conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) 12:00 noon on

Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested

appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.
Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall

continuation, then the 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 Borrower requests a Borrowing
of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such
Revolving Credit Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will
be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding

Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable
Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loans, and if no timely notice of a
conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate
Loans described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing,
each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative
Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not
later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Revolving
Credit 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 Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i)
crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the
amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in
accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the
Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date a
Revolving Credit Loan Notice with respect to a Revolving Credit Borrowing is
given by the Borrower, there are L/C 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
Borrower as provided above.
(c)    Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be
continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such
Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be
requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the
consent of the Required Lenders.
(d)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar
Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate
Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and
the Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining
the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.
(e)    After giving effect to all 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 ten (10)
Interest Periods in effect with respect to Revolving Credit Loans.
(f)    Anything in this Section 2.02 to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Borrower may not select the Eurodollar Rate for any Credit Extension requested
to be made within 3 Business Days of the Closing Date.
2.03.    Letters of Credit. (a) The Letter of Credit Commitment. (i) Subject to
the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in
reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1)
from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date
until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the
account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, 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 Lenders severally agree
to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account

-38-

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

of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided that
after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of
Credit, (x) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments,
(y) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s
Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not
exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower for the
issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a
representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested
complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence.
Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and
accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of
Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn
upon and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been
issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to
and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.
(ii)    The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit if:
(A)    subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of the requested Letter
of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last
extension, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or
(B)    the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur after the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such
expiry date.
(iii)    The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of
Credit if:
(A)    any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator
shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing 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 Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss,
cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing 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 or more policies
of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;
(C)    except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C
Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $10,000;

-39-

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

(D)    the Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than
Dollars;
(E)    any 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 Borrower or
such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure
(after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting
Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or
that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which the L/C Issuer
has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole
discretion.
(iv)    The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer
would not be permitted at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended
form under the terms hereof.
(v)    The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit
if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue 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.
(vi)    The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any
Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the
L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the
Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions
suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or
proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of
Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX
included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as
additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.
(b)    Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit;
Auto-Extension Letters of Credit. (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or
amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the
L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of
Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer
of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application 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 11:00 a.m. at
least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent
and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion)
prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In
the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter
of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory
to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of
Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry
date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the
documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder;
(F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary

-40-

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

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
request. 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 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 reasonably request. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish
to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and
information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment,
including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent
may request.
(ii)    Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C
Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing)
that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit
Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the
Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received
written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at
least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of
the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions
contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a
Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary)
or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in
accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.
Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be
deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from
the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal
to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such
Letter of Credit.
(iii)    If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit
Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to
issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an
“Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter
of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once
in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter
of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a
day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be
agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise
directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a
specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an
Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to
have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of
such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of
Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit
any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be
permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of
Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of
the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B)
it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before
the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1)
from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to
permit such extension

-41-

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

or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or
more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then
satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such
extension.
(iv)    Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to
a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the
beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or
amendment.
(c)    Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. (i) Upon receipt
from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under
such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any
payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor
Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative
Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to
so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed
drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower 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
Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the
delivery of a Revolving Credit Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer
or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by
telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an
immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of
such notice.
(ii)    Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make
funds available (and the 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 Percentage of the
Unreimbursed Amount not later than 12:00 noon on the Business Day specified in
such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed
to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative
Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.
(iii)    With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by
a 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 Borrower shall
be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of
the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall (1)
be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and (2) if such L/C
Borrowing were incurred because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot
be satisfied, bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s
payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant
to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation

-42-

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

in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in
satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.
(iv)    Until each Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance
pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount
drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C
Issuer.
(v)    Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances
to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as
contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have
against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other
occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;
provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans
pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Revolving Credit Loan
Notice ). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the
obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any
payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with
interest as provided herein.
(vi)    If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time
specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of
this Agreement, the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender
(acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest
thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on
which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per
annum equal to the 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 Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant
Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case
may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this
Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)    Repayment of Participations. (i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has
made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such
Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section
2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer
any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon
(whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash
Collateral

-43-

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

applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will
distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as
those received by the Administrative Agent.
(ii)    If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of
the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under
any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable
Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon
from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender,
at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.
The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in
full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(e)    Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C
Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C
Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances,
including the following:
(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this
Agreement, or any other Loan Document;
(ii)    the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right
that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary
or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such
beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other
Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated
hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating
thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii)    any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such
Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in
any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required
in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(iv)    any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such
Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy,
debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator,
receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any
transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with
any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or
(v)    any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower, any of its
Subsidiaries or Holdings; provided, however, that nothing contained in this
paragraph (e) shall be deemed to constitute

-44-

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

a waiver of any remedies of the Borrower in connection with the Letters of
Credit or the Borrower's rights under paragraph (f) below.
The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each
amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of
noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the
Borrower will promptly notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively
deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its
correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(f)    Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying
any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any
responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates
and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or
inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of
the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer,
the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any
correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any
Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request
or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii)
any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or
enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or
Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions
of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of
Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall
not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have
against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None
of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related
Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall
be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through
(v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer,
and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the
extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages
suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C
Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful
failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the
beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the
terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation
of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face
to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of
any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be
responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or
assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights
or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove
to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 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; Limitation of Liability. Unless otherwise expressly
agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued
(including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the
rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

-45-

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible to the
Borrower for, and the L/C Issuer’s rights and remedies against the Borrower
shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the L/C Issuer required 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 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 Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Lender in accordance, subject to Section 2.16, with its
Applicable 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) computed on a
quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during
any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit
shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each
period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of
the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists under Section 8.01 (a),
(f), or (g), 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 Borrower 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 of 0.125% per
annum, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of
Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and
payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September
and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion
thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date
to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily
amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such
Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. In
addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account
the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and
other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of
credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs
and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
(j)    Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the
terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall
control.

