of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any
Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate

Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment (and the Blackwater Sublimit, if

Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.04, and
reborrow under this Section 2.01. Committed Loans may be Base Rate Loans or
Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. 

(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the
other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the
applicable Borrower’s (or the Borrower Representative’s) irrevocable notice to
the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone, or (B) a
Committed Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed
immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Committed Loan Notice.
Each such Committed Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not
later than 12:00 p.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any
conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the
requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that if
the applicable Borrower wishes to request Eurodollar Rate Loans having an
Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided
in the definition of “Interest Period”, the applicable notice must be received
by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. four Business Days prior
to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, whereupon
the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Lenders of such request
and determine

 

44

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

whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. Not later
than 12:00 p.m., three Business Days before the requested date of such
Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the
applicable Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the
requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders. Each
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in
a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess
thereof. Except as provided in Section 2.03(c), each Borrowing of or conversion

of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar
Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the new Borrowing, conversion or
continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the
principal amount of Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued,
(iv) the Type of Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are
to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with
respect thereto. If the applicable Borrower (or the Borrower Representative on
its behalf) fails to specify a Type of Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice
or if the applicable Borrower (or the Borrower Representative on its behalf)
fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the
applicable Committed 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 applicable Borrower (or the Borrower
Representative on its behalf) requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but
fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an
Interest Period of one month.

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the
applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or
continuation is provided by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic
conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the preceding subsection. In the case
of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Committed Loan
available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the
Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day
specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the
applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the
initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all
funds so received available to the applicable Borrower in like funds as received
by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the
applicable Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such
funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with
instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent
by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the
date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by or on
behalf of the applicable 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
applicable Borrower as provided above.

 

45

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

(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. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted
to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required
Lenders.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative
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 Representative 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 Committed Loans
from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Committed Loans as the same
Type, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect with
respect to Loans.

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer
agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this
Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from
the Original Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue
Letters of Credit for the account of each of the Borrowers or (subject to
receipt of all documentation and other information required by regulatory
authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering
rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act that the
L/C Issuer has requested) any Subsidiary of any Borrower, and to amend Letters
of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and
(2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally
agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of each of the
Borrowers or any Subsidiary of any Borrower to the extent such Letters of Credit
have not been Cash Collateralized and any drawings thereunder; provided that
after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of
Credit, (v) the Blackwater Outstandings shall not exceed the Blackwater
Sublimit, (w) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments,
(x) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, plus
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, (y) the Outstanding
Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit and
(z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations issued on behalf of the
Blackwater Borrower shall not exceed the Blackwater Sublimit. Each request by
the applicable Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit
shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrowers that the L/C Credit
Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to
the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, the Borrowers’ ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall
be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrowers may, during the foregoing
period, obtain

 

46

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

Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired without any
pending drawing or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Existing
Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from
and after the Original Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the
terms and conditions hereof.

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

(A) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than
twelve months after the date of issuance, unless the Required Lenders have
approved such expiry date; provided, however, such Letter of Credit may contain
a customary “evergreen” provision for the renewal thereof for additional one
(1) year periods; provided that no such period shall extend beyond the Letter of
Credit Expiration Date unless, on the date which is three (3) months prior to
the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, Cash Collateral has been provided for such
Letter of Credit; or

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

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

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator
shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing
such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of Law) from any Governmental
Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that
the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such
Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect
to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for
which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on
the Original Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed
loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Original Closing Date and
which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

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

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

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

 

47

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

(E) except for Letters of Credit in support of performance bonds, such Letter of
Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount
after any drawing thereunder; or

(F) any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C
Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral,
satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrowers (or
any of them) or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or potential
Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)) with respect to
the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to
be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which the
L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its
sole discretion.

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

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

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

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon
the request of the applicable Borrower (or the Borrower Representative)
delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the
form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a
Responsible Officer of the applicable Borrower (or the Borrower Representative).
Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer not later
than 12:00 p.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the
Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in
their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment,
as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter
of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail
satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested
Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof;
(C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the

 

48

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

name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented
by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any
certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing
thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and
(H) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of
a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of
Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to
the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of
amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the
proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably
require. Additionally, the applicable Borrower (or the Borrower Representative)
shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other
documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance
or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer may reasonably
require.

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

(iii) If a Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application,
the L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit
that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of
Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the
L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month
period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving
prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension
Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time
such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer,
the Borrowers shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer
for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued,
the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C
Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry
date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however,
that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer
has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at
such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as

 

49

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

extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or
(iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may
be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days
before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the
Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrowers that one or more of the
applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in
each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv) If a Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application,
the L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit
that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated
amount thereof after any drawing thereunder (each, an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter
of Credit”). Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall
not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer to permit such
reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued,
except as provided in the following sentence, the Lenders shall be deemed to
have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a
portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such
Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement
Letter of Credit permits the L/C Issuer to decline to reinstate all or any
portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice
of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing
(the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”), the L/C Issuer shall not permit such
reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in
writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the
Non-Reinstatement Deadline (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Required
Lenders have elected not to permit such reinstatement or (B) from the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrowers that one or more of the
applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied (treating
such reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of this clause) and,
in each case, directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such reinstatement.

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

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a
drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower
Representative and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m.
on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such
date, an “Honor Date”), the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer
through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such
drawing. If the applicable Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such
time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor
Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and
the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the
applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a

 

50

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

Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount
equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples
specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but
subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and
the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed
Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately
confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation
shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds
available (and the Collateral Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this
purpose) for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office
in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not
later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the
Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed
to have made a Base Rate Loan to the applicable Borrower in such amount. The
Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer and the
subject to Section 2.03(c)(iii), the obligation of the applicable Borrower to
reimburse the L/C Issuer such Unreimbursed Amount shall be deemed satisfied.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02
cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the applicable Borrower shall be
deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of
the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be
due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at
the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be
deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall
constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation
obligation under this Section 2.03.

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

(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or L/C Advances to
reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as
contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have
against the L/C Issuer, the applicable Borrower or any other Person for any
reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any
other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Committed
Loans pursuant to

 

51

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

this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02
(other than delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C
Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable
Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the
L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided
herein.

(vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant
to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in
Section 2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this
Agreement, the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting
through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon
for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such
payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to
the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any
administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer
in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest
and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s
Committed Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of
the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer
submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any
amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

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

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the
L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any
of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable
Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon
from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender,
at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.
The obligations of the 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 applicable Borrower to reimburse
the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each applicable Letter of Credit and to
repay each L/C

 

52

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

Borrowing, as the context requires, shall be absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

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

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

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

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

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Parent, Finance Co or the
AMID Borrower or any Subsidiary of the AMID Borrower.

The Borrower Representative 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 applicable Borrower’s (or the Borrower
Representative’s) instructions or other irregularity, the applicable Borrower or
the Borrower Representative will immediately, but in any event, within three
(3) Business Days, notify the L/C Issuer. The applicable Borrower shall be
conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its
correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and each of the Borrowers agree that, in
paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any
responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates
and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or
inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such

 

53

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

document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such
document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their
respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the
L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in
connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the
Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence
of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution,
effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related
to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. Each Borrower hereby assumes all
risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to
its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not
intended to, and shall not, preclude any Borrower’s pursuing such rights and
remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under
any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of
their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee
of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters
described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that
anything in this Section 2.03 to the contrary notwithstanding, the applicable
Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be
liable to the applicable Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any
direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such
Borrower which such Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful
misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under
any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight
draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a
Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C
Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the
validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits
thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be
invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer
and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any
such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP
shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit.

