received by the Administrative 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 or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate
Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of
Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative
Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided
in Section 2.03(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be
in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess
thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify
(i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Revolving
Credit Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate
Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as
the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of
Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be
borrowed or to which existing Revolving Credit Loans are to be converted, and
(v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If
the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if the 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. Any such
automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of
the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar
Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to
specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest
Period of one month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Swing
Line Loan may not be converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan.
     (b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the
applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is
provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of
the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the
preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing of a Revolving Credit Loan,
each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative
Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not
later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan
Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set

37

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

 

forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension,
Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received
available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent
either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of 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 reasonably acceptable
to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the
date the Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by the Borrower,
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 the Borrower as provided above.
     (c) During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans may be requested
as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of
the Required Lenders.
     (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar
Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the
Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence
of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in
Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly
following the public announcement of such change.
     (e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Revolving
Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Revolving
Credit Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than twelve Interest
Periods in effect with respect to Revolving Credit Loans.
     (f) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the First
Restatement Loans made under the Restated Credit Agreement shall remain
outstanding on and after the Second Restatement Effective Date as Loans made
pursuant to this Agreement, and the excess of the First Restatement Lenders’
First Restatement Loans shall be deemed to have been repaid with funds available
to the Borrower, including all of the proceeds of Loans made pursuant to this
Agreement on the Second Restatement Effective Date, and each First Restatement
Loan of the First Restatement Lender shall be deemed to satisfy, dollar for
dollar, the First Restatement Lender’s obligation to make Loans on the Second
Restatement Effective Date. Such First Restatement Loans shall on and after the
Second Restatement Effective Date have all of the rights and benefits of Loans
as set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
     2.03. Letters of Credit.
     (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 other Lenders set forth in
this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period
from the Second Restatement Effective Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration
Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or its
Restricted Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously
issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below,

38

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

 

and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders
severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of
the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder;
provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to
any Letter of Credit, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of
(x) the Borrowing Base and (y) the Aggregate Commitments and (ii) the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus
such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans
shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Each request by the Borrower for the
issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a
representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested
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, the
Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and
accordingly the Borrower 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 of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance
or last extension, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date;
     (B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after
the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such
expiry date; or
     (C) after giving effect to such issuance, the Total Outstandings shall
exceed the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base and (ii) the Aggregate Commitments.
     (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 restriction, reserve or capital
requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder)
not in effect on the Second Restatement Effective Date, or shall impose upon the
L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on
the Second Restatement Effective Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith
deems material to it;

39

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

 

     (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any Laws or one or
more policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;
     (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C
Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial face amount less than $100,000;
     (D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than
Dollars;
     (E) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic
reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or
     (F) any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender or an Impacted Lender,
unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, satisfactory to the L/C
Issuer, with the Borrower or such Lender, including the provision of sufficient
Cash Collateral or other credit support acceptable to the L/C Issuer, to
eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual Disproportionate Facility Risk with respect to
such Lender as to the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued; provided that
to the extent the Borrower provides sufficient Cash Collateral to the L/C Issuer
to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s Disproportionate Facility Risk with respect to
such Lender as to the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued, such
provision of Cash Collateral shall be deemed to be a satisfactory arrangement to
the L/C Issuer.
     (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 such 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.
     (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 the Borrower 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 the Borrower.
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 two 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 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

40

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

 

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; and (G) 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 satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (w) the Letter of Credit to be amended;
(x) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day);
(y) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (z) such other matters as the L/C
Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower 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 the Borrower 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 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 IV shall not then 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 the Borrower (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 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 Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter
of Credit.
     (iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit
Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute 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, the Borrower 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, the Lenders shall be 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 five

41

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

 

Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative
Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or
(2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Loan Party that one or more
of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied,
and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.
     (iv) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit
Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to
issue a Letter of Credit that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a
portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder (each, an
“Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). Unless otherwise directed by the L/C
Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C
Issuer to permit such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit
has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the Lenders shall
be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to reinstate
all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions
of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such
Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits the L/C Issuer to decline to
reinstate all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing
thereunder by giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number
of days after such drawing (the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”), the L/C Issuer
shall not permit such reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by
telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before
the Non-Reinstatement Deadline (A) from the Administrative Agent that the
Required Lenders have elected not to permit such reinstatement or (B) from the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the
applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied (treating
such reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of this clause) and,
in each case, directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such reinstatement.
     (v) 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 the Borrower 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 a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the
Borrower 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 (each such date,
an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the
Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the
Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the
unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to
have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date
in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and
multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans,
but

42

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

 

subject to the Borrowing Base and the amount of the unutilized portion of the
Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than
the delivery of a Loan Notice). 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 Lender (including the Lender acting as L/C Issuer) shall upon any
notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (including for this
purpose Cash Collateral and other credit support available with respect to the
applicable Letter of Credit provided by any Defaulting Lender or Impacted Lender
pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(iii)(F)) to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its
Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 12:00 noon on the
Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon,
subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes
funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in
such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the
L/C Issuer.
     (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 4.02 cannot be satisfied (and have not been waived) or for any other
reason, the Borrower 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 from the date such amount is so
demanded until the date on which such amount is paid in full. In such event,
each 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 Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this
Section 2.03.
     (iv) Until each Lender funds its Revolving Credit 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 Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.
     (v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit 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 set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have
against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower 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 Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans
pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a
Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair
the

43

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

 

obligation of the Borrower 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 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 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 Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate
of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent)
with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.
     (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 Lender such 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 (whether directly from the Borrower or
otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the
Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender
its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest
payments, to reflect the period of time during which such 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 10.06 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Pro Rata
Share 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.
     (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower 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;

44

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

 

     (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other
right that the Borrower 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 transmission or otherwise of any document required
in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
     (iv) 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
     (v) 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, the Borrower or any
Subsidiary.
     The Borrower 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 the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the
Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower 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 Lender and the Borrower 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 the 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,
any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants
or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action
taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of
the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or
omitted in the absence of 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 Letter of Credit Application. The
Borrower 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 the Borrower’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, any
Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or
assignees of the

45

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

 

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, the Borrower may have a claim
against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the
extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or
exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were
caused by the L/C Issuer’s 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. 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.
     (g) Cash Collateral and Other Credit Support.
     (i) Upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if 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, or (ii) if, as of the
date that is 10 Business Days prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any
Letter of Credit for any reason remains outstanding and partially or wholly
undrawn, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize such amount as the
Administrative Agent may request, up to a maximum amount equal to the then
Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such
Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such L/C Borrowing or the Letter
of Credit Expiration Date, as the case may be). Sections 2.06 and 8.02(c) set
forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder, and
Section 2.03(a)(iii)(F) provides for the delivery of Cash Collateral or other
credit support in certain circumstances. The Borrower, and to the extent
provided by any Defaulting Lender or Impacted Lender pursuant to this
Section 2.03, such Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a security
interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all
other property provided as collateral under this Section 2.03, Section 2.06 and
Section 8.02(c), and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be
maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America.
Upon the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations, the
Administrative Agent shall immediately release the security interest in the
cash, deposit accounts and balances therein and proceeds thereof maintained as
Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.03(g).
     (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
(i) Cash Collateral or other credit support (and proceeds thereof) provided by
any Defaulting Lender or Impacted Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(iii) (F) to
support the obligations of such Lender in respect of Letters of Credit shall be
held and applied, first, to fund the L/C Advances of such Lender or such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Base Rate Loans arising from Letters of Credit with
respect to which such collateral or other credit support was provided, as
contemplated by the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03, and,

