Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Domestic
Revolving A Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth
in Section 5.02(a) and (b) are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and,
unless the applicable Borrower shall have otherwise notified the applicable
Agent at such time, such Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and
warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such
reallocation does not cause the aggregate Domestic Revolving A Exposure of any
Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Domestic Revolving
A Commitment. NoSubject to Section 11.23, no reallocation hereunder shall
constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a
Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender,
including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such
Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v)    Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation
described in clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected,
the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it
hereunder or under applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in any
amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash
Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 2.14.

(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If PRA, the Agents, the Swing Line Lender and the
L/C Issuer agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender is no longer a Defaulting
Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as
of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set
forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash
Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that
portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as
the Agents may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and
unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on
a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages
(without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)), 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 Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; 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 having been
a Defaulting Lender.

84

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

 

ARTICLE III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01    Taxes.

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

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

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

(iii)    If any Loan Party or the applicable Agent shall be required by any
applicable Laws other than the Internal Revenue Code to withhold or deduct any
Taxes from any payment, then (A) such Loan Party or the applicable 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) such Loan Party or the applicable
Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount
withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on
account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall
be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making
of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction for
Indemnified Taxes been made.

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

85

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

 

(c)    Tax Indemnifications.

(i)    Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally
indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10
days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes
(including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
payable under this Section 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or required
to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties,
interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, except penalties or expenses
that arise as a result of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such Recipient as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to PRA by a
Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the applicable Agent), or by the
applicable Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer,
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each of the Loan Parties shall, and
does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the applicable Agent, and shall
make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any
amount which a Lender or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly
to the applicable Agent as required pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(ii) below.

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

(d)    Evidence of Payments. Upon request by any Loan Party or the applicable
Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party or by
the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section
3.01, each Loan Party shall deliver to the applicable Agent or the applicable
Agent shall deliver to the applicable Borrower, as the case may be, 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 PRA or the
applicable Agent, as the case may be.

86

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

 

(e)    Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall
deliver to PRA and the applicable Agent, at the time or times reasonably
requested by PRA or the applicable Agent, such properly completed and executed
documentation reasonably requested by PRA or the applicable Agent as will permit
such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of
withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by PRA or the
applicable Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by PRA or the applicable Agent as will
enable PRA or the applicable Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is
subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the
completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such
documentation set forth in Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) 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, in the event that the
applicable Borrower is a U.S. Person,

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

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

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

(II)    executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

87

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

 

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

(IV)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed
originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or
W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the
form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-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 I-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to
U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to
comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those
contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as
applicable), such Lender shall deliver to such Borrower and the applicable Agent
at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably
requested by such Borrower or the applicable 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
such Borrower or the applicable Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and
the applicable 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 (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments
made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

88

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

 

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

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

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

3.02    Illegality.

(a)    If any Lender determines in good faith 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 make, maintain or fund Loans whose
interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (whether denominated
in Dollars or an Alternative Currency), or to determine or charge interest rates
based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed
material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to
take deposits of, Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the applicable
interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to PRA through the
applicable Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue
Eurodollar Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of
Eurodollar Rate Loans in Dollars, or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar
Rate Loans shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of
such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is
determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the
interest

89

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

 

rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such
illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the
Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender
notifies the Administrative Agent and PRA that the circumstances giving rise to
such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the
Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars or
Canadian Dollars, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate
Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable (the interest rate on which
Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be
determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate
component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period
therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate
Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to
maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the
illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the
Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such
suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to
the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised
in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to
determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such
prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the
amount so prepaid or converted.
    
