Revolving Credit Commitments (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of each
Continuing Lender and New Lender shall be as set forth on Schedule 2.01 attached

from liens or encumbrances, in whole or in part, other than the warranty of any
such Existing Lender that it has not previously sold, transferred, conveyed or
encumbered such interests. The Continuing Lenders and New Lenders shall, if
appropriate, make all appropriate adjustments in payments under the Credit
Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents for periods prior to the

pursuant to Section 3.05 solely as a result of the assignments set forth in this
Section 3.1.

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

3.2 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Continuing Lender

any Revolving Credit Loans of such Continuing Lender immediately prior to the
First Amendment Effective Date shall remain outstanding to the extent of (but
not in excess of) the amount set forth under the heading “Revolving Credit
Commitment” opposite such Continuing Lender’s name on Schedule 2.01 attached
hereto, and shall continue to constitute its Revolving Credit Commitment and
Revolving Credit Loans, respectively, under the Credit Agreement, and (b) to the
extent such Revolving Credit Commitment and, if outstanding, any Revolving
Credit Loans of such Continuing Lender immediately prior to the First Amendment
Effective Date exceeds the amount set forth under the heading “Revolving Credit
Commitment” opposite such Continuing Lender’s name on Schedule 2.01 attached
hereto, such excess shall be deemed to have been assigned to the other Lenders
listed on Schedule 2.01 as contemplated by Section 3.1.

(including each Continuing Lender whose Revolving Credit Commitment is being
increased pursuant to this Amendment, solely in respect of such increase) agrees

defined in the Credit Agreement) shall be deemed to be the amount set forth
under the heading “Revolving Credit Commitment” opposite such New Lender’s name
on Schedule 2.01 attached hereto.

3.4 The aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments (as
defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the First Amendment Effective Date shall

3.5 From and after the First Amendment Effective Date, (a) upon receipt by each
Exiting Lender of an amount equal to all principal, interest, fees and breakage
costs (if any) in respect of outstanding Loans and other Loan Obligations owing
to such Exiting Lender under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Document,
such Exiting Lender shall cease with immediate effect to be a party to and a
Lender under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) no Exiting
Lender shall have any obligations or liabilities under the Credit Agreement with
respect to the period from and after the First Amendment Effective Date and,
without limiting the foregoing, no Exiting Lender shall have any Revolving
Credit Commitment under the Credit Agreement or any L/C Obligations outstanding
under the Credit Agreement and (iii) no Exiting Lender shall have any rights
under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that the rights
under the Credit Agreement expressly stated to survive the termination of the
Credit Agreement and the repayment of amounts outstanding thereunder shall
survive for the benefit of each Exiting Lender. Each Exiting Lender joins in the
execution of this First Amendment solely for purposes of effectuating this First
Amendment pursuant to Section 4 hereof and assigning its interests pursuant to
Section 3 hereof.

3.6 Effective as of the First Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower and the
Guarantors, for themselves and each of their Affiliates, hereby release each
Exiting Lender from any and all obligations owing under or in connection with
the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and release each Exiting

principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such
Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that after giving effect to any

other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Revolving Credit Loans may be
repaid under Section 2.05 and reborrowed in accordance with this Section 2.01;
provided that the Revolving Credit Loans, if any, shall be repaid in full on the

on the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan
Commitment. Term Loans that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

Section 2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and
each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s
irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by
(A) telephone or (B) Borrowing Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must
be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing
Notice. Such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than
(i) 12:30 p.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any
Borrowing or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or any conversion of Base
Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (ii) 11:00 a.m. on the requested date
of any Borrowing of a Base Rate Loan. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as
provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to
Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Line Loans as to which this Section 2.02 shall
not apply) shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of
$100,000 in excess thereof. Each Borrowing Notice shall specify (i) whether the
Borrower is requesting a Borrowing (and the Class thereof), a conversion of
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 Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration

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 Borrowing Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be
deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.

(b) Following receipt of a Borrowing Notice, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each applicable Lender of the amount of its share of the
applicable Borrowing, 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 or continuations as
Eurodollar Rate Loans described in the preceding subsection. 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 (x) 1:00
p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Borrowing Notice in the
case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans or (y) 2:00 p.m.

a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions
set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is a Credit Extension on the
Closing Date, 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 the Administrative Agent 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 Borrowing 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) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued
or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate
Loan unless the Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05 in
connection therewith. During the existence of an Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require that no Loans may be
requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(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. 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 Loans from one
Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall
not be more than fifteen Interest Periods in effect with respect to all
Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any
Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any,
hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by
such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

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

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

modify 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 such L/C Issuer from issuing
such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request
or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental
Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that
such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or
such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with

cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such L/C
Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

(B) the issuance, amendment or other modification of such Letter of Credit would
violate any Laws or one or more policies of such L/C Issuer applicable to
letters of credit generally;

(C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable
L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than
$100,000;

(E) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of
the stated amount after any drawing thereunder;

Impacted Lender, unless each applicable L/C Issuer has received (as set forth in

L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) from either the Borrower or such Impacted
Lender or such Impacted Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations has been
reallocated pursuant to clause (a)(viii) below in respect of such Impacted
Lender’s obligation to fund under Section 2.03(c); or

( ) the aggregate amount of the L/C Obligations outstanding at such time with
respect to Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer would exceed $50,000,000
(or such greater amount with the consent of the L/C Issuer and the
Administrative Agent in their sole discretion).

(v) No L/C Issuer shall amend any Letter of Credit if such L/C Issuer would not
be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form
under the terms hereof.

 

47

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

(vi) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit
if (A) such 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.

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

(viii) In the case where any Revolving Credit Lender is at any time an Impacted
Lender, the Borrower and such Impacted Lender each agree, within one Business
Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, to cause to be deposited with
the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each applicable L/C Issuer, Cash
Collateral in the full amount of such Impacted Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
outstanding L/C Obligations; provided that, at the Borrower’s option, the
Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent, elect to reallocate all or
any part of the Impacted Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations among
all Revolving Credit Lenders that are not Impacted Lenders but only to the
extent (x) the total Revolving Credit Exposure of all Revolving Credit Lenders
that are not Impacted Lenders plus such Impacted Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
L/C Obligations and any Swing Line Loans, in each case, except to the extent
Cash Collateralized, does not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments
(excluding the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Impacted Lender except to the
extent of any outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of such Impacted Lender), (y)
such reallocation does not cause the Revolving Credit Exposure of any
non-Impacted Lender to exceed such non-Impacted Lender’s Revolving Credit
Commitment and (z) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at
such time (in which case the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Impacted
Lenders shall be deemed to be zero (except to the extent Cash Collateral has
been posted in respect of any portion of such Impacted Lender’s L/C Obligations
or participations in Swing Line Loans) solely for purposes of any determination
of the Revolving Credit Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares of L/C Obligations
(including for purposes of all fee calculations hereunder)). The Borrower and/or
such Impacted Lender hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit
of such L/C Issuer, a security interest in any Cash Collateral and all proceeds
of the foregoing with respect to such Impacted Lender’s participations in
Letters of Credit deposited hereunder. Such Cash Collateral shall be maintained
in blocked deposit accounts at Bank of America and may be invested

 

48

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

in cash equivalents reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held
as Cash Collateral under this clause (a)(viii) are subject to any right or claim
of any Person other than the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such L/C
Issuer or that the total amount of such funds is less than such Impacted
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all L/C Obligations that has not been reallocated as
provided above, the Borrower and/or such Impacted Lender will, promptly upon
demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as
additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the
excess of (I) such Impacted Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all L/C Obligations that
have not been so reallocated over (II) the total amount of funds, if any, then
held as Cash Collateral in respect thereof under this clause (a)(viii) that the
Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and
claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit
as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under
applicable Laws, to reimburse such L/C Issuer. If the Lender that triggers the
Cash Collateral requirement under this clause (a)(viii) ceases to be an Impacted
Lender (as determined in accordance with Section 2.03(a)(ix)), or if there are
no L/C Obligations outstanding, any funds held as Cash Collateral pursuant to
the foregoing provisions shall thereafter be returned to the Borrower or the
Impacted Lender, whichever provided the funds for the Cash Collateral, and the
Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations of each Revolving Credit Lender shall
thereafter take into account such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit
Commitment.

(ix) If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the
L/C Issuers agree in writing that a Lender is no longer an Impacted Lender, the
Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the
effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth
therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral),
that Lender will, to the extent that such Lender is a Revolving Credit Lender
and to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding
Revolving Credit Loans of the other Revolving Credit Lenders or take such other
actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the
Revolving Credit Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of
Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Revolving Credit Lenders
in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitments (without giving effect to
Section 2.03(a)(viii)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be an Impacted
Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to
fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender
was an Impacted Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent
otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from
Impacted Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of
any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been an Impacted Lender.

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

(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
submission by the Borrower upon request for an issuance of a Letter of Credit (a
“Letter of Credit Request”), delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent) substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (or,
with respect to the issuance or amendment of any Letter of Credit, such other
form as such L/C Issuer may reasonably request), appropriately completed and
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Request
may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by
electronic transmission using the system provided by the L/C Issuer, by personal
delivery or by any other means acceptable to the L/C Issuer. Such Letter of
Credit Request must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the
Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon at least three (3) Business Days
(or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and such 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 Request
shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C
Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which
shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof;
(D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be
presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full
text of any certificate to be prepared by such beneficiary in case of any
drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of any requested Letter of
Credit; and (H) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may require. In the case
of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter
of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to such L/C
Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of
amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the
proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may require.
Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the applicable 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 such L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Request, the applicable 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
Request from the Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the
Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the applicable L/C Issuer has
received written notice from any Revolving Credit 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,

 

50

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

subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the
requested date, issue a Letter of Credit or enter into the applicable amendment,
as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and
customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of
Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such L/C Issuer a risk
participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Revolving
Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request,
such 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 such 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 applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to
make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an
Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Credit Lenders
shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such 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 such
L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has
determined that it would not be permitted 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 (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has
received notice (which may be by telephone (confirmed promptly thereafter in
writing) or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days
before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the
Required Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from
the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrower that one
or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then
satisfied, and in each such case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such
extension; provided, further, that such L/C Issuer shall be under no obligations
to permit any such extension if such L/C Issuer has determined that it would be
under no obligation at such time to permit the issuance of such Letter of Credit
in its revised form (as extended) pursuant to the terms hereof (by reason of the
provisions of clause (iv) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise).

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a
Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary
thereof, such 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.

 

51

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

(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, such L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the event a drawing of a Letter of
Credit occurs prior to 10:00 a.m., then not later than 12:00 noon on the date of
any payment by such L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an
“Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer in an amount equal
to the amount of such drawing; provided that, if a drawing under a Letter of
Credit occurs after 10:00 a.m., then the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C
Issuer an amount equal to the amount of such drawing prior to 12:00 noon on the
next Business Day. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such
time, upon receipt from such L/C Issuer of notice of such failure, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the
Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”),
and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such
event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Revolving
Credit Loans that are 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 subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving
Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the
delivery of a Borrowing Notice). Any notice given by such 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 Revolving Credit Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such 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 1:00 p.m.
on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent,
whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving
Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a
Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount.
The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to such L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a
Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans because the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be
deemed to have incurred from such 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

 

52

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

bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Credit Lender’s
payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such 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 Revolving
Credit Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this
Section 2.03.