(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The applicable Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its
Applicable Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for
each applicable Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily
amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, any
Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender
with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not
provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this
Section 2.03 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable
Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their
respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to
Section 2.15(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the L/C
Issuer for its own account. 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

 

54

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

determined in accordance with Section 1.06. Letter of Credit Fees shall be
(i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June,
September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the
issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and
thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there
is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount
available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and
multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter
that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any
Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default
Rate.

(i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C
Issuer. The applicable Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own
account a fronting fee with respect to each applicable Letter of Credit, at the
rate per annum specified in the Fee Letters, computed on the daily amount
available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in
arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day
after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most
recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first
payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of
such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on
demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under
any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in
accordance with Section 1.06. In addition, the applicable Borrower shall pay
directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance,
presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and
charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in
effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable
on demand and are nonrefundable.

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

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

(l) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. The L/C Issuer may be replaced at any time
by written agreement among the Borrower Representative, the Administrative
Agent, such replaced L/C Issuer and the successor L/C Issuer. The Administrative
Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an L/C Issuer. At the
time any such replacement shall become effective, the applicable Borrower shall
pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced L/C Issuer pursuant
to this Section 2.03, as the context shall require. From and after the effective
date of such replacement, the successor L/C Issuer shall have all the rights

 

55

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

and obligations of the replaced L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to
Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and references herein to the term “L/C
Issuer” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous L/C
Issuer, or to such successor and all previous L/C Issuer, as the context shall
require. After the replacement of a L/C Issuer hereunder, the replaced L/C
Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and
obligations of a L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of
Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to
issue additional Letters of Credit.

2.04 Prepayments.

(a) Each of the Borrowers may, upon written notice from the Borrower
Representative to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time
voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or
penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of
prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base
Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal
amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; and
(iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$250,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if
less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice
shall be irrevocable except to the extent delivered in connection with a notice
of termination of the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to Section 2.05 that is
conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case
such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the applicable Borrower or the
Borrower Representative to the same extent that the notice of termination may be
revoked pursuant to Section 2.05. Each such notice shall specify the date and
amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Committed 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 Lender of its receipt
of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of
such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower Representative, the
applicable Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified
in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any
prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued
interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required
pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.15, each such prepayment shall be
applied to the Committed Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their
respective Applicable Percentages.

(b) (i) If for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the
Aggregate Commitments then in effect, the AMID Borrower shall immediately prepay
Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal
to such excess; provided, however, that the AMID Borrower shall not be required
to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.04(b)
unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans the Total Outstandings exceed
the Aggregate Commitments then in effect and (ii) if for any reason the
Blackwater Outstandings at any time exceed the Blackwater Sublimit, the
Blackwater Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans made to the Blackwater
Borrower and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations arising from Letters of
Credit issued on behalf of the Blackwater Borrower in an aggregate amount equal
to such excess; provided, however, that the Blackwater Borrower shall not be
required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations arising

 

56

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

from Letters of Credit issued on behalf of the Blackwater Borrower pursuant to
this Section 2.04(b) unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans made to
the Blackwater Borrower the Blackwater Outstandings exceed the Blackwater
Sublimit then in effect.

(c) Upon the occurrence of any Disposition by Parent or any other Loan Party
which results in the realization of Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrowers shall
prepay the Loans by an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds
immediately upon receipt thereof by Parent, Finance Co, the AMID Borrower or any
Subsidiary of the AMID Borrower, provided, however, that, at the election of the
Borrowers (as notified by the Borrower Representative to the Administrative
Agent on or prior to the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds), and so long
as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Parent or such Loan
Party may apply within 270 days after the receipt of such cash proceeds to
reinvest in assets useful in the business of the AMID Borrower or any Subsidiary
of the AMID Borrower (it being understood (A) such proceeds that are not
reinvested pursuant to this sentence shall constitute Net Cash Proceeds, (B) all
such proceeds shall constitute Net Cash Proceeds notwithstanding any investment
notice if there is a Default at the time of a proposed reinvestment and
(C) prepayment shall be required with such Net Cash Proceeds promptly after any
earlier date on which the Borrowers have determined not to use such Net Cash
Proceeds for any such purpose), and, provided, further, however, that
prepayments under this Section 2.04(c) shall not be required until the aggregate
amount of unapplied Net Cash Proceeds exceeds $10,000,000 in the aggregate in
any trailing twelve month period. The provisions of this section do not
constitute consent to any Dispositions by the Parent or any other Loan Party not
otherwise permitted hereunder.

(d) Upon any Extraordinary Receipt received by or paid to or for the account of
Parent or any other Loan Party not otherwise included in this Section, the
Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to such
Extraordinary Receipt immediately upon receipt thereof by Parent or any other
Loan Party; provided, however, that, at the election of the Borrowers (as
notified by the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent on or prior
to the date of receipt of such Extraordinary Receipt), and so long as no Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Parent or such other Loan Party may
apply within 270 days after the receipt of such cash proceeds to reinvest in
assets useful in the business of the AMID Borrower or any Subsidiary of the AMID
Borrower (it being understood (A) such proceeds that are not reinvested pursuant
to this sentence shall constitute Extraordinary Receipt, (B) all such proceeds
shall constitute an Extraordinary Receipt notwithstanding any investment notice
if there is a Default at the time of a proposed reinvestment and (C) prepayment
shall be required with such proceeds promptly after any earlier date on which
the Borrowers have determined not to use such proceeds for any such purpose).

(e) Upon the incurrence or issuance by Parent or any other Loan Party of any
Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness expressly permitted to be incurred or
issued pursuant to Section 7.03), the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans by an
amount equal to 100% of all net cash proceeds received therefrom immediately
upon receipt thereof by such Person.

 

57

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

(f) Each prepayment under this Section 2.04 shall be accompanied by accrued
interest on the amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment and amounts, if
any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.05 as a result of such
prepayment.

(g) In connection with each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.04, the
Administrative Agent shall have received a prepayment notice in a form
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which may include a
prepayment notice on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system),
appropriately completed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Aggregate Commitments
shall not be permanently reduced by any mandatory prepayments required by this
Section.

2.05 Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) The Borrower Representative may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent,
terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the
Aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by
the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. five 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, (iii) the Borrower Representative shall not terminate or reduce
the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent
prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate
Commitments, (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate
Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate
Commitments, such Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by
the amount of such excess, and (v) if, after giving effect to any reduction of
the Aggregate Commitments, the Blackwater Sublimit exceeds the amount of the
Aggregate Commitments, such Blackwater Sublimit shall be automatically reduced
by the amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the
Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate
Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the
Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees
accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments
shall be paid on the effective date of such termination, provided that a notice
of termination of the Aggregate Commitments delivered by the Borrower
Representative may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness
of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the
Borrower Representative (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to
the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(b) The Blackwater Borrower may, upon notice from the Borrower Representative to
the Administrative Agent, terminate the Blackwater Sublimit, or from time to
time permanently reduce the Blackwater Sublimit; provided that (i) any such
notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m.
five 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, (iii) the Blackwater Borrower shall
not terminate or reduce the Blackwater Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto
and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Blackwater Outstandings would
exceed the Blackwater

 

58

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

Sublimit, and (iv) if the Blackwater Sublimit is reduced to zero, the Blackwater
Borrower shall cease to be a Borrower hereunder. A termination of the Blackwater
Sublimit pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall not, in and of itself, result in
a reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. The Lenders authorize the
Administrative Agent to enter into all amendments and modifications to this
Agreement that are reasonably required to appropriately effect any termination
of the Blackwater Sublimit pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) and the removal of
the Blackwater Borrower as a Borrower in connection therewith.

