(b)For purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.01, 7.02, 7.03, 7.05,
7.06 and 7.15 in the event that any Liens, Indebtedness, Investments,
Disposition, Restricted Payment, or prepayment of Indebtedness in a currency
other than Dollars, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have
occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of currency exchange occurring
after the time Holdings or one (1) of its Subsidiaries is contractually
obligated to incur, make or acquire such Indebtedness, Liens, Disposition,
Restricted Payment, Investments or prepayment of Indebtedness (so long as, at
the time of entering into the contract to incur, make or acquire such Liens,
Indebtedness, Investments, Disposition, Restricted Payment, or prepayment of
Indebtedness, it was permitted hereunder) and once contractually obligated to be
incurred, made or acquired, the amount of such Liens, Indebtedness, Investments,
Disposition, Restricted Payment, or prepayment of Indebtedness, shall be always
deemed to be at the Dollar amount on such date, regardless of later changes in
currency exchange rates.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (a) unless specifically stated
otherwise herein, any dollar, number, percentage or other amount available under
any carve-out, basket, exclusion or exception to any affirmative, negative or
other covenant in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be accumulated,
added, combined, aggregated or used together by any Loan Party and its
Subsidiaries without limitation for any purpose not prohibited hereby, and (b)
any action or event permitted by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents need
not be

48

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

 

permitted solely by reference to one (1) provision permitting such action or
event but may be permitted in part by one (1) such provision and in part by one
(1) or more other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

1.08Accounting for Acquisitions and Dispositions. With respect to any
Acquisition or Disposition, as applicable, consummated after the Restatement
Date, the following shall apply:

(a)For each of the four (4) periods of four (4) fiscal quarters ending next
following the date of any acquisition, Consolidated EBITDA shall include the

historical results of such Person or assets is reasonably available, without

(b)For each of the four (4) periods of four (4) fiscal quarters ending next
following the date of each acquisition, Consolidated Interest Charges shall
include the results of operations of the Person or assets so acquired determined
on a historical pro forma basis to the extent information in sufficient detail
concerning such historical results of such Person or assets is reasonably
available; provided, that, Consolidated Interest Charges shall be adjusted on a
historical pro forma basis to (i) eliminate interest expense accrued during such
period on any Indebtedness repaid in connection with such acquisition and (ii)
include interest expense on any Indebtedness (including Indebtedness hereunder)
incurred, acquired or assumed in connection with such acquisition (“Incremental
Debt”) calculated (x) as if all such Incremental Debt had been incurred as of
the first day of such four (4) fiscal quarter period and (y) at the following
interest rates: (I) for all periods subsequent to the date of the acquisition
and for Incremental Debt assumed or acquired in the acquisition and in effect
prior to the date of acquisition, at the actual rates of interest applicable
thereto, and (II) for all periods prior to the actual incurrence of such
Incremental Debt, at the average daily rate applicable to the Incremental Debt
during all periods subsequent to the date of the acquisition;

(c)For each of the four (4) periods of four (4) fiscal quarters ending next
following the date of any Disposition of a Subsidiary or all or substantially
all of the assets of a Subsidiary (other than if such Disposition is to Holdings
or another Subsidiary), (i) Consolidated EBITDA shall exclude the results of
operations of the Person or assets so disposed of on a historical pro forma
basis, and which amounts shall include only adjustments reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent; and

(d)For each of the four (4) periods of four (4) fiscal quarters ending next
following the date of any Disposition of a Subsidiary or all or substantially
all of the assets of a Subsidiary (other than if such Disposition is to Holdings
or another Subsidiary), Consolidated Interest Charges shall be adjusted on a
historical pro forma basis to eliminate interest expense accrued during such
period on (i) any Indebtedness repaid or assumed from the Subsidiary in
connection with such Disposition or (ii) if such Disposition is of all of the
Equity Interests of the Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary for
which neither the Borrowers nor any other Subsidiary is directly or indirectly
liable.

Revolving Credit Lender hereby sells and assigns on the Restatement Date to each
Revolving

49

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

 

Credit Lender, without recourse, representation or warranty (except as set forth
below), and each such Revolving Credit Lender hereby purchases and assumes on
the Restatement Date from each Revolving Credit Lender a percentage interest in
the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on the
Restatement Date upon the effectiveness of this Agreement as may be required to
reflect the allocation of Revolving Credit Commitments set forth on Schedule
2.01 of this Agreement as of the Restatement Date. The Revolving Credit Lenders
agree to make such inter- Revolving Credit Lender wire transfers as may be
required to give effect to the foregoing assignments and assumptions. With
respect to such Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans so
assigned, each Revolving Credit Lender makes no representation or warranty
whatsoever, except that it represents and warrants that it is the legal and
beneficial owner of the same, free and clear of any adverse claim.

ARTICLE II
THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

2.01The Loans. (a) The Revolving Credit Borrowings.  Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to
make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “Revolving Credit Loan”) to the
Borrowers from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period,
in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such
Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that after giving
effect to any Revolving Credit Borrowing, (i) the Total Revolving Credit
Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Facility, and (ii) the
Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed such Revolving Credit Lender’s
Revolving Credit Commitment.  Within the limits of each Revolving Credit
Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other terms and
conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01(c), prepay
under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(c).  Revolving Credit
Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided
herein.

(b)The Term A Borrowing.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
each Term A Lender severally agrees to make a single loan to the Borrowers on
the Restatement Date in Dollars in an amount not to exceed such Term A Lender’s
Term A Commitment Percentage of the Term A Facility.  The Term A Borrowing shall
consist of Term A Loans made simultaneously by the Term A Lenders in accordance
with their respective Applicable Percentage of the Term A Facility.  Amounts
borrowed under this Section 2.01(b) and repaid or prepaid may not be
reborrowed.  Term A Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as
further provided herein.

(c)Incremental Term Loans.  Subject to Section 2.15, as set forth in any
Increase Joinder or other Additional Credit Extension Amendment entered into
pursuant to Section 2.15, each Incremental Term Loan Lender party thereto
severally agrees to make its portion of a term loan (each, an “Incremental Term
Loan”) in a single advance to the Borrowers in Dollars in the amount of its
respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment as set forth in such Increase
Joinder or such other Additional Credit Extension Amendment.  Amounts repaid on
any Incremental Term Loan may not be reborrowed.  Each Incremental Term Loan may
be a Base Rate Loan or Eurodollar Rate Loan, as further provided herein.

50

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

 

2.02Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.  (a) Each Term A
Borrowing, each Revolving Credit Borrowing, each conversion of Term Loans or
Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrowers’ irrevocable notice to
the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone, or (B) a
Committed Loan Notice; provided that any telephone 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 10:00 a.m. (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the
requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar
Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and
(ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans.  Each Borrowing
of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess
thereof.  Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of
or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $100,000 or a
whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (other than in connection with the
initial advances hereunder on the Restatement Date).  Each Committed Loan Notice
shall specify (i) whether the Borrowers are requesting a Term A Borrowing, a
Revolving Credit Borrowing, a conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans
from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the
requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be
(which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be
borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to
which existing Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans are to be converted, and (v)
if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto.  If the
Borrowers fail to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the
Borrowers fail to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation,
then the applicable Term Loans or Revolving Credit 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 Borrowers request a
Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any
such Committed Loan Notice, but fail to specify an Interest Period, it will be
deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, a Swing Line Loan may not be converted to a
Eurodollar Rate Loan.

(b)Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage under the
applicable Facility of the applicable Term A Loans or Revolving Credit Loans,
and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of
any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in Section 2.02(a).  In
the case of a Term A Borrowing or a Revolving Credit Borrowing, each Appropriate
Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent
in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later
than 11:00 a.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 Borrowers
in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting
the account of the Borrowers on the books of Bank of America with the amount of
such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with
instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent
by the Borrowers; provided, however, that if, on the date a Committed Loan
Notice with respect to a Revolving Credit Borrowing is given by the Borrowers,
there are L/C

51

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

 

Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Borrowing,
first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and
second, shall be made available to the Borrowers as provided above.

(c)Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued
or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate
Loan.  During the existence of an Event of Default, after the election of the
Required Lenders, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as
Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(d)The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers 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 Borrowers 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 Term A Borrowings, all conversions of Term A Loans
from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term A Loans as the same
Type, there shall not be more than five (5) Interest Periods in effect in
respect of the Term A Facility.  After giving effect to all Revolving Credit
Borrowings, all conversions of Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the
other, and all continuations of Revolving Credit Loans as the same Type, there
shall not be more than five (5) Interest Periods in effect in respect of the
Revolving Credit Facility.

(f)Anything in this Section 2.02 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers
may select the Eurodollar Rate for the initial Credit Extension.

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

(h)Any Loan to a Dutch Borrower shall at all times be provided by a Lender that
is a Non-Public Lender.

2.03Letters of Credit.  (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the
Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time
on any Business Day during the period from the Restatement Date until the Letter
of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the
Borrowers or their Subsidiaries in Dollars, and to amend or extend Letters of
Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (2) to
honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Revolving Credit Lenders
severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of

after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of
Credit, (x) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the
Revolving Credit Facility, (y) the Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed
such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the
L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit.  Each request by
the Borrowers for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be
deemed

52

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

 

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 Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that
have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

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

(A)subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of the requested Letter of
Credit would occur more than twelve (12) months after the date of issuance or
last extension, unless the Required Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry
date; or

(B)the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur after the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless (x) all the Revolving Credit Lenders
and the L/C Issuer have approved such expiry date or (y) such Letter of Credit
is cash collateralized or backstopped on terms and pursuant to arrangements
reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer.

(ii)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 the
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 the
Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect
to the 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 Restatement Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss,
cost or expense which was not applicable on the Restatement Date and which the
L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

(B)the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one (1) 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,
the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $50,000;

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

(E)any Revolving Credit Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, 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

53

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

 

or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting
Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(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; or

(F)the Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of
the stated amount after any drawing thereunder.

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

(iv)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 the Letter of
Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of the
Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit.

(v)The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with
respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated
therewith, and 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; Auto-Extension
Letters of Credit.  Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the
case may be, upon the request of the Borrowers 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 each
of the Borrowers.  Such Letter of Credit Application may be sent by facsimile,
by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using
the system provided by the L/C Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other
means acceptable to the L/C Issuer.  Such Letter of Credit Application must be
received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 8:00 a.m.
at least two (2) Business Days (or such later date and time as the
Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in
their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment,
as the case may be.  In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a
Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and
detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer:  (A) the proposed issuance date of the
requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount
thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the
beneficiary thereof; (E) the 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 (1) the
Letter

54

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

 

of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall
be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other
matters as the L/C Issuer may require.  Additionally, the Borrowers shall
furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and
information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment,
including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent
may reasonably require.

(i)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 Borrowers 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 Revolving Credit Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at
least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment
of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one (1) 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 Borrowers (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
Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit
Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage times the amount of such Letter
of Credit.

