(b)    Term Loan Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in
reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, each Lender
severally agrees to make its portion of a term loan (the “Term Loan”) to the

Term Loan Commitment. Amounts repaid on the Term Loan may not be reborrowed. The
Term Loan may consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, or a combination
thereof, as the Borrower may request.
(c)    Incremental Term Loans. Subject to Section 3.4(c), on the effective date
of the applicable Incremental Term Loan Agreement, each Lender party thereto
severally agrees to make its portion of a term loan (each an “Incremental Term
Loan”) in a single advance to the Borrower in Dollars in the amount of its
Incremental Term Loan Commitment as set forth in such Incremental Term Loan
Agreement. Amounts repaid on the Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
The Incremental Term Loans may consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans,
or a combination thereof, as the Borrower may request.
(d)    Borrowings.

(D) whether the borrowing shall be comprised of Base Rate Loans, Eurodollar
Loans or a combination thereof, and if Eurodollar Loans are requested, the
Interest Period(s) therefor. If the Borrower shall fail to specify in any such
Notice of Borrowing (I) an applicable Interest Period in the case of a
Eurodollar Loan, then such notice shall be deemed to be a request for an
Interest Period of one month, or (II) the type of Loan requested, then such
notice shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan hereunder. The
Administrative Agent shall give notice to each affected Lender promptly upon
receipt of each Notice of Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.1(d)(i), the
contents thereof and each such Lender’s share of any borrowing to be made

$1,000 in excess thereof (or the remaining amount of the Revolving Committed
Amount, if less), and each Eurodollar Loan that is a Revolving Loan shall be in
a minimum aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000 and integral multiples of
$50,000 in excess thereof (or the remaining amount of the Revolving Committed
Amount, if less). Each Base Rate Loan that is a Term Loan or an Incremental Term
Loan shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 and integral

Loan Commitment or Incremental Term Loan

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

Commitment, as applicable, if less), and each Eurodollar Loan that is a Term
Loan or an Incremental Term Loan shall be in a minimum aggregate principal
amount of $2,500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or
the remaining amount of the Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Term Loan
Commitment, as applicable, if less).
(iii)    Advances. Each Lender will make its Applicable Percentage of each
Revolving Loan borrowing, Term Loan borrowing or Incremental Term Loan borrowing
available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower as
specified in Section 3.15, or in such other manner as the Administrative Agent
may specify in writing, by 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the
date specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing in Dollars and in funds
immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be
made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent by crediting the
account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the
amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like
funds as received by the Administrative Agent. The Borrower hereby irrevocably
authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each borrowing
requested pursuant to this Section in immediately available funds by crediting
or wiring such proceeds to the deposit account of the Borrower identified in the
most recent Notice of Account Designation substantially in the form Notice of
Account Designation attached as Exhibit 2.1(d)(iii) (a “Notice of Account

obligated to disburse the portion of the proceeds of any Loan requested pursuant
to this Section to the extent that any Lender has not made available to the
Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of such Loan.

2.2    Letter of Credit Subfacility.
(a)    The Letter of Credit Commitment.
(i)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the Issuing
Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in

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

revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain
Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances, as applicable, to replace Letters of
Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances 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 Issuing Lender shall not issue any Letter of Credit or Bankers’
Acceptance, as applicable, if:
(A)    subject to Section 2.2(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter
of Credit would occur more than eighteen months after the date of issuance,
unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or
(B)    the maturity date of any Bankers’ Acceptance issued under any such
requested Acceptance Credit would occur more than 180 days from the date of
creation of such Bankers’ Acceptance and in any event not later than 60 days
before the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless the Required Lenders have
approved such expiry date;
(C)    the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit or the maturity date
of any Bankers’ Acceptance issued under such requested Letter of Credit would
occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have

(A)    any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator
shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Lender from issuing
such Letter of Credit or any related Bankers’ Acceptance, or any law applicable
to the Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing
Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Lender refrain from, the
issuance of letters of credit or related bankers’ acceptances generally or such
Letter of Credit or any related Bankers’ Acceptance in particular or shall
impose upon the Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit or related
Bankers’ Acceptance any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which
the Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the
Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss,
cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the
Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it;
(B)    the issuance of such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance would
violate one or more generally applicable policies of the Issuing Lender;
(C)    such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance contains any provisions for
automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or

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

(D)    any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless (i) the Issuing
Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral,
reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender (in its sole discretion) with such
Lender, or (ii) the Borrower has delivered Cash Collateral or entered into
another arrangement with the Issuing Lender that is reasonably satisfactory to
the Issuing Lender (in its sole discretion), to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s
actual or potential (with respect to such requested Letter of Credit or Bankers’
Acceptance) Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 3.18(a)(iv)) with
respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit or
Bankers’ Acceptance then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit or
Bankers’ Acceptance and all other LOC Obligations as to which the Issuing Lender
has actual Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.
(iv)    The Issuing Lender shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the Issuing
Lender would not be permitted at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its
amended form under the terms hereof.
(v)    The Issuing Lender shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of
Credit if (A) the Issuing Lender would have no obligation at such time to issue
such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the
beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to
such Letter of Credit.
(vi)    The Issuing Lender shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to
any Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances issued by it and the documents
associated therewith, and the Issuing Lender shall have all of the benefits and
immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article X with respect to
any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Lender in connection with
Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances issued by it or proposed to be issued
by it and LOC Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit and Bankers’
Acceptances as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article X
included the Issuing Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as
additionally provided herein with respect to the Issuing Lender.
(b)    Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit;
Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.
(i)    Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be,
upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the Issuing Lender (whether paper
or electronic) (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 or approved electronically by a user designated by a
Responsible Officer. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the
Issuing Lender 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 Issuing Lender 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 (whether paper or electronic) shall specify in form and
detail satisfactory to the Issuing Lender: (A) the proposed issuance date of the
requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and
currency 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 or presentation thereunder; (F) the full text of any
certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing or
presentation thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of
Credit; and (H) such other matters as the Issuing Lender may reasonably require.
In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit,
such Letter of Credit Application

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

shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Issuing Lender (A) the
Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof
(which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and
(D) such other matters as the Issuing Lender may require. Additionally, the
Borrower shall furnish to the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent such
other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit
issuance or amendment, including any LOC Documents, as the Issuing Lender or the
Administrative Agent may reasonably require.
(ii)    Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the Issuing
Lender 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 Issuing Lender will provide the
Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Issuing Lender has received
written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Credit 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 V shall not be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender 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 Issuing Lender’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 Issuing Lender a Participation Interest in such Letter of Credit in an
amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage time the
amount of such Letter of Credit. Immediately upon the creation of each Bankers’
Acceptance, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Lender a Participation
Interest in such Bankers’ Acceptance in an amount equal to the product of such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Bankers’ Acceptance.
(iii)    If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit
Application, the Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a
Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an
“Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter
of Credit must permit the Issuing Lender 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 Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall not be required to make a
specific request to the Issuing Lender 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 Issuing Lender 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 Issuing Lender shall not
permit any such extension if (A) the Issuing Lender 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 2.2(a) or otherwise), or (B)
it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before
the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1)
from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to
permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the
Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.2
is not then satisfied, and in each case directing the Issuing Lender 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 Issuing Lender 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.
(iv)    Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice
of a drawing or, with respect to any Acceptance Credit, presentation of
documents, under such Letter of Credit, or any presentation for payment of a
Bankers’ Acceptance the Issuing Lender shall notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in
an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender in such
Alternative Currency, unless (A) the Issuing Lender (at its option) shall have
specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B)
in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the
Borrower shall have notified the Issuing Lender promptly following receipt of
the notice of such drawing for payment that the Borrower will reimburse the
Issuing Lender in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a
drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the
Issuing Lender shall notify the Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount
of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than
11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of
Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, as applicable, (each such date, an “Honor Date”),
the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent
in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing or Bankers’ Acceptance, as
applicable and in the applicable currency; provided, that the Borrower has
received notice of such payment by 10:00 a.m. on such Honor Date, otherwise the
Borrower shall make such payment not later than 11:00 a.m. on the following
Business Day (together with interest thereon). If the Borrower fails to so
reimburse the Issuing Lender by such time, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed
drawing under such Letter of Credit or payment under such Bankers’ Acceptance
(expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case
of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed
Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage. In such event,
the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan advance
comprised 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 2.1 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but
subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Committed
Amount and the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (other than the delivery of a
Notice of Borrowing). Any notice given by the Issuing Lender or the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.2(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.
(v)    Each Lender (including the Lender acting as Issuing Lender) with a
Revolving Commitment shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(i) make
funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided
for this purpose) for the account of the Issuing Lender at the Administrative
Agent’s office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Dollar
Equivalent of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business
Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to
the provisions of Section 2.2(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 Issuing
Lender.

