to time and the Applicable Margin for each LIBOR Loan shall be determined by
reference to the Leverage Ratio in effect on the first day of the Interest
Period pertaining to such LIBOR Loan; provided, however, that (i) the Applicable

required under Section 8.1 or 8.2, as applicable, the information described in
clause (ii) of this proviso and shall continue to apply until the first Business
Day after the date on which the information described in clause (ii) of this
proviso is delivered.  If as a result of a restatement of the Borrower’s

Applicable Margin is based, the interest paid or accrued hereunder was paid or
accrued at a rate lower than the interest that would have been payable had such
Leverage Ratio been correctly computed, the Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders promptly following demand

based pricing grid set forth below (a “Ratings Grid Election”), in which case
the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans and Base Rate Loans will then (commencing
on the date specified in such Ratings Grid Election) be determined, in
accordance with the pricing grid below, on the basis of the Debt Rating of the
Borrower, notwithstanding any failure of the Borrower to maintain an Investment
Grade Rating.  During any period that the Borrower has received Debt Ratings
from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch that are not equivalent, the Applicable Margin shall
be determined based on the Level corresponding to the lower of the highest two
Debt Ratings.  During any period for which the Borrower has received Debt
Ratings from only S&P and Moody’s that are not equivalent, the Applicable Margin
shall be determined by the higher of the two such Debt Ratings.  During any
period that the Borrower has received Debt Ratings from only one of S&P and
Moody’s plus Fitch that are not equivalent, the Applicable Margin shall be
determined by the Debt Rating from S&P or Moody’s.  During any period that the
Borrower has not received a Debt Rating from S&P or Moody’s but has received a
Debt Rating from Fitch, the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on Level
5.

of a Notice of Borrowing under the immediately preceding subsection (b), the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing.  Each
Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Loan to be made by such Lender to
the Borrower with the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, in
immediately available funds not later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on the date
of such proposed Loans.  Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set
forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the Borrower in
the account specified in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement, not later than
1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date of the requested borrowing of Loans, the
proceeds of such amounts received by the Administrative Agent.

 

(d)                                 Assumptions Regarding Funding by Lenders. 
With respect to Loans to be made after the Effective Date, unless the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender that such Lender
will not make available to the Administrative Agent a Loan to be made by such
Lender in connection with any borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume
that such Lender will make the proceeds of such Loan available to the
Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section, and the Administrative
Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption,
make available to the Borrower the amount of such Loan to be provided by such
Lender. In such event, if such Lender does not make available to the
Administrative Agent the proceeds of such Loan, then such Lender and the
Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent on demand the amount
of such Loan with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date
such Loan is made available to the Borrower but excluding the date of payment to
the Administrative Agent, at (i) 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 and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the
interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  If the Borrower and such Lender
shall pay the amount of such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same
or 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 to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Loan, the amount
so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the 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 available the proceeds of a
Loan to be made by such Lender.

 

2.2                               [Intentionally Omitted].

 

2.3                               Letters of Credit.

 

(a)                                 Letters of Credit.  Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 2.14, the
Issuing Banks, on behalf of the Lenders, agree to issue for the account of the
Borrower (which may be issued in support of obligations of any Subsidiary of the
Borrower) during the period from and including the Effective Date to, but
excluding, the date thirty (30) days prior to the Termination Date, one or more
standby letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) up to a maximum aggregate
Stated Amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $75,000,000 as such
amount may be reduced from time to time in

 

30

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

 

accordance with the terms hereof (the “L/C Commitment Amount”); provided,
however, that no Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit
if, after giving effect to such issuance, the aggregate Stated Amount of Letters
of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank would exceed the lesser of (a) the
Commitment of such Issuing Bank in its capacity as a Lender or (b) such Issuing
Bank’s L/C Commitment.

 

(b)                                 Terms of Letters of Credit.  At the time of
issuance, the amount, form, terms and conditions of each Letter of Credit shall
be subject to approval by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Borrower. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may (i) the expiration date of any
Letter of Credit extend beyond the date that is ten (10) days prior to the
Termination Date, or (ii) any Letter of Credit have an initial duration in
excess of one year; provided, however, a Letter of Credit may contain a
provision providing for the automatic extension of the expiration date in the
absence of a notice of non-renewal from the applicable Issuing Bank but in no
event shall any such provision permit the extension of the expiration date of
such Letter of Credit beyond the date that is ten (10) days prior to the
Termination Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Letter of Credit may, as a
result of its express terms or as the result of the effect of an automatic
extension provision, have an expiration date of not more than one year beyond
the Termination Date (any such Letter of Credit being referred to as an
“Extended Letter of Credit”), so long as the Borrower delivers to the Collateral
Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the applicable Issuing Bank that issued
such Letter of Credit and the Lenders no later than 10 days prior to the
Termination Date, Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit for deposit into the
Letter of Credit Collateral Account in an amount equal to the Stated Amount of
such Letter of Credit; provided, that the obligations of the Borrower under this
Section in respect of such Extended Letters of Credit shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and shall remain in effect until no such Extended
Letters of Credit remain outstanding.  If the Borrower fails to provide Cash
Collateral with respect to any Extended Letter of Credit by the date 10 days
prior to the Termination Date, such failure shall be treated as a drawing under
such Extended Letter of Credit (in an amount equal to the maximum Stated Amount
of such Letter of Credit), which shall be reimbursed (or participations therein
funded) by the Lenders in accordance with the immediately following subsections
(i) and (j), with the proceeds being utilized to provide Cash Collateral for
such Letter of Credit. The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall
be at least $500,000 (or such lesser amount as may be acceptable to the
applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, and
the Borrower).

 

(c)                                  Requests for Issuance of Letters of
Credit.  The Borrower shall give the applicable Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent written notice at least five (5) Business Days prior to the
requested date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice to describe in
reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of
the transactions or obligations proposed to be supported by such Letter of
Credit, and in any event shall set forth with respect to such Letter of Credit
the proposed (i) initial Stated Amount, (ii) beneficiary, and (iii) expiration
date (each, a “Notice of Issuance”). The Borrower shall also execute and deliver
such customary applications and agreements for standby letters of credit, and
other forms as requested from time to time by the applicable Issuing Bank. 
Provided the Borrower has given the notice prescribed by the first sentence of
this subsection and delivered such applications and agreements referred to in
the preceding sentence, subject to the other terms and conditions of this
Agreement, including the satisfaction of any applicable conditions precedent set
forth in Section 5.2, the applicable Issuing Bank shall issue the requested
Letter of Credit on the requested date of issuance for the benefit of the
stipulated beneficiary but in no event shall such Issuing Bank be required to
issue the requested Letter of Credit prior to the date five (5) Business Days
following the date after which such Issuing Bank has received all of the items
required to be delivered to it under this subsection.  An Issuing Bank shall not
at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would
conflict with, or cause such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any
Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law.  References herein
to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also
include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit, unless
the context otherwise requires.  Upon the written request of the Borrower, the
applicable Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Borrower a copy of each issued
Letter of Credit issued by it within a reasonable time after the date of
issuance thereof.  To the extent any term of a Letter of Credit Document is
inconsistent with a term of any Loan Document, the term of such Loan Document
shall control.  The Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts, to the
extent practicable, to cause the Letters of Credit to be issued by the Issuing
Banks on

 

31

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

 

a proportionate basis in accordance with their respective proportionate shares
of the L/C Commitments, it being understood that the Borrower will be required
to deliver a Notice of Issuance only to a single Issuing Bank.

 

(d)                                 Reimbursement Obligations.  Upon receipt by
an Issuing Bank from the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit issued by such
Issuing Bank of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit and such
Issuing Bank’s determination that such demand for payment complies with the
requirements of such Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the amount to be paid by such
Issuing Bank as a result of such demand and the date on which payment is to be
made by such Issuing Bank to such beneficiary in respect of such demand;
provided, however, that an Issuing Bank’s failure to give, or delay in giving,
such notice shall not discharge the Borrower in any respect from the applicable
Reimbursement Obligation. The Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably agrees to pay and reimburse each Issuing Bank for the amount of each
demand for payment under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank at or
prior to the date on which payment is to be made by such Issuing Bank to the
beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest or other
formalities of any kind.

 

(e)                                  Manner of Reimbursement.  Upon its receipt
of a notice referred to in the immediately preceding subsection (d), the
Borrower shall advise the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank
whether or not the Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance its
obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank for the amount of the related demand
for payment and, if it does, the Borrower shall submit a timely request for such
borrowing as provided in the applicable provisions of this Agreement.  If the
Borrower fails to so advise the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing
Bank, or if the Borrower fails to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for a
demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the date of such payment, the
failure of which such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative
Agent, then (i) if the applicable conditions contained in Article V would permit
the making of Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing
of Loans (which shall be Base Rate Loans) in an amount equal to the unpaid
Reimbursement Obligation and the Administrative Agent shall give each Lender
prompt notice of the amount of the Loan to be made available to the
Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern time and (ii) if such
conditions would not permit the making of Loans, the provisions of subsection
(j) of this Section shall apply.  The limitations set forth in the second
sentence of Section 2.1(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans
under this subsection.  Upon receipt by an Issuing Bank of any payment in
respect of any Reimbursement Obligation, if such Issuing Bank has received a
payment from a Lender that has acquired a participation therein under the second
sentence of the immediately following subsection (i), such Issuing Bank shall
promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, such
Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such payment in respect of such Reimbursement
Obligation.

 

(f)                                   Effect of Letters of Credit on
Commitments.  Upon the issuance by an Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit and
until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, the Commitment
of each Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement
in an amount equal to the product of (i) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage and
(ii) the sum of (A) the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit plus (B) any
related Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding.

 

(g)                                  Issuing Banks’ Duties Regarding Letters of
Credit; Unconditional Nature of Reimbursement Obligations.  In examining
documents presented in connection with drawings under Letters of Credit and
making payments under such Letters of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank against
such documents, such Issuing Bank shall only be required to use the same
standard of care as it uses in connection with examining documents presented in
connection with drawings under letters of credit in which it has not sold
participations and making payments under such letters of credit.  The Borrower
assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of
Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit.  In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, none of the Issuing Banks,
the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders shall be responsible for, and the
Borrower’s obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall not be affected in
any manner by, (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or
legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the
application for and issuance of or any drawing

 

32

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

 

honored under any Letter of Credit even if such document should in fact prove to
be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or
forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or
assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any 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; (iii) failure of the
beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to strictly comply with conditions required
in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions,
interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail,
cable, facsimile, electronic mail, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be
in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or
delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make
a drawing under any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the
misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds of
any drawing under any Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from
causes beyond the control of the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders.  None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any
of the Issuing Banks’ or Administrative Agent’s rights or powers hereunder.  Any
action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Bank under or in connection
with any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, if taken or omitted in
the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment), shall not create
against such Issuing Bank any liability to the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent or any Lender.  In this connection, the obligation of the Borrower to
reimburse an Issuing Bank for any drawing made under any Letter of Credit issued
by such Issuing Bank, and to repay any Loan made pursuant to the second sentence
of the immediately preceding subsection (e), shall be absolute, unconditional
and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and any other applicable Letter of Credit Document under all
circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation, the following
circumstances:  (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of
Credit Document or any term or provisions therein; (B) any amendment or waiver
of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit
Documents; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which
the Borrower may have at any time against such Issuing Bank, any other Issuing
Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of
Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the
transactions contemplated hereby or in the Letter of Credit Documents or any
unrelated transaction; (D) any breach of contract or dispute between the
Borrower, such Issuing Bank, and any other Issuing Bank, the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or any other Person; (E) any demand, statement or any other
document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent,
invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein or made in
connection therewith being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (F)
any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit
or of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (G) payment by
such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or
certificate which does not strictly comply with the terms of the applicable
Letter of Credit; and (H) any other act, omission to act, delay or circumstance
whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a
legal or equitable defense to or discharge of the Borrower’s Reimbursement
Obligations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
or Section 12.9, but not in limitation of the Borrower’s unconditional
obligation to reimburse each Issuing Bank for any drawing made under a Letter of
Credit issued by it as provided in this Section and to repay any Loan made
pursuant to the second sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (e), the
Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent, any
Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of any liability incurred by the
Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender arising solely out of the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing
Bank or such Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. Except as otherwise
provided in this Section, nothing in this Section shall affect any rights the
Borrower may have with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any
Letter of Credit.

 

(h)                                 Amendments, Etc.  The issuance by an Issuing
Bank of any amendment, supplement or other modification to any Letter of Credit
issued by such Issuing Bank shall be subject to the same conditions applicable
under this Agreement to the issuance of new Letters of Credit (including,
without limitation, that the request therefor be made through the applicable
Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent), and no such amendment, supplement or
other modification shall be issued unless either (i) the respective Letter of
Credit

 

33

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

 

affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been
issued hereunder in such amended, supplemented or modified form or (ii) the
Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if
required by Section 12.6) shall have consented thereto. In connection with any
such amendment, supplement or other modification, the Borrower shall pay the
fees, if any, payable under the last sentence of Section 3.5(c).

 

(i)                                     Lenders’ Participation in Letters of
Credit.  Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Bank of any Letter of
Credit each Lender shall be deemed to have absolutely, irrevocably and
unconditionally purchased and received from such Issuing Bank, without recourse
or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such
Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the liability of such Issuing Bank with
respect to such Letter of Credit and each Lender thereby shall absolutely,
unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety,
and shall be unconditionally obligated to such Issuing Bank to pay and discharge
when due, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the immediately following
subsection (j) below, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Issuing Bank’s
liability under such Letter of Credit. In addition, upon the making of each
payment by a Lender to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing
Bank in respect of any Letter of Credit issued by it pursuant to the immediately
following subsection (j), such Lender shall, automatically and without any
further action on the part of such Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or such
Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the
Reimbursement Obligation owing to such Issuing Bank by the Borrower in respect
of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such
Lender’s Commitment Percentage in any interest or other amounts payable by the
Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees
payable to such Issuing Bank pursuant to the second and the last sentences of
Section 3.5(c)).

 

(j)                                    Payment Obligation of Lenders.  Each
Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
each Issuing Bank, on demand in immediately available funds in Dollars the
amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of each drawing paid by such
Issuing Bank under each Letter of Credit issued by it to the extent such amount
is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding
subsection (d); provided, however, that in respect of any drawing under any
Letter of Credit, the maximum amount that any Lender shall be required to fund,
whether as a Loan or as a participation, shall not exceed such Lender’s
Commitment Percentage of such drawing except as otherwise provided in Section
3.9(d).  If the notice referenced in the second sentence of Section 2.3(e) is
received by a Lender not later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern time, then such Lender
shall make such payment available to the Administrative Agent not later than
1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date of demand therefor; otherwise, such payment
shall be made available to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m.
Eastern time on the next succeeding Business Day.  Each Lender’s obligation to
make such payments to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, and the
Administrative Agent’s right to receive the same for the account of the
applicable Issuing Bank, shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and
shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance whatsoever, including
without limitation, (i) the failure of any other Lender to make its payment
under this subsection, (ii) the financial condition of the Borrower or any other
Loan Party, (iii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default, including
any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(e) or (f), (iv) the termination
of the Commitments or (v) the delivery of Cash Collateral in respect of any
Extended Letter of Credit. Each such payment to the Administrative Agent for the
account of an Issuing Bank shall be made without any offset, abatement,
withholding or deduction whatsoever.

 

(k)                                 Information to Lenders.  Promptly following
any change in Letters of Credit outstanding, the applicable Issuing Bank shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly deliver the same to each
Lender and the Borrower, a notice describing the aggregate amount of all Letters
of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank outstanding at such time.  Upon the
request of any Lender through the Administrative Agent from time to time, an
Issuing Bank shall deliver any other information reasonably requested by such
Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it then outstanding to
the Administrative Agent for delivery to such Lender.  Other than as set forth
in this subsection, neither any Issuing Bank nor the Administrative Agent shall
have any duty to notify the Lenders regarding the issuance or other matters
regarding Letters of Credit issued hereunder.  The failure of any Issuing Bank
or the Administrative Agent to perform its requirements

 

34

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

 

under this subsection shall not relieve any Lender from its obligations under
the immediately preceding subsection (j).

 

(l)                                     Extended Letters of Credit.  Each Lender
confirms that its obligations under the immediately preceding subsections (i)
and (j) shall be reinstated in full and apply if the delivery of any Cash
Collateral in respect of an Extended Letter of Credit is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to
be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise.

 

2.4                               Swingline Loans.

 

(a)                                 Swingline Loans.  Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, including without limitation Section 2.14, each Swingline
Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower, during the period from
the Effective Date to but excluding the Swingline Maturity Date, in an aggregate
principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding,
$75,000,000, as such amount may be reduced from time to time in accordance with
the terms hereof.  If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the
Swingline Loans made by a Swingline Lender outstanding at such time exceeds the
Swingline Commitment in effect at such time, the Borrower shall immediately pay
the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender the
amount of such excess.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder.

 

(b)                                 Procedure for Borrowing Swingline Loans. 
The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender notice
pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing or telephonic notice of each
borrowing of a Swingline Loan.  Each Notice of Swingline Borrowing shall be
delivered to the applicable Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent no
later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on the proposed date of such borrowing.  Any
telephonic notice shall include all information to be specified in a written
Notice of Swingline Borrowing and shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the
Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing sent to the applicable
Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent by telecopy on the same day of the
giving of such telephonic notice.  Not later than 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on the
date of the requested Swingline Loan, the applicable Swingline Lender will make
the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Administrative Agent at its
Principal Office in Dollars, in immediately available funds for the account of
the Borrower.  The amount so received by the Administrative Agent shall, subject
to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.2 for
such borrowing, be made available to the Borrower by depositing same, in
immediately available funds, in an account of the Borrower designated by the
Borrower in the Notice of Swingline Borrowing.

 

(c)                                  Interest.  Swingline Loans shall bear
interest at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to
time plus the then current Applicable Margin for Loans that are Base Rate Loans
or at such other rate or rates as the Borrower and the applicable Swingline
Lender may agree from time to time in writing.  Interest on Swingline Loans is
solely for the account of the Swingline Lender that made such Swingline Loan
(except to the extent a Lender acquires a participating interest in such
Swingline Loan pursuant to the immediately following subsection (e)).  All
accrued and unpaid interest on Swingline Loans shall be payable on the dates and
in the manner provided in Section 2.5 with respect to interest on Loans that are
Base Rate Loans (except as the applicable Swingline Lender and the Borrower may
otherwise agree in writing in connection with any particular Swingline Loan made
by such Swingline Lender).

 

(d)                                 Swingline Loan Amounts, Etc.  Each Swingline
Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of
$500,000 in excess thereof, or such other minimum amounts agreed to by a
Swingline Lender and the Borrower.  Any voluntary prepayment of a Swingline Loan
must be in integral multiples of $100,000 or the aggregate principal amount of
all outstanding Swingline Loans (or such other minimum amounts upon which the
Swingline Lender that made such Swingline Loans and the Borrower may agree) and
in connection with any such prepayment, the Borrower must give such Swingline
Lender and the Administrative Agent prior written notice thereof no later than
11:00 a.m. Eastern time on the day prior to the

 

35

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

 

date of such prepayment.  The Swingline Loans owing to a Swingline Lender shall,
in addition to this Agreement, be evidenced by a Swingline Note in favor of such
Swingline Lender.