(ii)If the Borrowers so request in any applicable Letter of Credit Application,
the L/C Issuer may, in its 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- (12-) 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- (12-) 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 Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized
(but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of
Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any
such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be
permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of
Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of
the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B)
it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before
the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1)
from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Lenders have elected
not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving
Credit Lender or the Borrowers that one (1) or more of the applicable

55

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

 

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.

(iii)If the Borrowers so request in any applicable Letter of Credit Application,
the L/C Issuer may, in its 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 Revolving Credit 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 (7) Business Days
before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline (A) from the Administrative Agent that the
Required Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such reinstatement or (B)
from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrowers that one (1) 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.

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

(c)Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.  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 Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent thereof.  Not later than 8:00 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 Borrowers shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative
Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing.  If the Borrowers fail
to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of
the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such
Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof.  In
such event, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit
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 Revolving Credit
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;

56

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

 

provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the
conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(i)Each Revolving Credit Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section
2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash
Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the L/C Issuer at the
Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving
Credit Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 10:00 a.m. on the
Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon,
subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender
that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to
the Borrowers in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so
received to the L/C Issuer.

(ii)With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a
Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth
in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrowers 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 Revolving Credit 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.

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

(iv)Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or
L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of
Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may
have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other
occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;
provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make
Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrowers of a
Committed Loan Notice).  No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or
otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers 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.

(v)If any Revolving Credit 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

57

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

 

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 Committed Loan Notice 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 Revolving Credit Lender (through
the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section
2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Repayment of Participations.  At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a
payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Credit
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 otherwise, including proceeds of
Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative
Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage
thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(i)If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the
L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any
of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving
Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C
Issuer its Applicable Revolving Credit 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 Borrowers to reimburse the L/C
Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C
Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances,
including the following:

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

(ii)the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right
that the Borrowers or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any
beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom
any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or
any other Person, whether in connection

58

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

(f)Role of L/C Issuer.  Each Lender and the 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 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 Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Revolving
Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross

59

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

 

negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness,
validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter
of Credit or Issuer Document.  The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts
or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to their use of any
Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to,
and shall not, preclude the Borrowers’ pursuing such rights and remedies as they
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 (viii) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything
in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim
against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrowers, to
the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential
or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrowers which the Borrowers prove 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.  The L/C Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication
to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial
Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other
commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

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

(h)Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its
Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of
Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the
daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  For purposes of
computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the
amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section
1.06.  Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) 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)

60

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

 

computed on a quarterly basis in arrears.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Revolving 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 Borrowers shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account
a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum
specified in the Agent Fee Letter, 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 (10th) 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 Borrowers 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, the Borrowers shall be obligated to
reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of
Credit.  The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that the issuance of Letters of Credit
for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrowers, and that
the Borrowers’ business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such
Subsidiaries.

2.04Swing Line Loans.  (a) The Swing Line.  Subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the
other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, may in its sole discretion make
loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrowers from time to time
on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to
exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit,
notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the
Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving
Credit Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may
exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided,
however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total
Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Facility at
such time, and (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Revolving Credit Lender
shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, (y) the Borrowers
shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding
Swing Line Loan, and (z) the Swing Line Lender shall not be under any obligation
to make any Swing Line Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be
conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by such Credit
Extension may have, Fronting Exposure.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject
to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this
Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section
2.04.  Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest only

61

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

 

at a rate based on the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for the Revolving
Credit Facility.  Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each
Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk
participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such
Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage times the
amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b)Borrowing Procedures.  Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the
Borrowers’ irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative
Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) by a Swing Line Loan Notice;
provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to
the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a Swing Line Loan
Notice.  Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the
Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. on the requested borrowing date,
and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of
$100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business
Day.  Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any Swing Line Loan
Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by
telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such
Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents
thereof.  Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in
writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any
Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date of the proposed Swing
Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line
Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first
sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one (1) or more of the applicable
conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 12:00
p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the
amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrowers at their offices by
crediting the account of the Borrowers on the books of the Swing Line Lender in
immediately available funds.

(c)Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

(i)The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may
request, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit
Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable
Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then
outstanding.  Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall
be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance
with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and
multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but
subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Facility and the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02.  The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the
Borrowers with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after
delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent.  Each Revolving Credit
Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage
of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the
Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative
Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing
Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative
Agent’s

62

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

 

Office not later than 11:00 a.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan
Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Credit Lender
that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to
the Borrowers in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so
received to the Swing Line Lender.

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

(iii)If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount
required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line
Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the
Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the
period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment
is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to
the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line
Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus
any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing
Line Lender in connection with the foregoing.  If such Lender pays such amount
(with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such
Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Loan Notice or funded
participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be.  A
certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii)
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv)Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or
to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by
any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the
Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or
continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each
Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to
this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.  No
such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the
obligation of the Borrowers to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as
provided herein.

(d)Repayment of Participations.

(i)At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk
participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any
payment on

63

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

 

account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such
Revolving Credit Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof in
the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii)If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or
interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line
Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including
pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its
discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its
Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative
Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such
amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate.  The
Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line
Lender.  The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the
payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

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

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

2.05Prepayments.

(a)Optional.

(i)Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.05(a)(i), the Borrowers may,
upon notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to delivery to the
Administrative Agent of a Notice of Loan Prepayment, at any time or from time to
time voluntarily prepay Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in
part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be in a form
acceptable to the Administrative Agent and be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 8:00 a.m. (1) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of
prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (2) on the date of prepayment of Base
Rate Loans; (B) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal
amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; and (C)
any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $100,000 or
a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the
entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.  Each such notice shall
specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be
prepaid 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 ratable portion
of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of
the relevant Facility).  If such notice is given by the Borrowers, the Borrowers
shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall
be due

64

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

 

and payable on the date specified therein; provided that notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Holdings may rescind any
notice of prepayment under this Section 2.05 if such prepayment is conditioned
on the occurrence of an event, which event shall not be consummated or shall
otherwise be delayed.  Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be
accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any
additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.  Each prepayment of the
outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied to the
Term A Facility and to the principal repayment installments thereof as directed
by the Borrower, and subject to Section 2.17, each such prepayment shall be paid
to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in
respect of each of the relevant Facilities.

(ii)The Borrowers may, upon notice to the Swingline Lender pursuant to delivery
to the Swingline Lender of a Notice of Loan Prepayment (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay
Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that
(A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative
Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such
prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000.  Each such notice
shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment.  If such notice is given
by the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment
amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified
therein.

(b)Mandatory.

(i)Beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018, within ten (10)
Business Days after financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section
6.01(a) and the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to
Section 6.02(b), the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of
Loans equal to (I) the excess (if any) of the ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow

(ii)If any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries Disposes of any property
pursuant to Section 7.05(f) or (p) or pursuant to a transaction not otherwise

prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of such Net Cash
Proceeds within five (5) Business Days receipt thereof by such Person (such
prepayments to be applied as set forth in clauses (vi) and (ix) below);
provided, however, that, with respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized under a
Disposition described in this Section 2.05(b)(ii), at the election of the
Borrowers (as notified by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent on or prior
to the date of such Disposition), and so long as no Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, such Loan Party or such Subsidiary may reinvest all or any
portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in

65

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

receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or, within such two hundred seventy- (270-)
day period, such Loan Party or such Subsidiary enters into a binding commitment
to so reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds, and such Net Cash Proceeds are so
reinvested within ninety (90) days after the expiration of such two hundred
seventy- (270-) day period), such purchase shall have been consummated (as
certified by the Borrowers in writing to the Administrative Agent); and provided
further, however, that any Net Cash Proceeds not subject to such definitive
agreement or so reinvested shall be immediately applied to the prepayment of the
Loans as set forth in this Section 2.05(b)(ii).

(iii)[Intentionally Omitted].

(iv)Upon the incurrence or issuance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries
of any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness expressly permitted to be incurred

account of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, and not otherwise included
in clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 2.05(b), the Borrowers shall
prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash

Subsidiary (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clauses (vi) and (ix)
below); provided, however, that with respect to any proceeds of a
Casualty/Condemnation Receipt, at the election of the Borrowers (as notified by
the Borrowers 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 Borrowers shall not be required to prepay Loans hereunder in
respect of such Net Cash Proceeds to the extent such Loan Party or such
Subsidiary reinvests all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets used
or useful in the business of such Loan Party or its Subsidiaries within two
hundred seventy (270) days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or,
within such two hundred seventy- (270-) day period, such Loan Party or such
Subsidiary enters into a binding commitment to so reinvest such Net Cash
Proceeds, and such Net Cash Proceeds are so reinvested within ninety (90) days
after the expiration of such two hundred seventy- (270-) day period); and
provided, further, however, that any cash proceeds not so applied shall be
immediately applied to the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in this Section
2.05(b)(v).

(vi)Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.05(b) shall be applied, first, to the next four (4) principal
repayment installments under the Term A Facility in direct order of maturity,
second, to the remaining principal repayment installments under the Term A
Facility (other than the final scheduled installment due on the Maturity Date)
on a pro rata basis and, third, to the Revolving Credit Facility in the manner
set forth in clause (ix) of this Section 2.05(b).

66

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

 

(vii)Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05(b), (i) to the
extent that any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a
Non-Guarantor Subsidiary (a “Non-Guarantor Disposition”), the Net Cash Proceeds
of any Casualty/Condemnation Receipt from a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary (a
“Non-Guarantor Recovery Event”), or Excess Cash Flow attributable to any
Non-Guarantor Subsidiary is prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from
being repatriated to the applicable Borrowers, an amount equal to the portion of
such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to
prepay Loans and, instead, such amounts may be retained so long, but only so
long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the applicable
Borrowers (the Borrowers hereby agree to cause the applicable Non-Guarantor
Subsidiary to use commercially reasonable efforts to take actions required by
the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such
repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is
permitted under the applicable local law, an amount equal to such Net Cash
Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than
two (2) Business Days after such repatriation) be offered to be applied (net of
additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the
prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) to the extent provided
herein and (ii) to the extent that the Borrowers have determined in good faith
that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Non-Guarantor
Disposition, any Non-Guarantor Recovery Event or attributed Excess Cash Flow
would have a material adverse tax cost consequence (after Holdings, the
Borrowers and/or the applicable Non-Guarantor Subsidiary have used commercially
reasonable efforts to take actions to reduce such tax consequences and after
taking into account available foreign tax credits) with respect to such Net Cash
Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess
Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Non-Guarantor
Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of this clause (ii) on or before that
date on which any such Net Cash Proceed or Excess Cash Flow so retained would
otherwise have been required to be applied to prepayments pursuant to Section
2.05, the Borrowers may apply an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or
Excess Cash Flow to such prepayments as if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash
Flow has been received by the Borrowers (net of additional taxes that would be
payable had such amounts actually been repatriated).