2.06 Repayment of Loans. Each Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the
Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of its Committed Loans outstanding
on such date.

2.07 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate
Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each
Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such
Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall
bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable
borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Rate.

(b) (i) If any Obligation is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable
grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such
amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum
at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including
interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(ii) While any Event of Default exists and is continuing (and, other than with
respect to an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a)(i), if requested by the
Required Lenders), each Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of
all its outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per
annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified
herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms
hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

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

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a
commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by
which the Aggregate Commitments exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of
Committed Loans and (ii) the Outstanding

 

59

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

Amount of L/C Obligations, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.15.
The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period,
including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV
is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last
Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the
first such date to occur after the Original Closing Date, and on the last day of
the Availability Period. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in
arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter,
the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate
separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in
effect.

(b) Other Fees. (i) The Borrowers shall pay to the Arranger and the
Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and
at the times specified in the Fee Letters. Such fees shall be fully earned when
paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(ii) The Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been
separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.
Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any
reason whatsoever.

2.09 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including when the Base
Rate is determined by reference to the Eurodollar 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 2.11(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.

(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial
statements to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement or for any other reason,
the Borrowers or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Total Leverage
Ratio as calculated by Parent as of any applicable date was inaccurate and
(ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio would have
resulted in higher pricing for such period, each Borrower shall immediately and
retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, promptly on demand
by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed
entry of an order for relief with respect to Parent or the Borrowers under the
Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action
by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer), an amount equal to
the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid by such
Borrower for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid by
such Borrower for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the
Administrative

 

60

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

Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under
Section 2.03(c)(iii), 2.03(h) or 2.07(b) or under Article VIII. The Borrowers’
respective obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the
Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

2.10 Evidence of Debt. The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be
evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by
the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or
records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be
conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by
the Lenders to each 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 Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with
respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts
and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the
request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the applicable
Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans to such Borrower in
addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its
Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of
its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

2.11 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without
condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers
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 Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided
herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such
Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after
2:00 p.m. shall 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 Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment
shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time
shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the
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 1:00 p.m. 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 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such
Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required
by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
the applicable Borrower a corresponding

 

61

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

amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the
applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable
Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available
funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is made available to the applicable Borrower 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 applicable Borrower, the interest rate
applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the applicable 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 such Borrower the
amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender
pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the
amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in such
Borrowing. Any payment by any Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim
the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such
payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower (or
the Borrower Representative) prior to the time at which any payment is due to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer
hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in
accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the
Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if
such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from
and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the
date of payment to the 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
Representative 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 the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not
made available to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent because
the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are
not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative
Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to
such Lender, without interest.

 

62

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

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to
make Committed Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make
payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of
any Lender to make any Committed 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 Committed Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment
under Section 10.04(c).

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

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

2.12 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 Committed Loans made by it, or the
participations in L/C Obligations held by it resulting in such Lender’s
receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Committed
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 Committed Loans and
subparticipations in L/C Obligations 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 Committed Loans 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 (x) any
payment made by or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with
the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising
from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash
Collateral provided for in Section 2.14, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender
as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant,
other than to the Borrower Representative or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which
the provisions of this Section shall apply).

 

63

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

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

2.13 Increase in Commitments.

(a) Request for Increase. Provided no Default exists and is continuing, upon
notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders),
the Borrower Representative may from time to time after September 18, 2015,
request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments in effect as of September 18,
2015 (each an “Incremental Commitment”), on the same terms (including as to
pricing) and secured on a pari passu basis by the same Collateral as the
Commitments in effect on the Original Closing Date, by an amount (for all such
requests) not exceeding $150,000,000; provided that any such request for an
increase shall be in a minimum amount of $20,000,000 (other than requests for
the entire remaining amount). At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower
Representative (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the
time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no
event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such
notice to the Lenders).

(b) Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative
Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees (in its sole discretion)
to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater
than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested increase. Any
Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined
to increase its Commitment. No Lender shall be required to participate in any
increase in the Aggregate Commitments.

(c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. Within five
(5) Business Days following such time period, the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrower Representative and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to
each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase
and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer
(which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower
Representative may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders
pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

(d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Commitments are increased
in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
Representative shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective
Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Lenders of the final
allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

 

64

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

(e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such
increase, the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
a certificate of the Borrowers dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in
sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of the
Borrower Representative (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by
the board of the General Partner approving or consenting to such increase (and
certifying either (A) that the approval or consent of each other Loan Party is
not required or (B) that each other Loan Party has approved or consented to such
increase, attaching copies of any resolutions adopted by such Loan Parties not
previously delivered to the Administrative Agent evidencing such approval or
consent), and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such
increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the
other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective
Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically
refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such
earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.13, the
representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of
Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished
pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, (B) no Default
exists and is continuing, and (C) the financial covenants contained in
Section 7.19 are satisfied on a pro forma basis after giving effect to any
incremental Borrowing associated with such increase and for the most recent
determination period. The applicable Borrower shall prepay any Committed Loans
outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts
required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the
outstanding Committed Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages
arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.

(f) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in
Sections 2.12 or 10.01 to the contrary.

2.14 Cash Collateral.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Collateral Agent or
the L/C Issuer (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing
request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C
Borrowing, the applicable Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then
Outstanding Amount of such L/C Borrowing or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the
applicable Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding
Amount of such L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting
Lender, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the L/C
Issuer, the applicable Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent Cash
Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving
effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting
Lender).

(b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support
not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked,
non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Collateral Agent. Each of the
Borrowers and the Parent, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender,
such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and agrees to maintain, a first
priority

 

65

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

security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein,
and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all
proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such
Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.14(c). If at any time the
Collateral Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or
claim of any Person other than the Collateral Agent as herein provided, or that
the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting
Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the applicable Borrower or the
relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Collateral Agent,
pay or provide to the Collateral Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount
sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.14 or Sections
2.03, 2.05, 2.15 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and
applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, obligations to fund
participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a
Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other
obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other
application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to
reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly
following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other
obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting
Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee
following compliance with Section 10.06(b)(vi))) or (ii) the Collateral Agent’s
good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided,
however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party
shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default
(and following application as provided in this Section 2.14 may be otherwise
applied in accordance with Section 8.03), and (y) the Person providing Cash
Collateral and the L/C Issuer, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral
shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting
Exposure or other obligations.

2.15 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall
be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other
amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting
Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or
otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent
by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), shall be applied at such
time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:
first, to the payment of any amounts

 

66

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

owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second,
to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting
Lender to the L/C Issuer hereunder; third, if so determined by the
Administrative Agent or requested by the L/C Issuer, to be held as Cash
Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any
participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower Representative
may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists and is
continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting
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 Representative, to be held in a
non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy
obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth,
to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer as a result
of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or
the L/C Issuer against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting
Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no
Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing, to the payment of any
amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against that Defaulting Lender
as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this
Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a
court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment
of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that
Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans
or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to
pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a
pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C
Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other
amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay
amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this
Section 2.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting
Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive
any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.08(a) for any period during which that
Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and no Borrower shall be required to pay any such
fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting
Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees
as provided in Section 2.03(h).