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

(v) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or
L/C Advances to reimburse such L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of
Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving
Credit Lender may have against such 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 Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation
to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) (but not L/C
Advances) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than
delivery by the Borrower of a Borrowing Notice). No such making of an L/C
Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to
reimburse such L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer
under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer any amount required to
be paid by such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of
this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such L/C
Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Credit 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 such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to
the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such L/C Issuer
in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any
administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C
Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Credit Lender pays
such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall
constitute such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the
relevant Revolving Credit Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant
L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of such L/C Issuer submitted to
any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to
any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.

 

53

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

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after the applicable L/C Issuer has made a payment under any
Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such
Revolving Credit 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
such 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 Revolving Credit 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 such
L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any
of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving
Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such 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 Revolving Credit Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the
Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving
Credit Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse each 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 regardless of any
circumstances, including any of the following:

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

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right
that 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), such 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;

 

54

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

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

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

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

(vii) any payment by any 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 such L/C Issuer under
such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy,
debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator,
receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any
transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with
any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(viii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, 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 promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be
conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against such 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, no L/C Issuer shall 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 any L/C Issuer, the
Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any
correspondent, participant or assignee of such 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, the Required Lenders, the Required
Revolving Lenders or the Required Class Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action
taken or omitted in the absence

 

55

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

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 Issuer Document. The Borrower and each Loan Party
hereby assume 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 or
a Loan Party, as the case may be, from pursuing such rights and remedies as it
may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other
agreement. None of any L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their
respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of
such L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described
in clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that
anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower or a Loan
Party, as the case may be, may have a claim against such L/C Issuer, and such
L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower or a Loan Party, as the case may be, to
the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential
or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower or such Loan Party, as the case
may be, which the Borrower or such Loan Party proves were caused by such L/C
Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final and
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or such 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, such 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 such 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.
Each L/C Issuer shall deliver to the Borrower copies of any documents purporting
to assign or transfer a Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer; provided
that, each L/C Issuer may send or conduct any communication to or from the
beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication
(“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable
means of communicating with a beneficiary. The failure of any L/C Issuer to
deliver such documents will not relieve the Borrower of its obligations
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.

(g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if any
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 and the conditions set
forth in Section 4.02 to a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans cannot then be
met, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation
for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case,
immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations. Sections 2.03(a)(viii), 2.05, 2.16, 8.02(c) and 8.04(d) set forth
certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. “Cash
Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the applicable L/C Issuer and the Revolving Credit
Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances
(“Cash Collateral”) pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent

 

56

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

and such L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders).
Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants
to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Lenders,
a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein
and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in
blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America and may be
invested in cash equivalents reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.
If at any time during which Cash Collateral is required to be maintained in
respect of L/C Obligations, the Administrative Agent determines that any funds
held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other
than the Administrative Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less
than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, the Borrower will,
forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative
Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal
to the excess of (x) such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (y) the total amount
of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent
determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of
any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such
funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, to
reimburse such L/C Issuer. To the extent that the amount of any such Cash
Collateral exceeds the then Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations and so long as
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the excess shall be refunded
to the Borrower.

(h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the
applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower, when a Letter of Credit is issued,
(i) the Borrower may specify that either the rules of the ISP or the rules of
the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (“UCP”), as most
recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of
issuance, apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP
shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible to the Borrower for, and the L/C
Issuer’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any
action or inaction of the L/C Issuer required under any law, order, or practice
that is required to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement,
including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where the L/C Issuer or the
beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or
in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the
ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade (BAFT), or
the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice.

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata
Share a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of
Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement equal to the Applicable Rate with
respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans times the daily amount then available to be
drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such amount is then in effect
under such Letter of Credit if such amount increases periodically pursuant to
the terms of such Letter of Credit) on a quarterly basis in arrears; provided
that (x) if any portion of an Impacted Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Letter of
Credit is Cash Collateralized by the Borrower or reallocated to the other

 

57

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

Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(viii), then the Borrower
shall not be required to pay to such Impacted Lender a Letter of Credit Fee with
respect to such portion of such Impacted Lender’s Pro Rata Share so long as it
is Cash Collateralized by the Borrower or reallocated to the other Revolving
Credit Lenders (but, if so reallocated, then the Borrower instead shall pay such
fee to the Revolving Credit Lenders to whom such portion has been reallocated)
and (y) if any portion of an Impacted Lender’s Pro Rata Share is not Cash
Collateralized or reallocated pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(viii), then the Letter
of Credit Fee with respect to such Impacted Lender’s Pro Rata Share shall be
payable to the applicable L/C Issuer until such Pro Rata Share is Cash
Collateralized or such Revolving Credit Lender ceases to be an Impacted Lender.
For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any
Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in
accordance with Section 1.06. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a
quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the tenth Business Day
after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the
first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of Administrative
Agent or the Required Revolving Lenders, while any Loan Obligation bears
interest at the Default Rate pursuant to Section 2.08(b), all Letter of Credit
Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers.
The Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account
a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it equal to the
greater of (i) $125 or (ii) one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum,
computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit
(whether or not such amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit if
such amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Letter of
Credit) and on a quarterly basis in arrears, and due and payable on the tenth
Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December,
commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter
of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For
purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of
Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance
with Section 1.06. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the
applicable L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation,
amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of
such 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 Subsidiaries or an MLP. Notwithstanding that a
Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any
obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary or an MLP, the Borrower
shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable 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 any other Person inures to
the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives
substantial benefits from the businesses of such Person.

Section 2.04 Swing Line Loans.

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Swing Line Lender may, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving
Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, agree in its sole discretion to
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
Revolving Credit Exposure of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed
the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that
after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the aggregate Revolving Credit
Exposure of all Revolving Credit Lenders shall not exceed the Aggregate
Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of
any Revolving Credit Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit
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 2.05, and
reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate
Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Credit
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 such Lender’s Pro Rata Share 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 (A) by telephone or (B) by a Swing Line Loan Notice;
provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to
the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a Swing Line Loan Notice
appropriately signed and completed by a Responsible Officer. Such notice must be
received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than
1:00 p.m. (or such later time as may be agreed by the Swing Line Lender) 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. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any
Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent
has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender
will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the
contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone
or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any
Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 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

 

59

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

limitations set forth in the provisos to the first sentence of Section 2.04, 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 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such
Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to 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 Revolving Credit
Lender make a Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal
to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line
Loans then outstanding (or, so long as the Revolving Credit Exposure of each
Revolving Credit Lender would not exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment as a
result thereof, such greater amount as is required to repay all outstanding
Swing Line Loans). Such request shall be made in writing (which written request
shall be deemed to be a Borrowing 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 Revolving Credit Commitments
and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall
furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Borrowing Notice promptly
after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit
Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified
in such Borrowing Notice available 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 Borrowing
Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Credit Lender
that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit
Loan that is 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 Borrowing
Notice 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 Revolving Credit Lenders
fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving
Credit 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.

 

60

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

(iii) If any Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit 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
Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid),
the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving
Credit 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 Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans
(but not to fund its risk participation) 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.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.04, the
Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans at a time
when a Lender Default exists with respect to a Revolving Credit Lender unless
the Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the
Borrower to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to each such
Impacted Lender’s participation in such Swing Line Loans (which arrangements are
hereby consented to by the Revolving Credit Lenders), including by cash
collateralizing such Impacted Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing
Line Loans.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (or
greater share of the amount funded) in the same funds as those received by the
Swing Line Lender.

 

61

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

(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 Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full
of the Loan 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 Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or risk
participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Revolving Credit
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro
Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan 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.

Section 2.05 Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments of Loans.

(i) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or
from time to time voluntarily prepay Revolving Credit Loans or any Class of Term
Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty except as set forth in
Section 2.05(d); provided that (i) such notice must be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than (A) 12:00 noon three (3) Business Days prior
to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) 11:00 a.m. one
Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any
prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $2,000,000
or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less,
the outstanding amount of such Loans; and (iii) 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
outstanding of such Loans. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of
such prepayment and the Class and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if
Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans.
The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of its
receipt of each such notice and the amount of such Lender’s pro rata share of
such

 

62

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

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 on the amount prepaid, together
with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such
prepayment shall be applied to prepay the Loans of the applicable Class on a pro
rata basis to the applicable Lenders in accordance with the respective amounts
of such Class of Loans held by each applicable Lender.

(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
(i) such notice must be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent and be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not
later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment
shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 or, if less, the entire
principal amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. 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.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (but
subject to Section 3.05), the Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment
under Section 2.05(a)(i) or 2.05(a)(ii) if such prepayment would have resulted
from a refinancing of all or a portion of the applicable outstanding Loans,
which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(iv) Voluntary prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied to the remaining
scheduled installments of principal thereof as directed by the Borrower.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments of the Term Loans.

(i) Upon the incurrence or issuance by the Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness expressly permitted to
be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.03 (unless such Indebtedness is
permitted to be incurred or issued under Section 7.03 solely if the proceeds
thereof are applied to prepay the Term Loans)), the Borrower shall prepay an
aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds
therefrom no later than one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof by the
Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary.

 

63

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

(ii) In each of the following circumstances (each as described in clauses
(A)-(C) below, a “Prepayment Offer Trigger Event”):

(A) the occurrence of any Disposition by the Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary (including any issuance of Equity Interests by a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Borrower or the sale by the Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary of Equity Interests in any other Person held by it), pursuant to
Section 7.06(i) or (l), that results in the realization of Net Cash Proceeds in
excess of $5,000,000 individually for such Disposition, or $10,000,000 in the
aggregate for such Disposition and all other such Dispositions occurring during
the same fiscal year;

(B) any Extraordinary Receipt is received by or paid to or for the account of
the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (that is not otherwise included in the
Net Cash Proceeds described in clause (A) above or clause (C) below); and

(C) the Borrower issues additional Equity Interests, other than pursuant to
Section 7.02(l) or Section 8.05;

the Borrower shall, no later than two (2) Business Days after the date on which
such Prepayment Offer Trigger Event occurs (such date, the “Offer Date”),
deliver to the Administrative Agent a written offer to prepay the Term Loans
and, if applicable, any Incremental Term Loans and any Refinancing Term
Facility, in an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Borrower
and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such Prepayment Offer Trigger
Event as follows:

(1) in the case of a Prepayment Offer Trigger Event described in
Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A) or (B) above, to the extent necessary for the Borrower to
be in compliance on a Pro Forma Basis as of the last day of the most recent
fiscal quarter for which a Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to
Section 6.02(a) ending prior to such Offer Date with a Consolidated Leverage
Ratio of not more than the ratio set forth below with respect to such fiscal
quarter:

 

Fiscal Quarter Ending

  

Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio

December 31, 2014 – December31, 2015    4.25 to 1.00 March 31, 2016 –
December 31, 2016    4.00 to 1.00 March 31, 2017 – Thereafter    3.50 to 1.00

 

64

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

; provided, that no such prepayment offer shall be required under this
Section 2.05(b)(ii) with respect to the Prepayment Offer Trigger Events
described in Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A) or (B) above if and to the extent (x) the
Borrower, at its own election, provides a written notice to the Administrative
Agent on or prior to the date which is no later than three (3) Business Days
following receipt by or for the account of the Borrower or the applicable
Restricted Subsidiary of such Net Cash Proceeds of its intention to reinvest an
amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds, (y) no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing or shall result from such reinvestment, and (z) the Borrower or
such Restricted Subsidiary makes such reinvestment within 365 days after the
receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided further that the Borrower may extend
such 365 day period by up to an additional 180 days if during the initial 365
day period the Borrower enters into a valid and binding contractual commitment
to reinvest an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds within such additional 180
day period; and provided further that if no such reinvestment is consummated
within the period set forth in clause (z), a written offer to prepay the Term
Loans as aforesaid shall be made prior to or at the end of such period and the
date of such offer shall be the Offer Date in respect of such Prepayment Offer
Trigger Event; and

(2) in the case of a Prepayment Offer Trigger Event described in
Section 2.05(b)(ii)(C) above, to the extent necessary for the Borrower to be in
compliance on a Pro Forma Basis with the Financial Covenant.

