Any request under this Section 2.01(b) shall be submitted by the Borrowers to
the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly forward copies to the Lenders),
specify the proposed effective date and amount of such increase (and whether
such increase shall be an increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment) and
be accompanied by a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating that no Default
exists or will occur as a result of such increase.  If any fees are to be paid
or offered in connection with such increase, the Administrative Agent (with the
consent of Borrowers) may also specify any fees offered to those Lenders (the
“Increasing Lenders”) which agree to increase the amount of their respective
Revolving Loan Commitment, which fees may

 

37

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

 

be variable based upon the amount by which any such Lender is willing to
increase the amount of its Revolving Loan Commitment; no Lender which is not an
Increasing Lender shall be entitled to receive any such fees.  No Lender shall
have any obligation, express or implied, to offer to increase the amount of its
Revolving Loan Commitment.  Only the consent of each Increasing Lender shall be
required for an increase in the amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment
pursuant to this Section 2.01(b)(i).  No Lender which elects not to increase the
amount of its Revolving Loan Commitment may be replaced in respect of its
existing Revolving Loan Commitment as a result thereof without such Lender’s
written consent.

 

(ii)           Each Increasing Lender shall, as soon as practicable after the
Borrowers have submitted a request under Section 2.01(b)(i), specify the amount
of the proposed increase in its Revolving Loan Commitment which it is willing to
offer.  To the extent the increased Revolving Loan Commitment of the Increasing
Lenders is insufficient or there are no Increasing Lenders, the Borrowers may
designate new lenders who qualify as Eligible Assignees and which are reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent as additional Lenders hereunder in
accordance with this Section 2.01(b)(ii) (each such new Lender being a “New
Lender”), which New Lender may assume all or a portion of the increase in the
amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment.  The Borrowers shall pay a fee to
the Administrative Agent solely for the account of the Administrative Agent in
connection with any such increase as set forth in the Fee Letter.  The Borrowers
and the Administrative Agent shall have discretion jointly to adjust the
allocation of the increased aggregate principal amount of the Total Revolving
Loan Commitment among Increasing Lenders and New Lenders.

 

(iii)          Each New Lender designated by the Borrowers and reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall become an additional party hereto
as a New Lender concurrently with the effectiveness of the proposed increase in
the amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment upon its execution of an
instrument of joinder (which may contain such modifications to this Agreement
and terms and conditions relating thereto as may be necessary to ensure that
such Revolving Loan Commitments are treated as Revolving Loan Commitments for
all purposes under the Loan Documents), in each case prepared by the
Administrative Agent and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent.  Each New Lender shall provide the documentation
required by Section 2.12(e).

 

(iv)          Subject to the foregoing, any increase in the Total Revolving Loan
Commitment requested by the Borrowers shall be effective as of the date proposed
by the Borrowers (the “Increase Effective Date”) and shall be in the principal
amount equal to (i) the amount which the Increasing Lenders are willing to
assume as increases to the amount of their Revolving Loan Commitments plus
(ii) the amount offered by the New Lenders with respect to the Total Revolving
Loan Commitment, in either case as adjusted by the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.01(b)(ii).

 

(v)           On or prior to the Increase Effective Date, with respect to any
increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, the Administrative Agent shall
notify each Lender of the amount required to be paid by or to such Lender so
that the Revolving Loans held by the Lenders on the Increase Effective Date
(before giving effect to any new Revolving Loans made on such date) shall be
held by each Lender pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Loan

 

38

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

 

Commitments of the Lenders as adjusted pursuant to the last sentence of
Section 2.01(b)(ii).  Each Lender which is required to reduce the amount of
Revolving Loans held by it (each such Lender, a “Decreasing Lender”) shall
irrevocably assign, without recourse or warranty of any kind whatsoever (except
that each Decreasing Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner
of the Revolving Loans assigned by it under this Section 2.01(b)(v) and that
such Revolving Loans are held by such Decreasing Lender free and clear of
adverse claims), to each Increasing Lender and New Lender participating in the
applicable increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, and each applicable
Increasing Lender and New Lender shall irrevocably acquire from the Decreasing
Lenders, a portion of the principal amount of the Revolving Loans of each
Decreasing Lender (collectively, the “Acquired Portion”) outstanding on the
Increase Effective Date (before giving effect to any new Revolving Loans made on
such date) in an amount such that the principal amount of the Revolving Loans
held by each applicable Increasing Lender, New Lender and Decreasing Lender as
of the Increase Effective Date shall be held in accordance with each such
Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share (if any) as of such date.  Such
assignment and acquisition shall be effective on the Increase Effective Date
automatically and without any action required on the part of any party other
than the payment by the applicable Increasing Lenders and New Lenders to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Decreasing Lenders of an aggregate
amount equal to the Acquired Portion, which amount shall be allocated and paid
by the Administrative Agent at or before 12:00 noon on the Increase Effective
Date to the Decreasing Lenders pro rata based upon the respective reductions in
the principal amount of the Revolving Loans held by such Lenders on the Increase
Effective Date (before giving effect to any new Revolving Loans made on such
date).  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall adjust its
records accordingly to reflect the payment of the Acquired Portion.  The
payments to be made in respect of the Acquired Portion shall be made by the
applicable Increasing Lenders and New Lenders to the Administrative Agent in
Dollars in immediately available funds at or before 11:00 a.m. on the Increase
Effective Date, such payments to be made by the applicable Increasing Lenders
and New Lenders pro rata based upon the respective increases in the amount of
the Revolving Loan Commitments held by such Lenders on the Increase Effective
Date.

 

(vi)          To the extent any of the Revolving Loans acquired by the
applicable Increasing Lenders and New Lenders from the Decreasing Lenders
pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(v) above are LIBOR Loans and the Increase Effective
Date is not the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans, the
Decreasing Lenders shall not be entitled to compensation from the Borrowers as
provided in Section 2.13 (as if the Borrowers had prepaid such Revolving Loans
in an amount equal to the Acquired Portion on the Increase Effective Date).

 

(c)           Notice of Loan Borrowing.  The Borrowers shall request each
Revolving Loan Borrowing by delivering to the Administrative Agent an
irrevocable written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A (a “Notice of
Loan Borrowing”), duly executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers and
appropriately completed (or shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone,
to be promptly confirmed by the delivery to the Administrative Agent of a signed
Notice of Loan Borrowing, which may be delivered by facsimile or e-mail), which
specifies, among other things:

 

39

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

 

(i)            The principal amount of the requested Revolving Loan Borrowing,
which shall be in the amount of (A) $50,000 or an integral multiple of $10,000

(B) $100,000 or an integral multiple of $10,000 in excess thereof in the case of
a Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans;

 

(ii)           Whether the requested Revolving Loan Borrowing is to consist of
Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans;

 

(iii)          If the requested Revolving Loan Borrowing is to consist of LIBOR

Loans in accordance with Section 2.01(f); and

 

(iv)          The date of the requested Revolving Loan Borrowing, which shall be
a Business Day.

 

The Borrowers shall give each Notice of Loan Borrowing for Revolving Loans to
the Administrative Agent not later than (1) 11:00 a.m. at least three
(3) Business Days before the date of the requested Revolving Loan Borrowing in
the case of a Revolving Loan Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans and
(2) 11:00 a.m. at least one (1) Business Day before the date of the requested
Revolving Loan Borrowing in the case of a Revolving Loan Borrowing consisting of
Base Rate Loans.  Each Notice of Loan Borrowing shall be delivered by
first-class mail or facsimile or by e-mail containing a PDF of such signed and
completed Notice of Loan Borrowing to the Administrative Agent at the office or
facsimile number or e-mail address, as the case may be, and during the hours
specified in Section 8.01; provided, however, that, if requested by the
Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall promptly deliver to the Administrative
Agent the original of any Notice of Loan Borrowing initially delivered by
facsimile or e-mail.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender
of the contents of each Notice of Loan Borrowing for Revolving Loans and of the
amount and Type of (and, if applicable, the Interest Period for) the Revolving
Loan to be made by such Lender as part of the requested Revolving Loan
Borrowing.

 

(d)          Interest Rates.  The Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid
principal amount of each Revolving Loan from the date of such Revolving Loan
until paid in full, at one of the following rates per annum:

 

(i)            During such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate
per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin therefor, such rate
to change from time to time as the Applicable Margin or Base Rate shall change;
and

 

(ii)           During such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at a rate per
annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan to the
LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin therefor, such
rate to change from time to time during such Interest Period as the Applicable
Margin shall change.

 

All Revolving Loans in each Revolving Loan Borrowing shall, at any given time
prior to maturity, bear interest at one, and only one, of the above rates.  The
number of Revolving Loan Borrowings consisting of LIBOR Loans shall not exceed
eight (8) in the aggregate at any time.

 

40

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

 

(e)          Conversion of Loans.  Subject to Section 2.13, the Borrowers may
convert any Revolving Loan Borrowing from one Type of Revolving Loan Borrowing
to the other Type; provided that any conversion of a Revolving Loan Borrowing
consisting of Base Rate Loans into a Revolving Loan Borrowing consisting of
LIBOR Loans shall be in the amount of $50,000 or an integral multiple of $10,000
in excess thereof and any conversion of a Revolving Loan Borrowing consisting of
LIBOR Loans into a Revolving Loan Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Loans shall
be in the amount of $100,000 or an integral multiple of $10,000 in excess
thereof; provided, further, that (i) no Base Rate Loan may be converted into a
LIBOR Loan after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default and (ii) any conversion of a LIBOR Loan on any day other than the last
day of the Interest Period therefor shall be subject to the payments required
under Section 2.13.  The Borrowers shall request such a conversion by delivering
to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable written notice to the Administrative
Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit B (a “Notice of Conversion”), duly
executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers and appropriately completed
(or shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone, to be promptly confirmed
by the delivery to the Administrative Agent of a signed Notice of Conversion,
which may be delivered by facsimile or e-mail), which specifies, among other
things:

 

(i)            The Revolving Loan Borrowing which is to be converted;

 

(ii)           The Type of Revolving Loan Borrowing into which such Revolving
Loan Borrowing is to be converted;

 

(iii)          If such Revolving Loan Borrowing is to be converted into a
Revolving Loan Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period
selected by the Borrowers for such LIBOR Loans in accordance with
Section 2.01(f), as applicable; and

 

(iv)          The date of the requested conversion, which shall be a Business
Day.

 

The Borrowers shall give each Notice of Conversion to the Administrative Agent
not later than 11:00 a.m. at least three (3) Business Days before the date of
the requested conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or at least one
(1) Business Day before the date of the requested conversion of a LIBOR Loan
into a Base Rate Loan.  Each Notice of Conversion shall be delivered by
first-class mail or facsimile or by e-mail containing a PDF of such signed and
completed Notice of Conversion to the Administrative Agent at the office or to
the facsimile number or e-mail address and during the hours specified in
Section 8.01; provided, however, that, if requested by the Administrative Agent,
the Borrowers shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent the original of
any Notice of Conversion initially delivered by facsimile or e-mail.  The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents of each
Notice of Conversion relating to Revolving Loans.

 

(f)           LIBOR Loan Interest Periods.

 

(i)            The initial and each subsequent Interest Period selected by the
Borrowers for a Revolving Loan Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans shall be one
(1), three (3) or six (6) months; provided, however, that (A) any Interest
Period which would otherwise

 

41

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

 

end on a day which is not a Business Day shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day unless such next Business Day falls in another calendar
month, in which case such Interest Period shall end on the immediately preceding
Business Day; (B) any Interest Period which begins on the last Business Day of a
calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day
in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last
Business Day of a calendar month; (C) no Interest Period shall end after the
Maturity Date; (D) no LIBOR Loan shall be made or continued for an additional
Interest Period after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default and (E) No LIBOR Loan shall be made which would cause the sum of (1) the
aggregate amount of all LIBOR Loans having Interest Periods ending after any
Reduction Date and (2) the undrawn amount of Letters of Credit expiring after
such Reduction Date to be in excess of the amount of the Total Revolving Loan
Commitment, as scheduled to be reduced pursuant to Section 2.04(b) on that
Reduction Date.

 

(ii)           The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of the
Borrowers’ selection of a new Interest Period for a Revolving Loan Borrowing by
an irrevocable written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Notice
of Interest Period Selection”), duly executed by a Responsible Officer of the
Borrowers and appropriately completed (or shall notify the Administrative Agent
by telephone, to be promptly confirmed by the delivery to the Administrative
Agent of a signed Notice of Interest Period Selection, which may be delivered by
facsimile or e-mail), not later than 11:00 a.m. at least three (3) Business Days
prior to the last day of each Interest Period for a Revolving Loan Borrowing
consisting of LIBOR Loans; provided, however, that no LIBOR Loan shall be
continued for an additional Interest Period after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default.  Each Notice of Interest Period Selection
shall be given by first-class mail or facsimile or by e-mail containing a PDF of
such signed and completed Notice of Interest Period Selection to the
Administrative Agent to the office or the facsimile number or e-mail address and
during the hours specified in Section 8.01; provided, however, that, if
requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall promptly deliver to
the Administrative Agent the original of any Notice of Interest Period Selection
initially delivered by facsimile or e-mail.  If (A) the Borrowers shall fail to
notify the Administrative Agent of the next Interest Period for a Revolving Loan
Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans in accordance with this Section 2.01(f) or
(B) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the last date of an
Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan, such LIBOR Loan(s) shall automatically
convert to Base Rate Loan(s) in Dollars on the last day of the current Interest
Period therefor.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of
the contents of each Notice of Interest Period Selection for the Revolving
Loans.

 

(g)          Scheduled Payments.

 

(i)            Interest — All Loans.  The Borrowers shall pay accrued interest
on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan thereof in arrears (i) in
the case of a Base Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter
(commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2011), (ii) in the case
of a LIBOR Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period therefor (and, if any
such Interest Period is longer than three (3) months, every three (3) months
after the first day of such Interest Period); and (iii) in the case of all
Loans, on the Maturity Date.  All interest that is not paid when due shall be
due on demand.

 

42

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

 

(ii)           Scheduled Principal Payments - Revolving Loans and Reimbursed
Amounts.  The Borrowers shall repay the then unpaid principal amount of the
Revolving Loans and Unreimbursed Amounts on the Maturity Date.  The Borrowers
shall also make the mandatory prepayments required by Section 2.06(c).

 

2.02.       Letters of Credit.

 

(a)          The Letter of Credit Commitment.

 

(i)            On the Closing Date, the Existing Letters of Credit shall be
deemed to have been issued hereunder, and each Revolving Lender shall thereupon
acquire a participation interest therein in accordance with its Revolving
Proportionate Share and the terms of this Section 2.02.  The Existing Letters of
Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after
the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions
hereof.  On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, (A) the
L/C Issuer (1) shall, from time to time on any Business Day during the period
from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, issue Letters
of Credit in Dollars for the account of a Borrower in support of the obligations
of such Borrower or any other Loan Party, and to amend or renew Letters of
Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and
(2) shall honor drafts under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders
severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of a
Borrower in support of the obligations of such Borrower or any other Loan Party;
provided that the L/C Issuer shall not be obligated to make any L/C Credit
Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, and no Lender shall be obligated
to participate in, any Letter of Credit if as of the date of such L/C Credit
Extension, (x) the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and
L/C Obligations would exceed the Total Available Commitment at such time,
(y) the aggregate Effective Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus
such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the Effective Amount of all L/C
Obligations, plus such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the Effective
Amount of all Swing Line Loans would exceed such Lender’s Revolving
Proportionate Share of the Total Available Commitment, or (z) the Effective
Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit.  Each
Letter of Credit shall be in a form acceptable to the L/C Issuer.  Within the
foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers’
ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly
the Borrowers may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to
replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and
reimbursed.

 

(ii)           The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter
of Credit if:

 

(A)          any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or
arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from
issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to the L/C
Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from
any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit,
or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit
generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C
Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital
requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder)
not in effect on the Closing

 

43

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

 

Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense
which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good
faith deems material to it;

 

(B)          subject to Section 2.02(b)(iii), (1) in the case of any Standby
Letter of Credit, the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur
more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last renewal or (2) in the
case of any Commercial Letter of Credit, the expiry date of such requested
Letter of Credit would occur more than 180 days after the date of issuance or
last renewal, in either case unless the Required Lenders have approved such
expiry date;

 

(C)          the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur
after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved
such expiry date;

 

(D)          the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more
policies of the L/C Issuer or the terms and conditions of the applicable Letter
of Credit Application;

 

(E)           such Letter of Credit is in a face amount less than $25,000, in
the case of a Commercial Letter of Credit, or $100,000, in the case of any other
type of Letter of Credit, or denominated in a currency other than Dollars;

 

(F)           such Letter of Credit is in violation of the ISP, the UCP or other
applicable Governmental Rule;

 

(G)          a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under
Section 2.02(c) exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender
hereunder, unless the Administrative Agent has received (as set forth below)
Cash Collateral or similar security satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole
discretion) from the Borrowers in respect of such Defaulting Lender’s obligation
to fund under Section 2.02(c) or the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements
satisfactory to the L/C Issuer with the Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate
the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender.