(viii)If for any reason the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings at any time
exceed the Revolving Credit Facility at such time, the Borrowers shall
immediately prepay Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Borrowings
and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (other than the L/C Borrowings) in
an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(ix)Prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility made pursuant to this Section
2.05(b), first, shall be applied ratably to the L/C Borrowings and the Swing
Line Loans, second, shall be applied ratably to the outstanding Revolving Credit
Loans (without a corresponding reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments),
and, third, shall be used to Cash Collateralize the remaining L/C
Obligations.  Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit that has been Cash
Collateralized, the funds held as Cash Collateral shall be applied (without any
further action by or notice to or from the Borrowers or any other Loan Party) to
reimburse the L/C Issuer or the Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable.

67

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

 

(x)Upon the receipt by any Loan Party of the proceeds of any Specified Equity
Contribution pursuant to Section 8.04, such Loan Party shall promptly prepay the
Term Loans with such proceeds which will be applied in accordance with Section
2.05(a)(i).

2.06Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a)Optional.  The Borrowers may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent,
terminate the Revolving Credit Facility, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the
Swing Line Sublimit, or from time to time permanently reduce the Revolving
Credit Facility, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit;
provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent
not later than 8:00 a.m. one (1) Business Day prior to the date of termination
or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of
$1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof and (iii) the
Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce (A) the Revolving Credit Facility if,
after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the
Total Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Credit Facility,
(B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto, the
Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations not fully Cash Collateralized hereunder
would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, or (C) the Swing Line Sublimit if,
after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the
Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans would exceed the Letter of Credit
Sublimit.

(b)Mandatory.  The aggregate Term A Commitments shall be automatically and
permanently reduced to zero (0) on the date of the Term A Borrowing.

(c)Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees.  The Administrative
Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the
Letter of Credit Sublimit, Swing Line Sublimit or the Revolving Credit
Commitment under this Section 2.06.  Upon any reduction of the Revolving Credit
Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender
shall be reduced by such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of such
reduction amount.  All fees in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility accrued
until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Credit Facility
shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

2.07Repayment of Loans.

(a)Term A Loans.  The Borrowers shall repay to the Term A Lenders the aggregate
principal amount of all Term A Loans outstanding on the following dates in the
respective amounts set forth opposite such dates (which amounts shall be reduced
as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of
priority set forth in Section 2.05):

provided, however, that the final principal repayment installment of the Term A
Loans shall be repaid on the Maturity Date for the Term A Facility and in any
event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Term
A Loans outstanding on such date.

(b)Revolving Credit Loans.  The Borrowers shall repay to the Revolving Credit
Lenders on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility the aggregate
principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date.

(c)Swing Line Loans.  The Borrowers shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the
earlier to occur of (i) the date ten (10) Business Days after such Loan is made
and (ii) the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility.

2.08Interest.  (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), (i) each
Eurodollar Rate Loan under a Facility 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 for such
Facility; (ii) each Base Rate Loan under a Facility 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 for such
Facility; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for the Revolving Credit
Facility.  To the extent that any calculation of interest or any fee required to
be paid under this Agreement shall be based on (or result in) a rate that is
less than zero (0), such rate shall be deemed zero (0) for purposes of this
Agreement.

(b)(i)  If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without
regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a
fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(ii)If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrowers
under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable
grace

69

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

 

periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon
the request of the Required Lenders such amount shall thereafter bear interest
at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(iii)Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists
(other than as set forth in Sections 2.08(b)(i) and (b)(ii) above), the
Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding
Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times
equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

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

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

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

(a)Commitment Fee.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Applicable
Revolving Credit Percentage, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate times
the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Facility exceeds the sum
of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) the Outstanding
Amount of L/C Obligations, subject to adjustment as provided in Section
2.17.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans
shall not be counted towards or considered usage of the Aggregate Commitments
for purposes of determining the Commitment Fee.  The commitment fee shall accrue
at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which
one (1) 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
Restatement Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period for the
Revolving Credit Facility.

(b)Other Fees.

(i)The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, Arrangers, Lenders and
Affiliates thereof for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at
the times specified in the Agent Fee Letter.  Such fees shall be fully earned
when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.10Computation of Interest and Fees.  All computations of interest for Base
Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurodollar
Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) or
three hundred sixty-six (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 three hundred sixty (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 three hundred sixty-five- (365-) day year).  Interest shall accrue on
each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made,

70

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

 

and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the
Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same
day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one
(1) 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.

2.11Evidence of Debt. (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be
evidenced by one (1) or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and
by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business.  The accounts or
records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be
conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by
the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest, principal 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 Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in
addition to such accounts or records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to its
Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of
its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b)In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each
Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender
of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans.  In the event of
any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative
Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the
accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of
manifest error.

2.12Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a)General.  All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made free and
clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense,
recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, 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 11:00 a.m. on the date specified herein.  The Administrative Agent
will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage in respect of
the relevant Facility (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 11:00 a.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 on computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b)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

71

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

 

Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base
Rate Loans, prior to 9:00 a.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 Borrowers a corresponding
amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the
applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable
Lender and the Borrowers 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 Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender,
the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily
charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in
the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable
to Base Rate Loans.  If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to
the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such
interest paid by the Borrowers for such period.  If such Lender pays its share
of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid
shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by
the Borrowers 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.

(i)Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.  Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers 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 the Borrowers will not make such
payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such
payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made
such payment, then each of the Appropriate 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 Borrowers 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 Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the
conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article

72

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

 

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.

(d)Obligations of Lenders Several.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to
make Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans, to fund participations in Letters of
Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c)
are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund
any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date
required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding
obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation
or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).

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

(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.

2.13Sharing of Payments by Lenders.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any
right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a)
Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the
proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender
at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to
all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of
payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at
such time or (b) Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its
ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations
owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the
aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all
Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Parties at such time) of payment on
account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the
Lenders at such time then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a)
notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face
value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and
Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall
be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations then due
and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as
the case may be, provided that:

(i)if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any
portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or

73

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

 

subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the
extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii)the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) 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 2.16, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender
as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any
assignee or participant, other than an assignment to Holdings, the Borrowers,
any Subsidiary, or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this
Section shall apply).

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

2.14Extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments.  (a)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one (1)
or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the
Borrowers to all Term Lenders of any Class of Term Loans or any Class of
Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans or Revolving
Credit Commitments of the applicable Class) and on the same terms to each such
Lender, the Borrowers are hereby permitted to consummate from time to time
transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such
Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Term Loans
and/or Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class and otherwise modify
the terms of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to the
terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by
changing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or
Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the
amortization schedule in respect of such Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”) and
each group of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, in each
case as so extended, as well as the original Term Loans and the original
Revolving Credit Commitments (in each case not so extended), being a separate
Class of Term Loans from the Class of Term Loans from which they were converted,
and any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (as defined below) shall
constitute a separate Class of Revolving Credit Commitments from the Class of
Revolving Credit Commitments from which they were converted, it being understood
that an Extension may be in the form of an increase in the amount of any other
then outstanding Class of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments otherwise
satisfying the criteria set forth below, so long as the following terms are
satisfied:

(i)except as to interest rates, fees and final maturity (which shall be
determined by the Borrowers and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the
Revolving Credit Commitment of any Revolving Credit Lender that agrees to an
extension with respect to such Revolving Credit Commitment extended pursuant to
an Extension (“Extended Revolving Credit Commitments”), and the related
outstandings, shall be a Revolving

74

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

 

Credit Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same
terms as the original Class of Revolving Credit Commitments (and related
outstandings); provided that at no time shall there be Revolving Credit
Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and any
original Revolving Credit Commitments) which have more than two (2) different
maturity dates;

(ii)except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date,
premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which
shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iii), (iv) and (v), be
determined by the Borrowers and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the
Term Loans of any Lender (an “Extending Term Lender”) extended pursuant to any
Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the Class of Term
Loans subject to such Extension Offer (except for covenants or other provisions
contained therein applicable only to periods after the then latest Maturity Date
of any Class of Term Loans hereunder or, to the extent such Classes of Term
Loans are later prepaid, the period after such prepayment);

(iii)the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than
the final maturity date of the Class of Term Loans subject to such Extension
Offer and the amortization schedule applicable to Term Loans pursuant to Section
2.07 for periods prior to such final maturity date of the Term Loans subject to
such Extension Offer may not be increased;

(iv)the weighted average life to maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no
shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans
extended thereby;

(v)any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than
pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or
mandatory prepayments hereunder, as specified in the applicable Extension Offer;

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

(vii)the establishment of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be
accompanied by a reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments in at least the
amount of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that any
reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments may, at the option of the
Borrowers, be directed to a

75

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

 

disproportional reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Lender
providing an Extended Revolving Credit Commitment;

(viii)all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with
the foregoing and otherwise acceptable to the Administrative Agent; and

(ix)any applicable minimum extension condition required by the Borrowers shall
be satisfied unless waived by the Borrowers.

(b)With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrowers pursuant to
Section 2.17(a), (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory
payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.05 and (ii) there shall be not
more than five (5) Classes of Extended Term Loans outstanding at any time.  The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions
contemplated by this Section 2.17 (including, for the avoidance of doubt,
payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans
and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on the such terms as may be set
forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any
provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.05, 2.12
and 2.13) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such
Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.17.

(c)No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to
effectuate any Extension, other than (i) the consent of each Lender agreeing to
such Extension with respect to one (1) or more of its Term Loans and/or
Revolving Credit Commitments (or a portion thereof) and (ii) with respect to any
Extension of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, the consent of the L/C
Issuer and Swing Line Lender (if such L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender is being
requested to issue letters of credit or make swing line loans with respect to
the Class of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments).  The Lenders hereby
irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into an Additional
Credit Extension Amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with
the Borrowers and the other applicable Loan Parties as may be necessary in order
to establish new Classes in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments or Term
Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or
appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent in connection
with the establishment of such new Classes, in each case on terms consistent
with this Section 2.17.

(d)In connection with any Extension, the Borrowers shall provide the
Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as
may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and
shall agree to such procedures (including, without limitation, regarding timing,
rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative
management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as
may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case
acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.14.

(e)This Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.13 or 10.01 to the
contrary.  Notwithstanding any language to the contrary, no Lender’s Commitments
may be extended without such Lender’s consent and any such decision whether to
extend its Term Loan or Revolving Credit Commitment shall be in such Lender’s
sole and absolute discretion.

76

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

 

2.15Increase in Commitments.

(a)Request for Increase.  The Borrowers may by written notice to the
Administrative Agent on not more than four (4) occasions elect to request (x)
prior to the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility, an increase to the
existing Revolving Credit Commitments (each, an “Incremental Revolving Credit
Commitment”) and/or (y) prior to the Maturity Date for the Term A Loans, the
establishment of one (1) or more new term loan commitments for an additional
Class of term loans or as an increase to an existing Class of Term Loans (each,
an “Incremental Term Commitment”), by an aggregate amount not in excess of
$100,000,000; provided that no more than $25,000,000 of such amount may be
Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments. Each Incremental Commitment shall be
in a minimum amount of $5,000,000. At the time of sending such notice, the
Borrowers (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 or such shorter period as the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent
may agree).