-46-

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

(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 Borrower shall be obligated to
reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of
Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit
for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that
the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such
Subsidiaries.
2.04.    Swing Line Loans. (a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein and in the AutoBorrow Agreement, 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 Borrower pursuant to the AutoBorrow Agreement 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 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 Commitment; provided,
however, that (x) after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total
Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the Revolving
Credit Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment (taking
into account each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swing Line Loan), (y)
the Borrower 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
Borrower may borrow, prepay, and reborrow Swing Line Loans in each case,
pursuant to the AutoBorrow Agreement. No Lender shall have any rights under the
AutoBorrow Agreement (but each Lender shall have the obligation to purchase and
fund risk participations in the Swing Line Loans and to refinance Swing Line
Loans as provided below). Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.
Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed
to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the
Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount
equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of
such Swing Line Loan.
(b)    Borrowing Procedures Each Swing Line Borrowing, and each prepayment
thereof, shall be made as provided in the AutoBorrow Agreement.
(c)    Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in
its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which
hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its
behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then
outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall
be deemed to be a Revolving Credit Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in
accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum
and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but
subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the
Borrower with a copy

-47-

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

of the applicable Revolving Credit Loan Notice promptly after delivering such
notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to
its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Revolving Credit Loan
Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and
the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the
applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the
Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 12:00 noon on the day specified in
such Revolving Credit Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii),
each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base
Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit
the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.
(vii)    If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a
Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request
for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall
be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund
its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to
Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.
(viii)    If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such
Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time
specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to
recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand,
such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is
required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing
Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate
and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or
similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the
foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as
aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit
Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant
Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender
submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any
amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(v)    Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase
and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by
any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the
Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or
continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each
Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such
funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation
of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided
herein.

-48-

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

(d)    Repayment of Participations. (i) At any time after any Lender has
purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing
Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing
Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Applicable 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 10.05 (including
pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its
discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable
Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon
from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per
annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such
demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders
under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.
(e)    Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be
responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans.
Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to
this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing
Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for
the account of the Swing Line Lender.
(f)    Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all
payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly
to the Swing Line Lender.
(g)    Termination of the Swing Line Loan Facility. The Swing Line Lender may
terminate and/or suspend the Swing Line Loan facility in accordance with the
AutoBorrow Agreement. Upon any such termination, the Swing Line Sublimit shall
automatically reduce to zero.
(h)    Acknowledgment. The Borrower and the Swing Line Lender acknowledge and
agree that this Agreement constitutes the “Swingline Facility” as defined in the
AutoBorrow Agreement.
2.05.    Prepayments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon notice to the
Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay
Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided
that (A) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than
(1) 12:00 noon three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar
Rate Loans and (2) 12:00 noon on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (B)
any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $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 Applicable Percentage of
such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall
make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be

-49-

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

due and payable on the date specified therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
subject to payment of any amounts required under Section 3.05, the Borrower may
rescind or postpone any notice of prepayment if such prepayment would have
resulted from a refinancing of the Loans, which refinancing shall not have been
consummated or shall have otherwise been delayed. Any prepayment of a Revolving
Credit Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid,
together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject
to Section 2.16, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Revolving Credit
Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.
(b)    Mandatory. If for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed
the Aggregate Commitments at such time, the Borrower 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. Any mandatory prepayments hereunder shall
be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid together with any
additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.
2.06.    Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower may, upon notice
to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, the Letter of
Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit, or from time to time permanently
reduce the Aggregate Commitments, 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 11:00 a.m. five Business Days (or such
shorter period of time as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole
discretion) prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial
reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple
of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or
reduce (A) the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any
concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the
Aggregate Commitments, (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. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of
any termination or reduction of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, Swing Line
Sublimit or the Aggregate Commitments under this Section 2.06. Upon any
reduction of the Aggregate Commitments, the Commitment of each Lender shall be
reduced by such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such reduction amount. All
fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate
Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.
2.07.    Repayment of Loans. (a) Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall
repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of all
Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date.
(b)    Swing Line Loans. The Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the
earlier to occur of (i) demand therefor by the Swing Line Lender and, (ii) the
Maturity Date.
2.08.    Interest. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), (i) each
Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof for each Interest Period at a

-50-

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

rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the
Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate; 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 (A) the Base Rate plus
(B) the Applicable Rate less 0.50%.
(b)    (i)    If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due,
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 Borrower
under any Loan Document is not paid when due (after giving effect to any
applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders such amount shall
thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times
equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(iii)    Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default
exists (other than as set forth in clauses (b)(i) and (b)(ii) above), the
Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding
Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times
equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(iv)    Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on
past due interest) shall be due and payable upon 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.
2.09.    Fees. In addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.03(h) and
(i):
(a)    Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a
commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by
which the Aggregate Commitments exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of
Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations,
subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.16. 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 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 June 30, 2013, and on the last day of the Availability Period. The
commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly

-51-

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

in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Fee Rate during any
quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the
Applicable Fee Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such
Applicable Fee Rate was in effect.
(b)    Other Fees. (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Arrangers and the
Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and
at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when
paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
(ii)    The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been
separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.
Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any
reason whatsoever.
2.10.    Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable
Rate. (a) 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 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All
other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day
year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as
applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).
Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and
shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the
Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same
day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one
day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee
hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error.
(b)    If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the
financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or
the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as
calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a
proper calculation of the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio would have resulted
in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and
retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, promptly on demand
by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed
entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower 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 Section 2.03(c)(iii), 2.03(h) or
2.08(b) or under Article VIII. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph
shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of
all other Obligations hereunder.
2.11.    Evidence of Debt. (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall
be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by
the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or
records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be
conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by
the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure

-52-

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

to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise
affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with
respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts
and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the
request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall
execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note,
which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or
records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note with 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)
above, 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.
2.12.    Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. (a) General. All
payments to be made by the Borrower 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 Borrower
hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s
Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m. on
the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to
each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided
herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such
Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after
1:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any
applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made
by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall
be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be
reflected on computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(b)    (i)    Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 11:00 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 Borrower
a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its
share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then
the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in
immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but
excluding the date of

-53-

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

payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made
by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by
the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily
charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in
the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable
to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to
the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such
interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of
the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid
shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by
the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have
against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the
Administrative Agent.
(ii)    Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower 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 Borrower will not make such
payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such
payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the
amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment,
then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees
to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so
distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds
with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is
distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower 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 Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the
conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not
satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative
Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to
such Lender, without interest.
(d)    Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder
to make Revolving Credit Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and
Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several
and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such
participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required
hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to
do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any
other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its
payment under Section 10.04(c).

-54-

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

(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.
2.13.    Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any
right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (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 in respect of any of the Facilities 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 Revolving Credit 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 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 Borrower pursuant to and in accordance
with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds
arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) the application of Cash
Collateral provided for in Section 2.15, or (C) 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

-55-

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

Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower
or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall
apply).
The Borrower 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 the
Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of
such participation.
2.14.    Increase in Commitments. (a) Request for Increase. Provided there
exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly
notify the Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time, request an increase in
the Aggregate Commitments by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding
$100,000,000; provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a
minimum amount of $25,000,000, and (ii) the Borrower may make a maximum of two
such requests. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation
with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each
Lender is requested to respond.
(b)    Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative
Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its
Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than
its Applicable Percentage of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding
within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its
Commitment.
(c)    Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’
responses to each request made hereunder. At any time that it seeks an increase
in the Aggregate Commitments, the Borrower may also invite one or more Persons
who are not Lenders to become Lenders (each, an “Additional Lender”), subject to
the approval of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line
Lender, pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent and its counsel.
(d)    Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Commitments are
increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Revolving Credit Increase
Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation
of such increase and the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date.
(e)    Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such
increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate
of Holdings and each Loan Party dated as of the Revolving Credit Increase
Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible
Officer of Holdings and such Loan Party (x) certifying and attaching the
resolutions adopted by Holdings and such Loan Party approving or consenting to
such increase, and (y) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and
after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties
contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all
material respects (except for any such representations and warranties with a
materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualification, which shall be true and
correct in all respects)

-56-

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

on and as of the Revolving Credit 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 2.14, the representations and warranties contained
in subsections (a) and (c) 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, and (B) no Default exists. The Borrower shall prepay any Revolving
Credit Loans outstanding on the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date (and
pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent
necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans ratable with any
revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the
Commitments under this Section.
(f)    Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in
Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.
2.15.    Cash Collateral.
(a)    Certain Credit Support Events. If (i) the L/C Issuer has honored any full
or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has
resulted in an L/C Borrowing, (ii) as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date,
any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, (iii) the Borrower shall
be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 8.02(c), or (iv)
there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall immediately (in the
case of clause (iii) above) or within one Business Day (in all other cases)
following any request by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, provide
Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral
Amount (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause
(iv) above, after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral
provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(b)    Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, 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 2.15(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 Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the
Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash
Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. All Cash
Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit)
shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of
America. The Borrower shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all
customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in
connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.
(c)    Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.15 or
Sections 2.03, 2.05, 2.16 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held
and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C

-57-

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

Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash
Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such
obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided,
prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.
(d)    Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to
reduce Fronting Exposure or 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) that Cash Collateral furnished by
or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a
Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this
Section 2.15 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.03) 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.
2.16.    Defaulting Lenders. (a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender,
then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the
extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i)    Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall
be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and
Section 10.01.
(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 2.15; fourth, as the Borrower
may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding
of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its
portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the
Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to
(x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with
respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the L/C
Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with
respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance
with Section 2.15; 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

-58-

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

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 Borrower as a result
of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower
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 2.16(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
2.16(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 Borrower 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 2.15.
(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 Borrower 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.
(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