 

(iii)          The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter
of Credit.

 

(b)          Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit;
Evergreen Letters of Credit.

 

(i)            Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may
be, upon the request of the Borrowers delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application,
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers. 
Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the
Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., at least four (4) Business Days
(or such later date and time as the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular
instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of
amendment, as the case may be.  In the case of a request for an initial issuance
of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form
and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the

 

44

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

 

proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which date shall be a
Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name
and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by
such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any
certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing
thereunder; (G) the account party thereunder, and (H) such other matters as the
L/C Issuer may require.  In the case of a request for an amendment of any
outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in
form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be
amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which date shall be a
Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other
matters as the L/C Issuer may require.

 

(ii)           Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the
L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in
writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of
Credit Application from the Borrowers and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide
the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.  Upon receipt by the L/C Issuer of
confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or
amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer, on the requested date, issue a
Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower or enter into the
applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the
L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.  Immediately upon the
issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a
participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such
Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share times the amount of such Letter of
Credit.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender upon the
issuance of a Letter of Credit.

 

(iii)          If the Borrowers so request in any applicable Letter of Credit
Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to
issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an
“Evergreen Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Evergreen Letter of Credit
must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each
twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of
Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day
(the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed
upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by
the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall not be required to make a specific request
to the L/C Issuer for any such renewal.  Once an Evergreen Letter of Credit has
been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not
require) the L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any
time to a date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided,
however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (A) the L/C
Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in
its renewed form under the terms hereof, or (B) it has received notice (which
may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the Business Day immediately
preceding the Nonrenewal Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the
Required Lenders have elected not to permit such renewal or (2) from the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrowers that one or more of the
applicable conditions specified in Section 3.02 is not then satisfied. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the L/C Issuer shall
have no obligation to permit the renewal of any Evergreen Letter of Credit at
any time.

 

45

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

 

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

 

(c)          Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

 

(i)            Upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall
notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of the amount to be paid by
the L/C Issuer as a result of such drawing and the date on which payment is to
be made by the L/C Issuer to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit in respect
of such drawing; provided, however, that in the case of Commercial Letters of
Credit, subsequent notification by routine methods shall be deemed sufficient
notice.  Not later than 11:00 a.m., on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer
under a Letter of Credit (each such date of payment, an “Honor Date”), the
Borrowers shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an
amount equal to the amount of such drawing, which may be effected through the
debiting of one or more deposit accounts maintained with the Administrative
Agent.  If the Borrowers fail to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the
amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and such
Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share thereof.  In such event, the Borrowers
shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan Borrowing of Base Rate Loans
to be disbursed on the Business Day following the Honor Date in an amount equal
to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples
specified in Section 2.01 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but
subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Total Available
Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 (other than the delivery
of a Notice of Loan Borrowing for Revolving Loans).  Any notice given by the L/C
Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.02(c)(i) may be
given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided, that the lack
of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding
effect of such notice.

 

(ii)           Each Lender (including the Lender acting as L/C Issuer) shall
upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(i) make funds available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative
Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Revolving Proportionate Share of the
Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in
such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.02(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed
to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers in such amount.  The
Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

 

(iii)          With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully
refinanced by a Revolving Loan Borrowing because the conditions set forth in
Section 3.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrowers shall be
deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of
the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be
due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at
the rate applicable to Revolving Loans upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default.  In such event, each Lender’s payment to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to
Section 2.02(c)(ii) shall be

 

46

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

 

deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall
constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation
obligation under this Section 2.02.

 

(iv)          Until each Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant
to this Section 2.02(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under
any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Revolving
Proportionate Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C
Issuer. For the avoidance of doubt, interest shall accrue beginning on the Honor
Date for any such draw under a Letter of Credit.

 

(v)           Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances
to reimburse the L/C Issuer for, or participate in, amounts drawn under Letters
of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.02(c), shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may
have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default,
or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any
of the foregoing.  Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair
the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of
any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with
interest as provided herein.

 

(vi)          If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.02(c) by the time
specified in Section 2.02(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover
from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such
amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is
required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C
Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate.  A certificate
of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent)
with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.

 

(d)          Repayment of Participations.

 

(i)            At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any
Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in
respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.02(c), if the
Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment
related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrowers or
otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the
Administrative Agent), or any payment of interest thereon, the Administrative
Agent will distribute to such Lender its Revolving Proportionate Share thereof
in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

 

(ii)           If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the
account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(i) is required to be
returned, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the L/C Issuer its Revolving Proportionate Share thereof on demand of the
Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the
date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the
daily Federal Funds Rate.

 

47

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

 

(e)           Obligations Absolute.  The obligation of the Borrowers to
reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit, and to
repay each L/C Borrowing and each drawing under a Letter of Credit that is
refinanced by a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, shall be absolute, unconditional
and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents under all circumstances, including the
following:

 

(i)            any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit,
this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

 

(ii)           any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
other term of, all or any of the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any
Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of, or any consent to
departure from, all or any of the Loan Documents;

 

(iii)          the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or
other right that a Borrower or any other Loan Party may have at any time against
any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for
whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer
or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument
relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

 

(iv)          any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under
such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient
in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document
required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

 

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

 

(vi)          the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing,
value or delivery of any property purported to be represented by documents
presented in connection with any Letter of Credit or any difference between any
such property and the character, quality, quantity, condition, or value of such
property as described in such documents;

 

(vii)         the time, place, manner, order or contents of shipments or
deliveries of property as described in documents presented in connection with
any Letter of Credit or the existence, nature and extent of any insurance
relative thereto;

 

(viii)        the solvency or financial responsibility of any party issuing any
documents in connection with a Letter of Credit;

 

48

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

 

(ix)          any failure or delay in notice of shipments or arrival of any
property;

 

(x)           any error in the transmission of any message relating to a Letter
of Credit not caused by the L/C Issuer, or any delay or interruption in any such
message;

 

(xi)          any error, neglect or default of any correspondent of the L/C
Issuer in connection with a Letter of Credit;

 

(xii)         any consequence arising from acts of God, war, insurrection, civil
unrest, disturbances, labor disputes, emergency conditions or other causes
beyond the control of the L/C Issuer;

 

(xiii)        the form, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any contract or
document referred to in any document submitted to the L/C Issuer in connection
with a Letter of Credit; or

 

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

 

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

 

(f)           Role of L/C Issuer.  The Borrowers and the Lenders agree that, in
paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any
responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates
and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or
inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of
the Person executing or delivering any such document.  Neither the
Administrative Agent nor the L/C Issuer nor any of their respective affiliates,
directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors nor any of the
correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to
any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the
request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as
applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence
or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or
enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or
Letter of Credit Application.  The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts
or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any
Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to,
and shall not, preclude the Borrowers from pursuing such rights and remedies as
it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other
agreement.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor the L/C Issuer nor any of their
respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors nor
any of the correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be
liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through
(xiv) of Section 2.02(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to
the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim

 

49

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

 

against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrowers, to
the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential
or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrowers which are determined by a final,
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from
the L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or the L/C Issuer’s
willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it
by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with
the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on
their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit,
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the
validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits
thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be
invalid or ineffective for any reason.

 

(g)          Cash Collateral.

 

(i)            Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (A) if the L/C
Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of
Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing or (B) if, as of the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain
outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrowers shall immediately
Cash Collateralize the Obligations in an amount equal to 105% of the then
Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations.  The Borrowers hereby grants the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a Lien
on all such cash and deposit account balances described in the definition of
“Cash Collateralize” as security for the Obligations.  The Lien held by the
Administrative Agent in such cash collateral to secure the Obligations shall be
released upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (1) no
Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, (2) all L/C Obligations shall have been
repaid in full and (3) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

 

(ii)           In addition to the provisions set forth in
Section 2.02(a)(ii)(G), if at any time during which one or more Letters of
Credit are outstanding, any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender, then no
later than five (5) Business Days of written demand thereof from the L/C Issuer,
the Borrowers shall provide the Administrative Agent with Cash Collateral or
similar security satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) in
respect of such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund under Section 2.02(c) in
an amount not less than the aggregate amount of such obligations.  The Borrowers
hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer, a
security interest in all such Cash Collateral (and the Cash Collateral described
in Section 2.02(a)(ii)(G)) and all proceeds of the foregoing.  If at any time
the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are
subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent
or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate L/C
Obligations in respect of such Defaulting Lender, the Borrowers will, promptly
upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as
additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the
excess of (x) such aggregate L/C Obligations over (y) the total amount of funds,
if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent determines to
be free and clear of any such right and claim.

 

50

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

 

(iii)          Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked deposit accounts
at Wells Fargo and may be invested in Cash Equivalents reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent.  Such accounts must be subject to control agreements
pursuant to which the Administrative Agent has “control,” as such term is used
in the Uniform Commercial Code, sufficient to perfect on a first priority basis
a security interest in such cash collateral.  Upon the drawing of any for which
funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the
extent permitted under applicable Governmental Rules, to reimburse the L/C
Issuer.

 

(h)           Applicability of ISP and UCP.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed
by the L/C Issuer and the Borrowers when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the
rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute
of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be
in effect at the time of issuance) (the “ISP”) shall apply to each Standby
Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for
Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of
Commerce at the time of issuance (the “UCP”), shall apply to each Commercial
Letter of Credit.

 

(i)            Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrowers shall pay, to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its
Revolving Proportionate Share, a Letter of Credit fee for each such Letter of
Credit for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit until
the expiry thereof, at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR
Loans (plus two percent (2.00%) during such time that the Default Rate is in
effect with respect to the Obligations pursuant to Section 2.07(c) applicable
from time to time during such period multiplied by the actual daily maximum
amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  Such fee for each
Letter of Credit shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last
Business Day of each fiscal quarter, commencing with the first such date to
occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit and on the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date.  Each such fee, when due, shall be fully earned and when paid,
shall be non-refundable.  If there is any change in the Applicable Margin for
LIBOR Loans during any fiscal quarter, the Applicable Margin used for the
calculation of the Letter of Credit fee shall be the Applicable Margin for LIBOR
Loans on each day during such quarter.

 

(j)            Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to
L/C Issuer.  The Borrowers shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own
account the customary issuance, transfer, negotiation, fronting (which fronting
fee shall not exceed 0.125% per annum on the face amount of each Letter of
Credit), presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard
costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time
to time in effect.  Such fees and charges are due and payable on demand and are
nonrefundable.

 

(k)           Conflict with Letter of Credit Application.  In the event of any
conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit
Application, the terms hereof shall control.

 

2.03.       Swing Line.

 

(a)           The Swing Line.  On the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth herein, the Swing Line Lender shall make loans (each such loan, a “Swing
Line Loan”) in Dollars to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day
during the period from the

 

51

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

 

Closing Date up to but not including the Maturity Date in an aggregate amount
not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit,
notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the
Effective Amount of Revolving Loans of the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as
a Lender of Revolving Loans, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving
Loan Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line
Loan, (i) the aggregate Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans, Swing Line
Loans and L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Total Available Commitment at
such time, and (ii) the aggregate Effective Amount of the Revolving Loans of any
Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender), plus such Lender’s Revolving
Proportionate Share of the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such
Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the Effective Amount of all Swing Line
Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the Total
Available Commitment, and provided, further, that (x) the Swing Line Lender
shall not make any Swing Line Loan to refinance an outstanding Swing Line Loan
and (y) the Borrowers shall be entitled to no more than five (5) Swing Line
Loans in any month.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms
and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.03, prepay
under Section 2.06, and reborrow under this Section 2.03.  Each Swing Line Loan
shall be a Base Rate Loan.  Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan,
each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such
Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Revolving
Proportionate Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.  Furthermore,
before making any Swing Line Loans (if at such time any Lender is a Defaulting
Lender), the Swing Line Lender may condition the provision of such Swing Line
Loans on its receipt of Cash Collateral or similar security satisfactory to the
Swing Line Lender (in its sole discretion) from the Borrowers in respect of such
Defaulting Lender’s risk participation in such Swing Line Loans as set forth
below.  The Borrowers hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit
of the Swing Line Lender, a security interest in all such Cash Collateral and
all proceeds of the foregoing.  Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked,
deposit accounts at Wells Fargo and may be invested in Cash Equivalents
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.  Such accounts must be
subject to control agreements pursuant to which the Administrative Agent has
“control,” as such term is used in the Uniform Commercial Code, sufficient to
perfect on a first priority basis a security interest in such cash collateral. 
If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash
Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the
Administrative Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less than the
aggregate risk participation of such Defaulting Lender in the relevant Swing
Line Loan, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent,
pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash
Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate risk
participation over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash
Collateral that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any
such right and claim.  At such times there are Swing Ling Loans outstanding for
which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied as
and when determined by the Swing Line Lender, to the extent permitted under
applicable Governmental Approvals, to reimburse and otherwise pay the applicable
obligations owing to the Swing Line Lender.

 

(b)           Borrowing Procedures.  Each Swing Loan Borrowing shall be
requested pursuant to the Borrowers’ irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender
and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone.  Each such notice
must be received by the Swing Line

 

52

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

 

Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., on the requested
borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which amount
shall be a minimum amount of $50,000 or an integral multiple of $10,000 in
excess thereof and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business
Day.  Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by the delivery
to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Notice of
Swing Loan Borrowing, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Borrowers, which notice may be delivered by facsimile or e-mail. 
Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Notice of
Swing Loan Borrowing, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative
Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also
received such Notice of Swing Loan Borrowing and, if not, the Swing Line Lender
will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the
contents thereof.  Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by
telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request
of any Lender) prior to 1:00 p.m., on the date of the proposed Swing Loan
Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan
as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first
sentence of Section 2.03(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable
conditions specified in Section 3.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than
2:00 p.m., on the borrowing date specified in such Notice of Swing Loan
Borrowing, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrowers by
crediting the account of the Borrowers on the books of the Swing Line Lender in
immediately available funds.

 

(c)          Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

 

(i)            The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute
discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably
requests the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf), under this subsection (c),
that each Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s
Revolving Proportionate Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then
outstanding.  Such request shall be made in accordance with the requirements of
Section 2.01, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for
the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion
of the Total Available Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 3.02. 
The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrowers with a copy of the applicable
Notice of Loan Borrowing for Revolving Loans promptly after delivering such
notice to the Administrative Agent.  Each Lender shall make an amount equal to
its Revolving Proportionate Share of the amount specified in such Notice of Loan
Borrowing for Revolving Loans available to the Administrative Agent in
immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the
Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 12:00 noon, on the day specified in
such Notice of Loan Borrowing for Revolving Loans, whereupon, subject to
Section 2.03(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed
to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers in such amount.  The
Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

 

(ii)           If for any reason any Revolving Loan Borrowing cannot be
requested in accordance with Section 2.03(c)(i) or any Swing Line Loan cannot be
refinanced by such a Revolving Loan Borrowing, the Notice of Loan Borrowing for
Revolving Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to be a
request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its participation
in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s

 

53

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

 

payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender
pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such
participation.

 

(iii)          If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such
Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time
specified in Section 2.03(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to
recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand,
such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is
required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing
Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate.  A
certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause
(iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(iv)          Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase
and fund participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.03(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by
any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense
or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the
Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or
continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event
or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.  Any such purchase
of participations shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the
Borrowers to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

 

(d)          Repayment of Participations.

 

(i)            At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a
participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any
payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will
distribute to such Lender its Revolving Proportionate Share of such payment
(appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period
of time during which such Lender’s participation was outstanding and funded) in
the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

 

(ii)           If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of
principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the
Swing Line Lender, each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Revolving
Proportionate Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest
thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a
rate per annum equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate.  The Administrative Agent
will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.

 

(e)           Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender.  Each Swing Line Loan
shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the
applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the
Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans.  The Swing Line Lender shall be
responsible for invoicing the Borrowers for interest on the Swing Line Loans. 
Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or participation pursuant to this
Section 2.03 to refinance such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of any
Swing Line Loan, interest

 

54

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

 

in respect of such Revolving Proportionate Share shall be solely for the account
of the Swing Line Lender.  The Borrowers shall pay accrued interest on the
unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line Loan on the last Business Day of each
fiscal quarter and at maturity.