Each Term Loan Lender may reject all or a portion of its pro rata share of the
prepayment amount offered (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) by
providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. one Business Day after the date
of such Term Loan Lender’s receipt of such prepayment offer, and such Rejection
Notice shall specify the principal amount being rejected. If a Term Loan Lender
fails to deliver a Rejection Notice within the time period specified in the
preceding sentence or to specify in a Rejection Notice the amount being
rejected, such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such
Term Loan Lender’s pro rata share of the amount offered. Any Declined Proceeds
shall first be ratably offered to each Term Loan Lender that initially accepted
such offer under a process substantially similar to the process described above
for the initial offer, and thereafter, any remaining Declined Proceeds shall be
retained by the Borrower. All amounts required to be prepaid under this
Section 2.05(b)(ii) shall be prepaid within five Business Days of the Offer Date
(as such date may be extended upon the delivery of a reinvestment notice to the
extent permitted by Section 2.05(b)(ii)).

 

65

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

(iii) If any Indebtedness permitted by Section 7.03(p) or (q) is secured by all
or any portion of the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Obligations, and
any such Indebtedness requires that a prepayment be made in respect of, or an
offer be made to prepay or redeem, such Indebtedness under the circumstances
contemplated by this Section 2.05(b), then any prepayment of the Term Loans
required by this Section 2.05(b) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the
lesser of (x) the pro rata share of such Net Cash Proceeds allocable to such
other Indebtedness (taking into account the aggregate principal amount of such
other Indebtedness and the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans) and
(y) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds required to be applied to the
prepayment or redemption of such other Indebtedness in accordance with the terms
thereof.

(iv) Except as otherwise provided in an Incremental Amendment or any amendment
effectuating Refinancing Debt pursuant to Section 10.01 (which may provide for
Incremental Term Loans or loans made pursuant to a Refinancing Term Facility to
receive less than, but not more than, their ratable share), each prepayment of
Term Loans (or, as applicable, prepayment offer in respect thereof) pursuant to
this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied ratably to each Class of Term Loans then
outstanding (provided that any prepayment of Term Loans with the net proceeds of
any Refinancing Debt shall be applied to the applicable Class of Term Loans
being refinanced or replaced). With respect to each Class of Term Loans, all
accepted prepayments under this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied against the
remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of such Term Loans
as directed by the Borrower (or, in the absence of direction from the Borrower,
to the remaining scheduled amortization payments in respect of the Term Loans in
direct order of maturity), and each such prepayment shall be paid to the
applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective pro rata share and
applied on a pro rata basis to the Term Loans being prepaid irrespective of
whether such outstanding Term Loans are Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate
Loans; provided that the amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be applied
first to Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before
application to Term Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans in a manner that
minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 3.05. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein,
all payments pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be accompanied by accrued
interest.

(c) Mandatory Prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans. If for any reason the
aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Revolving Credit Lenders at any time
exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, the Borrower
shall immediately prepay Revolving Credit Loans, prepay 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 2.05(c) unless after
the prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans the
aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Revolving Credit Lenders exceeds the
Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.

 

66

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

(d) Call Premium. With any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.05, the
Borrower shall remain liable for any applicable breakage costs otherwise
required to be paid under Section 3.05. In addition, if on or prior to the
six-month anniversary of the Closing Date a Repricing Transaction occurs, the
Borrower will pay a premium (the “Call Premium”) in an amount equal to 1.0% of
the principal amount of the Term Loans that are subject to such Repricing
Transaction.

Section 2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower may, upon
notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments,
or from time to time permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments;
provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent
not later than 12:00 noon five (5) Business Days prior to the date of
termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an
aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof, and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving
Credit Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent
prepayments hereunder, the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the
Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments. The Administrative Agent will promptly
notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of any such notice of termination or
reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate
Revolving Credit Commitments shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Commitment
of each Revolving Credit Lender according to its Pro Rata Share. All fees
accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Revolving
Credit Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower may rescind any
notice of termination of Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.06
not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day before such termination was
scheduled to take place if such termination would have resulted from a
refinancing of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, which refinancing
shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed. Notwithstanding anything
else to the contrary contained herein, the Term Loan Commitments in effect on
the Closing Date shall automatically terminate at the earlier to occur of (a)
5:00 p.m. on the Closing Date and (b) the making of the Term Loans pursuant to
Section 2.01(b).

Section 2.07 Repayment of Loans.

(a) The Borrower shall repay to the Revolving Credit Lenders on the Revolving
Loan Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of 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 Revolving
Loan Maturity Date.

(c) Except to the extent modified pursuant to an Extension pursuant to
Section 2.15, the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of the applicable Term Loan Lenders, on the dates set forth on Annex I
(including the Term Loan Maturity Date), or if any such date is not a Business
Day, on the immediately

 

67

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

preceding Business Day (each such date, a “Term Loan Repayment Date”), a
principal amount of the Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.01(b) on the
Closing Date equal to the amount set forth on Annex I for such date (as adjusted
from time to time pursuant to Section 2.05), together in each case with accrued
and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date
of such payment. To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans made pursuant
to Section 2.01(b) shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

(d) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
applicable Incremental Term Loan Lenders on the dates set forth in the
applicable Incremental Amendment, or if any such date is not a Business Day, on
the immediately preceding Business Day, a principal amount of Incremental Term
Loans as set forth in the applicable Incremental Amendment. To the extent not
previously paid, all Incremental Term Loans shall be due and payable on the
applicable Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date. The Borrower shall repay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders on the dates set
forth in the applicable amendment providing for any Extension of Term Loans, or
if any such date is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business
Day, a principal amount of Extended Term Loans as set forth in such amendment.
To the extent not previously paid, all Extended Term Loans shall be due and
payable on the applicable Maturity Date. The Borrower shall repay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders on the dates set
forth in the applicable amendment providing for any Refinancing Term Facility,
or if any such date is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business
Day, a principal amount of term loans under such Refinancing Term Facility as
set forth in such amendment. To the extent not previously paid, all term loans
under such Refinancing Term Facility shall be due and payable on the applicable
Maturity Date.

Section 2.08 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate
Loan of any Class 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 with respect to
Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Class; (ii) each Base Rate Loan of any Class 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 with respect to Base Rate Loans of such Class; and (iii) each Swing Line
Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the
applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the
Applicable Rate with respect to Base Rate Loans of such Class.

(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 bear interest at a
fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 

68

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

(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 request of the Required Lenders, such amount shall
thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times
equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

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

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified
herein. 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.

Section 2.09 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in Section 2.03(i) and
(j):

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Revolving Credit Lender, a non-refundable commitment fee equal
to the Applicable Rate with respect to Commitment Fees times the actual daily
amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender exceeds the
Outstanding Amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans and such Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations (but excluding, for the
avoidance of doubt, the Swing Line Loans (unless such Revolving Credit Lender
has refinanced such Swing Line Loan with a Base Rate Loan in accordance with
Section 2.04(c)(i) or funded a participation with regards to such Swing Line
Loan in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(ii))); provided, however that no
commitment fee shall accrue with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of
an Impacted Lender during any period that it is an Impacted Lender until such
time as such failure has been cured (as determined in accordance with
Section 2.03(a)(ix)). The commitment fees shall accrue at all times during the
Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the
conditions in Article IV are not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in
arrears on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, commencing with
the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the
Availability Period. The commitment fees 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.

(b) Other Fees. (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its
own account (or for the account of the Persons entitled to payment thereof in
accordance therewith) fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee
Letters. 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.

 

69

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

Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any
reason whatsoever.

Section 2.10 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 the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may
be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall
be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in
more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis
of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the
Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the
day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is
repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a),
bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an
interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error.

Section 2.11 Evidence of Debt.

(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 in accordance with its usual practice. 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 Loan Obligations. In the event of any conflict between
the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the Register and the
corresponding accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of
such matters, the Register and the corresponding 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 record thereon the
date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with
respect thereto.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each
Revolving Credit 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 Register and the corresponding
accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and
records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the Register and the
corresponding accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in
the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without
condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower
hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s
Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on
the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to
each Lender its share 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 2:00 p.m. shall, at the election of the Administrative Agent, be
deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest
or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by 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; except that this sentence shall
not apply to the applicable Maturity Date.

(b) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.

(i) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender
prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the
case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of
such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative
Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume
that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with
Section 2.01 or Section 2.02, as applicable and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such
event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing
available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the
Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand
such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon,
for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the
Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at
(A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the
Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any
administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a
payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate otherwise applicable to
such applicable Borrowing. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such
interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such
interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of
the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid
shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by
the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have
against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the
Administrative Agent.

 

71

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

(ii) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders or any L/C Issuer hereunder that the
Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that
the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may,
in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such L/C Issuer,
as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in
fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or such L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, in
immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate
and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation.

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

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to
the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as
provided in 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 promptly (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender,
without interest.

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to
make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and
to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The
failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to
make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not
relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date,
and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so
make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under
Section 10.04(c); provided, that the foregoing shall not preclude the
reallocation of the Commitments of Impacted Lenders in accordance with
Section 2.03(a)(viii).

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

(f) Insufficient Funds. 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

 

72

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

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.

Section 2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising
any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of
any principal of or interest on any of the Loans of any Class made by it, or the
participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it, resulting
in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of
such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro
rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and
(b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of such
Class and (if applicable) subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line
Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be
equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class and other amounts owing
them, provided that:

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

(b) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (i) any
payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express
terms of this Agreement or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant.

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under applicable law, and to the extent that an Event of
Default has occurred and is then in effect, that any Lender acquiring a
participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such
Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the
amount of such participation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Sections 2.13
and the other pro rata payment provisions hereunder shall be subject to the
express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing
payments to be made to non-Impacted Lenders as opposed to Impacted Lenders.

Section 2.14 Increase in Commitments.