-59-

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

respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting
Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the
Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time,
the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such
conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause
the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed
such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. 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 Borrower 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 2.15.
(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, 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
Revolving Credit 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 2.16(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 Borrower while that Lender
was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent
otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from
Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of
any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
ARTICLE III.    
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
3.01.    Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on
Account of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any
Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or
withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any
applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable
Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any
such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall
be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full
amount deducted or withheld to the relevant

-60-

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

Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an
Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be
increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made
(including such deductions and withholdings of Indemnified Taxes applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or
withholding been made.
(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions
of subsection (a) above, the Borrower 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) The Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify
each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after
demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including
Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable
under this Section 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be
withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any 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; provided, however, the Borrower shall not be required to
indemnify a Recipient pursuant to this Section 3.01(c) for any Indemnified Taxes
unless such Recipient makes written demand on the Borrower for indemnification
no later than nine months after the earlier of (i) the date on which the
relevant Governmental Authority makes written demand upon such Recipient for
payment of such Indemnified Taxes, and (ii) the date on which such Recipient has
made payment of such Indemnified Taxes (except that, if the Indemnified Taxes
imposed or asserted giving rise to such claims are retroactive, then the
nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on
behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower
shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make
payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount
which a Lender or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the
Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(ii) below.
(ii)    Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make
payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, to (x) the
Administrative Agent for any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but
only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the
Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrower to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower, as applicable, for 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 and the Borrower, as
applicable, for any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable
or paid by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower 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

-61-

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

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 under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).
(d)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as
provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may
be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental
Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return reporting such payment
or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be.
(e)    Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.
(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly
completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to
backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion,
execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation
set forth in Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(C) below) shall not be
required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or
submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or
expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such
Lender.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed
originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S.
federal backup withholding tax;
(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies
as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such
Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter

-62-

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

upon the reasonable request of the Borrower 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 originals of IRS Form W-8BEN
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
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 E-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 Borrower 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
originals of IRS Form W-8BEN;
(4)    to the extent that a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed
originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a
U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or
Exhibit E-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each
beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a
partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender
are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a
U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 on
behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; or
(5)    executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a
basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding tax
together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by
applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine
the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(C)    if a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject
to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient 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
Recipient shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the

-63-

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

time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by
applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code)
and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such
Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to
determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for
purposes of this clause (C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA
after the date of this Agreement.
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
Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do
so.
(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 the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional
amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount
equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or
additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 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 Borrower, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees
to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or
other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the 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
Borrower pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the
Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would
have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such
refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the
indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had
never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient
to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its
taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
(g)    Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “Lender”
includes any L/C Issuer and the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.
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

-64-

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

Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or
discharge of all other Obligations.
3.02.    Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful,
or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any
Lender or its Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is
determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge
interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has
imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or
sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on
notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent,
(i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or
to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii)
if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base
Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the
Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate
Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined
by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component
of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination
no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon
demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if
applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans
(the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary
to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without
reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last
day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to
maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender
may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such
notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest
rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent 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 Borrower shall also
pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
3.03.    Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that
for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a
conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being
offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable
amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any
requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in
connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar
Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar
Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of
funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower
and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or
maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (y) in the event of a
determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar
Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate
component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until
the Administrative Agent (upon

-65-

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

the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of
such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be
deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing
of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.
3.04.    Increased Costs. (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law
shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by,
any Lender 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 of maintaining
its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or
the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit
(or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of
Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such
Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other
amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrower will
pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case 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), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered.

-66-

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

(c)    Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C
Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender
or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in
subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C
Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 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 Borrower shall not be
required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions
suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving
rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C
Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in
Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the
nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof).
3.05.    Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate
such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense
incurred by it as a result of:
(a)    any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other
than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period
for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of
acceleration, or otherwise);
(b)    any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such
Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other
than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or
(c)    any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day
of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 10.13;
including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from
the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or
from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.
The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such
Lender in connection with the foregoing.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under
this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar
Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit
or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable
amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was
in fact so funded.
3.06.    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) Designation of a
Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
3.04, or requires the Borrower

-67-

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

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 Borrower 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 Borrower hereby agrees 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 Borrower is 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 Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.
3.07.    Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III
shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other
Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.02.    Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and
performance by Holdings and each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which such
Person is or is to be a party have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate or other organizational action, and do not and will not (a) contravene
the terms of any of such Person’s Organization Documents; (b) result in the
creation of any Lien (other than the Lien created pursuant to the Loan

and contingencies, and that actual results during the period or periods covered
by any such forecasts may differ significantly from the projected results and
such differences may be material and (ii) no representation is made with respect
to information of a general economic or general industry nature).