 

(e)                                  Repayment and Participations of Swingline
Loans.  The Borrower agrees to repay each Swingline Loan within one Business Day
of demand therefor by the Swingline Lender that made such Swingline Loan and, in
any event, within five (5) Business Days after the date such Swingline Loan was
made; provided, that the proceeds of a Swingline Loan may not be used to pay a
Swingline Loan.  Any Swingline Lender making demand for repayment of a Swingline
Loan made by such Swingline Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
demand on the date such demand is made.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued
but unpaid interest on, the Swingline Loans on the Swingline Maturity Date (or
such earlier date as a Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree in writing
with respect to such Swingline Lender).  If the Borrower does not timely repay a
Swingline Loan in accordance with the foregoing, the Borrower shall be deemed to
have delivered a Notice of Borrowing as of 9:00 a.m. Eastern time on the
Business Day immediately following such Swingline Maturity Date (or such earlier
date as a Swingline Lender and the Borrower may have agreed in writing with
respect to such Swingline Lender) in an amount equal to the outstanding balance
of the unpaid Swingline Loan.  The amount limitations contained in the second
sentence of Section 2.1(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of such Loans made
pursuant to this subsection.  The Swingline Lender shall give notice to the
Administrative Agent of any such unpaid Swingline Loan not later than 10:00 a.m.
Eastern time at least one Business Day prior to the proposed date of such deemed
borrowing.  Promptly after receipt of such notice from a Swingline Lender under
the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall notify each
Lender of the proposed borrowing.  Not later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on the
proposed date of such borrowing, each Lender will make available to the
Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of the applicable
Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Loan to be
made by such Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall pay the proceeds of such
Loans to the applicable Swingline Lender, which shall apply such proceeds to
repay such Swingline Loan.  If the Lenders are prohibited from making Loans
required to be made under this subsection for any reason whatsoever, including
without limitation, the occurrence of any of the Defaults or Events of Default
described in Sections 10.1(e) or (f), each Lender shall purchase from the
applicable Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest
and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such
Swingline Loan, by directly purchasing a participation in such Swingline Loan in
such amount and paying the proceeds thereof to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the applicable Swingline Lender in Dollars and in immediately
available funds. A Lender’s obligation to purchase such a participation in a
Swingline Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by
any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) any claim of
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or
any other Person may have or claim against the Administrative Agent, any
Swingline Lender or any other Person whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or
continuation of a Default or Event of Default (including without limitation, any
of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 10.1(e) or (f)), or
the termination of any Lender’s Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged
existence) of an event or condition which has had or could have a Material
Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of any Loan Document by the Administrative
Agent, any Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or (v) any other
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing.  If such amount is not in fact made available to the applicable
Swingline Lender by any Lender, such 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 applicable
Swingline Lender’s demand therefor, and until such time as such Lender makes the
required payment, the applicable 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 Loan 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 it hereunder, to the
applicable 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 until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such
assignment or otherwise).

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

 

2.5                               Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.

 

(a)                                 Rates.  The Borrower promises to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid
principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the period from and
including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such
Loan shall be paid in full, during such periods as such Loan is (i) a Base Rate
Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time), plus the Applicable
Margin for Base Rate Loans and (ii) a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR for the Interest
Period therefor, plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, while an Event of Default exists, the Borrower
shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, the
Swingline Lenders and the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, interest at the
Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of Loans made by such
Lender, on the outstanding amount of all Swingline Loans, on all Reimbursement
Obligations, respectively, and on any other amount payable by the Borrower
hereunder or under the Notes held by such Lenders to or for the account of such
Lenders (including without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent
permitted under Applicable Law).

 

(b)                                 Payment of Interest.  All accrued and unpaid
interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall be payable (i)
monthly in arrears on the first day of each month, commencing with the first
full calendar month occurring after the Effective Date and (ii) on any date on
which the principal balance of such Loan is due and payable in full (whether at
maturity, due to acceleration or otherwise).  Interest payable at the
Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand.  All
determinations by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall
be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrower for all purposes,
absent manifest error.

 

(c)                                  Borrower Information Used to Determine
Applicable Interest Rates.  The parties understand that the applicable interest
rate for the Obligations and certain fees set forth herein may be determined
and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or
other information to be provided or certified to the Lenders by the Borrower
(the “Borrower Information”).  If it is subsequently determined that any such
Borrower Information was incorrect (for whatever reason, including without
limitation because of a subsequent restatement of earnings by the Borrower) at
the time it was delivered to the Administrative Agent, and if the applicable
interest rate or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have
been had the correct information been timely provided, then, such interest rate
and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct
Borrower Information.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the
Borrower in writing of any additional interest and fees due because of such
recalculation, and the Borrower shall pay such additional interest or fees due
to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, within five (5)
Business Days of receipt of such written notice.  Any recalculation of interest
or fees required by this provision shall survive the termination of this
Agreement, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of any Agent’s, any
Issuing Bank’s, or any Lender’s other rights under this Agreement.

 

2.6                               Number of Interest Periods.

 

There may be no more than eight different Interest Periods for LIBOR Loans
outstanding at the same time.

 

2.7                               Repayment of Loans.

 

The Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all
accrued but unpaid interest on, all Loans on the Termination Date.

 

37

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

 

2.8                               Prepayments.

 

(a)                                 Optional.  Subject to Section 4.4, the
Borrower may prepay any Loan in whole or in part at any time without premium or
penalty.  The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at least three (3)
Business Days prior written notice of the prepayment of any Loan.  Each
voluntary prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount
of $500,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess thereof.  Each
voluntary prepayment of LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum of
$1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount.

 

(b)                                 Mandatory.

 

(i)                                     Commitment Overadvance; Financial
Covenants Compliance.  If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all
outstanding Loans and Swingline Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all
Letter of Credit Liabilities, exceeds the aggregate amount of the Commitments,
the Borrower shall immediately upon demand pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Lenders, the amount of such excess.

 

(ii)                                  Application of Mandatory Prepayments. 
Amounts paid under the preceding subsection (b)(i) shall be applied to pay all
amounts of principal outstanding on the Loans and any Reimbursement Obligations
pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2 and if any Letters of Credit are
outstanding at such time, the remainder, if any, shall be deposited into the
Letter of Credit Collateral Account for application to any Reimbursement
Obligations.  If the Borrower is required to pay any outstanding LIBOR Loans by
reason of this Section prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period
therefor, the Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 4.4.

 

2.9                               Continuation.

 

So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower may on any
Business Day, with respect to any LIBOR Loan, elect to maintain such LIBOR Loan
or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for
such LIBOR Loan.  Each Continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate
minimum amount of $2,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of
that amount, and each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall
commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period.  Each
selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by the Borrower giving to the
Administrative Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern
time on the third Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation.  Such
notice by the Borrower of a Continuation shall be by telecopy, electronic mail
or other similar form of communication in the form of a Notice of Continuation,
specifying (a) the proposed date of such Continuation, (b) the LIBOR Loans and
portions of such Loans subject to such Continuation and (c) the duration of the
selected Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is
necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder.  Each
Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once
given.  Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Continuation, the Administrative
Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Continuation.  If the Borrower
shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan
in accordance with this Section, such Loan will automatically, on the last day
of the current Interest Period therefor, continue as a LIBOR Loan with an
Interest Period of one month; provided, however, that if a Default or Event of
Default exists, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current
Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan notwithstanding the
first sentence of Section 2.10 or the Borrower’s failure to comply with any of
the terms of such Section.

 

2.10                        Conversion.

 

The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon the Borrower’s giving of a Notice of
Conversion to the Administrative Agent by telecopy, electronic mail or other
similar form of communication, Convert all or a portion of a Loan of one Type
into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, a Base Rate Loan may not be

 

38

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

 

Converted into a LIBOR Loan if a Default or Event of Default exists.  Each
Conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum
amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that
amount.  Each such Notice of Conversion shall be given not later than 10:00 a.m.
Eastern time 3 Business Days prior to the date of any proposed Conversion. 
Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Administrative Agent shall
notify each Lender holding Loans being Converted of the proposed Conversion. 
Subject to the restrictions specified above, each Notice of Conversion shall be
by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of communication in the form
of a Notice of Conversion specifying (a) the requested date of such Conversion,
(b) the Type of Loan to be Converted, (c) the portion of such Type of Loan to be
Converted, (d) the Type of Loan such Loan is to be Converted into and (e) if
such Conversion is into a LIBOR Loan, the requested duration of the Interest
Period of such Loan.  Each Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable by and
binding on the Borrower once given.

 

2.11                        Notes.

 

(a)                                 Notes.  Except in the case of a Lender that
has requested not to receive a Note, the Loans made by such Lender shall, in
addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Note or payable to the order
of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Commitment as
originally in effect (or otherwise in effect at the time that the Note is
issued) and otherwise duly completed. The Swingline Loans made by a Swingline
Lender to the Borrower shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced
by a Swingline Note payable to the order of such Swingline Lender.

 

(b)                                 Records.  The date, amount, interest rate,
Type and duration of Interest Periods (if applicable) of each Loan made by each
Lender to the Borrower and each payment made on account of the principal
thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books and such entries shall be
binding on the Borrower absent manifest error; provided, however, that (i) the
failure of a Lender to make any such record shall not affect the obligations of
the Borrower under any of the Loan Documents and (ii) if there is a discrepancy
between such records of a Lender and the statements of accounts maintained by
the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.8, in the absence of manifest
error, the statements of account maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to Section 3.8 shall be controlling.

 

(c)                                  Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated
Notes.  Upon receipt by the Borrower of (i) written notice from a Lender that a
Note of such Lender has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, and (ii)(A)
in the case of loss, theft or destruction, an unsecured agreement of indemnity
from such Lender in form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, or (B) in the
case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Borrower
shall at its own expense execute and deliver to such Lender a new Note dated the
date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

 

2.12                        Voluntary Reductions of the Commitment.

 

The Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce the aggregate unused
amount of the Commitments (for which purpose use of the Commitments shall be
deemed to include the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities and
the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans) at any time and from time
to time without penalty or premium upon not less than five (5) Business Days
prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of each such termination or
reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount
of any such reduction (which in the case of any partial reduction of the
Commitments shall not be less than $10,000,000 and integral multiples of
$5,000,000 in excess of that amount in the aggregate) and shall be irrevocable
once given and effective only upon receipt by the Administrative Agent
(“Commitment Reduction Notice”). Promptly after receipt of a Commitment
Reduction Notice the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the
proposed termination or Commitment reduction.  The Commitments, once reduced or
terminated pursuant to this Section, may not be increased or reinstated except
in accordance with Section 2.15.  The Borrower shall pay all interest on the
Loans, and Fees under Section 3.5(b) with respect to the amount of the
Commitment being reduced, accrued to the date of such reduction or

 

39

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

 

termination of the Commitments to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Lenders, including but not limited to any applicable compensation due to
each Lender in accordance with Section 4.4.

 

2.13                        Extension of Termination Date.

 

(a)                                 First Extension.  The Termination Date may

The Borrower shall exercise such option by executing and delivering to the
Administrative Agent at least 30 days but not more than 90 days prior to the
First Extended Termination Date, a written request for such extension (a “Second

which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all
respects) on and as of the date of such extension with the same force and effect
as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations
and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such
representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material
respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by

respects) on and as of the date of such extension with the same force and effect
as if

 

40

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

“Termination Date” shall refer to the Third Extended Termination Date.

 

2.14                        Amount Limitations.

 

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no
Lender shall be required to make a Loan, no Swingline Lender shall be required
to make a Swingline Loan, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue a Letter of
Credit and no reduction of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.12 shall take
effect, if immediately after the making of any such Loan, the issuance of such
Letter of Credit or such reduction in the Commitments, the aggregate principal
amount of all outstanding Loans and Swingline Loans, together with the aggregate
amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, would exceed the aggregate amount of
the Commitments at such time.

 

2.15                        Increase in Commitments.

 

The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the
period beginning on the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date to
request increases in the aggregate amount of the Commitments by providing
written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable
once given; provided, however, that after giving effect to any such increases of
the Commitments, the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall not exceed
$1,500,000,000. Each such increase in the Commitments must be an aggregate
minimum amount of $50,000,000 and integral multiples of $10,000,000 in excess
thereof.  The Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, shall
manage all aspects of the syndication of such increase in the Commitments,
including decisions as to the selection of the existing Lenders and/or other
banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to be approached
with respect to any such increase in the Commitments and the allocations of any
increase in the Commitments among such existing Lenders and/or other banks,
financial institutions and other institutional lenders.  No Lender shall be
obligated in any way whatsoever to increase its Commitment or to provide a new
Commitment, and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection
with any such requested increase of the Commitments must be an Eligible
Assignee.  If a new Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, or if any existing
Lender is increasing its Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a
Lender hereunder (or in the case of an existing Lender, increases its
Commitment) (and as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Lenders its
Commitment Percentage (determined with respect to the Lenders’ respective
Commitments and after giving effect to the increase of Commitments) of any
outstanding Loans, by making available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such other Lenders, in same day funds, an amount equal to (A) the
portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Loans to be purchased by
such Lender, plus (B) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the
other Lenders under Section 2.3(j) that have not been repaid, plus (C) interest
accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding
principal amount of such Loans. The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders amounts
payable, if any, to such Lenders under Section 4.4 as a result of the prepayment
of any such Loans.  Effecting any increase of the Commitments under this Section
is subject to the following conditions precedent:  (x) no Default or Event of
Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase of the
Commitments, (y) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the
Borrower or any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which such Loan Party
is a party shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the
case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case
such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on
the effective date of any such increase in the Commitments except to the extent
that such representations and

 

41

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

 

warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such
representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material
respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by
materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true
in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in
factual circumstances expressly permitted hereunder, and (z) the Administrative
Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:  (i) if not previously delivered to
the Administrative Agent, copies certified by the Secretary or Assistant
Secretary of (A) all corporate and other necessary action taken by the Borrower
to authorize such increase of the Commitments or and (B) all corporate and other
necessary action taken by each Guarantor authorizing the guaranty of such
increase of the Commitments; (ii) an opinion of counsel to the Borrower and the
Guarantors, and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders covering
such matters as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, and (iii) new
Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any new Lenders and replacement Notes
executed by the Borrower, payable to any existing Lenders increasing their
Commitments, in the amount of such Lender’s Commitment at the time of the
effectiveness of the applicable increase in the aggregate amount of the
Commitments (excluding any Lender that has requested that it not receive Notes).
In connection with any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments
pursuant to this Section 2.15, any Lender becoming a party hereto shall (1)
execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
request and (2) in the case of any Lender that is organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, provide to the
Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such
other information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply
with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations,
including without limitation, the Patriot Act.

 

2.16                        Funds Transfer Disbursements.

 

The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds
of any Loan made by the Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Loan
Documents as requested by an authorized representative of the Borrower to any of
the accounts designated in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement.

 

ARTICLE III

 

PAYMENTS, FEES AND OTHER GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

3.1                               Payments.

 

(a)                                 Payments by Borrower.  Except to the extent
otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest, Fees and other
amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes or any other
Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without
setoff, deduction or counterclaim (excluding Taxes required to be withheld
pursuant to Section 3.10), to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office,
not later than 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date on which such payment shall
become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed
to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Subject to Section 10.5,
the Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, specify to the Administrative Agent the amounts payable
by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied.  Each payment
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender under this
Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender by wire transfer of
immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided
by such Lender to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of
such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender.  Each payment
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank under
this Agreement shall be paid to the applicable Issuing Bank by wire transfer of
immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided
by such Issuing Bank to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the
account of such Issuing Bank.  In the event the Administrative Agent fails to
pay such amounts to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, (i) by
5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Business Day such funds are received by the
Administrative Agent, if such amounts are received by 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on
such date or (ii) by 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Business Day

 

42

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

 

following the date such funds are received by the Administrative Agent, if such
amounts are received after 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on any Business Day, the
Administrative Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per
annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If the due
date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would
otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended
to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the
rate, if any, applicable to such payment for the period of such extension.

 

(b)                                 Presumptions Regarding Payments by
Borrower.  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 any of the Lenders or Issuing Banks 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
(but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to
the applicable Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, 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 applicable Lenders or applicable Issuing Banks, as the case may
be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand that amount
so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, 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.

 

3.2                               Pro Rata Treatment.

 

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein:  (a) each borrowing from the
Lenders under Sections 2.1(a), 2.3(e) and 2.4(e) shall be made from the Lenders,
each payment of the fees under Section 3.5(b), the first sentence of Section
3.5(c), and Section 3.5(d) shall be made for the account of the Lenders, and
each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments under Section
2.12 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata
according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) each payment or
prepayment of principal of Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders
pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans
held by them, provided that, subject to Section 3.9, if immediately prior to
giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Loans the outstanding
principal amount of the Loans shall not be held by the Lenders pro rata in
accordance with their respective Commitments in effect at the time such Loans
were made, then such payment shall be applied to the Loans in such manner as
shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount
of the Loans being held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their
respective Commitments; (c) each payment of interest on Loans shall be made for
the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest
on such Loans then due and payable to the Lenders; (d) the Conversion and
Continuation of Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for
by Section 4.1) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders according to the
amounts of their respective Loans and the then current Interest Period for each
Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous; (e) the
Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Swingline
Loans under Section 2.4, shall be in accordance with their respective Commitment
Percentages; and (f) the Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in
respect of, Letters of Credit under Section 2.3, shall be in accordance with
their respective Commitment Percentages. All payments of principal, interest,
fees and other amounts in respect of the Swingline Loans shall be for the
account of the Swingline Lender only (except to the extent any Lender shall have
acquired a participating interest in any such Swingline Loan pursuant to Section
2.4(e), in which case such payments shall be pro rata in accordance with such
participating interests).  Any payment or prepayment of principal or interest
made during the existence of a Default or Event of Default shall be made for the
account of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks in accordance with the order set
forth in Section 10.5.

 

3.3                               Sharing of Payments, Etc.

 

If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan
made by it to the Borrower under this Agreement or shall obtain payment on any
other Obligation owing by the Borrower or any

 

43

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

 

other Loan Party through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien,
counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments
directly to a Lender, or other payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower or
any other Loan Party to a Lender (other than any payment in respect of Specified
Derivatives Obligations) not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and
such payment should be distributed in accordance with Section 3.2 or Section
10.5, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations
in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the
Loans made by the other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders
in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be
equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such
payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may actually be incurred by such
Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) in accordance with the
requirements of Section 3.2 or Section 10.5, as applicable.  To such end, all
the Lenders obtaining any such payment (including by purchase of any
participation) shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the
resale of participations sold or otherwise) if any such payment is rescinded or
must otherwise be restored.  The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a
participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to
such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien,
counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if
such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. 
Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or
shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise and retain the benefits of
exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation
of the Borrower.

 

3.4                               Several Obligations.

 

No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a
Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other
Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any
other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the
obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other
obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

 

3.5                               Fees.

 

(a)                                 Closing Fee.  On the Effective Date, the
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and each Lender all loan fees
as have been agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

 

(b)                                 Unused Fee; Facility Fee.  The Borrower
shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders an unused
commitment fee (the “Unused Fee”), from the date hereof or upon the
effectiveness of any Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it became a
Lender until the Termination Date or in the event that the Borrower obtains an
Investment Grade Rating, until the end of the quarter during which the
Administrative Agent receives notice that the Borrower has made a Ratings Grid
Election, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June,
September and December, commencing on March 31, 2018, and on the Termination
Date.  The Unused Fee for the account of each Lender shall be calculated for
each period for which the Unused Fee is payable on the average daily Unused
Commitment of such Lender during such period at the rate per annum equal to, (a)
for any period in which the average daily Unused Commitment of such Lender for
such period is less than or equal to 50% of such Lender’s aggregate Commitments,
0.15% per annum, and (b) for any period in which the average daily Unused
Commitment of such Lender for such period is greater than 50% of such Lender’s
aggregate Commitments, 0.25% per annum.  The Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders a facility fee (the
“Facility Fee”) from the first day of the first quarter following a Ratings Grid
election by the Borrower until the Termination Date, payable in arrears
quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December, and on
the Termination Date.  The Facility Fee for the account of each Lender shall be
calculated for each period for which the Facility Fee is payable based on a rate
per annum equal to the Applicable Facility Fee Percentage times the actual daily
amount of each Lender’s Commitment, regardless of usage.  The Borrower
acknowledges that the fees payable hereunder are bona fide commitment fees and
are intended as reasonable compensation to the Lenders for committing to make
funds available to the Borrower as described herein and for no other purposes.

