     Section 2.1. Sharing of Certain Recoveries. The Company Facility Agent, for

itself and the GAC Facility Creditors, each hereby agrees that any payments or
other recoveries (including payments and recoveries made through setoff of
deposit balances or otherwise) from the Company or any Parent Company after a
Trigger Event (each such payment or recovery, a “Shared Recovery”) shall be
shared so that each Creditor shall receive its Pro Rata Share of such Shared
Recovery; provided, that the term “Shared Recovery” shall not include any
payments or recoveries (x) from any Proceeds of Collateral (including, without
limitation, dividends or distributions to the Company or any Parent Company made
with such Proceeds, but excluding any dividends or distributions that are
commingled with other funds of the Company or any Parent Company and are not
“identifiable” (as defined in Section 9-315 of the Code)), (y) from any
Subsidiary Guarantor or (z) from any Distributions (as defined in the GAC Term
Loan Agreement) to the Company or any Parent Company from GAC in violation of
the terms of the GAC Term Loan Agreement, but excluding any Distributions that
are commingled with other funds of the Company or any Parent Company and are not
“identifiable” (as defined in Section 9-315 of the Code). Accordingly, in the
event (i) any Creditor shall receive a Shared Recovery (for purposes of this
Section 2.1, a “Receiving Creditor”), and (ii) any other Creditor shall not
concurrently receive its Pro Rata Share of such Shared Recovery, then each
Receiving Creditor (or the Company Facility Agent or GAC Facility Agent acting
on its behalf) shall promptly remit the Excess Payment to each other Creditor
(or the Company Facility Agent or GAC Facility Agent

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

 

acting on its behalf) who shall then be entitled thereto so that after giving
effect to such payment (and any other payments then being made by any other
Receiving Creditor pursuant to this Section 2.1) each Creditor shall have
received its Pro Rata Share of such Shared Recovery.
     For purposes of determining the Pro Rata Share of any Shared Recovery,
commitments to advance funds shall not constitute outstanding Subject
Obligations, but the undrawn amount of any outstanding letters of credit shall
constitute outstanding Subject Obligations with the Shared Recovery attributable
to such letters of credit deemed held by the Company Facility Agent or GAC
Facility Agent, as applicable. If the Company Facility Agent or GAC Facility
Agent receives a portion of a Shared Recovery pursuant to this Section 2.1 with
respect to an outstanding letter of credit and subsequently such letter of
credit expires without having been drawn upon in full, such Person shall
calculate the aggregate amount that it received or retained under this
Section 2.1 solely because the undrawn amount of such letter of credit was
treated as an outstanding Subject Obligation, and shall treat such amount as a
Shared Recovery to be shared pursuant to this Section 2.1.
Section 2.2. Information Concerning Shared Recoveries. The Company Facility
Agent and GAC Facility Agent each agree to promptly notify the other in writing
of the receipt of any Shared Recovery. Such notice shall describe, at a minimum
(i) the name of the Person that made such Shared Recovery and the manner in
which such Shared Recovery was made, (ii) the date such Shared Recovery was
received, (iii) the amount of such Shared Recovery and (iv) the amount of
Subject Obligations owing to the Receiving Creditors. Each Creditor (or the
Company Facility Agent or GAC Facility Agent acting on its behalf) shall
promptly notify the Receiving Creditor (or the Company Facility Agent or GAC
Facility Agent acting on its behalf), in writing, of the amount of Subject
Obligations owing to such Creditor.
     Section 2.3. Purchase of Participations. Upon receipt of a statement of
Shared Recoveries owing under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.2, the
Company Facility Agent and GAC Facility Agent shall calculate the Pro Rata Share
of Shared Recoveries for each Creditor and all Receiving Creditors (or the
Company Facility Agent or GAC Facility Agent acting on their behalf to the
extent of the receipt thereof by the Company Facility Agent or GAC Facility
Agent, as the case may be) shall remit the appropriate amount to each Creditor
entitled to share in the Shared Recoveries. Any such payments shall be deemed to
be and shall be made in consideration of the purchase for cash at face value,
but without recourse, ratably from the other Creditors of a participation
interest in such amount of Subject Obligations to the extent necessary to cause
such Receiving Creditor to share such Excess Payment with the other Creditors as
provided above; provided, that if any such purchase is made by any Receiving
Creditor and if such Excess Payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from
such Receiving Creditor by the Company or a Parent Company (including, without
limitation, by any trustee in bankruptcy of the Company or such Parent Company
or any creditor thereof), the related purchase from the other Creditors shall be
rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such
Excess Payment so recovered, but without interest; and provided further nothing
herein contained shall obligate any Creditor to resort to any setoff,
application of deposit balance or other means of payment of the Subject
Obligations or avail itself of any recourse by resort to any property of any
Credit Party, the taking of any such action to remain within the absolute
discretion of such Creditor without obligation of any kind to the other
Creditors to take

7

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

 

any such action. In the event a Creditor shall determine that it is reasonably
necessary to evidence the purchase of a participation interest in the Subject
Obligations by such Creditor pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
paragraph, the seller thereof upon the request of such Creditor shall take such
action as shall be reasonably necessary to document such purchase. Any Receiving
Creditor that sells a participation interest in Subject Obligations pursuant to
the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall retain all of such Creditor’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement and applicable Facility Documents,
including, without limitation, the right to enforce the provisions of this
Agreement and the underlying Facility Documents and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver thereof.
Article 3. Agreements Among The Creditors.
     Section 3.1. Independent Actions by Creditors. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall prohibit any Creditor from accelerating the maturity of, or
demanding payment from any Credit Party on, any Subject Obligation or from
instituting legal action against any such Person to obtain a judgment or other
legal process in respect of any Subject Obligation, but any Shared Recoveries
shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
     Section 3.2. Relation of Creditors. This Agreement is entered into solely
for the purposes set forth herein, and no Creditor assumes any responsibility to
any other party hereto to advise such other party of information known to such

other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any Subject
Obligation. Each of the Credit Parties and the Creditors specifically
acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained in this Agreement is or is