(a) Incremental Credit Extensions. The Borrower may at any time or from time to
time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon
the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders),
request (a) one or more additions of incremental term loans, in each case which
may constitute a

 

73

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

separate tranche of term loans or, if the same as any existing tranche of term
loans, constitute part of such existing tranche (the “Incremental Term Loans”),
or (b) one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments
(each such increase, a “Revolving Commitment Increase,” and together with any
Incremental Term Loans, a “Credit Increase”), provided that (i) at the time that
any Revolving Commitment Increase is effective (and after giving effect
thereto), no Default or Event of Default shall exist, (ii) at the time that any
Incremental Term Loan is made (and after giving effect thereto) no Default or
Event of Default shall exist (except that, if the proceeds of such Incremental
Term Loan are to be used to finance an Acquisition by the Borrower or any other
Loan Party permitted under this Agreement, no Event of Default under
Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) shall exist), (iii) on the date of the effectiveness
of any Revolving Commitment Increase and on the date of the making of any
Incremental Term Loans, the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties
set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct; provided that, if the
proceeds of such Incremental Term Loan are used to finance an Acquisition by the
Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary permitted by this Agreement, (A) only the
Specified Representations shall be required to be true and correct under this
clause (iii) on such date and (B) neither the Borrower nor any Affiliate of the
Borrower shall have the right to terminate its obligations under the acquisition
agreement related to such Acquisition or to otherwise decline to consummate such
Acquisition, in each case as a result of the breach of the representations made
in such agreement by or with respect to the subject of such Acquisition that are
material to the interests of the Lenders and (iv) the Borrower and the other
Loan Parties shall deliver such legal opinions, instruments and other documents
related to such Credit Increase as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably
request. Each Credit Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is
not less than $5,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $5,000,000
if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limits set forth
in the next two sentences). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
aggregate amount of Revolving Commitment Increases shall not exceed
$200 million. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate
amount of Incremental Term Loans shall not exceed (x) the sum of (a)
$200 million plus (b) the amount of all voluntary prepayments applied to the
principal amount of the Term Loans (the “Term Loan Free and Clear Basket”);
provided that the Term Loan Free and Clear Basket shall be reduced by the
aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Equivalent Notes issued in
reliance on clause (a)(x) to the proviso in the definition thereof; plus (y) an
unlimited amount so long as on the date of incurrence thereof, the Borrower is
in compliance on a Pro Forma Basis as of the last day of the most recent fiscal
quarter for which a Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to
Section 6.02(a) with a Consolidated Leverage Ratio of no greater than 4.00:1.00.

(b) (i) The Incremental Term Loans (x) shall rank pari passu in right of payment
and of security with the Revolving Credit Loans and other Incremental Term Loans
(if any) and (y) shall not mature earlier than the then-effective Latest
Maturity Date and shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is
shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loan Facility
immediately prior to such Credit Increase, (ii) the interest rates and call
premium (if any) applicable to any Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by
the Borrower and the

 

74

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

applicable Incremental Term Loan Lenders; provided that if the initial yield for
any Incremental Term Loans is more than 0.50% per annum greater than the
applicable interest rate (including any floors, any original issue discount and
any upfront fees) under the Term Loan Facility in effect immediately prior to
such Credit Increase, the Applicable Margin under the Term Loan Facility shall
be increased to the extent necessary so that the applicable interest rate
(including any floors, any original issue discount and any upfront fees) under
the Term Loan Facility is equal to the initial yield for such Incremental Term
Loans minus 0.50% per annum, and and (iii) except as provided in clauses (i)(y)
and (ii) above or as may be approved by the Administrative Agent in its
reasonable discretion, the terms and conditions applicablethat apply to
Incremental Term Loans shall be consistent in all material respects with the
terms and conditions applicableset forth in this Agreement as of the First
Amendment Effective Date that relate to the Term Loan Facility (as such terms
and conditions shall be in effect immediatelyhereunder that was repaid in full
prior to such Credit Increase)the First Amendment Effective Date. Each notice
from the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested amount
and proposed terms of the relevant Credit Increases. All terms and interest
rates applicable to any Revolving Commitment Increase shall be identical to
those applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility immediately prior to such
Credit Increase, except that the interest rates applicable to the Revolving
Credit Facility may be increased without the consent of any Lender to match
those applicable to any Revolving Commitment Increase. Incremental Term Loans
may be made, and Revolving Commitment Increases may be provided, by any existing
Lender or by any other bank or other financial institution that would constitute
an Eligible Assignee if such Loans or Commitments were being purchased by
assignment (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an
“Additional Lender”), provided that the Administrative Agent and, in the case of
a Revolving Commitment Increase, each L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall
have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Additional
Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Revolving
Commitment Increases, as applicable, if such consent would be required under
Section 10.06(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments to such Lender or
Additional Lender. Commitments in respect of Credit Increases shall become
effective pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this
Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the
Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Credit Increases, if any, each
Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent, and, in the case of an
Incremental Amendment in respect of a Revolving Commitment Increase, the L/C
Issuers and the Swing Line Lender. The Incremental Amendment may, without the
consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable
opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to effect the provisions of
this Section. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to
the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing
Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.14 and such other
conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. The Borrower will use the
proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases and
Letters of Credit issued pursuant to the Revolving Commitment Increases for any
purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. No

 

75

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

Lender shall be obligated to provide any Credit Increases, unless it so agrees
in writing. Upon each increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to
this Section, (i) each Revolving Credit Lender immediately prior to such
increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned
to each Lender providing a portion of the Revolving Commitment Increase (each a
“Revolving Commitment Increase Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each
such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further
act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Credit Lender’s
participations hereunder in outstanding Revolving Letters of Credit and Swing
Line Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and
assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding
(A) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (B) participations
hereunder in Swing Line Loans held by each Revolving Credit Lender (including
each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) will equal the percentage of the
aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of all Revolving Credit Lenders
represented by such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and
(ii) if, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Credit Loans
outstanding, such Revolving Credit Loans shall upon the effectiveness of such
Revolving Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional
Revolving Credit Loans made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Revolving
Credit Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest
on the Revolving Credit Loans being prepaid. To the extent the foregoing actions
result in any costs incurred by any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to
Section 3.05, such costs shall be paid by the Borrower in accordance with the
terms thereof. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the
minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements
contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions
effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(c) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in
Section 2.13 or Section 10.01 to the contrary.

Section 2.15 Extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Commitments.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one
or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the
Borrower to all Lenders of Term Loans with a like Maturity Date or with
Revolving Credit Commitments with a like Maturity Date, in each case on a pro
rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
respective Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments with a like Maturity Date,
as the case may be) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is
hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual
Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the
Maturity Date of each such Lender’s Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit
Commitments, as applicable (provided that each Lender’s decision to accept such
Extension Offer shall be in such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, and, for
the avoidance of doubt, the Loans of Lenders that decline such Extension Offer
shall be payable in full on the applicable existing Maturity Date in accordance
with Section 2.07), and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans and/or

 

76

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

Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of the
relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the
interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or Revolving
Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization
schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans) (each, an “Extension,” and each
group of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, in each case
as so extended, as well as the original Term Loans and the original Revolving
Credit Commitments (in each case not so extended), being a “tranche”; any
Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of Term Loans from the
tranche of Term Loans from which they were converted, and any Extended Revolving
Credit Commitment shall constitute a separate tranche of Revolving Credit
Commitments from the tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments from which they
were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied:

(i) no Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) shall have
occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an
Extension Offer is delivered to the applicable Lenders;

(ii) except as to interest rates, fees, optional prepayment terms, and final
maturity (which shall be determined by Borrower and the relevant Extending
Lenders and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Revolving Credit
Commitment of any Extending Lender (an “Extending Revolving Lender”) extended
pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Credit Commitment”), and the
related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Credit Commitment (or related
outstandings, as the case may be) with such other terms the same as the original
Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings); provided that (1) the
borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at
different rates on Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related
outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the
non-extending Revolving Credit Commitments and (C) repayment made in connection
with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Loans with respect
to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments after the applicable Extension date
shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments,
(2) to the extent dealing with Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a
Maturity Date when there exist Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or a
Refinancing Revolving Facility with a longer Maturity Date, all Letters of
Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving
Credit Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Revolving Credit
Commitments, (3) the permanent repayment of Revolving Credit Loans with respect
to, and termination of, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments after the
applicable Extension date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other
Revolving Credit Commitments, except that the Borrower shall be permitted to
permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such Class on a better than a
pro rata basis as compared to any other Class with a later Maturity Date than
such Class, (4) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Credit
Commitments and extended Revolving Credit Loans shall be governed by the same
assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Credit

 

77

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

Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans and (5) at no time shall there be
Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Credit
Commitments and any original Revolving Credit Commitments) which have more than
three different Maturity Dates (or such greater number of Maturity Dates as the
Administrative Agent shall agree in its reasonable discretion);

(iii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date,
optional prepayments, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in
prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iv), (v)
and (vi), be determined by Borrower and the Extending Term Lenders and set forth
in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Term Loan Lender that
agrees to an Extension with respect to such Term Loans (an “Extending Term
Lender” and, together with any Extending Revolving Lender, each an “Extending
Lender” and, collectively, the “Extending Lenders”) extended pursuant to any
Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall be the same as those applicable to the
Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer (except for covenants or other
provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date applicable
to Term Loans prior to such Extension);

(iv) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than
the Latest Maturity Date applicable to Term Loans immediately prior to such
extension hereunder;

(v) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no
shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans
extended thereby;

(vi) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than
pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory
repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective
Extension Offer (it being understood that any voluntary prepayments shall not be
required to be made on a pro rata basis);

(vii) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face
amount thereof) or Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, in respect
of which Term Loan Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be,
shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum
aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as the
case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension
Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of such Term
Loan Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall be extended ratably
up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to
exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Term Loan Lenders
or Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, have accepted such Extension
Offer;

 

78

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

(viii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with
the foregoing;

(ix) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived
by Borrower; and

(x) at no time shall there be Term Loans (including Extended Term Loans,
Refinancing Term Loans and Term Loans made on the Closing Date) which have more
than four different Maturity Dates (or such greater number of Maturity Dates as
the Administrative Agent shall agree in its reasonable discretion).

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.15, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory
payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.05 and (ii) no Extension Offer
is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that
Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension
Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be
determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in Borrower’s sole
discretion, and which condition may be waived by Borrower) of Loans or
Commitments of any or all applicable tranches be tendered. The Administrative
Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Extensions and the other
transactions contemplated by this Section 2.15 (including, for the avoidance of
doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Loans
on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby
waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (other than this
Section 2.15) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such
Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.15.

(c) No consent of any Lender shall be required to effectuate any Extensions,
other than (A) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with
respect to one or more of its Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments (or
a portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of the Revolving Credit
Commitments, the consent of the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender. All
Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and all obligations
in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all
other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary set forth herein or in any other
Loan Document, the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent
and Collateral Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents with the Borrower and the other Loan Parties as may be necessary
or appropriate in order to establish new tranches in respect of Revolving Credit
Commitments or Term Loans so extended, in each case on terms consistent with
this Section 2.15 (each, an “Extension Amendment”). All such Extension
Amendments entered into with Borrower and any other Loan Parties by the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be binding and
conclusive on the Lenders. In addition, if so provided in any such Extension
Amendment and with the consent of each L/C Issuer, participations in Letters of
Credit expiring on or after the Latest Maturity

 

79

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

Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be re-allocated from
Revolving Credit Lenders holding Revolving Credit Commitments to Revolving
Credit Lenders holding Extended Revolving Loan Commitments in accordance with
the terms of such Extension Amendment; provided, however, that such
participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Revolving
Credit Lenders holding Revolving Credit Commitments, be deemed to be
participation interests in respect of such Revolving Credit Commitments and the
terms of such participation interests (including, without limitation, the
commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly. Without limiting
the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions, the Loan Parties shall (at
their expense) amend (and the Collateral Agent is hereby directed to amend) any
mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the Latest Maturity Date immediately
prior to an extension hereunder so that such maturity date is extended to the
Latest Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to
the Collateral Agent) and make any filings or provide any documents or items
(including with respect to title insurance) reasonably requested by the
Collateral Agent.