Effect.
5.07.    No Default. Neither Holdings nor any Restricted Entity is in default
under or with respect to, or a party to, any Contractual Obligation that could,

by this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
5.08.    Ownership of Real Property; Liens. Each Restricted Entity has good
record and indefeasible title in fee simple to, or valid leasehold interests in,
all real and personal property necessary or used in the ordinary conduct of its
business, except for defects that, individually or in the aggregate, (i) do not
materially interfere with the ordinary conduct of its business or (ii) could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of such property
is subject to any Lien, except for Liens permitted by Section 7.01.
5.09.    Environmental Compliance. (a) The Restricted Entities in the ordinary
course of business evaluate the effect of existing Environmental Laws and claims
alleging potential liability or responsibility for violation of any
Environmental Law on their respective businesses, operations and properties, and
as a result thereof the Borrower has reasonably concluded that such
Environmental Laws and claims could not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b)    None of the properties currently or formerly owned or operated by any
Restricted Entity is listed or proposed for listing on the NPL or on the CERCLIS
or any analogous foreign, state or local list. Except as could not, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,
(i) there are no and never have been any surface impoundments, septic tanks,

treated, stored or disposed on any property currently owned or operated by any
Restricted Entity or, to the best of the knowledge of the Borrower, on any
property formerly owned or operated by any Restricted Entity, (ii) there is no

Entity is undertaking, and no Restricted Entity has completed, either
individually or together with other potentially responsible parties, any
investigation or assessment or remedial or response action relating to any
actual or threatened release, discharge or disposal of Hazardous Materials at

any Governmental Authority or the requirements of any Environmental Law; and
(ii) all Hazardous Materials generated, used, treated, handled or stored at, or
transported to or from, any property currently or formerly owned or operated by
any Restricted Entity have been disposed of in a manner not reasonably expected
to result in material liability to any Restricted Entity.

-75-

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

(d)    Except for matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) the Restricted
Entities are and have been in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws
and (ii) the Restricted Entities are not subject to any pending or threatened
claim or proceeding relating to Environmental Laws or Hazardous Materials.
(e)    Except for matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not

and operation of its real properties and the conduct of its Business, which are
in full force and effect; (ii) have been and are in compliance with all terms
and conditions of such Environmental Permits; and (iii) have not received
written notice of a violation or alleged violation of any Environmental Permit,
and.
5.10.    Insurance. The properties of the Restricted Entities are insured with
financially sound and reputable insurers, in such amounts, with such deductibles
and covering such risks (including as to self-insurance) as are customarily
carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties
in localities where the Restricted Entities operate.
5.11.    Taxes. Holdings and the Restricted Entities have filed (or caused to be
filed) all Federal, state and other material tax returns required to be filed,
and have paid all material Federal, state and other taxes, assessments, fees and
other governmental charges levied or imposed upon them or their properties,
income or assets otherwise due and payable, except those which are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for
which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP. There is no
proposed tax assessment against Holdings or any Restricted Entity that would, if
made, have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and revenues on the
books of Holdings and the Restricted Entities are adequate. Neither Holdings nor
any Restricted Entity is party to any tax sharing agreement except as set forth
on Schedule 5.11.
5.12.    ERISA Compliance. (a) Each Plan is in compliance with the applicable
provisions of ERISA, the Code and other Federal or state laws, except for
failures to be in such compliance that, individually or in the aggregate, could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Pension Plan
that is intended to be a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has
received a favorable determination or opinion letter from the Internal Revenue
Service to the effect that the form of such Plan is qualified under
Section 401(a) of the Code and the trust related thereto has been determined by
the Internal Revenue Service to be exempt from federal income tax under
Section 501(a) of the Code, or an application for such a letter is currently
being processed by the Internal Revenue Service. To the knowledge of the
Borrower, nothing has occurred that would prevent or cause the loss of such
tax-qualified status.
(b)    There are no pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened
claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with
respect to any Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. There has been no prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary

Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency), and otherwise
comply with the Flood Insurance Regulations. In addition, to the extent the
Borrower or any Subsidiary fails to obtain or maintain satisfactory flood

third-party insurance as to which the insurer has been notified of the potential
claim and does not dispute coverage), or (ii) any one or more non-monetary final
judgments that have, or could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in
the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect and, in either case, (A) enforcement
proceedings are commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or order, or (B)
there is a period of 30 consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement of
such judgment, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, is not in effect; or
(i)    ERISA. (i) An ERISA Event occurs which has resulted or could reasonably
be expected to result in liability of the Borrower under Title IV of ERISA to a
Pension Plan, Multiemployer Plan or the PBGC in an aggregate amount which would
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) the
Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate fails to pay when due, after the expiration of
any applicable grace period, any installment payment with respect to its
withdrawal liability under Section 4201 of ERISA under a Multiemployer Plan in
an aggregate amount which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect; or
(j)    Invalidity of Loan Documents. Any material provision of any Loan
Document, at any time after its execution and delivery and for any reason other
than as expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder or satisfaction in full of
all the Obligations, ceases to be in full force and effect; or Holdings or any
Loan Party contests in any manner the validity or enforceability of any
provision of any Loan Document; or Holdings or any Loan Party denies that it has
any or further liability or obligation under any provision of any Loan Document,
or purports to revoke, terminate or rescind any provision of any Loan Document;
or

otherwise than in accordance with the terms thereof or with the express prior
written agreement, consent or approval of the Lenders; or
(m)    Material Contracts. (i) Any default or event of default shall have
occurred under any of the Material Contracts which has not been cured within any
applicable grace period and which default or event of default could,
individually or in the aggregate with any other defaults or events of default
under the Material Contracts, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, or (ii) any of the Material Contracts shall have terminated prior to its
stated or scheduled expiration or maturity, which termination, individually or
in the aggregate with any other terminations of Material Contracts, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