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

(vi)    With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by
a Revolving Loan advance because the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 cannot
be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
incurred from the Issuing Lender an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the
Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due
and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the
rate specified in Section 3.1. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to
Section 2.2(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in
such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in
satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.2.
(vii)    Until each Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to
this Section 2.2(c) to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any amount drawn under
any Letter of Credit or payments made on any Bankers’ Acceptance, interest in
respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely
for the account of the Issuing Lender.
(viii)    Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to
reimburse the Issuing Lender for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit and
payments made on Bankers’ Acceptances, as contemplated by this Section 2.2(c),
shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance, including (A) any set‑off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right which such Lender may have against the Issuing Lender, the Borrower
or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance
of a Default or Event of 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 Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.2(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (other than
delivery by the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing). No such making of an L/C
Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to
reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by the Issuing
Lender under any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, together with interest
as provided herein.
(ix)    If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Issuing Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2(c) by the time
specified in Section 2.2(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of
this Credit Agreement, the Issuing 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 Issuing Lender at a
rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the Issuing Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees
customarily charged by the Issuing 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 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 Issuing Lender submitted to any Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this
clause (vi) shall be presumed correct absent manifest error.
(d)    Repayment of Participations.
(iii)    At any time after the Issuing Lender has made a payment under any
Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance and has received from any Lender such
Lender’s L/C Advance in respect

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

of such payment in accordance with Section 2.2(c), if the Administrative Agent
receives for the account of the Issuing Lender any payment in respect of the
related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the
Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by
the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such
Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by
the Administrative Agent.
(iv)    If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(i) is required to be returned
under any of the circumstances described in Section 3.14 (including pursuant to
any settlement entered into by the Issuing Lender in its discretion), each
Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing
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 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 Credit Party Obligations and the
termination of this Credit Agreement.
(e)    Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the
Issuing Lender for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and each payment
under any Bankers’ Acceptance 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 Credit Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(iii)    any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit or
Bankers’ Acceptance, this Credit Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument
relating thereto;
(iv)    the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set‑off, defense or other
right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any
beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance
(or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be
acting), the Issuing Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this
Credit Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of
Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance or any agreement or instrument relating thereto,
or any unrelated transaction;
(v)    any draft, demand, certificate or other document or endorsement presented
under or in connection with such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance 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 or obtain payment under such Bankers’
Acceptance;
(vi)    any payment made by the Issuing Lender 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
the Bankruptcy Code or any other debtor relief laws;
(vii)    any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the
availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or in the relative currency markets generally; or

to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any
Subsidiary.

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

provided, that nothing in this Section 2.3(e) shall be deemed a waiver of the
third and fourth sentences in Section 2.3(f).
The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each
amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of
noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the
Borrower will immediately notify the Issuing Lender. The Borrower shall be
conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Issuing Lender and
its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(f)    Role of Issuing Lender. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in
paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit or making any payment under a
Bankers’ Acceptance, the Issuing Lender shall not have any responsibility to
obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents
expressly required by such Letter of Credit and the original Bankers’
Acceptance) 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 Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, any of their
respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the
Issuing Lender 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 Bankers’ Acceptance or LOC 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 or Bankers’
Acceptance; 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 Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective
Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Issuing
Lender, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in
clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.2(e); provided, however, that anything in
such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim
against the Issuing Lender, and the Issuing Lender 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 Issuing Lender’s willful misconduct or gross
negligence or the Issuing Lender’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 or to honor any Bankers’ Acceptance presented for payment in strict
compliance with its terms and conditions unless the Issuing Lender is prevented
or prohibited from so paying as a result of any order or directive from any
court or other Governmental Authority. In furtherance and not in limitation of
the foregoing, the Issuing Lender 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 Issuing Lender shall not be
responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument endorsing,
transferring or assigning or purporting to endorse or transfer or assign a
Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in
whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(g)    Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the
Issuing Lender and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any
such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the
“International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of
International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in
effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit,
and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits,
as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time
of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

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

(h)    Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict
between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the
terms hereof shall control.
(i)    Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter
of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance 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 Issuing Lender hereunder for any and all
drawings under such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, as applicable. The
Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit or Bankers’
Acceptances 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.
(j)    Monthly Reports. Each Issuing Lender shall provide to the Administrative
Agent a list of outstanding Letters of Credit issued by it (together with type
and amounts) on a monthly basis.

2.3    Swingline Loans Subfacility.
(a)    Swingline Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and
in the other Credit Documents and in reliance upon the agreements of the other
Lenders set forth herein, the Swingline Lender shall make loans, unless (x) any
Lender at such time is a Defaulting Lender hereunder and (y) the Swingline
Lender has not entered into arrangements satisfactory to it with the Borrower or
such Defaulting Lender to eliminate the Fronting Exposure with respect to such
Defaulting Lender in which case the Swingline Lender may in its sole discretion
make loans, to the Borrower in Dollars at any time and from time to time from
the Closing Date to but not including the Maturity Date for the Revolving
Commitments, or such earlier date as the Revolving Commitments shall have been
terminated as provided herein (each such loan, a “Swingline Loan” and
collectively, the “Swingline Loans”); provided that (i) the aggregate principal
amount of the Swingline Loans outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the
Swingline Sublimit and (ii) with regard to the Lenders collectively, the amount
of Revolving Obligations outstanding shall not exceed the Revolving Committed
Amount. Prior to the Maturity Date, Swingline Loans may be repaid and reborrowed
by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof.
(b)    Method of Borrowing and Funding Swingline Loans. By no later than
2:30 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time), on the date of the requested
borrowing of Swingline Loans, the Borrower shall telephone the Swingline Lender
as well as submit a Swingline Loan Request to the Swingline Lender in the form
of Exhibit 2.3(b) setting forth (i) the amount of the requested Swingline Loan,
(ii) the date of the requested Swingline Loan and (iii) whether the borrowing
shall be comprised of Loans bearing interest at the Adjusted Base Rate or the
30‑Day Interbank Offered Rate plus the Applicable Rate and complying in all
respects with Section 5.2. The Swingline Lender shall initiate the transfer of
funds representing the Swingline Loan advance to the Borrower by 3:00 p.m. on
the Business Day of the requested borrowing. Each Swingline Loan shall be in a
minimum amount of $100,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to
disburse the proceeds of each borrowing requested pursuant to this Section in
immediately available funds by crediting or wiring such proceeds to the deposit
account of the Borrower identified in the most recent Notice of Account
Designation substantially in the form Notice of Account Designation delivered by
the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or as may be otherwise agreed upon by
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent from time to time.
(c)    Repayment and Participations of Swingline Loans. The Borrower agrees to
repay all Swingline Loans within five Business Days of demand therefor by the
Swingline Lender. Each repayment of a Swingline Loan may be accomplished by
requesting Revolving Loans which request is not subject to the conditions set
forth in Section 5.2. In the event that the Borrower shall fail to timely repay
any Swingline

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

Loan, and in any event upon (i) a request by the Swingline Lender, (ii) the
occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 9.1(f) or (iii) the
acceleration of any Loan or termination of any Commitment pursuant to
Section 9.2, each other Lender with a Revolving Commitment shall irrevocably and
unconditionally purchase (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral
available with respect to the applicable Swingline Loan) from the Swingline
Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in
such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to such other Lender’s Applicable
Percentage thereof, by directly purchasing a participation in such Swingline
Loan in such amount (regardless of whether the conditions precedent thereto set
forth in Section 5.2 are then satisfied, whether or not the Borrower has
submitted a Notice of Borrowing and whether or not the Commitments are then in
effect, any Event of Default exists or all the Loans have been accelerated) and
paying the proceeds thereof to the Swingline Lender at the address provided in
Section 11.1, or at such other address as the Swingline Lender may designate, in
Dollars and in immediately available funds. If such amount is not in fact made
available to the Swingline Lender by any Lender, the Swingline Lender shall be
entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with
accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof, at the
Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the
Swingline Lender’s demand therefor, and until such time as such Lender makes the
required payment, the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have
outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of such unpaid participation
obligation for all purposes of the Credit Documents other than those provisions
requiring the other Lenders to purchase a participation therein. Further, such
Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal
and interest on its Loans, and any other amounts due to it hereunder to the
Swingline Lender to fund Swingline Loans in the amount of the participation in
Swingline Loans that such Lender failed to purchase pursuant to this
Section 2.3(c) until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such
assignment or otherwise). The principal amount of all Swingline Loans shall be
due and payable in full on the Maturity Date, unless accelerated sooner pursuant
to Section 9.2 or required to be repaid by the Swingline Lender pursuant to the
foregoing terms of this Section  2.3(c).
(d)    Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1, each Swingline Loan
shall bear interest, at the option of the Borrower, at a per annum rate equal to
(i) the Adjusted Base Rate or (ii) the 30‑Day Interbank Offered Rate plus the
Applicable Rate. Interest on Swingline Loans shall be payable in arrears on each
applicable Interest Payment Date (or at such other times as may be specified
herein).
(e)    Swingline Note. If requested by the Swingline Lender, the Swingline Loans
made by the Swingline Lender shall be evidenced by a duly executed promissory
note of the Borrower to the Swingline Lender in the face amount of the Swingline
Sublimit and in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.3(e).
(f)    Repayment. All Swingline Loans outstanding on the Maturity Date for the
Revolving Commitments shall be due and payable in full on such date unless
accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 9.2.

ARTICLE III.    

OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO CREDIT FACILITIES
3.1    Default Rate.
(i) Immediately upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of
Default under Section 9.1(a) or (f) or (ii) at the election of the Required
Lenders, upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any other Event of
Default, the principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, interest on the
Loans and any other amounts owing hereunder or under the other Credit Documents
shall bear interest,

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

payable on demand, at a per annum rate 2% greater than the rate which would
otherwise be applicable (or if no rate is applicable, whether in respect of
interest, fees or other amounts, then the Adjusted Base Rate plus 2%).
3.2    Extension and Conversion.
The Borrower shall have the option, on any Business Day, to extend existing
Loans into a subsequent permissible Interest Period or to convert Loans into
Loans of another interest rate type; provided, however, that (i) except as
provided in Section 3.8, Eurodollar Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans
or extended as Eurodollar Loans for new Interest Periods only on the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) without the consent of the Required
Lenders, Eurodollar Loans may be extended, and Base Rate Loans may be converted
into Eurodollar Loans, only if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.2
are satisfied on the date of extension or conversion, (iii) Loans extended as,
or converted into, Eurodollar Loans shall be subject to the terms of the
definition of “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1 and shall be in such
minimum amounts as provided in Section 2.1(d)(ii), (iv) no more than ten
Eurodollar Loans shall be outstanding hereunder at any time (it being understood
that, for purposes hereof, Eurodollar Loans with different Interest Periods
shall be considered as separate Eurodollar Loans, even if they begin on the same
date, although borrowings, extensions and conversions may, in accordance with
the provisions hereof, be combined at the end of existing Interest Periods to
constitute a new Eurodollar Loan with a single Interest Period) and (v) any
request for extension or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan which shall fail to
specify an Interest Period shall be deemed to be a request for an Interest
Period of one month. Each such extension or conversion shall be effected by the
Borrower by giving a Notice of Extension/Conversion (or telephonic notice
promptly confirmed in writing) to the office of the Administrative Agent
specified in specified in Schedule 2.1, or at such other office as the
Administrative Agent may designate in writing, prior to (i) 12:00 Noon
(Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the Business Day of, in the case of the
conversion of a Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan, and (ii) 10:30 a.m.
(Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the second Business Day prior to, in the
case of the extension of a Eurodollar Loan as, or conversion of a Base Rate Loan
into, a Eurodollar Loan, the date of the proposed extension or conversion,
specifying the date of the proposed extension or conversion, the Loans to be so
extended or converted, the types of Loans into which such Loans are to be
converted and, if appropriate, the applicable Interest Periods with respect
thereto. Each request for extension or conversion shall be irrevocable and shall
constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower of the matters
specified in subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 5.2. In the event the
Borrower fails to request extension or conversion of any Eurodollar Loan in
accordance with this Section, or any such conversion or extension is not
permitted or required by this Section, then such Eurodollar Loan shall be
automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender notice as
promptly as practicable of any such proposed extension or conversion affecting
any Loan. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Loans.
3.3    Prepayments.
(c)    Voluntary Prepayments.
The Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans in whole or in part from time
to time, with irrevocable prior written notice to the Administrative Agent
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 3.3 (a “Notice of Prepayment”)
given prior to but not later than (i) 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina
time) on the same Business Day as each prepayment of a Base Rate Loan or a
Swingline Loan and (ii) 11:00 a.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the same
Business Day as each prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan, specifying the date and
amount of prepayment, whether the prepayment is of Revolving Loans, Swingline
Loans, the Term Loan or Incremental Term Loans,

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

or a combination thereof and, if a combination thereof, the amount allocable to
each and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans, Base Rate Loans,
Swingline Loans or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the
amount allocable to each. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Lender. If any such notice is given, the amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date set forth in such
notice; provided, however, that each partial prepayment of Loans shall be in a
minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000.
Subject to the foregoing terms and Section 3.18, amounts prepaid under this
Section 3.3(a) shall be applied as the Borrower may elect; provided that if the
Borrower fails to specify a voluntary prepayment then such prepayment shall be
applied to the applicable Loans, in each case first to Base Rate Loans and then
to Eurodollar Loans, in direct order of Interest Period maturities and, in the
case of a prepayment of the Term Loan or an Incremental Term Loan, such
prepayment shall be applied ratably to the remaining principal amortization
payments. A Notice of Prepayment received after the time periods required above
shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. All prepayments under this
Section 3.3(a) shall be subject to Section 3.12, but otherwise without premium
or penalty.
(d)    Mandatory Prepayments.
(iv)    If at any time the sum of the aggregate amount of the outstanding
Revolving Loans plus LOC Obligations outstanding plus Swingline Loans
outstanding shall exceed the Revolving Committed Amount, the Borrower shall
immediately make payment on the Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the LOC
Obligations in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. All amounts
required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.3(b) shall be applied as follows: to
the Swingline Loans and to the Revolving Loans and (after all Revolving Loans
and Swingline Loans have been repaid) to a cash collateral account in respect of
LOC Obligations. Within the parameters of the applications set forth above,
prepayments shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar
Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities.
(v)    Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, unless the Required Lenders
shall elect otherwise, (A) the Commitments shall automatically terminate and (B)
the Borrower shall promptly, and in any event, within three Business Days,
prepay all accrued fees and all unpaid principal of and any accrued interest in
respect of all Loans and Cash Collateralize all LOC Obligations.
All prepayments under this Section 3.3(b) shall be subject to Section 3.12.
3.4    Termination of Revolving Commitments, Reduction of Revolving Committed
Amount or Increase in Commitments.
(a)    Voluntary Reductions of Revolving Committed Amount. The Borrower may from
time to time permanently reduce or terminate the Revolving Committed Amount in
whole or in part (in minimum aggregate amounts of $5,000,000 or in integral
multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the full remaining
amount of the then applicable Revolving Committed Amount)) upon five Business
Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, that, no such
termination or reduction shall be made which would cause the sum of the
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Revolving Loans plus LOC
Obligations plus Swingline Loans to exceed the Revolving Committed Amount or
unless, concurrently with such termination or reduction, the Revolving Loans and
Swingline Loans are repaid to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender of receipt by
the Administrative Agent of any notice from the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 3.4(a).

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

(b)    Mandatory Termination of Revolving Commitments. The Revolving Commitments
shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date therefor.
(c)    Increase in Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least
fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, to
increase (in one or more increases) the Revolving Committed Amount or institute
one or more Incremental Term Loans at any time prior to the date that is six (6)
months prior to the Maturity Date, subject, however, in any such case, to
satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
(vi)    the sum of (A) the aggregate amount of all increases in the Revolving
Committed Amount pursuant to this Section 3.4(c) plus (B) the aggregate original
principal amount of all Incremental Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.1(c)
shall not exceed $300,000,000;
(vii)    no Default or Event of Default shall exist prior to or after giving
effect to such increase or institution on the date on which such increase or
institution is to become effective;
(viii)    the representations and warranties set forth in Article VI shall be
true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date on which such
increase or institution is to become effective (except for those which expressly
relate to an earlier date);
(ix)    such increase or institution shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000
and in integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser
amounts as the Administrative Agent may agree);
(x)    such requested increase or institution shall only be effective upon
receipt by the Administrative Agent of (A) additional commitments in a
corresponding amount of such requested increase or institution from either
existing Lenders and/or one or more other institutions that qualify as an
Eligible Assignee (it being understood and agreed that no existing Lender shall
be required to provide an additional commitment) and (B) documentation from each
institution providing an additional commitment evidencing their commitment and
their obligations under this Credit Agreement in form and substance acceptable
to the Administrative Agent (which documentation shall take the form of
Incremental Term Loan Agreements, in the case of an institution of an
Incremental Term Loan);
(xi)    the Administrative Agent shall have received all documents (including
resolutions of the board of directors of the Borrower and the Guarantors) it may
reasonably request relating to the corporate or other necessary authority for
and the validity of such increase or institution, and any other matters relevant
thereto, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent;
(xii)    if any Revolving Loans are outstanding at the time of the increase in
the Revolving Committed Amount, the Borrower shall, if applicable, prepay one or
more existing Revolving Loans (such prepayment to be subject to Section 3.12) in
an amount necessary such that after giving effect to the increase in the
Revolving Committed Amount, each Lender will hold its pro rata share (based on
its Applicable Percentage of the increased Revolving Committed Amount) of
outstanding Revolving Loans;
(xiii)    if the reallocation, if any, of outstanding Loans among the Lenders in
connection with such increase results in the prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a
day which is not the last day

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

of an Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall have paid to each
affected Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section
3.12; and
(xiv)    in the case of the institution of an Incremental Term Loan:
(A)    the final maturity date for such Incremental Term Loan shall be as set
forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Agreement, provided that such date
shall not be earlier than the Maturity Date for the Term Loan;
(B)    the scheduled principal amortization payments under such Incremental Term
Loan shall be as set forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Agreement;
provided that the weighted average life of the Incremental Term Loan shall not
be less than the weighted life to maturity of the Term Loan;
(C)    the Applicable Rate for such Incremental Term Loan shall be the
percentage(s) per annum set forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan
Agreement; and
(C)    except as provided in subsections (A), (B) and (C) above, the terms of
each Incremental Term Loan shall be identical to that of the Term Loan.