(b)    If, in any applicable jurisdiction, the applicable Agent, the L/C Issuer
or any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the applicable
Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender to (i) perform any of its obligations
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (ii) to fund or maintain its
participation in any Loan or (iii) issue, make, maintain, fund or charge
interest with respect to any Credit Extension to any Borrower who is organized
under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, a State thereof
or the District of Columbia, such Person shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent, then, upon the Administrative Agent notifying PRA, and
until such notice by such Person is revoked, any obligation of such Person to
issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Credit
Extension shall be suspended, and to the extent required by applicable Law,
cancelled. Upon receipt of such notice, the Loan Parties shall, (A) repay that
Person’s participation in the Loans or other applicable Obligations on the last
day of the Interest Period for each Loan or other Obligation occurring after the
Administrative Agent has notified PRA or, if earlier, the date specified by such
Person in the notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (being no earlier
than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by applicable Law)
and (B) take all reasonable actions requested by such Person to mitigate or
avoid such illegality.

3.03    Inability to Determine Rates.

If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any
request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof
that deposits (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not being
offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency
for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b)
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Base
Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar
Rate Loan (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) or in
connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar
Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the
Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify PRA
and all Lenders. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or
maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be
suspended and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding

90

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

 

sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the
utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall
be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice.
Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower may revoke any pending
request for a Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in
the affected currency or currencies, or, failing that, will be deemed to have
converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the
amount specified therein.

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 (except (A) any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate
and (B) the requirements of the Bank of England and the Financial Services
Authority or the European Central Bank reflected in the Mandatory Cost, other
than as set forth below) or the L/C Issuer;

(ii)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes,
(B) Taxes described in clauses (c) through (e) 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;

(iii)    result in the failure of the Mandatory Cost, as calculated hereunder,
to represent the cost to any Lender of complying with the requirements of the
Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority or the European Central
Bank in relation to its making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans; or

(iv)    impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market
any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement
or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or
participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making, converting to or continuing or maintaining any Loan the
interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or of
maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to
such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any
Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue
any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable
by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or
any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the
applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may
be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction
suffered.

(b)    Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any
Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of
such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’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 or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on
the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made
by, or

91

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

 

participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or
the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such
Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company
would have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such
Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the
L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time
to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may
be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C
Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such
reduction suffered.

(c)    Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C
Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender
or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in
subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to PRA shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, 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 or the L/C
Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right
to demand such compensation, provided that PRA shall not be required to
compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer 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 or the L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, notifies PRA of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’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).

(e)    Additional Reserve Requirements. Without duplication of any amounts
required to be paid hereunder, PRA shall pay (or cause the Canadian Borrower or
Designated Borrower to pay) to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be
required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting
of or including Eurodollar funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency
liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each
Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to
such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which
determination shall be conclusive), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be
required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement
of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in
respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurodollar
Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and
rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the
actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined
by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which in
each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on
such Loan, provided PRA shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with
a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from
such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant
Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and
payable 10 days from receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Borrowers shall not be liable under this Section 3.04(e) for the payment of such
additional interest incurred or accrued more than 180 days prior to the date on
which the applicable Lender receives notice or becomes aware of the event or
occurrence giving rise to the obligation to make such payment.

92

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

 

3.05    Compensation for Losses.

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

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

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

(c)    any failure by PRA to make payment of any Loan or drawing under any
Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative
Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different
currency; or

(d)    any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day
of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by PRA pursuant to
Section 11.13;

Such loss, cost or expense shall be limited to the actual loss, cost or expense
arising from any actual liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to
maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which
such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange
contract.

3.06    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

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

(b)    Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
3.04, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or
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), the Borrowers may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13.

93

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

 

3.07    Survival.

All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive
termination of the Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and
resignation of either Agent.

ARTICLE IV
GUARANTY

4.01    The Guaranty.

(a)    Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees
to each Lender, each Swap Bank, each Treasury Management Bank and each Agent as
hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment
of the Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory
prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory Cash Collateralization or otherwise)
strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby
further agree that if any of the Obligations are not paid in full when due
(whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a
mandatory Cash Collateralization or otherwise), the Subsidiary Guarantors will,
jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice
whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal
of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due
(whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a
mandatory Cash Collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of
such extension or renewal.