 

44

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

 

(c)                                  Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrower agrees
to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a letter of
credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans
times the daily average Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit for the period
from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (x) to and
including the date such Letter of Credit expires or is cancelled or terminated
or (y) to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full;
provided, however, while any Event of Default exists, such letter of credit fee
shall accrue at the Post-Default Rate. In addition to such fees, the Borrower
shall pay to the applicable Issuing Bank solely for its own account, a fronting
fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it equal to one-eighth of one
percent (0.125%) of the initial Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit;
provided, however, in no event shall the aggregate amount of such fee in respect
of any Letter of Credit be less than $1,000.  The fees provided for in this
subsection shall be nonrefundable and payable, in the case of the fee provided
for in the first sentence, in arrears (i) quarterly on the last day of each
March, June, September and December, commencing on March 31, 2018, (ii) on the
Termination Date, (iii) on the date the Commitments are terminated or reduced to
zero and (iv) thereafter from time to time on demand of the Administrative Agent
and in the case of the fee provided for in the second sentence, at the time of
issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall pay directly to each
Issuing Bank from time to time on demand all commissions, charges, costs and
expenses in the amounts customarily charged or incurred by such Issuing Bank
from time to time in like circumstances with respect to the issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit by such Issuing Bank or any other
transaction relating thereto.

 

(d)                                 Extension Fee.  If the Borrower exercises
its right to extend the Termination Date to the Second Extended Termination Date
or the Third Extended Termination Date in accordance with Section 2.13(b) or
Section 2.13(c), the Borrower agrees to pay in each case to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Lender a fee equal to three-fortieths of one
percent (0.075%) of the amount of such Lender’s Commitment (whether or not
utilized).  Such fee shall be due and payable in full on the date the
Administrative Agent receives a Second Extension Notice or a Third Extension
Notice pursuant to such Section.

 

(e)                                  Administrative and Other Fees.  The
Borrower agrees to pay the administrative and other fees as provided in the Fee
Letter and as may be otherwise agreed to in writing from time to time by the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

 

3.6                               Computations.

 

Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan,
any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis
of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.

 

3.7                               Usury.

 

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other
Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and,
if any such payment is paid by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or received
by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal,
unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the
Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith.  It is the
express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders
not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in
excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law. 
The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon
the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall
be the interest specifically described in Section 2.5(a)(i) and (ii) and, with
respect to Swingline Loans, in Section 2.4(c).  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication
fees, facility fees, closing fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees,
default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost
charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by
the

 

45

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

 

Administrative Agent or any Lender, in each case, in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are
charges made to compensate the Administrative Agent or any such Lender for
underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or
incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be
deemed to be charges for the use of money. All charges other than charges for
the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.

 

3.8                               Statements of Account.

 

The Administrative Agent will account to the Borrower monthly with a statement
of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the
Administrative Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon the Borrower absent
manifest error.  The failure of the Administrative Agent to deliver such a
statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrower from any of
its obligations hereunder.

 

3.9                               Defaulting Lenders.

 

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

 

(a)                                 Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting
Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with
respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of
Requisite Lenders and in Section 12.6.

 

(b)                                 Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of
principal, interest, Fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent
for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at
maturity, pursuant to Article X or otherwise) or received by the Administrative
Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.3 shall be applied at such
time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: 
first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the
Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of
any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks or the
Swingline Lenders hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’
aggregate Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance
with subsection (e) below; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no
Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of
which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required
by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so
determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit
account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s
potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement
and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future aggregate Fronting Exposure
with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit
issued under this Agreement, in accordance with subsection (e) below; sixth, to
the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the
Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender
against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of
its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of
Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result
of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower
against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of
its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or
as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x)
such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or amounts owing
by such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.3(j) in respect of Letters of Credit
(such amounts “L/C Disbursements”), in respect of which such Defaulting Lender
has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the
related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in
Article V were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay
the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro
rata basis prior to being

 

46

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

 

applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such
Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans, and, as applicable, all funded
and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swingline Loans,
are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment
Percentages (determined without giving effect to the immediately following
subsection (d)). 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 subsection shall be deemed
paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably
consents hereto.

 

(c)                                  Certain Fees.

 

(i)                                     No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled
to receive any Fee payable under Section 3.5(b) 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).

 

(ii)                                  Each Defaulting Lender that is a Lender
shall be entitled to receive the Fee payable under Section 3.5(c) for any period
during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to
its Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it
has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to the immediately following subsection
(e).

 

(iii)                               With respect to any Fee not required to be
paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (i)
or (ii), the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that is a
Lender the portion of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender
with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit
Liabilities or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting
Lender pursuant to the immediately following subsection (d), (y) pay to each
Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such
Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such
Issuing Bank’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting
Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such Fee.

 

(d)                                 Reallocation of Participations to Reduce
Fronting Exposure.  In the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Lender, all or
any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit
Liabilities and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting
Lenders that are Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment
Percentages (determined without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment)
but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate
Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s
Commitment.  No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of
any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that
Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a
Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased
exposure following such reallocation.

 

(e)                                  Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline
Loans.

 

(i)                                     If the reallocation described in the
immediately preceding subsection (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be
effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available
to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount
equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash
Collateralize each Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this subsection.

 

(ii)                                  At any time that there shall exist a
Defaulting Lender that is a Lender, within 1 Business Day following the written
request of an Agent or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Agents), the Borrower
shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ aggregate Fronting Exposure with
respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to the
immediately preceding subsection (d) and any Cash Collateral provided by such
Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less

 

47

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

 

than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Banks with respect to
Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time.

 

(iii)                               The Borrower, and to the extent provided by
any Defaulting Lender that is a Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to
the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, and agree to
maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as
security for the obligations of Defaulting Lenders that are Lenders to fund
participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities, to be applied
pursuant to the immediately following clause (iv).  If at any time the
Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is
subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Collateral Agent and
the Issuing Banks as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash
Collateral is less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Banks
with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time, the
Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Collateral Agent or the
Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Collateral Agent additional Cash
Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving
effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

 

(iv)                              Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section in
respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the
obligation of a Defaulting Lender that is a Lender to fund participations in
respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities (including, as to Cash Collateral
provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for
which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of
such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

 

(v)                                 Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion
thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Banks’ aggregate Fronting Exposure shall
no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection
following (x) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by
the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (y)
the determination by the Agents (or either thereof) and the Issuing Banks that
there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to the immediately
preceding subsection (b), the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing
Banks may (but shall not be obligated to) agree that Cash Collateral shall be
held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and
provided, further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by
the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest
granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

 

(f)                                   Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent, and solely in the case of a Defaulting Lender that
is a Lender, the Swingline Lenders and the Issuing Banks, agree in writing that
a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so
notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such
notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which, in the case of a
Defaulting Lender that is a Lender, may include arrangements with respect to any
Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par
that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other
actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause, as
applicable, the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of
Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with
their respective Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to the
immediately preceding subsection (d)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a
Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with
respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while
that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the
extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder
from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any
claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting
Lender.

 

(g)                                  New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit.  So
long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be
required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no
Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuing
Bank shall be required to

 

48

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

 

issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied
that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

 

(h)                                 Purchase of Defaulting Lender’s
Commitment/Loans.  During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the
Borrower may, by the Borrower giving written notice thereof to the
Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that
such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment and Loans to an Eligible Assignee
subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.5(b).  No party
hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or
to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee.  In addition, any Lender who is not a
Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to
acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s
Commitment and Loans via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the
provisions of Section 12.5(b).  In connection with any such assignment, such
Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to
effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption and,
notwithstanding Section 12.5(b), shall pay to the Administrative Agent an
assignment fee in the amount of $7,500.  The exercise by the Borrower of its
rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and
at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders.

 

3.10                        Taxes.

 

(a)                                 Issuing Bank.  For purposes of this Section,
the term “Lender” includes each Issuing Bank and the term “Applicable Law”
includes FATCA.

 

(b)                                 Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all
payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan
Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for
any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law.  If any Applicable Law (as
determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent)
requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a
Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to
make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted
or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable
Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower
or other applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after
such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and
withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the
applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such deduction or withholding been made.

 

(c)                                  Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. 
The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of
the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other
Taxes.

 

(d)                                 Indemnification by the Borrower.  The
Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each
Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such
Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such
Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however, that neither
the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall be liable to indemnify any Lender or
Participant for any Taxes attributable to a Lender’s failure to comply with the
provisions of Section 12.5 relating to the maintenance of a Participant
Register. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered
to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(e)                                  Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each
Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after
demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but
only to the extent that the Borrower or another Loan Party has not already
indemnified the Administrative

 

49

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

 

Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the
Borrower and the other Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to
such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.5 relating to
the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes
attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the
Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set
off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any
Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender
from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under
this subsection.  The provisions of this subsection shall continue to inure to
the benefit of an Administrative Agent following its resignation or removal as
Administrative Agent.

 

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

 

(g)                                  Status of Lenders.

 

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

 

(ii)                                  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing:

 

(A)                               any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which
such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form)
certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

 

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

 

50

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

 

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

 

(II)          an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

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

 

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

 

(C)          any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to
do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of
copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which
such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent) of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis
for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly
completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed
by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to
determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

 

(D)          if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be
subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to
fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including
those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as
applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable 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

 

51

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

 

1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be
necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their
obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such
Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and
withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA”
shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered
expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such
form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

 

(h)           Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its
sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by
the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the
indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise
to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such
indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying
party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such
indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay
any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of
which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax
position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to
indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld
or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with
respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed
to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other
information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the
indemnifying party or any other Person.

 

(i)            Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section shall
survive the resignation or replacement of any Agent or any assignment of rights
by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the
repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

 

ARTICLE IV

 

YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

 

4.1          Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

 

(a)           Capital Adequacy.  If any Lender determines that any Regulatory
Change affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such
Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements,
has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s
capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made
by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such
Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company
could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration
such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with
respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower
will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

 

(b)           Additional Costs.  In addition to, and not in limitation of the
immediately preceding subsection, the Borrower shall promptly pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts
as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any
costs

 

52

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

 

incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making or
maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make or Continue, or Convert
any Loans into, any LIBOR Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount
receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or such obligation or the
maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its LIBOR Loans or its
Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being
herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that:

 

(i)            changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such
Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any
of such LIBOR Loans or its Commitments (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes
described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and
Connection Income Taxes);

 

(ii)           imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, liquidity,
compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirements (other than Regulation
D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar
reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category
of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate
on LIBOR Loans is determined to the extent utilized when determining LIBOR for
such Loans) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any
deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other
acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any
commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of
such Lender hereunder); or

 

(iii)          imposes on any Lender or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or the
Loans made by such Lender.

 

(c)           Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans.  Without limiting the effect
of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsections (a) and (b), if by
reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs
based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a
category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits
by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided
in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such
Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the
amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if
such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to
Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such
Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of
Section 4.5 shall apply).

 

(d)           Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit.  Without
limiting the obligations of the Borrower under the preceding subsections of this
Section (but without duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or
any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement heretofore or hereafter
issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed, modified or deemed
applicable any Tax (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses
(b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and Connection Income
Taxes), reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy, liquidity or similar
requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of
Credit and the result shall be to increase the cost to an Issuing Bank of
issuing (or any Lender of purchasing participations in) or maintaining its
obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of
Credit or reduce any amount receivable by such Issuing Bank or any Lender
hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, upon demand by such Issuing
Bank or such Lender, the Borrower shall pay promptly, and in any event within 3
Business Days of demand, to such Issuing Bank or, in the case of such Lender, to
the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as
specified by such Issuing Bank or such Lender, such additional amounts as shall
be sufficient to compensate such Issuing Bank or such Lender for such increased
costs or reductions in amount.

 

(e)           Notification and Determination of Additional Costs.  Each of the
Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, as the case may be,
agrees to notify the Borrower (and in the case of an Issuing

 

53

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

 

Bank and or a Lender, to notify the Administrative Agent) of any event occurring
after the Agreement Date entitling the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank
or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this
Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to give such notice shall
not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, except to the
extent set forth in the immediately following subsection (f); provided, further,
that the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or a Lender, as the case may be,
shall not be entitled to submit a claim for compensation based upon a Regulatory
Change described in the last sentence of the definition of the term “Regulatory
Change” unless such Person shall have determined that the making of such claim
is consistent with its general practices under similar circumstances in respect
of similarly situated borrowers with credit agreements entitling it to make such
claims (it being agreed that none of the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank
or a Lender shall be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary
information in connection with such determination or the making of such claim).
The Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, as the case may be,
agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case of an Issuing Bank or a
Lender to the Administrative Agent as well) a certificate setting forth the
basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section. 
Determinations by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as
the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay the
Administrative Agent, any such Issuing Bank or any such Lender, as the case may
be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt
thereof.

 

(f)            Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or
Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right
to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to
compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six
months prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
notifies the Borrower of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim
compensation therefor (except that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred
to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

4.2          Suspension of LIBOR Loans.

 

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the
determination of LIBOR for any Interest Period:

 

(a)           the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do
not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period;

 

(b)           the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that quotations of
interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR
are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities
for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Loans as provided
herein; or

 

(c)           the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that the relevant rates
of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR upon the basis of which the
rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined
are not likely to adequately cover the cost to any Lender of making or
maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period;

 

then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt
notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders
shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans,
Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans, and such Lender’s LIBOR
Loans shall be treated in accordance with Section 4.5.

 

54

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

 

4.3          Illegality.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall
determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is
unlawful due to a change in (or the interpretation of), or adoption of, any law
or regulation from a Governmental Authority becoming effective after the date of
this Agreement for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR
Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof
(with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s
obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into,
LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and
maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 4.5 shall be
applicable).

 

4.4          Compensation.

 

The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Lender, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as
the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion shall be
sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense attributable
to:

 

(a)           any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a
LIBOR Loan, or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason
(including, without limitation, acceleration) 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 of the applicable conditions precedent specified
in Section 5.2 to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan from such Lender on the
date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or
Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.

 

Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include, without
limitation, in the case of a LIBOR Loan, an amount equal to the then present
value of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such LIBOR Loan
for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such LIBOR
Loan, less (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same LIBOR Loan
for the same period if LIBOR were set on the date on which such LIBOR Loan was
repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow,
Convert or Continue, as applicable, such LIBOR Loan calculating present value by
using as a discount rate LIBOR quoted on such date. Upon the Borrower’s request,
the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting
forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining
the amount thereof.  Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.

 

4.5          Treatment of Affected Loans.

 

If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to
Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to
Section 4.1(c), Section 4.2 or Section 4.3 then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall
be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then
current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion
required by Section 4.1(c), Section 4.2, or Section 4.3 on such earlier date as
such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, may specify to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, as applicable)) and, unless
and until such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice
as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1, Section 4.2
or Section 4.3 that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

 

(a)           to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so
Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be
applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate
Loans; and

 

55

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

 

(b)           all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender
as LIBOR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all
Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR
Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

 

If such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, as applicable) that the
circumstances specified in Sections 4.1(c), 4.2 or 4.3 that gave rise to the
Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist
(which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, agrees to do
promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans
made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall
be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest
Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that,
after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans
and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and
Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

 

4.6          Affected Lenders.

 

If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.10 or 4.1, and the
Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, (b) the obligation of any Lender
to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR
Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1(b) or 4.3 but the obligation of
the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections, or
(c) a Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then, so long as there does not
then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower may demand that such
Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall
promptly, assign its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in
accordance with the provisions of Section 12.5(b) for a purchase price equal to
(x) the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then owing to the Affected
Lender, plus (y) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the
Affected Lender under Section 2.3(j) that have not been repaid, plus (z) any
accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the
Affected Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such
Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee. Each of the Administrative Agent and the
Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of
such Affected Lender under this Section and the Affected Lender shall promptly
execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such
interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate
Assignment and Assumption, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such
Affected Lender nor any other Lender nor any Lead Arranger be obligated in any
way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an
Eligible Assignee.  If such Affected Lender does not execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other
documentation necessary to reflect such replacement within a period of time
deemed reasonable by the Administrative Agent after the later of (i) the date on
which an Eligible Assignee executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance
and/or such other documentation and (ii) the date on which the Affected Lender
receives all payments described in this Section 4.6, then such Affected Lender
shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance
and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be
entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and
Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Affected Lender. 
The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the
Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative
Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders.  The terms of this
Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to any
Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this
Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 3.10, 4.1 or 4.4)
with respect to any period up to the date of replacement.

 

4.7          Change of Lending Office.

 

Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its
internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an alternate
Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or
circumstances described in Sections 3.10, 4.1 or 4.3 to reduce the liability of
the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such
designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as

 

56

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

 

determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall
have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of
America.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any
such designation.

 

4.8          Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans.

 

Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article shall be made
as though such Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans through the purchase of
deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such
LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loans and having a
maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that
each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the
foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under
this Article.

true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date of the making of such
Loan or date of issuance of such Letter of Credit with the same force and effect

ARTICLE VI

 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

6.1          Representations and Warranties.

 

In order to induce each of the Agents and each Lender to enter into this
Agreement and to make Loans and, in the case of an Issuing Bank, to issue
Letters of Credit, the Borrower represents and warrants to each of the Agents,
each Issuing Bank and each Lender as follows:

 

(a)           Organization; Power; Qualification.  Each of the Borrower, the
other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries is a corporation, partnership or
other legal entity, duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good
standing under the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, has the power
and authority to own or lease its respective properties and to carry on its
respective business as now being and hereafter proposed to be conducted and is
duly qualified and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, partnership or
other legal entity, and authorized to do business, in each jurisdiction in which
the character of its properties or the nature of its business requires such
qualification or authorization and where the failure to be so qualified or
authorized could reasonably be expected to have, in each instance, a Material
Adverse Effect.

 

(b)           Ownership Structure.  Part I of Item 6.1(b) of the Borrower Letter
is, as of the Agreement Date, a complete and correct list of all Subsidiaries of
the Borrower setting forth for each such Subsidiary, (i) the jurisdiction of
organization of such Subsidiary, (ii) each Person holding any Equity Interest in
such Subsidiary, (iii) the nature of the Equity Interests held by each such
Person, (iv) the percentage of ownership of such Subsidiary represented by such
Equity Interests and (v) whether such Subsidiary is an Excluded

Subsidiary. As of the Agreement Date, except as disclosed in Part I of Item
6.1(b) of the Borrower Letter, (A) each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries

outstanding Equity Interests in each Person shown to be held by it in Part I of
Item 6.1(b) of the Borrower Letter, (B) all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of each such Person organized as a corporation is validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and (C) there are no outstanding subscriptions,
options, warrants, commitments, preemptive rights or agreements of any kind
(including, without limitation, any stockholders’ or voting trust agreements)
for the issuance, sale, registration or voting of, or outstanding securities
convertible into, any additional shares of capital stock of any class, or
partnership or other ownership interests of any type in, any such Person. As of
the Agreement Date, Part II of Item 6.1(b) of the Borrower Letter correctly sets
forth all Unconsolidated Affiliates of the Borrower, including the correct legal
name of such Person, the type of legal entity which each such Person is, and all
Equity Interests in such Person held directly or indirectly by the Borrower.