(b)Lender Elections to Increase.  Each Lender may elect or decline, in its sole
discretion, to provide any Incremental Commitment and shall notify the
Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to provide
any Incremental Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater
than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested Incremental
Commitment.  Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed
to have declined to provide such Incremental Commitment.

(c)Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders.  The Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrowers and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to
each request made hereunder.  To the extent the Lenders have not agreed to
provide Incremental Commitments in an amount sufficient to provide the full
amount of the requested Incremental Commitments, subject to the approval of the
Administrative Agent, and, in connection with any Incremental Revolving Credit
Commitment, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not
be unreasonably withheld), the Borrowers may also invite additional Eligible
Assignees to become Lenders in order to provide, together with the existing
Lenders providing Incremental Commitments, the aggregate requested Incremental
Commitments.  In order to become a Lender, each such additional Eligible
Assignee shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a joinder
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its
counsel (the “Increase Joinder”).  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
10.01, the Increase Joinder or other related Additional Credit Extension
Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments
to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or
appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect
the provisions of this Section 2.15.

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

77

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

 

(e)Conditions to Effectiveness of Incremental Commitments.  The Incremental
Commitments shall become effective as of the Increase Effective Date; provided
that the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of
each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies
for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (i)
certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or
consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, certifying
that, before and after giving effect to such increase and the use of proceeds
thereof (and assuming, in the case of an Incremental Revolving Credit
Commitments, that the entire amount of such increase is funded), each of the
following are satisfied: (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 2.15, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a)
and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements
furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, (B) no
Default exists, and (C) as of the last day of the most recent period for which
financial statements have been furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b),
respectively, of Section 6.01, the Borrowers are in pro forma compliance with
the covenant set forth in Section 7.11(a) (assuming for purposes of such
calculation that (i) the full committed amount of any increase to the Revolving
Credit Commitments shall be treated as outstanding for such purpose and (ii)
cash proceeds of any such increase shall not be netted from Indebtedness for
purposes of calculating compliance with the Consolidated Leverage Ratio);
provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, solely to the extent the proceeds
from an Incremental Term Commitment are incurred to fund a Permitted
Acquisition, compliance with the forgoing clauses (B) and (C) of this subsection
(e) shall only be required to be satisfied as of the time of entering into of
the definitive acquisition agreement governing such Permitted Acquisition so
long as the proceeds of such Incremental Term Loan are intended to and are used
to substantially contemporaneously fund all or a portion of the consideration
for a Permitted Acquisition consummated within ninety (90) days after the date
of execution of the acquisition agreement related thereto and assuming that such
Permitted Acquisition is consummated substantially in accordance with the terms
of such acquisition agreement (giving effect to any amendments that, taken as a
whole, would not be materially adverse to the Lenders).

(f)Adjustment of Revolving Credit Loans.  To the extent the Commitments being
increased on the relevant Increase Effective Date are Incremental Revolving
Credit Commitments, then, on such Increase Effective Date, (i) each relevant
Revolving Credit Lender that is increasing its Revolving Credit Commitment shall
make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available
funds as such Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other
relevant Revolving Credit Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after
giving effect to such increase and the application of such amounts to make
payments to such other relevant Revolving Credit Lenders, the outstanding
Revolving Credit Loans (and risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans
and Letter of Credit Exposure) to be held ratably by all Revolving Credit
Lenders in accordance with their respective revised Applicable Revolving Credit
Percentages, (ii) the Borrowers shall be deemed to have prepaid and reborrowed
the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans as of such Increase Effective Date to the
extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans ratable with any
revised Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages arising from any nonratable
increase in the Revolving Commitments under this

78

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

 

Section 2.15, and (iii) the Borrowers shall pay to the relevant Revolving Credit
Lenders the amounts, if any, required pursuant to Section 3.05 as a result of
such prepayment.

(g)Terms of New Loans and Commitments.  The terms and provisions of Loans made
pursuant to Incremental Commitments shall be as follows:

(i)terms and provisions of Incremental Term Loans shall be, except as otherwise
set forth herein, in the Increase Joinder or other related Additional Credit
Extension Amendment, identical to the Term A Loans (it being understood that
Incremental Term Loans may be a part of the Term A Loans) and to the extent that
the terms and provisions of Incremental Term Loans are not identical to the Term
A Loans (except to the extent permitted by clause 2.15(g)(iii)(iii), (iv), (v)
or (vi) below) they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent; provided that in any event the Incremental Term Loans must comply with
clause 2.15(g)(iii)(iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) below;

(ii)the terms and provisions of Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to new
Commitments shall be identical to the Revolving Credit Loans;

(iii)the scheduled principal amortization payments under each Incremental Term
Loan shall be as set forth in the related Increase Joinder or other related
Additional Credit Extension Amendment; provided that the weighted average life
to maturity of each Incremental Term Loan shall not be less than the remaining
weighted average life to maturity of the then existing Term A Loans;

(iv)the maturity date of each Incremental Term Loan shall be as set forth in the
Increase Joinder or other Additional Credit Extension Amendment; provided that
such date shall not be earlier than the Maturity Date for the Term A Loans;

(v)the Applicable Rate, fees and amortization schedule applicable to Incremental
Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrowers and the Lenders of the
Incremental Term Loans and set forth in the related Increase Joinder or other
related Additional Credit Extension Amendment; provided, that the Yield
applicable to any Incremental Term Commitment will not be more than 0.50% higher
than the corresponding Yield for the existing Term A Loan unless the interest
rate margin with respect to the existing Term A Loan is increased by an amount
equal to the difference between the Yield with respect to the Incremental Term
Commitment and the corresponding Yield on the existing Term Loan minus 0.50%;

(vi)any Incremental Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less
than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary
or mandatory prepayments hereunder (whether by acceleration or otherwise), as
specified in the Increase Joinder or other Additional Credit Extension
Amendment; and

(vii)Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed revised to reflect the commitments and
commitment percentages of the Incremental Term Loan Lenders as set forth in the
Increase Joinder or other Additional Credit Extension Amendment.

79

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

 

(h)Equal and Ratable Benefit.  The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to
this paragraph shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be
entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and
ratably from the Guaranty, except that the new Loans may be subordinated in
right of payment to the extent set forth in the Increase Joinder.

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

2.16Cash Collateral.

(a)Certain Credit Support Events.  If (i) the L/C Issuer has honored any full or
partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted
in an L/C Borrowing, (ii) as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C
Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, (iii) the Borrowers shall be
required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 8.02(c), or (iv) there
shall exist a Defaulting Lender, the Borrowers shall immediately (in the case of
clause (iii) above) or within one (1) Business Day (in all other cases),
following any request by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, provide
Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral
Amount (determined in the Case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause
(iv) above, after giving effect to Section 2.18 (a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral
provided by the Defaulting Lender).  If at any time the Administrative Agent
determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or
claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or that the total amount
of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations, the Borrowers will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative
Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as
Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate Outstanding
Amount over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral
that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right
and claim.  Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on
deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted
under applicable Laws, to reimburse the L/C Issuer.

(b)Grant of Security Interest.  The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any
Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the
control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority
security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein,
and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all
proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such
Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.16(c).  If at any time the
Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or
claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer as
herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than
the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the
Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash
Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.  All Cash
Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit)
shall be maintained in one (1) or more Cash Collateral Accounts at Bank of
America.  The Borrowers shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all
customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in
connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.

80

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

 

(c)Application.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.16 or Sections
2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.17 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line
Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C
Obligations, Swing Line Loans, 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 to secure other obligations shall be released
promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or
other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of
Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its
assignee following compliance with Section 10.06(b)(vi))) or (ii) the
determination by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer that there exists
excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) any such release shall be without
prejudice to, and any disbursement or other transfer of Cash Collateral shall be
and remain subject to, any other Lien conferred under the Loan Documents and the
other applicable provisions of the Loan Documents, and (y) the Person providing
Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be
released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or
other obligations.

2.17Defaulting 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.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall
be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01 and in the definition of “Required
Lender”.

(ii)Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or
other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to
Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a
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 owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative
Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing
by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder;
third, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to
such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.16; fourth, as the Borrowers
may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding
of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its
portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the
Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and
the Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to
(x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with
respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the L/C
Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with
respect to

81

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

 

future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section
2.16; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer
or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender
against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of
its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of
Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result
of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers
against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of
its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or
as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x)
such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings
in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate
share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued
at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or
waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C
Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to
being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such
Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded
participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders
pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to
Section 2.17(a)(iv).  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable
to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a
Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section
2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender,
and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)Certain Fees.

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

(B)Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for
any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent
allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit
for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.16.

(C)With respect to any fee payable under Section 2.09(a) or (b) or any Letter of
Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause
(A) or (B) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that
portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect
to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans
that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv)
below, (y) pay to the L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the
amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent
allocable to such L/C Issuer’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such
Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any
such fee.

82

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

 

(iv)Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or
any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing
Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance
with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such
Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation
does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting
Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.  Subject to Section
11.22, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any
claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that
Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a
Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased
exposure following such reallocation.

(v)Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans.  If the reallocation
described in clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected,
the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it
hereunder or under applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an
amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash
Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 2.16.

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

2.18Joint and Several.  The Obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents are joint and several.  Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing:

(a)Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary
notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Borrower hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed
by such Borrower under applicable foreign, federal and state Laws relating to
the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution
established in clause (b) below);

(b)Each Borrower hereby agrees that to the extent that a Borrower shall have
paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such
Borrower shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any
other Borrower hereunder which has not

83

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

 

paid its proportionate share of such payment.  Each Borrower’s right of
contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of clause (c)
below.  The provisions of this clause (b) shall in no respect limit the
obligations and liabilities of any Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, and each Borrower shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders for the full amount borrowed by such Borrower hereunder.

(c)Notwithstanding any payment made by any Borrower hereunder or any set-off or
application of funds of any Borrower by the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
no Borrower shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender against any other Borrower or any collateral
security or guaranty or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Borrower seek or be
entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any other Borrower in
respect of payments made by such Borrower hereunder, until all of the
Obligations are paid in full.  If any amount shall be paid to any Borrower on
account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall
not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Borrower in trust
for the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Borrower, and shall,
forthwith upon receipt by such Borrower, be turned over to the Administrative
Agent in the exact form received by such Borrower (duly indorsed by such
Borrower, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured
or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.

2.19Borrower Representative.  Each Borrower hereby designates and appoints Ichor
Systems (the “Borrower Representative”) as its representative and agent on its
behalf for the purposes of issuing Committed Loan Notices (each such notice to
be submitted as soon as practicable after receipt of a request to do so by a
Borrower), delivering certificates (including Compliance Certificates), giving
instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans,
giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of
the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of
compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower or the Borrowers under the
Loan Documents.  The Borrower Representative hereby accepts such
appointment.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may regard any notice or
other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from the Borrower
Representative as a notice or communication from all Borrowers.  Each warranty,
covenant, agreement and undertaking made on behalf of a Borrower by the Borrower
Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such
Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the
same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.