 

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

 

2.04.       Amount Limitations, Commitment Reductions, Etc.

 

(a)          Optional Reduction or Cancellation of Revolving Loan Commitments. 
From and after the Acquisition Closing Date, the Borrowers may, upon three
(3) Business Days written notice to the Administrative Agent (each a “Reduction
Notice”), permanently reduce the Total Revolving Loan Commitment by the amount
of $500,000 or an integral multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof or cancel the
Total Revolving Loan Commitment in its entirety; provided, however, that:

 

(i)            The Borrowers may not reduce the Total Revolving Loan Commitment
prior to the Maturity Date, if, after giving effect to such reduction, the
Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans, L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans
then outstanding would exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as so reduced;
and

 

(ii)           The Borrowers may not cancel the Total Revolving Loan Commitment
prior to the Maturity Date, if, after giving effect to such cancellation, any
Revolving Loan would then remain outstanding.

 

Any Reduction Notice shall be irrevocable; provided that any Reduction Notice
may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit
facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers (by
written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified
effective date previously provided in the applicable Reduction Notice) if such
condition is not satisfied.

 

(b)          Scheduled and Mandatory Reductions of Revolving Loan Commitments.

 

(i)            The aggregate amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall
be automatically and permanently reduced on the Reduction Date occurring on the
first fiscal quarter ending after the one year anniversary of the Acquisition
Closing Date and on each Reduction Date thereafter by an amount equal to
(i) 1.5% multiplied by the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as of the Closing
Date plus (ii) the Aggregate Additional Commitment Reduction Amount as in effect
on such Reduction Date (each, a “Reduction Amount”).  The Total Revolving Loan
Commitment shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the
Maturity Date.  In the case of any reduction in the amount of the Total
Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 2.04(a), such reduction shall be
applied to the Reduction Amount(s) on the next scheduled Reduction Date(s) until
the full amount of such reduction is so applied.  In the case of any other
reduction in the amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (including
pursuant to clause (ii) below), the amounts determined by reference to this
Section 2.04(b)(i) shall not be affected and shall be in addition to the
scheduled reductions pursuant to this Section 2.04(b)(i).

(ii)           The Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall be automatically and
permanently reduced by an amount equal to the maximum amount that would be
required to be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans pursuant
to Section 2.06(c)(iii)-(vi) if the Effective Amount of the Revolving Loans was
then equal to the amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (but without
regard to the actual usage of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment), such
reduction to be effective on the date of the required prepayment; provided that
if equity proceeds are received under Section 2.06(c)(v) for an Investment for
which the Collateral related thereto is pledged to the Administrative Agent
within ninety (90) days of the receipt of such proceeds, then there shall be no
reduction in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment in connection therewith.

 

(c)           Effect of Revolving Loan Commitment Adjustments.  From the
effective date of any reduction or increase of the Total Revolving Loan
Commitment, the Commitment Fees payable pursuant to Section 2.05(c) shall be
computed on the basis of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as so reduced or
increased.  Once reduced or cancelled, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment may
not be increased or reinstated without the prior written consent of all Lenders
(except as permitted under Section 2.01(b)).  Any reduction of the Total
Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 2.04(a) shall be applied ratably
to reduce each Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment in accordance with clause
(i) of Section 2.10(a).

 

2.05.       Fees.

 

(a)           Fees.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the
Lead Arranger, for their own account, agent’s fees and other compensation in the
amounts and at the times set forth in the Fee Letter (subject to clause
(b) below) and any fees set forth in any fee letter or agreement executed in
connection with any increase under Section 2.01(b).

 

(b)           Ticking Fee.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent,
for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a ticking fee at a rate per annum of
(i) 0.50% multiplied by (ii) the difference between the Total Revolving Loan
Commitment and the Total Available Commitment (the “Ticking Fee”) accruing from
and after the Closing Date until the earlier of (i) the Acquisition Closing Date
and (ii) the date the Acquisition Agreement has been terminated in accordance
with its terms.  The Borrowers shall pay the Ticking Fee in arrears on the last
Business Day in each fiscal quarter (commencing with the first fiscal quarter
ending after the Closing Date) and on the Acquisition Closing Date (or if the
Total Revolving Commitment is cancelled on a date prior to the Acquisition
Closing Date, on such prior date).  This Section 2.05(b) amends and restates in
its entirety Section 4 of the Fee Letter.

 

(c)           Commitment Fee.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender
with respect to the period during which it is a Defaulting Lender) as provided
in clause (iv) of Section 2.10(a), a commitment fee (collectively, the
“Commitment Fee”) equal to the Commitment Fee Percentage multiplied by the daily
average Unused Revolving Commitment for the period beginning on the Closing Date
and ending on the Maturity Date.  The Borrowers shall pay the Commitment Fee in
arrears on the last Business Day in each fiscal quarter (commencing with the
first full fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date) and on the Maturity
Date (or if the Total Revolving Commitment is cancelled on a date prior to the
Maturity Date, on such prior date).

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

 

2.06.       Prepayments.

 

(a)           Terms of All Prepayments.  Upon the prepayment of any Loan
(whether such prepayment is an optional prepayment under Section 2.06(b), a
mandatory prepayment required by Section 2.06(c) or a mandatory prepayment
required by any other provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents,
including a prepayment upon acceleration), the Borrowers shall pay (i) if a
LIBOR Loan is being prepaid under Section 2.06(b) or Section 2.06(c), to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender that made such LIBOR Loan all
accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid, (ii) if a
prepayment is made upon acceleration, to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Lender that made such Loan all accrued interest and fees to the
date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid and (iii) to such Lender if such
prepayment is the prepayment of a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of
an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan, all amounts payable to such Lender
pursuant to Section 2.13.

 

(b)           Optional Prepayments.

 

(i)            At its option, the Borrowers may, without premium or penalty but
subject to Section 2.13 in the case of LIBOR Loans, upon one (1) Business Day’s
notice from the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent in the case of Base Rate
Loans or three (3) Business Days’ notice from the Borrowers to the
Administrative Agent in the case of LIBOR Loans, prepay the Loans in any
Borrowing and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon in part, in a minimum
principal amount of $50,000 or an integral multiple of $10,000 in excess
thereof, or in whole.  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of
such prepayment; provided that if such prepayment is on any day other than on
the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan, the Borrowers
shall be subject to the payments required by Section 2.13.  If such notice is
given by the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment
amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified
therein.  If no Default has occurred and is continuing, all prepayments under
this Section 2.06(b) which are applied to reduce the principal amount of the
Loans shall be applied to the Loans as directed by the Borrowers.  If the
Borrowers fail to direct the application of any such prepayments, then such
prepayments shall be applied first to the accrued but unpaid interest on and
then any principal of the Swing Line Loans until paid in full, second to the
accrued but unpaid interest on and then any principal of the Revolving Loans
until paid in full, and finally to Cash Collateralize the Obligations in an
amount equal to the Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations.  In each case, to
the extent possible, such principal payment shall be first applied to prepay
Base Rate Loans and then if any funds remain, to prepay LIBOR Loans; provided
that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time any such
prepayment is made, the Lenders shall apply such prepayments to such Obligations
as the Administrative Agent may determine in its discretion which determination
shall be effective as to all Lenders (but for regulatory purposes, the Lenders
may apply such payments internally as they shall determine).

 

(ii)           At its option, the Borrowers may, upon notice by the Borrowers to
the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or
from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part
without premium or penalty; provided, that (A) such notice must be received by
the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on
the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such

 

57

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

 

prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $50,000 or an integral
multiple of $10,000 in excess thereof.  Each such notice shall specify the date
and amount of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by the Borrowers, the
Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such
notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

 

(c)          Mandatory Prepayments.  The Borrowers shall prepay (or Cash
Collateralize, as applicable) the Obligations as follows:

 

(i)            If, at any time, the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans,
Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding exceeds the Total
Available Commitment at such time, the Borrowers shall immediately (A) prepay
the Swing Line Loans to the extent Swing Line Loans in a sufficient amount are
then outstanding, (B) then prepay the Revolving Loans to the extent Revolving
Loans in a sufficient amount are then outstanding and (C) otherwise, Cash
Collateralize the Obligations in an amount equal to the then Effective Amount of
the L/C Obligations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess.

 

(ii)           The Borrowers shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to
occur of (A) the second Swing Line Settlement Date occurring after such Swing
Line Loan is made and (B) the Maturity Date.

 

(iii)          If, at any time after the Closing Date, any Loan Party sells or
otherwise disposes of any assets (other than sales permitted under
Section 5.02(c) (excluding clause (iii) thereof)) and the Net Proceeds of such
sale or other disposition, when added to the Net Proceeds of all such sales or
dispositions by the Loan Parties during the term of this Agreement, in the
aggregate, exceed $2,500,000, the Borrowers shall, not later than five
(5) Business Days after the completion of each such sale or other disposition
which results in such excess or an increase in such excess, prepay (or Cash
Collateralize, as applicable) the outstanding Loans and other Obligations in the
manner set forth in Section 2.06(d), in each case, in an aggregate principal
amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Proceeds of such excess or
increase in such excess.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not
be required to make a prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.06(c)(iv) with
respect to any sale or other disposition (a “Relevant Sale”) if the Borrowers
advise the Administrative Agent in writing within four (4) Business Days after
the time the Net Proceeds from such Relevant Sale are received that the
applicable Loan Party intends to reinvest all or any portion of such Net
Proceeds in replacement assets to the extent the acquisition of such replacement
assets occurs within 180 days from the date of such Relevant Sale.  If, at any
time after the occurrence of a Relevant Sale and prior to the acquisition of the
related replacement assets, the 180-day period provided in the preceding
sentence shall elapse or an Event of Default shall occur, then the Borrowers
shall immediately prepay (or Cash Collateralize, as applicable), the outstanding
Loans and other Obligations in the amount and in the manner described in the
first sentence of this Section 2.06(c)(iii).

 

(iv)        Reserved.

 

(v)         If, at any time after the Closing Date, any Loan Party issues or
sells any Equity Securities or receives any capital contribution from any other
Person, the

 

58

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

 

Borrowers shall, immediately after such issuance or sale, prepay (or Cash
Collateralize, as applicable) the outstanding Loans and other Obligations in the
manner set forth in Section 2.06(d), in each case, in an aggregate principal
amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Net Proceeds of such Equity
Securities.

 

(vi)        Not later than five (5) Business Days after the date (the “Receipt
Date”) of receipt by a Loan Party (or the Administrative Agent) of any Net
Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds which exceed $2,000,000 in
connection with a particular circumstance or event, the Borrowers shall prepay
(or Cash Collateralize, as applicable) the outstanding Loans and other
Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 2.06(d) in an amount equal to
such Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be required to make a prepayment pursuant to
this Section 2.06(c)(vi) with respect to any particular Net Insurance Proceeds
or Net Condemnation Proceeds if (A) the Borrowers advise the Administrative
Agent in writing within four (4) Business Days after the related Receipt Date
that it or another Loan Party intends to repair, restore or replace the assets
from which such Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds were derived
to the extent such repair, restoration or replacement is completed within 180
days after the related Receipt Date and (B) the Net Insurance Proceeds or Net
Condemnation Proceeds are sufficient to defray the entire cost of such repair,
restoration or replacement or if not, the Borrowers have deposited with the
Administrative Agent good funds equal to the difference between the cost of such
repair, restoration or replacement and the amount of Net Insurance Proceeds or
Net Condemnation Proceeds deposited with the Administrative Agent, and such
funds and proceeds will be held by the Administrative Agent and disbursed under
procedures established by the Administrative Agent in good faith.  If, at any
time after the occurrence of a Receipt Date and prior to the completion of the
corresponding repair, restoration or replacement, the applicable 180-day period
provided in the preceding sentence shall elapse without the completion of the
related repair, restoration or replacement, or the Borrowers shall fail to
provide and deposit the funds and proceeds required under clause (B) above, or
an Event of Default shall occur, then the Borrowers shall immediately prepay (or
Cash Collateralize, as applicable) the outstanding Loans and other Obligations
in the amount and in the manner described in the first sentence of this
Section 2.06(c)(vi).  If the Borrowers have provided the written notice
contemplated by the prior sentence, then until such Net Insurance Proceeds or
Net Condemnation Proceeds are needed to pay for the related repair, restoration
or replacement such proceeds shall be held by the Administrative Agent as
Collateral in an interest bearing account with the Administrative Agent as
directed by the Borrowers.  No right to apply proceeds to repair, restoration or
replacement shall exist if any such repair, restoration or replacement cannot
reasonably be completed prior to 180 days before the Maturity Date.

 

(vii)       The Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time
of each prepayment (or Cash Collateralization, as applicable) required under
this Section 2.06(c), (A) a certificate signed by the chief financial officer of
the Borrowers setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount
of such prepayment and (B) to the extent practicable, at least three days prior
written notice of such prepayment (or Cash Collateralization, as applicable). 
Each notice of prepayment (or Cash Collateralization, as applicable) shall
specify the prepayment (or Cash Collateralization, as applicable) date and the
Type and principal amount of each Loan to be prepaid.  In the event that the
Borrowers shall subsequently determine that the

 

59

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

 

actual amount was greater than the amount set forth in such certificate, the
Borrowers shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans (and/or, if
applicable, the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be permanently reduced) in an
amount equal to the amount of such excess, and the Borrowers shall concurrently
therewith deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by the chief
financial officer of the Borrowers demonstrating the derivation of the
additional amount resulting in such excess.

 

(d)       Application of Loan Prepayments.  All prepayments required under
Sections 2.06(c)(iii)-(vi) shall be applied:  (A) first, to prepay the Swing
Line Loans to the extent Swing Line Loans are then outstanding, (B) then to
prepay the Revolving Loans to the extent Revolving Loans are then outstanding
and (C) then to Cash Collateralize the Obligations in an amount equal to the
then Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations.  Without modifying the order of
application of prepayments set forth in the preceding sentence, all such
prepayments shall, to the extent possible, be first applied to prepay Base Rate
Loans and then if any funds remain, to prepay LIBOR Loans.

 

2.07.       Other Payment Terms.

 

(a)           Place and Manner.  All payments to be made by the Borrowers under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made without condition or
deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  The Borrowers
shall make all payments due to each Lender or the Administrative Agent under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document by payments to the Administrative
Agent at the Administrative Agent’s office located at the address specified in
Section 8.01, with each payment due to a Lender to be for the account of such
Lender and such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office.  The Borrowers shall make
all payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in Dollars in same
day or immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon on the date due. 
The Administrative Agent shall promptly disburse to each Lender each payment
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender.

 

(b)           Date.  Whenever any payment due hereunder shall fall due on a day
other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of
interest or fees, as the case may be.

 

(c)           Default Rate.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of
any Event of Default other than an Event of Default described in
Section 6.01(a), (f) or (g), at the option of the Required Lenders, from and
after the date of such Event of Default (or such later date designated by the
Required Lenders) until the time when such Event of Default shall have been
cured or waived in writing by the Required Lenders or all the Lenders (as may be
required by this Agreement), the Borrowers shall pay interest on the aggregate,
outstanding amount of all Obligations hereunder at a per annum rate equal to the
otherwise applicable interest rate plus two percent (2.00%) or, if no such per
annum rate is applicable to any such Obligations, at a per annum rate equal to
the Base Rate, plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans, plus two percent
(2.00%) (the “Default Rate”) payable on demand.  Upon the occurrence and during
the continuation of an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a), (f) or
(g) until the time when such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived in
writing by the Required Lenders or all

 

60

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

 

the Lenders (as may be required by this Agreement), the Borrowers shall pay
interest on the aggregate, outstanding amount of all Obligations hereunder at a
per annum rate equal to the Default Rate (such Default Rate becoming effective
on such date of occurrence of such Event of Default without notice and shall be
immediately due and payable without notice or demand).  Overdue interest shall
itself bear interest at the Default Rate, and shall be compounded with the
principal Obligations daily, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Governmental Rules.

 

(d)           Application of Payments.  All payments hereunder shall be applied
first to unpaid fees, costs and expenses then due and payable under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, second to accrued interest then due and
payable under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and finally to reduce
the principal amount of outstanding Loans and L/C Borrowings.  The proceeds of
the Collateral will be applied as set forth in Section 6.02.