 

(c)           Authorization of Loan Documents and Borrowings.  The Borrower has
the right and power, and has taken all necessary action to authorize it, to
borrow and obtain other extensions of credit hereunder.  The Borrower and each
other Loan Party has the right and power, and has taken all necessary action to
authorize it, to execute, deliver and perform each of the Loan Documents to
which it is a party in accordance with their respective terms and to consummate
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.  The Loan Documents to which
the Borrower or any other Loan Party is a party have been duly executed and
delivered by the duly authorized officers of such Person and each is a legal,
valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in
accordance with its respective terms, except as the same may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors
generally and the availability of equitable remedies for the enforcement of
certain obligations (other than the payment of principal) contained herein or
therein and as may be limited by equitable principles generally.

 

(d)           Compliance of Loan Documents with Laws.  The execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents to which any Loan
Party is a party in accordance with their respective terms and the borrowings
and other extensions of credit hereunder do not and will not, by the passage of
time, the giving of notice, or both:  (i) require any Governmental Approval or
violate any Applicable Law (including all Environmental Laws) relating to the
Borrower or any other Loan Party; (ii) result in a breach of or constitute a
default under the organizational documents of any Loan Party, or any indenture,

party or by which it or any of its respective properties may be bound; or
(iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with
respect to any property now owned or hereafter acquired by any Loan Party other
than in favor of the Collateral Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the
Lenders and the Issuing Banks.

 

(e)           Compliance with Law; Governmental Approvals.  Each of the
Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries is in compliance
with each Governmental Approval and all other Applicable Laws relating to it

Loan Party and each other Subsidiary has good, marketable and legal title to, or
a valid leasehold interest in, its respective assets.  As of the Agreement Date,

other Loan Party except for Permitted Liens.

 

(g)           Existing Indebtedness.  As of the Agreement Date, the Borrower,
the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries have performed and are in
compliance with all of the terms of their Indebtedness and all instruments and
agreements relating thereto, and no default or event of default, or event or
condition which with the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both, would
constitute a default or event of default, exists with respect to any such
Indebtedness.

 

61

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

 

(h)           Collateral Documents.  Prior to the Collateral Release Date,
(i) the provisions of the Collateral Documents are effective to create in favor
of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a legal, valid and
enforceable first priority and perfected Lien on all right, title and interest
of the Pledgors in the Collateral described therein and (ii) except for filings

Collateral Documents, no filing or other action will be necessary to perfect or
protect such Liens.

 

(i)            Litigation.  Except as set forth on Schedule 6.1(i), there are no
actions, suits or proceedings pending (nor, to the knowledge of any Loan Party,
are there any actions, suits or proceedings threatened, nor is there any basis
therefor) against or in any other way relating adversely to or affecting the
Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any of their respective
property in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any
other Governmental Authority which, (i) could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect or (ii) in any manner draws into question the validity
or enforceability of any Loan Documents. There are no strikes, slow downs, work
stoppages or walkouts or other labor disputes in progress or threatened relating

threatened.

 

(j)            Taxes.  All federal, state and other material tax returns of the
Borrower, each other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary required by Applicable
Law to be filed have been duly filed (after taking into account any extensions
of time within which to file such tax returns), and all federal, state and other
taxes, assessments and other governmental charges or levies upon, each Loan
Party, each other Subsidiary and their respective properties, income, profits
and assets which are due and payable have been paid, except any such nonpayment
or non-filing which is at the time permitted under Section 7.6.  As of the
Agreement Date, none of the United States income tax returns of the Borrower,
any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary is under audit.  All charges,
accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and
the other Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are

(k)           Financial Statements.  The Borrower has furnished to each Lender
copies of (i) the audited consolidated financial statements of 266 properties
that were wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by SIR for the years ended
December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2016, (ii) the unaudited condensed
consolidated balance sheet for the 266 properties that were wholly owned,
directly or indirectly, by SIR as of September 30, 2017, and the related
unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income,
shareholder’s equity and cash flows for the nine months ended on such date, and
(iii) the draft unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of the
Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as of September 30, 2017, and the
related draft unaudited condensed pro forma consolidated statement of income for
the nine months ended on such date, presented as if the Qualified Public
Offering had occurred on September 30, 2017.  The financial statements
referenced in clauses (i) and (ii) above (including in each case related
schedules and notes) are complete and correct in all material respects and
present fairly, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the
periods involved, the consolidated financial position of the 266 properties that
were wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by SIR as at their respective dates
and the results of operations and the cash flow for such periods (subject, as to
the unaudited statements, to changes resulting from normal year-end audit
adjustments). The financial statements referenced in clause (iii) above
(including in each case related schedules and notes) were prepared in good faith
based on reasonable assumptions and present in draft form, on a pro forma basis,
the condensed consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its
consolidated Subsidiaries as at their respective dates and the results of
operations for such periods (subject (x) as to draft pro forma statements, to
completion of such statements following the pricing of the proposed Qualified
Public Offering in connection with which such statements were prepared and
(y) as to interim statements, to changes resulting from normal year-end audit
adjustments).  Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has on the
Agreement Date any material contingent liabilities, liabilities, liabilities for
taxes, unusual or long-term commitments or unrealized or forward anticipated
losses from any unfavorable commitments that would be

 

62

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

 

required to be set forth in its financial statements or notes thereto, except as
referred to or reflected or provided for in said financial statements.

 

(l)            No Material Adverse Change.  Since September 30, 2017, there has
been no material adverse change in the consolidated financial condition, results
of operations, business, or prospects of the Borrower and its consolidated
Subsidiaries taken as a whole.  Each of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties,
and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, is Solvent.

 

(m)          REIT Status.  The Borrower is (i) at all times prior to the
completion by the Borrower of a Qualified Public Offering, an entity that is
disregarded for federal income tax purposes from an entity that qualifies for
taxation as a REIT and (ii) thereafter, qualified for taxation as a REIT, and in
compliance with all requirements and conditions imposed under the Internal
Revenue Code to maintain its qualification for taxation as a REIT.  SIR is at
all times prior to the completion by the Borrower of a Qualified Public Offering
qualified for taxation as a REIT, and in compliance with all requirements and
conditions imposed under the Internal Revenue Code to maintain its qualification
for taxation as a REIT.

 

(n)           ERISA.

 

(i)            Each Benefit Arrangement is in compliance with the applicable
provisions of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code and other Applicable Laws in all
material respects.  Except with respect to Multiemployer Plans, each Qualified
Plan (A) has received a favorable determination from the Internal Revenue
Service applicable to such Qualified Plan’s current remedial amendment cycle (as
defined in Revenue Procedure 2007-44 or “2007-44” for short), (B) has timely
filed for a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
during its staggered remedial amendment cycle (as defined in 2007-44) and such
application is currently being processed by the Internal Revenue Service,
(C) had filed for a determination letter prior to its “GUST remedial amendment
period” (as defined in 2007-44) and received such determination letter and the
staggered remedial amendment cycle first following the GUST remedial amendment
period for such Qualified Plan has not yet expired, or (D) is maintained under a
prototype plan and may rely upon a favorable opinion letter issued by the
Internal Revenue Service with respect to such prototype plan. To the best
knowledge of the Borrower, nothing has occurred which would cause the loss of
its reliance on each Qualified Plan’s favorable determination letter or opinion
letter.

 

(ii)           With respect to any Benefit Arrangement that is a retiree welfare
benefit arrangement, all amounts have been accrued on the applicable ERISA
Group’s financial statements in accordance with FASB ASC 715.  The “benefit
obligation” of all Plans does not exceed the “fair market value of plan assets”
for such Plans by more than $10,000,000 all as determined by and with such terms
defined in accordance with FASB ASC 715.

 

(iii)          Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in
the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect:  (i) no ERISA Event has
occurred or is expected to occur; (ii) there are no pending, or to the best
knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, claims, actions or lawsuits or other
action by any Governmental Authority, plan participant or beneficiary with
respect to a Benefit Arrangement; (iii) there are no violations of the fiduciary
responsibility rules with respect to any Benefit Arrangement; and (iv) no member
of the ERISA Group has engaged in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction,” as
defined in Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code,
in connection with any Plan, that would subject any member of the ERISA Group to
a tax on prohibited transactions imposed by Section 502(i) of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

(o)           Absence of Default.  None of the Loan Parties or any of the other
Subsidiaries is in default under its certificate or articles of incorporation or
formation, bylaws, partnership agreement or other similar organizational
documents, and no event has occurred, which has not been remedied, cured or
waived:  (i)

 

63

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

 

which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default; or (ii) which constitutes,
or which with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would
constitute, a default or event of default by, any Loan Party or any other
Subsidiary under any agreement (other than this Agreement) or judgment, decree
or order to which any such Person is a party or by which any such Person or any
of its respective properties may be bound where such default or event of default
could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

 

(p)           Environmental Laws.  In the ordinary course of business and from
time to time each of the Borrower, each other Loan Party and each other
Subsidiary conducts reviews of the effect of Environmental Laws on its
respective business, operations and properties, including without limitation,
its respective Properties.  Each of the Borrower, each other Loan Party and each
other Subsidiary:  (i) is in compliance with all Environmental Laws applicable
to its business, operations and the Properties, (ii) has obtained all
Governmental Approvals which are required under Environmental Laws, and each
such Governmental Approval is in full force and effect, and (iii) is in
compliance with all terms and conditions of such Governmental Approvals, where
with respect to each of the immediately preceding clauses (i) through (iii) the
failure to obtain or to comply with could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Except for any of the following matters that could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Loan Party has any
knowledge of, or has received notice of, any past, present, or pending releases,
events, conditions, circumstances, activities, practices, incidents, facts,
occurrences, actions, or plans that, with respect to any Loan Party or any other
Subsidiary, their respective businesses, operations or with respect to the
Properties, may:  (i) cause or contribute to an actual or alleged violation of
or noncompliance with Environmental Laws, (ii) cause or contribute to any other
potential common-law or legal claim or other liability, or (iii) cause any of
the Properties to become subject to any restrictions on ownership, occupancy,
use or transferability under any Environmental Law or require the filing or
recording of any notice, approval or disclosure document under any Environmental
Law and, with respect to the immediately preceding clauses (i) through (iii) is
based on or related to the on-site or off-site manufacture, generation,
processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport, removal,
clean up or handling, or the emission, discharge, release or threatened release
of any wastes or Hazardous Material, or any other requirement under
Environmental Law. There is no civil, criminal, or administrative action, suit,
demand, claim, hearing, notice, or demand letter, mandate, order, lien, request,
investigation, or proceeding pending or, to the Borrower’s knowledge after due
inquiry, threatened, against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other
Subsidiary relating in any way to Environmental Laws which reasonably could be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  None of the Properties is listed on
or proposed for listing on the National Priority List promulgated pursuant to
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980
and its implementing regulations, or any state or local priority list
promulgated pursuant to any analogous state or local law.  No Hazardous
Materials have been transported, released, discharged or disposed on any of the
Properties other than (x) in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws
or (y) as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(q)           Investment Company.  None of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or
any other
Subsidiary is (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an
“investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended, or (ii) subject to any other Applicable Law which purports to
regulate or restrict its ability to borrow money or obtain other extensions of
credit or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to
perform its obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party.

 

(r)            Margin Stock.  None of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any
other Subsidiary is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities,
in the business of extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate,
incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying Margin Stock.

 

(s)            Affiliate Transactions.  Except as permitted by Section 9.8 or as
otherwise set forth in Item 6.1(s) of the Borrower Letter, none of the Borrower,
any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary is a party to or bound by any
agreement or arrangement with any Affiliate.

 

64

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

 

(t)            Intellectual Property.  Each of the Loan Parties and each other
Subsidiary owns or has the right to use, under valid license agreements or
otherwise, all patents, licenses, franchises, trademarks, trademark rights,
service marks, service mark rights, trade names, trade name rights, trade
secrets and copyrights (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) necessary to the
conduct of its businesses, without known conflict with any patent, license,
franchise, trademark, trademark right, service mark, service mark right, trade
secret, trade name, copyright, or other proprietary right of any other Person
except for such Intellectual Property, the absence of which, and for conflicts
which, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each
of the Loan Parties and each other Subsidiary has taken all such steps as it
deems reasonably necessary to protect its respective rights under and with
respect to such Intellectual Property.  No material claim has been asserted by
any Person with respect to the use of any such Intellectual Property by the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, or challenging or
questioning the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property. 
The use of such Intellectual Property by the Borrower, the other Loan Parties
and the other Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person,
subject to such claims and infringements as do not, in the aggregate, give rise
to any liabilities on the part of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any
other Subsidiary that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

 

(u)           Business.  As of the Agreement Date, the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries are engaged substantially in the business of acquiring, owning,
operating and developing predominantly industrial and logistics Properties,
together with other business activities incidental thereto, as currently in use
at the Properties.

 

(v)           Broker’s Fees.  No broker’s or finder’s fee, commission or similar
compensation will be payable with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby.  No other similar fees or commissions will be payable by any Loan Party
for any other services rendered to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any
other Subsidiary ancillary to the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(w)          Accuracy and Completeness of Information.  All written information,
reports and other papers and data (other than financial projections and other
forward looking statements and information of a general economic or industry
specific nature) furnished to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by, on
behalf of, or at the direction of, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any
other Subsidiary were, at the time the same were so furnished, taken as a whole,
complete and correct in all material respects, to the extent necessary to give
the recipient a true and accurate knowledge of the subject matter, or, in the
case of financial statements, present fairly, in accordance with GAAP
consistently applied throughout the periods involved, the financial position of
the Persons involved as at the date thereof and the results of operations for
such periods (subject, as to interim statements, to changes resulting from
normal year-end audit adjustments and absence of full footnote disclosure). All
financial projections and other forward looking statements prepared by or on
behalf of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary that have
been or may hereafter be made available to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender were or will be prepared in good faith based on reasonable assumptions. 
No fact is known to any Loan Party which has had, or may in the future have (so
far as any Loan Party can reasonably foresee), a Material Adverse Effect which
has not been set forth in the financial statements referred to in
Section 6.1(k) or in such information, reports or other papers or data or
otherwise disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.  No
document furnished or written statement made to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender in connection with the negotiation, preparation or execution of, or
pursuant to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents contains or will
contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits or will omit to state
a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not
misleading.

 

(x)           Not Plan Assets; No Prohibited Transactions.  None of the assets
of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary constitutes “plan
assets” within the meaning of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code and the
respective regulations promulgated thereunder.  Assuming that no Lender funds
any amount payable by it hereunder with “plan assets,” as that term is defined
in 29 C.F.R. 2510.3 101, the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the extensions of

 

65

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

 

credit and repayment of amounts hereunder, do not and will not constitute
“prohibited transactions” under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code.

 

(y)           Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions; Anti-Terrorism Laws.  None of
the Borrower, any Subsidiary, any of their respective directors, or officers,
or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any of the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s
employees and agents (i) is an “enemy” or an “ally of the enemy” within the

Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Terrorism Laws and applicable Sanctions, and the
Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees
and agents are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Terrorism Laws and
applicable Sanctions in all material respects.  None of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary is, or derives any of its assets or operating income from investments
in or transactions with, a Sanctioned Person and none of the respective
directors, officers, or to the knowledge of the Borrower, employees or agents of
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a Sanctioned Person.

next business day for the recipient.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein,
the Borrower shall deliver paper copies of any documents to the Administrative
Agent or to any Lender that requests such paper copies until a written request
to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent or such
Lender.  Neither of the Agents shall have any obligation to request the delivery
of or to maintain paper copies of the documents delivered electronically, and in
any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by the Borrower
with any such request for delivery.  Each Lender shall be solely responsible for
requesting delivery to it of paper copies and maintaining its paper or
electronic documents.

 

(b)           Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Article II may be
delivered electronically to a website provided for such purpose by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures provided to the Borrower by the
Administrative Agent.

 

(c)           The Borrower agrees that, except as directed otherwise by the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent may make the material delivered by the
Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.5 (collectively, the “Communications”)
available to the Lenders by posting such notices on Intralinks or a
substantially similar electronic system (the “Platform”), subject to the
implementation of confidentiality agreements and procedures reasonably
acceptable to the Borrower.  The Borrower acknowledges that (i) the distribution
of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that
there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution,
(ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy
or completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly
disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or the
Platform.  No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including,
without limitation, 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 the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any of their
respective Affiliates in connection with the Platform.

 

8.6          Public/Private Information.

 

The Borrower shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent in connection with
the publication of certain materials and/or information provided by or on behalf
of the Borrower.  Documents required to be delivered pursuant to the Loan
Documents shall be delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders (collectively, “Information Materials”)
pursuant to this Article and the Borrower shall designate Information Materials
(a) that are either available to the public or not material with respect to the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities for purposes
of United States federal and state securities laws, as “Public Information” and
(b) that are not Public Information as “Private Information”.

 

8.7          Patriot Act Notice; Compliance.

 

The Patriot Act and federal regulations issued with respect thereto require all
financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that
identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such
financial institution.  Consequently, a Lender (for itself and/or as agent for
all Lenders hereunder) may from time-to-time request, and the Borrower shall,
and shall cause the other Loan Parties to, provide to such Lender, such Loan
Party’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other
identification information as shall be necessary for such Lender to comply with
federal law.  An “account” for this purpose may include, without limitation, a
deposit account, cash management service, a transaction or asset account, a
credit account, a loan or other extension of credit, and/or other financial
services product.

Qualified Public Offering, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be permitted
to make Restricted Payments without limitation; provided, however, that
following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the
Borrower may declare and make cash distributions to its shareholders only in an
aggregate amount not to exceed the minimum amount necessary for the Borrower to
remain in compliance with Section 7.11 and to avoid the imposition of income or

76

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

 

Event of Default specified in Section 10.1(a), Section 10.1(e) or

Borrower, such Loan Party or such Subsidiary may create, incur, assume, or
permit or suffer to exist without violation of this Agreement and (B) is secured
by a Lien permitted to exist under the Loan Documents, and (y) which prohibits
the creation of any other Lien on only the property securing such Indebtedness
as of the date such agreement was entered into; (ii) an agreement relating to
the sale of a Subsidiary or assets pending such sale, provided that in any such
case the Negative Pledge applies only to the Subsidiary or the assets that are
the subject of such sale, or (iii) a Negative Pledge contained in any agreement
that evidences unsecured Indebtedness which contains restrictions on encumbering
assets that are substantially similar to those restrictions contained in the
Loan Documents.

Subsidiary may create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist under this
Agreement and (B) containing encumbrances and restrictions imposed in connection
with such Unsecured Indebtedness that are either substantially similar to, or

or, (ii) with respect to clause (d), customary provisions restricting assignment
of any agreement entered into by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any

contrary in the foregoing, the restrictions in this Section shall not apply to
any provision of any Guaranty entered into by the Borrower, any other Loan Party
or any other Subsidiary relating to the Indebtedness of any Subsidiary permitted
to be incurred hereunder, which provision subordinates any rights of Borrower,

or other modification (a) could reasonably be expected to be adverse to the
interest of the Lenders in any material respect or (b) could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided that, any amendment to any
such Organizational Documents that would designate such Loan Party or any other
Subsidiary as a “single purpose entity” or otherwise confirm such Loan Party’s
status as a “single purpose entity” shall be deemed not to have a Material
Adverse Effect for purposes of this Section.  Following the Borrower’s
completion of a Qualified Public Offering, the Borrower shall not, and shall not
permit any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary to, amend, supplement,

Section shall impose any obligation or liability whatsoever on any Agent or any
Lender.