(b)    PRA hereby guarantees to each Lender, each Swap Bank, each Treasury
Management Bank and each Agent as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and
not as surety, the prompt payment of the Designated Borrower Obligations and the
Canadian Borrower Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a
mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) strictly in accordance with
the terms thereof. PRA hereby further agrees that if any of the Designated
Borrower Obligations or the Canadian Borrower Obligations, as applicable, are
not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory
prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise), PRA will promptly pay the same,
without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension
of time of payment or renewal of any of the Designated Borrower Obligations or
the Canadian Borrower Obligations, as applicable, the same will be promptly paid
in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by
acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or
renewal.

(c)    Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any
other of the Loan Documents, Swap Contracts or Treasury Management Agreements,
the obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount
that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the Debtor
Relief Laws or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.

(d)    Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any
other of the Loan Documents, in no event shall any Canadian Guarantor be a
guarantor of any Obligations other than the Canadian Borrower Obligations.

94

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

 

4.02    Obligations Unconditional.

(a)    The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under Section 4.01 are joint
and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness,
validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, Swap
Contracts or Treasury Management Agreements, or any other agreement or
instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release, impairment or
exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any law or
regulation or other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a
legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (other than the
defense that the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification or expense
reimbursement obligations, Obligations under Treasury Management Agreements and
Swap Contracts or Letters of Credit to the extent cash collateralized or
appropriate backstop letters of credit have been issued) have been paid in
full), it being the intent of this Section 4.02 that the obligations of the
Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all
circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of
subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against PRA or any other
Guarantor for amounts paid under this Article IV until such time as the
Obligations (other than contingent indemnification or expense reimbursement
obligations, Obligations under Treasury Management Agreements and Swap Contracts
or Letters of Credit to the extent cash collateralized or appropriate backstop
letters of credit have been issued) have been paid in full and the Commitments
have expired or terminated.

(b)    The obligations of PRA under Section 4.01 are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability
of any of the Loan Documents, Swap Contracts or Treasury Management Agreements,
or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution,
release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of
the Designated Borrower Obligations or the Canadian Borrower Obligations, as
applicable, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective
of any law or regulation or other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor,
it being the intent of this Section 4.02 that the obligations of PRA hereunder
shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. PRA agrees
that it shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or
contribution against the Designated Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as
applicable, for amounts paid under this Article IV until such time as the
Designated Borrower Obligations or the Canadian Obligations (in each case, other
than contingent indemnification or expense reimbursement obligations,
Obligations under Treasury Management Agreements and Swap Contracts or Letters
of Credit to the extent cash collateralized or appropriate backstop letters of
credit have been issued) have been paid in full and the Commitments have expired
or terminated.

(c)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sections (a) and (b), it
is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any
one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any
Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described
above:

(i)    at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the
time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be
extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

95

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

 

(ii)    any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Loan
Documents, any Swap Contract between any Loan Party and any Swap Bank, or any
Treasury Management Agreement between any Loan Party and any Treasury Management
Bank, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents,
such Swap Contracts or such Treasury Management Agreements shall be done or
omitted;

(iii)    the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of

Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document to the contrary, in no event
shall the Canadian Administrative Agent be deemed to have rights hereunder or

than the Canadian Borrower Obligations.

9.03    Application of Funds.

After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 9.02 (or after the Loans
have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations
have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the
proviso to Section 9.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations
shall, subject to Sections 2.14 and 2.15, be applied by the Agents in the
following order:

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,
indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of counsel to the Agents and amounts payable under Article III)
payable to the Agents in their capacity as such;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,
indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of
Credit Fees) payable to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer (including fees, charges
and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the L/C Issuer)
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 Letter of Credit Fees and interest on the Loans and L/C Borrowings and
fees, premiums and scheduled periodic payments, and any interest accrued
thereon, due under any Swap Contract between any Loan Party and any Swap Bank,
to the extent such Swap Contract is permitted by Section 8.03(d), ratably among
the Lenders (and, in the case of such Swap Contracts, Affiliates of Lenders) and
the L/C Issuer in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause
Third held by them;