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

8.02.    Remedies upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the
consent of, the Required Lenders, take any or all of the following actions:
(a)    declare the commitment of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of
the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions to be terminated, whereupon such
commitments and obligation shall be terminated;
(b)    declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all
interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable
hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable,
without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which
are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower;
(c)    require that the Borrower Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an
amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect thereto); and
(d)    exercise on behalf of itself, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer all rights
and remedies available to it, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under the Loan
Documents;
provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an
order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the
United States, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of
the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the
unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other
amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the
obligation of the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as
aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act
of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
8.03.    Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in
Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and
payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash
Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), any amounts
received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to the provisions of
Sections 2.15 and 2.16, be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following
order:
First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,
indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and
disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under
Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;
Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,
indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of
Credit Fees) payable to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer (including fees, charges
and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the L/C Issuer
(including fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of any
Lender or the L/C Issuer) arising under the Loan Documents and amounts payable
under Article III, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts
described in this clause Second payable to them;

-108-

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

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and
unpaid Letter of Credit Fees and interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings and other
Obligations arising under the Loan Documents, ratably among the Lenders and the
L/C Issuer in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause
Third payable to them;
Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid
principal of the Loans, L/C Borrowings and Obligations then owing under Secured
Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements, ratably among the
Lenders, 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;
Fifth, 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 Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.15;and
Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly
paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.
Subject to Section 2.03(c) and 2.15, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the
aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above
shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur.
If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit
have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied
to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.
Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with
amounts received from such Guarantor or its assets, but appropriate adjustments
shall be made with respect to payments from Holdings and other Loan Parties to
preserve the allocation to 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.
ARTICLE IX.    
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
9.01.    Appointment and Authority. (a) Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer
hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the
Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes
the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such
powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms

-109-

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

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 the Borrower shall
not 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 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 Holdings or any of the
Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and
discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the
Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and
attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05
for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion
thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights
and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be
entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X
(including Section 10.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and
attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if
set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
9.02.    Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent
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 the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the
Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the
Lenders.
9.03.    Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any
duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other
Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(a)    shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless
of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b)    shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent
is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided

-110-

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

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;
and
(c)    shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to
disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that
is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent
or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(d)    The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or
such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the
Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by 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 Borrower, a Lender or the L/C Issuer.
(e)    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 (v) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other
than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent.
9.04.    Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any
notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting
or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed,
sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent
also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed
by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability
for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to
the making of a Loan, or the issuance, 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

-111-

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

Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall
not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the
advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
9.05.    Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all
of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other
Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may
perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this
Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective
activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided
for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 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 non appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent
acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such
sub-agents.
9.06.    Resignation of Administrative Agent.
(a)    The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation
to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice
of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with
the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in
the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United
States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 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. Whether or not
a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in
accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)    If the Person serving as 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 Borrower and
such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with
the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders)
(the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become
effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
(c)    With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective
Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents 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

-112-

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

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 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 Borrower to a successor Administrative
Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise
agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring 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 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.
(d)    Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to
this Section shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line
Lender. 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 Borrower of a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder (which
successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (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.
9.07.    Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and
the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon
the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and
the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their
Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from
time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or
not taking action under or based upon this Agreement,

-113-

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

any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.
9.08.    No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
none of the joint book managers, the Arrangers, the syndication agent or the
documentation agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers,
duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a
Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder.
9.09.    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency
of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding
relative to Holdings or any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective
of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and
payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower)
shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise
(a)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C
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 10.04) allowed in such judicial
proceeding; and
(b)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent
and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent
any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent
to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C
Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to
authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender
or the L/C Issuer or in any such proceeding.
9.10.    Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Without limiting the provisions of
Section 9.09, the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Cash
Management Bank and a potential Hedge Bank) and the L/C Issuer irrevocably
authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

-114-

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

(a)    to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the
Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (A)
contingent indemnification obligations and (B) obligations and liabilities under
Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which
arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank
shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit
(other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made), (ii) that is 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, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in
accordance with Section 10.01;
(b)    to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such
property that is permitted by Section 7.01(j);
(c)    to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the
Subsidiary Guaranty if such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary of
the Borrower as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents (or
is re-designated as an Immaterial Subsidiary); and
(d)    to release Holdings from its obligations under the Holdings Guaranty upon
expiration or termination of such Guaranty in accordance with its terms or
otherwise as permitted under the Loan Documents.
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 Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty
pursuant to this Section 9.10. In each case as specified in this Section 9.10,
the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to
Holdings or the applicable Loan Party such documents as Holdings or 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 Subsidiary
Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary 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 Holdings or 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.
9.11.    Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements. No
Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 8.03,
the Holdings Guaranty, the Stripes Holdings Guaranty, the Subsidiary Guaranty or
any Collateral by virtue of