“Exchange Act”)), other than SIR or other companies managed by RMR is or becomes
the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange

exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time), directly or
indirectly, of more than 25.0% of the total voting power of the then outstanding
voting stock of the Borrower;

 

(iii)          During any period of 12 consecutive months ending after the
Agreement Date, individuals who at the beginning of any such 12-month period

trustees then

then in office; or

 

(iv)          RMR shall cease for any reason to act as the sole business manager
and property manager for the Borrower.

 

(m)          Collateral Documents.  Prior to the Collateral Release Date, any
Collateral Document after delivery thereof pursuant to Sections 4.1, 7.13 or
7.14 shall for any reason (other than pursuant to the terms thereof) cease to
create a valid and perfected first priority Lien on the Collateral purported to
be covered thereby.

 

(n)           Defaults under SPE Requirements.  Any Subsidiary that directly
owns an Unencumbered Asset shall breach in any material respect the SPE

Notes at the time outstanding, (B) an amount equal to the Stated Amount of all
Letters of Credit outstanding as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of

the other Obligations, including, but not limited to, the other amounts owed to
the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Notes or any

(b)           Loan Documents.  The Requisite Lenders may direct the Agents to,

(c)           Applicable Law.  The Requisite Lenders may direct the Agents to,

83

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

 

(d)           Appointment of Receiver.  To the extent permitted by Applicable
Law, the Agents and the Lenders shall be entitled to the appointment of a
receiver for the assets and properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries,
without notice of any kind whatsoever and without regard to the adequacy of any
security for the Obligations or the solvency of any party bound for its payment,
to take possession of all or any portion of the property and/or the business
operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and to exercise such power as
the court shall confer upon such receiver.

 

(e)           Specified Derivatives Contract Remedies.  Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement or other Loan Document, each Specified

remedies available to such Specified Derivatives Provider under contract or
Applicable Law, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the applicable
Specified Derivatives Contract, to undertake any of the following:  (a) to
declare an event of default, termination event or other similar event under any

Letters of Credit shall immediately and automatically terminate.

 

10.4        Marshaling; Payments Set Aside.

 

None of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Specified
Derivatives Provider shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in
favor of any Loan Party or any other party or against or in payment of any or
all of the Obligations or the Specified Derivatives Obligations.  To the extent
that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent, any
Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Specified Derivatives Provider, or the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Specified Derivatives
Provider enforce their security interests or exercise their rights of setoff,
and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or
any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or
any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or
equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or
Specified Derivatives Obligations, or part thereof originally intended to be
satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and
continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

10.5        Allocation of Proceeds.

 

If an Event of Default exists, all payments received by the Administrative Agent
(or any Lender as a result of its exercise of remedies permitted under
Section 12.3) under any of the Loan Documents in respect of any Obligations
shall be applied in the following order and priority:

 

(a)           to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,
indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees, payable to the
Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, each Issuing Bank in its capacity
as such and each Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, ratably among the

 

84

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

 

Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and Swingline Lenders in proportion to
the respective amounts described in this clause (a) payable to them;

 

(b)           to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,
indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the
Lenders under the Loan Documents, including attorney fees, ratably among the
Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause
(b) payable to them;

 

(c)           to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued
and unpaid interest on the Swingline Loans;

 

(d)           to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued
and unpaid interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, ratably among
the Lenders and the Issuing Banks in proportion to the respective amounts
described in this clause (d) payable to them;

 

(e)           to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid
principal of the Swingline Loans;

 

(f)            to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid
principal of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and other Letter of Credit
Liabilities and to Specified Derivatives Obligations, ratably among the Lenders,
the Issuing Banks and the Specified Derivatives Providers in proportion to the
respective amounts in this clause (f) payable to them; provided, however, to the
extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to this clause are
attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of an outstanding Letter of
Credit, such amounts shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for deposit into
the Letter of Credit Collateral Account; and

 

(g)           the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by
Applicable Law.

 

10.6        Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

 

(a)           As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of
all Letter of Credit Liabilities and the other Obligations, the Borrower hereby
pledges and grants to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the
Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders as provided herein, a security
interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Letter of Credit
Collateral Account and the balances from time to time in the Letter of Credit
Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided
for below). The balances from time to time in the Letter of Credit Collateral
Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter of Credit Liabilities until
applied by an Issuing Bank as provided herein.  Anything in this Agreement to
the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral
Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided in this Section.

 

(b)           Amounts on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account
shall be invested and reinvested by the Collateral Agent in such Cash
Equivalents as the Collateral Agent shall determine in its sole discretion.  All
such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under the
sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the
Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders; provided, that all earnings on such
investments will be credited to and retained in the Letter of Credit Collateral
Account.  The Collateral Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and
shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment
substantially equivalent to that which the Collateral Agent accords other funds
deposited with the Collateral Agent, it being understood that the Collateral
Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to
preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Letter
of Credit Collateral Account.

 

85

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

 

(c)           If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior
to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower and the Lenders
authorize the Collateral Agent to use the monies deposited in the Letter of
Credit Collateral Account to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the
payment made by such Issuing Bank to the beneficiary with respect to such
drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment.

 

(d)           If an Event of Default exists, the Agents may (and, if instructed
by the Requisite Lenders, shall) in its (or their) discretion at any time and
from time to time elect to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and
apply the proceeds thereof to the Obligations in accordance with Section 10.5. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agents shall not be required to liquidate and
release any such amounts if such liquidation or release would result in the
amount available in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account being less than the
Stated Amount of all Extended Letters of Credit that remain outstanding.

 

(e)           So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the
extent amounts on deposit in or credited to the Letter of Credit Collateral
Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then due
and owing, the Collateral Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the
Borrower, deliver to the Borrower within 5 Business Days after the Collateral
Agent’s receipt of such request from the Borrower, against receipt but without
any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such amount of the credit
balances in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account as exceeds the aggregate
amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities at such time. Upon the expiration,
termination or cancellation of an Extended Letter of Credit for which the
Lenders reimbursed (or funded participations in) a drawing deemed to have
occurred under the fourth sentence of Section 2.3(b) for deposit into the Letter
of Credit Collateral Account but in respect of which the Lenders have not
otherwise received payment for the amount so reimbursed or funded, the
Collateral Agent shall promptly remit to the Lenders the amount so reimbursed or
funded for such Extended Letter of Credit that remains in the Letter of Credit
Collateral Account, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid
reimbursements or funded participations of the Lenders in respect of such
Extended Letter of Credit, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or
representation whatsoever. When all of the Obligations shall have been
indefeasibly paid in full and no Letters of Credit remain outstanding, the
Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, against receipt but without any
recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the balances remaining in the
Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

 

(f)            The Borrower shall pay to the Collateral Agent from time to time
such fees as the Collateral Agent normally charges for similar services in
connection with the Collateral Agent’s administration of the Letter of Credit
Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein.

 

10.7        Performance by Administrative Agent.

 

If the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall fail to perform any covenant, duty
or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent
may, after notice to the Borrower, perform or attempt to perform such covenant,
duty or agreement on behalf of the Borrower or such other Loan Party after the
expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein.  In such event, the
Borrower shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly pay any
amount reasonably expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or
attempted performance to the Administrative Agent, together with interest
thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure
until paid.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor
any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the
performance of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document.

 

10.8        Rights Cumulative.

 

(a)           Generally.  The rights and remedies of the Agents, the Issuing
Banks, the Lenders and the Specified Derivatives Providers under this Agreement,
each of the other Loan Documents and Specified Derivatives Contracts shall be
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may
otherwise have under Applicable Law.  In exercising their respective rights and
remedies the Agents, the

 

86

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

 

Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the Specified Derivatives Providers may be
selective and no failure or delay by either of the Agents, any of the Issuing
Banks, any of the Lenders or any of the Specified Derivatives Providers in
exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or
the exercise of any other power or right.

 

(b)           Enforcement by Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to
enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against
the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions
and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted
and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with
Article XI for the benefit of all the Lenders and all the Issuing Banks;
provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Administrative Agent from
exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit
(solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, (ii) any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender from exercising
the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as an
Issuing Bank or a Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents, (iii) any Specified Derivatives Provider from exercising
the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit under any Specified
Derivatives Contract, (iv) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in
accordance with Section 12.3 (subject to the terms of Section 3.3), or (v) any
Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own
behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any
Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person
acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
then (x) the Requisite Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Article XI and (y) in addition to the matters
set forth in clauses (ii), (iv) and (v) of the preceding proviso and subject to
Section 3.3, any Lender may, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, enforce
any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Requisite
Lenders.

 

ARTICLE XI

 

THE AGENTS

 

11.1        Appointment and Authorization; Appointment of Supplemental
Collateral Agents.

 

(a)           Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agents
to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to
exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are
specifically delegated to the Agents by the terms hereof and thereof, together
with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Not in limitation of the
foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the applicable Agent to enter into
the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders.  Each Lender hereby agrees
that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite
Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan
Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth
herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.  Nothing
herein shall be construed to deem any Agent as a trustee or fiduciary for any
Lender or to impose on any Agent duties or obligations other than those
expressly provided for herein.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”, “Administrative Agent”, “Collateral
Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any
fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency
doctrine of any Applicable Law.  Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter
of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
relationship between independent contracting parties.  The Administrative Agent
shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender, promptly upon receipt
thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements,
certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Article VIII that the Borrower is not otherwise required to deliver
directly to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender,
upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of
any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the
Administrative Agent by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other
Affiliate of the Borrower, pursuant

 

87

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

 

to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered or otherwise
made available to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any
such other Loan Document.  As to any matters not expressly provided for by the
Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any
of the Obligations), the Agents shall not be required to exercise any discretion
or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and
shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the
instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly
required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions
shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations;
provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, the no Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes
any Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or Applicable Law.  Not in limitation of the foregoing, each
Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan
Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the
Requisite Lenders have directed such Agent otherwise.  Without limiting the
foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent
as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the
Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.

 

(b)           Anything contained herein or in the Collateral Documents to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent may from time to time, when the
Collateral Agent deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more trustees,
co-trustees, collateral co-agents or collateral subagents (each, a “Supplemental
Collateral Agent”) with respect to all or any part of the Collateral.  In the
event that the Collateral Agent so appoints any Supplemental Collateral Agent
with respect to any Collateral, (i) such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall
automatically be vested, in addition to the Collateral Agent, with all rights,
powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent under the
Collateral Documents with respect to such Collateral; (ii) such Supplemental
Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be an “Agent” for purposes of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of the Pledge Agreement, this
Article and Section 12.2 hereof that refer to the Agents (or either of them)
shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, and all
references therein and in the other Loan Documents to the Collateral Agent shall
be deemed to be references to the Collateral Agent and/or such Supplemental
Collateral Agent, as the context may require; and (iii) the term “Collateral
Agent”, when used herein or in any applicable Collateral Document in relation to
the Liens on or security interests in such Collateral granted in favor of the
Collateral Agent, and any rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of
the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral, shall be deemed to include
such Supplemental Collateral Agent; provided, however, that no such Supplemental
Collateral Agent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any such
Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by
the Collateral Agent.  Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any
other Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Collateral Agent so appointed
by the Collateral Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirming to
such Supplemental Collateral Agent such rights, powers, privileges and duties,
the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and
deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Collateral
Agent.  If any Supplemental Collateral Agent, or successor thereto, shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, to the extent
permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Collateral
Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Collateral Agent.

 

11.2        Citibank or any Successor Agents as Lender.

 

Any Lender acting as an Agent shall have the same rights and powers as a Lender
or a Specified Derivatives Provider, as the case may be, under this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any Specified Derivatives Contract, as the case may
be, as any other Lender or Specified Derivatives Provider and may exercise the
same as though it were not such Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall,
unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Citibank in each case in its
individual capacity. Citibank and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from,
maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as
trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage
in any kind of business with the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other
Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any

 

88

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

 

duty to account therefor to the Issuing Banks, the other Lenders, or any
Specified Derivatives Providers.  Further, the Agents and any Affiliate may
accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection
with this Agreement or any Specified Derivatives Contract, or otherwise without
having to account for the same to the Issuing Banks, the other Lenders or any
Specified Derivatives Providers.  The Issuing Banks and the Lenders acknowledge
that, pursuant to such activities, Citibank or its Affiliates may receive
information regarding the Borrower, other Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries and
other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality
obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Agents shall be
under no obligation to provide such information to them.

 

11.3        Approvals of Lenders.

 

All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such
Lender’s determination, consent or approval (a) shall be given in the form of a
written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the
matter or issue as to which such determination, consent or approval is
requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such
matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or
issue to be resolved and (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such
Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written
materials provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in respect of the
matter or issue to be resolved. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the
Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the requested
determination, consent or approval (together with a written explanation of the
reasons behind such objection) within 10 Business Days (or such lesser or
greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the
Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to
have conclusively approved such requested determination, consent or approval.
The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any amendment, waiver or
consent regarding any of the matters described in Section 12.6(b).

 

11.4        Notice of Events of Default.

 

Neither of the Agents shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless such Agent has received
notice from another Agent, a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement,
describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and
stating that such notice is a “notice of default”; provided, the failure to
provide such a “notice of default” to an Agent shall not result in any liability
of such Lender to any other party to this Agreement. If any Lender (excluding
the Lender which is also serving as such Agent) becomes aware of any Default or
Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Agents such a “notice of
default”.  Further, if either of the Agents receives such a “notice of default,”
such Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

 

11.5        Agents’ Reliance.

 

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents, neither of the Agents nor any of their respective Related Parties
shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection
with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own
gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly
set forth herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
in a final non-appealable judgment.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Agents may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel
or counsel for the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public
accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the
advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.  Neither of the Agents nor any
of their respective Related Parties:  (a) makes any warranty or representation
to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person, or shall be responsible to
any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person for any statement, warranty or
representation made or deemed made by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any
other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or
observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this
Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the

 

89

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

 

Borrower or other Persons (other than, in the case of the satisfaction of any
conditions precedent, confirmation of receipt of items expressly required to be
delivered to the Administrative Agent), or to inspect the property, books or
records of the Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any
Lender or any Issuing Bank for the due execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or
any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in
favor of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and
the Specified Derivatives Providers in any such collateral; (d) shall have any
liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications,
representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any
other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in
connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent,
certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy
or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by
the proper party or parties. Each of the Agents may execute any of its duties
under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact
and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or
attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct in the selection of such agent or attorney-in-fact as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

 

11.6        Indemnification of Agents.

 

Each Lender agrees to indemnify each of the Agents (to the extent not reimbursed
by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so)
pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Commitment Percentage
(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity
payment is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agents (each in its capacity as
an Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan
Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or
omitted by an Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable
Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of
such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from an Agent’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided, however, that no
action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or all
of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute
gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the
each Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting
the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its Commitment
Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense
or indemnity payment is sought) of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the
reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent)
incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation,
execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal
proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or
responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action
brought by the Agents (or either of them) to enforce the terms of the Loan
Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim
brought against the Agents (or either of them) and/or the Lenders, and any claim
or suit brought against the Agents (or either of them) and/or the Lenders
arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including
counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the applicable
Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that such Agent is not entitled to
indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by such Agent that such
Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction that such Agent is not so entitled to
indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the
Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents
and the termination of this Agreement.  If the Borrower shall reimburse an Agent
for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to such Agent in
respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, such Agent shall
share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such
payment.

11.7        Lender Credit Decision, Etc.

 

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks expressly acknowledges and agrees that
neither of the Agents nor any of their respective Related Parties has made any
representations or warranties to such Issuing Bank or such Lender and that no
act by the Agents hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, shall be
deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by such Agent to the
Issuing Banks or any Lender. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks
acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to
enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any other Lender or counsel
to any Agent, or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on the
financial statements of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other
Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its
independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the other
Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan
Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the
advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks also acknowledges
that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any other
Lender or counsel to any Agent or any of their respective Related Parties, and
based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not
taking action under the Loan Documents.  No Agent shall be required to keep
itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other
Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided
for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other
investigation of, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary. 
Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly
required to be furnished to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or
furnished to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders and/or the
Issuing Banks, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any
Lender or any Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning the
business, operations, property, financial and other condition or
creditworthiness of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate
thereof which may come into possession of such Agent or any of its Related
Parties. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks acknowledges that the
Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative
Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Lender or any Issuing Bank.

 

11.8        Successor Agents.

 

Either of the Agents may (a) resign at any time as an Agent under the Loan
Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower or
(b) be removed as an Agent under the Loan Documents by all Lenders (other than
the Lender then acting as such Agent) and the Borrower upon 30 days’ prior
written notice if such Agent is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final, non-appealable judgment to have committed gross negligence or willful
misconduct in the course of performing its duties hereunder. Upon any such
resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a
successor Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default
exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events,
be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates as a successor
Agent).  If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with
the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment,
within 30 days after the current Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or
giving of notice of removal of the current Agent, then the current Agent may, on
behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Agent, which
shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall
be an Eligible Assignee; provided that if the Agent shall notify the Borrower
and the Lenders that no Lender has accepted such appointment, then such
resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice
and (1) the Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and
determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be
made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly, until such time as a
successor Agent has been appointed as provided for above in this Section;

 

91

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

 

provided, further that such Lenders and such Issuing Bank so acting directly
shall be and be deemed to be protected by all indemnities and other provisions
herein for the benefit and protection of the Agent as if each such Lender or
such Issuing Bank were itself an Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment
as an Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the current Agent, and the current Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations under the Loan Documents.  Any resignation by, or removal of,
the Administrative Agent shall also constitute the resignation or removal as
Collateral Agent, an Issuing Bank and as a Swingline Lender by the Lender then
acting as the Administrative Agent (the “Resigning Lender”).  Upon the
acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder
(i) the Resigning Lender shall be discharged from all duties and obligations of
an Agent, Issuing Bank and a Swingline Lender hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents and (ii) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in
substitution for all Letters of Credit issued by the Resigning Lender as an
Issuing Bank outstanding at the time of such succession (which letters of credit
issued in substitutions shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued
hereunder) or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Resigning Lender to
effectively assume the obligations of the Resigning Lender with respect to such
Letters of Credit. After any Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the
provisions of this Article XI shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under the Loan
Documents.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, an Agent
may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its
Affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.

 

11.9        Titled Agents.

 

Each of the Lead Arrangers (each, a “Titled Agent”), in such capacity, assumes
no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for
servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an
agent hereunder for the Lenders.  The titles given to the Titled Agents are
solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled
Agents to any Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank, the Borrower or any other
Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any
duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the
Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is
entitled.

 

11.10      Certain ERISA Matters.

 

(a)           Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such

respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the
benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that:

 

(i)            none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the

documents related to hereto or thereto),

(i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the

of counsel to the Administrative Agent and all costs and expenses of the Agents

amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in
respect of, any Loan Document and (d) to the extent not already covered by any

commencement of such proceeding or the confirmation or conclusion of any such
proceeding. If the Borrower shall fail to pay any amounts required to be paid by
it pursuant to this Section, any Agent and/or the Lenders may pay such amounts
on behalf of the Borrower and such amounts shall be deemed to be Obligations
owing hereunder.

 

96

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

 

12.3        Setoff.

 

Subject to Section 3.3 and in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted
under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the
Borrower hereby authorizes each Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Lender, each
Affiliate any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, and each Participant, at
any time or from time to time while an Event of Default exists, without notice
to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly
waived, but in the case of an Issuing Bank, a Lender, an Affiliate of an Issuing
Bank or a Lender, or a Participant, subject to receipt of the prior written
consent of the Requisite Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, to set off
and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special,
including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of
deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time
held or owing by such Agent, such Issuing Bank, such Lender, any Affiliate of
such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, or such Participant, to or for the
credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of any of the
Obligations, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and all
other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and
payable as permitted by Section 10.2, and although such Obligations shall be
contingent or unmatured. Promptly following any such set-off the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower thereof and of the application of such set-off,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not invalidate such
set-off.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if any
Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so
set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further
application in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.9 and, pending such
payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and
deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the
Lenders and (y) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the
Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations
owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

 

12.4        Litigation; Jurisdiction; Other Matters; Waivers.

 

(a)           EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY
BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, ANY AGENT, ANY OF THE ISSUING BANKS OR ANY OF THE
LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD
RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES.  ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, EACH OF THE AGENTS, EACH OF
THE ISSUING BANKS AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH
AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF
ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, ANY AGENT, ANY
ISSUING BANK OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE
LOAN DOCUMENTS.