46

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

 

second, to fund (x) the L/C Advances of such Lender or such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of Base Rate Loans arising from any other Letters of Credit, as
contemplated by the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03, and (y) any
interest accrued for the benefit of the L/C Issuer pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)(vi) allocable to such Lender, and (ii) Cash Collateral and other
credit support (and proceeds thereof) otherwise provided by or on behalf of the
Borrower under Section 2.03, 2.06 or 8.02(c) to support L/C Obligations shall be
held and applied, first, to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations so
supported and, second, if remedies under Section 8.02 shall have been exercised,
to the application of such collateral or other credit support (or proceeds
thereof) to any other Obligations in accordance with Section 8.03.
     (iii) Cash Collateral and other credit support provided under Section
2.03(a)(iii)(F) in connection with any Lender’s status as a Defaulting Lender or
an Impacted Lender shall be released (except as the L/C Issuer and the Person
providing such collateral or other credit support may agree otherwise) promptly
following the earlier to occur of (A) the termination of such Lender’s status as
a Defaulting Lender or Impacted Lender and (B) following the L/C Issuer’s good
faith determination that there remain outstanding no L/C Obligations as to which
it has actual or potential Disproportionate Facility Risk in relation to such
Lender as to which it desires to maintain Cash Collateral or other credit
support; subject, however, to the additional condition that, as to any such
collateral or other credit support provided by or on behalf of the Borrower, no
Default or Event of Default shall then have occurred and be continuing.
     (h) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by
the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any
such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the
ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the
Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published
by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to
each commercial Letter of Credit.
     (i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a
Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit
equal to the Applicable Rate times 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); provided, however, any Letter of Credit
Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to
any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash
Collateral or other credit support arrangements satisfactory pursuant to this
Section 2.03 shall be payable for the account of the L/C Issuer; provided,
further, with respect to any Letter of Credit, to the extent the Borrower
provides Cash Collateral or other credit support pursuant to
Section 2.03(a)(iii)(F) in respect of a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall
not be required to pay any Letter of Credit Fees allocable to such portion of
such Letter of Credit for which the Borrower has provided such Cash Collateral
or other credit support in respect of a Defaulting Lender. Letter of Credit Fees
shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such Letter of Credit Fees
shall be due and payable (i) on the earlier of (A) 7 days 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, and (B)

47

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

 

upon receipt of an invoice by the Borrower with respect to such Letter of Credit
Fees, (ii) on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and (iii) thereafter on
demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the
daily maximum amount of 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, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees
shall accrue at the Default Rate.
     (j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C
Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a
fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit in the amount specified in
the Fee Letter, payable on the actual 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). Such fronting fee shall be computed on a
quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable (i) on
the earlier of (A) 7 days 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, and (B) upon receipt of an invoice by the Borrower with
respect to such Letter of Credit Fees, (ii) on the Letter of Credit Expiration
Date and (iii) thereafter on demand. In addition, the Borrower shall pay
directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account 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.
     (k) 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.
     (l) Letters of Credit Issued for Restricted 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 Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower
shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all
drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the
issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Restricted Subsidiaries inures
to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives
substantial benefits from the businesses of such Restricted Subsidiaries.
     2.04. Swing Line Loans.
     (a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set
forth in this Section 2.04, may in its sole and absolute discretion make loans
(each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any
Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed
at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding
the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Outstanding Amount
of the Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing
Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided,
however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total
Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the Borrowing Base and (y) the
Aggregate Commitments and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving
Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the

48

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

 

Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s
Commitment, and provided further that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of
any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the
foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the
Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.06, and
reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest only
at a rate based on the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. Immediately upon the
making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a
risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of
such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.
     (b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the
Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative
Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the
Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the
requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which
shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which
shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly
by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written
Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Borrower. 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 notified the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent prior to 2:30 p.m. on the date of the Swing Line Loan
Notice that it will not make a Swing Line Loan or has received notice (by
telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request
of any Lender) prior to 3:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line
Borrowing (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 IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 4:00
p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the
amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower at its office by
crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Swing Line Lender in
immediately available funds.
     (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time
in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower
(which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its
behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of all 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 unutilized portion
of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The
Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan
Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each
Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount of all

49

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

 

Swing Ling Loans as specified in such Loan Notice available (including for this
purpose Cash Collateral and other credit support available with respect to the
applicable Swing Line Loan provided by any Defaulting Lender or Impacted Lender
pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(v)) to the Administrative Agent in immediately
available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative
Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan
Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes
funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in
such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the
Swing Line Lender.
     (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a
Revolving Credit Borrowing 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 Lenders fund
its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each 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 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
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 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, plus any administrative, processing or
similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the
foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as
aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in
the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan,
as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any
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 Revolving Credit 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 which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the
Borrower 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
Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such
funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation
of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided
herein.

50

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

 

     (v) In the event that the Swing Line Lender, in the exercise of its
discretion, requires that, as a condition to the making of any Swing Line Loan,
a Defaulting Lender or Impacted Lender enter into arrangements satisfactory to
the Swing Line Lender for the provision of sufficient Cash Collateral or other
credit support acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender,
to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s actual or potential Disproportionate
Facility Risk with respect to any such Defaulting Lender or Impacted Lender as
to either the Swing Line Loan then proposed to be issued or such Swing Line Loan
and all other Swing Line Loans as to which the Swing Line Lender has actual or
potential Disproportionate Facility Risk, as the Swing Line Lender may elect in
its discretion, then:
     (A) To the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender or Impacted Lender
pursuant to this Section 2.04, such Defaulting Lender or Impacted Lender, hereby
grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent,
the Swing Line Lender and the Lenders, a security interest in all Cash
Collateral and all other property provided as collateral under this
Section 2.04, and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be
maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America.
     (B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
Cash Collateral or other credit support (and proceeds thereof) provided by any
Defaulting Lender or Impacted Lender pursuant to this Section 2.04 to support
the obligations of such Defaulting Lender or Impacted Lender in respect of Swing
Line Loans shall be held and applied, first, to fund, as applicable, the
participations of such Defaulting Lender or Impacted Lender arising from, or
Base Rate Loans issued to repay, Swing Line Loans with respect to which such
collateral or other credit support was provided, as contemplated in the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c), and, second, to fund (x) as
applicable, the participations of such Defaulting Lender or Impacted Lender
arising from, or Base Rate Loans issued to repay, Swing Line Loans arising from
any other Swing Line Loans, as contemplated in the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.04(c), and (y) any interest accrued for the benefit of the Swing Line
Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(iii) allocable to such Defaulting Lender or
Impacted Lender.
     (C) Cash Collateral and other credit support provided under this Section
2.04 in connection with any Lender’s status as a Defaulting Lender or an
Impacted Lender shall be released (except as the Swing Line Lender and the
Person providing such collateral or other credit support may agree otherwise)
promptly following the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of such Lender’s
status as a Defaulting Lender or Impacted Lender or (ii) following the Swing
Line Lender’s good faith determination that there remain outstanding no Swing
Line Loans as to which it has actual or potential Disproportionate Facility Risk
in relation to such Defaulting Lender or Impacted Lender as to which it desires
to maintain Cash Collateral or other credit support.