3.5    Fees.
(d)    Unused Fee. In consideration of the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders
hereunder, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender with a Revolving Commitment a fee (the “Unused Fee”)
equal to the Applicable Rate per annum for Unused Fees then in effect on the
Unused Revolving Committed Amount for each day during the applicable Unused Fee
Calculation Period (hereinafter defined), subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 3.18. The Unused Fee shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and
shall be due and payable in arrears on the first business day of each April,
July, October and January (and any date that the Revolving Committed Amount is
reduced as provided in Section 3.4 and the Maturity Date) for the immediately
preceding quarter (or portion thereof) (each such quarter or portion thereof for
which the Unused Fee is payable hereunder being herein referred to as an “Unused
Fee Calculation Period”), beginning with the first of such dates to occur after
the Closing Date. For purposes of computation of the Unused Fees, the Swingline
Loans shall not be counted toward or considered usage of the Revolving Committed
Amount.
(e)    Letter of Credit Fees.
(i)    Standby Letter of Credit Issuance Fee. In consideration of the issuance
of standby Letters of Credit hereunder, the Borrower promises to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender with a Revolving Commitment
a fee in Dollars (the “Standby Letter of Credit Fee”) on such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of the average daily maximum
amount available to be drawn under each such standby Letter of Credit computed
at a per annum rate for each day from the date of issuance to the date of
expiration equal to the Applicable Rate; provided, however, any Standby Letter
of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with
respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not
provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section
2.2 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to the
other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective
Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section
3.18(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the Issuing Lender
for its own account (or in the event the Borrower has provided such Cash
Collateral, such balance

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

shall be deemed waived and shall not be payable by the Borrower). The Standby
Letter of Credit Fee will be payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business
Day of each April, July, October and January for the immediately preceding
quarter (or a portion thereof).
(ii)    Trade Letter of Credit Drawing Fee. In consideration of the issuance of
trade Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances hereunder, the Borrower
promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender with
a Revolving Commitment a fee in Dollars (the “Trade Letter of Credit Fee”) on
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of the average
daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each such trade Letter of
Credit and each Bankers’ Acceptance computed at a per annum rate for each day
from the date of issuance to the date of expiration equal to the Applicable
Rate; provided, however, any Trade Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for
the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any trade Letter of Credit or
Bankers’ Acceptance as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash
Collateral satisfactory to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.2 shall be
payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to the other Lenders
in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable
Percentages allocable to such trade Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance
pursuant to Section 3.18(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable
to the Issuing Lender for its own account (or in the event the Borrower has
provided such Cash Collateral, such balance shall be deemed waived and shall not
be payable by the Borrower). The Trade Letter of Credit Fee will be payable
quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each April, July, October and
January for the immediately preceding quarter (or a portion thereof).
(iii)    Issuing Lender Fees. In addition to the Standby Letter of Credit Fee
payable pursuant to clause (i) above and the Trade Letter of Credit Fee payable
pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower promises to pay to the Issuing
Lender for its own account without sharing by the other Lenders customary
charges from time to time of the Issuing Lender with respect to the issuance,
amendment, transfer, administration, cancellation and conversion of, and
drawings under, such Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances (collectively,
the “Issuing Lender Fees”).
3.6    Capital Adequacy and Liquidity.
If any Lender has determined that any Change in Law regarding capital
requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender’s (or its holding company’s) capital, assets or liquidity as a
consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that
which such Lender (or its holding company) could have achieved but for such
Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s (or its holding
company’s) policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then, upon
notice from such Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay
to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender
(or its holding company) for such reduction. Each determination by any such
Lender of amounts owing under this Section shall, absent manifest error, be
presumed correct and binding on the parties hereto.
3.7    Inability to Determine Rates.
If in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Loan or a conversion to or
continuation thereof, (i) the Administrative Agent determines 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 Loan or
(b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar
Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
Eurodollar Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or
(ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any
reason the

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

Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a
proposed Eurodollar Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the
Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make
or maintain Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected
Eurodollar Loans or Interest Periods) and (y) in the event of a determination
described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Base Rate
component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Base Rate
component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until
the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes
such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending
request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans
(to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing
that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a
borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.
3.8    Illegality.
If any Lender determines that any Requirement of Law has made it unlawful, or
that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender
or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest
is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Base Rate, or to determine or
charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Base 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 written notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through
the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue
Eurodollar Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar 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 Base 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 Base 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 (which notice shall be delivered
promptly upon termination of such circumstances). 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 of such Lender’s
Eurodollar Loans 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 Base 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 Loans to such day,
or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such
Eurodollar Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender
determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Base Rate, the
Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base
Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Base 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 Base Rate (which notice shall be
delivered promptly upon cessation of such illegality). Upon any such prepayment
or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so
prepaid or converted.
3.9    Increased Costs.
If any Change in Law shall:
(iv)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or

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

credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve
requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate);
(v)    subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever (excluding federal
taxation of the overall net income of any Lender) with respect to this Credit
Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Bankers’ Acceptance, any Participation
Interest in a Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance or any Eurodollar Loan
made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in
respect thereof (except for Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.11); or
(vi)    impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition,
cost or expense affecting this Credit Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such
Lender or any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance (as applicable) or
participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by
reference to the Eurodollar Base Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make
any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender of participating in,
issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance (or of
maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit or
Bankers’ Acceptance), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable
by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount)
then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional
costs incurred or reduction suffered.
3.10    Mitigation Obligations, Etc.
(a)    Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth
the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding
company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 3.6 or 3.9 and delivered to
the Borrower shall be presumed correct absent manifest error. The Borrower shall
pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten days
after receipt thereof.
(b)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand
compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not
constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided
that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to
Section 3.6 or 3.9 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more
than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the
Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such
Lender’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).
(c)    Designation of a Different Applicable Lending Office. If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 3.6 or 3.9, or the Borrower is required to
pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the
account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.11, or if any Lender gives a notice
pursuant to Section 3.8, then such Lender shall, as applicable, use reasonable
efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for funding or
booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to
another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such
Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts
payable pursuant to Section 3.6, 3.9 or 3.11, as the case may be, in the future,
or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.8, as applicable, and
(ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower
hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in
connection with any such designation or assignment.

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

(d)    Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
3.6 or 3.9, if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.8, or if the
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.11,
the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.19.
3.11    Taxes.
(a)    Any and all payments by any Credit Party to or for the account of any
Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or
future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and
all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and
the Administrative Agent, (A) taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes
imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender (or its
Applicable Lending Office) or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is
organized or any political subdivision thereof and (B) any U.S. federal
withholding taxes imposed under FATCA (all such non‑excluded taxes, duties,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and liabilities being
hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Credit Party shall be required by
law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Credit
Agreement or any other Credit Document to any Lender or the Administrative
Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making
all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section 3.11) such Lender or the Administrative Agent
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) such Credit Party shall make such deductions,
(iii) such Credit Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law, and
(iv) such Credit Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address
referred to in Section 11.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt
evidencing payment thereof.
(b)    In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future
stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or
similar levies which arise from any payment made under this Credit Agreement or
any other Credit Document or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise
with respect to, this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document (hereinafter
referred to as “Other Taxes”).
(c)    The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent
for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable
under this Section 3.11) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the
case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses)
arising therefrom or with respect thereto.
(d)    Each Lender that is not a United States person under Section 7701(a)(30)
of the Code (a “Foreign Lender”), on or prior to the date of its execution and
delivery of this Credit Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the
signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender
in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested
in writing by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but only so long as such
Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent with (i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as
appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service,
certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty
to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax
on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to
this Credit Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or
business in the United States, or (ii)  any other form or certificate required
by any taxing authority (including any certificate required by Sections 871

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

(h) and 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code), certifying that such Lender is
entitled to an exemption from or a reduced rate of tax on payments pursuant to
this Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents.
In addition, if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be
subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to
fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including
those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such
Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or
times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable
law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such
additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such
Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine
the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this
paragraph, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of
this Credit Agreement.
(e)    For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to
Section 3.11(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or
regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was
required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification
under Section 3.11(a) or 3.11(b) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United
States; provided, however, that should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from
or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because
of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take
such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to
recover such Taxes.
(f)    If any Credit Party is required to pay additional amounts to or for the
account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.11, then such Lender will agree
to use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending
Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may
thereafter accrue if such change, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, is
not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
(g)    Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the
applicable Credit Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original
or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment.
(h)    Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Credit
Parties hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Credit Parties
contained in this Section 3.11 shall survive the repayment of the Loans, LOC
Obligations and other obligations under the Credit Documents and the termination
of the Commitments hereunder.
3.12    Compensation.
Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such
amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such
Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense (including loss of
anticipated profits) incurred by it as a result of:
(a)    any payment, prepayment, or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan for any
reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to
Section 9.2) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such
Loan; or

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

(b)    any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without
limitation, the failure of any condition precedent specified in Article V to be
satisfied) to borrow, convert, continue, or prepay a Eurodollar Loan on the date
for such borrowing, conversion, continuation, or prepayment specified in the
relevant notice of borrowing, prepayment, continuation, or conversion under this
Credit Agreement.
With respect to Eurodollar Loans, such indemnification may include an amount
equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the amount of interest which would have
accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued,
for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow,
convert or continue to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in
the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that
would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable
rate of interest for such Eurodollar Loans provided for herein (excluding,
however, the Applicable Rate included therein, if any) over (b) the amount of
interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to
such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable
period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. The covenants of
the Borrower set forth in this Section 3.12 shall survive the repayment of the
Loans, LOC Obligations and other obligations under the Credit Documents and the
termination of the Commitments hereunder.
3.13    Pro Rata Treatment.
Except to the extent otherwise provided herein:
(a)    Loans. Each Loan, each payment or (subject to the terms of Section 3.3)
prepayment of principal of any Loan or reimbursement obligations arising from
drawings under Letters of Credit, each payment of interest on the Loans or
reimbursement obligations arising from drawings under Letters of Credit, each
payment of Unused Fees, each payment of the Standby Letter of Credit Fee, each
payment of the Trade Letter of Credit Fee, each reduction in Commitments and
each conversion or extension of any Loan, shall be allocated pro rata among the
applicable Lenders in accordance with the respective Applicable Percentages.
(b)    Advances. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to
fund Participation Interests in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans or to make
any payment under Section 11.5(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any
Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such Participation Interests or to make
any payment under Section 11.5(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, purchase its Participation Interests or to make any payment under
Section 11.5(c).
(c)    (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 Loans (or, in the case of any
borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date of such borrowing)
that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such
Lender’s share of such borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.1
(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 2.1)
and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share
of the applicable borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the
applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available
funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to
the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such
Lender, the greater