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During
any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the
amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or
fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.03, the
“Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without
giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that,
(i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the
applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default
exists and is continuing; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each
non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of
Credit shall not

 

67

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

exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that
non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
Committed Loans of that Lender.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower Representative, the Administrative
Agent and the L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a
Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the
Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the
effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth
therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral),
that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding
Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative
Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Committed Loans and funded and
unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by
the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving
effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a
Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with
respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while
that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the
extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder
from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any
claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting
Lender.

ARTICLE III.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes. For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “Laws” includes FATCA.

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

(ii) If any Borrower, any Guarantor or the Administrative Agent shall be
required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United
States federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then
(A) such Borrower, Guarantor or the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make
such deductions as are determined by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent
to be required, (B) such Borrower, Guarantor or the Administrative Agent shall
timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the
withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes,
the sum payable by such Borrower or Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so
that after any required withholding or the making of all

 

68

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

required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
withholding or deduction been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of
subsection (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay or cause to be paid any
Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
Law.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrowers. (i) Without limiting the provisions of
subsection (a) or (b) above, any applicable Borrower and any applicable
Guarantor shall, and each does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, each
Lender and the L/C Issuer, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10
days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on
or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by
such Borrower, such Guarantor or the Administrative Agent or paid by the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any
penalties, interest and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
Each Borrower shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent,
and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor,
for any amount which a Lender or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay
indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this
subsection. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability and
reasonably detailed calculations therefore delivered to the Borrower
Representative by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a
Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender
and the L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days
after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses,
claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees,
charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Borrowers or the Administrative
Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent
by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender or the
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy,
inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such
Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e). Each Lender and the L/C Issuer
hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all
amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the
Administrative Agent under this subsection (d). The agreements in this
subsection (d) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the
Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a
Lender or the L/C Issuer, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the
repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

 

69

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

(e) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Borrower Representative or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the
applicable Borrower (or applicable Guarantor) or the Administrative Agent to a
Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the applicable Borrower
(or applicable Guarantor or the Borrower Representative on any of their behalf)
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall
deliver to the Borrower Representative, as the case may be, the original or a
certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing
such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or
other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower
Representative or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(f) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. (i) Each Lender shall deliver to the
Borrower Representative and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times
prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by the Borrower
Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any
jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the
Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to
determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan
Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of
withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available
exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to
be made to such Lender by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise
to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable
jurisdiction.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrowers are
resident for tax purposes in the United States,

(A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and
the Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9
or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or
reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent
as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to
determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or
information reporting requirements; and

(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty
to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower
Representative and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall
be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign
Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter
upon the request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, but
only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the
following is applicable:

(I) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E,
or any subsequent version thereof or successor thereto, claiming eligibility for
benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

 

70

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

(II) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, or any
subsequent version thereof or successor thereto,

(III) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, or any
subsequent version thereof or successor thereto, and all required supporting
documentation,

(IV) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the
effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of
section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of either of
the Borrowers within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a
“controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code
and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form
W-8BEN-E, or any subsequent version thereof or successor thereto, or

(V) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a
basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal
withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative
Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(C) 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 Representative and the Administrative Agent at the
time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested
by the Borrower Representative 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 Representative or the Administrative Agent
as may be necessary for the Borrowers (or any applicable Guarantor) 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 (C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments
made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

71

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

(iii) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower Representative and the
Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render
invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not
be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender,
and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending
Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that the
Borrower Representative, any Borrower, any applicable Guarantor or the
Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts
payable to such Lender.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time
shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise
pursue on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to
any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from
funds paid for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be.
If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its
sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to
which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it
shall pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the
extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers
under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving
rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the 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 each of the Borrowers,
upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer,
agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties,
interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to
require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available
its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems
confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

3.02 Illegality.

If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its
applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund 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
Representative and Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to
make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the
illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest
rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the
Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if
necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent
without reference to the Eurodollar Rate

 

72

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

component of the Base Rate, in each case, until such Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative that the circumstances
giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice,
(x) the applicable 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 made to such Borrower to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate
on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such
illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the
Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the
Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such
Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately (without regard to
satisfaction of any condition to conversion contained elsewhere herein,
including, but not limited to Section 3.05), if such Lender may not lawfully
continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts
the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon
the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such
suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to
the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised
in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to
determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such
prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued
interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If in connection with any request for a
Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof (a) the
Administrative Agent determines that (i) 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, or (ii) 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 (in each case
with respect to clause (a)(i) above, “Impacted Loans”), or (b) the Required
Lenders determine that for any reason 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
Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the
Borrower Representative 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) in
the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to
the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the
Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in
each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required
Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, either of the
Borrowers or the Borrower Representative 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 in the amount specified therein (without regard to
satisfaction of any condition to conversion contained elsewhere herein,
including, but not limited to Section 3.05). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (a)(i)
of this section, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower
Representative and the affected Lenders, may establish an alternative interest
rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest
shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative
Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under

 

73

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

clause (a) of the first sentence of this section, (2) the Administrative Agent
or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
Representative that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or
(3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its
applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is
determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or
charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has
imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the
foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative
written notice thereof.

3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory
loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with
or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender
(except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e)) or the L/C
Issuer;

(ii) subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the 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 Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or
change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in
respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by
Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded
Tax payable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer); or

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

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

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any
Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of
such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any,
regarding capital or liquidity

 

74

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

requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the
L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the
Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of
Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer,
to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or
the L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law
(taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the
policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to
capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the applicable Borrower
will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such
Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer
setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the
L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in
subsection (a) or (b) of this Section, the methodology for the calculations and
the calculations thereof prepared in good faith, in reasonable detail and
delivered to the Borrower Representative shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business
Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C
Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right
to demand such compensation, provided that no Borrower shall be required to
compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of
this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than
180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may
be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to
such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s
intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180
day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. The applicable 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 eurodollar funds or
deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on
the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan made to such Borrower
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 absent manifest error), which shall be due and payable on each date
on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower Representative
shall have received at least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender which
notice shall include the amount of such costs, the methodology for the
calculation and the calculation thereof. If a Lender fails to give notice 10

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

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan made to such
Borrower 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 such Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such
Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan made to
such Borrower other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified
by the applicable Borrower or the Borrower Representative; or

(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan made to such Borrower on a day
other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request
by the applicable Borrower or the Borrower Representative pursuant to
Section 10.13;

including any loss or expense (but not including loss of anticipated profits)
arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain
such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds
were obtained. The applicable Borrower shall also pay any customary
administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders
under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each
Eurodollar Rate Loan made by such Lender to a particular Borrower at the
Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the
London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable
period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

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

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

writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its properties, except in
such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction
or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently
conducted or (b) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, (i) each Borrower and each Subsidiary thereof have obtained and
maintained all Approvals necessary pursuant to applicable Law to construct, own,
maintain and operate the business in which it is currently engaged, including
all properties, facilities and equipment associated therewith, and (ii) all such
Approvals are in full force and effect and to the knowledge of the Borrowers,
are not subject to any administrative or judicial proceeding that could result
in modification, termination or revocation thereof.