51

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

 

     (d) Repayment of Participations. (i) At any time after any 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 Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof 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 10.05
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in
its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata
Share thereof on demand 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 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 the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans.
Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to
this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line
Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account
of the Swing Line Lender.
     (f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all
payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly
to the Swing Line Lender.
     2.05. Repayment of Loans as of the Second Restatement Effective Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article II upon its receipt of
the proceeds of the Loans, the Borrower shall apply a portion of such proceeds
sufficient to (i) prepay in full the First Restatement Loans which are not being
converted by First Restatement Lenders into Loans hereunder, (ii) pay all
accrued and unpaid interest and fees, if any, on all such First Restatement
Loans held by First Restatement Lenders that are being prepaid and (iii) pay to
all First Restatement Lenders all other amounts then due and owing as a result
of the prepayment of such First Restatement Loans.
     2.06. Prepayments.
     (a) (i) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any
time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Revolving Credit Loans in whole or
in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be
received by the Administrative 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; (B) any prepayment of Eurodollar
Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$500,000 in excess thereof; and (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be
in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess
thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then
outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such
prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will
promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the
amount of such

52

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

 

Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the
Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued
interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to
Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders
in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.
     (ii) The Borrower 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
(A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative
Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such
prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice
shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by
the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
     (b) If for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the lesser
of (x) the Borrowing Base and (y) the Aggregate Commitments then in effect, the
Borrower shall immediately prepay Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans
and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to
such excess; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash
Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) unless after
the prepayment in full of the Loans, the Total Outstandings exceed the lesser of
(x) the Borrowing Base and (y) the Aggregate Commitments then in effect.
     (c) If the Borrower or any Guarantor sells any assets permitted under
Section 7.05 and, after giving effect to such sale, the Total Outstandings
exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect, the Net Cash Proceeds of such sale
shall be applied to the prepayment of the Loans in an amount necessary to
eliminate any such excess.
     2.07. Termination or Reduction of Commitments.
     The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the
Aggregate Commitments or the Swing Line Sublimit or from time to time
permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments or the Swing Line Sublimit;
provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent
not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to the date of termination
or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of
$1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (iii) the
Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments if, after
giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total
Outstandings would exceed the lesser of (x) the Borrowing Base and (y) the
Aggregate Commitments. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders
of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any
reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of
each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share. All fees accrued until the
effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on
the effective date of such termination.
     2.08. Repayment of Loans.

53

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

 

     (a) The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the
aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such
date.
     (b) The Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur
of (i) the date ten Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity
Date.
     (c) In the event that any payment shall be made in respect of the principal
amount of any Loan, whether by voluntary or mandatory prepayment, at maturity or
pursuant to Article VIII, or any Defaulting Lender shall obtain by set off or
otherwise any payment of principal on any Loan or in respect of certain fees it
is required to deliver to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.08,
all such payments otherwise payable to or for the account of (or obtained by)
such Defaulting Lender shall be applied promptly following receipt by the
Administrative Agent, first, to the payment of any obligations or liabilities
owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, second, if at such
time there exist any Disproportionate Facility Risk allocable to such Defaulting
Lender in respect of (x) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans,
(y) the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans or (z) Unreimbursed Amounts in
respect of Letters of Credit, to reduce such Disproportionate Facility Risk
(such payments of Loans, Swing Line Loans and Unreimbursed Amounts to be made
ratably among all Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer who have
incurred the same in accordance with the respective amounts of such
Disproportionate Facility Risk allocable to each of them), third, to Cash
Collateralize pursuant to Section 2.03 the remaining Disproportionate Facility
Risk allocable to such Defaulting Lender then incurred by the L/C Issuer, and,
fourth, to Cash Collateralize pursuant to Section 2.04 the remaining
Disproportionate Facility Risk allocable to such Defaulting Lender then incurred
by the Swing Line Lender, prior to any payment to such Defaulting Lender.
     2.09. 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 Eurodollar Rate for such
Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate and (ii) each Base Rate Loan and 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.
     (b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (after
giving effect to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter, and until paid, bear
interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to the Default Rate to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
     (ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the
Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (after giving effect to
any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise, then upon the written request of the Required Lenders, such amount
shall thereafter, and until paid, bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate
per annum equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws.

54

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

 

     (iii) Upon the written request of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists (other than as provided in
Section 2.09(b)(i) and (ii)), the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal
amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate
per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable Laws.
     (iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on
past due interest) shall be due and payable upon written demand.
     (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be
specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with
the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the
commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
     2.10. Fees. In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and
(j) of Section 2.03:
     (a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a commitment
fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by which the
Aggregate Commitments exceed the Total Outstandings; provided, however, that no
such fee shall be payable for the account of any Defaulting Lender and, in
making the foregoing calculation, the Commitment of Defaulting Lenders shall be
deducted from the Aggregate Commitments. The commitment fee shall accrue at all
times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or
more of the conditions in Article IV is not met or otherwise waived, and shall
be due and payable quarterly in arrears on (i) the earlier of (x) 7 days after
the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first
such date to occur after the Second Restatement Effective Date and (y) upon the
receipt of an invoice by the Borrower with respect to such commitment fee, and
(ii) on the Maturity Date. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in
arrears, and 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. Swing Line Loans will not be considered utilization of the Aggregate
Commitment for purposes of this calculation, except to the extent that a Lender
has purchased a participation in a Swing Line Loan under Section 2.04(c).
     (b) Other Fees. (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Arranger 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 not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
     (ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been
separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.
Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any
reason whatsoever.
     2.11. Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for
Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Bank of America’s “prime
rate” shall be made on

55

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

 