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

of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any
administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a
payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate
Loans; the Administrative Agent shall not request that the Borrower make such
payment unless such Lender has not made such payment to the Administrative Agent
within two Business Days following demand. 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
date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Lenders or the Issuing Lender 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 Issuing Lender, 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 Issuing Lender, 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 Issuing Lender, 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 (c) shall be presumed correct, absent
manifest error.
3.14    Sharing of Payments.
The Lenders agree among themselves that, in the event that any Lender shall
obtain payment in respect of any Loan, LOC Obligations or any other obligation
owing to such Lender under this Credit Agreement through the exercise of a right
of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under
Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest
arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under
any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by
any other means, in excess of its pro rata share of such payment as provided for
in this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other
Lenders a Participation Interest in such Loans, LOC Obligations and other
obligations in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time,
as shall be equitable to the end that all Lenders share such payment in
accordance with their respective ratable shares as provided for in this Credit
Agreement. The Lenders further agree among themselves that if payment to a
Lender obtained by such Lender through the exercise of a right of setoff,
banker’s lien, counterclaim or other event as aforesaid shall be rescinded or
must otherwise be restored, each Lender which shall have shared the benefit of
such payment shall, by repurchase of a Participation Interest theretofore sold,
return its share of that benefit (together with its share of any accrued
interest payable with respect thereto) to each Lender whose payment shall have
been rescinded or otherwise restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so
purchasing such a Participation Interest may, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, exercise all rights of payment, including setoff, banker’s lien or
counterclaim, with

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

respect to such Participation Interest as fully as if such Lender were a holder
of such Loan, LOC Obligations or other obligation in the amount of such
Participation Interest. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Credit
Agreement, if any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall fail to remit to the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender an amount payable by such Lender or the
Administrative Agent to the Administrative Agent or such other Lender pursuant
to this Credit Agreement on the date when such amount is due, such payments
shall be made together with interest thereon for each date from the date such
amount is due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent or
such other Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. If under
any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives
a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 3.14 applies, such
Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such
secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders under this
Section 3.14 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
3.15    Payments, Computations; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate.
All payments hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent in Dollars in
immediately available funds, without recoupment, setoff, deduction, counterclaim
or withholding of any kind, and, except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Schedule 2.1 not later
than 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date when due. Payments
received after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next
succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to) debit the amount of any such payment which is not made by such
time to any ordinary deposit account of the Borrower or any other Credit Party
maintained with the Administrative Agent (with notice to the Borrower or such
other Credit Party). The Borrower shall, at the time it makes any payment under
this Credit Agreement, specify to the Administrative Agent the Loans, LOC
Obligations, Fees, interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder
to which such payment is to be applied (and in the event that it fails so to
specify, or if such application would be inconsistent with the terms hereof, the
Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders in such manner
as the Administrative Agent may determine to be appropriate in respect of
obligations owing by the Borrower hereunder, subject to the terms of
Section 3.13(a)). The Administrative Agent will distribute such payments to such
Lenders, if any such payment is received prior to 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North
Carolina time) on a Business Day in like funds as received prior to the end of
such Business Day and otherwise the Administrative Agent will distribute such
payment to such Lenders on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any
payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business
Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day
(subject to accrual of interest and Fees for the period of such extension),
except that in the case of Eurodollar Loans, if the extension would cause the
payment to be made in the next following calendar month, then such payment shall
instead be made on the next preceding Business Day. All computations of interest
for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the
Eurodollar Base 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 this Section 3.15, bear interest for one day. Each determination by the
Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be presumed
correct, absent manifest error.
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 Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any
applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the 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, 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, automatically and without further action
by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender), 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 Issuing Lender, as the case may be, under Section 2.2(c)(iii) or
3.5(b) or under Article IX.
3.16    Evidence of Debt.
(a)    Each Lender shall maintain an account or accounts evidencing each Loan
made by such Lender to the Borrower from time to time, including the amounts of
principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under
this Credit Agreement. Each Lender will make reasonable efforts to maintain the
accuracy of its account or accounts and to promptly update its account or
accounts from time to time, as necessary.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to
Section 11.3(c), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and
subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount, type and Interest
Period of each such Loan hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest
due and payable or to become due and payable to each Lender hereunder and
(iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from
or for the account of any Credit Party and each Lender’s share thereof. The
Administrative Agent will make reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy of
the subaccounts referred to in the preceding sentence and to promptly update
such subaccounts from time to time, as necessary.
(c)    The entries made in the accounts, Register and subaccounts maintained
pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 3.16 (and, if consistent with the
entries of the Administrative Agent, subsection (a)) shall be presumed correct,
absent manifest error and amounts of the obligations of the Credit Parties
therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to maintain any such account, such Register or such
subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect
the obligation of the Credit Parties to repay the Credit Party Obligations owing
to such Lender.
3.17    Cash Collateral.
(a)    Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Administrative
Agent or the Issuing Lender (i) if the Issuing Lender has honored any full or
partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit or made any payment under any
Bankers’ Acceptance and such drawing or payment has resulted in an L/C
Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any LOC
Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case,
immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of all LOC
Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within
three (3) Business Days after the request of the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all
Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 3.18(a)(iv) and any Cash
Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(b)    Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit
support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in
blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Wells Fargo. The Borrower, and
to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and
subjects to the

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

control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender), 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 3.17(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 as herein provided, or that the total amount of such
Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other
obligations secured thereby, the 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.
(c)    Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Credit Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 3.17 or
Sections 2.2, 2.3, 3.3, 3.18 or 9.2 in respect of Letters of Credit, Bankers’
Acceptances or Swingline Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of
the specific LOC Obligations, Swingline Loans, obligations to fund
participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a
Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other
obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other
application of such property as may be provided for herein.
(d)    Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to
reduce Fronting Exposure or 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 11.3(b)(vi))) or (ii) the Administrative
Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral;
provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a
Credit Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event
of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 3.17 may be
otherwise applied in accordance with Section 9.3), and (y) the Person providing
Cash Collateral and the Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as applicable, may
agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support
future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
3.18    Defaulting Lenders.
(a)    Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Credit Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such
time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by
applicable law:
(i)    Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Credit
Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.6 or the definition of
“Required Lenders”.
(ii)    Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or
other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that
Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to
Article IX or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the
Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.2), 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 that Defaulting
Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro
rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender
or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative
Agent or requested by the Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, to be held as Cash

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

Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any
participation in any Swingline Loan, Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance;
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 that Defaulting Lender
has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Credit Agreement, as
determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing
deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting
Lender to fund Loans under this Credit Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any
amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender as a result
of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the
Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of
that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit 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 that Defaulting Lender
as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this
Credit Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed
by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a
payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of
which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y)
such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth
in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to
pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a
pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C
Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other
amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay
amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this
Section 3.18(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting
Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)    Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to
receive any Unused Fee pursuant to Section 3.5(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) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Standby
Letter of Credit Fees and Trade Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section
3.5(b).
(iv)    Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.
During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of
computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire,
refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans
pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.3, the “Applicable Percentage” of each
non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving
Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation
shall be given effect only if, at the date of such reallocation, no Default or
Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each
non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund Participation Interests in
Letters of Credit, Bankers’ Acceptances and Swingline Loans shall not exceed the
positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Commitment of that
non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
the Revolving Loans of that Lender.
(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender agree in writing in their sole
discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a
Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto,
whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any
conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any
Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that
portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as
the Administrative Agent

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

may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded
participations in Letters of Credit, Bankers’ Acceptances and Swingline Loans to
be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable
Percentages (without giving effect to Section 3.18(a)(iv)), whereupon that
Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will
be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on
behalf of the 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.
3.19    Extension Option.
(a)    Request for Extensions. Not more than twice during the term of this
Credit Agreement, the Borrower may by notice to the Administrative Agent (which
notice must be given not earlier than 60 days prior to the next anniversary of
the Closing Date and not later than 30 days prior to the next anniversary of the
Closing Date (the “Anniversary Date”)), request that the Lenders extend the
Maturity Date for one additional year. Each Lender shall, by notice to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent not later than the 15h day following the
date of any such request from the Borrower, advise the Borrower whether or not
it agrees to extend the Maturity Date as requested. Each decision by a Lender
shall be in the sole discretion of such Lender, and any Lender that has not so
advised the Administrative Agent by the 15th day following the date of such
request from the Borrower shall be deemed to have declined to agree to such
extension. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that no Lender
shall be obligated to extend the Maturity Date pursuant to the terms of this
Section 3.19. Any Lender who fails to agree to the extension request of the
Borrower, as set forth herein, shall be referred to, for purposes of this
Section, as a “Non-Extending Lender”.

(b)    Extension. If the Administrative Agent and the Lenders holding unfunded
Commitments and outstanding Loans representing at least 50% of the Revolving
Committed Amount and the outstanding amount of the Term Loans agree to any such
request for extension of the Maturity Date (collectively, the “Approving
Lenders”), then the Borrower may, subject to the conditions set forth in Section
3.19(d), extend the Maturity Date for an additional year solely as to the
Approving Lenders; provided that the Maturity Date shall never extend beyond any
date for which the Borrower does not have approval. If Non-Extending Lenders
hold unfunded Commitments and outstanding Loans representing more than 50% of
the Revolving Committed Amount plus the outstanding amount of the Term Loans,
then the Borrower shall withdraw its extension request and the Maturity Date
will remain unchanged. With respect to the Non-Extending Lenders, it is
understood and agreed that the Maturity Date relating to the Non-Extending
Lenders shall remain unchanged and the repayment of all obligations owed to them
and the termination of their Commitments shall occur on the then existing
Maturity Date without giving effect to such extension request.