-115-

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

the provisions hereof or of the Holdings Guaranty, the Stripes Holdings Guaranty
or the Subsidiary 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 or
Hedge Bank, as the case may be.
ARTICLE X.    
MISCELLANEOUS
10.01.    Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by
Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective
unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders and Holdings, the Borrower or
the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the
Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in
the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided,
however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(including any change in any applicable defined term) used in determining the
Applicable Rate that would result in a reduction of any interest rate on any
Loan or any fee payable hereunder without the written consent of each Lender
entitled to such amount; provided, however, that only the consent of the
Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or
to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest or Letter of Credit Fees
at the Default Rate;

which case such release may be made by the Administrative Agent acting alone);
and provided, further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by the L/C Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above,
affect the rights or duties of the L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any Issuer
Document relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) no
amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swing
Line Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or
duties of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement; (iii) no amendment, waiver
or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in
addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (iv)
the Fee Letter and the AutoBorrow Agreement may be amended, or rights or
privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have
any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder
(and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of
all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the
applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the
Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the
consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring
the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any
Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected
Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent, as applicable, and the Borrower may amend,
modify or supplement this Agreement or any other Loan Document to cure any
ambiguity, error, omission, defect or inconsistency without any further action
or consent of any other party to any Loan Document, so long as such amendment,
modification or supplement does not materially and adversely affect the rights
of any Lender.
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 all or
all affected Lenders and that has been approved by the Required Lenders, the
Borrower may replace such non-consenting Lender in accordance with Section
10.13; 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 Borrower to be made pursuant to this
paragraph).

expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of
Holdings’, the Borrower’s, any other Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s
transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party;
provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to
the Borrower, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person for indirect,
special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or
actual damages).

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

cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all
times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the
content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender
or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures
and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws,

purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were
not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or
followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms
thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof.
The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C

-119-

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

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

notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may
be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby
consents to such recording.
10.03.    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; 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.
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 Holdings or 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 10.08 (subject to the
terms of Section 2.13), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or
appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a
proceeding relative to Holdings or 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, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and
remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any
demand for

the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer (including the fees,
charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any
Lender or the L/C Issuer), in connection with the enforcement or protection of
its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with Loans made or
Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses
incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such
Loans or Letters of Credit; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to
pay the fees and expenses of more than one principal outside counsel for such
Persons taken as a whole (which shall be the Administrative Agent's counsel), or
if reasonably necessary, more than one local counsel for such Persons taken as a
whole in any relevant jurisdiction (as reasonably determined by the
Administrative Agent), unless there is an actual or reasonable likelihood for a
conflict of interest among such Persons (as determined in good faith by any of
such Persons), in which case, all similarly situated parties shall be
represented by one firm of outside counsel for such group of similarly situated
parties taken as a whole (and one local counsel for such Persons, taken as a
whole, in any relevant jurisdiction if reasonably necessary, as reasonably
determined by such Persons).

being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from,
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including
the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee (which may
include the allocated cost of internal counsel)), incurred by any Indemnitee or
asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including Holdings, the Borrower
or any other Loan Party) other than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or
delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto
of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the
Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only,
the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan
or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom
(including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a
Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do
not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual
or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property
owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
Environmental Liability arising with respect to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation
or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort
or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Holdings, the
Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a
party thereto, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN
PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to
the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses
(x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by Holdings,
the Borrower

-121-

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

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
Holdings, the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable
judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction; provided further that the Borrower shall not be required to pay
the fees and expenses of more than one principal outside counsel for such
Persons taken as a whole (which shall be the Administrative Agent's counsel), or
if reasonably necessary, more than one local counsel for such Persons taken as a
whole in any relevant jurisdiction (as reasonably determined by the
Administrative Agent), unless there is an actual or reasonable likelihood for a
conflict of interest among such Persons (as determined in good faith by any of
such Persons), in which case, all similarly situated parties shall be
represented by one firm of outside counsel for such group of similarly situated
parties taken as a whole (and one local counsel for such Persons, taken as a
whole, in any relevant jurisdiction if reasonably necessary, as reasonably
determined by such Persons).
(c)    Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason
fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of
this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent
thereof), the L/C Issuer, 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 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 Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, and
acknowledges 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 unintended recipients of any information or
other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee
through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems
in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual
damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction.

-122-

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

(e)    Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later
than ten Business Days after demand therefor (which shall include an invoice
setting forth such amounts in reasonable detail).
(f)    Survival. The agreements in this Section and the indemnity provisions of
Section 10.02(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.
10.05.    Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of
the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender,
or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of
setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside
or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be
repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of
such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender
and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon
demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered
from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date
of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the
Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders
and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the
payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
10.06.    Successors and Assigns. (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,
except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights

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 10.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with
the provisions of Section 10.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a
security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.06(f) (and any other
attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).
Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer
upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d)
of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related
Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)    Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
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 10.06(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in
Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment
shall be subject to the following conditions:

-123-

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

(i)    Minimum Amounts.
(A)    in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the
case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund,
no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(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, unless each of the Administrative Agent
and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower
otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed);
(ii)    Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment
assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the Swing Line
Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans;
(iii)    Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment
except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in
addition:
(A)    the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld) 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 the Borrower shall
be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object
thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business
Days after having received notice thereof;
(B)    the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a
Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund
with respect to such Lender; and
(C)    the consent of the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender shall be required
for any assignment.
(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

-124-

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

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 Borrower, Holdings or their 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.
(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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the
applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the
Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby
irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities
then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer
or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund
as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in
Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable
Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of
rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective
under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph,
then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for
all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to
this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 10.04 with
respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such
assignment; 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 Borrower (at its expense)
shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or
transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not
comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a
sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in
accordance with Section 10.06(d).