 

(e)           Failure to Pay the Administrative Agent.  Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers at least one
(1) Business Day prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders
hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment in full, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that the Borrowers have made or
will make such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be paid to
the Lenders on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such
Lenders.  If and to the extent the Borrowers shall not have so made such payment
in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender shall repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is
distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the
Administrative Agent, at a per annum rate equal to the daily Federal Funds
Rate.  A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with
respect to any amount owing by such Lender under this Section 2.07(e) shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

 

2.08.       Loan Accounts; Notes.

 

(a)           Loan Accounts.  The obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans
made to it by each Lender and to pay interest thereon at the rates provided
herein shall be evidenced by an account or accounts maintained by such Lender on
its books (individually, a “Loan Account”), except that any Lender may request
that its Loans be evidenced by a note or notes pursuant to Section 2.08(b) and
Section 2.08(c).  Each Lender shall record in its Loan Accounts (i) the date and
amount of each Loan made by such Lender, (ii) the interest rates applicable to
each such Loan and the effective dates of all changes thereto, (iii) the
Interest Period for each LIBOR Loan, (iv) the date and amount of each principal
and interest payment on each Loan and (v) such other information as such Lender
may determine is necessary for the computation of principal and interest payable
to it by the Borrowers hereunder; provided, however, that any failure by a
Lender to make, or any error by any Lender in making, any such notation shall
not affect the Borrowers’ Obligations.  The Loan Accounts shall be conclusive
absent manifest error as to the matters noted therein.  In addition to the Loan
Accounts, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance
with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales
by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans.  In
the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by

 

61

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

 

the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect
of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall
control.

 

(b)           Revolving Loan Notes.  Each Lender’s Revolving Loans shall be
evidenced by a promissory note in the form of Exhibit E (individually, a
“Revolving Loan Note”) which note shall be (i) payable to the order of such
Lender, (ii) in the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment,
(iii) dated the Closing Date and (iv) otherwise appropriately completed.  The
Borrowers authorize each Lender to record on the schedule annexed to such
Lender’s Revolving Loan Note the date and amount of each Revolving Loan made by
such Lender and of each payment or prepayment of principal thereon made by the
Borrowers, and agrees that all such notations shall be conclusive absent
manifest error with respect to the matters noted; provided, however, that any
failure by a Lender to make, or any error by any Lender in making, any such
notation shall not affect the Borrowers’ Obligations.  The Borrowers further
authorize each Lender to attach to and make a part of such Lender’s Revolving
Loan Note continuations of the schedule attached thereto as necessary.  If,
because any Lender designates separate Applicable Lending Offices for Base Rate
Loans and LIBOR Loans, such Lender requests that separate promissory notes be
executed to evidence separately such Revolving Loans, then each such note shall
be in the form of Exhibit E, mutatis mutandis to reflect such division, and
shall be (w) payable to the order of such Lender, (x) in the amount of such
Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment, (y) dated the Closing Date and (z) otherwise
appropriately completed.  Such notes shall, collectively, constitute a Revolving
Loan Note.

 

(c)           Swing Loan Notes.  The Swing Line Lender’s Swing Line Loans shall
be evidenced by a promissory note in the form of Exhibit F (individually, a
“Swing Loan Note”) which note shall be (i) payable to the order of the Swing
Line Lender, (ii) in the amount of the Swing Line Lender’s Swing Line Loans,
(iii) dated the Closing Date and (iv) otherwise appropriately completed.

 

2.09.       Loan Funding.

 

(a)           Lender Funding and Disbursement to the Borrowers.  Each Lender
shall, before 11:00 a.m. on the date of each Borrowing, make available to the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in
Section 8.01, in same day or immediately available funds, such Lender’s
Revolving Proportionate Share of such Borrowing.  After the Administrative
Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions
set forth in Section 3.02 (and, (x) if such Borrowing is the initial Loan or
Letter of Credit, Section 3.01 or (y) if such Borrowing is to fund any portion
of the Acquisition, Section 3.03), the Administrative Agent shall promptly make
all funds so received available to the Borrowers in like funds as received by
the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the joint account of the
Borrowers maintained by the Borrowers on the books of Wells Fargo with the
amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in
accordance with instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the
Borrowers; provided, however, that if, on the date of the Borrowing there are
Swing Line Loans and/or L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such
Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such L/C
Borrowings, second, to the payment in full of any such Swing Line Loans, and
third, to the Borrowers as provided above.

 

62

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

 

(b)           Lender Failure to Fund.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall
have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such
Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s
Revolving Proportionate Share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall
be entitled to assume that such Lender has made or will make such portion
available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in
accordance with Section 2.09(a), and the Administrative Agent may on such date,
in reliance upon such assumption, disburse or otherwise credit to the Borrowers
a corresponding amount.  If any Lender does not make the amount of such Lender’s
Revolving Proportionate Share of any Borrowing available to the Administrative
Agent on or prior to the date of such Borrowing, such Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent, on demand, interest which shall accrue on such amount from
the date of such Borrowing until such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent
at per annum rates equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate.  A certificate of the
Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amount owing by
such Lender under this Section 2.09(b) shall be conclusive absent manifest error
with respect to such amount.  If the amount of any Lender’s Revolving
Proportionate Share of any Borrowing is not paid to the Administrative Agent by
such Lender within three (3) Business Days after the date of such Borrowing, the
Borrowers shall repay such amount to the Administrative Agent, on demand,
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was
disbursed to the Borrowers until the date such amount is repaid to the
Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans
comprising such Borrowing.

 

(c)           Lenders’ Obligations Several.  The failure of any Lender to make
the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing or to fund participations in
Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be funded by it shall not relieve any
other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Loan as part of such
Borrowing or fund its participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans,
but no Lender shall be obligated in any way to make any Loan or fund any
participation in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans which another Lender has
failed or refused to make or otherwise be in any way responsible for the failure
or refusal of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such
other Lender on the date of any Borrowing or to fund any participation required
to be funded by such other Lender.

 

2.10.       Pro Rata Treatment.

 

(a)          Borrowings, Commitment Reductions, Etc.  Except as otherwise
provided herein:

 

(i)            Each Revolving Borrowing and reduction of the Total Revolving
Loan Commitment shall be made or shared among the Lenders pro rata according to
their respective Revolving Proportionate Shares;

 

(ii)           Each payment of principal on Loans in any Borrowing shall be
shared among the Lenders which made or funded the Loans in such Borrowing pro
rata according to the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans then
owed to such Lenders;

 

(iii)          Each payment of interest on Loans in any Borrowing shall be
shared among the Lenders which made or funded the Loans in such Borrowing pro
rata

 

63

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

 

according to (A) the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans so made
or funded by such Lenders and (B) the dates on which such Lenders so made or
funded such Loans;

 

(iv)          Each payment of Commitment Fees payable under Section 2.05(c) and
Letter of Credit fees payable under Section 2.02(i) shall be shared among the
Lenders with Revolving Loan Commitments (except for Defaulting Lenders) pro rata
according to (A) their respective Revolving Proportionate Shares and (B) in the
case of each Lender which becomes a Lender hereunder after the date hereof, the
date upon which such Lender so became a Lender;

 

(v)           Each payment of interest (other than interest on Loans) shall be
shared among the Lenders and the Administrative Agent owed the amount upon which
such interest accrues pro rata according to (A) the respective amounts so owed
such Lenders and the Administrative Agent and (B) the dates on which such
amounts became owing to such Lenders and the Administrative Agent; and

 

(vi)          All other payments under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents (including, without limitation, fees paid in connection with any
amendment, consent, waiver or the like) shall be for the benefit of the Person
or Persons specified and entitled to payment.

 

(b)          Sharing of Payments, Etc.  If any Lender shall obtain any payment
(whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or
otherwise) on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C
Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it, in excess of its ratable share of
payments on account of the Loans and the L/C Obligations obtained by all Lenders
entitled to such payments, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other
Lenders such participations in the Loans and/or participations in L/C
Obligations or in Swing Line Loans as shall be necessary to cause such
purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them;
provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is
thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase shall be
rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the
purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to
such other Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount
of such other Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered
from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by
the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.  The
Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another
Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) may, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with
respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct
creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 2.10(b) shall not be
construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in
accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained
by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in
any of its Loans or participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans to
any assignee or participant.

2.11.       Change of Circumstances.

 

(a)           Inability to Determine Rates.  If, on or before the first day of
any Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan, (i) any Lender shall advise the
Administrative Agent that the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period cannot be
adequately and reasonably determined due to the unavailability of funds in or
other circumstances affecting the London interbank market or (ii) any Lender
shall advise the Administrative Agent that the rate of interest for such Loan
does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining such LIBOR Loan, the Administrative Agent shall immediately give
notice of such condition to the Borrowers and the other Lenders.  After the
giving of any such notice and until the Administrative Agent shall otherwise
notify the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such condition no
longer exist, the Borrowers’ right to request the making of, conversion to or a
new Interest Period for LIBOR Loans shall be suspended.  Any LIBOR Loans
outstanding at the commencement of any such suspension shall be converted at the
end of the then current Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans into Base Rate
Loans, unless such suspension has then ended.

 

(b)           Illegality.  If, after the Original Closing Date, the adoption of
any Governmental Rule, any change in any Governmental Rule or the application or
requirements thereof (whether such change occurs in accordance with the terms of
such Governmental Rule as enacted, as a result of amendment or otherwise), any
change in the interpretation or administration of any Governmental Rule by any
Governmental Authority, or compliance by any Lender with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority
(a “Change of Law”) shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make
or maintain any LIBOR Loan, such Lender shall immediately notify the
Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in writing of such Change of Law.  Upon
receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrowers’ right to request the making of,
conversion to or a new Interest Period for LIBOR Loans with respect to such
Lender shall be terminated, and (ii) the Borrowers shall, at the request of such
Lender, either (A) pursuant to Section 2.01(e), as the case may be, convert any
such then outstanding LIBOR Loans of such Lender into Base Rate Loans at the end
of the current Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans or (B) immediately repay or
convert any such LIBOR Loans of such Lender if such Lender shall notify the
Borrowers that such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such
LIBOR Loans.  Any conversion or prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to the
preceding sentence prior to the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR
Loans shall not be deemed a prepayment thereof for purposes of Section 2.13. 
After any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers of such a
Change of Law and until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the
Borrowers that it is no longer unlawful or impossible for such Lender to make or
maintain a LIBOR Loan, all Revolving Loans of such Lender shall be Base Rate
Loans.  For purposes of this Section 2.11(b): (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines,
interpretations, policies or directives in connection therewith are deemed to
have gone into effect and adopted after the Original Closing Date; and (y) all
requests, rules, guidelines, interpretations, policies or directives promulgated
by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States
regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case
be deemed to be an introduction after the Original Closing Date, regardless of
the date enacted, adopted or issued.

 

(c)           Increased Costs.  If, after the Original Closing Date, any Change
of Law:

 

65

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

 

(i)            Shall subject any Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with
respect to any LIBOR Loan or Letter of Credit, or shall change the basis of
taxation of payments by the Borrowers to any Lender under this Agreement (except
for changes in the rate of taxation on the overall net income of any Lender
imposed by its jurisdiction of incorporation or the jurisdiction in which its
principal executive office is located); or

 

(ii)           Shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve (excluding
any Reserve Requirement or other reserve to the extent included in the
calculation of the LIBOR Rate for any Loans), special deposit or similar
requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the
account of, advances or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds by any
Lender for any LIBOR Loan; or

 

(iii)          Shall impose on any Lender any other condition related to any
LIBOR Loan or such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment;

 

and the effect of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of
making, renewing, or maintaining any such LIBOR Loan or its Revolving Loan
Commitment or to reduce any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder; then the
Borrowers shall from time to time, within five (5) Business Days after written
demand by such Lender, pay to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to
reimburse such Lender for such increased costs or to compensate such Lender for
such reduced amounts.  A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the
amount of such increased costs or reduced amounts, submitted by such Lender to
the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The obligations of the
Borrowers under this Section 2.11(c) shall survive the payment and performance
of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.  For purposes of this
Section 2.11(c): (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, interpretations, policies or directives
in connection therewith are deemed to have gone into effect and adopted after
the Original Closing Date; and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines,
interpretations, policies or directives promulgated by the Bank for
International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any
successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in
each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be an
introduction after the Original Closing Date, regardless of the date enacted,
adopted or issued.

 

(d)           Capital Requirements.  If, after the Original Closing Date, any
Lender determines that (i) any Change of Law affects the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any Person controlling
such Lender (a “Capital Adequacy Requirement”) and (ii) the amount of capital
maintained by such Lender or such Person which is attributable to or based upon
the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Loan Commitments or this
Agreement must be increased as a result of such Capital Adequacy Requirement
(taking into account such Lender’s or such Person’s policies with respect to
capital adequacy), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or such Person, within
five (5) Business Days after written demand of such Lender, such amounts as such
Lender or such Person shall determine are necessary to compensate such Lender or
such Person for the increased costs to such Lender or such Person of such
increased capital.  A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount
of such increased costs, submitted by any Lender to the Borrowers shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.  The obligations of the Borrowers under this
Section 2.11(d) shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and
the termination of this Agreement.  For

 

66

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

 

purposes of this Section 2.11(d): (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, interpretations,
policies or directives in connection therewith are deemed to have gone into
effect and adopted after the Original Closing Date; and (y) all requests, rules,
guidelines, interpretations, policies or directives promulgated by the Bank for
International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any
successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in
each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be an
introduction after the Original Closing Date, regardless of the date enacted,
adopted or issued.

 

2.12.       Taxes on Payments.

 

(a)           Payments Free of Taxes.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Section 2.12, all payments by the Borrowers under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for,
any and all present or future federal, state, local and foreign taxes, levies,
imposts, duties, deductions, fees, assessments, withholdings, or other charges
of whatever nature and all interest, penalties and other liabilities with
respect thereto, including withholding taxes imposed by any jurisdiction or any
political subdivision thereof, but excluding (except as provided in the second
succeeding sentence) taxes imposed on a Lender’s overall net income and
franchise taxes imposed on such Lender, in each case, by the jurisdiction of
such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof
(all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, fees,
assessments, withholdings, or other charges of whatever nature and all interest,
penalties and other liabilities being referred to herein as “Indemnifiable
Taxes”).  If Indemnifiable Taxes are imposed in respect of any sum payable
hereunder to any Lender, then (i) subject to the penultimate sentence of
Section 2.12(e), the sum payable shall be increased by the amount necessary so
that after making all required deductions such Lender shall receive an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) the Borrowers shall make all required deductions and (iii) the Borrowers
shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.  If any amounts are
payable in respect of Indemnifiable Taxes pursuant to the preceding sentence,
then the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to reimburse each Lender, upon
the written request of such Lender, for Taxes imposed on or measured by the net
income of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which the
Applicable Lending Office of such Lender is located or under the laws of any
political subdivision or taxing authority of any such jurisdiction in which the
Applicable Lending Office of such Lender is located and for any withholding of
Taxes as such Lender shall determine are payable by, or withheld from, such
Lender in respect of such amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Lender
pursuant to the preceding sentence and in respect of any amounts paid to or on
behalf of such Lender pursuant to this sentence.

 

(b)           Other Taxes.  In addition, the Borrowers jointly and severally
agree to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any excise,
transfer, sales and use, value added or property taxes, charges or similar
levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or in respect of the property
encumbered by the Real Property Security Documents or from the execution,
delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

 

67

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

 

(c)           Tax Indemnification.  Subject to the penultimate sentence of
Section 2.12(e), the Borrowers agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and
each Lender for the full amount of all Indemnifiable Taxes and Other Taxes
(including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts
payable under this Section 2.12) paid by such Lender, and any liability
(including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally
asserted.  Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days following the date
the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes written demand therefor.