131

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

 

Fourth, to (a) payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued
and unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings, (b) payment of breakage,
termination or other payments, and any interest accrued thereon, due under any

Banks or Treasury Management Banks, as applicable) and the L/C Issuer in
proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by
them; and

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly
paid in full (other than unasserted contingent indemnification or expense
reimbursement obligations, obligations owing under Treasury Management
Agreements or Swap Contracts, or L/C Obligations to the extent Cash
Collateralized), to the Borrowers or as otherwise required by Law.

Subject to Sections 2.03(c) and 2.14, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the
aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fourth above
shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur.
If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit
have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied
to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Treasury Management
Agreements and Swap Contracts shall be excluded from the application described
above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof,
together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may
request, from the applicable Treasury Management Bank or Swap Bank, as the case
may be. Each Treasury Management Bank or Swap Bank not a party to the Credit
Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence
shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the
appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article IX
hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall
the operation of this Article IX result in any asset or property of a Foreign
Subsidiary or an Excluded Domestic Subsidiary satisfying, or otherwise being
paid to any Recipient on account of, any Obligation of a Loan Party that is a
U.S. Person.

ARTICLE X
AGENTS

10.01    Appointment and Authority.

(a)    Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints (i)
Bank of America, N.A., to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent and (ii)
Bank of America, National Association, acting through its Canada branch, as
Canadian Administrative Agent, in each case, hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Canadian
Administrative Agent, as applicable, to take such actions on its behalf and to
exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agents by the terms hereof or
thereof, together with such

132

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

 

actions and powers as are incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are
solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and
neither the Borrowers nor any other Loan Party shall 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 Agents 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.

(b)    The Agents shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan
Documents, and each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably
appoints and authorizes the Agents to act as the agent of such Lender and the
L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on
Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations,
together with such powers and discretion as are incidental thereto. In this
connection, the Agents, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and
attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Agents pursuant to Section 10.05 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 at the direction of the Agents), shall be entitled to the
benefits of all provisions of this Article X and Article XI (including Section
11.04(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.

10.02    Rights as a Lender.

The Persons serving as the Agents 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 an Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless
otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include
each Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. 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 any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate
thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to
account therefor to the Lenders.

10.03    Exculpatory Provisions.

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

(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 an 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 Agents shall not be required to take
any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the
Agents 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

133

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

 

affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting
Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

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

No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the
consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent
shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as
provided in Sections 11.01 and 9.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own bad
faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. No Agent shall be
deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing
such Default is given in writing to the applicable Agent by PRA, a Lender or the
L/C Issuer.

No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into
(i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection
herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein
or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition
set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of
items expressly required to be delivered to an Agent.

10.04    Reliance by Agent.

Each 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. Each
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, or the issuance, extension, renewal or
increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, each Agent may presume that such
condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless such Agent
shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer
prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each
Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties),
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.

10.05    Delegation of Duties.

Each 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 such Agent. Each 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 such
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

134

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

 

activities as an Agent. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent
jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that such Agent
acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such
sub-agents.

10.06    Resignation of an Agent.

(a)    Each Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders,
the L/C Issuer and PRA. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the
Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of PRA (so long as no
Event of Default has occurred or is continuing) (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall, in the
case of the Administrative Agent, be a bank with an office in the United States,
or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States and, in the
case of the Canadian Administrative Agent, be a bank with an office in Canada,
or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in Canada. If no such successor
shall have been appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its
resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders and
PRA) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall
not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a
successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a
successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in
accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b)    If the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause
(d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders and PRA (so long as no Event
of Default has occurred or is continuing) may, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law by notice in writing to such Person remove such Person as the
Agent and appoint a successor in accordance with clause (a) above. If no such
successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and PRA, and
shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier
day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”),
then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such
notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c)    With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective
Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed 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 Agent on behalf of the
Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or
removed Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as
a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or
other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Agent, all payments,
communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the
Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly,
until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as
provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent

Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon either Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related

judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, each Agent (irrespective of
whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and
payable as herein

136

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

 

expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the
applicable Agent shall have made any demand on PRA) shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other
Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification or expense
reimbursement obligations, obligations owing under Treasury Management
Agreements or Swap Contracts or L/C Obligations to the extent Cash
Collateralized) that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as

(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

Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the applicable Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other

or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the applicable Agent to
vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

10.10    Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize each Agent, at its
option and in its discretion,

(a)    to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the

Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations under the Loan Documents
(other than unasserted contingent indemnification or expense reimbursement
obligations, obligations owing under Treasury Management Agreements or Swap
Contracts or L/C Obligations to the extent Cash Collateralized) and the
expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit
as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the
L/C Issuer shall have been made), (ii) that is transferred or to be transferred

promptly confirm in writing such Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its
interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor
from its obligations under the Guaranty, pursuant to this Section 10.10.

Neither Agent shall 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 such
Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in
connection therewith, nor shall such Agent be responsible or liable to the
Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

10.11    Treasury Management Banks and Swap Banks.

No Treasury Management Bank or Swap Bank that obtains the benefits of Section
9.03, the Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or any
Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent
to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or
otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of
any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only
to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Article X to the contrary, the Administrative Agent
shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory
arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Treasury
Management Agreements and Swap Contracts unless the Administrative Agent has
received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting

and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent, PRA and the other Loan Parties (i) to add one or more
additional credit facilities to this Agreement, to permit the extensions of
credit from time to time outstanding hereunder and the accrued interest and fees
in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans and the accrued
interest and fees in respect thereof and to include appropriately the Lenders
holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and
(ii) to change, modify or alter Section 2.13 or Section 9.03 or any other

requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted
Amendment is requested to become effective. The Permitted Amendments shall not
become effective unless consented to by PRA and those Accepting Lenders (as

Approval is received, (i) such Permitted Amendments shall become effective only
with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments of the Lenders that accept the
applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and,
in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans
and/or Commitments as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made and (ii)
the Borrowers, each Loan Party and each Accepting Lender shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent a loan modification agreement (the “Loan
Modification Agreement”) and such other documentation as the Administrative
Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted
Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative Agent shall

Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness
of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to
the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms
of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Loans
and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as to which such Lenders’ acceptance
has been made.

not apply to notices to any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Article II if

ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD

Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials 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 bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any
liability to PRA, any Lender, the L/C Issuer 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 Borrowers, each Agent, the L/C Issuer
and the Swing Line Lender may change its address, facsimile or telephone number
for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties
hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, facsimile or telephone number
for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to PRA, each Agent, the

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

(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 Loan Parties shall indemnify each Agent, the L/C
Issuer, 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 a Loan Party. All telephonic
notices to and other telephonic communications with an Agent may be recorded by
such Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

11.03    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement.

No failure by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or an 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 Agents in
accordance with Section 10.01 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the L/C
Issuer; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) either
Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to
its benefit (solely in its capacity as an Agent) hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, (b) the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender from exercising the
rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C
Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with
Section 11.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.13), or (d) 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 Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required
Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Agent pursuant to
Section 10.01 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c)
and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may,

each Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and each
Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an

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 a Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any

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

144

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

 

expenses or settlement costs (x) are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad
faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result
from a claim brought by a Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee
for material breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any
other Loan Document, if the applicable Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained
a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the provisions of Section
3.01(c), this Section 11.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than
any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax
claim.