 

(b)           THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL
NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION,
WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST
ANY AGENT, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUING BANK, OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF THE FOREGOING
IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, AND OF THE UNITED STATES
DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT
FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT
OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH
NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN
SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF

 

97

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

 

THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION
OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY
SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.  NOTHING IN THIS
AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ANY AGENT,
ANY LENDER OR ANY ISSUING BANK MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE
BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION (INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS UNDER ANY LOAN
DOCUMENT OR AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT).  EACH
PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE
VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR
CLAIM THE SAME.  THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE
DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY ANY AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR
ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY ANY AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER OF
ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

 

(c)           THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY
WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL
CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER
AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE TERMINATION OR
EXPIRATION OF ALL LETTERS OF CREDIT AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

12.5        Successors and Assigns.

 

(a)           Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the
Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations

hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants

or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the 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 an
assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it, or
contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the
amount specified in the immediately following clause (B) in the aggregate, or in
the case of an assignment to a

 

98

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

 

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

 

(B)          in any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection
(A), the aggregate amount a Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect,
the principal outstanding balance of the applicable Loans of the assigning
Lender subject to each such assignment (in each case, 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 of a Commitment or a Loan, unless each of the Administrative
Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, the Borrower
otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed); provided, however, that if after giving effect to such assignment, the
amount of the Commitments held by such assigning Lender or, if the applicable
Commitment is not then in effect, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans
of such assigning Lender, as applicable, would be less than $5,000,000 in the
case of a Commitment or Loan, then such assigning Lender shall assign the entire
amount of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it.

 

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

 

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

 

(A)          the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event of Default
shall exist at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a
Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower
shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object
thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days
after having received notice thereof; and

 

(B)          the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect
of a Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not already a Lender
with a Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect
to such Lender; and

 

(C)          the consent of each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any
assignment in respect of a Commitment.

 

(iv)          Assignment and Assumption; Notes.  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 for each
assignment, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.  If requested by the
transferor Lender or the assignee, upon the consummation of any assignment, the
transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make
appropriate arrangements so that new Notes are issued to the assignee and such
transferor Lender, as appropriate.

 

(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, or
(B) to any Defaulting Lender or any

 

99

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

 

of its Subsidiaries, or to any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder,
would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

 

(vi)          No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be
made to a natural person.

 

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

 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to the immediately following subsection (c), from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a
party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under
this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10, 4.1, 4.4, 12.2 and 12.9 and the
other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in
Section 12.10 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the
effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise
expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender
will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising
from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by
a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with
this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with the
immediately following subsection (d).

 

(c)           Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this
purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the
Principal 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 (and stated interest) of the Loans owing
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
“Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest
error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a
Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(d)           Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent
of, or notice to, the Borrower, any Swingline Lender, any Issuing Bank, any
other Lender or any Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a
natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or
Subsidiaries or a

 

100

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

 

Defaulting Lender) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s
rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of
any of its Commitments and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents, the Issuing
Banks and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to (w) increase such Lender’s Commitment, (x) extend the date fixed for the
payment of principal on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender,
(y) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (z) release any
Guarantor from its Obligations under the Guaranty except as contemplated by
Section 7.13, in each case, as applicable to that portion of such Lender’s
rights and/or obligations that are subject to the participation. The Borrower
agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10,
4.1, 4.4 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the
requirements under Section 3.10(g) (it being understood that the documentation
required under Section 3.10(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender))
to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided that such
Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 as if it
were an assignee under subsection (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be
entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.1 or 3.10, with respect
to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to
receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment
results from a Regulatory Change that occurs after the Participant acquired the
applicable participation.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the
Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the
Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.6 with respect to any
Participant.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 12.3 as though it were a Lender; provided
that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3 as though it were a
Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this
purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which
it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts
(and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other
obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that
no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the
Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any
information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans,
letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any
Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that
such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered
form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The
entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error,
and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this
Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of
doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall
have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

 

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

 

(f)            No Registration.  Each Lender agrees that, without the prior
written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, it will not make
any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would
require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or
Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States
of America or of any other jurisdiction.

 

101

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

 

(g)           Patriot Act Notice; Compliance.  In order for the Administrative
Agent to comply with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and
regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act, prior to any Lender
or any Issuing Bank that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside
of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, the Administrative
Agent may request, and such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall provide to the
Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such
other identification information as shall be necessary for the Administrative
Agent to comply with federal law.

 

12.6        Amendments and Waivers.

 

(a)           Generally.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, (i) any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement
or any other Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be given, (ii) any
term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may be amended, (iii) the
performance or observance by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other
Subsidiary of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document may be
waived, and (iv) the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be
waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or

(or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders),
and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of
each Loan Party which is party thereto.

 

(b)           Additional Lender Consents.  In addition to the foregoing
requirements, no amendment, waiver, forbearance, or consent shall do any of the
following:

any increase as a result of an assignment of Commitments permitted under
Section 12.5 and any increases contemplated under Section 2.15) or subject a
Lender to any additional obligations without the written consent of such Lender;

 

(ii)           reduce the principal of, or interest that has accrued or the
rates of interest that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of,
any Loans or other Obligations without the written consent of each Lender
directly affected thereby; provided, however, only the written consent of the
Requisite Lenders shall be required for the waiver of interest payable at the
Post-Default Rate, retraction of the imposition of interest at the Post-Default
Rate and amendment of the definition of “Post-Default Rate”;

 

(iii)          reduce the amount of any Fees payable to a Lender without the
written consent of such Lender;

 

(iv)          modify the definitions of “Termination Date” or clause (a) of the

Section 2.13) or otherwise postpone any date fixed for, or forgive, any payment
of principal of, or interest on, any Loans or for the payment of Fees or any
other Obligations owing to the Lenders, or extend the expiration date of any
Letter of Credit beyond the Termination Date (except in accordance with
Section 2.3(b)) or, with respect to any Extended Letter of Credit, further
extend the expiration date of such Extended Letter of Credit or modify any
provision of Sections 2.3(b) or 2.14 regarding Cash Collateral for such Extended
Letters of Credit or release any Cash Collateral provided pursuant to Sections
2.3(b) or 2.14 except in accordance with Section 10.6, in each case, without the
written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

 

(v)           [intentionally omitted];

 

(vi)          [intentionally omitted];

 

102

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

 

(vii)         modify the definition of “Commitment Percentage” or amend or
otherwise modify the provisions of Sections 3.2 or 10.5 without the written
consent of each Lender;

 

(viii)        [intentionally omitted];

 

(ix)          amend this Section 12.6 or amend any of the other definitions of
the terms used in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents insofar as such
definitions affect the substance of this Section 12.6 without the written
consent of each Lender;

 

(x)           modify the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” or (except
as otherwise provided in the immediately following clause (xi)), modify in any
other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any
determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof
without the written consent of each Lender;

 

(xi)          release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any

the written consent of each Lender; or

 

(xiv)        amend, or waive the Borrower’s compliance with, Section 2.15
without the written consent of each Lender.

 

(c)           Amendment of Administrative Agent’s Duties, Etc.  No amendment,
waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent or
the Collateral Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take
such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or
the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents.  Any amendment, waiver or consent relating to Section 2.4
or the obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such
action, require the written consent of such Swingline Lenders.  Any amendment,
waiver or consent relating to Section 2.3 or the obligations of an Issuing Bank
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, in addition to the
Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the written consent of
such Issuing Bank.  Any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any Loan
Document that (i) diminishes the rights of a Specified Derivatives Provider in a
manner or to an extent dissimilar to that affecting the Lenders or
(ii) increases the liabilities or obligations of a Specified Derivatives
Provider shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such
action, require the consent of the Lender that is (or having an Affiliate that
is) such Specified Derivatives Provider.  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 Commitments of any Defaulting
Lender may not be increased, reinstated or extended without the written consent
of such Defaulting 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 written consent of such Defaulting Lender.  No waiver shall extend
to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent
thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein.  No course of
dealing or delay or omission on the part of any Agent or any Lender in
exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be
prejudicial thereto.  Any Event of Default occurring hereunder

 

103

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

 

shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in
writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any
attempted cure or other action by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any
other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default.  Except as
otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no
notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

 

(d)           Technical Amendments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Section 12.6, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have jointly
identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this
Agreement or an inconsistency between provisions of this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision
or provisions to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency
so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interests of the Lenders and
the Issuing Banks. Any such amendment shall become effective without any further
action or consent of any of other party to this Agreement.

 

12.7        Nonliability of Agents and Lenders.

 

The relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders, the
Issuing Banks and the Agents, on the other hand, shall be solely that of
borrower and lender.  None of the Agents, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall
have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower and no provision in this
Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing
between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any
fiduciary duty owing by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to any Lender,
the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party.  None of the Agents, any
Issuing Bank or any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to
review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the
Borrower’s business or operations.

 

12.8        Confidentiality.

 

Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, each Agent, each Issuing Bank
and each Lender shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as
defined below) in accordance with its customary procedure for handling
confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound
banking practices but in any event may make disclosure:  (a) to its Affiliates
and to its and its Affiliates’ other respective Related Parties (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of
the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such
Information confidential); (b) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any actual or proposed
assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with a potential
transfer of any Commitment or participation therein as permitted hereunder, or
(ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or
derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations; (c) as
required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or
pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings, or as
otherwise required by Applicable Law; (d) to such Agent’s, such Issuing Bank’s
or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided
they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (e) in
connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document (or any
Specified Derivatives Contract) or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan
Document (or any such Specified Derivatives Contract) or the enforcement of
rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) to the extent such Information (i) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section actually
known by such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender to be a breach of this
Section or (ii) becomes available to such Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or
any Affiliate of any Agent, any Issuing Bank, or any Lender on a nonconfidential
basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower;
(g) to the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any nationally
recognized rating agency or regulatory or similar authority (including any
self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners) having or purporting to have jurisdiction over it; (h) to bank
trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other
information customarily found in such publications; (i) to any other party
hereto; and (j) with the consent of the Borrower.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, each Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender may disclose any such
confidential information,

 

104

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

 

without notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, to Governmental
Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of such Agent, such
Issuing Bank or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory compliance
policy of such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender.  In addition, the Agents
and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information
about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the
lending industry and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in
connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents
and the Commitments.  As used in this Section, the term “Information” means all
information received from the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other
Subsidiary or Affiliate relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective
businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Agent, any
Lender or any Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the
Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate, provided
that, in the case of any such information received from the Borrower, any other
Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate 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.

 

12.9        Indemnification.

 

(a)           The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent (and any sub-agent
thereof), each Issuing Bank, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the
foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnified Party”)
against, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, and shall pay or
reimburse any such Indemnified Party for, any and all losses, claims (including
without limitation, Environmental Claims), damages, liabilities and related
expenses (including without limitation, the fees, charges and disbursements of
any counsel for any Indemnified Party (which counsel may be employees of any
Indemnified Party)), incurred by any Indemnified Party or asserted against any
Indemnified Party by any Person (including the Borrower, any other Loan Party or
any other Subsidiary) other than such Indemnified Party and its Related Parties,
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or
delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto
or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan
or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom
(including any refusal by an Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a
Letter of Credit issued by it if the documents presented in connection with such
demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit),
(iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or
from any property owned or operated by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any
other Subsidiary, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to the Borrower,
any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, (iv) any actual or prospective
claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third
party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, and
regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto, or (v) any claim
(including without limitation, any Environmental Claims), investigation,
litigation or other proceeding (whether or not any Agent, any Issuing Bank or
any Lender is a party thereto) and the prosecution and defense thereof, arising
out of or in any way connected with the Loans, this Agreement, any other Loan
Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation,
reasonable attorneys and consultant’s fees; provided, however, that such
indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnified Party.

 

(b)           If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under
this Section are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to
make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such
obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.

 

105

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

 

(c)           The Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive any
termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment in
full in cash of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution
of, any of the other obligations set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document to which it is a party.

 

References in this Section 12.9 to “Lender” or “Lenders” shall be deemed to
include such Persons (and their Affiliates) in their capacity as Specified
Derivatives Providers.

 

12.10      Termination; Survival.

 

This Agreement shall terminate at such time as (a) all of the Commitments have
been terminated, (b) all Letters of Credit have terminated or expired or been
cancelled (other than Extended Letters of Credit in respect of which the
Borrower has satisfied the requirements to provide Cash Collateral as required
in Section 2.3(b)), (c) none of the Lenders is obligated any longer under this
Agreement to make any Loans and no Issuing Bank is any longer obligated under
this Agreement to issue Letters of Credit and (d) all Obligations (other than
obligations which survive as provided in the following sentence) have been paid
and satisfied in full. The indemnities to which the Agents, the Issuing Banks
and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of Sections 3.10, 4.1, 4.4,
11.6, 12.2 and 12.9 and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and the provisions of Sections 12.4 and 12.13, shall continue in full
force and effect and shall protect the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders
(i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan
Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before and
(ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement
with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date such
party ceased to be a party to this Agreement.

 

12.11      Severability of Provisions.

SCHEDULE II

 

GUARANTOR REQUIREMENTS — UCC ARTICLE 8 OPT-IN PROVISIONS

 

1.1          Company Interests.  The Member’s Company Interest shall be
represented by a Company Interest Certificate issued to the Member by the
Company.  The Company Interest Certificate represents the Member’s entire
Company Interest.  The Member agrees that its Company Interest and its Company
Interest Certificate shall for all purposes be personal property.  The Member
has no interest in specific Company property.

 

1.2          Company Interest Certificate.

 

(a)           On or about the date hereof, the Company shall issue a Company
Interest Certificate in the name of the Member to represent the Member’s Company
Interest.  The Company Interest Certificate shall be denominated in terms of the
percentage of the limited liability company interests in the Company and shall
be signed on behalf of the Company.  Each Company Interest Certificate shall
bear the following legend:  “This Certificate evidences an interest in
                                                    and shall be a security for
purposes of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of
                              and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other
Jurisdiction.”  This provision shall not be amended, and no such purported
amendment to this provision shall be effective until all outstanding Company
Interest Certificates have been surrendered for cancellation.

 

(b)           The Company shall issue a new Company Interest Certificate in
place of the Company Interest Certificate previously issued to the Member, if
the Member:

 

(i)            makes proof by affidavit, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Company, that such previously issued Company Interest Certificate has been
lost, stolen or destroyed;

 

(ii)           requests the issuance of a new Company Interest Certificate
before the Company has notice that such previously issued Company Interest
Certificate has been acquired by a purchaser for value in good faith and without
notice of an adverse claim;

 

(iii)          if requested by Company, delivers to the Company a bond, in form
and substance satisfactory to the Company, with such surety or sureties as the
Company may direct, to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made
on account of the alleged loss, destruction or theft of the previously issued
Company Interest Certificate; and

 

(iv)          satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the
Company.

 

(c)           Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Credit Agreement,
upon the Member’s Transfer of any or all of the Company Interest represented by
a Company Interest Certificate, the Transferee of such Company Interest shall
deliver such Company Interest Certificate to the Company for cancellation, and
the Company shall thereupon issue a new Company Interest Certificate to such
Transferee evidencing the percentage of the Company Interest being Transferred
and, if applicable, cause to be issued to the Member a new Company Interest
Certificate for that percentage of the Company Interest that was represented by
the canceled Company Interest Certificate and that is not being Transferred.

 

II-1

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

 

1.3          Free Transferability.  Except as limited by the Credit Agreement,
to the fullest extent permitted by the Act, the Member may, at any time or from
time to time, without the consent of any other Person, Transfer, pledge or
encumber any or all the Company Interest.  Subject to the restrictions of the
Credit Agreement, the Transferee of any Company Interest shall be admitted to
the Company as a substitute member of the Company on the effective date of such
Transfer upon (i) such Transferee’s written acceptance of the terms and
provisions of this Agreement and its written assumption of the obligations
hereunder of the Transferor of such Company Interest, which shall be evidenced
by such Transferee’s execution and delivery to the Company of an application for
Transfer of Company Interest on the reverse side of the Company Interest
Certificate representing the Company Interest being transferred, and (ii) the
recording of such Transferee’s name as a substitute member on the books and
records of the Company.  Any Transfer of any or all of the Company Interest
pursuant to this Section [    ] shall be effective as of the later of (a) the
close of business on the day on which such Transfer occurs, or (b) the effective
date and time of such Transfer that is designated in the application for
Transfer of Company Interests delivered by the Transferee to the Company.

 

II-2

and the exercise of their rights herein, shall do all things reasonably
necessary to cause the Company to comply with each of the covenants contained in

shall not affect the status of the Company as a separate legal entity or the
limited liability of the Member or any Director or officer of the Company.

and the Issuing Banks (the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swingline

collectively, the “Guarantied Parties”).

their collective efforts;

 

WHEREAS, each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect
benefits from the Guarantied Parties making such financial accommodations; and

any other instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any
Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

 

(b)                                 any lack of validity or enforceability of
the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any other document,

(c)                                  any furnishing to any of the Guarantied

party with respect to any of the Guarantied Obligations, or any subordination of
the payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations to the payment of any other
liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party;

 

(e)                                  any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,

court, in any such proceeding;

 

(f)                                   any act or failure to act by any Loan
Party or any other Person which may adversely affect such Guarantor’s
subrogation rights, if any, against any other Loan Party or any other Person to
recover payments made under this Guaranty;

 

(g)                                  any nonperfection or impairment of any

(i)                                     any defect, limitation or insufficiency
in the borrowing powers of the Borrower or in the exercise thereof;

 

(j)                                    any defense, set off, claim or

(m)                             any other circumstance which might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a Guarantor hereunder
(other than indefeasible payment and performance in full).

 

Section 4.  Action with Respect to Guarantied Obligations.  The Guaranteed
Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or
notice to, any Guarantor, and without discharging any Guarantor from its
obligations hereunder, take any and all actions described in Section 3 and may
otherwise:  (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the
Guarantied Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening
the time of payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations or changing the
interest rate that may accrue on any of the Guarantied Obligations; (b) amend,
modify, alter or supplement the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(c) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with all, or any part, of any
collateral securing any of the Guarantied Obligations; (d) release any Loan
Party or other Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of any
of the Guarantied Obligations;

 

B-3

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

 

(e) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against any Loan Party or
any other Person; and (f) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized,
to the Guarantied Obligations in such order as the Guarantied Parties shall
elect.

 

Section 5.  Representations and Warranties.  Each Guarantor hereby makes to the
Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties all of the representations
and warranties made by the Borrower with respect to or in any way relating to
such Guarantor in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if the
same were set forth herein in full.

 

Section 6.  Covenants.  Each Guarantor will comply with all covenants with which
the Borrower is to cause such Guarantor to comply under the terms of the Credit
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

Section 7.  Waiver.  Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment,
demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission
or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent
might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to
discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

 

Section 8.  Inability to Accelerate.  If the Guarantied Parties or any of them
are prevented under Applicable Law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating
payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or
otherwise, the Administrative Agent and/or the other Guarantied Parties shall be
entitled to receive from each Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which
otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.