the Subsidiaries of the AMID Borrower own, or possess the right to use, all of
the trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent rights,
franchises, licenses and other intellectual property rights (collectively, “IP
Rights”) that are reasonably necessary for the present operation of their
respective businesses, without known conflict with the rights of any other
Person. To the best knowledge of the Borrowers, no slogan or other advertising
device, product, process, method, substance, part or other material now
employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by Parent, Finance Co, any
Borrower or any Subsidiary of the AMID Borrower infringes upon any IP Rights
held by any other Person. No claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing
is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened in writing,
which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

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

5.18 Material Contracts. Schedule 5.18 sets forth an accurate and complete list
of all Material Contracts (including all amendments thereto) in effect on or as
of the Original Closing Date to which Parent, Finance Co, any Borrower or any
Subsidiary of the AMID Borrower is a party or is bound (other than the Loan
Documents). Complete copies of such documents have been made available to the
Administrative Agent (or will be made available to the Administrative Agent upon
its written request). All Material Contracts are in full force and effect and
have not been terminated (except any such Material Contract that has expired by
its terms) and none of Parent, Finance Co, any Borrower or any Subsidiary of the
AMID Borrower is in default thereunder, and to the best knowledge of the
Borrowers, there is no uncured default by any counterparty thereto and none of
Parent, Finance Co, any Borrower or any Subsidiary of the AMID Borrower has
altered or amended any material item or provision of any Material Contract
except where such termination, non-enforceability, default, alterations or
amendments, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected
to have an adverse effect on the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the L/C
Issuer or any Lenders (provided that the termination and replacement of a
Material Contract in the ordinary course of business shall be deemed not to have
such an adverse effect if the replacement will occur with reasonable promptness
in the business judgment of the Borrowers, and the replacement Contractual
Obligation is substantially as favorable to the Loan Parties, the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders as the Contractual Obligation being
replaced). None of the Material Contracts prohibit the transactions contemplated
hereby. Each Material Contract is currently in the name of, or has been assigned
to, Parent, Finance Co, any Borrower or any Subsidiary of the AMID Borrower
(with the consent or acceptance of each other party thereto if and to the extent
that such consent or acceptance is required thereunder).

5.19 Labor Disputes and Acts of God. Neither the businesses nor the properties
of any Loan Party are affected by any fire, explosion, accident, strike, lockout
or other labor dispute, drought, storm, hail, earthquake, embargo, act of God or
of the public enemy or other casualty, that, either individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect
(except to the extent such event is covered by insurance sufficient to ensure
that, upon application of the proceeds thereof, no Material Adverse Effect could
reasonably be expected to occur).

5.20 Solvency. Upon giving effect to the execution of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents by the Borrowers and each Guarantor that is a party
thereto, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,
the Borrowers and each Guarantor, on a consolidated basis, will be Solvent.

5.21 Security Documents.

The provisions of the Security Documents are (or when delivered will be)
effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Secured Parties a legal, valid and enforceable first priority Lien (subject to
Liens permitted by Section 7.01) on all right, title and interest of the
respective Loan Parties in the Collateral described therein. Except for
(i) filings completed prior to the Original Closing Date or after the Original
Closing Date in accordance with the Existing Credit Agreement and
(ii) appropriate filings or recordings in the appropriate offices as required
under applicable Laws and as contemplated hereby and other actions required by
the Security Documents, no filing or other action will be necessary to perfect
or protect such Liens.

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

5.22 State and Federal Regulation.

(a) The Interstate Pipeline comprising a portion of the Collateral are subject
to regulation by the FERC under the NGA, NGPA, ICA, and EPAct 2005. With respect
to the Interstate Pipelines, (a) the rates on file with the FERC are just and
reasonable pursuant to the EPAct 2005 and (b) no provision of the tariff
containing such rates is unduly discriminatory or preferential. Except as set
forth on Schedule 5.22(a), to the Borrowers’ knowledge, none of the Borrowers
nor any of their respective Subsidiaries nor any Person that now owns or has
owned an interest in the Interstate Pipelines or operates or has operated the
Interstate Pipelines has been or is the subject of complaint, investigation or
other proceeding regarding their respective rates or practices with respect to
the Interstate Pipelines. No complaint investigation or other proceeding set
forth on Schedule 5.22(a), individually or in the aggregate, could result, if
adversely determined to the position or interest of the Borrowers or any of
their respective Subsidiaries, in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Certain Intrastate Pipelines that comprise a portion of the Collateral are
subject to regulation by one or more State Pipeline Regulatory Agencies. The
Borrowers and each of their respective Subsidiaries that owns pipelines or
conducts pipeline operations has followed prudent practice in the Hydrocarbon
transportation, processing and distribution industries, as applicable, regarding
the setting of rates for services provided and the implementation of such rates.
The rates charged by each Borrower and its applicable Subsidiaries with respect
to the Intrastate Pipelines provide no more than fair return on the aggregate
value of the property used to render services on the Intrastate Pipelines, and
no such party uses, charges, imposes or implements, or has previously done any
of the foregoing, in a discriminatory manner. Except as set forth on Schedule
5.22(b), to the Borrowers’ knowledge, none of the Borrowers nor any of their
respective Subsidiaries that owns any interest in, or operates any of the
Intrastate Pipelines has been or is the subject of complaint, investigation or
other proceeding by any Governmental Authority regarding their respective rates
or practices with respect to the Intrastate Pipelines. No complaint,
investigation or other proceeding set forth on Schedule 5.22(b), individually or
in the aggregate, could result, if adversely determined to the position or
interest of the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries or other such
Person, in Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Each Borrower and each of its applicable Subsidiaries is in compliance in
all material respects with all rules regulations and orders of the FERC and all
State Pipeline Regulatory Agencies applicable to its property.

(d) As of the Original Closing Date, neither Parent nor any Subsidiary of the
AMID Borrower is liable for any material refunds or interest thereon as result
of an order from the FERC or any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over
any portion of the Interstate Pipeline or Intrastate Pipeline.

(e) Each Borrower’s and each of its applicable Subsidiary’s report on Form 2 or
2A, as applicable, filed with the FERC, if any, complies with all applicable
material legal requirements and does not contain any untrue statement of
material fact or omit to state material fact required to make the statements
therein not misleading.

 

88

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

5.23 OFAC. None of Parent, Finance Co, any Borrower or any Subsidiary of the
AMID Borrower, nor any director, officer, employee, agent, affiliate or
representative thereof, is an individual or entity that is, or is owned or
controlled by any individual or entity that is (i) currently the subject or
target of any Sanctions or (ii) located, organized or resident in a Designated
Jurisdiction.

5.24 Anti-Corruption Laws. The Parent, Finance Co, the Borrowers and the
Subsidiaries of the AMID Borrower have conducted their businesses in compliance
with applicable anti-corruption laws and have instituted and maintained policies
and procedures designed to promote and achieve compliance with such laws.

5.25 EEA Financial Institutions. No Loan Party is an EEA Financial Institution.

92

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

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

6.03 Risk Management Policy. Keep the Risk Management Policy in full force and
effect, and in accordance therewith, conduct its business in compliance with the
Risk Management Policy. The Parent or the Borrower Representative shall provide
at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent
of any proposed amendment, modification, supplement or other change to such Risk
Management Policy, which proposed amendment, modification, supplement or other
change must receive the approval of the Administrative Agent (such approval not
to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if relating to the
modifications to credit limits or open or stop loss position limits or contract
or commodity traded limits. Failure of the Administrative Agent to respond to
any proposed amendment, modification, supplement or other change in writing
setting forth its reasons for disapproval within ten (10) Business Days of
receipt of such written notice from the Parent or the Borrower Representative
shall be deemed to be approval of such proposed amendment, modification,
supplement or other change by the Administrative Agent. The Parent or the
Borrower Representative shall provide to the Administrative Agent (for
distribution to the Lenders, including, without limitation, if requested by a
Lender, through posting on the Platform), within ten (10) days of the
effectiveness of any such amendment, modification, supplement or other change,
such revised Risk Management Policy in its entirety. Each

 

93

Borrower agrees that upon request by the Administrative Agent, from time to
time, Parent, the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent will
review and evaluate the Risk Management Policy.