(c)    Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Loan Parties for any
reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b)
of this Section to be paid by them to an Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the
L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing,
each Lender severally agrees to pay to each Agent (or any such sub-agent), the
L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be,
such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share
of the Total Credit Exposure at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any
such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender), such payment
to be made severally among them based on such Lenders’ Applicable Percentages
(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity
payment is sought), provided, further that, the unreimbursed expense or
indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may
be, was incurred by or asserted against an Agent (or any such sub-agent), the
L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such, or against any
Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for an Agent (or any such
sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender 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, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party 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 Letter of Credit 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 by it through telecommunications,
electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby other than for damages resulting from the bad faith, gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction.

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

(f)    Survival. The agreements in this Section and the indemnity provisions of
Section 11.02(e) shall survive the resignation of either Agent, the L/C Issuer
and the Swing Line Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the
Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other
Obligations.

145

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

 

11.05    Payments Set Aside.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party is made to an
Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or either Agent, the L/C Issuer 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 such Agent, the L/C Issuer 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 and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to each Agent upon demand
its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or
repaid by such 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. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer
under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of
the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

11.06    Successors and Assigns.

(a)    Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and thereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereby, except that the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of
their rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the prior written
consent of each Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in
accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of
participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this
Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject
to the restrictions of subsection (e) of this Section (and any other attempted
assignment or transfer by any party hereto 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 (e) of this
Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of
each of each Agent, the L/C Issuer 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
and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and
the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C
Obligations and Swing Line 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/or the Loans at the time owing to it or
contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the
amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate 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

146

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

 

(B)    in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the
aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect,
the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject
to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the applicable Agent or, if
“Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade
Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of an assignment of
Revolving Loans and $1,000,000 in the case of an assignment of Term Loans and
Incremental Term Loans, unless each of the applicable Agent and, so long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, PRA otherwise consents (each
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(ii)    Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment
assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the Swing Line
Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans

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

(A)    the consent of PRA (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, PRA shall be
deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto
by written notice to the applicable Agent within five (5) Business Days after
having received notice thereof;

(B)    the consent of the applicable Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) any
Term Loan A-1 Commitment, Term Loan A-2 Commitment, Incremental Term Loan
Commitment, Domestic Revolving A Commitment, Canadian Revolving Commitment or
Designated Borrower Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that
is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the Commitment subject to such
assignment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such
Lender or (ii) any Term Loan or Incremental Term Loan to a Person that is not a
Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

(C)    the consent of the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender shall be required
for any assignment in respect of the Domestic Revolving A Commitments.

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

147

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

 

(v)    No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to
PRA or any of PRA’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or
any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder,
would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), (C)
to a natural person or (D) to a Competitor.

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by an Agent pursuant to subsection
(c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this
Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering
all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 with respect to facts and
circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment;
provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected
parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or
release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having
been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the Borrowers (at their 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. Each Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office, or the Canadian
Administrative Agent’s Office, as applicable, a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C
Obligations 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 Borrowers, each Agent and the Lenders may treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to

148

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

 

the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The
Register shall be available for inspection by PRA and any Lender, at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)    Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, PRA or either Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a
natural Person, a Defaulting Lender or PRA or any of PRA’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 (including such Lender’s participations in L/C
Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Agents, the other
Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the
indemnity under Section 11.04(c) without regard to the existence of any
participation.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (i) through
(vi) of Section 11.01(a) that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and
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 (it being understood that
the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall be delivered to the
Lender who sells the participation) to the same extent as if it were a Lender
and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the
provisions of Sections 3.06 and 11.13 as if it were an assignee under paragraph
(b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment
under Sections 3.01 or 3.04, with respect to any participation, than the Lender
from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to
receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment
results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the
applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at
PRA’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the
Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.06 with respect to any
Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 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 non-fiduciary agent of PRA, maintain a register on which it enters
the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated
interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under
the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall
have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register
(including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a
Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other
obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that
such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of
credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of
the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register
shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such
participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to

149

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

 

the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, no Agent (in its capacity as an Agent)
shall have any responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