 

(d)           Evidence of Payment.  Within 30 days after the date of any payment
of Taxes or Other Taxes withheld hereunder (and, with respect to any Taxes or
Other Taxes not so withheld, to the extent available), the Borrowers will
furnish to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s Office, the
original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

 

(e)           Withholding Exemption Certificates.  On or prior to the date of
the initial Loans or, if such date does not occur within thirty (30) days after
the date of this Agreement, by the end of such 30-day period, each Lender which
is not organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof shall
deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (A) two duly completed
copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or
successor applicable form), as the case may be, certifying in each case that
such Lender is entitled to receive payments of interest under this Agreement
without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, or
(B) if the Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of
the IRC and cannot deliver either United States Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI (with respect to a complete exemption under an income
tax treaty) pursuant to clause (A) above (any such lender, a “Non-Bank Lender”),
(x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J (any such certificate,
a “Non-Bank Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed
copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to
the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such
Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States
withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this
Agreement.  Each such Lender further agrees (i) promptly to notify the Borrowers
and the Administrative Agent of any change of circumstances which would prevent
such Lender from receiving payments hereunder without any deduction or
withholding of Indemnifiable Taxes and (ii) if such Lender has not so notified
the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of any change of circumstances which
would prevent such Lender from receiving payments hereunder without any
deduction or withholding of Indemnifiable Taxes, then on or before the date that
any certificate or other form delivered by such Lender under this
Section 2.12(e) expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event
requiring a change in the most recent such certificate or form previously
delivered by such Lender, to deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative
Agent a new certificate or form, certifying that such Lender is entitled to
receive payments under this Agreement without deduction of Indemnifiable Taxes,
but only if and to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do so.  If a
Lender (other than an assignee pursuant to a request by the Borrowers under
Section 2.15) fails to provide to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent
pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.12(e) (or, in the case of an
Assignee Lender, Section 8.05(c)) any certificates or other evidence required by
such provision to establish that such Lender is, at the time it becomes a Lender
hereunder, entitled to receive

 

68

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

 

payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United
States federal income taxes, such Lender shall not be entitled to any
indemnification under Section 2.12(a) for any such Taxes imposed on such Lender
primarily as a result of such failure, except to the extent that such Lender (or
its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time such Lender became a Lender
hereunder, to receive additional amounts from the Borrowers with respect to such
Tax pursuant to Section 2.12(a).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 2.12, the Borrowers agree to pay additional amounts
and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 2.12(a) (without
regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or
withholding) in respect of any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described
in the immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes after the
Closing Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation,
guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting
or withholding of income or similar Taxes.

 

(f)            Lenders to Use Reasonable Efforts.  Any Lender claiming any
additional amounts in respect of Indemnifiable Taxes payable pursuant to this
Section 2.12 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory
restrictions and such Lender’s internal policies) to file any certificate or
document reasonably requested by the Borrowers, if the making of such a filing
would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such Indemnifiable Taxes
attributable to the Loans and would not, in the sole determination of such
Lender, result in any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense or otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender.

 

(g)           Survival.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other
agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this
Section 2.12 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all
other Obligations hereunder.

 

(h)           Tax Returns.  Nothing contained in this Section 2.12 shall require
the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available any of its Tax Returns
or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

 

2.13.       Funding Loss Indemnification.  If the Borrowers shall (a) repay,
prepay or convert any LIBOR Loan on any day other than the last day of an
Interest Period therefor (whether a scheduled payment, an optional prepayment or
conversion, a mandatory prepayment or conversion, a payment upon acceleration or
otherwise), (b) fail to borrow any LIBOR Loan or for which a Notice of Loan
Borrowing has been delivered to the Administrative Agent (whether as a result of
the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise), (c) fail to
convert any Revolving Loans into LIBOR Loans in accordance with a Notice of
Conversion delivered to the Administrative Agent (whether as a result of the
failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise) or (D) fail to
continue a LIBOR Loan for which a Notice of Interest Period Selection has been
delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall pay to the
appropriate Lender within five (5) Business Days after demand a prepayment fee,
failure to borrow fee, failure to convert fee or failure to continue fee, as the
case may be (determined as though 100% of the LIBOR Loan had been funded in the
London interbank eurodollar currency market) equal to the sum of:

 

(a)           the amount, if any, by which (i) the additional interest would
have accrued on the amount prepaid or not borrowed at the LIBOR Rate plus the
Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans if that amount had remained or been
outstanding through the last day of the

 

69

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

 

applicable Interest Period exceeds (ii) the interest that such Lender could
recover by placing such amount on deposit in the London interbank eurodollar
currency market for a period beginning on the date of the prepayment or failure
to borrow and ending on the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, if
no deposit rate quotation is available for such period, for the most comparable
period for which a deposit rate quotation may be obtained); plus

 

(b)           All reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
such Lender reasonably attributable to such payment, prepayment or failure to
borrow.

 

Each Lender’s determination of the amount of any prepayment fee payable under
this Section 2.13 shall be demonstrated pursuant to calculations in reasonable
detail and shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  The
obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.13 shall survive the payment
and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 

2.14.       Security.

 

(a)           Security Documents.  The Loans, together with all other
Obligations, shall be secured by the Liens granted by the Borrowers under the
Security Documents.  All obligations of a Guarantor under the Loan Documents
shall be secured by the Liens granted by such Guarantor under the Security
Documents.  So long as the terms thereof are in compliance with this Agreement,
each Lender Rate Contract and Lender Bank Product shall be secured by the Lien
of the Security Documents with the priority set forth in Section 6.02.

 

(b)           Further Assurances.  The Borrowers shall deliver, and shall cause
each Guarantor to deliver, to the Administrative Agent such mortgages, deeds of
trust, security agreements, pledge agreements, lessor consents and estoppels
(containing appropriate mortgagee and lender protection language), control
agreements, and other instruments, agreements, certificates, opinions and
documents (including Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and fixture
filings and landlord waivers) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request
to:

 

(i)            grant, perfect, maintain, protect and evidence security interests
in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Lender Parties, in any or all present and future property of the
Borrowers and the Guarantors prior to the Liens or other interests of any
Person, except for Permitted Liens; and

 

(ii)           otherwise establish, maintain, protect and evidence the rights
provided to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Lender Parties, pursuant to the Security Documents.

 

The Borrowers shall fully cooperate with the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders and perform all additional acts requested by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender to effect the purposes of this Section 2.14.

 

2.15.       Replacement of the Lenders.  If (a) any Lender shall become a
Defaulting Lender, (b) any Lender shall suspend its obligation to make or
maintain LIBOR Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b) for a reason which is not
applicable to any other Lender, or (c) any Lender shall demand any payment under
Section 2.11(c), 2.11(d) or 2.12(a) for a reason which is not

 

70

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

 

applicable to any other Lender, then the Administrative Agent may (or upon the
written request of the Borrowers if the Borrowers have located or identified a
replacement Lender that is an Eligible Assignee and is reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent as contemplated below, shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to) replace such Lender (the “affected Lender”), or cause
such affected Lender to be replaced, with another lender (the “replacement
Lender”) satisfying the requirements of an Assignee Lender under
Section 8.05(c), by having the affected Lender sell and assign all of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for
purposes of this Section 2.15, participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing
Line Loans) to the replacement Lender pursuant to Section 8.05(c); provided,
however, that if the Borrowers seek to exercise such right, it must do so within
sixty (60) days after it first knows or should have known of the occurrence of
the event or events giving rise to such right, and neither the Administrative
Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to identify or locate a
replacement Lender for the Borrowers (it being expressly agreed that in such
circumstances it is the Borrowers’ obligation to identify or locate a
replacement Lender that is an Eligible Assignee and is acceptable to the
Administrative Agent).  Upon receipt by any affected Lender of a written notice
from the Administrative Agent stating that the Administrative Agent is
exercising the replacement right set forth in this Section 2.15, such affected
Lender shall sell and assign all of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of this
Section 2.15, participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) to the
replacement Lender pursuant to an Assignment Agreement and Section 8.05(c) for a
purchase price equal to the sum of the principal amount of the affected Lender’s
Loans so sold and assigned or such other amount is agreed to by such affected
Lender and such replacement Lender), all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and
its ratable share of all fees and other amounts to which it is entitled.

 

ARTICLE III. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

 

3.01.       Initial Conditions Precedent.  The obligations of the Lenders to
make the Loans comprising the initial Borrowing are subject to the satisfaction

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

 

representation and warranty must be true in all respects) as if made on such
date (except for representations and warranties expressly made as of a specified

which case such representation and warranty must be true in all respects) as of
such date);

 

(ii)           No Default has occurred and is continuing or will result from
such Credit Event; and

 

(iii)          No material adverse change in the business, operations, condition

ARTICLE IV. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

 

4.01.       Representations and Warranties.  In order to induce the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement, the Borrowers
hereby represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the
Borrowers and each of the other Loan Parties as follows and agrees that each of
said representations and warranties shall be deemed to survive until full,
complete and indefeasible payment and performance of the Obligations and shall
apply anew to each Borrowing hereunder:

 

(a)           Due Formation, Qualification, etc.  Each Loan Party (i) is a
corporation, partnership or limited liability company duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
incorporation or formation; (ii) has the power and authority to own, lease and
operate its properties and carry on its business as now conducted; and (iii) is
duly qualified, licensed to do business and in good standing as a foreign

be so qualified or licensed, individually or in the aggregate could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(b)           Authority.  The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan
Party of each Loan Document executed, or to be executed, by such Loan Party and
the consummation

 

72

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

 

of the transactions contemplated thereby (i) are within the power of such Loan
Party and (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary actions on the part of
such Loan Party.

 

(c)           Enforceability.  Each Loan Document executed, or to be executed,
by each Loan Party has been, or will be, duly executed and delivered by such
Loan Party and constitutes, or will constitute, a legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance
with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of
general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights generally and general principles of equity.

 

(d)           Non-Contravention.  The execution and delivery by each Loan Party
of the Loan Documents executed by such Loan Party and the performance and
consummation of the transactions (including the use of Loan and Letter of Credit
proceeds) contemplated thereby do not (i) violate any Requirement of Law
applicable to such Loan Party; (ii) violate any provision of, or result in the
breach or the acceleration of, or entitle any other Person to accelerate
(whether after the giving of notice or lapse of time or both), any Contractual
Obligation of such Loan Party; (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any
Lien (or the obligation to create or impose any Lien) upon any property, asset
or revenue of such Loan Party (except such Liens as may be created in favor of
the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lender Parties pursuant to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents), (iv) result in a revocation, termination
or other material restriction on any Licenses material to the business,
operations or properties of the Loan Parties or (v) violate any provision of any
existing law, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court
or Governmental Authority to which it is subject.

 

(e)           Approvals.

 

(i)            Except as provided in Nevada Gaming Commission Regulations 3.020
or 8.130 with respect to Atlantis Casino Resort Spa, no consent, approval, order
or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any
Governmental Authority or other Person (including, without limitation, the
equity holders of any Person) is required in connection with the borrowing of
Loans, the granting of Liens under the Loan Documents, the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents (or any documents executed in connection
therewith) executed by any Loan Party or the performance or consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, except for those which have been
made or obtained and are in full force and effect.

 

(ii)           All Governmental Authorizations required for the activities and
operations of the Loan Parties (including gaming operations) and the ownership
of all property owned, operated or leased by the Loan Parties have been duly
obtained and are in full force and effect without any known conflict with the
rights of others and free from any unduly burdensome restrictions, except where
any such failure to obtain such Governmental Authorizations or any such conflict
or restriction could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or
in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.  No Loan Party has received any
written notice or other written communications from any Governmental Authority
regarding (A) any revocation, withdrawal, suspension, termination or
modification of, or the imposition of any material conditions with respect to,
any Governmental Authorization or License, or (B) any other limitations on the
conduct of business by such Loan Party, except where any such revocation,

 

73

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

 

withdrawal, suspension, termination, modification, imposition or limitation
could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(iii)          No Governmental Authorization is required for either (x) the
pledge or grant by any Loan Party as applicable of the Liens purported to be
created in favor of the Administrative Agent in connection herewith or any other
Loan Document or (y) the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any rights or
remedies in respect of any Collateral (whether specifically granted or created
pursuant to any of the Security Documents or created or provided for by any
Governmental Rule), except for (1) such Governmental Authorizations that have
been obtained and are in full force and effect and fully disclosed to
Administrative Agent in writing, and (2) filings or recordings contemplated in
connection with this Agreement or any Security Document.

 

(f)            No Violation or Default.  No Loan Party is in violation of or in
default with respect to (i) any Requirement of Law applicable to such Person
(including Gaming Laws) or (ii) any Contractual Obligation of such Person (nor

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No Default has
occurred and is continuing.

 

(g)           Litigation.  Except as set forth in Schedule 4.01(g), no actions
(including derivative actions), suits, proceedings (including arbitration
proceedings or mediation proceedings) or investigations are pending or

performance by any Loan Party of the Loan Documents or the transactions
contemplated thereby (or any documents executed in connection therewith or the
transactions contemplated thereby).

assets and properties acquired by the Loan Parties since such date (except those
disposed of in the ordinary course of business or otherwise in compliance with
this Agreement), except in each case, such defects in title that, in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
Such assets and properties are subject to no Lien, except for Permitted Liens. 
Each of the Loan Parties has complied in all material respects with all material
obligations under all material leases to which it is a party and enjoys peaceful
and undisturbed possession under such leases.  The real properties owned by the

and properties.  No Loan Party (A) has violated any Environmental Laws, (B) has
any liability under any Environmental Laws or (C) has received notice or other
communication of an investigation or is under investigation by any Governmental
Authority having authority to enforce Environmental Laws, where such violation,
liability or investigation could have, individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect.  Each Loan Party’s use and operation of its business

Effect.

Subsidiaries which have been delivered to the Administrative Agent (i) are in
accordance with the books and records of the Loan Parties, which have been
maintained in accordance with good business practice; (ii) have been prepared in
conformity with GAAP; and (iii) fairly present in all material respects the
financial conditions and results of operations of the Loan Parties as of the
date thereof and for the period covered thereby.  No Loan Party has any
Contingent Obligations, liability for taxes or other outstanding obligations
which, in any such case, are material in the aggregate, except as disclosed in
the Financial Statements of Parent and its Subsidiaries furnished to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to item (d) of Schedule 3.01 or in
the Financial Statements delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
clause (i) or (ii) of Section 5.01(a).

Office filings delivered to the Administrative Agent for filing and recording,
and as of the date delivered, the recording of any mortgages or deeds of trust
delivered to the Administrative Agent for recording (but not yet recorded), are
effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
Lender Parties, as security for the Obligations, a valid and perfected first
priority Lien on all of the Collateral as of the Closing Date (or as of the date
any Loan Party becomes party to the Loan Documents after the Closing Date, as to
such Loan Party) (subject only to Permitted Liens), and (y) all filings and
other actions necessary or desirable to perfect and maintain the perfection and
first priority status of such Liens have been duly made or taken and remain in
full force and effect.  In the case of deposit accounts and accounts with any
securities intermediary (other than the Pari-mutuel Accounts) maintained in the
United States and pledged to the Administrative Agent under the Security
Agreement, when the Control Agreements have been duly executed and delivered by
a Borrower or applicable Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the applicable
depository bank or securities intermediary, as the case may be, the Security
Agreement (together with such

 

75

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

 

Control Agreements) shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security
interest in, all right, title and interest of such Borrower or Guarantor in such
Collateral, as security for the Obligations, in each case prior and superior to
the Lien of any other Person.

 

(ii)           All outstanding Equity Securities of the Loan Parties are duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  Except as set forth
on Schedule 4.01(j)(ii), there are no outstanding subscriptions, options
(excluding officer, director and employee stock options issued pursuant to a
stock option plan disclosed to the Administrative Agent), conversion rights,
warrants or other agreements or commitments of any nature whatsoever (firm or
conditional) obligating the Loan Parties to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to
be issued, delivered or sold, any additional Equity Securities of the Loan
Parties, or obligating the Loan Parties to grant, extend or enter into any such
agreement or commitment.  All Equity Securities of the Loan Parties have been
offered and sold in compliance with all federal and state securities laws and
all other Requirements of Law, except where any failure to comply could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(iii)          Each of the Real Property Security Documents is effective to
create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender
Parties, a legal, valid, binding and enforceable Lien on, and security interest
in, the respective Loan Party’s right, title and interest in and to the real
property subject thereto and proceeds thereof, and, each such Real Property
Security Document shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security
interest in, all right, title and interest of the grantors thereof in such real
property and proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations, in each case
prior and superior in right to any other Person (except with respect to
Permitted Liens).

 

(k)           ERISA.  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.01(k):

 

(i)            Based upon the actuarial assumptions specified for funding

ERISA Affiliate maintains or contributes to, or has any obligation under, the
aggregate benefit liabilities of such Pension Plan within the meaning of
Section 4001 of ERISA did not exceed the aggregate value of the assets of such
Pension Plan.  Neither any Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has any liability
with respect to any post-retirement benefit under any employee welfare plan (as
defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), other than liability for health plan
continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Title I(B) of ERISA, which
liability for health plan continuation coverage could not have a Material
Adverse Effect.