-125-

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

(c)    Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an
agent of the Borrower (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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms
hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)    Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any
Person (other than a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender or Holdings or the
Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the
Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing
Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations
and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or
instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide
that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to
approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such
Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,
waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01
that affects such Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant
also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a
Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though
it were a Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible
for the indemnity under Section 10.04(c) without regard to the existence of any
participation.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to
Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to
the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section (it being understood that
the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall be delivered to the
Lender who sells the participation) to the same extent as if it were a Lender
and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the
provisions of Sections 3.06 and 10.13 as if it were an assignee under paragraph
(b) of this Section and (B) shall

-126-

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

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 had the
participation not been sold. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at
the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with
the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Sections 3.06 and 10.13 with
respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant
also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a
Lender; provided 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 non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a
register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the
principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the
Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant
Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or
any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any
Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any
commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan
Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary
to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is
in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury
Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent
manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded
in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes
of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to 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 (or any
other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender); provided that no such
pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto.
(f)    Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank
of America assigns all of its Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to
Section 10.06(b), Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower
and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the
Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as
L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from
among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder;
provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor
shall affect the resignation of 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

-127-

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

participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon
the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the
case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in
substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such
succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to
effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such
Letters of Credit.
10.07.    Treatment 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,
provided that any Person that discloses any Information pursuant to this clause
(c) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Borrower, to the
extent permitted by applicable law or regulation, advance notice of such
disclosure; provided that, the failure to deliver such advance notice shall not
result in any liability with respect to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or
the L/C Issuer; (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the
exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i)
any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant
in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible
Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(c) or (ii) any actual
or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other
transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and
its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) on a confidential
basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its
Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP
Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and
monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the
credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the consent of the Borrower or
(i) 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 not known to such recipient
to be breaching confidentiality obligations to Holdings or its Subsidiaries. For
purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the
Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the 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 the Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided that, in
the case of information received from the Borrower 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

-128-

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

to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own
confidential information.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges
that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning
the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed
compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and
(c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with
applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.
10.08.    Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates
is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any
time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such
Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account
of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or
hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such
Lender or the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether
or not such Lender, L/C Issuer or Affiliate shall have made any demand under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the
Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or
Affiliate of such Lender or the L/C 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 2.16
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, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall
provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in
reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it
exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and
their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights
and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer
or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees
to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such
setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect the validity of such setoff and application.
10.09.    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the
Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest
permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or
any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate,
the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it
exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether
the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or
a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an
expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments
and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in
equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated
term of the Obligations hereunder.

-129-

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

10.10.    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, 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 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.
10.11.    Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and
warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document
delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith
shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such
representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of
any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full
force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall
remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.
10.12.    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality,
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the
parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of
which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this
Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in
this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief
Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or
the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be
in effect only to the extent not so limited.
10.13.    Replacement of Lenders. If the Borrower is entitled to replace a
Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.06, or if any Lender is a
Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole
expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent,
require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with
and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section
10.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments
pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.05) 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:

-130-

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

(a)    the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment
fee (if any) specified in Section 10.06(b);
(b)    such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to
the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the
Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(c)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 3.05 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
(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 Borrower to require such assignment and delegation
cease to apply.
10.14.    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. (a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT
AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF
ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
(b)    SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY
KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR
OTHERWISE, AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER, THE L/C ISSUER, OR ANY
RELATED PARTY OF THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM
OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF
THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY
APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL
CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND
DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT

-131-

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

PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO
AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING SHALL
BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT
OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY
LENDER OR THE L/C ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR
ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.
(c)    WAIVER OF VENUE. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR
HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED
TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE
DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING
IN ANY SUCH COURT.
(d)    SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF
PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS
AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY
OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW
10.15.    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH
OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE
BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
10.16.    No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all
aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with
any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan
Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and
other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent,
the Arrangers, and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between
the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent,
the Arrangers, and the

-132-

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

Lenders, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal,
accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate,
and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the
terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the
other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and each
Lender is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly
agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be
acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its
Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, the
Arrangers nor any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its
Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those
obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and
(iii) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders and their
respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that
involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and
neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, nor any Lender has any
obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases
any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or
any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary
duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
10.17.    Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The
words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in
any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof
(including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic
signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations
on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of
records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect,
validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a
paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as
provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures
in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures
and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act.
10.18.    USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as
hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf
of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of
the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26,
2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of
Holdings and each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender
or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Holdings and each Loan
Party in accordance with the Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a
request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and
other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order
to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” an
anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.

10.19.    Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement amends and restates in its
entirety the Existing Credit Agreement, and from and after the date hereof, the
terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be superseded by the
terms and provisions of this Agreement. The Borrower hereby agrees that (a) the
Existing Indebtedness, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon,

-133-

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

and all accrued and unpaid fees under the Existing Loan Documents shall be
deemed to be Indebtedness of Borrower outstanding under and governed by this
Agreement, and (b) all Liens securing the Existing Indebtedness shall continue
in full force and effect to secure the Obligations.

10.20.    Keepwell. To the extent that it 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, each of Holdings, Stripes Holdings and the
Borrower 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 Section 10.20 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 10.20 shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of the
Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (a)
contingent indemnification obligations and (b) obligations and liabilities under
Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which
arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank
shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit
(other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made). Each Qualified
ECP Guarantor intends this Section 10.20 to constitute, and this Section 10.20
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.
10.21.    ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY
EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE
PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.