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 2.13(a), bear interest for one
day.
     2.12. 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 Administrative
Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by
the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest
error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower
and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in
doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the
Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In
the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any
Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of
such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control
in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through
the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender
(through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s
Loans in addition to such accounts or records. 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. Each First Restatement
Lender that has a note evidencing its First Restatement Loan which is being
converted into a Loan hereunder shall promptly deliver to the Borrower such note
in exchange for a Note evidencing its Loan.
     (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a),
each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its
usual practice accounts or records evidencing 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
Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of
such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control
in the absence of manifest error.
     2.13. Payments Generally.
     (a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition
or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder
shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective
Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in
Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon on the date
specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each
Lender, except any Defaulting Lender (other than Defaulting Lenders who have
fully funded their respective portions of all outstanding Loans and provided
Cash Collateral or other credit support under Sections 2.03 and 2.04, as
applicable, to eliminate Disproportionate Facility Risk

56

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

 

attributable to them with respect to Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans) its
Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in
like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All
payments received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon shall be deemed
received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee
shall continue to accrue.
     (b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other
than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day,
and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as
the case may be.
     (c) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative
Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the
Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case
may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the
Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and
may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a
corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that
such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately
available funds, then:
     (i) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall
forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such
assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available
funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including
the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such
Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in
immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in
effect; and
     (ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith
on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately
available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date
such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to
the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation
Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time
in effect. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then
such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable
Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the
Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a
demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the
Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period
at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable
Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its
obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the
Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of
any default by such Lender hereunder.
     A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with
respect to any amount owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive,
absent manifest error.

57

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

 

     (d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative 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 Borrower by the
Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension
set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms
hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as
received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
     (e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Revolving Credit Loans
and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make
payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of
any Lender to make any Revolving Credit Loan or to fund any such participation
or to make any payment under Section 10.4(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 Revolving Credit Loan, or to purchase its participation or
to make its payments under Section 10.04(c).
     (f) 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.
     (g) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the
Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings,
interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first,
toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the
parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees
then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal and L/C
Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of principal and L/C Borrowings then due to such
parties.
     2.14. Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere
herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the
participations in L/C Obligations held by it, any payment (whether voluntary,
involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in
excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof,
such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact,
and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Revolving
Credit Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the participations in
L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall
be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in
respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with
each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess
payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the
circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to
that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing
Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such
paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of
such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered
from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by
the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without
further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a
participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law,

58

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

 

exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject
to Section 10.08) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender
were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and
binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this
Section and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or
repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section
shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests,
demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect
to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the
purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.
     2.15. Increase in Commitments.
     (a) Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative
Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may request an
increase in the Aggregate Commitments by an amount (for all such requests) not
exceeding $150,000,000; provided that (i) each request for an increase shall be
in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 (or such other amount as agreed to by the
Administrative Agent) and (ii) the Aggregate Commitments as so increased shall
not exceed $450,000,000. At the time of sending any such notice, the Borrower
(in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period
within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be
less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the
Lenders). Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time
period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether
by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Pro Rata Share of such
requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be
deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment. The Administrative Agent
shall promptly thereafter notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’
responses (or non-responses) to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full
amount of a requested increase, the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible
Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.
     (b) If the Aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this
Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective
date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase.
The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of
the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date and
provide to each Lender and the Borrower a revised Schedule 2.01 reflecting such
increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the
Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions
adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such increase, and
(ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the
representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan
Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the
Increase Effective Date, 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 2.15, the representations and warranties contained
in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most
recent statements furnished pursuant to subsections (a) and (b),

59

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

 

respectively, of Section 6.01, and (B) no Default exists. In the event that
there are any Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date, upon notice from
the Administrative Agent to each Lender, the amount of Loans owing to each
Lender shall be appropriately adjusted to the extent necessary to keep the
outstanding Loans ratable with any revised Pro Rata Shares arising from any
nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section and the Borrower shall
pay any amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.
     (c) This Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.14 or 10.01
to the contrary.
ARTICLE III.
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
     3.01. Taxes.
     (a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of
Taxes.
     (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by
applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding
for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require the Borrower, any Guarantor
or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be
withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws upon the basis of the
information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.
     (ii) If the Borrower, any Guarantor or the Administrative Agent shall be
required by applicable Laws to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both
United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any
payment, then (A) the Borrower, such Guarantor or the Administrative Agent, as
the case may be, shall withhold or make such deductions as it determines to be
required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant
to subsection (e) below, (B) the Borrower, such Guarantor or the Administrative
Agent, as the case may be, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and
(C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower or such
Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding
or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
     (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions
of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.
     (c) Tax Indemnifications. Without limiting the provisions of subsection
(a) or (b) above, the Borrower shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and shall make payment in
respect thereof within 10 days after

60

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

 

written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative
Agent, such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates, as the
case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or
liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf
or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.
     (d) Evidence of Payments. Upon reasonable request by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in
this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the
Administrative Agent shall deliver to the 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 the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.
     (e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. (i) Each Lender shall deliver to
the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by
applicable Laws, on or before it becomes a party to this Agreement and when
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly
completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the
taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested
information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case
may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any
other Loan Document are subject to withholding or deduction of Taxes, (B) if
applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s
entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes
in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to
this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding
tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.
     (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
     (A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or
such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine
whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information
reporting requirements; and
     (B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable
treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to
payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to

61

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

 

the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be
requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign
Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
     (I) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming
eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a
party,
     (II) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
     (III) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all
required supporting documentation,
     (IV) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption
for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to
the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of
section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower
within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled
foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and
(y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or
     (V) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a
basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal
withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
     In addition, in the case of the forgoing clauses (A) and (B), each Lender
shall deliver new such forms and documentation on or before the obsolescence,
expiration or invalidity of any such form or documentation previously delivered
by such Lender.
     (iii) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render
invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not
be disadvantageous to it, in the sole judgment of such Lender, and as may be
reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to
avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for Taxes from
amounts payable to such Lender.
     (iv) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Lender shall not be
required to deliver any form, document or other information pursuant to this
Section 3.01(e) if such Lender is not legally able to deliver such form.