2.20Designated Lenders.  Each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the
Swingline Lender and each Lender at its option may make any Credit Extension or
otherwise perform its obligations hereunder through any Lending Office (each, a
“Designated Lender”); provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect
the obligation of such Borrowers to repay any Credit Extension in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.  Any Designated Lender shall be considered a
Lender; provided that in the case of an Affiliate or branch of a Lender, all
provisions applicable to a Lender that would be applicable with respect to
Credit Extensions actually provided by such Affiliate or branch of such Lender
shall apply to such Affiliate or branch of such Lender to the same extent as
such Lender; provided that for the purposes only of voting in

84

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

 

connection with any Loan Document, any participation by any Designated Lender in
any outstanding Credit Extension shall be deemed a participation of such Lender.

2.21Financial Statement Adjustments or Restatements. If, as a result of any
restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrowers
and their Subsidiaries or for any other reason, the Borrowers, or the Lenders
determine that (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower
as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the
Consolidated Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such
period, the Borrowers 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 any of 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 for such period over the amount of interest and
fees actually paid for such period.  This paragraph shall not limit the rights
of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
under any provision of this Agreement to payment of any Obligations hereunder at
the Default Rate or under Article VIII.  The Borrowers’ obligations under this
paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the
repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01Taxes.

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

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

(ii)If any Loan Party 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 Loan Party or
the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are
determined by such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to be required based
upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection
(e) below, as applicable, (B) such Loan Party 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, the sum
payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that
after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to

85

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

 

additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
withholding or deduction been made.

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

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

(c)Tax Indemnifications.  (i) Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby,
jointly and severally, indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in
respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount
of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) payable or paid by such
Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such
Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the
Borrowers 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.  Each of
the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify the
Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (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
pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(ii) below.

(ii)Each Lender and the L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify,
and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand
therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes
attributable to such Lender or the L/C Issuer (but only to the extent that any
Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such
Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do
so), (y) the Administrative Agent against any Taxes attributable to such
Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(d) relating to
the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent
against any

86

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

 

Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in each case, that
are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan
Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the
relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment
or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.  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 clause (ii).

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

(e)Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably
requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed
and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding
or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably
requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the
Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to
backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the preceding two (2) sentences, the completion,
execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation
set forth in Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B), (ii)(D) and (iii) below) shall not
be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or
submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or
expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such
Lender.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any
Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a
Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed
originals of IRS

87

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

 

Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup
withholding tax;

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

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

(2)executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

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

(4)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies
of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or
W-8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the
form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification
documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the
Foreign Lender is a partnership and one (1) or more direct or indirect partners
of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such
Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in
the form of Exhibit I-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrowers 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

88

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

 

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

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

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

(iv)If Bank of America shall assign its role as Administrative Agent to a
successor Administrative Agent that is not a U.S. Person (including any foreign
branch of Bank of America that is not a U.S. Person), such successor
Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall, to the
extent applicable, provide to the Borrowers executed, properly completed
originals of Form W-8IMY (together with any required attachments) on or before
the date such successor Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent
hereunder.

(v)For purposes of this Section 3.01(e), any reference to “Lender” or “Foreign
Lender” shall include a domestic or foreign L/C Issuer, as applicable.

(f)Treatment of Certain Refunds.  Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time
shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise
pursue on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to
any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from
funds paid for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may
be.  If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good
faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by any Loan Party or with

89

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

 

respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 3.01, it shall pay to the Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but
only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a
Loan Party under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such
refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such
Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Loan
Party, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over
to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable
Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Loan Party pursuant to this
subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable
net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if Tax subject to
indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld
or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with
respect to such tax had never been paid.  This subsection shall not be construed
to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other
information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party
or any other Person.

(g)VAT.

(i)All amounts set out or expressed to be payable under a Loan Document or
Foreign Obligation Loan Document by any Loan Party which (in whole or in part)
constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be
deemed to be exclusive of any VAT.  If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any
supply made by any Lender, Foreign Obligation Provider, L/C Issuer or Related
Party thereof to any Loan Party under a Loan Document or Foreign Obligation Loan
Document, and such Lender, Foreign Obligation Provider, L/C Issuer or Related
Party thereof (as the case may be) is required to account to the relevant tax
authority for the VAT, that Loan Party shall pay to such Lender, Foreign
Obligation Provider, L/C Issuer or Related Party thereof (in addition to and at
the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal
to the amount of such VAT (and such Lender, Foreign Obligation Provider, L/C
Issuer or Related Party thereof (as the case may be) must promptly provide to
that Loan Party an appropriate VAT invoice relating to that VAT complying with
the relevant law).

(ii)Where a Loan Document or Foreign Obligation Loan Document requires any Loan
Party to reimburse or indemnify a Lender, Foreign Obligation Provider, L/C
Issuer or Related Party thereof for any cost or expense, that Loan Party shall
reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) the Lender, Foreign Obligation
Provider, L/C Issuer or Related Party thereof for the full amount of such cost
or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent
that such Lender, Foreign Obligation Provider, L/C Issuer or Related Party
thereof reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in
respect of such VAT from the relevant Tax Authority.

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

90

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

 

3.02Illegality; Designated Lenders.

(a)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 perform any of its obligations hereunder or to
make, maintain or fund or charge interest with respect to 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 Borrowers through the
Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to issue, make,
maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Loans 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 component of the Base Rate, in each case until
such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the
circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt
of such notice, (x) the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all
Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on
which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such
illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the
Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the
Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such
Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not
lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice
asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates
based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period
of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without
reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative
Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such
Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar
Rate.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay
accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

(b)If, in any applicable jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer
or any Lender or any Designated Lender determines that any Law has made it
unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender or its applicable
Designated Lender to (i) perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any
other Loan Document, (ii) to fund or maintain its participation in any Loan or
(iii) issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest or fees with respect to any
Credit Extension, such Person shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and
then, upon the Administrative Agent notifying the Borrower Representative and
until such notice by such Person is revoked, any obligation of such Person to
issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest or fees with respect to any such
Credit Extension shall be suspended, and to the extent required by applicable
Law, cancelled.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Loan Parties shall, (A) repay
that Person’s participation in the Loans or other applicable Obligations on the
last day of the Interest Period for each Loan or other Obligation occurring
after the Administrative Agent has notified the Borrower Representative or, if
earlier, the date specified by such Person in the notice delivered to the
Administrative Agent (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace
period permitted

91

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

 

by applicable Law) and (B) take all reasonable actions requested by such Person
to mitigate or avoid such illegality.

3.03Inability 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 or in connection
with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan (in each case with respect to clause
(a) above, “Impacted Loans”), or (b) the Administrative Agent or the affected
Lender determines 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 the Lenders of funding such Eurodollar
Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers 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, the Borrowers 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 Committed Loan Notice of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the
determination described in clause(a)(i) above, the Administrative Agent, in
consultation with the Borrowers 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 clause (a) of the first sentence of this section, (2)
the Administrative Agent or the affected Lender notifies the Administrative
Agent and the Borrowers 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 Borrowers written notice
thereof.

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

92

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

 

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

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

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

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

If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under
clause (a) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as
applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and
each Lender.  Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected
Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) the Eurodollar Rate
component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate.  Upon
receipt of such notice, the Borrowers 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
Committed Loan Notice of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y))
in the amount specified therein.

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

3.04Increased 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

93

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

 

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 any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B)
Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes
and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of
credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other
liabilities or capital attributable thereto; 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, continuing or maintaining any Loan the interest
on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or, in the case of
clause (ii) above, any 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 Borrowers will pay to such Lender
or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)Capital Requirements.  If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any
Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of
such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any,
regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on
the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made
by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such
Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that
which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding
company 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 or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such
Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts
as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C
Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)Mandatory Costs.  If any Lender or the L/C Issuer incurs any Mandatory Costs
attributable to the Obligations, then from time to time the Borrowers will pay
to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such Mandatory
Costs.  Such amount shall be expressed as a percentage rate per annum and shall
be payable on the full amount of the applicable Obligations.

(d)Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer
setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the
L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in
subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to

94

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

 

the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrowers shall
pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due
on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(e)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 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s
right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be
required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions
suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving
rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C
Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in
Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the
nine- (9-) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof).

(f)Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.  The Borrowers shall pay to each Lender,
as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to
liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits
(currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the
unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs
of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such
Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be
due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided
the Borrowers shall have received at least ten (10) days’ prior notice (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such
Lender.  If a Lender fails to give notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant
Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten
(10) days from receipt of such notice.

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

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

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

(c)any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of
the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant
to Section 11.13; including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or
expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to
maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which
such funds were obtained.  The Borrowers shall also pay any customary
administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

95

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

 

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 it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a
matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market
for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such
Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)Designation of a Different Lending Office.  Each Lender may make any Credit
Extension to the Borrowers through any Lending Office, provided that the
exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to
repay the Credit Extension in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or requires the Borrowers
to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender, the L/C
Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the L/C
Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to
Section 3.02, then at the request of the Borrowers 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 the Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or
additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account
of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, and in each case, such Lender has
declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with
Section 3.06(a), the Borrowers may replace such Lender in accordance with
Section 11.13.

3.07Survival.  All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall
survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other
Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

principal of the Loans, L/C Borrowings and Obligations then owing under the
Foreign Obligation Loan Documents, the Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash
Management Agreements and to the Administrative 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 2.16 and to the
Foreign Obligation Providers, to Cash Collateralize undrawn contingent liability
obligations owing to such Foreign Obligation Provider under the Foreign
Obligation Loan Documents to the extent not otherwise cash collateralized by the
applicable foreign Subsidiary, in each case ratably among the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders, the Foreign Obligation Providers, the L/C Issuer, the Hedge
Banks and the Cash Management Banks in proportion to the respective amounts
described in this clause Fourth held by them; and

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

Subject to Sections 2.03(c) and 2.16, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the
aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fourth above
shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they
occur.  If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of
Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be
applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth
above.  Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Loan Party shall not be
paid with amounts received from such Loan Party or its assets, but appropriate
adjustments shall be made with respect to payments

from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Secured Obligations
otherwise set forth above in this Section.