(c)    Replacement of Non-Extending Lenders. Subject to the satisfaction of the
minimum extension requirement in Section 3.19(b) and the other conditions to the
effectiveness of any such extension set forth in Section 3.19(d), the Borrower
shall have the right (but not the obligation), in its sole discretion, to, no
later than the date that occurs sixty (60) days following the applicable
Anniversary Date, elect to replace any Non-Extending Lender pursuant to Section
11.19 by causing such Non-Extending Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse, its interests, rights and obligations as a Lender under this Agreement
and the related Credit Documents to one or more existing Lenders or Eligible
Assignees (provided, that the applicable existing Lender or Eligible Assignee
agrees to the extension of the Maturity Date requested by the Borrower).

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

(d)    Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the extension of the Maturity Date of each Approving Lender pursuant to this
Section 3.19 shall not be effective with respect to any Approving Lender unless,
on the applicable Anniversary Date: (i) no Default shall exist or be continuing
either prior to or after giving effect thereto; (ii) the representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be
true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date with the same
effect as if made on and as of such date (except for any such representation and
warranty that by its terms is made only as of an earlier date, which
representation and warranty shall remain true and correct in all material
respects as of such earlier date) and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have
received all documents (including resolutions of the board of directors of the
Borrower and the Guarantors) it may reasonably request relating to the corporate
or other necessary authority for and the validity of such extension, and any
other matters relevant thereto, all in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE IV.    

GUARANTY
4.1    The Guaranty.
Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to each Lender,
each Affiliate of a Lender that enters into a Hedging Agreement, and each other
holder of the Credit Party Obligations as hereinafter provided, as primary
obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the Credit Party Obligations in
full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by
acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) strictly in
accordance with the terms thereof. The Guarantors hereby further agree that if
any of the Credit Party Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at
stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash
collateralization or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally,
promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the
case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Credit Party
Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at
extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory
cash collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such
extension or renewal.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other
of the Credit Documents or other documents relating to the Credit Party
Obligations, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to an
aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its
obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy
Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.
4.2    Obligations Unconditional.
The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.1 are joint and several,
absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity,
regularity or enforceability of any of the Credit Documents or Hedging
Agreements, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any
substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or
security for any of the Credit Party Obligations, and, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever
which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.2 that the
obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional
under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall
have no right of

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

subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower or
any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this Article IV until such time as
the Lenders (and any Affiliates of Lenders entering into Hedging Agreements)
have been paid in full, all Commitments under this Credit Agreement have been
terminated and no Person or Governmental Authority shall have any right to
request any return or reimbursement of funds from the Lenders in connection with
monies received under the Credit Documents or Hedging Agreements. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following
shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall
remain absolute and unconditional as described above:
(e)    at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the
time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Credit Party
Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be
waived;
(f)    any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Credit
Documents, any Hedging Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred
to in the Credit Documents or Hedging Agreements shall be done or omitted;
(g)    the maturity of any of the Credit Party Obligations shall be accelerated,
or any of the Credit Party Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or
amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Credit Documents, any
Hedging Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Credit
Documents or Hedging Agreements shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of
the Credit Party Obligations or any security therefor shall be released,
impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;
(h)    any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any
Lender or Lenders as security for any of the Credit Party Obligations shall fail
to attach or be perfected; or
(i)    any of the Credit Party Obligations shall be determined to be void or
voidable (including, without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of any
Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including,
without limitation, any creditor of any Guarantor).
With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly
waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices
whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender
exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of
the Credit Documents, any Hedging Agreement or any other agreement or instrument
referred to in the Credit Documents or Hedging Agreements, or against any other
Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Credit Party
Obligations.
4.3    Reinstatement.
The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article IV shall be automatically
reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf
of any Person in respect of the Credit Party Obligations is rescinded or must be
otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Credit Party Obligations, whether
as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and
each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each
Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent
or such Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any
such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that
such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment
under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

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

4.4    Certain Additional Waivers.
Each Guarantor further agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of
recourse to security for the Credit Party Obligations, except through the
exercise of rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 4.2 and through the
exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section 4.6.
4.5    Remedies.
The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between
the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders,
on the other hand, the Credit Party Obligations may be declared to be forthwith
due and payable as provided in Section 9.2 (and shall be deemed to have become
automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Section 9.2)
for purposes of Section 4.1 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Credit Party
Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other
Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Credit Party
Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the
Credit Party Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person)
shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of
Section 4.1.
4.6    Rights of Contribution.
The Guarantors agree among themselves that, in connection with payments made
hereunder, each Guarantor shall have contribution rights against the other
Guarantors as permitted under applicable law. Such contribution rights shall be
subordinate and subject in right of payment to the obligations of such
Guarantors under the Credit Documents and no Guarantor shall exercise such
rights of contribution until all Credit Party Obligations have been paid in full
and the Commitments have terminated.
4.7    Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee.
The guarantee in this Article IV is a guaranty of payment and not of collection,
is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Credit Party Obligations
whenever arising.
4.8    Keepwell.
Each Credit Party that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time the Guaranty in
this Article IV by any Credit Party that is not then an “eligible contract
participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act (a “Specified Credit Party”) or
the grant of a security interest under the Credit Documents by any such
Specified Credit Party, in either case, becomes effective with respect to any
Swap Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified
Credit Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such
Specified Credit Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under
the Credit Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only
up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without
rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings under this
Article IV voidable under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
laws, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each
Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect
until the Credit Party Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in
full. Each Credit Party intends this Section to constitute, and this Section
shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the
benefit of each Specified Credit Party for all purposes of the Commodity
Exchange Act.

with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a
Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, that by its terms must be fulfilled to
the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may
presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Lender
unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from
such Lender or the Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan, or the
issuance of such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance. The Administrative
Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower),

qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall
nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and (b) all payments,
communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the
Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until

appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to
and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or
under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as
provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor
Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the
retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit
Documents, the provisions of this Section and Section 11.5 shall continue in
effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and
their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as
Administrative Agent.
Any resignation by Wells Fargo as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section
shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender.
Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Lender and
Swingline Lender, (ii) the retiring Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender shall be
discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or
under the other Credit Documents, and (iii) the successor Issuing Lender shall
issue letters of credit or bankers’ acceptances in substitution for the Letters
of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances, if any, outstanding or issuable under any
Acceptance Credits outstanding at the time of such succession or make other
arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Lender to effectively assume
the obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of
Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances.

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

10.7    Non-Reliance by Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.
Each Lender 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 Credit Agreement. Each
Lender 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 Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any
related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
10.8    No Other Duties, Etc.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the bookrunners,
arrangers, syndication agents, documentation agents or co-agents shall have any
powers, duties or responsibilities under this Credit Agreement or any of the
other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the
Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder.
10.9    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.
In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or any other
judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LOC 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
(i)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LOC Obligations and all other
Credit Party 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 and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other
amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.5 and
11.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(j)    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 to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and in the event
that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Lenders, 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 3.5 and 11.5.
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 any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Credit
Party Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative
Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

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

10.10    Guaranty Matters.
The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in
its discretion, to release any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder if such
Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted
hereunder. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required
Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release
any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder pursuant to this Section 10.10.
ARTICLE XI.    

MISCELLANEOUS
11.1    Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communications.
(b)    Notices Generally. Except in the case of notices and other communications
expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in
subsection (b) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein
shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service,
mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by facsimile as follows, and all
notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by
telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows:
(i)    if to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the
Swingline Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or
telephone number specified for such Person on Schedule 11.1; and
(ii)    if to any other Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic
mail address or telephone number specified in its Administrative Questionnaire
(including, as appropriate, notices delivered solely to the Person designated by
a Lender on its Administrative Questionnaire then in effect for the delivery of
notices that may contain material non-public information relating to the
Borrower).
Notices and other communications sent by hand or overnight courier service, or
mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when
received; notices and other communications sent by facsimile shall be deemed to
have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business
hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of
business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices and other
communications delivered through electronic communications to the extent
provided in subsection (b) below, shall be effective as provided in such
subsection (b).
(c)    Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the
Lenders and the Issuing Lender hereunder may be delivered or furnished by
electronic communication (including e mail and Internet or intranet websites)
pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the
foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the Issuing Lender
pursuant to Article II, Section 3.3 and Section 3.13 if such Lender or Issuing
Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving
notices under such Sections by electronic communication. The Administrative
Agent or the Borrower (on behalf of itself and the other Credit Parties) may, in
its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder
by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided
that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or
communications.