(d) In connection with any Extension, Borrower shall provide the Administrative
Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed
by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to
such procedures (including, without limitation, regarding timing, cut-back,
rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative
management of the Facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be
established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting
reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.15.

Section 2.16 Impacted Lender Waterfall.

Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of an Impacted Lender (whether voluntary or
mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) shall be applied
at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as
follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Impacted Lender to
the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis
of any amounts owing by such Impacted Lender to any L/C Issuer or Swing Line
Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize such Impacted Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of the L/C Obligations in accordance with Section 2.03(a)(viii); fourth,
as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists),
to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Impacted Lender has failed
to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the
Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to
(x) satisfy such Impacted Lender’s potential future funding obligations with
respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize such Impacted
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations with respect to future Letters of
Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.03(a)(viii);
sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or
Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender against
such Impacted Lender as a result of such Impacted Lender’s breach of its
obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long

 

80

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

as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to
the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
obtained by the Borrower against such Impacted Lender as a result of such
Impacted Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to
such Impacted Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent
jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal
amount of any Loans or L/C Obligations in respect of which such Impacted Lender
has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the
related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to
pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all applicable non-Impacted
Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans
of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Impacted Lender until such time as all
applicable Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and
Swing Line Loans are held by the applicable Lenders pro rata in accordance with
the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to
Section 2.03(a)(viii). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or
payable to an Impacted Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by
an Impacted Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16
shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Impacted Lender, and each Lender
irrevocably consents hereto.

ARTICLE III.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 3.01 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Unless required by applicable Law, any and all
payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under
any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or
withholding for any Taxes, provided that if the applicable Withholding Agent
shall be required by applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion
of an applicable Withholding Agent) to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then
(i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan
Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions
(including deductions of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section) have been made, the Administrative Agent, applicable Lender
or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the
applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable
Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

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

(c) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. Without duplication of the Loan
Parties’ obligations under clause (a) of Section 3.01, the Loan Parties shall
jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each
L/C Issuer, within 10

 

81

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

days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes
(including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
payable under this Section) payable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or
such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the
Borrower by a Lender or any 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 L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as reasonably practicable after any payment of
Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.01,
such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a
certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing
such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of
such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan
Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent as will permit such
payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In
addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender
is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the
completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such
documentation set forth in Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), Section 3.01(e)(ii)(C) and
Section 3.01(e)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s
reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such
Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially
prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

 

82

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

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

(2) duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI,

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 certifying 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 that no payments in connection
with the Loan Documents are effectively connected with such Foreign Lender’s
conduct of a U.S. trade or business and (y) duly completed and executed
originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner for United States
federal income tax purposes of any payment received by it under any Loan
Document (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or
participating Lender granting a typical participation), duly completed and
executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by duly completed and
executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, certificates
in substantially the form of Exhibit J-3 or J-4 (as applicable), IRS Form W-9,
and/or other required certification documents from each beneficial owner, as
applicable; provided that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a
participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such
Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign
Lender shall, in lieu of causing each beneficial owner to provide a certificate,
provide a certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit J-2 on behalf of
such beneficial owner(s);

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies
as shall be requested by the recipient), on or prior to the date on which such
Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement

 

83

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

(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by
applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S.
federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary
documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to
be made;

(C) each Domestic Lender as of the date of this Agreement and each person that
becomes a Domestic Lender after the date of this Agreement shall deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent duly completed and executed originals of
IRS Form W-9, certifying that such Domestic Lender is exempt from United States
backup withholding tax, on or before the date such Domestic Lender becomes a
party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon written request
by the Administrative Agent or Borrower); and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to
U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to
comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those
contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law
(including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such
additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such
Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine
the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this
clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of
this Agreement.

Each Lender shall, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender
of the forms described above, whenever a lapse in time or change in such
Lender’s circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence so
delivered obsolete or inaccurate, promptly (1) deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the
recipient) renewals, amendments or additional or successor forms, properly
completed and duly executed by such Lender, or (2) notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or
other evidence.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any
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 a
Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to
such refund (but only to the extent of

 

84

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

indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under
this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to
such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the
Administrative Agent, such Lender, or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and
without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the
request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or such L/C Issuer, agrees to
repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or
other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the
Administrative Agent, such Lender, or such L/C Issuer in the event the
Administrative Agent, such Lender, or such L/C Issuer is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this subsection (f), in no event will the Administrative Agent, any Lender or
any L/C Issuer be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant
to this subsection (f) the payment of which would place the Administrative
Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer in a less favorable net after-Tax position
than it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise
to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the
indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had
never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require the
Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any L/C Issuer to make available its Tax
returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems
confidential) to any Loan Party or any other person.

(g) Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower
two duly executed originals of (i) if it is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 or
(ii) if it is not a U.S. Person, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
an applicable IRS Form W-8, together with such other documentation as will
establish that the Borrower can make payments to the Administrative Agent in its
capacity as such without deduction or withholding of any Taxes imposed by the
United States, including Taxes imposed under FATCA.

(h) Terms. For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “Lender” includes any L/C
Issuer and the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

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

Section 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it
unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain, continue or
fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon
the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material
restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take
deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by
such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of
such Lender to make, maintain, continue or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans or to
convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such
Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the

 

85

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

Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer
exist. Upon receipt of such notice, 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, 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.
Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued
interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

Section 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.

(a) If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any
request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof
that (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 (c) 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, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate
Loans shall be suspended 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.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify
the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to
Borrower) that the Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined,
that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any
requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR
Screen Rate (as defined below) is not available or published on a current basis
and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority
having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement
identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no
longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans
(such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or

(iii) syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language
similar to that contained in this Section, are being executed or amended (as
applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace
LIBOR,

 

86

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

then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent
or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR
with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other
adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due
consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S.
dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks
(any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed
LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes (as defined below) and any such
amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth
Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed
amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders
comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent
written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.

If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under
clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as
applicable), 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 (to the extent of the affected
Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) the Eurodollar Rate
component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate. Upon receipt
of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans (to the extent of the
affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be
deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base
Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified
therein.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate
shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero
for purposes of this Agreement.

As used above:

“LIBOR Screen Rate” means the LIBOR quote on the applicable screen page the
Administrative Agent designates to determine LIBOR (or such other commercially
available source providing such quotations as may be designated by the
Administrative Agent from time to time).

“LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any proposed
LIBOR Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definition of Base Rate,
Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments
of interest and other administrative matters as may be appropriate, in the
discretion of the Administrative Agent, to reflect the adoption of such LIBOR

 

87

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

Successor Rate and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative
Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the
Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market
practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the
administration of such LIBOR Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of
administration as the Administrative Agent determines in consultation with the
Borrower).

Section 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 any L/C
Issuer;

(ii) subject any Lender or any L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter
of Credit or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to
such Lender or such L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 (for the avoidance of doubt, no
duplication of the Borrower’s obligation under Section 3.01 with respect to
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes is intended under this clause (ii)) and the
imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such
Lender or L/C Issuer); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or such 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 Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to
make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such 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 such
L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then,
upon request of such Lender or L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such Lender
or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional
costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines that any
Change in Law affecting such Lender or such L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of
such Lender or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding
capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on

 

88

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

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

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an L/C Issuer
setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such
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 L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C
Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s right to
demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to
compensate a Lender or a L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine
months prior to the date that such Lender or 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 L/C Issuer’s intention to claim
compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof).

(e) 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 ten (10) days’ prior notice (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender.
If a Lender fails to give notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant Interest
Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) days
from receipt of such notice.

 

89

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

Section 3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly
compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any calculated
loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a
Base Rate Loan 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 10.13;

including any calculated loss of anticipated profits and any calculated 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; provided that no Lender may use the Eurodollar Rate
floor in this agreement as a basis for such calculations.

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.

Section 3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

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

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, or if any Lender delivers to the Borrower a notice pursuant to
Section 3.02, 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, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with
Section 10.13.

 

90

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

Section 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 Loan Obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE IV.

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CREDIT EXTENSIONS

Section 4.01 Conditions of the Closing Date. The obligations of each L/C Issuer
and each Lender hereunder are subject to satisfaction on or prior to the Closing
Date of the following conditions precedent:

(a) the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the following, each of which shall be
originals, facsimiles or “.pdf” images (followed promptly by originals) unless
otherwise specified, each properly executed by a Responsible Officer of the
signing Loan Party, and each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent:

respective Affiliates or their securities and who may be engaged in investment

Borrower hereby agrees that so long as the Borrower is the issuer of any
outstanding debt or equity securities that are registered or issued pursuant to
a private offering or is actively contemplating issuing any such securities
(w) all the Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders
shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall
mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof;
(x) by marking the Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to
have authorized the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders to

Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state
securities laws; (y) all the Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to
be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public
Investor,” and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any of
the Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for

marked “PUBLIC”), unless the Borrower advises the Administrative Agent in
writing (including by email) within a reasonable

Material Adverse Effect, (ii) any breach or non-performance of or default under

any Subsidiary, and (v) the occurrence of any ERISA Event, in the case of
clauses (ii)-(v) above, that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

a Responsible Officer of the Borrower setting forth details of the occurrence
referred to therein and stating what action the Borrower has taken and proposes
to take with respect thereto.

Section 6.04 Payment of Obligations. Pay, discharge or otherwise satisfy as the
same shall become due and payable, all of its obligations and liabilities in
respect of Taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon
the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary or upon its or such Restricted
Subsidiary’s property, income or assets, except, in each case, to the extent
that (i) the failure to pay or discharge the same could not reasonably be
expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect or
(ii) such Taxes are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and
adequate reserves have been made by the Borrower or the applicable Restricted
Subsidiary in accordance with GAAP.

Section 6.05 Preservation of Existence, Etc. (a) Preserve, renew and maintain in

against by Persons engaged in the same or similar business, of such types and in
such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance reasonable and customary
for similarly situated Persons engaged in the same or similar businesses as the
Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries) as are customarily carried under
similar circumstances by such other Persons. If the Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries owns or acquires physical assets that are material to
the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, the Borrower
covenants and agrees that the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured
Parties, will be named as an additional insured or loss payee, as the case may
be, under all insurance policies of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries
and it will provide evidence of such insurance in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to the Collateral Agent. From and after delivery of any mortgages, if
any portion of any Building owned, leased or otherwise held by a Loan Party
located on any Material Fee Owned Property, Material Leases or Material
Pipelines that is subject to such mortgage is at any time situated in an area
identified as a special flood hazard area by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency or other applicable agency, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries
shall (i) maintain or cause to be maintained flood insurance in an amount no
less than the maximum amount of coverage available under the applicable Flood
Insurance Laws and (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such
compliance in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent.

contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or
(b) the failure to comply therewith could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of the
Borrower and such Subsidiary, as the case may be.

contractors of the Administrative Agent and each Lender to visit and inspect any
of its properties, to examine its corporate, financial and operating records,
and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom, and to discuss its affairs,
finances and accounts with its directors, officers, and independent public
accountants, and at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as
often as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to the
Borrower; provided, however, that, excluding any such visits and inspections
during the continuation of an Event of Default, only the

 

107

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

Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may exercise rights of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Section 6.10 and the
Administrative Agent shall not exercise such rights more often than one (1) time
during any calendar year absent the existence of an Event of Default and only
one (1) such time shall be at the Borrower’s expense absent the existence of an
Event of Default; provided, further, that when an Event of Default exists the

or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the
Borrower at any time during normal business hours and without advance notice.