Parent, Finance Co, the AMID Borrower or any Subsidiary of the AMID Borrower has

such a Material Adverse Effect;

(c) of the occurrence of any ERISA Event;

setting forth details of the occurrence referred to therein and stating what
action the Parent has taken and proposes to take with respect thereto. Each

provisions of this Agreement and any other Loan Document that have been
breached.

6.05 Payment of Obligations. Pay and discharge as the same shall become due and
payable, all its obligations and liabilities, including (a) all tax liabilities,

are being maintained by Parent, Finance Co, the AMID Borrower or such Subsidiary
of the AMID Borrower; (b) all lawful claims which, if unpaid, would by Law
become a Lien upon its property, unless the same are being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and adequate reserves in

Adverse Effect.

6.06 Preservation of Existence, Etc. (a) Preserve, renew and maintain in full
force and effect its legal existence and good standing under the Laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization except in a transaction permitted by
Section 7.04 or 7.05; (b) take all reasonable

 

94

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

action it deems necessary in its reasonable business judgment, to maintain all
rights, privileges, permits, licenses and franchises necessary for the normal
conduct of its business, except to the extent that failure to do so could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (c) preserve or
renew all of its registered patents, trademarks, trade names and service marks,
the non-preservation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material

material properties and equipment necessary in the operation of its business in
good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted; and (b) make
all necessary repairs thereto and renewals and replacements thereof except where

Effect.

6.08 Maintenance of Insurance. Maintain with financially sound and reputable
insurance companies not Affiliates of the Borrowers, adequate insurance with
respect to its properties (including properties that are subject to a mortgage
or deed of trust) and business against loss or damage of the kinds customarily
insured against by Persons engaged in the same or similar business, of such
types and in such amounts as are customarily carried under similar circumstances
by such other Persons and providing (a) for payment of losses to the Collateral
Agent as its interests may appear, (b) that such policies may not be canceled or
reduced or affected in any material manner for any reason without 30 days prior
notice (or such shorter period of time that the Administrative Agent may agree
to in its sole discretion or as may be required by applicable Laws) to the
Collateral Agent, and (c) for any other matters specified in any applicable
Security Document or which the Collateral Agent may reasonably require. With
respect to properties that are subject to a mortgage or deed of trust and on
which Buildings or Manufactured Mobile Homes constituting Collateral, the
Borrowers (or the Borrower Representative on any of their behalf) will and will
cause Parent, Finance Co, the AMID Borrower and the Subsidiaries of AMID
Borrower to (i) provide the Administrative Agent with a standard life of loan
flood hazard determination form for such property, (ii) if required, obtain and
provide evidence of flood insurance (including evidence of renewal and payment
of premiums therefor), if available, in such form, on such terms and in such
amounts as required by the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 or as
otherwise required by Flood Insurance Regulations or as reasonably requested by
the Administrative Agent, if at any time the area in which any improvements
located on any properties that are subject to a mortgage or deed of trust (where
such improvements are subject to such mortgage or deed of trust) are within a
“flood hazard area” in any Flood Insurance Rate Map published by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency), (iii) furnish to the
Administrative Agent written notice of any redesignation of any such improved
real property into or out of a special flood hazard area promptly upon any
Borrower’s having knowledge of such redesignation, and (iv) otherwise comply
with the Flood Insurance Regulations. In addition, to the extent Parent, Finance
Co, the AMID Borrower or any Subsidiary of the AMID Borrower fails to obtain or
maintain satisfactory flood insurance required pursuant to the preceding
sentence with respect to any relevant property, the Administrative Agent shall
be permitted, in its sole discretion, to obtain forced placed insurance at the
Borrowers’ expense to ensure compliance with any applicable flood insurance laws
or Flood Insurance Regulations.

 

95

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

6.09 Compliance with Laws. Comply in all material respects with the requirements
of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or
to its business or property, except in such instances in which (a) such
requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted; or (b) the failure
to comply therewith could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

6.10 Books and Records. Maintain proper books of record and account, in which
full, true and correct entries in conformity with GAAP consistently applied
shall be made of all financial transactions and matters involving the assets and
business of Parent, Finance Co, the AMID Borrower or any Subsidiary of the AMID
Borrower, as the case may be.

6.11 Inspection Rights. Upon reasonable advance notice to the Borrower
Representative, permit representatives and independent contractors of the
Administrative Agent and each Lender to visit and inspect any of its properties,
at their own risk (to the extent accompanied by a representative of the
Borrowers or applicable Subsidiary of the AMID Borrower and subject to any terms
of any applicable easement), 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, all at the expense of the Borrowers and at such reasonable

8.02 Remedies Upon Event of Default.

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent
shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders,
take any or all of the following actions:

(a) declare the Commitment of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of
the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions to be terminated, whereupon such
Commitments and obligation shall be terminated;

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

Documents;

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an
order for relief with respect to Parent, any Borrower or any Subsidiary of the
AMID Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the obligation of
each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuer to make L/C
Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of
all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall
automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the Borrowers to
Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become
effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender.

 

118

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

8.03 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in
Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and
payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash

received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to the provisions of
Sections 2.14 and 2.15 be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following
order:

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

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,
indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of
Credit Fees) payable to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer (including fees, charges
and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the L/C Issuer
arising under the Loan Documents and amounts payable under Article III), ratably
among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause
Second payable to them;

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and

Issuer and the Lender Counterparties in proportion to the respective amounts
described in this clause Fourth held by them;

Fifth, to the Collateral Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer, to Cash
Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn
amount of Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized by
the Borrowers pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.14; and

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

Subject to Section 2.03(c) and Section 2.14, amounts used to Cash Collateralize
the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above
shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur.
If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit
have either been fully drawn or expired without any pending drawing, such
remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order
set forth above.

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

ARTICLE IX.

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND COLLATERAL AGENT

9.01 Appointment and Authority. (a) Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer
hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (for purposes of this Article IX
only, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to
collectively as the “Agents”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and
authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such
powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together
with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders
and the L/C Issuer, and none of the Borrowers nor any other Loan Party shall
have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is
understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other
Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Agents is not
intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations
arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used
as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an
administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan
Documents, and each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably
appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender
and the L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all
Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the
Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably
incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent, as “collateral
agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by 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 Collateral Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of
this Article IX and Article X (including Section 10.04(c), as though such
co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under
the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and/or
the Collateral 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 an Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person
serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor
or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of
business with Parent, the Borrowers 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.

9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations
except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and
each Agent’s duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither Agent:

(a) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

 

120

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

(b) shall 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 neither 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, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents,
have any duty to disclose, or be liable for the failure to disclose, any
information relating to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates that is
communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as an Agent or any of its
Affiliates in any capacity.

Neither 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, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a
final nonappealable judgment. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of
any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to such
Agent by Parent, either of the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative), a Lender
or the L/C Issuer.