62

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

 

     (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no
time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise
pursue on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to
any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund 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 the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its
sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to
which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it
shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent
of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under
this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to
such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, (including any Taxes
imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Administrative
Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, in good faith and in
its sole discretion, and as will leave the Administrative Agent, such Lender or
the L/C Issuer in no worse position than it would be in if no such Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes had been imposed and without interest (other than any
interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative
Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to
the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the
L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer
is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection
shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the
L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating
to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
     3.02. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it
unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans
whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, or to
determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, then, on
written notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative
Agent, any obligation of such Lender (i) to make or continue Eurodollar Rate
Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) if such
notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest
rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, to make or maintain Base Rate Loans the
interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar component of
the Base Rate, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination
no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon
demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if
applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans
(the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary
to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without
reference to the 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, upon receipt of
the copy of the demand made by the Borrower to such Lender, shall during the
period of such suspension

63

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

 

compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the
Eurodollar Rate component thereof. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the
Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation
will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of
such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
     3.03. Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine in
connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or
continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in
the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest
Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not
exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with
respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or
proposed Base Rate Loan or (c) that the Eurodollar Rate for any requested
Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the
Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.
Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar
Rate Loans shall be suspended and (y) in the event of a determination described
in the preceding 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 (upon
the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of
such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans 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; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.
     (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
     (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by,
any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e)) or
the L/C Issuer; or
     (ii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market
any other condition, cost or expense 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 or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (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 Borrower will
pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case

64

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

 

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 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
participations in Letters of Credit 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 could 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
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 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 the Borrower shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The 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 the Borrower 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
six months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may
be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions and of such Lender’s 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 six-month period referred
to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
     (e) Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each
Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with
respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds
or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest
on the unpaid principal amount of each 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), which shall
be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan,
provided the Borrower shall have received at least 15 days’ prior notice (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender.
If a Lender fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment
Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 15 days from receipt of
such notice.

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

 

     3.05. Compensation for Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), accompanied by a certificate to the Borrower
pursuant to Section 3.06(a), from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly
compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or
expense reasonably incurred by it as a result of:
     (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other
than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period
for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of
acceleration, or otherwise);
     (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of
such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan
other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the
Borrower; or
     (c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last
day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 10.16;
including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from
the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or
from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.
The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such
Lender in connection with the foregoing.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under
this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar
Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit
or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable
amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was
in fact so funded.
     3.06. Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.
     (a) A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming
compensation or other amounts under this Article III and setting forth (i) in
reasonable detail the basis for such compensation, (ii) the additional amount or
amounts to be paid to such Person hereunder, (iii) the computations made by such
Person to determine such amount and (iv) a statement that the Administrative
Agent or such Lender is seeking comparable payments from similarly situated
borrowers. Such certificate as set forth in the preceding sentence shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the
Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and
attribution methods.
     (b) Upon any Lender’s making a claim for compensation under Section 3.01 or
3.04, or any Lender exercising its rights under Section 3.02, the Borrower may
replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.14.
     3.07. Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III
shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all
other Obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE V.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
     The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders that:
     5.01. Existence, Qualification and Power; Compliance with Laws. Each Loan
Party (a) is duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing
under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, (b) has

qualification or license, and (d) is in compliance with all Laws; except in each

so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
     5.02. Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and
performance by each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which such Person is
party, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other
organizational action, and do not and will not (a) contravene the terms of any
of such Person’s Organization Documents; (b) conflict with or result in any
breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under, (i) any
Contractual Obligation to which such Person is a party or (ii) any order,

to which such Person or its property is subject; or (c) violate any Law.
     5.03. Governmental Authorization; Other Consents. No approval, consent,
exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any
Governmental Authority or any other Person is necessary or required in
connection with the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement
against, any Loan Party of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for
those that have previously been obtained and are currently in full force and
effect.
     5.04. Binding Effect. This Agreement has been, and each other Loan
Document, when delivered hereunder, will have been, duly executed and delivered
by each Loan Party that is

70

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

 

party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document when so
delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan
Party, enforceable against each Loan Party that is party thereto in accordance
with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable Debtor Relief Laws.
     5.05. Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Effect.
     (a) The Audited Financial Statements (i) were prepared in accordance with
GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as
otherwise expressly noted therein; and (ii) fairly present the financial
condition of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of the date
thereof and their results of operations for the period covered thereby in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby,
except as otherwise expressly noted therein. The Borrower has previously
disclosed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders all material Indebtedness
and other material liabilities, direct or contingent, of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as of the Second Restatement Effective Date, including liabilities
for taxes, material commitments and Indebtedness.
     (b) Since December 31, 2008, there has been no event or circumstance,
either individually or in the aggregate, that has had or would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
     5.06. Litigation. Except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 5.06, there,
are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes pending or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower after due and diligent investigation, threatened or
contemplated, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental
Authority, by or against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or against any
of their properties or revenues that (a) purport to affect or pertain to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any of the transactions contemplated
hereby, or (b) either individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
     5.07. No Default. Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary is in
default under or with respect to any Contractual Obligation that would, either
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other
Loan Document.
     5.08. Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Borrower and each
Restricted Subsidiary has good record and marketable title in fee simple to, or
valid leasehold interests in, all real property necessary or used in the
ordinary conduct of its business, except for such defects in title as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. The property of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries is
subject to no Liens, other than Liens permitted by Section 7.01.
     5.09. Environmental Matters. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries conduct in
the ordinary course of business a review of the effect of existing Environmental
Laws and pending or threatened claims alleging potential Environmental Liability
on their respective businesses, operations and properties, and as a result
thereof the Borrower has reasonably concluded that,

71

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

 

except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 5.09, and after taking into account
the availability of any insurance proceeds or other amounts recovered from third
parties, such Environmental Laws and claims could not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
     5.10. Insurance. The properties of the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries are insured with financially sound and reputable insurance
companies not Affiliates of the Borrower, in such amounts, with such deductibles
and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in
similar businesses and owning similar properties in localities where the
Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary operates.
     5.11. Taxes. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all Federal and
state income tax returns and other material tax returns and reports required to
be filed, and have paid all Federal and state income taxes and other material
taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges levied or imposed upon
them or their properties, income or assets otherwise due and payable, except
(a) those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
diligently conducted and for which adequate reserves have been provided in
accordance with GAAP or (b) to the extent that a failure to do so would not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There is no
proposed tax assessment against the Borrower or any Subsidiary that would, if
made, have a Material Adverse Effect.
     5.12. ERISA Compliance.
     (a) Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable

intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code (i) has received a
favorable determination letter from the IRS, (ii) has outstanding an application
for such a letter that is currently being processed by the IRS with respect
thereto, or (iii) has a remedial amendment period for submitting such an
application that has not closed. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, nothing
has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, Plan qualification. The
Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate have made all required contributions to each
Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code, and no application for a funding waiver
or an extension of any amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code
has been made with respect to any Plan.
     (b) There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower,
threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority,
with respect to any Plan that would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. There has been no prohibited transaction or violation of the
fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan that has resulted or
would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
     (c) (i) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur;
(ii) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably
expects to incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any
Pension Plan (other than premiums due and not delinquent under Section 4007 of
ERISA and normal funding obligations); (iii) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA
Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no
event has occurred which, with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA,
would

72

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

 

result in such liability) under Sections 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a
Multiemployer Plan; and (iv) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has
engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Sections 4069 or 4212(c) of
ERISA.