Section 6.11 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of extensions of credit under this

Revolving Credit Commitments, for working capital and for general corporate
purposes not in contravention of any Law or of any Loan Document. In no event
shall the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit be used directly or
indirectly for purposes of acquiring or carrying any margin stock (within the
meaning of Regulation U of the FRB) in violation of Regulation U.

Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to vest in the Collateral Agent for
the benefit of the Secured Parties valid Liens on the assets of such Person

parties in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by Debtor Relief Laws and by general principles of equity; and

in its reasonable discretion) after any Loan Party directly acquires any Equity
Interests that are not Excluded Collateral: (A) cause all of such Equity

Pipeline or Material Lease (including the renewal of any Material Lease) by any
Loan Party (or in the event any Material Fee Owned Property, Material Pipeline
or Material Lease is owned by a Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary that
is not an Excluded Subsidiary), which Material Fee Owned Property, Material
Pipeline or Material Lease is not already subject to a Lien in favor of the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to secure the
Obligations, the Borrower shall not later than ninety (90) days (or such longer
period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) after
such acquisition (or the date such property or lease becomes a Material Fee
Owned Property, a Material Pipeline or a Material Lease or such Person becomes a
Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary), deliver to the
Collateral Agent counterparts to any mortgages or collateral assignments (as
applicable) that the Collateral Agent may require, title policies (other than

pledges of or security interests in, or the obtaining of title insurance with
respect to, particular assets if and for so long as, in the reasonable judgment
of the Administrative Agent (after consultation with the Borrower), the cost of
creating or perfecting such pledges or security interests in such assets or

obtained or delivered with respect to Material Leases or Material Pipelines and
no title insurance shall be provided in respect of any Material Pipelines;

(iii) the Borrower shall not be required to take any action with respect to the
creation or perfection of security interests in any Material Lease other than to
use its commercially reasonable efforts (subject to the immediately preceding

perfect such security interests, such efforts not to extend beyond the date such
security interests would otherwise be deliverable; and

(iv) the Administrative Agent may grant extensions of time for the perfection of
security interests in or the obtaining of title insurance with respect to
particular assets where it reasonably determines, in consultation with the
Borrower, that perfection cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense

or the Security Documents. and

(v) to the extent that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is required to
grant a mortgage on or after the First Amendment Effective Date on any real

compliance with Flood Insurance Regulations. To the extent that any such
Additional Improved Real Property is subject to the provisions of the Flood
Insurance Laws, upon the earlier of (i) twenty (20) Business Days from the date
the information required by the immediately preceding sentence is provided to
the Lenders and (ii) receipt by the Administrative Agent of a notice from each
Lender (which may be delivered electronically) that such Lender has completed

Real Property, the Administrative Agent may permit the execution and delivery of
the applicable mortgage in favor of the Collateral Agent.

may designate any Subsidiary (including (x) a newly formed or newly acquired
Subsidiary and (y) any Subsidiary that is formed after the Closing Date solely
for the purpose of acquiring MLP Units purchased or acquired after the Closing
Date (provided that, (1) such Subsidiary purchases or acquires such MLP Units
from any Person other than the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and (2) the
capital stock in such Subsidiary shall constitute Collateral)) as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary if (i) the representations and warranties of the Loan
Parties contained in each of the Loan Documents are true and correct in all
material respects on and as of such date as if made on and as of the date of
such designation (or, if stated to have been made expressly as of an earlier
date, were true and correct as of such date), (ii) after giving effect to such
designation, no Default or Event of Default would exist, (iii) immediately after
giving effect to such designation, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries
shall be in pro forma compliance with the Financial Covenant as of the last day
of the immediately preceding Test Period for which a Compliance Certificate has
been delivered (determined on a Pro Forma Basis giving effect to such

$25,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may not designate
(A) the MLP GP or (B) any holder of MLP GP Units as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.
The designation of any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall
constitute an Investment by the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries therein
at the date of designation in an amount equal to the net book value of their
aggregate investments therein at the time of such designation. In the event any
Person becomes a Subsidiary as a result of the Borrower or a Restricted
Subsidiary making a further Investment (an “Investment Increase”) in a Person in
which the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary had previously made or had an
Investment and such Person was not then a Subsidiary, the Borrower or such
Restricted Subsidiary may designate such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary without any change or adjustment in the amount of any Investment
under Section 7.02 other than giving effect to the amount of such Investment
Increase.

(c) The Borrower may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted
Subsidiary if after giving effect to such designation, (i) the representations
and warranties of the Loan Parties contained in each of the Loan Documents are
true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date as if made on
and as of the date of such designation (or, if stated to have been made
expressly as of an earlier date, were true and correct as of such date), (ii)
after giving effect to such designation, no Default or Event of Default would
exist and (iii) immediately after giving effect to such designation, the
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be in pro forma compliance with
the Financial Covenant as of the last day of the immediately preceding Test
Period for which a Compliance Certificate has been delivered (determined on a
Pro Forma Basis giving effect to such designation). The designation of any
Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute the
incurrence at the time of designation of any Indebtedness or Liens of such
Subsidiary existing at such time.

Laws.

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

with respect to the applicable fiscal quarter hereunder, the Borrower may sell
or issue Qualified Equity Interests of the Borrower and apply the amount of the
net cash proceeds (the “Cure Amount”) thereof to increase Consolidated EBITDA

required to be delivered with respect to such fiscal quarter hereunder and
(ii) the amount of such proceeds deemed to be the Cure Amount does not exceed

referred to in the immediately preceding sentence and, as applicable,
Consolidated Funded Indebtedness in accordance with Section 8.05(b) below.

Consolidated Funded Indebtedness, but following such fiscal quarter Consolidated
Funded Indebtedness may be reduced for purposes of determining compliance with
the Financial Covenant if the Cure Amount was actually applied to prepay Loans
pursuant to Section 2.05.

(c) There can be no more than five (5) fiscal quarters in the aggregate in which
the cure rights set forth in this Section 8.05 can be exercised during the term
of this Agreement.

(a) Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers 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. Except as expressly provided
herein, the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agents,
the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan
Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any
other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to any Agent is
not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations
arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used
as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an
administrative relationship between contracting parties.

 

132

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

(b) Each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender, Swing Line Lender (if
applicable), L/C Issuer (if applicable) and a potential Swap Counterparty or
Cash Management Counterparty) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the
Collateral Agent to act as the agent of (and to hold any security interest
created by the Security Documents for and on behalf of or in trust for) such
Lender 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 Collateral Agent (and any co-agents, subagents and
attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent
pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the
Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security 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 (including, Section 9.11, as though such co-agents, sub-agents
and attorneys-in-fact were the Collateral Agent) as if set forth in full herein
with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Collateral Agent to execute any and all
documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of
the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents and acknowledge
and agree that any such action by the Collateral Agent shall bind the Lenders.

(c) By accepting the benefits of the Security Documents, each Swap Counterparty
and each Cash Management Counterparty shall be deemed to have appointed the
Collateral Agent as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a
Secured Party.

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

Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or
obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agents:

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

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such 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 no Agent shall be required to take any
action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent
to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law,
including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the
automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture,
modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of
any Debtor Relief Law; and

(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 Agent or any of its
Affiliates in any capacity.

No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the
consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such 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. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default
unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to such
Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an L/C Issuer.

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

Section 9.04 Reliance by Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and
shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request,
certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing
(including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other
distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or
otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any
statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made
by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In
determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or
the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of

 

134

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

Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or a
L/C Issuer, such Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such
Lender or such L/C Issuer unless such Agent shall have received notice to the
contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or
the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel
(who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts
selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 9.05 Delegation of Duties. Each of the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral 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 or the Collateral Agent,
respectively. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral 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 the Collateral 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
of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent. The Agents shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the
extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and
non-appealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful
misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Section 9.06 Resignation of Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders,
the L/C Issuers 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 and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then such retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may on
behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided
that if the Administrative Agent or Collateral 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 or Collateral Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Loan
Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall continue
to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and
determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuers
directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent as provided for above in this Section.
Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or
Collateral 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 or

 

135

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

Collateral Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts
owed to the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable),
and the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral 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
or Collateral 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 or Collateral 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 or
Collateral 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 or Collateral Agent was acting as the Administrative Agent.

(b) Any resignation by Bank of America as the Administrative Agent pursuant

to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing
Line Lender. If Bank of America resigns as an 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 applicable 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 applicable Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or
fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to
Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment by the Borrower of a successor L/C Issuer
or Swing Line Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender
other than a Defaulting Lender) and the acceptance by such successor of such
appointment, (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 applicable, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender
shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents if not previously so discharged, 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 arrangements 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.

Section 9.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each L/C
Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any
Agent, any Agent-Related Person 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 each L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any Agent-Related Person 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.

 

136

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

Section 9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, none of the agents, arrangers or Joint Book Runners listed on
the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties, liabilities or
responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except
in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent, a Lender or a L/C Issuer hereunder.

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

(a) 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
Issuers, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (including any claim
for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Lenders, the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and
their respective agents and external counsel and all other amounts due the
Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(i) and
(j), Section 2.09 and Section 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 each L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative
Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the
making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, 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 external counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under
Sections 2.09 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 any L/C
Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to
authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender
or any L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at
the direction of the Required Lenders to credit bid all or any portion of the
Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction
of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more
acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale
thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United
States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the
United States, or any similar

 

137

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

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

Section 9.10 Collateral and Guarantee Matters. (a) The Lenders, the L/C Issuers,
the Swap Counterparties and the Cash Management Counterparties irrevocably
authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral
Agent under any Loan Document (w) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments
and payment in full of all Loan Obligations (other than contingent obligations
with respect to which no claim has been asserted) and any Secured Swap
Obligations and Cash Management Obligations that are then due and payable to the
extent the Administrative Agent has received written notice that such Secured
Swap Obligations and Cash Management Obligations are then due and payable and
the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (or other arrangements
having been entered into satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer to eliminate
such L/C Issuer’s credit exposure with respect thereto), (x) that is sold or to
be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder to a

 

138

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

Person other than Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, (y) subject to
Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required
Lenders or (z) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor,
upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee
Agreement pursuant to clause (iii) below;

(ii) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such
property that is permitted by Section 7.01(e), (f), (i), (m)(i) and (n); and

(iii) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee
Agreement if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a
transaction permitted hereunder.

Upon request by the Collateral 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 Guarantee Agreement pursuant to
this Section 9.10. In each case as specified in this Section 9.10, the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably
authorizes such Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, and without recourse or
warranty to any Loan Party, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party
such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release
or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security
interest granted under the Security Documents, or to evidence the release of
such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement, in each case
in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10.