Neither 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 the creation, perfection or priority
of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or
the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set
forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items
expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

9.04 Reliance by Agents. 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

 

121

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

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

9.05 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and
exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or
through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any
such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory
provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related
Parties of the Agents and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their
respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. No Agent shall be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the
extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final
nonappealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful
misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

9.06 Resignation of Agents. 

(a) Either Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders,
the L/C Issuer and the Borrower Representative. Upon receipt of any such notice
of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with
the Borrower Representative, 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 Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may
on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Agent meeting
the qualifications set forth above; provided, that in no event shall any such
successor Agent be a Defaulting Lender or a Competitor. Whether or not a
successor has been appointed, such resignation shall nonetheless become
effective in accordance with such notice.

(b) If any Person serving as an Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause
(d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted
by applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower Representative and such
Person remove such Person as such Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower
Representative, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in
accordance with such notice.

 

122

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

(c) From and after the effectiveness of such resignation or removal, (1) the
retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any
collateral security held by such Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C
Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Agent shall
continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent
is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided
to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be made by or to each
Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders
appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the
acceptance of a successor’s appointment as an Agent hereunder, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring (or removed) Agent, and the retiring or removed 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 Borrowers to a successor Agent shall
be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between
the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring or removed 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 or removed 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 or removed Agent was acting as such Agent.

(d) Any resignation or removal by Bank of America as Agent pursuant to this
Section shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer. Upon the acceptance
of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall
succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer shall be
discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue
letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding
at the time of such succession or make other 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.

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

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

 

123

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

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 Borrowers)
shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or
otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest
owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C
Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C
Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and
all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent
under Sections 2.03(h) and (i), 2.08 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial
proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable
on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent
and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent
any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.08 and 10.04.

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

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

 

124

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

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

The parties hereto agree that each Secured Party shall retain any individual
right it may have to credit bid at any sales of all or any portion of the
Collateral conducted under the Uniform Commercial Code, the Bankruptcy Code of
the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a
Loan Party is subject.

9.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably
authorize each Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agents under
any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment
in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations)
and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit without any pending
drawing, (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any
sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if approved,
authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; provided that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, releases of all or substantially all of the
Collateral shall require the written consent of each Lender as contemplated by
Section 10.01;

(b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agents
under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is
permitted by Section 7.01(i); and

(c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty and
Collateral Agreement if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary of the AMID
Borrower (or in the case of Finance Co, a Subsidiary of Parent) as a result of a
transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.

 

125

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

Upon request by either Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in
writing such Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in
particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its
obligations under the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement pursuant to this
Section 9.10. In each case as specified in this Section 9.10, the Administrative
Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will, at the Borrowers’ expense,
execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan
Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral
from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents
or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from
its obligations under the guaranty contained in the Guaranty and Collateral
Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and
this Section 9.10.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible
for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty
regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the
existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any
certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the
Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

No Cash Management Bank or any Lender Counterparty in respect of the Hedging
Contract that obtains the benefit of the provisions of Section 8.03 or any
Collateral by virtue of this Agreement or 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 with respect to the
Collateral other than in its capacity as a Lender.

ARTICLE X.

10.01 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document (other than Letters of Credit or the Fee Letters,
each of which shall be modified only in accordance with their respective terms),

therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders
and the Borrowers 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

Loan or L/C Borrowing, or (subject to clause (iii) of the second proviso to this

term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the

each Lender;

(h) release all or substantially all of the value of the guaranty contained in
the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement without the written consent of each
Lender, except as provided in Section 9.10; or

(i) release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or
series of related transactions without the written consent of each Lender;
provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, releases of less than all or

Document relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) no

any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent
which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender
may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting
Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be
increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver,
amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected
Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other

(B) the Administrative Agent may, with the prior written consent of the Borrower
Representative only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents to cure any manifest ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect
or inconsistency so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at
least five Business Days prior written notice thereof and the Administrative
Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such
notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that
the Required Lenders object to such amendment.

128

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

approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not
apply to notices to any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Article II if such
Lender or the 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 L/C Issuer or a 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
the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is

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

(d) Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Borrowers, Parent, the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent and the L/C Issuer may change its address,
telecopier or telephone number or electronic mail address for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other
Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number or electronic mail
address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to

 

129

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

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

(e) Reliance by Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Lenders. The Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any
notices (including telephonic or electronic notices, Committed Loan Notices and
Letter of Credit Applications) purportedly given by the Borrowers or on behalf
of the Borrowers by Parent 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 Borrowers and Parent shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related
Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities
resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by
the Borrowers or on behalf of the Borrowers by Parent. 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.

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

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan
Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested
exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such
enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the
Lenders and the L/C Issuer; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the
rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as
Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan

 

130

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

Documents, (b) the L/C Issuer from exercising the rights and remedies that inure
to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer) 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 2.12), 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 hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then
(i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the
matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and
subject to Section 2.12, 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.

10.04 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. Parent and the Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent and their Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and

negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the
provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated

expenses incurred by the L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment
thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative

charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, in connection with the
enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in
connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including
all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit; provided, that, in
the case of legal fees and expenses such reimbursement obligation shall be
limited to the fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Lenders and
their Affiliates, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, one local counsel in each
relevant jurisdiction (and, in the case of an actual or potential conflict of
interest, one additional counsel to the affected Lenders, taken as a whole).

(b) Indemnification by Parent and the Borrowers. Parent and the Borrowers shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent (and any sub-agent of
either of the foregoing), any Arranger, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and each
Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
“Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees,
charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, but limited to the
fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arranger(s), the L/C Issuer, the Lenders and
the Related Parties, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, of one local counsel
in any relevant jurisdiction (and in the case of

 

131

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

an actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional counsel to the
affected Lenders, taken as a whole)), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted
against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrowers or any other Loan
Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or
delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto
of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, or the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or in the case of the
Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only,
the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan
or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom
(including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a
Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do
not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual
or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property
owned or operated by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental
Liability related in any way to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any
actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to
any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory,
whether brought by a third party or by Parent or any other Loan Party, and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER
OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE,
CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE; provided that such indemnity
shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (y) arise
from claims of any of the Indemnitees solely against one or more Indemnitees
(other than claims by or against an Indemnitee in its capacity as Administrative
Agent, Collateral Agent, Arranger or other Agent) that have not resulted from
the action, inaction, participation or contribution of Parent, the Borrowers or
any Affiliates of the foregoing or any of their respective officers, directors,
stockholders, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives or advisors
or (z) result from a claim brought by any Borrower or any other Loan Party
against an Indemnitee for material breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s
obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Borrower or such
other Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on
such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This
Section 10.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that
represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason
fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of
this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent
thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each
Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such
sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount,
provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in
its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the

 

132

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

foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C
Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under
this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(d).