 

Section 9.  Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations.  If claim is ever made on
the Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied Party for repayment or recovery
of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the
Guarantied Obligations, and the Administrative Agent or such other Guarantied
Party repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or
order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any
settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Administrative Agent
or such other Guarantied Party with any such claimant (including the Borrower or
a trustee in bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor
agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be
binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any
of the Loan Documents and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the
Administrative Agent or such other Guarantied Party for the amounts so repaid or
recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to
the Administrative Agent or such other Guarantied Party.

 

Section 10.  Subrogation.  Upon the making by any Guarantor of any payment
hereunder for the account of another Loan Party, such Guarantor shall be
subrogated to the rights of the payee against such Loan Party; provided,
however, that such Guarantor shall not enforce any right or receive any payment
by way of subrogation or otherwise take any action in respect of any other claim
or cause of action such Guarantor may have against such Loan Party arising by
reason of any payment or performance by such Guarantor pursuant to this
Guaranty, unless and until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid and performed in full. If any

 

B-4

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

 

amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of or in respect of such
subrogation rights or other claims or causes of action, such Guarantor shall
hold such amount in trust for the benefit of the Guarantied Parties and shall
forthwith pay such amount to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied
against the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance
with the terms of the Credit Agreement or to be held by the Administrative Agent
as collateral security for any Guarantied Obligations existing.

 

Section 11.  Payments Free and Clear.  All sums payable by each Guarantor
hereunder, whether of principal, interest, fees, expenses, premiums or
otherwise, shall be paid in full, without set-off or counterclaim or any
deduction or withholding whatsoever (including any Taxes), and if such Guarantor
is required by Applicable Law or by any Governmental Authority to make any such
deduction or withholding such Guarantor shall pay to the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders of the full amount payable hereunder had
such deduction or withholding not occurred or been required.

 

Section 12.  Set-off.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under
any of the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law and not by way of limitation
of any such rights, each Guarantor hereby authorizes each Guarantied Party, each
Affiliate of a Guarantied Party, and each Participant, at any time while an
Event of Default exists, without any prior notice to such Guarantor or to any
other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of
a Guarantied Party (other than the Administrative Agent), an Affiliate of a
Guarantied Party (other than the Administrative Agent), or a Participant,
subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders
exercised in their sole discretion, to set-off and to appropriate and to apply
any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to,
indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured)
and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by a Guarantied Party, an
Affiliate of a Guarantied Party or such Participant to or for the credit or the
account of such Guarantor against and on account of any of the Guarantied
Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.  Each
Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, that any
Participant may exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and other rights with
respect to its participation as fully as if such Participant were a direct
creditor of such Guarantor in the amount of such participation.

 

Section 13.  Subordination.  Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and
agrees for the benefit of the Guarantied Parties that all obligations and
liabilities of any other Loan Party to such Guarantor of whatever description,
including without limitation, all intercompany receivables of such Guarantor
from any other Loan Party (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be
subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Guarantied Obligations.  If an
Event of Default shall exist, no Guarantor shall accept any direct or indirect
payment (in cash, property or securities, by setoff or otherwise) from or any
other Loan Party on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim
until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.

 

Section 14.  Avoidance Provisions.  It is the intent of each Guarantor and the
Guarantied Parties that in any Proceeding, such Guarantor’s maximum obligation
hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not
otherwise cause the obligations of such

 

B-5

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

 

Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the
Guarantied Parties) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor in
such Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without limitation,
(a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or
fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by
virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Applicable Laws
under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of
such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the
Guarantied Parties) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to
as the “Avoidance Provisions”.  Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations
of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the
Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guarantied Obligations for which such
Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of
the time any of the Guarantied Obligations are deemed to have been incurred
under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor
hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Guarantied
Parties), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This
Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent
and the other Guarantied Parties hereunder to the maximum extent that would not
cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance
under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor or any other Person shall have
any right or claim under this Section as against the Guarantied Parties that
would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

 

Section 15.  Information.  Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being
and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Loan Parties, and
of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the
Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such
Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither of the
Administrative Agent nor any other Guarantied Party shall have any duty
whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances
or risks.

 

Section 16.  Governing Law.  THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO
CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

 

Section 17.  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

 

EACH GUARANTOR, AND EACH OF THE GUARANTIED PARTIES BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS
HEREOF, ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG SUCH
GUARANTOR AND ANY OF THE GUARANTIED PARTIES WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND
COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE
PARTIES.  ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE
GUARANTORS, AND THE GUARANTIED PARTIES BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF, HEREBY
WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR
NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR
AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY.

 

B-6

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

 

EACH GUARANTOR 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 OTHER GUARANTIED PARTY, OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF THE
FOREGOING IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, AND OF THE UNITED STATES
DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT
FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT
OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH
NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT 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 GUARANTY OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL
AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OTHER GUARANTIED PARTY
MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY
OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST ANY GUARANTOR OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS
OF ANY JURISDICTION.  EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR
HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT
OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, AND EACH
AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME.  THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS
SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY ANY
GUARANTIED PARTY OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY ANY GUARANTIED PARTY OF ANY JUDGMENT
OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

 

THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE
ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES
THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS
PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE TERMINATION,
CANCELLATION OR EXPIRATION OF ALL LETTERS OF CREDIT AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS
GUARANTY.

 

Section 18.  Loan Accounts.  The Administrative Agent and each other Guarantied
Party may maintain books and accounts setting forth the amounts of principal,
interest and other sums paid and payable with respect to the Guarantied
Obligations arising under or in connection with the Loan Documents, and in the
case of any dispute relating to any of the outstanding amount, payment or
receipt of any of such Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, the entries in such
books and accounts shall be binding on the Guarantors absent manifest error. The
failure of the

 

B-7

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

 

Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied Party to maintain such books and
accounts shall not in any way relieve or discharge any Guarantor of any of its
obligations hereunder.

 

Section 19.  Waiver of Remedies.  No delay or failure on the part of the
Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied Party in the exercise of any right
or remedy it may have against any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate
as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Administrative
Agent or any other Guarantied Party of any such right or remedy shall preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or
remedy.

 

Section 20.  Termination.  This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect
with respect to each Guarantor until indefeasible payment in full of the
Guarantied Obligations and the termination or cancellation of all Loan Documents
in accordance with their respective terms.

 

Section 21.  Successors and Assigns.  Each reference herein to the
Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied Party shall be deemed to include
such Person’s respective successors and assigns (including, but not limited to,
any holder of the Guarantied Obligations) in whose favor the provisions of this
Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to each Guarantor shall be
deemed to include such Guarantor’s successors and assigns, upon whom this
Guaranty also shall be binding.  The Guarantied Parties may, in accordance with
the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents, assign, transfer or sell any
Guarantied Obligation, or grant or sell participations in any Guarantied
Obligations, to any Person without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor
and without releasing, discharging or modifying any Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder.  Each Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the Administrative
Agent and any other Guarantied Party to any Assignee or Participant (or any
prospective Assignee or Participant) of any financial or other information
regarding the Borrower or any Guarantor.  No Guarantor may assign or transfer
its obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written consent of all
Lenders and any such assignment or other transfer to which all of the Lenders
have not so consented shall be null and void.

 

Section 22.  JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS.  THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE GUARANTORS
HEREUNDER SHALL BE JOINT AND SEVERAL, AND ACCORDINGLY, EACH GUARANTOR CONFIRMS
THAT IT IS LIABLE FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE “GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS” AND ALL OF
THE OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF EACH OF THE OTHER GUARANTORS HEREUNDER.

 

Section 23.  Amendments.  This Guaranty may not be amended except in writing
signed by the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor, subject to Section 12.6
of the Credit Agreement.

delivery shall be deemed receipt of such communication.

invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.

 

Section 27.  Headings.  Section headings used in this Guaranty are for

ALL PERSONS DEALING WITH SUCH GUARANTOR, IN ANY WAY, SHALL LOOK ONLY TO THE

fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all
debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated,
unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such
Guarantor hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair

Parties other than the maker of such Excess Payment; provided, however, that,
for purposes of calculating the Contribution Shares of the Guarantors in respect
of any Excess Payment, any Guarantor that became a Guarantor subsequent to the

date of such Excess Payment and the financial information for such Guarantor as
of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor shall be utilized for such
Guarantor in connection with such Excess Payment.

 

“Excess Payment” means the amount paid by any Guarantor in excess of its Ratable
Share of any Guarantied Obligations.

winding-up or composition for adjustment of debts, whether now or hereafter in
effect, is commenced relating to any Guarantor; (iv) any Guarantor is

approving any such case or proceeding is entered by a court of competent
jurisdiction; (vi) any Guarantor makes a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors; (vii) any Guarantor shall fail to pay, or shall state that it is
unable to pay, or shall be

 

B-10

unable to pay, its debts generally as they become due; (viii) any Guarantor
shall call a meeting of its creditors with a view to arranging a composition or
adjustment of its debts; (ix) any Guarantor shall by any act or failure to act
indicate its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any of the foregoing; or
(x) any corporate action shall be taken by any Guarantor for the purpose of
effecting any of the foregoing.

 

“Ratable Share” means, for any Guarantor in respect of any payment of Guarantied
Obligations, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such
payment of Guarantied Obligations of (i) the amount by which the aggregate
present fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the
amount of all debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent,
subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the
obligations of such Guarantor hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the
aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and other properties of all
of the Loan Parties exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities
(including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities,
but excluding the obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder) of the Loan
Parties; provided, however, that, for purposes of calculating the Ratable Shares
of the Guarantors in respect of any payment of Guarantied Obligations, any
Guarantor that became a Guarantor subsequent to the date of any such payment
shall be deemed to have been a Guarantor on the date of such payment and the
financial information for such Guarantor as of the date such Guarantor became a
Guarantor shall be utilized for such Guarantor in connection with such payment.

 

(b)           As used herein, “Guarantors” shall mean, as the context requires,
collectively, (a) each Subsidiary identified as a “Guarantor” on the signature
pages hereto, (b) each Person that joins this Guaranty as a Guarantor pursuant

entity shall be deemed an agent of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank,
Swingline Lender or any Lender; (ii) any loss, liability or delay caused by
fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of
government, labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal

authorized by Borrower.  Administrative Agent may rely solely (i) on the account

(ii) on the bank routing number of the Receiving Bank, rather than the Receiving
Bank’s name, in executing a Disbursement Request.  Administrative Agent is not
obligated or required in any way to take any actions to detect errors in
information provided by Borrower or an Authorized Representative.  If
Administrative Agent takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the
transmission or content of transfers or requests or takes any actions in an
attempt to detect unauthorized Disbursement Requests, Borrower agrees that, no
matter how many times Administrative Agent takes these actions, Administrative
Agent will not in any situation be liable for failing to take or correctly
perform these actions in the future, and such actions shall not become any part
of the Disbursement procedures authorized herein, in the Loan Documents, or in
any agreement between Administrative Agent and Borrower.

 

International Disbursements.  A Disbursement Request expressed in US Dollars
will be sent in US Dollars, even if the Receiving Party or Receiving Bank is
located outside the United States.  Administrative Agent will not execute
Disbursement Requests expressed in foreign currency unless permitted by the
Credit Agreement.

 

Errors.  Borrower agrees to notify Administrative Agent of any errors in the
Disbursement of any funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized
Disbursement Requests within fourteen (14) days after Administrative Agent’s
confirmation to Borrower of such Disbursement.

not be subject to stop payment or recall; provided that Administrative Agent
may, at Borrower’s request, make an effort to effect a stop payment or recall
but will incur no liability whatsoever for its failure or inability to do so.

PLEDGE AGREEMENT

 

THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT dated December 29, 2017 (this “Agreement”) among
INDUSTRIAL LOGISTICS PROPERTIES TRUST, a Maryland real estate investment trust
(the “Borrower”), SELECT INCOME REIT, a Maryland real estate investment trust
(“SIR”), and the ADDITIONAL PLEDGORS (as defined in Section 16) (each such
Additional Pledgor, together with Borrower and SIR referred to herein as a
“Pledgor”, and collectively, the “Pledgors”), and CITIBANK, N.A., as collateral
agent (in such capacity, together with any successor collateral agent appointed
pursuant to Article XI of the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined), the
“Collateral Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as hereinafter defined).

 

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

 

(1)                                 The Pledgors (other than SIR) and certain
other Loan Parties have entered into a Credit Agreement dated as of the date
hereof (such Agreement, as it may hereafter be amended, amended and restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”)
with the Lenders, the Agents, the Specified Derivatives Providers (as defined in
the Credit Agreement) and the Issuing Banks (each as defined therein, and
collectively, the “Secured Parties”).

 

(2)                                 Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the
Pledgors are entering into this Agreement in order to grant to the Collateral
Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties a security interest in the
Collateral (as hereinafter defined).

 

(3)                                 Each Pledgor identified on Schedule I hereto
is the owner as of the date hereof of the Equity Interests in the respective
Borrower or Guarantor (collectively, the “Initial Pledged Equity”) set forth
opposite such Pledgor’s name on and as otherwise described in Schedule II and
issued by the respective Persons named therein.

 

(4)                                 It is a condition precedent to the making of
the Loans by the Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement that the Pledgors
shall have executed and delivered this Agreement to the Administrative Agent.

 

(5)                                 Each Pledgor will derive substantial direct
and indirect benefit from the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.

 

(6)                                 Capitalized terms used but not otherwise
defined in this Agreement shall have their respective meanings set forth in the
Credit Agreement.  Further, unless otherwise defined in this Agreement or in the
Credit Agreement, terms defined in Article 8 or 9 of the UCC (as defined below)
are used in this Agreement as such terms are defined in such Article 8 or 9. 
“UCC” means the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect, from time to time, in the
State of New York; provided, however, that, if perfection or the effect of
perfection or non-perfection or the priority of any security interest in any
Collateral is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in a
jurisdiction other than the State of New York, “UCC” means the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in such other jurisdiction for
purposes of the provisions hereof relating to such perfection, effect of
perfection or non-perfection or priority.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, in order to induce the Secured
Parties to make Advances and issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement
from time to time, and for good and valuable other consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which is

 

L-4

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

 

hereby conclusively acknowledged, each Pledgor hereby agrees with the Collateral
Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties as follows:

 

Section 1                                              Grant of Security.

 

Section 1.1                                    Collateral.  Each Pledgor hereby
grants to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties,
a security interest in such Pledgor’s right, title and interest in and to the
following, in each case, as to each type of property described below, whether
now owned or hereafter acquired by such Pledgor, wherever located, and whether
now or hereafter existing or arising (collectively, the “Collateral”):

 

(a)                                 the following (the “Security Collateral”): 
(A) the Initial Pledged Equity, (B) the Equity Interests in any Guarantor from
time to time hereafter acquired or created (collectively, the “Additional
Pledged Equity” and together with the Initial Pledged Equity, the “Pledged
Equity”), (C) the certificates (if any) representing the Initial Pledged Equity
and the Additional Pledged Equity, and (D) all dividends, distributions, return
of capital, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received,
receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all
of the Initial Pledged Equity and the Additional Pledged Equity, and all
subscription warrants, rights or options issued thereon or with respect thereto;

 

(b)                                 all books and records (including, without
limitation, customer lists, credit files, printouts and other computer output
materials and records) of such Pledgor pertaining to any of the Collateral; and

 

(c)                                  all proceeds of, collateral for, income,
royalties and other payments now or hereafter due and payable with respect to,
and supporting obligations relating to, any and all of the Collateral
(including, without limitation, proceeds, collateral and supporting obligations
that constitute property of the types described in clauses (a) and (b) of this
Section 1 and this clause (c)) and, to the extent not otherwise included, all
payments under insurance (whether or not the Collateral Agent is the loss payee
thereof), or any indemnity, warranty or guaranty, payable by reason of loss or
damage to or otherwise with respect to any of the foregoing Collateral.

 

Section 1.2                                    Scope of Grant.  Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Collateral include or the
security interest granted under Section 1.1 attach to any agreement, permit,
consent, order or franchise covering real or personal property of any Pledgor,
and any of its rights or interest thereunder, if and to the extent that the
grant of a security interest or lien is prohibited by or in violation of (y) any
law, rule, regulation or order, or (z) a term, provision or condition of any
such agreement, permit, consent, order or franchise in each case (unless such
law, rule, regulation, term, provision or condition would be rendered
ineffective with respect to the creation of the security interest hereunder
pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the UCC (or any successor
provision or provisions) of any relevant jurisdiction or any other applicable
law (including any Bankruptcy Law) or principles of equity) and such provision
or condition has not been waived or the consent of the other party to such
agreement, permit, consent, order or franchise has not been obtained; provided,
however, that the Collateral shall include (and such security interest shall
attach) immediately at such time as the contractual or legal prohibition shall
no longer be applicable and to the extent severable, shall attach immediately to
any portion of such agreement, permit, consent, order or franchise not subject
to the prohibitions specified in (y) or (z) above; provided further that the
exclusions referred to in

 

L-5

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

 

this paragraph shall not include any proceeds of any such agreement, permit,
consent, order or franchise.

 

Section 2                                              Security for
Obligations.  This Agreement secures the payment of all Obligations of such
Pledgor now or hereafter existing, whether direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, and whether for principal, reimbursement obligations, interest,
fees, premiums, penalties, indemnifications, contract causes of action, costs,
expenses or otherwise (all such Obligations being the “Secured Obligations”). 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures, as to
each Pledgor, the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Secured
Obligations and would be owed by such Pledgor to any Secured Party under the
Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due
to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving
a Loan Party.

 

Section 3                                              Pledgors Remain Liable. 
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) each Pledgor shall remain
liable under the contracts and agreements included in such Pledgor’s Collateral
to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations
thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed,
(b) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of the rights hereunder shall
not release any Pledgor from any of its duties or obligations under the
contracts and agreements included in the Collateral and (c) no Secured Party
shall have any obligation or liability under the contracts and agreements
included in the Collateral solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the
obligations or duties of any Pledgor thereunder or to take any action to collect
or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

 

Section 4                                              Delivery and Control of
Security Collateral.

 

Section 4.1                                    On the date hereof, all
then-existing certificates or instruments representing or evidencing the
Security Collateral shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the
Collateral Agent pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for transfer by
delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or
assignment in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent.  Thereafter, all other
certificates or instruments representing or evidencing the Security Collateral
shall, no later than ten (10) Business Days after certificates or instruments
representing or evidencing the Security Collateral are acquired (or such date
that is no more than thirty (30) days later as may be agreed by the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, in their discretion), be
delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto
and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied
by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent.  In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default and the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 13 hereof, the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time
to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing the Security
Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.
The Borrower shall, and each Pledgor shall cause each other issuer of Pledged
Equity to, maintain its Organizational Documents in accordance with the Pledge
Requirement in effect on the date of this Agreement.

 

Section 4.2                                    [Reserved]

 

L-6

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

 

Section 4.3                                    With respect to any Security
Collateral, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Pledgor will
notify each such issuer of Pledged Equity that such Pledged Equity is subject to
the security interest granted hereunder.

 

Section 4.4                                    Upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default and the exercise of remedies pursuant to
Section 14 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, at any time in
its discretion and upon notice to any Pledgor, to transfer to or to register in
the name of the Administrative Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the
Security Collateral, subject only to the revocable rights specified in
Section 9.1.

 

Section 5                                              Representations and
Warranties.  Each Pledgor represents and warrants as follows:

 

Section 5.1                                    Such Pledgor’s exact legal name
is correctly set forth in Schedule I hereto.  Except as otherwise notified by
the Pledgors pursuant to Section 7, such Pledgor is located (within the meaning
of Section 9-307 of the UCC) and has its chief executive office, in the state or
jurisdiction set forth in Schedule I hereto.  Except as otherwise notified by
the Pledgors pursuant to Section 7, the information set forth in Schedule I
hereto with respect to such Pledgor is true and accurate in all respects.  Such
Pledgor has not previously changed its name, location, chief executive office,
type of organization, jurisdiction of organization or organizational
identification number from those set forth in Schedule I hereto except as
disclosed on Schedule I hereto.

 

Section 5.2                                    Such Pledgor is the legal and
beneficial owner of the Collateral of such Pledgor free and clear of any Lien,
claim, option or right of others, except for Permitted Liens.  As of the date
hereof, no effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect
covering all or any part of such Collateral or listing Pledgor or any trade name
of Pledgor as debtor is on file in any recording office, except (i) such as may
have been filed in favor of the Collateral Agent relating to the Loan Documents
and (ii) to the extent that such financing statement or other instrument similar
in effect does not relate to such Pledgor’s interest in the Collateral.

 

Section 5.3                                    The Pledged Interests pledged by
such Pledgor hereunder have been duly authorized and, if relating to a
corporation, validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.  If such
Pledgor is an issuer of Pledged Interests, such Pledgor confirms, by virtue of
its execution of this Agreement, that it has received notice of such security
interest.

 

Section 5.4                                    The Initial Pledged Equity
pledged by such Pledgor constitutes the percentage of the issued and outstanding
Capital Stock of the issuers thereof indicated on Schedule II hereto.

 

Section 5.5                                    Certificated securities
representing all the Initial Pledged Equity have been delivered to the
Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 4.1.  None of the Pledged Equity is
credited to a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of
the UCC).  The Initial Pledged Equity pledged by such Pledgor constitutes the
percentage of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the issuers thereof
indicated on Schedule I hereto, which is all of the issued and outstanding
Equity Interests in the respective Borrower or Guarantor issuer of such
interests.

 

Section 5.6                                    All filings and other actions
(including, without limitation, (A) actions necessary to obtain control of
Collateral as provided in Sections 9-104, 9-105, 9-106 and 9-

 

L-7

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

 

107 of the UCC and Section 16 of UETA and (B) actions necessary to perfect the
Collateral Agent’s security interest with respect to Collateral evidenced by a
certificate of ownership) necessary to perfect the security interest in the
Collateral of such Pledgor created under this Agreement have been duly made or
taken and are in full force and effect, or, upon filing by Administrative Agent
or Collateral Agent of UCC-1 financing statements and similar perfection
documents shall be in full force and effect and this Agreement creates in favor
of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a valid and,
together with such filings, perfected first priority security interest in all
Collateral of such Pledgor that may be perfected by the filing of UCC-1
financing statements, securing the payment of the Secured Obligations.

 

Section 5.7                                    No authorization or approval or
other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or
regulatory body or any other third party is required for (i) the grant by such
Pledgor of the security interest granted hereunder or for the execution,
delivery or performance of this Agreement by such Pledgor, (ii) the perfection
or maintenance of the security interest created hereunder (including the first
priority nature of such security interest), or (iii) the exercise by the
Collateral Agent of its rights provided for in this Agreement or the remedies in
respect of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement, except for the filing of
financing and continuation statements under the UCC, filings with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission, such actions as may be required by
applicable laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally, and
consents, authorizations, filings or other actions which have been obtained or
made.

 

Section 6                                              Further Assurances.

 

Section 6.1                                    Each Pledgor agrees that from
time to time, at its own expense, such Pledgor will execute and deliver, or
otherwise authenticate, all further instruments and documents, and take all
further action that may be necessary or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request, in order to perfect and protect any pledge or security interest granted
or purported to be granted by such Pledgor hereunder or to enable the Collateral
Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to
any Collateral of such Pledgor.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Pledgor will, upon the reasonable request of the Administrative
Agent, promptly, with respect to the Collateral of such Pledgor, deliver to the
Collateral Agent evidence that all other action that the Collateral Agent may
reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to perfect and protect, and
continue the protection and perfection of, the security interest created by
Pledgor under this Agreement in a manner consistent with the requirements of
this Agreement have been taken.

 

Section 6.2                                    Each Pledgor hereby authorizes
the Collateral Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements,
and amendments thereto; provided, however, that such filings shall in any event
include a description of collateral no more expansive than the descriptions in
Section 1 of this Agreement (including the defined terms from the Credit
Agreement incorporated therein by reference).  A photocopy or other reproduction
of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part
thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. 
Each Pledgor ratifies its authorization for the Collateral Agent to have filed
such financing statements, continuation statements or amendments filed prior to
the date hereof.

 

Section 6.3                                    Each Pledgor will furnish to the
Collateral Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying
and describing the Security Collateral of such

 

L-8

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

 

Pledgor and such other reports in connection with such Security Collateral as
the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

 

Section 7                                              Changes.

 

Section 7.1                                    No Pledgor will change its name,
type of organization, jurisdiction of organization, organizational
identification number or location from those set forth in Section 5.1 of this
Agreement without first giving at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice
to the Collateral Agent and taking all action required by the Collateral Agent
for the purpose of perfecting or protecting the security interest granted by
this Agreement.  Except as not otherwise prohibited by the Credit Agreement, no
Pledgor will become bound by a pledge agreement authenticated by another Person
(determined as provided in Section 9-203(d) of the UCC) that purports to create
a security interest in any part of the Collateral without giving the Collateral
Agent thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof and taking all action
required by the Collateral Agent to ensure that the perfection and first
priority nature of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral
will be maintained.  Each Pledgor will hold and preserve its records relating to
the Collateral, and will, upon reasonable notice, permit representatives of the
Collateral Agent at any time during normal business hours to inspect and make
abstracts from such records and other documents.  If the Pledgor does not have
an organizational identification number and later obtains one, it will forthwith
notify the Collateral Agent of such organizational identification number.

 

Section 7.2                                    If any Pledgor shall, as a result
of its ownership of the Pledged Equity, become entitled to receive or shall
receive any stock certificate or limited partnership or regular membership
certificate, as applicable (including, without limitation, any certificate
representing a dividend or a distribution in connection with any
reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any certificate issued in
connection with any reorganization), option or rights, whether in addition to,
in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for any shares of the
Pledged Equity, or otherwise in respect thereof, such Pledgor shall receive the
same in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, hold the same in trust
for the Collateral Agent and, no later than ten (10) Business Days following
receipt thereof deliver the same to the Collateral Agent in the exact form
received, duly endorsed by such Pledgor to the Collateral Agent, if required,
together with an updated stock, regular membership or limited partnership
interest power covering such certificate duly executed in blank, to be held by
the Collateral Agent hereunder as additional security for the Secured
Obligations.  Such Pledgor shall also deliver to the Administrative Agent
together with such certificates and powers an updated Schedule II to this
Agreement.

 

Section 8                                              UCC Article 8.  The
Pledged Equity (i) will continue to be “securities” within the meaning of
Sections 8-102(a)(15) and 8-103 of the UCC and (ii) will continue to be
“financial assets” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC).  The
Pledged Equity will not be credited to a “securities account” (within the
meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the UCC).

 

Section 9                                              Voting Rights;
Distributions; Etc.

 

Section 9.1                                    So long as no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing:

 

(i)                                     Each Pledgor shall be entitled to
exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the
Security Collateral of each Pledgor or any part thereof for any purpose;
provided, however, that such Pledgor will not exercise or

 

L-9

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

 

refrain from exercising any such right if such action would have a material
adverse effect on the value of the Security Collateral or any part thereof.

 

(ii)                                  Except as provided pursuant to
Section 7.2, each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all
dividends, interest and other distributions paid in respect of the Security
Collateral of such Pledgor if and to the extent that the payment thereof is not
otherwise prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents.

 

(iii)                               The Collateral Agent will execute and
deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Pledgor all such proxies
and other instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of
enabling such Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights that it is
entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above and to receive the
dividends or interest payments that it is authorized to receive and retain
pursuant to paragraph (ii) above.

 

Section 9.2                                    Upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default:

 

(i)                                     All rights of each Pledgor (x) to
exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that
it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 9.1(i) shall,
upon notice to such Pledgor by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent,
cease and (y) to receive the dividends, interest and other distributions that it
would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to
Section 9.1(ii) shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon
become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right
to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights
and to receive and hold as Security Collateral such dividends, interest and
other distributions.

 

(ii)                                  All dividends, interest and other
distributions that are received by any Pledgor contrary to the provisions of
paragraph (i) of this Section 9.2 shall be received in trust for the benefit of
the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Pledgor and
shall be promptly paid over to the Collateral Agent as Security Collateral in
the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

 

Section 10                                       Transfers and Other Liens;
Additional Equity Interests.

 

Section 10.1                             Each Pledgor agrees that it will not
(i) sell, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to,
any of the Collateral, other than sales, assignments and other dispositions of
the Collateral, and options relating to the Collateral, permitted under the
terms of the Credit Agreement, or (ii) create or suffer to exist any Lien upon
or with respect to any of the Collateral except for the pledge, assignment and
security interest created under this Agreement and Permitted Liens.

 

Section 10.2                             Except as otherwise issued in a
Qualified Public Offering or other transaction permitted under the Credit
Agreement, each Pledgor agrees that it shall (i) cause each issuer of the
Pledged Interests pledged by such Pledgor not to issue any Equity Interests or
other securities in addition to or in substitution for the Pledged Interests
issued by such issuer, except to such Pledgor, and (ii) pledge hereunder,
immediately upon its acquisition (directly or indirectly) thereof, any and all
such additional Equity Interests or other securities held or received by such

in the name of such Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default in the Collateral Agent’s
discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Collateral
Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement, including, without limitation:

Section 11.1 above, and

 

Section 11.3                             to file any claims or take any action
or institute any proceedings that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or
desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or the rights of the
Collateral Agent with respect to any of the Collateral.

 

Section 12                                       Collateral Agent May Perform. 
If any Pledgor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral

Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Pledgor under
Section 15.

 

Section 13                                       The Collateral Agent’s Duties.

 

Section 13.1                             The powers conferred on the Collateral
Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interest in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. 
Except for (i) the exercise of reasonable care with respect to, and the safe
custody of, any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys
actually received by it hereunder, and (ii) liability for the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of any of the Collateral Agent’s officers, directors,
agents or employees, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability as to
any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls,
conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any
Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge
of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights
against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.  The
Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral
is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own
property.

 

Section 13.2                             Anything contained herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent may from time to time, when the
Collateral Agent deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more subagents (each,
a “Subagent”) for the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to all or any part
of the Collateral.  In the event that the Collateral Agent so appoints any
Subagent with respect to any Collateral, (i) the assignment and pledge of such
Collateral and the security interest granted in such Collateral by each Pledgor
hereunder shall be deemed for purposes of this Pledge Agreement to have been
made to such Subagent, in addition to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable
benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Secured Obligations of such
Pledgor, (ii) such Subagent shall automatically be vested, in

 

L-11

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

 

addition to the Collateral Agent, with all rights, powers, privileges, interests
and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to such Collateral,
and (iii) the term “Collateral Agent,” when used herein in relation to any
rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent with
respect to such Collateral, shall include such Subagent; provided, however, that
no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any such
Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by
the Collateral Agent.

 

Section 14                                       Remedies.  If any Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

 

Section 14.1                             The Collateral Agent may exercise in
respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for
herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured
party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected
Collateral) and also may:  (i) without notice except as specified below, sell
the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private
sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit
or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may
deem commercially reasonable; and (ii) exercise any and all rights and remedies
of any of the Pledgors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise
in respect of the Collateral.  Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of
sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to such Pledgor of
the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale
is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.  The Collateral Agent
shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of
sale having been given.  The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private
sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and
such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it
was so adjourned.

 

Section 14.2                             Any cash held by or on behalf of the
Collateral Agent and all cash proceeds received by or on behalf of the
Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other
realization upon all or any part of the Collateral will be applied (after
payment of any amounts payable to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 15)
by the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties against
the Secured Obligations in accordance with the priority for payments set forth
in the Credit Agreement.  Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by or
on the behalf of the Collateral Agent and remaining after payment in full of all
the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the applicable Pledgor or to
whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

 

Section 14.3                             All payments received by any Pledgor in
respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Pledgor and shall
be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received
(with any necessary indorsement).

 

Section 14.4                             If the Collateral Agent shall determine
to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Security Collateral of any
Pledgor pursuant to this Section 14, each Pledgor agrees that, upon request of
the Collateral Agent, such Pledgor will, at its own expense, provide the
Collateral Agent with such other information and projections as may be necessary
or, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent,
advisable to enable the Collateral Agent to effect the sale of such Security
Collateral and otherwise cooperate with such sale of such Security Collateral or
any part thereof as the Collateral Agent reasonably requires to ensure that such
sale is valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.

 

L-12

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

 

Section 14.5                             The Collateral Agent is authorized, in
connection with any sale of the Security Collateral pursuant to this Section 14,
to deliver or otherwise disclose to any prospective purchaser of the Security
Collateral:  (i) any information and projections provided to it pursuant to
Section 14.1 above; and (ii) any other information in its possession relating to
such Security Collateral.

 

Section 14.6                             The rights of the Collateral Agent and
Administrative Agent under this Agreement shall not be conditioned or contingent
upon the pursuit by the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent of any right or
remedy against any Pledgor or against any other Person which may be or become
liable in respect of all or any part of the Secured Obligations or against any
other security therefore, guarantee thereof or right of offset with respect
thereto.  The Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall not be liable for
any failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral
or for any delay in doing so, nor shall it be under any obligation to sell or
otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Pledgor or any other
Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or
any part thereof.

 

Section 15                                       Indemnity and Expenses.

 

Section 15.1                             Each Pledgor agrees to indemnify,
defend and save and hold harmless each Secured Party and each of their
Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and
advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and shall pay on
demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that
may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each
case arising out of or in connection with or resulting from this Agreement
(including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the
extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final,
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

Section 15.2                             Each Pledgor will upon demand pay to
the Collateral Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including,
without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any
experts and agents, that the Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent may incur
in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody,
preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from or other
realization upon, any of the Collateral of such Pledgor, (iii) the exercise or
enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent and Administrative
Agent or the other Secured Parties hereunder or (iv) the failure by such Pledgor
to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

 

Section 16                                       Amendments; Waivers; Additional
Pledgors, Etc.

 

Section 16.1                             No amendment shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the parties hereto. 
No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by
any Pledgor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose
for which given.  No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other
Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder, shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right.

authentication, by any Person of a pledge agreement supplement in substantially

Pledgor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure, together with the rights and
remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured
Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assigns.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Secured Party may
assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations
under the Credit Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof (including,
without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments, the Loans owing to it
and the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) to any other Person, and such other
Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof
granted to such Secured Party herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in
Section 12.5 of the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 19                                       Release; Termination.

any Pledgor or any other Person;

Pledgor to the extent the Secured Obligations hereunder render such Pledgor
insolvent.  Such rights of subrogation, contribution and reimbursement shall be
subordinate to the Secured Obligations, and no Pledgor shall enforce any such
rights until the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full.

shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier or email (in
.pdf or similar electronic format) shall be effective as delivery of an original
executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 

Section 23                                       The Credit Agreement.  If any
conflict or inconsistency exists between this Agreement and the Credit
Agreement, the Credit Agreement shall control and govern to the extent of such
inconsistency.

 

Section 24                                       Jurisdiction, Etc.

 

Section 24.1                             Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the
exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the

enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the

proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the
Loan Parties or their properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

 

Section 24.2                             Each of the parties hereto irrevocably

parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court.

shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
New York.

 

Section 26.                                    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  Each of
the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally  waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any right it may have to a trial by jury
in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in
connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and (b) any
claims for punitive damages (to the extent such claims arise from the use of
proceeds of the Loans for the purpose of acquisitions).  Each party hereto
(i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has
represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party 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
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable, by, among other things,
the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 26.

INDUSTRIAL LOGISTICS PROPERTIES TRUST

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Reference is made to (i) the Credit Agreement dated as of December 29, 2017 (as
amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to
time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Industrial Logistics Properties Trust, a
Maryland real estate investment trust, as the Borrower, the Secured Parties
party thereto, Citibank, N.A., as collateral agent (together with any successor
collateral agent appointed pursuant to Article VIII of the Credit Agreement, the
“Collateral Agent”), and Citibank, N. A., as administrative agent for the
Lenders and the other financial institutions party thereto, and (ii) the Pledge
Agreement dated December 29, 2017 (as amended, amended and restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Pledge Agreement”)
made by the Pledgors from time to time party thereto in favor of the Collateral
Agent for the Secured Parties.  Terms defined in the Credit Agreement or the
Pledge Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are used herein as defined in
the Credit Agreement or the Pledge Agreement.

 

SECTION 1.  Grant of Security.  The undersigned hereby grants to the Collateral
Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in
all of its right, title and interest in and to all of the Collateral of the
undersigned, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned,
wherever located and whether now or hereafter existing or arising, including,
without limitation, the property and assets of the undersigned set forth on the
attached Supplemental Schedules to the Schedules to the Pledge Agreement.

 

SECTION 2.  Security for Obligations.  The grant of a security interest in, the
Collateral by the undersigned under this Pledge Agreement Supplement and the
Pledge Agreement secures the payment of all Obligations of the undersigned now
or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents, whether direct
or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, reimbursement
obligations, interest, premiums, penalties, fees, indemnifications, contract
causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise.  Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, this Pledge Agreement Supplement and the Pledge Agreement
secure the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Secured
Obligations and that would be owed by the undersigned to any Secured Party under
the Loan Documents but for the fact that such Secured Obligations are
unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding involving a Loan Party or SIR.

 

SECTION 3.  Supplements to Pledge Agreement Schedules.  The undersigned has
attached hereto Supplemental Schedules I through III to Schedules I and II
respectively,

 

L-28

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

 

to the Pledge Agreement, and the undersigned hereby certifies, as of the date
first above written, that such Supplemental Schedules have been prepared by the
undersigned in substantially the form of the equivalent Schedules to the Pledge
Agreement and are complete and correct.

 

SECTION 4.  Representations and Warranties.  The undersigned hereby makes each
representation and warranty set forth in Section 5 of the Pledge Agreement (as
supplemented by the attached Supplemental Schedules) to the same extent as each
other Pledgor.

 

SECTION 5.  Obligations Under the Pledge Agreement.  The undersigned hereby
agrees, as of the date first above written, to be bound as a Pledgor by all of
the terms and provisions of the Pledge Agreement to the same extent as each of
the other Pledgors.  The undersigned further agrees, as of the date first above
written, that each reference in the Pledge Agreement to an “Additional Pledgor”
or a “Pledgor” shall also mean and be a reference to the undersigned.

 

SECTION 6.  Jurisdiction, Etc.  (a)  Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the
exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the
United States of America sitting in the County and City of New York, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Pledge Agreement Supplement or the other Loan Documents, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any
such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State
court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.  Each of the
parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action 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 Pledge
Agreement Supplement shall affect any right that any Secured Party may otherwise
have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Pledge Agreement
Supplement or the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or their
properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

 

(b)  Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may
now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this agreement or the other Loan Documents in any
New York State or Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient
forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 

SECTION 7.  Governing Law.  This Pledge Agreement Supplement shall be governed
by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

 

SECTION 8.  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  The undersigned unconditionally waives, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any right it may have to a
trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out
of, under or in connection with this Pledge Agreement Supplement or any of the
other Loan Documents and (b) any claims for punitive damages (to the extent such
claims arise from the use of proceeds of the Loans for the purpose of
acquisitions).  Each party hereto (i) certifies that no representative, agent or
attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such
other

 

L-29

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

 

party 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 Pledge Agreement Supplement and the other Loan
Documents, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and
certifications in this Section 8.