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

8.04Equity Cure.  In the event the Loan Parties fail to comply with the
financial covenants set forth in Section 7.11(a) or (b) as of the last day of
any fiscal quarter, any cash equity contribution to the Borrowers (funded with
proceeds of common equity issued by Holdings or a parent entity thereof or other
equity issued by Holdings or a parent entity thereof) on or prior to the day
that is ten (10) days after the day on which financial statements are required
to be delivered for that fiscal quarter will, at the irrevocable election of the
Borrowers, be included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA solely for the
purposes of determining compliance with such covenant at the end of such fiscal
quarter and any subsequent period that includes such fiscal quarter (any such
equity contribution so included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA, a
“Specified Equity Contribution”); provided that (a) notice of the Borrowers’
intent to make a Specified Equity Contribution shall be delivered no later than
the day on which financial statements are required to be delivered for the
applicable fiscal quarter, (b) in each consecutive four (4) Fiscal Quarter
period there will be at least two (2) fiscal quarters in which no Specified
Equity Contribution is made, (c) the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution
will be no greater than the amount required to cause the Loan Parties to be in
compliance with such covenants, (d) all Specified Equity Contributions will be
disregarded for purposes of the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for all other
purposes, including calculating basket levels, pricing and other items governed
by reference to Consolidated EBITDA, (e) there shall be no more than four (4)
Specified Equity Contributions made in the aggregate after the Restatement Date,
(f) any Loans prepaid with the proceeds of Specified Equity Contributions shall
be deemed outstanding for purposes of determining compliance with such covenants
for the Fiscal Quarter being cured and the next three (3) fiscal quarters, and
(g) the proceeds received by the Borrowers from each Specified Equity
Contribution will be promptly used by the Borrowers to prepay the Term
Loans.  From the effective date of delivery of such cure notice to the
Administrative Agent until the date that is ten (10) days after the day on which
the applicable financial statements are required to be delivered, neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall impose a default interest rate,
accelerate the Obligations, terminate the Revolving Credit Commitment or
exercise any other right or remedy against the Loan Parties or any of their
Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties solely on the basis of an
Event of Default having occurred under Section 8.01(b) as a result of the Loan
Parties’ failure to comply with the financial covenants referenced in such cure
notice; provided that for purposes of determining the satisfaction of the
conditions precedent to a borrowing under the Revolving Credit Commitments
pursuant to Section 4.02, a Default shall be deemed to exist.  Upon receipt by
Borrowers of the Specified Equity Contribution, any applicable Default or Event
of Default shall be deemed to have been cured.

ARTICLE IX
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.01Appointment and Authority.  (a) Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer
hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Bank of America to act on
its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its
behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent
by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article are solely for
the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and
neither the 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 Administrative Agent is not intended to
connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under
agency doctrine of any applicable Law.  Instead such term is used as a matter of
market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
relationship between contracting parties.

(b)The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the
Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a
potential Hedge Bank, potential Foreign Obligation Provider and a potential Cash
Management Bank) and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes
the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the L/C Issuer
for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral
granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together
with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.  In this
connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents,
sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral
(or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for
exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the
Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of
this Article IX and Article XI (including Section 11.04(c), as though such
co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under
the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

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

9.03Exculpatory Provisions.  (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any
duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other
Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in
nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent and its Related Parties:

139

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

 

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

(ii)shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent
is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for
herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent
shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of
its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is
contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, 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

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

(b)Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related parties shall be
liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the
request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in
good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections
11.01 and 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 and
nonappealable judgment.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have
knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is
given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers, a Lender or the
L/C Issuer.

(c)The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set
forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation,
perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral
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 the
Administrative Agent.

9.04Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying and shall not
incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate,
communication, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing
(including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other

140

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

 

distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or
otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may
rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to
have been made by the proper Person, and shall be fully protected in relying and
shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance
with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance,
extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be
fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative
Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C
Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the
contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or
the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  The Administrative Agent may consult
with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such
counsel, accountants or experts.  For purposes of determining compliance with
the conditions specified in Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this
Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be
satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be
consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the
proposed Restatement Date specifying its objections.  The Administrative Agent
shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to
ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions
hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions.  Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing sentence, the Administrative Agent shall not ‎(w) be obligated
to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or
prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified ‎Institution, (x) be
obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or
Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a fund managed or
administered by a Person on the Excluded Persons List or any Affiliate of any
such Person (but not a Person specifically named on the Excluded Persons List),
(y) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or
Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Competitor or Competitor
Controller, and the Administrative Agent and any assignor may conclusively rely
on a representation by the potential assignee that it is not a Competitor or
Competitor Controller in the applicable assignment agreement; provided, however,
that at any Lender’s option (but with no obligation to do so), the Borrowers
shall confirm, within ten (10) Business Days after such Lender’s request
therefor, whether a potential assignee or participant is a Competitor or
Competitor Controller or (z) have any liability with respect to or arising out
of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential
information, to any ‎Disqualified Institution.

9.05Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of
its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan
Document by or through any one (1) or more sub-agents appointed by the
Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may
perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this
Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective
activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided
for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.  The Administrative
Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any
sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction
determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent
acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such
sub-agents.

141

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

 

9.06Resignation of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may at any
time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the
Borrowers.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders
shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, 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 thirty (30) days after the retiring
Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, (or such earlier day as
shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”),
then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on
behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative
Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event
shall any Defaulting Lender be a successor Administrative Agent.  Whether or not
a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in
accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(a)If the Person serving as Administrative 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 Borrowers and such
Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the
Borrowers, appoint a successor.  If no such successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required
Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless
become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(b)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date
(as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the
Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such
collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is
appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed
to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications
and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative
Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly,
until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a
successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall
succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided
in Section 3.01(g) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other
amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the
Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and
the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its
duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not
already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees
payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative 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 Administrative
Agent’s resignation or removal 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 Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and
their respective Related

142

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

 

Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them
while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative
Agent.

(c)Any resignation or removal by Bank of America as Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and
Swing Line Lender.  If Bank of America resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain
all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with
respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its
resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto,
including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk
participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c).  If Bank of
America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the
Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made
by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including
the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk
participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section
2.04(c).  Upon the appointment by the Borrowers of a successor L/C Issuer or
Swing Line Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender
other than a Defaulting Lender), (a) such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C
Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and
Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and
obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, 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 Bank of America to effectively assume the
obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

(d)For purposes of any Dutch Collateral Document or any other right of pledge
governed by Netherlands law, any resignation by the Administrative Agent is not
effective with respect to its rights under the Parallel Debt until all rights
and obligations under the Parallel Debt have been assigned and assumed to the
successor agent.  The Administrative Agent will reasonably cooperate in
assigning its rights under the Parallel Debt to any such successor agent and
will reasonably cooperate in transferring all rights under any Dutch Collateral
Document or any other Security Document governed by Netherlands law (as the case
may be) to such successor agent.

(e)Assignment or transfer to or assumption by any person of Commitments or Loans
with respect to a Dutch Borrower shall only be permitted if such person is a
Non-Public Lender.

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

9.08No Other Duties, Etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none
of the Bookrunners or Arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any
powers, duties or

143

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

 

responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except
in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C
Issuer hereunder.

9.09Administrative 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(i) and (j), 2.09 and 11.04) 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, judicial manager 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 2.09 and 11.04.

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 (1) 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 Obligations with respect to
contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired
assets on a ratable

144

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

 

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 (1) or more acquisition
vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of
the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the
Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles,
including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be
governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders,
irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to
the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in clauses (a)
through (j) of Section 11.01 of this Agreement), (iii) 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 (iv) to the
extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used
to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or
better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle
exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise),
such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the 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.

9.10Collateral and Guaranty Matters.  Without limiting the provisions of Section
9.09, each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Cash
Management Bank, potential Foreign Obligation Provider and a potential Hedge
Bank) and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its
option and in its discretion,

(a)to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative
Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon the Facility Termination Date, (ii) that
is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part
of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or
under any other Loan Document to a Person that is not a Loan Party, (iii) that
constitutes Excluded Assets, or (iv) if approved, authorized or ratified in
writing in accordance with Section 11.01;

(b)to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such
Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under
the Loan Documents; and

(c)to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such
property that is permitted by Section 7.01(i).

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will
confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or
subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release
any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section
9.10.  In each case as specified in this Section 9.10, the Administrative

145

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

 

Agent 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 Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such
item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in
each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section
9.10.

The Administrative Agent shall not 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 Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate
prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative
Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or
maintain any portion of the Collateral.

9.11Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements.  No Cash
Management Bank, Foreign Obligation Provider or Hedge Bank that obtains the
benefits of Section 8.03, any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the
provisions hereof or of any Guaranty or any Collateral Document shall have any
right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the
Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in
its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly
provided in the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Article IX to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to
verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made
with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements
and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received
written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation
as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management
Bank, Foreign Obligation Provider or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.  The
Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that
other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured
Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge
Agreements in the case of a Facility Termination Date.

9.12Parallel Debt

(a)Holdings, and any other Loan Party providing security under a Dutch
Collateral Document (each a “Dutch Collateral Party”) hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to
the aggregate amount due by that Dutch Collateral Party in respect of the
Corresponding Obligations as they may exist from time to time.  They payment
undertaking of each of the Dutch Collateral Parties under this Section 9.12
(Parallel Debt) is to be referred to as its “Parallel Debt”.

(b)The Parallel Debt of each of the Dutch Collateral Parties will be payable in
the currency or currencies of its Corresponding Obligations and will become due
and payable as and when and to the extent one (1) or more of its Corresponding
Obligations become due and payable.  An Event of Default in respect of the
Corresponding Obligations shall constitute a default (verzuim) within the
meaning of section 3:248 of the Dutch Civil Code with respect to the Parallel
Debts without any notice being required.

146

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

 

(c)Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledges that:

(i)each Parallel Debt constitutes an undertaking, obligation and liability to
the Administrative Agent which is separate and independent from, and without
prejudice to, the Corresponding Obligations of the relevant pledgor; and

(ii)each Parallel Debt represents the Administrative Agent's own separate and
independent claim to receive payment of the Parallel Debt from the relevant
Dutch Collateral Party,

it being understood, in each case, that pursuant to this Section 9.12(c) the
amount which may become payable by each of the Dutch Collateral Parties as its
Parallel Debt shall never exceed the total of the amounts which are payable
under or in connection with its Corresponding Obligations.

(d)The Administrative Agent hereby confirms and accepts that to the extent the
Administrative Agent irrevocably receives any amount in payment of a Parallel
Debt, the Administrative Agent shall distribute that amount the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders that are creditors of the relevant Corresponding
Obligations in accordance with Section 8.03.  Upon irrevocable receipt by the
Administrative Agent of any amount in payment of a Parallel Debt (a “Received
Amount”), the Corresponding Obligations shall be reduced, if necessary pro rata
in respect of the Administrative Agent and each Lender individually, by amounts
totaling an amount (a “Deductible Amount”) equal to the Received Amount in the
manner as if the Deductible Amount were received by the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders as a payment of the Corresponding Obligations owed by the relevant
Dutch Collateral Party on the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent of the
Received Amount.

(e)For the purpose of this Section 9.12 the Administrative Agent acts in its own
name and on behalf of itself and not as agent, trustee or representative of any
other Lender.