(b) After the Closing Date, to the extent requested by the Borrower in writing,
the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall take such
actions as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower to enable the Borrower to
exchange its certificated limited partner units in TRP for limited partner units
in TRP in book entry form or to otherwise exchange its certificated Equity
Interests in its direct or indirect Subsidiaries for Equity Interests in book
entry form; provided that, after giving effect thereto, the Collateral Agent
retains a perfected first-priority Lien in such units and Equity Interests
(subject to Permitted Prior Liens) and has “control” of any such units or Equity
Interests constituting a security as provided in Section 8-106 of the New York
UCC, and the pledgor thereof and the applicable issuer shall execute an
uncertificated securities control agreement reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent that complies with the provisions of Section 8-106(d) of the
New York UCC.

Section 9.11 Indemnification of Agents, each L/C Issuer and the Swing Line
Lender. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the
Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent and Agent-Related Person, L/C
Issuer and Swing Line Lender and any Related Party of any of the foregoing (to
the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting
the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), in accordance with their respective
“ratable shares” (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed
expense or indemnity payment is sought or, if reimbursement or indemnification
is sought after the date upon which all Commitments shall have terminated and
the Loans and L/C

 

139

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

Obligations shall have been paid in full, in accordance with their respective
“ratable shares” of such outstanding Loans, L/C Obligations and Commitments as
in effect immediately prior to such date), and hold harmless each Agent and
Agent-Related Person, each L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender and the Related
Parties of the foregoing from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements
of any external counsel for any Agent) incurred by it; provided that no Lender
shall be liable for the payment to any Agent or Agent-Related Person, L/C
Issuer, Swing Line Lender or Related Party of any portion of such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses resulting from such Agent’s or
Agent-Related Person’s, L/C Issuer’s, Swing Line Lender’s or Related Party’s own
gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken in accordance
with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage
of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to
constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this
Section 9.11. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving
rise to any loss, claim, damage, liability and related expense this Section 9.11
applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by
any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender
shall reimburse the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, each L/C Issuer and
the Swing Line Lender upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or
out-of-pocket expenses (including attorney costs) incurred by such Person in
connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal
proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document
contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent, L/C Issuer
or Swing Line Lender is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the
Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 9.11 shall survive termination of this
Agreement, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment,
satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations, and the resignation of any
such Person. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “ratable share” shall be determined
based upon its share of the sum of the total Loans outstanding, L/C Obligations
and unused Commitments at the time of determination (or, if indemnification or
reimbursement is sought after the date upon which all Commitments shall have
terminated and the Loans and L/C Obligations shall have been paid in full, in
accordance with their respective “ratable shares” of such outstanding Loans, L/C
Obligations and Commitments as in effect immediately prior to such date).

Section 9.12 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law,
the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender or L/C
Issuer an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. Without limiting
or expanding the provisions of Section 3.01, each Lender and each L/C Issuer
shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent against, and shall
make payable in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, any and
all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses
(including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative
Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or
any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the
Administrative Agent to properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the
account of any Lender or any L/C Issuer for any reason (including, without
limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly
executed, or because such Lender or such L/C Issuer failed to notify the
Administrative Agent of a change in

 

140

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

circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax
ineffective); provided that no Lender or L/C Issuer shall be liable for the
payment to the Administrative Agent of any Taxes and any related losses, claims,
liabilities and expenses resulting from the Administrative Agent’s own gross
negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to any Lender or L/C Issuer by the Administrative Agent
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and each 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 L/C Issuer under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under
this Section 9.12. The agreements in this Section 9.12 shall survive the
resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of
rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or L/C Issuer, the termination of the
Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of any of the
Obligations.

Section 9.13 Secured Swap Obligations and Cash Management Obligations. No Cash
Management Counterparty or Swap Counterparty that obtains the benefits of
Section 8.04, any Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof
or of any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to
consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan
Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or
impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in
such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, the
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Agent shall not be required
to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made
with respect to, Secured Swap Obligations or any Cash Management Obligations
unless the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent have received written
notice of such Secured Swap Obligations or Cash Management Obligations, together
with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral
Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Counterparties or the
applicable Swap Counterparties, as the case may be.

Section 9.14 Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender (and each Person that becomes
a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 10.06) and each Agent on behalf of itself
and its Affiliates (in each case, including in its capacities as a Cash
Management Counterparty and/or a Swap Counterparty) hereby (a) authorizes and
directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Second Lien Intercreditor
Agreement and/or the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement as and when contemplated
hereby in connection with the incurrence of Indebtedness and Liens required to
be subject thereto on behalf of such Person and agrees that the Administrative
Agent may take such actions on its behalf as is contemplated by the terms of the
Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, as
applicable, and (b) authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into any
amendments to the Loan Documents or Security Documents that are necessary in
order to reference the applicable Intercreditor Agreement in such Loan Documents
or Security Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to be bound by the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreements. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees
that it will enter into the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or the Pari
Passu Intercreditor Agreement in connection with the incurrence of Indebtedness
and Liens required to be subject thereto.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.01 Amendments, Etc. No Subject to Section 3.03(b), 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 signed by the Required Lenders and the
Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by
the Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given;
provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(a) waive any condition set forth in Section 4.01 without the written consent of
each Lender;

(b) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent
of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set
forth in Section 4.02 or the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or
mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension or
increase of any Commitment of any Lender);

(c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any
Loan or L/C Borrowing, or (subject to clause (iv) of the second proviso to this
Section 10.01) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other
Loan Document, or postpone any date scheduled for the payment thereof, without
the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, however,
that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary (i) to amend
the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to
pay interest or Letter of Credit Fees at the Default Rate and (ii) to change the
manner of computation of any financial ratio (including any change in any
applicable defined term) used in determining the Applicable Rate that would
result in a reduction of any interest rate on any Loan or any fee payable
hereunder;

(d) change any provision of this Section or Section 8.04 or the definition of
“Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or
percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights

apply to a waiver of a Default or Event of Default not in connection with a
Credit Extension pursuant to Section 4.02);

(h) except as otherwise permitted herein, release all or substantially all of
the aggregate value of the Guarantors from the Guarantee Agreement without the

(j) change the application of prepayments as among or between Classes under
Section 2.05(b), without the written consent of the Required Class Lenders of
each Class that is being allocated a lesser prepayment as a result thereof (it
being understood that the Required Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any
prepayment so long as the application, as between Classes, of any portion of
such prepayment that is still required to be made is not changed and, if
additional Classes of Term Loans under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.14
or consented to by the Required Lenders are made, or any Term Loans under a
Refinancing Term Facility or Extended Term Loans are made, such new Term Loans
may be included on a pro rata basis in the various prepayments required pursuant

may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed
only by the parties thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no
Impacted Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment,
waiver or consent hereunder other than with respect to any amendment, waiver or
consent governed by Section 10.01(b), (c) or (f).

 

145

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and
restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower, and, with respect to credit facilities that include letter
of credit and swingline subfacilities, the Swing Line Lender and each L/C Issuer
(a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to
permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the
accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loans and the accrued
interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the
Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required
Lenders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Required Revolving Lenders may amend, waive
or otherwise modify Section 7.11 and the defined terms used therein solely for
purposes of Section 7.11, or waive any Default or Event of Default resulting
from a breach of Section 7.11, without the consent of any Lenders other than the
Required Revolving Lenders; provided that, any amendment, waiver or modification
of the Financial Covenant or any defined terms used solely for purposes of the
Financial Covenant for purposes of (i) any provision of this Agreement (other
than Section 7.11) that require compliance with the Financial Covenant on a Pro
Forma Basis, or (ii) the calculation of the Applicable Rate shall require the
consent of the Required Lenders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written
consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed), the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant
Refinancing Debt to permit the refinancing or replacement of all or any portion
of the outstanding Term Loans, or Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit
Commitments, under an applicable Class; provided that (i) any Refinancing Debt
does not mature prior to the date that is 91 days after the Latest Maturity Date
of the Loans being refinanced or replaced, or have a Weighted Average Life to
Maturity shorter than the Loans or Commitments being refinanced or replaced,
(ii) the Net Cash Proceeds of such Refinancing Debt shall be applied,
concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the pro rata prepayment of the
applicable outstanding Loans (and, in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility,
pro rata Revolving Credit Commitment reductions) under the applicable
Class being so refinanced, (iii) the aggregate principal amount of such
Refinancing Debt shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Loans
being refinanced or replaced, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid fees,
interest and premium thereon, any committed but undrawn amounts and costs and
expenses associated therewith, (iv) the Borrower shall be the Borrower of any
such Refinancing Debt and any such Refinancing Debt shall not be guaranteed by
any Person other than the Loan Parties, (v) the interest rates applicable to any
Refinancing Debt shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Lenders
of the relevant Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing Revolving Facility,
(vi) the covenants, events of default and guarantees with respect to such
Refinancing Debt, subject to preceding clauses of this sentence, shall be
consistent in all material respects with those applicable to the Loans being
refinanced or replaced (other than any covenants or other provisions applicable
only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date as of the date of incurrence of
such Refinancing Debt or if the Lenders also receive the benefit of such more
restrictive terms) and (vii) the Refinancing Debt shall be pari passu in right
of payment and pari passu in right of security with the other Obligations. Each
of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement may be amended by the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent (such agreement not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed) and the lenders providing the relevant
Refinancing Term Facility or the Refinancing Revolving Facility, as applicable,
to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and
terms of

 

146

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

the Refinancing Term Facility or the Refinancing Revolving Facility, as
applicable, incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to
treat the loans and commitments subject thereto as a separate tranche and
Class of Loans and Commitments hereunder). The Borrower shall extend the
opportunity to refinance or replace the then outstanding Loans and/or
Commitments under the applicable Class pursuant to this paragraph to all
applicable Lenders on a pro rata basis. Any Lender approached to provide all or
a portion of Refinancing Term Facility or any Refinancing Revolving Facility may
elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Refinancing Term
Facility or Refinancing Revolving Facility.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may
be amended pursuant to an Incremental Amendment in accordance with the terms and
conditions of Section 2.14 and an Extension Amendment in accordance with the
terms and conditions of Section 2.15.

Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, if
the Administrative Agent and Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious
error, manifest ambiguity, mistake or inconsistency or any error or omission of
a technical or immaterial nature (including to make any Loan Document consistent
with this Agreement), then the Administrative Agent and Borrower shall be
permitted to amend, supplement or modify such provision and such amendment,
modification or supplement shall become effective without any further action or
consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to
in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days following receipt
of notice thereof.

(a) Notices Generally. Except in the case of notices and other communications
expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in

147

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

and the L/C Issuers hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic
communication (including e-mail, FpML messaging, and Internet or intranet
websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided
that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or L/C Issuer
pursuant to Article II if such Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, has notified
the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such
Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent, the Swing Line
Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Borrower may each, in its discretion, agree to
accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic
communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of
such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other
communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the
sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by
the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other
written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is
not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or
communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on
the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications
posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the
deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in

BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM
LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF
ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD
PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT
PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event
shall the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of their Related
Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower,
any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise)
arising out of the Borrower’s, any Loan Party’s, the Administrative Agent’s or
the Collateral Agent’s transmission of the Borrower Materials or notices through
the Platform, any other electronic platform or electronic messaging service, or
through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a
final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Agent Party or such

 

148

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

Agent Party’s Related Parties; provided, however, that in no event shall any
Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or
any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive
damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

(d) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Loan Documents may be
transmitted and/or signed by facsimile or other electronic transmission. The
effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable
Law, have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be
binding on all Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent,
each L/C Issuer and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent may also require that
any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original
thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same
shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile or other electronically
transmitted document or signature.

(e) Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, any L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender may change its
address, telecopier, telephone number or electronic mail address for notices and
other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each
Lender may change its address, telecopier, telephone number or electronic mail
address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and, in the case of a Revolving Credit
Lender, each L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender. In addition, each Lender
agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the
Administrative Agent has on record (A) an effective address, contact name,
telephone number, telecopier number and electronic mail address to which notices
and other communications may be sent and (B) accurate wire instructions for such
Lender.

(f) Public Lenders. Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual
at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private
Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of
the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in
accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law,
including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to
Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side
Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public
information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of
United States Federal or state securities laws.

(g) Reliance by Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, L/C Issuer and Lenders.
The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders shall be entitled to
rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices, Borrowing Notices,
Swing Line Loan Notices and any Letter of Credit Request) purportedly given by
or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party even if (i) such notices
were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded
or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms
thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof.
The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
L/C Issuers, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of

 

149

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

them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the
reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the
Borrower or any other Loan Party except to the extent that such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person or such Person’s Related
Parties. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the
Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of
the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

Section 10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Exercise of Remedies. No failure
by any Lender, any L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent
to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy,
power or privilege hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents 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 are cumulative and not exclusive
of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan
Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested
exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law or in equity in
connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively
by, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in accordance with
Section 8.02 (and, if then in effect, the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement
and/or the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement) for the benefit of all the
Lenders and the L/C Issuers; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent from exercising on
its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its
capacity as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable) hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender from
exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its
capacity as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in
accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.13), or (d) any
Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own
behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any
Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person
acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise
ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 (and, if then in
effect, the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or the Pari Passu
Intercreditor Agreement) and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in
clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13,
any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and
remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

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 in the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which
the indemnity of this Section applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether
or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan
Party, any Loan Party’s equityholders or creditors or an Indemnitee, whether or
not an Indemnitee is a party hereto and whether or not any aspect of the
Transaction is consummated; provided further that such indemnity shall not, as
to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (x) the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related
Parties, (y) a material breach of the funding obligations of such Indemnitee or
any of its Related Parties hereunder, or (z) a dispute solely among the

waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 10.04(d) shall not relieve the
Borrower from its indemnification obligations under Section 10.04(b). No
Indemnitee referred to in Section 10.04(b) 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

the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any other Agent, any L/C Issuer
and the Swing Line Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of
this Agreement, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments, and the payment,
satisfaction or discharge of all of the other Obligations.

Section 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 Collateral Agent, any
L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent,
such 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
Collateral Agent, such 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 each L/C
Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
Agent, as applicable, upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of
any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent, as applicable, 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 Issuers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment
in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign
or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer and each
Lender (other than as set

 

153

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

forth in Section 7.05) and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the
provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in
accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by
way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions
of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or
transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than
the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,
Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to
the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees and the Related
Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the L/C
Issuers and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or
by reason of this Agreement.

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

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(1) 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, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum
amount need be assigned; and

(2) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(1) of this Section, the
aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the
principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to
each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if
“Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade
Date, shall, in the case of Term Loan Commitments or Term Loans not be less than
$1,000,000 (and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) and, in the
case of Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans not be less than
$5,000,000 (and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), in each
case, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided however, that
concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent
assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single assignee (or to an
assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single
assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

 

154

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

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all of 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 (A) apply to the Swing Line
Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B) prohibit
any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations in
separate tranches or Classes on a non-pro rata basis;

(iii) Required Consents. The following consents shall have been provided to the
extent required below:

(1) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender,
an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that no such assignment
may be made to any such Person that is, or would at such time constitute, an
Impacted Lender; provided further that, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written
notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received
notice thereof;

(2) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required;

(3) the consent of each L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) shall be required with respect to any assignment of Revolving Credit
Commitments; and

(4) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required with respect to any assignment of
Revolving Credit Commitments.

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

 

155

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

(v) Assignments to the Borrower and Affiliates. (1) Except as set forth in
clause (2) of this Section 10.06(b)(v), no such assignment shall be made to
(A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or its Restricted
Subsidiaries. or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the
foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), (2) Notwithstanding the
foregoing or any consent requirements otherwise set forth in this Section 10.06,
any Term Loan Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement in respect of any Class of Term Loans to the
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on a non-pro rata basis through
(x) Dutch auctions open to all Term Loan Lenders of such Class on a pro rata
basis in accordance with customary procedures to be agreed by the Administrative
Agent (or other applicable agent managing such auction) or (y) open market
purchases on a non-pro rata basis, in each case, subject to the following
limitations:

(A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the
time of acceptance of bids for the Dutch auction or consummation of such
purchase, as the case may be;

(B) the principal amount of such Term Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, assigned to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
shall be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date of such
assignment;

(C) the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not use the proceeds of
any Revolving Credit Loans to fund any such purchases, unless (x) the Borrower
shall have, on a Pro Forma Basis as of the last day of the most recent fiscal
quarter for which a Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to
Section 6.02(a), a Consolidated Leverage Ratio at least 1.00:1.00 lower than the
applicable ratio specified in Section 7.11 and (y) after giving pro forma effect
to any such funding, the Borrower shall have at least $50,000,000 of unused
availability under the Revolving Credit Facility;

(D) no cancellation of debt income increase to Consolidated Net Income,
Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA shall occur as a result of
such purchase; and

(E) the Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of
such contribution, assignment or transfer of such Term Loans, and the
Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the
cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register.

 

156

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

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

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to
this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with
respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of 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) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative
Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the
equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the
names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal
amounts (and stated interest) of the

 

157

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

Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof
from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for
all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at
any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any
Person (other than a natural person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or
trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person, a
Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or
Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s
rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of
its 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, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall
be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.04(c) without regard to the
existence of any participation.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to
Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this
Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the limitations and
requirements therein, including the requirements under Section 3.01(e)) to the
same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it
were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as
though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting
solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a
register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the
principal amounts (and related interest amount) of each Participant’s interest
in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant
Register”), provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or
any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any
Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any
Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan
Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary
to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is
in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations. The
entries in the Participant Register shall be

 

158

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

conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose
name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation
for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as
Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant
Register.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation
sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such
Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including
under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any
pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any
central 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) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender After Assignment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any
Revolving Credit Lender acting as Swing Line Lender or L/C Issuer assigns all of
its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to
subsection (b) above, such Revolving Credit Lender may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice
to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’
notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such
resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled
to appoint from among the Revolving Credit Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or
Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower
to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the resigning
Revolving Credit Lender as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be.
If a Revolving Credit Lender resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of an 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 Revolving Credit Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans or fund risk
participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If a
Revolving Credit Lender 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 Revolving Credit Lenders to make
Revolving Credit 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, subject to the
foregoing two sentences, 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 the resigning
Revolving Credit Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the resigning
Revolving Credit Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers

except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and
its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents,

instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested

same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of, pledgee of, or
Participant in, or any prospective assignee of, pledgee of, or Participant in,

prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any Swap Contract under which
payments are to be made by reference to, or relating to, the Borrower or any
Loan Party and its or their obligations, (g) (i) any ratings agency in
connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities

connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market
identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with
the consent of the Borrower, (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section,
(y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Lender,
any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis
from a source other than the Borrower, any Subsidiary, an MLP or any Subsidiary
of an MLP or (z) is independently developed by the Administrative Agent, any
other Agent, the L/C Issuer, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates,
or (j) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense. In addition, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this
Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors,
similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the
Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Information” means all information received
from or on behalf of the Borrower, any Subsidiary, an MLP or any Subsidiary of
an MLP relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary, an MLP or any Subsidiary of an
MLP or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that
is available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or

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

providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry.
Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided
in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do
so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own
confidential information.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the L/C
Issuers 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 nonpublic information in
accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws.

Section 10.08 Deposit Accounts; Right of Setoff. Each Loan Party hereby grants
to each L/C Issuer and each Lender a security interest, a Lien, and a right of
offset, each of which shall be in addition to all other interests, Liens, and
rights of any L/C Issuer or any Lender at common Law, under the Loan Documents,
or otherwise, to secure the repayment of the Obligations upon and against
(a) any and all moneys, securities or other property (and the proceeds
therefrom) of such Loan Party now or hereafter held or received by or in transit
to any L/C Issuer or any Lender from or for the account of such Loan Party,
whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise,
(b) any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final, in whatever currency) of such Loan Party with any L/C Issuer or any
Lender, and (c) any other credits and claims of such Loan Party at any time
existing against any L/C Issuer or any Lender, including claims under
certificates of deposit. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender, each 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 foreclose upon such Lien and/or 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, such L/C Issuer or any such
Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan
Party against any and all of the Obligations to such Lender or L/C Issuer,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender or L/C Issuer shall have made any
demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such
obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or
are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or L/C Issuer different from the
branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The
rights of each Lender, each 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, such L/C Issuer or their respective
Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such foreclosure or
such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall
not affect the validity of such foreclosure or such setoff and application. The
remedies of foreclosure and offset are separate and cumulative, and either may
be exercised independently of the other without regard to procedures or
restrictions applicable to the other.

 

161

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

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

Section 10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other
Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except
as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent
shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, facsimile or
other electronic transmission or imaging means (including, without limitation,
“.pdf” or “.tiff”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations
and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document
delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith
shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such
representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any L/C Issuer and each Lender,
regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent, each L/C Issuer or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any L/C Issuer 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
Loan Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of
Credit shall remain outstanding.

Section 10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality,
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the
parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of
which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this
Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in
this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief
Laws, as determined in good faith by 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.

 

162

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

Section 10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests compensation
under Section 3.04, (b) 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, (c) any Lender is an Impacted Lender, (d) any Lender is a
Non-Consenting Lender, or (e) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives
the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower
may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and
consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee
that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a
Lender accepts such assignment) that is not an Impacted Lender, 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 payable 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;

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

(e) in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a
Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the
applicable amendment, waiver or consent; and

(f) if a Term Loan Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender with respect to a Repricing
Transaction and such Term Loan Lender is replaced by the Borrower pursuant to
this Section 10.13, the Borrower shall pay such Non-Consenting Lender the Call
Premium to the extent required by Section 2.05(d).

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if,
prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation
cease to apply. Each Lender agrees that if it is replaced pursuant to this
Section 10.13, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent any promissory note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans
are evidenced by

 

163

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

promissory notes) subject to such Assignment and Assumption; provided that the
failure of any Lender replaced pursuant to this Section 10.13 to execute an
Assignment and Assumption or deliver such promissory notes shall not render such
sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid, and such Lender
shall be deemed to have executed the Assignment and Assumption within one
Business Day of a request that it do so in the event it has failed to do so
within such period, and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and
the relevant promissory notes shall be deemed cancelled.