 

(ii)           Each Pension Plan complies, in both form and operation, in all
material respects, with its terms, ERISA and the IRC, and no condition exists or
event has occurred with respect to any such Pension Plan which would result in
the incurrence by any Loan Party or any ERISA Affiliate of any material
liability, fine or penalty.  Each Pension Plan, related trust agreement,
arrangement and commitment of any Loan Party or any ERISA Affiliate is legally
valid and binding and in full force and effect.  No Pension Plan is being
audited or investigated by any government agency or is subject to any pending or
threatened claim or suit.  No Loan Party or ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a
prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the IRC
with respect to any Pension Plan which would result in the incurrence by any
Loan Party or ERISA Affiliate of any material liability.

 

76

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

 

(iii)          No Loan Party or ERISA Affiliates contributes to or has any
material contingent obligations to any Multiemployer Plan.  No Loan Party or
ERISA Affiliate has incurred any material liability (including secondary
liability) to any Multiemployer Plan as a result of a complete or partial
withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan under Section 4201 of ERISA or as a
result of a sale of assets described in Section 4204 of ERISA.  No Loan Party or
ERISA Affiliate has been notified that any Multiemployer Plan is in

Section 4245 of ERISA or that any Multiemployer Plan intends to terminate or has
been terminated under Section 4041A of ERISA.

 

(iv)          No Loan Party has (A) engaged in any transaction prohibited by any
Governmental Rule applicable to any Foreign Plan; (B) failed to make full
payment when due of all amounts due as contributions to any Foreign Plan; or
(C) otherwise failed to comply with the requirements of any Governmental
Rule applicable to any Foreign Plan, where singly or cumulatively, the above
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(l)            Margin Stock; Other Regulations.  No Loan Party owns any Margin
Stock which, in the aggregate, would constitute a substantial part of the assets
of Parent or the Loan Parties (taken as a whole), and not more than 25% of the
value (as determined by any reasonable method) of the assets of any Loan Party
is represented by Margin Stock, and no proceeds of any Loan or any Letter of
Credit will be used, whether directly or indirectly, to purchase, acquire or
carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit, directly or indirectly, to any
Person for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock.  No Loan
Party is subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the
Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act, any state public utilities code
or to any other Governmental Rule limiting its ability to incur indebtedness.

 

(m)          Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights and Licenses.  The Loan Parties
each possess and either own, or have the right to use to the extent required,
all necessary trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent rights and
licenses which are material to the conduct of their respective businesses as now
operated.  The Loan Parties each conduct their respective businesses without
infringement or, to the Borrowers’ knowledge, claim of infringement of any
trademark, trade name, trade secret, service mark, patent, copyright, license or
other intellectual property rights of any other Person (which is not a Loan
Party), except where such infringement or claim of infringement could not have a
Material Adverse Effect.  There is no infringement or, to the Borrowers’
knowledge, claim of infringement by others of any material trademark, trade
name, trade secret, service mark, patent, copyright, license or other
intellectual property right of the Borrowers or any of the other Loan Parties.

by any Loan Party which is Collateral and registered with any Governmental
Authority is set forth on the schedules to the Security Agreement.

 

(n)           Governmental Charges.  The Loan Parties have timely filed or
caused to be timely filed with the appropriate taxing authorities all federal
Tax Returns and Nevada and other material state Tax Returns which are required
to be filed by them.  The Tax Returns accurately reflected all material
liabilities for Taxes of the Loan Parties for the periods covered thereby.  The
Loan Parties have paid, or made provision for the payment of, all Taxes and
other Governmental Charges which have or may have become due pursuant to said
returns or otherwise and all other indebtedness, except such Governmental
Charges or indebtedness, if any,

which adequate reserves (determined in accordance with GAAP) have been
established.  All Taxes which any Loan Party was required by law to withhold or
collect in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent
contractor, creditor, stockholder or other third party have been duly withheld
or collected, and have been timely paid over to the proper authorities to the
extent due and payable.  No Loan Party has executed or filed with the Internal
Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority any agreement or other

other right, power or remedy available to it under any of the Loan Documents or
otherwise by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, (i) all Cash

Obligations to be applied first to repay the Swing Line Loans in full, second to
repay the Revolving Loans in full and then to Cash Collateralize the Obligations

99

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

entitled thereto.

acceleration, or continued acceleration, of amounts payable under the Loan
Documents, or prevent the exercise, or continued exercise, of rights or remedies
of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder or thereunder or at law or
in equity.

 

ARTICLE VII. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND RELATIONS AMONG LENDERS.

 

7.01.       Appointment, Powers and Immunities.

 

(a)           Each Lender (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Affiliate of
such Lender that is party to a Lender Rate Contract or providing Lender Bank
Products) hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as its
agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with such powers as are
expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto.  Each Lender (on its own behalf and on behalf of any
Affiliate of such Lender that is party to a Lender Rate Contract or providing
Lender Bank Products) hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such
action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein,
together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  For the
avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or the other
Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting as administrative agent for
the Lenders only and the Administrative Agent is not acting as administrative
agent for any other Lender Parties; the Lender Parties (other than the Lenders)
that are receiving the benefit of the Collateral are receiving such benefit as
an accommodation from the Administrative Agent in its capacity as collateral
agent for such Lender Parties and the Administrative Agent shall have no
liability whatsoever to such Lender Parties. The Syndication Agent, Sole
Bookrunner and Lead Arranger shall not have any duties or responsibilities or
any liabilities under this Agreement or any other

 

100

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

 

Loan Documents and any amendments, consents, waivers or any other actions taken
in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall not require
the consent of the Syndication Agent, Sole Bookrunner or, except to the extent
expressly set forth in Section 8.04(g), Lead Arranger, in such capacity.  The
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, be a
trustee for any Lender (or any Affiliate of such Lender that is party to a
Lender Rate Contract or providing Lender Bank Products) or have any fiduciary
duty to any Lender (or any Affiliate of such Lender that is party to a Lender
Rate Contract or providing Lender Bank Products).  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein the Administrative Agent shall not be required to
take any action which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or any applicable Governmental Rules.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any
Lender shall be responsible to any other Lender for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties made by any Loan Party contained in this Agreement
or in any other Loan Document, for the value, validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or for any failure by any Loan Party to perform its obligations
hereunder or thereunder.  The Administrative Agent may employ agents and
attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible to any Lender for the negligence
or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with
reasonable care.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors,
officers, employees, agents or advisors shall be responsible to any Lender for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any
other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except to the extent
determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have arisen from its or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.  Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to the Loan Documents
as shall be directed by the Required Lenders or in the absence of such
direction, such action as the Administrative Agent in good faith deems advisable
under the circumstances.

 

(b)           Any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.01(a) for purposes of holding or
enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the
Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder and
hereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the
benefits of all provisions of this Article VII, Section 8.02 and Section 8.03 as
if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

 

(c)           The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to
any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith until
such time (and except for so long) as the Administrative Agent may agree at the
request of the Required Lenders to act for the L/C Issuer with respect thereto;
provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and
immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article VII with
respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection
with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the
application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the Letters of
Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this
Article VII included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and
(ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

 

101

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

 

7.02.       Reliance by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent, the
L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to rely upon any
certificate, notice or other document (including any cable, telegram, facsimile
or telex) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have
been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons (including
any certificate, notice or other document from a Loan Party that a sale,
transfer, or other disposition of Collateral is permitted by Section 5.02(c)),
and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and
other experts selected by the Administrative Agent with reasonable care.  As to
any other matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action or exercise any
discretion, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting upon
instructions of the Required Lenders and shall in all cases be fully protected
by the Lenders in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any
other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders
(or all Lenders if required by Section 8.04), and such instructions of the
Required Lenders (or all the Lenders as the case may be) and any action taken or
failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

 

7.03.       Defaults.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default unless the Administrative
Agent has received a written notice from a Lender or the Borrowers, referring to
this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a
“Notice of Default”.  If the Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the
occurrence of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice
thereof to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with
respect to such Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders;
provided, however, that until the Administrative Agent shall have received such
directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take
such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as
it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders.  Notwithstanding
anything in the contrary contained herein, the order and manner in which the
Lenders’ rights and remedies are to be exercised (including, without limitation,
the enforcement by any Lender of its Note) shall be determined by the Required
Lenders in their sole discretion.

 

7.04.       Indemnification.  Without limiting the Obligations of the Borrowers
hereunder, each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, ratably in
accordance with its Revolving Proportionate Share of all Obligations and
Revolving Loan Commitments, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to
herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the
enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof; provided, however, that no
Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent determined by a
final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have
arisen from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in refusing to take or in
continuing to take any action hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to
its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which
may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such
action.  The obligations of each Lender under this Section 7.04 shall survive
the payment and performance of the Obligations, the termination of this
Agreement and any Lender

 

102

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

 

ceasing to be a party to this Agreement (with respect to events which occurred
prior to the time such Lender ceased to be a Lender hereunder).

 

7.05.       Non-Reliance.  Each Lender represents that it has, independently and
without reliance on the Administrative Agent, or any other Lender, and based on
such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of the business, prospects, management, financial condition and
affairs of the Loan Parties and its own decision to enter into this Agreement
and agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. 
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their
respective directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors shall (a) be
required to keep any Lender informed as to the performance or observance by any
Loan Party of the obligations under this Agreement or any other document
referred to or provided for herein or to make inquiry of, or to inspect the
properties or books of any Loan Party; (b) have any duty or responsibility to
disclose to or otherwise provide any Lender, and shall not be liable for the
failure to disclose or otherwise provide any Lender, with any credit or other
information concerning any Loan Party which may come into the possession of the
Administrative Agent or that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving
as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity, except for
notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be
furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder or any other Loan
Document; or (c) be responsible to any Lender for (i) any recital, statement,
representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any officer, employee or
agent of any Loan Party in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents,
(ii) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or
sufficiency of this Agreement or any Loan Document, (iii) the value or
sufficiency of the Collateral or the validity or perfection of any of the liens
or security interests intended to be created by the Loan Documents, or (iv) any
failure by any Loan Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document.

 

7.06.       Resignation of the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent
may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof
to the Borrowers and the Lenders.  Upon any such resignation, the Required
Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which
successor Administrative Agent, if not a Lender, shall be reasonably acceptable
to the Borrowers; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall have no right to
approve a successor Administrative Agent if a Default has occurred and is
continuing.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent
hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative
Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from the duties and obligations
thereafter arising hereunder; provided that the retiring Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from the duties and obligations arising hereunder from and
after the end of such thirty (30) day period even if no successor has been
appointed.  If no such successor has been appointed, the Required Lenders shall
act as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. 
After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the
Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VII shall continue in
effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by
it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.  The successor
Administrative Agent (or if there is no successor, one of the Lenders

 

103

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

 

appointed by the Required Lenders that accepts such appointment) shall also
simultaneously replace the then existing Administrative Agent and the then
existing Administrative Agent shall be fully released as “L/C Issuer” and “Swing
Line Lender” hereunder pursuant to documentation in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the then existing Administrative Agent.

 

7.07.       Collateral Matters.

 

(a)           The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by each Lender,
without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, and
without the obligation to take any such action, to take any action with respect
to any Collateral or any Security Document which may from time to time be
necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens of the Security Documents.

 

(b)           The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its
option and in its discretion, to release (and to execute and deliver such
documents, instruments and agreements as the Administrative Agent may deem
necessary to release) any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent
upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments and
the full Cash Collateralization of the then outstanding L/C Obligations and the
payment in full of all Loans and all other Obligations payable under this
Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (other than Obligations in respect
of Lender Bank Products); (ii) constituting property of the Loan Parties which
is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in connection with any transaction
not prohibited by this Agreement or the Loan Documents; (iii) constituting
property leased to the Loan Parties under an operating lease which has expired
or been terminated in a transaction not prohibited by this Agreement or the Loan
Documents or which will concurrently expire and which has not been and is not
intended by the Loan Parties to be, renewed or extended; (iv) consisting of an
instrument, if the Indebtedness evidenced thereby has been paid in full; or
(v) if approved or consented to by those of the Lenders required by
Section 8.04.  Upon request by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders will
confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular
types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 7.07.

 

(c)           Unless all the Lenders otherwise consent in writing, any and all
cash collateral for the Obligations shall be released to the Borrowers, to the
extent not applied to the Obligations, only if (i) the Revolving Loan
Commitments have been terminated (ii) all Obligations (other than Obligations in
respect of Lender Bank Products) have been paid in full and are no longer
outstanding, including, without limitation, any L/C Obligations or any other
contingent obligations.

 

7.08.       Performance of Conditions.  For the purpose of determining
fulfillment by the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties of conditions precedent
specified in Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.03 only, each Lender shall be deemed to
have consented to, and approved or accepted, or to be satisfied with each
document or other matter sent by the Administrative Agent to such Lender for
consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required under Article III to
be consented to, or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to, that Lender,
unless an officer of the Administrative Agent who is responsible for the
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents shall have received written
notice from that Lender prior to the making of the requested Loan or the
issuance of the requested Letter of Credit specifying its objection thereto

 

104

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

 

and either (i) such objection shall not have been withdrawn by written notice to
the Administrative Agent or (ii) in the case of any condition to the making of a
Loan, that Lender shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent that
Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of such Loan or Letter of Credit.

 

7.09.       The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity; Other
Relationships.  The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to,
issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from and generally
engage in any kind of banking or other business with any Loan Party and its
Affiliates as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent,
L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder.  With respect to Loans, if any, made
by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender, the Administrative
Agent in its capacity as a Lender shall have the same rights and powers under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise
the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer or Swing
Line Lender, and the terms “Lender” or “Lenders” shall include the
Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender.  The Administrative Agent
shall not be deemed to hold a fiduciary, trust or other special relationship
with any Lender and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist
against the Administrative Agent.

 

7.10.       Collateral Matters/Lender Rate Contracts/Lender Bank Products.  Each
Lender on its own behalf on behalf of its Affiliates understands and agrees that
(a) counterparties to Lender Rate Contracts and providers of Lender Bank
Products will have the benefits of the Collateral as set forth in the Loan
Documents and (b) if the Obligations are repaid as described in Section 7.07,
the Collateral will be released as described in Section 7.07 and such Lender and
its Affiliates will no longer have the benefits of the Collateral.

 

7.11.       Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the
pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial
proceeding relative to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of
whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and
payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower)
shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or
otherwise:

 

(a)       to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent
and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders,
the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.02(i), 2.02(j),
2.05, 8.02 and 8.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

(b)       to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Lender to make such payments to the

 

105

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

 

Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall
consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and
counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.05,
8.02 and 8.03.

 

7.12. Application of Gaming Laws.

 

(a)           This Agreement, the Security Agreement and the other Loan
Documents are subject to Gaming Laws and approval, if so required, of the
applicable Gaming Board. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the
Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties acknowledges that (i) it is subject
to being called forward by the Gaming Board in their discretion, for licensing
or a finding of suitability or to file or provide other information, and
(ii) all rights, remedies and powers in or under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, including with respect to the Collateral (including Equity
Securities), may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does
not violate any applicable provisions of the Gaming Laws and only to the extent
that required approvals are obtained from the requisite Gaming Boards.

 

(b)           Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties agrees to
cooperate with all Gaming Boards in connection with the provision of such
documents or other information as may be requested by such Gaming Boards
relating to the Loan Parties or to the Loan Documents. The Borrowers hereby
consent to any such disclosure by the Administrative Agent and the Lender
Parties to any Gaming Board and releases such parties from any liability for any
such disclosure.

 

(c)           If during the existence of an Event of Default hereunder or under
any of the other Loan Documents it shall become necessary, or in the opinion of
the Required Lenders advisable, for an agent, supervisor, receiver or other
representative of the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties to become
licensed under any Governmental Rule as a condition to receiving the benefit of
any Collateral encumbered by the Security Documents or other Loan Documents or
to otherwise enforce the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
under the Loan Documents, the Borrowers hereby agree to assist the
Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties and any such agent, supervisor,
receiver or other representative obtain licenses and to execute such further
documents as may be required in connection therewith.

Each Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion and Notice of Interest Period
Selection shall be given by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent’s office
located at the address referred to above during the Administrative Agent’s
normal business hours; provided, however, that any such notice received by the
Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day shall be deemed
received by the Administrative Agent on the next Business Day. In any case where
this

 

107

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

 

Agreement authorizes notices, requests, demands or other communications by the
Borrowers to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to be made by telephone or
facsimile, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may conclusively presume that
anyone purporting to be a person designated in any incumbency certificate or
other similar document received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender is such
a person.