ARTICLE X
CONTINUING GUARANTY

10.01Guaranty.  Each Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally, jointly
and severally guarantees, as primary obligor and as a guaranty of payment and
performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due,
whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or
otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all of the Obligations,
whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, damages, costs,
expenses or otherwise, of the Borrowers (other than itself) to the Secured
Parties, and whether arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document, any
Secured Cash Management Agreement or any Secured Hedge Agreement (including all
renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof
and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Secured Parties in
connection with the collection or enforcement thereof) (for each Guarantor,
subject to the proviso in this sentence, its “Guaranteed Obligations”); provided
that (a) the Guaranteed Obligations of a Guarantor shall exclude any Excluded
Swap Obligations with respect to such Guarantor and (b) the liability of each
Guarantor individually with respect to this Guaranty shall be limited to an
aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its
obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy
Code of the United States or any comparable provisions of any applicable state
law or other applicable Law.  The Administrative Agent’s books and records
showing the amount of the Obligations shall be

149

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

 

admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon
each Guarantor, and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the
Obligations.  This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity,
regularity or enforceability of the Obligations or any instrument or agreement
evidencing any Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability,
perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact
or circumstance relating to the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a
defense to the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, and each
Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter
acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing.

10.02Rights of Lenders.  Each Guarantor consents and agrees that the Secured
Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and
without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof:  (a)
amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the
time for payment or the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take,
hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise
dispose of any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Obligations; (c)
apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders in their sole discretion
may determine; and (d) release or substitute one (1) or more of any endorsers or
other guarantors of any of the Obligations.  Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, each Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any
action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such
Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as
a discharge of such Guarantor.

10.03Certain Waivers.  Each Guarantor waives (a) any defense arising by reason
of any disability or other defense of the Borrowers or any other guarantor, or
the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any
Secured Party) of the liability of the Borrowers; (b) any defense based on any
claim that such Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those
of the Borrowers; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting any
Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to proceed against the Borrowers,
proceed against or exhaust any security for the Obligations, or pursue any other
remedy in the power of any Secured Party whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any
right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by any Secured Party;
and (f) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or
benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the
liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties.  Each Guarantor expressly
waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment
or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of
protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or
nature whatsoever with respect to the Obligations, and all notices of acceptance
of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or
additional Obligations.  Each Guarantor waives any rights and defenses that are
or may become available to such Guarantor by reason of §§ 2787 to 2855,
inclusive, and §§ 2899 and 3433 of the California Civil Code.  As provided
below, this Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
Laws of the State of New York.  The foregoing waivers and the provisions
hereinafter set forth in this Guaranty which pertain to California law are
included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall not be construed to
mean that any of the above-referenced provisions of California Law are in any
way applicable to this Guaranty or the Obligations.

10.04Obligations Independent.  The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are
those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the
Obligations and the

150

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

 

obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against
such Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty whether or not the Borrowers or any
other Person or entity is joined as a party.

10.05Subrogation.  No Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation,
contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any
payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Obligations and any
amounts payable under this Guaranty have been indefeasibly paid and performed in
full and the Commitments and the Facilities are terminated.  If any amounts are
paid to any Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such
amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall
forthwith be paid to the Secured Parties to reduce the amount of the
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

10.06Termination; Reinstatement.  This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable
guaranty of all Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full
force and effect until all Obligations and any other amounts payable under this
Guaranty are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Commitments and the
Facilities with respect to the Obligations are terminated.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived,
as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers or any
Guarantor is made, or any of the Secured Parties exercises its right of setoff,
in respect of the Obligations 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 any of the Secured Parties in their discretion) to be repaid to
a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under
any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or
such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Secured Parties are in
possession of or have released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior
revocation, rescission, termination or reduction.  The obligations of each
Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

10.07Subordination.  Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all
obligations and indebtedness of the Borrowers owing to such Guarantor, whether
now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation
of the Borrowers to any Guarantor as subrogee of the Secured Parties or
resulting from such Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty, to the
indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations.  If the Secured Parties
so request, any such obligation or indebtedness of the Borrowers to any
Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as
trustee for the Secured Parties and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to
the Secured Parties on account of the Obligations, but without reducing or
affecting in any manner the liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty.

10.08Stay of Acceleration.  If acceleration of the time for payment of any of
the Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against
any Guarantor or the Borrowers under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all
such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by such Guarantor, jointly and
severally, immediately upon demand by the Secured Parties.

10.09Condition of Borrowers.  Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has
the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the
Borrowers and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial
condition, business and operations of the

151

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

 

Borrowers and any such other guarantor as such Guarantor requires, and that none
of the Secured Parties has any duty, and such Guarantor is not relying on the
Secured Parties at any time, to disclose to such Guarantor any information
relating to the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrowers or
any other guarantor.  Each Guarantor hereby waives any duty on the part of the
Secured Parties to disclose such information and any defense relating to the
failure to provide the same.

10.10Additional Guarantor Waivers and Agreements.  (a) Each Guarantor
understands and acknowledges that if the Secured Parties foreclose judicially or
nonjudicially against any real property security for the Obligations, that
foreclosure could impair or destroy any ability that such Guarantor may have to
seek reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification from the Borrowers or
others based on any right such Guarantor may have of subrogation, reimbursement,
contribution, or indemnification for any amounts paid by such Guarantor under
this Guaranty.  Each Guarantor further understands and acknowledges that in the
absence of this paragraph, such potential impairment or destruction of such
Guarantor’s rights, if any, may entitle such Guarantor to assert a defense to
this Guaranty based on Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure as
interpreted in Union Bank v. Gradsky, 265 Cal. App. 2d 40 (1968).  By executing
this Guaranty, Each Guarantor freely, irrevocably, and unconditionally:  (i)
waives and relinquishes that defense and agrees that such Guarantor will be
fully liable under this Guaranty even though the Secured Parties may foreclose,
either by judicial foreclosure or by exercise of power of sale, any deed of
trust securing the Obligations; (ii) agrees that such Guarantor will not assert
that defense in any action or proceeding which the Secured Parties may commence
to enforce this Guaranty; (iii) acknowledges and agrees that the rights and
defenses waived by such Guarantor in this Guaranty include any right or defense
that such Guarantor may have or be entitled to assert based upon or arising out
of any one (1) or more of §§ 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of
Civil Procedure or § 2848 of the California Civil Code; and (iv) acknowledges
and agrees that the Secured Parties are relying on this waiver in creating the
Obligations, and that this waiver is a material part of the consideration which
the Secured Parties are receiving for creating the Obligations.

(b)Each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that such Guarantor may have
because any of the Obligations is secured by real property.  This means, among
other things:  (i) the Secured Parties may collect from such Guarantor without
first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the
other Loan Parties; and (ii) if the Secured Parties foreclose on any real
property collateral pledged by the other Loan Parties: (A) the amount of the
Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold
at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale
price, and (B) the Secured Parties may collect from such Guarantor even if the
Secured Parties, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, have destroyed
any right such Guarantor may have to collect from the Borrowers.  This is an
unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses any Guarantor
may have because any of the Obligations is secured by real property.  These
rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses
based upon § 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

(c)Each Guarantor waives any right or defense it may have at law or equity,
including California Code of Civil Procedure § 580a, to a fair market value
hearing or action to determine a deficiency judgment after a foreclosure.

152

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

 

10.11Keepwell.  Each Loan Party that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time
the Guaranty or the grant of the security interest under the Loan Documents, in
each case, by any Specified Loan Party, becomes effective with respect to any
Swap Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified
Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such
Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under its
Guaranty and the other Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but,
in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby
incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and
undertakings under this Article X voidable under applicable law relating to
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater
amount).  The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under
this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have
been indefeasibly paid and performed in full.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor
intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to
constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or
other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Loan Party for all purposes
of the Commodity Exchange Act.

ARTICLE XI

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 disproportionately adversely relative to other affected
Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

154

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

 

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be
amended with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative
Agent and the Borrowers (i) to add one (1) or more additional revolving credit

and all related obligations and liabilities arising in connection therewith from

Loan Documents with the obligations and liabilities from time to time
outstanding in respect of the existing facilities hereunder, and (ii) in
connection with the foregoing, to permit, as deemed appropriate by the

percentage or class of Lenders hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.01, (x)
Collateral Documents and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in
connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the

delivered in order (i) to comply with local law or advice of local counsel, (ii)
to cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects or (iii) to cause such
Collateral Document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents and (y) if following the Restatement Date, the

ambiguity, inconsistency, obvious error or any error or omission of a technical
or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then
the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties shall be permitted to amend such
provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action
or consent of any other party to any Loan Documents if the same is not objected
to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following
receipt of notice thereof.

If any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or
release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of each
Lender and that has been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrowers may
replace such non-consenting Lender in accordance with Section 11.13; provided
that such amendment, waiver, consent or release can be effected as a result of
the assignment contemplated by such Section (together with all other such
assignments required by the Borrowers to be made pursuant to this paragraph).

under such Article by electronic communication.  The Administrative Agent, the
Swingline Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Borrowers 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), 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 available and
identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i)
and (ii), if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the
normal business hours of the recipient, such notice, email or communication
shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next
business day for the recipient.

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 any
Loan Party, 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’, any Loan Party’s or the Administrative
Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials or notices through the Platform, any
other electronic messaging service, or through the Internet.

(d)Change of Address, Etc.  Each of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent,
the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender may change its address, facsimile or
telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the
other parties hereto.  Each other Lender may change its address, facsimile or
telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line
Lender.  In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from
time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an
effective address, contact name, telephone number, facsimile 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 (1) 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 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, without limitation, telephonic or electronic notices, Loan
Notices, Letter of Credit Applications, Notice of Loan Prepayment and Swingline
Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrowers 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 Loan Parties 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 or on behalf of the Borrowers.  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.

11.03No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement.  No failure by any Lender, the
L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such
Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under
any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein
provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

157

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 Documents, (b) the L/C
Issuer or the Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that
inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender,
as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender
from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.08 (subject to the
terms of Section 2.13), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or
appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a
proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided,
further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as 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 2.13, any Lender may,

of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of
Hazardous Materials at, on, under or emanating from any property owned, leased
or operated by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental

actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to
any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory,
whether brought by a third party or by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or
any of the Borrowers’ or such Loan Party’s directors, shareholders or creditors,
and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; 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)
result from a claim brought by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party against an
Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or
under any other Loan Document, if the Borrowers or such Loan Party has obtained
a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction, or (z) involve disputes among Indemnitees
unrelated to any disputes involving, or claims against, the Borrowers and/or the
Guarantors and other than disputes involving the Administrative Agent, the Swing
Line Lender, the L/C Issuer, or any Arranger or similar Person in its capacity
as such, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
nonappealable judgment.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01(c),
this Section 10.4(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
fail 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, the Swing Line Lender 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, the Swing Line Lender or such Related
Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the
time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought
based on each Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure at such time) of such
unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted
by such Lender), such payment to be made severally among them based on such
Lenders’ Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), provided, further that,
the unreimbursed expense or

159

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

 

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), the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such, or
against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative
Agent (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender in
connection with such capacity.  The obligations of the Lenders under this
subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).