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

(f)    Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank
of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b)
above, Bank of America may, (i) upon thirty days’ notice to PRA and the Lenders,
resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon thirty days’ notice to PRA, resign as
Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing
Line Lender, PRA shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor
L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that (x) no
failure by PRA to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of
Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be and (y)
any successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender must consent to such appointment
by PRA. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect
to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation
as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right
to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in
Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If Bank of America resigns as
Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender
provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and
outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to
require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in
outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment
of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (1) such successor shall
succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and
(2) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for
the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or
make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume
the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

(g)    Assignment by a Non-Extending Revolving Lender. If a Non-Extending
Revolving Lender assigns all or a portion of such Non-Extending Revolving
Lender’s Domestic Revolving A Commitment and Domestic Revolving A Loans
(including such Non-Extending Revolving Lender’s participations in L/C
Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) and, if applicable, its Canadian Revolving
Commitment and Canadian Revolving Loans to an Eligible Assignee pursuant to the
terms of this Section 11.06, such Eligible Assignee may agree in the applicable
Assignment and Assumption to become an Extending Revolving Lender with respect
to such assigned Domestic Revolving A Commitments, Domestic Revolving A Loans
and participations in such L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans and, if
applicable, such Canadian Revolving Commitments and Canadian Revolving Loans,
and agree in the applicable Assignment and Assumption to extend the maturity
date with respect to such assigned Domestic Revolving A Commitments, Domestic
Revolving A Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans
and, if applicable, such Canadian Revolving Commitments and Canadian Revolving
Loans, to the Extended Maturity Date, and in connection therewith, Borrower
shall be permitted

150

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

 

to pay to such Extending Revolving Lender a fee in an amount not to exceed 30
basis points on the aggregate amount of Domestic Revolving A Commitments,
Domestic Revolving A Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing
Line Loans and, if applicable, such Canadian Revolving Commitments and Canadian
Revolving Loans, the Maturity Date of which are extended to the Extended
Maturity Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that the
extension of the Maturity Date described above in this clause (g) with respect
to any such assigned interest shall occur automatically on the effective date of
the applicable Assignment and Assumption without the need for any amendment to
this Agreement.

11.07    Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

Each of the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of
the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such
Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or requested by any
regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its
Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal 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 and obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective
party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction
under which payments are to be made by reference to a Loan Party and its
obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) on a confidential basis
to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating PRA or its Subsidiaries or
the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any
similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers
or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided
hereunder, (h) with the consent of PRA or (i) to the extent such Information (x)
becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or
(y) becomes available to an Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their
respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than PRA.

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

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

151

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

 

11.08    Set-off.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the
L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any
time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the
Agents, 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) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever
currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate
to or for the credit or the account of the applicable Borrower or any other Loan
Party against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party
now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to
such Lender or the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of
whether or not such Lender, L/C Issuer or Affiliate shall have made any demand
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of
such Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a
branch or office or Affiliate of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from
the branch or office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such
indebtedness; provided, that, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall
exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over
immediately to the applicable Agent for further application in accordance with
the provisions of Section 2.15 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by
such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the
benefit of the Agents, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting
Lender shall provide promptly to the applicable 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, the L/C Issuer and
their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights
and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer
or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees
to notify PRA and each 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.

11.09    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 either 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 applicable
Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or
received by an 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.

11.10    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto
in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all
of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement,
the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees
payable to the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Agents or the L/C Issuer, 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 5.01, 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

152

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

 

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 “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of
a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

11.11    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 each Agent
and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by an Agent or any Lender
or on their behalf and notwithstanding that either Agent or any Lender may have
had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other
Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit
shall remain outstanding.

11.12    Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability
of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall
not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good
faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions
with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to
that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the
foregoing provisions of this Section 11.12, if and to the extent that the
enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting
Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by
an Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such
provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

11.13    Replacement of Lenders.

If PRA is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section
3.06, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then
PRA may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
applicable Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse
(in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents

Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