specifically disclosed in Part (a) of Schedule 5.13 and has no equity
investments in any other corporation or entity other than those specifically
disclosed in Part(b) of Schedule 5.13, in each case, other than as otherwise
subsequently disclosed to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms
of Loan Documents.
     5.14. Margin Regulations; Investment Company Act; Public Utility Holding
Company Act.
     (a) The Borrower is not engaged and will not engage, principally or as one
of its primary activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin
stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the FRB), or extending
credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock.
     (b) None of the Borrower, any Person Controlling the Borrower, or any
Restricted Subsidiary (i) is a “holding company,” or a “subsidiary company” of a
“holding company,” or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or of a “subsidiary
company” of a “holding company,” within the meaning of the Public Utilities
Holding Company Act of 2005, as amended, or (ii) is or is required to be
registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
     5.15. Disclosure. All information, other than projections, which has been
or is hereafter made available to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders by the
Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document is and will be complete and correct in all
material respects. No report, financial statement, certificate or other
information furnished (in writing) by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder
(as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any
material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial
information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in
good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.
     5.16. Compliance with Laws. Each of the Borrower and each Restricted
Subsidiary is in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of
all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to
its properties, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or
order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (b) the failure to comply
therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

73

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

 

     5.17. Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. The Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid, binding and enforceable security
interest in the Collateral described therein, prior to all other Liens except
Permitted Liens.

Indebtedness and obligations being incurred in connection herewith will be and
will continue to be, Solvent.

Credit Extensions for working capital, capital expenditures and general
corporate purposes (including Permitted Acquisitions) not in contravention of
any Law or of any Loan Document and to refinance all amounts owing under the
Restated Credit Agreement.

     (f) promptly, such additional information regarding the business, financial

with the terms of the Loan Documents, as the Administrative Agent or any Lender
may from time to time reasonably request.
     Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b) or
Section 6.02(c) (to the extent any such documents are included in materials
otherwise filed with the SEC) may be delivered electronically and if so
delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date (i) on which the
Borrower posts such documents, or provides a link thereto on the Borrower’s
website on the Internet at the website address listed on Schedule 10.02; or
(ii) on which such documents are posted on the Borrower’s behalf on an Internet
or intranet website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent
have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by
the Administrative Agent); provided that: (i) the Borrower shall deliver paper

the Borrower to deliver such paper copies until a written request to cease
delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and
(ii) the Borrower shall notify (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail)
the Administrative Agent and each Lender of the posting of any such documents
and provide to the Administrative Agent by electronic mail electronic versions
(i.e., soft copies) of such documents. Notwithstanding anything contained

of the Compliance Certificates required by Section 6.02(a) to the Administrative

Lender shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it or maintaining
its copies of such documents.
     The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent and/or
the Arranger will make available to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer materials

IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain
of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to
receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its
Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be
engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such
Persons’ securities. The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially
reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may
be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials
shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall
mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof;
(x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have
authorized the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the L/C Issuer and the
Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material
non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with
respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal
and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower
Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in
Section 10.08); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be
made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor;”
and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Arranger shall treat any

registered patents, trademarks, trade names

77

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

 

and service marks of the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary, the
non-preservation of which would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
     6.06. Maintenance of Properties.
     Except with respect to transactions permitted by Section 7.04 or 7.05, (a)
maintain, preserve and protect all material properties and equipment necessary

Subsidiary, and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom, and to discuss the
affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary with
the directors, officers, and independent public accountants of the Borrower or

Administrative Agent in connection therewith to be paid by the Borrower, at such
reasonable times during normal business hours so long as no Default or Event of
Default shall then have occurred and be continuing, not more than twice during
any calendar year, in each case upon reasonable advance notice to the Borrower;
provided, however, that when an Event of Default exists the Administrative Agent
or any Lender (or any of their respective representatives or independent

78

any event within 30 days), cause such Person to (a) become a Guarantor by

Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or such other document as the Administrative
Agent shall reasonably deem appropriate for such purpose, and (b) upon the
request of the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent
documents of the types referred to in clauses (iii) and (iv) of Section 4.01(a)
and favorable opinions of counsel to such Person (which shall cover, among other
things, the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of the
documentation referred to in clause (a)), all in form, content and scope
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
     6.13. Borrowing Base Certificate and Related Reports. The Borrower shall
deliver or cause to be delivered (at the expense of the Borrower) to the
Administrative Agent the following:
     (a) in no event less frequently than twice a month on or prior to (i) the
fifteenth calendar day of each month, calculating the Borrowing Base as of the
first calendar day of such month and (ii) the last calendar day of each month,
calculating the Borrowing Base as of the fifteenth calendar day of such month,
in each case a Borrowing Base Certificate from the Borrower accompanied by such
supporting detail and documentation as shall be requested by the Administrative
Agent in its reasonable credit judgment; provided, however, to the extent,
during any period set forth above, the Total Outstandings shall be equal to or
exceed 80% of the lesser of (x) the Borrowing Base and (y) the Aggregate
Commitments (the “Enhanced Reporting Level”), the Borrower shall deliver no less
frequently than 7 days after the most recently ended week, calculating the
Borrowing Base as of the close of business of such week, the Borrowing Base
Certificate accompanied by such supporting detail and documentation as shall be

until two consecutive weeks elapsed during which the Total Outstandings shall be
less than the Enhanced Reporting Level);

comparison to the prior month’s trial balance and such supporting detail and
documentation as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent in its
reasonable credit judgment and (ii) each quarter, a summary of Eligible
Inventory and Eligible Product in Transit by location and type accompanied by
such supporting detail and documentation as shall be requested by the

with a copy of all or any part of such delivery requested by any Lender in
writing after the First Restatement Effective Date);

79

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

 

     (c) on the date any Borrowing Base Certificate is delivered pursuant to
Section 6.13(a), a collateral report with respect to the Loan Parties, including
all additions and reductions (cash and non-cash) with respect to Receivables of
the Loan Parties, accompanied by such supporting detail and documentation as
shall be requested by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable credit
judgment;
     (d) at each time of delivery of financial statements pursuant to
Section 6.01(a) or (b): (i) a reconciliation of the Receivables trial balance
and quarter-end Eligible Inventory reports of the Loan Parties to the general

included in the Collateral that has been disposed of other than in the ordinary
course of business since the date of the most recent collateral audit conducted
pursuant to Section 6.13(e) and the aggregate book value thereof;
     (e) on or before June 30 of each calendar year, a collateral audit to be
conducted by an auditor (which may include any Agent-Related Person), and in
form, scope and substance, reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;
and
     (f) such other reports, statements and reconciliations with respect to the
Borrowing Base or Collateral of any or all Loan Parties as the Administrative
Agent shall from time to time request in its reasonable credit judgment.
     The delivery of each certificate and report or any other information
delivered pursuant to this Section 6.13 shall constitute a representation and
warranty by the Borrower that the statements and information contained therein
are true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date.
     6.14. Borrowing Base Verification. Any of the Administrative Agent’s
officers, employees or agents (which shall include any Agent-Related Person)
shall have the right, not more than two times in any calendar year during normal
business hours (or at any time during normal business hours when an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing), in the name of the
Administrative Agent, any designee of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower,
to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to Receivables,
Eligible Inventory or Eligible Product in Transit by mail, telephone, electronic
communication, personal inspection or otherwise. The Borrower shall take
reasonable steps necessary to cooperate with the Administrative Agent in an
effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Administrative Agent’s officers,
employees or agents (which shall include any Agent-Related Person) shall have
the right to contact any third parties without the prior consent of the Borrower
(which consent may be granted or withheld in the Borrower’s sole discretion);
provided that no such consent shall be required following the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default. For the avoidance of doubt, any
rights granted under this Section 6.14 to any of the Administrative Agent’s
officers, employees or agents (which shall include any Agent-Related Person),
shall be in addition to, and in supplement of, any rights granted pursuant to
Section 6.10.