(d)Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.  To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, the Loan Parties shall not assert, and hereby waive, and
acknowledge that no other Person shall have, 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 others of any information or other materials
distributed to such party 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.

(e)Payments.  All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than
ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.

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

11.05Payments 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.

160

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

 

11.06Successors 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 neither 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 assignee in accordance with the
provisions of Section 11.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with
the provisions of Section 11.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a
security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 11.06(e) (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 (1) or more
assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for
purposes of this Section 11.06(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in
Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that (in each case with
respect to any Facility) any such assignment shall be subject to the following
conditions:

(i)Minimum Amounts.

(A)in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitment under any Facility and/or the Loans at the time owing to it
(in each case with respect to any Facility) or contemporaneous assignments, in
each case, to related Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such
Assignments) that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of
this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned;
and

(B)in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the
aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect,
the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject
to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the 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, in the case of any assignment in
respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, or $1,000,000, in the case of any
assignment in respect of the Term A Facility, unless each of the Administrative
Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Borrowers otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed).

161

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

 

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

(iii)Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except
to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section, Section 11.06(g)
and, in addition:

(A)the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender,
an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that (a) the Borrowers’
refusal to accept (assuming such acceptance is required pursuant to Section
11.06(g)) any Disqualified Institution shall be deemed to be not unreasonable by
the Borrowers, (b) the Borrowers shall be deemed to have consented to any such
assignment unless they shall object thereto by written notice to the
Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice
thereof, and (c) the Borrowers’ consent shall not be required during the primary
syndication of the credit facility provided herein;

(B)the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) any
Revolving Credit Commitment or Incremental Revolving Commitment if such
assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of
the applicable Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with
respect to such Lender or (ii) any Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender,
an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(C)the consent of the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender shall be required for
any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility or any Incremental
Revolving Credit Commitment.

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

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

162

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

 

(vi)Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights
and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be
effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set
forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments
to the 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 Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the
applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the
Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby
irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities
then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer
or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund
as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in
Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its 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.

(vii)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a
party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under
this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 with
respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such
assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by
the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a
waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s
having been a Defaulting Lender.  Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense)
shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender.  Any assignment or
transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not
comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a
sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in
accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c)Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary 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 (or the equivalent thereof in
electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses
of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated
interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the
terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register
shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is

163

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

 

recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for
all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register is intended to cause each Loan and
other obligation hereunder to be in registered form within the meaning of
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and within the
meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.  The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, the 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, the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or
Subsidiaries, or a Disqualified Institution (other than during the continuation
of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), Section 8.01(f) or Section
8.01(g))) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights
and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C
Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative
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.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible
for the indemnity under Section 11.04(c) without regard to the existence of any
participation.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to
Section 11.01 that affects such Participant.  The Borrowers agree that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits, and subject to the terms and
provisions, of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of
this Section (it being understood that the documentation required under Section
3.01(e) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation); provided
that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections
3.06 and 11.13 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and
(B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01 or
3.04, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired
the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the
extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in
Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable
participation.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’
request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers
to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.06 with respect to any
Participant.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender; provided
that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a
Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this
purpose as a fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it
enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and
stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other
obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that

164

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

 

no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the
Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any
information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans,
letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any
Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that
such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered
form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and
within the meaning of Section 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.  The
entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error,
and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this
Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of
doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall
have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

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

(f)Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after
Assignment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at
any time Bank of America assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and
Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 11.06(b), Bank of America may, (i)
upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, resign as L/C
Issuer and/or (ii) upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrowers, resign as
Swing Line Lender.  In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing
Line Lender, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a
successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder with the applicable Lender’s
consent; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such
successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing
Line Lender, as the case may be.  If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it
shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer
hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective
date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect
thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or
fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section
2.03(c)).  If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all
the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing
Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such
resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans
or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section
2.04(c).  Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line
Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line
Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters
of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the
time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of
America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to
such Letters of Credit.

(g)Disqualified Institutions.  (i)  Other than in the event that an Event of
Default under Section 8.01(a), Section 8.01(f) or Section 8.01(g) has occurred
and is continuing, no assignment or participation shall be made to any Person
that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the

165

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

 

“Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to
sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrowers have consented to such assignment
in writing in their sole and absolute discretion) (in which case such Person
will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such
assignment or participation).  For the avoidance of doubt, the delivery of a
notice pursuant to, and the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the
definition of “Disqualified Institution” after the Trade Date shall not
retroactively disqualify a Person that was not a Disqualified Institution on the
Trade Date from becoming a Lender.  Any assignment in violation of this clause
(g)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (g) shall
apply.

(i)If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution
without the Borrowers’ prior written consent in violation of clause (g)(i)
above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable
Trade Date, the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to
the applicable Disqualified Institution (other than with respect to a
Disqualified Institution that becomes a Lender after an Event of Default under
Section 8.01(a), Section 8.01(f) or Section 8.01(g) has occurred and is
continuing) and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Revolving Credit
Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the
Borrowers owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such
Revolving Credit Commitment, (B) in the case of outstanding Term Loans held by
Disqualified Institutions, purchase or prepay such Term Loan by paying the
lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such
Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such Term Loans, in each case plus
accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal
amounts) payable to it hereunder and/or (C) require such Disqualified
Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in this Section 11.06), all of its interest, rights and
obligations under this Agreement to one (1) or more Eligible Assignees at the
lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such
Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations,
in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other
than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.

(ii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
Disqualified Institutions (other than with respect to a Disqualified Institution
that becomes a Lender after an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), Section
8.01(f) or Section 8.01(g) has occurred and is continuing) (A) will not (x) have
the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders
by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) be
permitted to attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent, or (z) be permitted to access any electronic site
established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or
financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for
purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any
action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative or any
Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be
deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not
Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, (y) for purposes of voting
on any Plan, each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to
vote on such Plan, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such Plan
notwithstanding

166

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

 

the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be
in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the
Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and
such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has
accepted or rejected such Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the
Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and
(3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the
Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction)
effectuating the foregoing clause (2), and (z) each Disqualified Institution
party hereto hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such
appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Disqualified Institution’s
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such
Disqualified Institution and in the name of such Disqualified Institution
(solely in respect of Loans therein and not in respect of any other claim or
status such Disqualified Institution may otherwise have), from time to time in
the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any
instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary or
appropriate to carry out the provisions of this clause (B), including to ensure
that any vote of such Disqualified Institution on any Plan is withdrawn or
otherwise not counted.

(iii)The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrowers hereby
expressly authorize the Administrative Agent, to provide the Excluded Persons
List to each Lender requesting the same.

(iv)The foregoing provisions shall not constitute a waiver or release of any
claim of any party hereunder against a Disqualified Institution arising from
that Person having become a Disqualified Institution hereunder in violation of
this Agreement.

(h)The parties hereby agree that MLPFS may, without notice to the Loan Parties,
assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any other registered
broker-dealer wholly-owned by Bank of America Corporation to which all or
substantially all of Bank of America Corporation’s or any of its subsidiaries’
investment banking, commercial lending services or related businesses may be
transferred following the date of this Agreement.

11.07Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.  Each of the
Administrative 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 Related Parties (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of
the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such
Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or requested by any
regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its
Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by
applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d)
to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights
hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or
Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to
be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or
its Related

167

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

 

Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are
to be made by reference to the Borrowers and their obligations, this Agreement
or payments hereunder (it being understood that the Excluded Persons List may be
disclosed to any assignee or Participant, or prospective assignee or
Participant, in reliance on this clause (f)), (g) on a confidential basis to (i)
any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries
or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or
any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP
numbers of other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities
provided hereunder, (h) with the consent of the Borrowers, (i) to any person who
is a person, or who belongs to a class of person, specified in the second column
of the Third Schedule to the Banking Act, Chapter 19 of Singapore or (j) to the
extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of
a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent,
any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from
any Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to any Borrower or any Subsidiary or any
of 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 Holdings or any Subsidiary,
provided that, in the case of information received from Holdings or any
Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the
time of delivery as confidential.  Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered
to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the
same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such
Person would accord to its own confidential information.  In addition, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this
Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors,
similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the
Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents and the Commitments.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges
that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning
the Borrowers 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.

11.08Right 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, after obtaining the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any
time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such
Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account
of the 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 or Affiliate of such Lender or the L/C

168

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

 

Issuer different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or
obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting
Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall
be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 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 Borrowers 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.

11.09Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the
Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest
permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If the Administrative Agent
or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate,
the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it
exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers.  In determining
whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative
Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent
permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal
as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary
prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and
spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the
contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

11.10Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed
in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts),
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents
and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the
Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, constitute the entire contract among the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof.  Except as provided in Section 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 or any other Loan Document, or any certificate delivered thereunder,
by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement or
such other Loan Document or certificate.  Without limiting the foregoing, to the
extent a manually executed counterpart is not specifically required to be
delivered under the terms of any Loan Document, upon the request of any party,
such fax transmission or e-mail transmission shall be promptly followed by such
manually executed counterpart.

11.11Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and
warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document
delivered pursuant hereto or

169

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

 

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.

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

11.13Replacement of Lenders.  If the Borrowers are entitled to replace a Lender
pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.06, or if any Lender is a Defaulting
Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder
that gives the Borrowers the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then
the Borrowers may, at their 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 11.06), all of its interests, rights
(other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.04)
and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an
Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be
another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a)the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee
(if any) specified in Section 11.06(b);

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

(c)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation
under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01,
such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments
thereafter;

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

170

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

 

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

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 Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation
cease to apply.

the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender,
as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency,
the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance
with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment
Currency.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the
sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Borrower
in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, as the case may be, against such loss.  If the amount of the Agreement
Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or
such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to
such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under
applicable law).

each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA
Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such
liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers
of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and
agrees to be bound by:

(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution
Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it
by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b)the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if

(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other

accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the
exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution
Authority.

11.23California Judicial Reference.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, if any action or proceeding is filed in a court of
the State of California by or against any party hereto in connection with any of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (a)
the court shall, and is hereby directed to, make a general reference pursuant to
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 to a referee (who shall be a
single active or retired judge) to hear and determine all of the issues in such
action or proceeding (whether of fact or of law) and to report a statement of
decision, provided that at the option of any party to such proceeding, any such
issues pertaining to a “provisional remedy” as defined in California Code of
Civil Procedure Section 1281.8 shall be heard and determined by the court, and
(b) without limiting the generality of Section 11.04, the Borrowers shall be
solely responsible to pay all fees and expenses of any referee appointed in such
action or proceeding.

its entirety the Existing Credit Agreement.  All rights, benefits, indebtedness,
interest, liabilities and obligations of the parties to the Existing Credit

entirety according to the terms and provisions set forth herein.  The parties
hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) this Agreement, any promissory notes