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

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other
communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the
sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by
the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other
written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is
not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or
communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on
the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications
posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the
deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in
the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is
available and identifying the website address therefor.
(d)    Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Credit Documents may
be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile. The effectiveness of any such
documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable law, have the same force
and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on all Credit
Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent may
also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a
manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request
or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document
or signature.
(e)    Reliance by Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender and Lenders. The
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall be entitled to
rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Notices of Borrowing and
Swingline Loan Requests) 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
Issuing Lender, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all
losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such
Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All
telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the
Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of
the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
(f)    The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE
AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF
THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM
LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF
ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD
PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT
PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event
shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the
“Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, the Issuing
Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the
Borrower’s 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
Issuing Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

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

(g)    Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender may change its address, facsimile or
telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the
other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, facsimile or
telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender.
In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to
time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective
address, contact name, telephone number, facsimile number and electronic mail
address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate
wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to
cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all
times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the
content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender
or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures
and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws,
to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the
“Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material
non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for
purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.
11.2    Right of Set‑Off‑.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each
Lender (and each of its Affiliates) is hereby authorized at any time and from
time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any
and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at
any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender (or any of
its Affiliates) to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against
any and all of the obligations of such Person now or hereafter existing under
this Credit Agreement, under the Notes, under any other Credit Document or
otherwise, irrespective of whether such Lender shall have made any demand under
hereunder or thereunder and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each
Lender agrees promptly to notify any affected Credit Party after any such
set‑off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure
to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set‑off and
application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.2 are in addition
to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of
set‑off) that such Lender may have.
11.3    Successors and Assigns.
(l)    Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Credit Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may
not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender,
and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section
11.3(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of
Section 11.3(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest
subject to the restrictions of Section 11.3(f) (and any other attempted
assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in
this Credit 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 Issuing Lender and the Lenders)
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Credit
Agreement.
(m)    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 Credit
Agreement (including all or a portion of its

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

Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b),
participations in LOC Obligations and in Swingline Loans) at the time owing to
it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following
conditions:
(i)    Minimum Amounts.
(A)    in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Commitment and the related 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 Commitment is not then in effect, the
principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to
each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if
“Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade
Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of any assignment in respect
of a Revolving Commitment (and the related Revolving Loans thereunder) and
$5,000,000 in the case of any assignment in respect of the Term Loan and
Incremental Term Loans, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise
consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group
and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single
Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group)
will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such
minimum amount has been met;
(ii)    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 Credit Agreement with respect to the Loans or the
Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (A) apply to the
Swingline Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swingline Loans or (B)
prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and
obligations in respect of its Revolving Commitment (and the related Revolving
Loans thereunder) and its outstanding Term Loans and its outstanding Incremental
Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis;
(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
or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender,
an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall
be deemed to have given its consent five (5) Business Days after the date
written notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by the Borrower
prior to such fifth (5th) Business Day;
(B)    the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect
of (1) any unfunded Term Loan Commitment, unfunded Incremental Term Loan
Commitment or any

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

Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with
a Commitment in respect of the applicable facility subject to such assignment,
an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or
(2) any Term Loan or Incremental Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;
(C)    the consent of the Issuing Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the
obligation of the Eligible Assignee to participate in exposure under one or more
Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and
(D)    the consent of the Swingline Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the
Revolving Commitments.
(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 of $3,500; provided, however, that the
Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing
and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a
Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire.
(v)    No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A)
the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) 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) 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 or any Lender
hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as
appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and Participation Interests in
Letters of Credit and Swingline 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 Credit 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 Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under
this Credit 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 Credit Agreement (and,
in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall
cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.6, 3.11, 3.12 and 11.5 with respect to facts and circumstances
occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the
Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee
Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under
this Credit Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated
for purposes of this Credit Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.3(d).
(n)    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 and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the
Loans and LOC Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof
from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
presumed correct (absent manifest error), and the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of
this Credit Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the
Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the
designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting
Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any
Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.
(o)    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 the Borrower or any
of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or
a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Credit Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such
Lender’s participations in LOC Obligations and/or Swingline Loans) owing to it);
provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Credit 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 Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit 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 Credit Agreement
and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Credit Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that
such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any
amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to
Section 11.6 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e)
of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 3.6, 3.11 and 3.12 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.3(b).
To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 11.2 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant
agrees to be subject to Section 3.14 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 of (and
stated interest on) each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other
obligations under the Credit 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 Credit 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 Credit 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.
(p)    Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled
to receive any greater payment under Section 3.6 or 3.11 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation
sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such
Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant
that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the
benefits of Section 3.11 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation
sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the
Borrower, to comply with Section 3.11(d) as though it were a Lender.
(q)    Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit Agreement
(including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender,
including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve
Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from
any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for
such Lender as a party hereto.
(r)    Resignation as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender after Assignment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Wells
Fargo assigns all of its Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans pursuant to
Section 11.3(b), Wells Fargo may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and
the Lenders, resign as Issuing Lender and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the
Borrower, resign as Swingline Lender. In the event of any such resignation as
Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint
from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder;
provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor
shall affect the resignation of Wells Fargo as Issuing Lender or Swingline
Lender, as the case may be. If Wells Fargo resigns as Issuing Lender, it shall
retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Issuing Lender
hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances
outstanding and all Bankers’ Acceptances issuable under any Acceptance Credits
outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Lender and
all LOC Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the
Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund Participation Interests in Unreimbursed
Amounts pursuant to Section 2.2(c)). If Wells Fargo resigns as Swingline Lender,
it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder
with respect to Swingline 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 Participation Interests in outstanding Swingline Loans
pursuant to Section 2.3. Upon the appointment of a successor Issuing Lender
and/or Swingline Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested
with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing
Lender or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor Issuing
Lender shall issue letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances in substitution
for the Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances, if any, outstanding at the
time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Wells Fargo
to effectively assume the obligations of Wells Fargo with respect to such
Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances.
11.4    No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative; Enforcement.
No failure by any Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent to
exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver

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

thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or
privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document (including the imposition
of a default rate of interest) 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
Credit 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 Credit
Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the
other Credit Documents against the Credit 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 9.2 for the benefit of all the
Lenders and the Issuing Lender; 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 Credit Documents, (b) the
Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender from exercising the rights and remedies
that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Issuing Lender or Swingline
Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, (c)
any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.2
(subject to the terms of Section 3.14), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of
claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of
a proceeding relative to any Credit Party under the Bankruptcy Code or any other
debtor relief law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person
acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents,
then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.2 and (ii) in addition to the matters
set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to
Section 3.14, 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.
11.5    Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
(d)    The Credit Parties jointly and severally agree to pay on demand all
reasonable and documented costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Lender and their Affiliates in connection with the syndication,
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, and amendment of
this Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents, and the other documents to be
delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel with respect thereto and with respect to advising the
Administrative Agent as to its rights and responsibilities under the Credit
Documents. The Credit Parties further jointly and severally agree to pay on
demand all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender
and the Lenders, if any (including, without limitation, reasonable and
documented attorneys’ fees and expenses), in connection with the enforcement
(whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of the Credit
Documents and the other documents to be delivered hereunder.
(e)    The Credit Parties jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold
harmless the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and
the Issuing Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons
(each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages,
losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded
against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with
or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any
investigation, litigation, or proceeding or preparation of defense in connection
therewith) the Credit Documents, any of the transactions contemplated herein or
the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans (including any of the
foregoing arising from the negligence of the Indemnified Party), except to the
extent such claim, damage, loss, liability, cost, or expense is found in a
final, non‑appealable judgment by a court of competent

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

jurisdiction to have resulted from (i) such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct, (ii) a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Credit
Party against an Indemnified Party for breach in bad faith of such Indemnified
Party’s obligations hereunder or under any other Credit Document or (iii) a
material breach by such Indemnified Party of its obligations under the Credit
Documents (or any employee of, or any other Person that is controlled by, such
Indemnified Party). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other
proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 11.5 applies, such indemnity
shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding
is brought by any of the Credit Parties, their respective directors,
shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any
Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. The Credit Parties agree not
to assert any claim against any Indemnified Party on any theory of liability,
for special, indirect, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or
otherwise relating to the Credit Documents, any of the transactions contemplated
herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans. No
Indemnified Party 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 Indemnified Party through telecommunications,
electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this
Credit Agreement or the other Credit 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 Indemnified Party as determined
by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(f)    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 Issuing 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 Issuing Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount,
provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub‑agent) or the Issuing 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) or Issuing Lender in
connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this
subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 3.13(b).
(g)    Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later
than ten Business Days after demand therefor.
(h)    Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Credit
Parties hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Credit Parties
contained in this Section 11.5 shall survive the resignation of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, the
replacement of any Lender, the repayment of the Loans, LOC Obligations and other
obligations under the Credit Documents and the termination of the Commitments
hereunder.
11.6    Amendments, Waivers and Consents.
Neither this Credit Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any of the terms
hereof or thereof may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated
unless such amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing
entered into by, or approved in writing by, the Required Lenders and the
Borrower, provided, however,
(f)    that neither this Credit Agreement nor any other Credit Document may be
amended to:

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

(i)    extend the final maturity of any Loan (except in accordance with Section
3.19) or of any reimbursement obligation, or any portion thereof, arising from
drawings under Letters of Credit without the written consent of each Lender
whose such final maturity is being extended or increased,
(ii)    reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of principal or interest
(other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post‑default
increase in interest rates) thereon or Fees hereunder without the written
consent of each Lender entitled to receive such payment,
(iii)    reduce or waive the principal amount of any Loan or of any
reimbursement obligation, or any portion thereof, arising from drawings under
Letters of Credit without the written consent of each Lender entitled to receive
such amount,
(iv)    increase the Commitment of a Lender over the amount thereof in effect
without the written consent of such Lender whose Commitment is being increased
(it being understood and agreed that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default
or mandatory reduction in the Commitments shall not constitute a change in the
terms of any Commitment of any Lender),
(v)    release the Borrower or, except in a transaction permitted under Section
8.4 or Section 8.5, substantially all of the other Credit Parties from its or
their obligations under the Credit Documents without the written consent of each
Lender directly affected thereby,
(vi)    amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 11.6(a) or
Section 3.14 without the written consent of each Lender directly affected
thereby,
(vii)    reduce any percentage specified in, or otherwise modify, the definition
of Required Lenders without the written consent of each Lender directly affected
thereby, or
(viii)    consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower or all or
substantially all of the other Credit Parties of any of its or their rights and
obligations under (or in respect of) the Credit Documents except as permitted
thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;
(g)    unless also signed by the Administrative Agent, no amendment, waiver or
consent shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this
Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document;
(h)    unless also signed by the Issuing Lender, no amendment, waiver or consent
shall affect the rights or duties of the Issuing Lender under this Credit
Agreement or any Letter of Credit Application or other document relating to any
Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance issued or to be issued by it; and
(i)    unless also signed by the Swingline Lender, no amendment, waiver or
consent shall affect the rights or duties of the Swingline Lender under this
Credit Agreement.
Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in
certain circumstances as set forth above, (x) each Lender is entitled to vote as
such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the
Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of
the Bankruptcy Code supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein
and (y) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Credit Party to use cash
collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