     6.15. Further Assurances. From time to time execute and deliver, or cause
to be executed and delivered, such additional instruments, certificates or
documents, and take all such actions, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
request for the purposes of implementing or effectuating the provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or of more fully perfecting or renewing
the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the
Collateral (or with respect to any additions thereto or replacements or proceeds
or products thereof or with respect to any other property or assets hereafter
acquired by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary which may be deemed to be
part of the Collateral) pursuant hereto or thereto. Upon the exercise by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender of any power, right, privilege or remedy
pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which requires any
consent, approval, recording, qualification or authorization of any Governmental
Authority, the Borrower will execute and deliver, or will cause the execution
and delivery of, all applications, certifications, instruments and other
documents and papers that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may be
required to obtain from the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for
such governmental consent, approval, recording, qualification or authorization.
     6.16. Designation of Subsidiaries. The board of directors of the Borrower
may at any time designate any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, subject in
each case to the definitions of Restricted Subsidiary and Unrestricted
Subsidiary; provided that each Restricted Subsidiary shall at all times be a
Guarantor under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and, provided further,
that except for the Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 6.16 hereof which are, as of
the Second Restatement Effective Date and until designated otherwise in
accordance with the terms hereof, Unrestricted Subsidiaries, no designation by
the board of directors of the Borrower of any Restricted Subsidiary as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be effective unless:
     (a) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent written
notice of such designation, together with (i) a Borrowing Base Certificate,
calculating the Borrowing Base as of the date of the proposed effectiveness of
such designation, demonstrating that the Total Outstandings will not exceed the
Borrowing Base after giving effect to such designation (and any applicable
prepayment of Total Outstandings pursuant to Section 2.06(b)) and (ii) a
certificate, dated the date of such designation, setting forth reasonably
detailed calculations demonstrating pro forma compliance with the financial
covenants set forth in Section 7.11 after giving effect to such designation; and
     (b) immediately before and after giving effect to such designation, no
Default or Event of Default shall then have occurred and be continuing.
     For avoidance of doubt, the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute for purposes of Sections 7.02 and 7.06
an Investment therein as of the date of such designation in an amount equal to
the net book value of the Borrower’s or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary’s
investment therein, and the designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a
Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute, inter alia, the incurrence at the time
of designation of any Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such
time.

are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower;
     (c) require that the Borrower Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an
order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the
United States, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of
the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the
unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other

obligation of the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as
aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act
of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

permitted under Section 6.4 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, any
amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the
Administrative Agent in the following order:

Issuer) and amounts payable under Article III, ratably among them in proportion
to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.
     Subject to Section 2.03(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the
aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth 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 or otherwise
promptly returned to the Borrower.
ARTICLE IX.
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
     9.01. Appointment and Authority. (a) Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer
hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the
Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes
the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such
powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or
thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and neither the Borrower
nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any
of such provisions.
     (b) The Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent 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
reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as
“collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed
by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or
enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the
Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at
the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of
all provisions of this Article IX and Article X (including Sections 10.04(b) and
10.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the
“collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with
respect thereto.
     9.02. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent
hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as
any other Lender and may

93

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

 

exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term
“Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the
context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative
Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may
accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any
other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with
the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were
not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor
to the Lenders.
     9.03. Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any
duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other
Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent:
     (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
     (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise
any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent
is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for
herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent
shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of
its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is
contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and
     (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to
disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that
is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent
or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
     The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or
such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the
Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall
be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice
describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a
Lender or the L/C Issuer.
     The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set
forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction
of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent.

94

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

 

     9.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any
notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting
or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed,
sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent
also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed
by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability
for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to
the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms
must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the
Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such
Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative 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. The Administrative Agent may
consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such
counsel, accountants or experts.
     9.05. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and
all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any
other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may
perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this
Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective
activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided
for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
     9.06. Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at
any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the
Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders
shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor,
which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of
any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall
have been so appointed by the Required Lenders (with the consent of the
Borrower; provided that no such consent will be required following the
occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default) and
shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring
Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, in
consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting
the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent
shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted
such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in
accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the
Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such
collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is
appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to
be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or
to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required
Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided

95

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

 

for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or
retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this
Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent
shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed
between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions
of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of
such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related
Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them
while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
     Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line
Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line
Lender, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged
from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents, and (c) 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 arrangement satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to
effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to
such Letters of Credit.
     9.07. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender
and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related
Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.
     9.08. No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, none of the Persons listed on the cover page hereof or
identified on the signature pages hereto as “syndication agents,”
“co-documentation agents,” “co-agent,” “book manager,” “lead manager,”
“arranger” or “lead arranger” shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity,
as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender, a Swing Line Lender or the
L/C Issuer hereunder.
     9.09. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the
pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of
whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and
payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether the

96

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

 

Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise
     (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C
Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C
Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and
all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent
under Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.10 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial
proceeding; and
     (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent
and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent
any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10 and 10.04.
     Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative
Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or
the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the L/C
Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of
any Lender or the L/C Issuer or in any such proceeding.
     9.10. Collateral and Guarantee Matters. The Lenders and the L/C Issuer
irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its
discretion,
     (a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the
Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than
contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all
Letters of Credit, (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection
with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or
(iii) subject to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing
by the Required Lenders;
     (b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such
property that is permitted by Section 7.01(i); and
     (c) to release any Guarantor, including Roadrunner Pipeline, L.L.C. and
Lovington — Artesia, L.L.C., from its obligations under the Guarantee and
Collateral

97

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

 

Agreement if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction
permitted hereunder.
     Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders
will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or
subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release
any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement
pursuant to this Section 9.10. In each case as specified in this Section 9.10,
the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to
the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably
request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment
and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate
its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations
under the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, in each case in accordance with the
terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10.
     9.11. Indemnification of the Administrative Agent. To the extent required
by any applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to
any Lender or the L/C Issuer an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding
tax. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or
other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not
properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender or
the L/C Issuer (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly
executed, or because such Lender or the L/C Issuer failed to notify the
Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption
from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason),
such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent
harmless, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after
demand therefor, for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the
Administrative Agent, as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and
including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the
Administrative Agent under this Section 9.11, together with all costs and
expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses). Each Lender and the L/C Issuer
hereby authorizes the Administrative 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
Administrative Agent under this Section 9.11. The obligations of the Lenders and
the L/C Issuer under this Section 9.11 shall survive the payment of all
Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.
ARTICLE X.