 

(b)           The Borrowers agree that the Administrative Agent may make any
material delivered by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent, as well as any
amendments, waivers, consents, and other written information, documents,
instruments and other materials relating to the Borrowers or any other Loan
Party, or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement, the other
Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the
“Communications”) available to the Lenders by posting such notices on an
electronic delivery system (which may be provided by the Administrative Agent,
an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, or any Person that is not an Affiliate
of the Administrative Agent), such as IntraLinks, The Debt Exchange, Inc.,
SyndTrak Online or a substantially similar electronic system (the “Platform”).
The Borrowers acknowledge 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, completeness, timeliness, sufficiency, or
sequencing of the Communications posted on the Platform. The Administrative
Agent and its Affiliates expressly disclaim with respect to the Platform any
liability for errors in transmission, incorrect or incomplete downloading,
delays in posting or delivery, or problems accessing the Communications posted
on the Platform and any liability for any losses, costs, expenses or liabilities
that may be suffered or incurred in connection with the Platform except for
liability determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction to be due to the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct. 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 Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in
connection with the Platform. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided
in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communication has been
posted to the Platform shall for purposes of this Agreement constitute effective
delivery to such Lender of such information, documents or other materials
comprising such Communication. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify, on or before
the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent
in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address to which a Notice may be sent (and
from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on
record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may
be sent to such e-mail address.

 

(c)           Golden Road, MGI and, from and after the Acquisition Closing Date,
the Acquired Company each hereby appoints and constitutes Parent (the “Borrower
Representative”) as its agent to (i) receive statements on account and all other
notices from the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and the
Swing Line Lender and (ii) execute and deliver notices, statements and
certificates to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and the
Swing Line Lender, in each case, with respect to the Obligations or otherwise
under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any
notice, election, representation, warranty, agreement or undertaking by or on
behalf of Golden Road, MGI or the

 

108

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

 

Acquired Company by the Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes
to have been made by Golden Road, MGI or the Acquired Company, as the case may
be, and shall be binding upon and enforceable against Golden Road, MGI or the
Acquired Company (as applicable) to the same extent as if made directly by
Golden Road, MGI or the Acquired Company (as applicable). Any notice or
certificate required or permitted hereunder to be delivered by any or all of the
Borrowers (or their Responsible Officers or Senior Officers) may be delivered by
the Borrower Representative (or its Responsible Officers or Senior Officers) on
behalf of any or all of the Borrowers, as the case may be. The Borrowers may
replace the Borrower Representative with a different Borrower from time to time
upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent.

 

8.02.       Expenses. The Borrowers shall pay on demand, whether or not any
Credit Event occurs hereunder, (a) all reasonable fees and expenses, including
reasonable syndication expenses, travel expenses, attorneys’, consultants’ and
experts’ fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and Lead
Arranger in connection with the syndication of the facilities provided
hereunder, due diligence, the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery
of, and the exercise of its duties under, this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of
amendments, waivers, consents, modifications and supplements related to the Loan
Documents, (b) all reasonable fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent and
Lead Arranger in connection with the use of any Platform and (c) subject to
Section 8.19, all fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses, incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the
enforcement of any of the Obligations or in preserving any of the Administrative
Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights and remedies (including, without limitation, all
such fees and expenses incurred in connection with any “workout” or
restructuring affecting the Loan Documents or the Obligations or any bankruptcy
or similar proceeding involving any Loan Party). The obligations of the
Borrowers under this Section 8.02 shall survive the payment and performance of
the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 

8.03.       Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, and in
addition to any other indemnity set forth in the Loan Documents, the Borrowers
agree to (a) protect, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, the Lead Arranger, the Lenders and
their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys,
agents, trustees and advisors (collectively, “Indemnitees”) from and against any
and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, costs,
disbursements, claims or expenses of any kind or nature and from any suits,
claims or demands (including in respect of or for attorneys’ fees and other
expenses) arising on account of or in connection with any matter or thing or
action or failure to act by Indemnitees, or any of them, arising out of or
relating to (i) the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or
related thereto, including the making of any Loans, the funding of any
Unreimbursed Amounts and any use by the Borrowers of any proceeds of the Loans
or the Letters of Credit, (ii) any Environmental Damages, (iii) any claims for
brokerage fees or commissions in connection with the Loan Documents or any
transaction contemplated thereby or in connection with the Borrowers’ failure to
conclude any other financing, and to reimburse each Indemnitee on demand for all
reasonable legal and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or
defending any of the foregoing, (iv) the use of any Platform or (v) any and all
excise, sales or other similar taxes which may be payable or determined to be
payable with respect to any of the

 

109

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

 

Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by the
Security Documents, including any penalties, claims or other losses resulting
from any delay in paying such excise, sales or other similar taxes and
(b) reimburse each Indemnitee for all reasonable legal fees and other expenses
in connection with such Indemnitee’s investigation or defense of any of the
foregoing; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 8.03 shall
obligate the Borrowers to protect, indemnify, defend or hold harmless any
Indemnitee against any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, judgments, costs, disbursements, claims or expenses to the extent
determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have arisen from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnitee or a breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations under this
Agreement. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding to which
the indemnity set forth in this Section 8.03 applies, such indemnity shall be
effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought
by a Borrower, the holders of a Borrower’s Equity Securities, any creditor of a
Borrower or an Indemnitee and whether not an Indemnitee is otherwise a party
thereto. Upon receiving knowledge of any suit, claim or demand asserted by a
third party that the Administrative Agent, Lead Arranger or any Lender believes
is covered by this indemnity, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall give
the Borrowers notice of the matter; provided that the failure of the
Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger or such Lender to so notify the
Borrowers shall not relieve the Borrowers from their obligations under this
Section 8.03 or result in any liability of the Administrative Agent, the Lead
Arranger or the Lenders. In connection with any such suit, claim or demand, the
Administrative Agent, Lead Arranger or such Lender may select its own counsel or
request that the Borrowers defend such suit, claim or demand, with legal counsel
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, Lead Arranger or such Lender as the
case may be, at the Borrowers’ sole cost and expense; provided, however, that
the Administrative Agent, Lead Arranger or such Lender shall not be required to
so notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have
the right to defend, at the Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, any such matter
that is in connection with a formal proceeding instituted by any Governmental
Authority having authority to regulate or oversee any aspect of the
Administrative Agent’s, Lead Arranger’s or such Lender’s business or that of its
Affiliates. The Administrative Agent or such Lender may also require the
Borrowers to defend the matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the
Indemnitees will be entitled to employ counsel separate from counsel for the
Borrowers and for any other party in such action if any such Indemnitee
reasonably determines that a conflict of interest or other reasonable basis
exists which makes representation by counsel chosen by the Borrowers not
advisable, all at the Borrowers’ expense. In the event an Indemnitee (or any of
its officers, directors or employees) appears as a witness in any action or
proceeding brought against the Borrowers in which an Indemnitee is not named as
a defendant, the Borrowers agree to reimburse such Indemnitee for all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it (including fees and expenses of counsel)
in connection with its appearing as a witness. Any failure or delay of the
Administrative Agent, Lead Arranger or any Lender to notify the Borrowers of any
such suit, claim or demand shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligations
under this Section 8.03. No Indemnitee referred to above shall be liable for any
damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or
other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee
through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems
in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual
damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee as

 

110

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

 

determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction. The Borrowers shall not, without the prior written consent of each
Indemnitee affected thereby (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld),
settle any threatened or pending claim or action that would give rise to the
right of any Indemnitee to claim indemnification hereunder unless such
settlement (x) includes a full and unconditional release of all liabilities
arising out of such claim or action against such Indemnitee and (y) does not
include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to
act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee. The Borrowers agrees that no Indemnitee
shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort, or
otherwise) to the Borrowers or their Affiliates or to their respective equity
holders or creditors arising out of, related to or in connection with any aspect
of the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent such liability is
determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 8.03
shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination
of this Agreement. The obligations of the Loan Parties with respect to
Environmental Damages are (1) separate and distinct from the Obligations
described within the Real Property Security Documents and the Liens and security
interests created in the Real Property Security Documents, and (2) may be
enforced against the Loan Parties without regard to the existence of the Real
Property Security Documents and independently of any action with respect to the
Real Property Security Documents.

 

8.04.       Waivers; Amendments. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended or waived, and any
consent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be given, if such
amendment, waiver or consent is in writing and is signed by the Borrowers and
the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Required
Lenders with the written approval of the Required Lenders); provided, however,
that:

 

(a)          Any amendment, waiver or consent which would (i) amend the
definition of “Required Lenders”, or modify in any other manner the number or
percentage of the Lenders required to make any determinations or to waive any
rights under, or to modify any provision of, this Agreement (other than
“Required Lenders”), (ii) increase the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (except
as contemplated by Section 2.01(b)), (iii) extend the Maturity Date, (iv) reduce
the principal of or interest on any Loan or L/C Borrowing or any fees or other
amounts payable for the account of the Lenders hereunder, (v) extend any date
fixed for any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loans or any fees
or other amounts payable for the account of the Lenders or extend any Reduction
Date, (vi) amend this Section 8.04 or Section 2.10, or (vii) increase the dollar
amounts in Section 2.01(b), must be in writing and signed or approved in writing
by all of the Lenders directly adversely affected thereby.

 

(b)          Any amendment, waiver or consent which releases any Loan Party or
all or substantially all of the Collateral or any Guarantor must be in writing
and signed or approved in writing by all Lenders, except that (i) any such
release in connection with a sale or other disposition of Collateral authorized
by Section 5.02(c) may be executed by the Administrative Agent and shall not
require the approval of any Lenders and (ii) any amendment, waiver or consent
which modifies the terms of Section 5.02(c) (including any modification relating
to the

 

111

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

 

prepayment of proceeds from any such sale or other disposition) shall require
the consent of the Required Lenders;

 

(c)          Any amendment, waiver or consent which increases or decreases the
Revolving Proportionate Share of any Lender must be in writing and signed by
such Lender (other than any such document that implements the provisions of
Section 2.01(b);

 

(d)          Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or duties
of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement must be in writing and signed by
the Swing Line Lender;

 

(e)          Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or duties
of the L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any Letter of Credit Application
relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it must be in writing
and signed by the L/C Issuer;

 

(f)          Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or
obligations of the Administrative Agent must be in writing and signed by the
Administrative Agent;

 

(g)          Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or
obligations of the Lead Arranger under Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 must be in
writing and signed by the Lead Arranger; and

 

(h)          Section 5.03 may be amended by a written amendment signed by the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent as set forth in Section 2.01(b).

 

No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any
right under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver
thereof or of any other right hereunder or thereunder nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise thereof
or of any other right hereunder or thereunder. Unless otherwise specified in
such waiver or consent, a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. The
Lenders may condition the giving or making of any amendment, waiver or consent
of any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document on payment of a fee by the Borrowers (which may be payable only to
the Lenders that consent to such matters within specified periods).

 

In connection with any such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or
termination requiring the consent of all Lenders (such proposed amendment,
modification, waiver or termination, a “Proposed Change”), if the consent of the
Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is
required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as
described in this Section 8.04 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”),
then, so long as the Lender that is acting as the Administrative Agent is not a
Non-Consenting Lender, at the Borrowers’ request, the Lender that is acting as
the Administrative Agent or an Eligible Assignee that is acceptable to the
Administrative Agent shall have the right with the Administrative Agent’s
consent and in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no
obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting
Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and
assign to the Lender that is acting as the Administrative Agent or such Eligible
Assignee, all of its rights and obligations

 

112

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

 

under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of
this paragraph, the Revolving Loan Commitments, the Revolving Loans, L/C
Advances, and participations in Swing Line Loans) for an amount equal to the
principal balance of all Revolving Loans, L/C Advances and aggregate amounts
funded under Section 2.03(c)(ii) in respect of Swing Line Loans, by the
Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto
through the date of sale (or such other amounts as may be agreed upon by the
Non-Consenting Lender and the assignee). In such event, such Non-Consenting
Lender agrees to execute an Assignment Agreement to reflect such purchase and
sale, but regardless of whether such Assignment Agreement is executed, such
Non-Consenting Lender’s rights hereunder, except rights under Section 8.03 with
respect to actions prior to such date, shall cease from and after the date of
tender by the purchaser of the amount of the purchase price.

 

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the Fee Letter may only be
amended, modified or changed, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, only by
the parties thereto in accordance with the respective provisions thereof and
(y) each Lender Rate Contract and agreement with respect to Lender Bank Products
may only be amended, modified or changed, or rights or privileges thereunder
waived, only by the parties thereto in accordance with the respective provisions
thereof.

 

Any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent pursuant
to this Section 8.04 shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, each of
the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, any Defaulting Lender shall not have any right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the
(i) Revolving Proportionate Share of such Defaulting Lender may not be
increased, (ii) the Maturity Date of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender may not
be extended, and (iii) principal and interest owing to such Defaulting Lender
may not be reduced, in each case without the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

 

No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any payments hereunder of any
kind during the period such Lender is a Defaulting Lender other than principal
and interest payments. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the L/C
Issuer and the Swing Line Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion that
a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the
Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the
effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth
therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral),
that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding
Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative
Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and
unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on
a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Proportionate
Shares, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided
that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or
payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a
Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise
expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting
Lender to non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim
of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting
Lender.

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

 

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 Borrowers or either of them shall be vested
exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such
enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 6.02 for the benefit of all the
Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the
Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies
that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent)
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the L/C Issuer from exercising
the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C
Issuer) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or (c) any Lender from
exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 8.06 (subject to the terms
of Section 2.10); and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person
acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.02 and (ii) in addition to the
matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to
Section 2.10, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce
any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required
Lenders.

 

8.05.       Successors and Assigns.

 

(a)           Binding Effect. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Notes and their respective
successors and permitted assigns, except that no Loan Party may assign or
transfer any of its rights or obligations under any Loan Document (except in
connection with a merger or consolidation permitted by Section 5.02(d)) without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender. Any
purported assignment or transfer by a Loan Party in violation of the foregoing
shall be null and void.

 

(b)           Participations. Any Lender may, without notice to or consent of
the Borrowers, at any time sell to one or more banks or other financial
institutions (“Participants”) participating interests in all or a portion of any
Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such
Lender or any other interest of such Lender under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in
L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans); provided that notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Participant shall be a Loan Party or an Affiliate of a Loan Party.
In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests, such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender
shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall
remain the holder of its Notes for all purposes under this Agreement and the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any such sale
is effected may require the selling Lender to obtain the consent of the
Participant in order for such Lender to agree in writing to any amendment,
waiver or consent of a type specified in Section 8.04(a)(i), (iv), (v) or
(vii) or Section 8.04(b) but may not otherwise require the selling Lender to
obtain the consent of such Participant to any other amendment, waiver or consent
hereunder. The Borrowers agree that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents are not paid when due

 

114

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

 

(whether upon acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its
participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any other Loan
Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were
owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents; provided, however, that (i) no Participant shall exercise any rights
under this sentence without the consent of the Administrative Agent, (ii) no
Participant shall have any rights under this sentence which are greater than
those of the selling Lender and (iii) such rights of setoff shall be subject to
the obligation of such Participant to share the payment so obtained with all of
the Lenders as provided in Section 2.10(b). The Borrowers also agree that any
Lender which has transferred any participating interest in its Commitment or
Loans shall, notwithstanding any such transfer, be entitled to the full benefits
accorded such Lender under Sections 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13, as if such Lender had
not made such transfer.