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

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Fee Letter 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 more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the
consent of such Defaulting Lender.
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary the Administrative Agent
and the Borrower may amend, modify or supplement this Credit Agreement or any
other Credit Document to cure or correct administrative errors or omissions, any
ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency or to effect administrative
changes, and such amendment shall become effective without any further consent
of any other party to such Credit Document so long as (i) such amendment,
modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or
other holder of Credit Party Obligations in any material respect and (ii) the
Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice
thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five
Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from
the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment.
11.7    Counterparts.
This Credit Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which
shall constitute one and the same instrument. It shall not be necessary in
making proof of this Credit Agreement to produce or account for more than one
such counterpart for each of the parties hereto. Delivery by facsimile by any of
the parties hereto of an executed counterpart of this Credit Agreement shall be
as effective as an original executed counterpart hereof.
11.8    Headings.
The headings of the sections and subsections hereof are provided for convenience
only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any
provision of this Credit Agreement.
11.9    Survival of Representations and Warranties.
All indemnities set forth herein and all representations and warranties made
hereunder and in any other Credit Document or other document delivered pursuant
hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement, the making of the Loans, the
issuance of the Letters of Credit, the repayment of the Loans, LOC Obligations
and other obligations and the termination of the Commitments hereunder. 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 or Event of Default at the time of any extension of credit
hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or
any other Credit Party Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied
or any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance shall remain outstanding.

11.10    Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue.
(i)    THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT AND, UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED THEREIN,
THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION
(WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT OR, UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED
THEREIN, ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Each Credit Party 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 Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender, or any Related Party of the foregoing
in any way relating to this Credit Agreement or any other Credit 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 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 Credit Agreement or in any other Credit
Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the
Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or
proceeding relating to this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document
against the any Credit Party or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction. Each of the Credit Parties further irrevocably consents to the
service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or
proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, to it at the address set out for notices pursuant to
Section 11.1, such service to become effective three (3) days after such
mailing. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or
any Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence
legal proceedings or to otherwise proceed against any Credit Party in any other
jurisdiction.
(j)    Each of the Credit Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection which it may
now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or
proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any
other Credit Document brought in the courts referred to in subsection (a) above
and hereby further irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Law, and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such
action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum.
(k)    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    
CREDIT AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH
PARTY HERETO (I) 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
(II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO
ENTER INTO THIS CREDIT

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

AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL
WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
11.11    Severability.
If any provision of any of the Credit Documents is determined to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and the
remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be
construed without giving effect to the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.11, if
and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Credit
Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by bankruptcy or
debtor relief laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, then such provisions
shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
11.12    Entirety.
This Credit Agreement together with the other Credit Documents represent the
entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto, and supersede all prior
agreements and understandings, oral or written, if any, including any commitment
letters or correspondence relating to the Credit Documents or the transactions
contemplated herein and therein.
11.13    Binding Effect; Termination.
(a)    This Credit Agreement shall become effective at such time when all of the
conditions set forth in Section 5.1 have been satisfied or waived by the Lenders
and it shall have been executed by each Credit Party and the Administrative
Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall have received copies hereof (telefaxed
or otherwise) which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each Lender,
and thereafter this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of each Credit Party, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their
respective successors and assigns.
(b)    The term of this Credit Agreement shall be until no Loans, LOC
Obligations or any other amounts payable hereunder or under any of the other
Credit Documents shall remain outstanding, no Letters of Credit shall be
outstanding, all of the Credit Party Obligations have been irrevocably satisfied
in full and all of the Commitments hereunder shall have expired or been
terminated.
11.14    Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that
Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its
Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents,
trustees, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to
whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the
extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction
over it (including any self‑regulatory authority, such as the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d)
to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding
relating to this Credit Agreement or any other Credit 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 Credit Agreement or any Eligible
Assignee invited to become

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

a Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(c) or (ii) any actual or prospective
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to
the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to
the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a
result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Lender or any of their respective
Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.
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 Issuing Lender 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 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 Issuing Lender
acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public
information concerning a Credit Party or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b)
it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public
information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in
accordance with applicable law, including United States Federal and state
securities laws.
11.15    Use of Sources.
Each of the Lenders hereby represents and warrants to the Borrower that at least
one of the following statements is an accurate representation as to the course
of funds to be used by such lender in connection with the financing hereunder:
(a)    no part of such funds constitutes assets allocated to any separate
account maintained by such lender in which any employee benefit plan (or its
related trust) has any interest;
(b)    to the extent that any part of such funds constitutes assets allocated to
any separate account maintained by such lender, such Lender has disclosed to the
Borrower the name of each employee benefit plan whose assets in such account
exceed 10% of the total assets of such account as of the date of such purchase
(and, for purposes of this subsection (b), all employee benefit plans maintained
by the same employer or employee organization are deemed to be a single plan);
(c)    to the extent that any part of such funds constitutes assets of an
insurance company’s general account, such insurance company has complied with
all of the requirements of the regulations issued under Section 401(e)(a)(A) of
ERISA; or
(d)    such funds constitute assets of one or more specific benefit plans which
such Lender has identified in writing to the Borrower.
As used in this Section 11.15, the terms “employee benefit plan” and “separate
account” shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in Section 3
of ERISA.
11.16    Conflict.

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

To the extent that there is a conflict or inconsistency between any provision
hereof, on the one hand, and any provision of any Credit Document, on the other
hand, this Credit Agreement shall control.
11.17    US PATRIOT Act Notice.
Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the
Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby
notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of 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 the
Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and
other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, to identify the Borrower 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 about the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries that the Administrative Agent or such Lender reasonably requests in
order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your
customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.
11.18    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 Credit Document), the Borrower and each other Credit Party
acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that:
(i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Credit Agreement
provided by the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers are arm’s-length
commercial transactions between the Borrower, each other Credit Party and their
respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the
Arrangers, on the other hand, (B) each of the Borrower and the other Credit
Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to
the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower and each other Credit
Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks
and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit
Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers each is and has
been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by
the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an
advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of
their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the
Administrative Agent nor the Arrangers have any obligation to the Borrower, any
other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth
herein and in the other Credit Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent and
the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of
transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, the
other Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither the
Administrative Agent nor the Arrangers have any obligation to disclose any of
such interests to the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their
respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the
Borrower and the other Credit Parties hereby waives and releases any claims that
it may have against the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers with respect to
any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any
aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
11.19    Replacement of Lenders.
If, from time to time, (i) any Lender requests compensation under Sections 3.6
and 3.9, (ii) any Lender gives notice pursuant to Section 3.8, (iii) the
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.11,
(iv) a Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) does not consent to a proposed change,
waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Credit Document that has
been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section

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

11.6 but requires unanimous consent of all Lenders or all Lenders directly
affected thereby (as applicable), (v) subject to Section 3.19(c), any Lender is
a Non-Extending Lender or (vi) any Lender or the Issuing Lender is a Defaulting
Lender, then the Borrower shall have the right to replace such Lender (the
“Replaced Lender”) with one or more additional banks or financial institutions
(collectively, the “Replacement Lender”), upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.3) and, in connection with
such replacement, all of the Replaced Lender’s interests, rights and obligations
under this Credit Agreement and the related Credit Documents shall be assigned
and delegated to the Replacement Lender, provided that:
(a)    the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment
fee specified in Section 11.3(b);
(b)    the Replaced 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
Credit Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.12) from the Replacement
Lender (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 Sections 3.6 and 3.9, receipt of a notice pursuant to Section
3.8 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.11, such assignment
will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter or
elimination of the need for such notice;
(d)    such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Law;
and
(e)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Non-Consenting
Lender’s failure to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or
termination with respect to any Credit Document, the Replacement Lender consents
to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination;
provided that the failure by the Replaced Lender to execute and deliver an
Assignment and Assumption shall not impair the validity of the removal of the
Replaced Lender and the mandatory assignment of such Lender’s Commitments and
outstanding Loans and participations in LOC Obligations and Swingline Loans
pursuant to this Section 11.19 shall nevertheless be effective without the
execution by the Replaced Lender of an Assignment and Assumption.
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.
If the Issuing Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole
expense and effort, upon notice to the Issuing Lender and the Administrative
Agent, require the Issuing Lender to resign as Issuing Lender, provided that (i)
such resigning Issuing Lender shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit
outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Lender and
all LOC Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the
Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund Participation Interests in Unreimbursed
Amounts pursuant to Section 2.2(c)) and (ii) a successor Issuing Lender shall
have been appointed and such successor Issuing Lender shall have issued letters
of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the
time of such resignation or make other arrangements satisfactory to the
resigning Issuing Lender to effectively assume the obligations of such resigning
Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit.

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

The Issuing Lender shall not be required to resign if, prior thereto, the
circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such resignation cease to apply.
11.20    Interest Rate Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the
interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed
the amount collectible at 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 amount collectible at 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 amount collectible at 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 Credit Party
Obligations hereunder.
11.21    Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents.
The words “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 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.