     10.01. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the
Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing

the case may be, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each such

     (g) except as expressly provided in Section 9.10, release any Guarantor
from the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement without the written consent of each
Lender or release all or a material part of the Collateral, in each case except

thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have
any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder,
except that the

Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent
of such Lender.

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

any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”)
against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees,

and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of
the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a
demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in
connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter
of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous
Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third
party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any
Indemnitee is a party thereto, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR
ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE
NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim
brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach
in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan
Document, if the 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.
     (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any
reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or
(b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any
sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing,
each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such
sub-agent), the L/C Issuer 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) of such unpaid amount,
provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in
its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing
acting for the

103

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

     (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim
against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages)
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other
Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or 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 to such unintended recipients by
such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information
transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for
direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable

repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.
     10.05. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf
of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any
Lender, or the Administrative 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 the
Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent upon
demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered
from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date
of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the
Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. 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.
     10.06. Successors and Assigns.
     (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, except that no

104

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

 

Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each
Lender and the Swing Line Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer
any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in
accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of
participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this
Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject
to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted
assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in
this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any
Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this
Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
     (b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all
or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all
or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this
subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at
the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of
the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans
at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (as defined in subsection (g) of this
Section) with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which
for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) subject to each such
assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect
to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date”
is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not
be less than $5,000,000 unless each of (A) the Administrative Agent, (B) so long
as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower and (C) the
Swing Line Lender, otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed); (ii) 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) any
assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent and the
L/C Issuer unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender
(whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible
Assignee); and (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to
the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a
processing and recordation fee of $3,500 payable by the applicable assignor, and
the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Subject to acceptance and
recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this
Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement
and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption,
have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the
assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender
shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and
circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of

105

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

 

such assignment). Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and
deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of
rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
subsection (d) of this Section.
     (c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each
Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of
the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal
amounts 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, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the
terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent
shall maintain in the Register the designation, and revocation of designation,
of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender or an Impacted Lender of which it has
received notice. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In
addition, at any time that a request for consent for a material or other
substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to
consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from
the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.
     (d) Any Lender may at any time, upon notice to (but without the consent of)
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person
(other than (A) a natural person, (B) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s
Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (C) any Defaulting Lender or its 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation
shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that
such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any
amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to
Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e)
of this Section, the Borrower agrees 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. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a
Lender.
     (e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment
under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled
to receive with respect to the

106

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

 

participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to
such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be
entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the
benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 10.14 and Section 3.01(e) as
though it were a Lender.
     (f) 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.
     (g) As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:
     “Eligible Assignee” means (a) a Lender; (b) an Affiliate of a Lender;
(c) an Approved Fund; and (d) any other Person (other than a natural person)
approved by (i) the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, and (ii) unless an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (each such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that
notwithstanding the foregoing, “Eligible Assignee” shall not include (x) the
Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (ii) any
Defaulting Lender or its Subsidiaries.
     “Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is (or will be)
engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial
loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business.
     “Approved Fund” means any Fund that is administered or managed by (a) a
Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an
entity that administers or manages a Lender.
     (h) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be
deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic
form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or
enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based
recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in
any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act,
or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions
Act.
     (i) 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, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the
Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or as a Swing Line Lender. In the event of any
such resignation as L/C Issuer and/or as a Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall
be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer and/or a
Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower
to

107

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

 

appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as
L/C Issuer and/or as a Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. 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, (a) 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 (b) 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.
     10.07. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below),
except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and
its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents,
advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such
disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the
extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction
over it (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 or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to
the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to
the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a
result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source
other than the Borrower. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all
information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to
any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other
than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any
Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any
Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof, provided that, in the case of information
received from a Loan Party or any such Subsidiary after the Second Restatement
Effective Date, 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.

108

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

 

     Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer
acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public
information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it
has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public
information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in
accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state
securities Laws.
     10.08. Right of 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, 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 Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or
hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such
Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C
Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or
unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer
different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such
indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall
exercise any such right of setoff, all amounts so set off (other than amounts
accrued and owing for (x) interest due and owing to such Defaulting Lender
pursuant to Section 2.09, and (y) Letter of Credit Fees which such Defaulting
Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.03(i), all of which shall
nevertheless remain subject to Section 2.13) shall be paid over immediately to
the Administrative Agent for application in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.08(c) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such
Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit
of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. 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 the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after
any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
     10.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the
Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest
permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or
any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate,
the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it
exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether
the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or
a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an
expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments
and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in
equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated
term of the Obligations hereunder.

109

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

 

     10.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
     10.11. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents,
comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject
matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral,
on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of
this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this
Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or
remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan
Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document
was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and
shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in
accordance with the fair meaning thereof.
     10.12. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and
warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document
delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith
shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such
representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of
any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full
force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall
remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.
     10.13. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality,
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the
parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of
which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this
Section 10.13, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in
this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders or Impacted Lenders shall be
limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative
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.
     10.14. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or an Impacted Lender
other than a Defaulting Lender or an Impacted Lender that has fully funded its
respective portions of all outstanding Loans and provided Cash Collateral or
other credit support pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, as applicable, to
eliminate Disproportionate Facility Risk attributable to it with respect to
Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans, then the Borrower may, at its sole
expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the

110

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

 

Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and
consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee
that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a
Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
     (a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment
fee specified in Section 10.06(b);
     (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to
the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the
Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
     (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments thereafter; and
     (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.
     A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation
if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation
cease to apply.
     10.15. Governing Law.
     (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER
SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.
     (b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK

ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR
ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT

Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its
Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services
regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Arranger
are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its
Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Arranger, on
the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting,
regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the
Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks

Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent and the Arranger each is and has
been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by
the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an
advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any
other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger has any
obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth
herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent and
the Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of
transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and
its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger has any
obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases
any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent and the Arranger
with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in
connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
     10.18. USA PATRIOT ACT NOTICE. EACH LENDER THAT IS SUBJECT TO THE ACT (AS
HEREINAFTER DEFINED) AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (FOR ITSELF AND NOT ON BEHALF
OF ANY LENDER) HEREBY NOTIFIES THE BORROWER THAT PURSUANT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF