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

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

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the L/C Issuer, the
replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the
repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

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

 

133

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

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 (other than pursuant to a
transaction permitted by Section 7.04) none of the Borrowers nor any other Loan
Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each
Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the
provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in
accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by
way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions
of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or
transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than
the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,
Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to
the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including
for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations) at the
time owing to it); provided that

(i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the
case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved
Fund with respect to a Lender, 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 not be less than $5,000,000 unless each
of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, the Borrower Representative otherwise consents (each such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent
assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from
members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible
Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single
assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

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

 

134

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

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

(iv) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender
or an Approved Fund, the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld) shall be required for any assignment; provided
that, notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary,
Administrative Agent has no duty to, and shall not be liable to Borrowers, any
assignor or assignee Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates for any
failure to, inquire or otherwise verify whether or not such assignment is being
made to a Competitor, and Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation
to enforce any prohibition on such assignment;

(v) the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation
of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit
(whether or not then outstanding);

(vi) the parties (other than the Borrower Representative unless its consent to
such assignment is required hereunder) to each assignment shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption together with a
processing and recordation fee of $3,500; 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;

(vii) no such assignment shall be made (A) 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 (A), (B) 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) or (C) to Parent or
any Borrower or their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries; and

(viii) 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 Representative and the Administrative
Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not

 

135

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

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 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 in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any
Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without
compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such
interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this
Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a
party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under
this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with
respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such
assignment. Upon request, each of the Borrowers, as applicable (at their
expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment
or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does
not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement
as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in
accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an
agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall
maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the
Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof
from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, and Parent, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for
all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In
addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information
regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a
Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by each of
Parent, the Borrowers, the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Collateral Agent 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 Borrowers 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 any of its Subsidiaries, or

 

136

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

Parent or any Borrower or any of their respective 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)
owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement
shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the
L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each
Lender that sells a participation pursuant to this Section 10.06(d) shall
maintain a register on which it records the name and address of each participant
and the principal amounts of each participant’s participation interest with
respect to the Loans (each, a “Participant Register”). The entries in the
Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender
shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as
the owner of a participation with respect to the Loans for all purposes under
this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

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 Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and
limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.01(f) (it being
understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(f) shall be
delivered to the participating Lender)), 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 2.12 as though it were a
Lender.

(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 Representative’s prior written consent. A
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be
entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower Representative is
notified of the participation sold to such Participant and provided with all
information required to be included in the Register and such Participant agrees,
for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.01(f) as though it
were a Lender.

(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 another
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.

 

137

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

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

10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer
agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below),
except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and
its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents,
trustees, advisors and representatives, including any numbering, administration
or settlement service providers (it being understood that the Persons to whom
such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the
extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction
over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by
applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process,
(d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of
rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing
provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee
of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of
its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any actual or prospective
counterparty (or its advisors) to any Hedging Contract relating to either of the
Borrowers and such Borrower’s obligations or (iii) any direct, indirect, actual
or prospective counterparty (and its advisor(s)) to any credit support, swap,
derivative or securitization transaction related to the obligations under this
Agreement, (g) with the written consent of the Borrower Representative or (h) to
the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a
result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of
their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than
any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof.

 

138

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

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

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

10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates
is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Law and subject to the provisions of Section 2.12, to
set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other
obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C
Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the
Borrowers or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the
Borrowers or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of
whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the
Borrowers or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a
branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or
office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in
the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff,
(x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative
Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15
and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from
its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to
the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the
Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right
of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective
Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their
respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify
the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such
setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect the validity of such setoff and application.

 

139

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

The Administrative Agent hereby appoints each of the L/C Issuer and Lenders to
serve as its bailee to perfect the Administrative Agent’s Liens in any
Collateral in the possession of such L/C Issuer and Lender. L/C Issuer and each
Lender possessing any Collateral agrees to so act as bailee for the
Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. In
furtherance of the forgoing, L/C Issuer and each Lender acknowledges that
certain of the Loan Parties maintain deposit accounts, securities accounts and
commodities accounts with one or more of the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer
and Lenders (all such accounts maintained by Loan Parties with one or more of
the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Lenders being herein collectively
called the “Lender Party Accounts” and individually a “Lender Party Account”).
L/C Issuer and each Lender agrees to hold its Lender Party Accounts as bailee
for the Administrative Agent to perfect the security interest held for the
benefit of the L/C Issuer or a Lender therein. Prior to the receipt by L/C
Issuer or a Lender of notice from the Administrative Agent that it is exercising
exclusive control over any Lender Party Account (a “Notice of Exclusive
Control”), the Loan Parties are entitled to make withdrawals from the Lender
Party Accounts and make deposits into and give entitlement orders with respect
to the Lender Party Accounts. Once L/C Issuer or a Lender has a Notice of
Exclusive Control, which such notice shall not be given until an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall be the
only party entitled to make withdrawals from or otherwise give any entitlement
order or other direction with respect to the Lender Party Accounts. To the
extent not already occurring, L/C Issuer and each Lender agrees to transfer, in
immediately available funds by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent, the
amount of the collected funds credited to the deposit accounts which are Lender
Party Accounts held by such L/C Issuer or Lender, and deliver to the
Administrative Agent all moneys or instruments relating thereto or held therein
and any other Collateral at any time the Administrative Agent demands payment or
delivery thereof after a Notice of Exclusive Control has been delivered to such
L/C Issuer or Lender. Each Loan Party agrees that L/C Issuer and each Lender is
authorized to immediately deliver all the Collateral to the Administrative Agent
upon the L/C Issuer’s or Lender’s receipt of a Notice of Exclusive Control from
the Administrative Agent.

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,
L/C Issuer, 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 Borrowers. In
determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the
Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer 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.

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

 

140

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

relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when
the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when
taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by
telecopy or other electronic imaging means (e.g., “.pdf” or “.tiff”) shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

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

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 or the L/C Issuer,
as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the
extent not so limited.

10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04 or gives notice pursuant to Section 3.02, (b) the Borrowers are
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 a Defaulting Lender, (d) any Lender fails to consent (each, a “Non-Consenting
Lender”) to an election, consent, amendment, waiver or other modification to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires the consent of a greater
percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such election, consent,
amendment, waiver or other modification is otherwise consented to by the
Required Lenders, or (e) if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives
the Borrower Representative the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto,
then the Borrower Representative may, at its sole expense and effort, upon
notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to
assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan
Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may
be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(i) the Borrower Representative shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the
assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b) except in the case of an assignment
to another Lender, in which case the Administrative Agent shall waive the
assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

 

141

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

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to
the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the
Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) 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;

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

(v) in the case of any assignment from a Lender being a Non-Consenting Lender,
the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable election,
consent, amendment, waiver or other modification.

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 Representative to require such assignment
and delegation cease to apply.

10.19 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT
THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF

NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.

10.20 Restatement; Existing Credit Agreement; Reallocation.

(a) The parties hereto agree that this Agreement amends and restates the
Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety but does not novate or discharge the
Indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement, which is amended
and restated hereby, and under the promissory notes issued in connection with
the Existing Credit Agreement (which are replaced in full by the Notes issued
hereunder). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, from and after the
Restatement Date, (i) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall replace
the Existing Credit Agreement and the “Loan Documents” (as defined in the
Existing Credit Agreement) in their entirety and (ii) this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents shall be the only operative agreements in effect with
respect to the underlying indebtedness and other obligations.

(b) The Lenders party to the Existing Credit Agreement have agreed among
themselves to reallocate their respective Commitments (as defined in the

Date and after giving effect to such reallocation and adjustment of the
Commitments, the Commitments of each Lender shall be as set forth on Schedule
2.01 hereto and each Lender shall own its Applicable Percentage of the

of the Commitments. The Administrative Agent hereby waives the processing and

hereunder that immediately prior to giving effect hereto is a party to the
Existing Credit Agreement hereby waives any claim for increased costs it may
have pursuant to Section 3.04 of the Existing Credit Agreement arising as a
result of the reallocations of the Commitments contemplated by this
Section 10.20.