 

(c)           Assignments. Any Lender may, at any time, sell and assign to any
Lender or any Eligible Assignee (individually, an “Assignee Lender”) all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents (including for purposes of this subsection (c), participations in L/C
Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) (such a sale and assignment to be referred
to herein as an “Assignment”) pursuant to an assignment agreement in
substantially the form of Exhibit G (an “Assignment Agreement”), executed by
each Assignee Lender and such assignor Lender (an “Assignor Lender”) and
delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the
Register; provided, however, that:

 

(i)            Each Assignee Lender shall provide, as a condition to the
effectiveness of such assignment, appropriate assurances and indemnities (which
may include letters of credit) to the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender as
each may require with respect to any continuing obligation to purchase
participation interests in any L/C Obligations or any Swing Line Loans then
outstanding;

 

(ii)           Without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers (which consent
of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed), no Lender may make any Assignment to any Assignee Lender which is
not, immediately prior to such Assignment, a Lender hereunder, provided that the
Borrowers shall be deemed to have consented to any such Assignment unless it
shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five
(5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

 

(iii)          Without the written consent of (1) the Administrative Agent,
(2) if such Assignment would result in the Assignee Lender becoming a Lender,
the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, and (3) if no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Lender may make any Assignment to any
Assignee Lender (I) that is less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in the
aggregate or (II) if, after giving effect to such Assignment, the Revolving Loan
Commitment or Loans of such Lender or such Assignee Lender would be less than
Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (except that, in each case, a Lender may make
an Assignment which reduces its Revolving Loan Commitment or Loans to zero
without the written consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent except
to the extent such written consent is required by clause (ii) above and clause
(iv) below); and

 

115

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

 

(iv)          Without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if no
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers (which consent of the
Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), no Lender may make any Assignment which does not assign and delegate
an equal pro rata interest in such Lender’s Revolving Loans, Revolving Loan
Commitment and all other rights, duties and obligations of such Lender under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of each Assignment
Agreement, from and after the Assignment Effective Date determined pursuant to
such Assignment Agreement, (A) each Assignee Lender thereunder shall be a Lender
hereunder with a Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans as set forth on Attachment
1 to such Assignment Agreement and shall have the rights, duties and obligations
of such a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (B) the
Assignor Lender thereunder shall be a Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment
and Loans as set forth on Attachment 1 to such Assignment Agreement or, if the
Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans of the Assignor Lender have been reduced to
$0, the Assignor Lender shall cease to be a Lender and to have any obligation to
make any Loan; provided, however, that any such Assignor Lender which ceases to
be a Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of any provision of
this Agreement which by its terms survives the termination of this Agreement. 
Each Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to amend Schedule I to the extent, and
only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of each Assignee Lender,
the deletion of each Assignor Lender which reduces its Revolving Loan Commitment
and Loans to $0 and the resulting adjustment of Revolving Loan Commitment and
Loans arising from the purchase by each Assignee Lender of all or a portion of
the rights and obligations of an Assignor Lender under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.  On or prior to the Assignment Effective Date determined
pursuant to each Assignment Agreement, the Borrowers, at their own expense,
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, in exchange for the
surrendered Revolving Loan Note of the Assignor Lender thereunder, a new
Revolving Loan Note to each Assignee Lender thereunder that requests such a note
(with each new Revolving Loan Note to be in an amount equal to the Revolving
Loan Commitment assumed by such Assignee Lender) and, if the Assignor Lender is
continuing as a Lender hereunder, a new Revolving Loan Note to the Assignor
Lender if so requested by such Assignor Lender (with the new Revolving Loan Note
to be in an amount equal to the Revolving Loan Commitment retained by it).  Each
such new Revolving Loan Note shall be dated the Closing Date, and each such new
Note shall otherwise be in the form of the Note replaced thereby.  The Notes
surrendered by the Assignor Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent
to the Borrowers marked “Replaced”.  Each Assignee Lender which was not
previously a Lender hereunder and which is not organized under the laws of the
United States or a state thereof shall, within three (3) Business Days of
becoming a Lender, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (A) two
duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or
W-8ECI (or successor applicable form), as the case may be, certifying in each
case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement
without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes or
(B) in the case of a Lender that is a Non-Bank Lender, (i) a Non-Bank
Certificate and (ii) two accurate and complete original signed copies of United
States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio
interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement
as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with
respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement, but only if and
to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do so and if such

 

116

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

 

Lender is unable to, such Lender (other than an assignee pursuant to a request
by the Borrowers under Section 2.15) shall not be entitled to indemnification
for Taxes under Section 2.12 greater than that to which its assignor was
entitled immediately preceding such Assignment.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Wells
Fargo assigns all of its Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans pursuant to
subsection (c) above, Wells Fargo may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers
and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon five Business Days’
notice to the Borrowers, terminate the Swing Line.  In the event of any such
resignation as L/C Issuer or termination of the Swing Line, the Borrowers shall
be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing
Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrowers to
appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Wells Fargo as L/C
Issuer or the termination of the Swing Line, as the case may be.  Wells Fargo
shall retain all the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer hereunder with
respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its
resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto
(including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund
participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.02(c)).  If Wells
Fargo terminates the Swing Line, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing
Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it
and outstanding as of the effective date of such termination, including the
right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund participations in
outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.03(c).

 

(d)           Register.  The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address
referred to in Section 8.01 a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it
and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses
of the Lenders and the Revolving Loan Commitment or Loans of each Lender from
time to time.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the
Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall
be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(e)           Registration.  Upon its receipt of an Assignment Agreement
executed by an Assignor Lender and an Assignee Lender (and, to the extent
required by Section 8.05(c), by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent)
together with payment to the Administrative Agent by Assignor Lender of a
registration and processing fee of $3,500, the Administrative Agent shall
(i) promptly accept such Assignment Agreement and (ii) on the Assignment
Effective Date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained
therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to
the Lenders and the Borrowers.  The Administrative Agent may, from time to time
at its election, prepare and deliver to the Lenders and the Borrowers a revised
Schedule I reflecting the names, addresses and respective Revolving Loan
Commitment or Loans of all Lenders then parties hereto (and in any event
Schedule I shall be deemed amended to reflect any assignment consummated
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or upon any Lender becoming a party to
this Agreement by any other means (including pursuant to a joinder as
contemplated by Section 2.01(b)).

 

117

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

 

(f)            Confidentiality.  Subject to Section 8.10, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders may disclose the Loan Documents and any financial or other
information relating to the Loan Parties to each other or to any potential
Participant or Assignee Lender.

 

(g)           Pledges to Federal Reserve Banks; Other Pledges of Notes. 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any
time assign all or a portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank.  No such assignment shall relieve the
assigning Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.  In the case of any Lender that is a Fund, such Lender may (i) assign
or pledge all or any portion of the Loans held by it (and Notes evidencing such
Loans) to the trustee under any indenture to which such Lender is a party in
support of its obligations to the trustee for the benefit of the applicable
trust beneficiaries, or (ii) pledge all or any portion of the Loans held by it
(and Notes evidencing such Loans) to its lenders for collateral security
purpose; provided, however, no such pledgee under clause (i) or (ii) shall
become a Lender hereunder (by foreclosure, transfer in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise) unless and until it complies with the assignment provisions of this
Agreement to become a Lender hereunder and has received all consents required
hereunder.

 

(h)           True Sale.  All participations in the Obligations or any portion
thereof, whether pursuant to provisions hereof or otherwise, are intended to be
“true sales” for purposes of financial reporting in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 140.  Accordingly, the L/C Issuer or any
Lender that sells or is deemed to have sold a participation in the Obligations
(including any participations in Letters of Credit and/or Loans, any
participations described in clause (b) above and any participations under
Section 2.10(b)) (each a “Participation Seller”) hereby agrees that if such
Participation Seller receives any payment in respect of the Obligations to which
such participation relates through the exercise of setoff by such Participation
Seller against the Borrowers or any other obligor, then such Participation
Seller agrees to promptly pay to the participating party in such participation
such participant’s pro rata share of such setoff (after giving effect to any
sharing with the Lenders under Section 2.10(b) hereof).

 

(i)            Additional Forms.  If required by applicable Governmental
Rules or otherwise deemed prudent by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and
each Lender shall prepare, execute and deliver a completed Form U-1 (or
Form G-3, as applicable) for each Lender (and, if applicable, for each
Participant, in which case the applicable Lender shall cause its Participant to
satisfy the requirements of this Section).

 

8.06.        Setoff; Security Interest.

 

(a)           Setoffs By Lenders.  In addition to any rights and remedies of the
Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, with the prior
consent of the Administrative Agent but without prior notice to or consent of
the Borrowers, any such notice and consent being expressly waived by the
Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable Governmental Rules, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to set-off and
apply against the Obligations any amount owing from such Lender to the
Borrowers.  The aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender
against the Borrowers or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in
possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver or execution,

 

118

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

 

judgment or attachment creditor of the Borrowers or against anyone else claiming
through or against the Borrowers or such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in
possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution,
judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of
set-off may not have been exercised by such Lender at any prior time.  Each
Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers after any such set-off and
application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

 

(b)           Security Interest.  As security for the Obligations, the Borrowers
hereby grant to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, a continuing security interest in any and
all deposit accounts or moneys of the Borrowers now or hereafter maintained with
such Lender.  Each Lender shall have all of the rights of a secured party with
respect to such security interest.

 

8.07.        No Third Party Rights.  Nothing expressed in or to be implied from
this Agreement is intended to give, or shall be construed to give, any Person,
other than the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns
hereunder, any benefit or legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
virtue of this Agreement or under or by virtue of any provision herein.

 

8.08.        Partial Invalidity.  If at any time any provision of this Agreement
is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law or
any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement nor the legality, validity or
enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall
in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

8.09.        Jury Trial.  EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE LENDERS AND THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE GOVERNMENTAL
RULES, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ANY ISSUE
RELATING HERETO IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

 

8.10.        Confidentiality.  None of the Administrative Agent, the Lead
Arranger or any Lender shall disclose to any Person any Confidential
Information, except that the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and any
Lender may disclose any such information (a) to its own directors, officers,
employees, auditors, counsel and other advisors and to its Affiliates; (b) to
the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger or any other Lender; (c) which is
otherwise known or available to the public or which is otherwise known to the
receiving party prior to the time such Confidential Information was delivered to
the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger or any Lender; (d) if required or
appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any Governmental
Authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent,
the Lead Arranger or such Lender (including as required in connection with
pledges and assignments permitted under Section 8.05(g)); (e) if required in
response to any summons or subpoena; (f) in connection with any enforcement by
the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger or the Lenders of their rights under
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any litigation among the parties
relating to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated

 

119

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

 

thereby; (g) to comply with any Requirement of Law applicable to the
Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger or such Lender; (h) to any Assignee
Lender or Participant or any prospective Assignee Lender or Participant;
provided that such Assignee Lender or Participant or prospective Assignee Lender
or Participant agrees to be bound by the provisions of (or provisions
substantially similar to) this Section 8.10; or (i) otherwise with the prior
consent of such Loan Party; provided, however, that any disclosure made in
violation of this Agreement shall not affect the obligations of the Loan Parties
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Nothing in this Section 8.10
shall limit the use of any Platform as described in Section 8.01(b).

 

8.11.        Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of
identical counterparts, any set of which signed by all the parties hereto shall
be deemed to constitute a complete, executed original for all purposes. 
Transmission by facsimile, “pdf” or similar electronic copy of an executed
counterpart of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute due and sufficient
delivery of such counterpart.  Any party hereto may request an original
counterpart of any party delivering such electronic counterpart.

 

8.12.        Consent to Jurisdiction.  Each of the parties to this Agreement
irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State
of Nevada and the courts of the United States located in Nevada and agrees that
any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be brought against such party
in any such courts.  In addition, the Borrowers irrevocably submit to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of any State (each a “Real Property
State”) where any real property described in any Real Property Security
Agreement is located and the courts of the United States located in any such
Real Property State and agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding arising
out of or relating to any Real Property Security Agreement related to real
property located in a Real Property State may be brought against such party in
any such courts in such Real Property State.  Final judgment against any party
in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced
in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment, a certified or exemplified
copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the judgment, or in any other
manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Section 8.12 shall affect the right of
any party to commence legal proceedings or otherwise sue any other party in any
other appropriate jurisdiction, or concurrently in more than one jurisdiction,
or to serve process, pleadings and other papers upon any other party in any
manner authorized by the laws of any such jurisdiction.  The Borrowers agree
that process served either personally or by registered mail shall, to the extent
permitted by law, constitutes adequate service of process in any such suit. 
Each of the parties to this Agreement irrevocably waives to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Governmental Rules (a) any objection which it may have
now or in the future to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or
proceeding in any court referred to in the first sentence above; (b) any claim
that any such action, suit or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient
forum; (c) its right of removal of any matter commenced by any other party in
the courts of the State of Nevada or any Real Property State or to any court of
the United States; (d) any immunity which it or its assets may have in respect
of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document from any
suit, execution, attachment (whether provisional or final, in aid of execution,
before judgment or otherwise) or other legal process; and (e) any right it may
have to require the moving party in any suit, action or proceeding brought in
any of the courts referred to above arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document to post security for the costs of any party
or to post a bond or to take similar action.

 

120

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

 

8.13.        Relationship of Parties.  The relationship between the Borrowers,
on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other, is,
and at all times shall remain, solely that of borrowers and lenders.  Neither
the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall under any circumstances be
construed to be partners or joint venturers of the Borrowers or any of their
Affiliates; nor shall the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent under any
circumstances be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a
fiduciary relationship with the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates, or to owe
any fiduciary duty to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates.  The Lenders and
the Administrative Agent do not undertake or assume any responsibility or duty
to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates to select, review, inspect,
supervise, pass judgment upon or otherwise inform the Borrowers or any of their
Affiliates of any matter in connection with its or their property, any security
held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the operations of the
Borrowers or any of their Affiliates.  The Borrowers and each of their
Affiliates shall rely entirely on their own judgment with respect to such
matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply
of information undertaken or assumed by any Lender or the Administrative Agent
in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of the Lenders and
the Administrative Agent and neither the Borrowers nor any of their Affiliates
is entitled to rely thereon.

 

8.14.        Time.  Time is of the essence as to each term or provision of this
Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents.

 

8.15.        Waiver of Punitive Damages.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrowers hereby agree that they shall
not seek from the Lenders or the Administrative Agent punitive damages under any
theory of liability.

 

8.16.        USA PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that
pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain,
verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information
includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will
allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Patriot Act.

 

8.17. Waivers and Agreements of Borrowers.  While not intended by the parties
hereto, if it is determined that any Borrower is a surety of another Borrower:

 

(a)           Without limiting the provisions of Section 1.13, the covenants,
agreements and obligations of each Borrower set forth herein are joint and
several and shall be primary obligations of such Borrower, and such obligations
shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall remain in full force
and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any
way affected by, any circumstance or condition whatsoever, foreseeable or
unforeseeable.

 

(b)           Each Borrower hereby waives (i) any right of redemption with
respect to the Collateral after the sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of
marshalling of the Collateral or other collateral or security for the
Obligations and (ii) any right (except as shall be required by applicable
statute and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender
to (A) proceed against the other Borrowers or any other Person, (B) proceed
against or exhaust any other collateral or security for any of the Obligations
or (C) pursue any remedy in the

 

121

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

 

Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s power whatsoever.  Each Borrower hereby
waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the other Borrowers
or any other Person other than payment in full of the Obligations, including,
without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the
other Borrowers or any other Person, or the enforceability of the Obligations or
any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the
liability of the other Borrowers other than payment in full of the Obligations. 
The Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any security held by
the Administrative Agent by one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, whether
or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent
such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy
the Administrative Agent may have against the other Borrowers or any other
Person, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability
of any Borrower hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid in
full.  Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election
of remedies by the Administrative Agent, even though that election of remedies,
such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed
obligation, has destroyed such Borrower’s rights of subrogation and
reimbursement against the other Borrowers.

 

8.18.        Clarification.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the
parties hereto understand and agree that Wells Fargo is acting in various
capacities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and therefore shall
be permitted to fulfill its roles and manage its various duties hereunder in
such manner as Wells Fargo sees fit and, for the avoidance of doubt, in lieu of
sending notices to itself when acting in different capacities Wells Fargo may
keep internal records regarding all such communications, notices and actions
related to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with its
past practice.

 

8.19.        Costs to Prevailing Party.  If any action or arbitration proceeding
is brought by any party against any other party under this Credit Agreement or
any of the Loan Documents, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover
such costs and attorney’s fees as the court or the arbitrator in such action or
proceeding may adjudge as appropriate.

 

8.20.        Consent to Release of Lithia Property.  The Administrative Agent
and the Lenders hereby consent to (i) the release of the Collateral described in
that certain Deed of Trust with Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and
Fixture Filing, dated as of September 16, 2009, executed by Golden Road in favor
of the Administrative Agent and recorded in Washoe County as Document #3802185
and (ii) the execution of and the authorization of filing by the Administrative
Agent of any releases, reconveyances, terminations and similar documents to
effect to the foregoing.  Such consent is a one-time consent and shall only
apply to the matter set forth in this Section 8.20.

 

8.21.        Notes.  Each of the lenders party to the Existing Credit Agreement
hereby agrees to return its Revolving Credit Note (as defined in the Existing
Credit Agreement) marked “cancelled” to the Borrowers after receipt by such
lender of its Revolving Loan Note under this Agreement.  The Swing Line Lender
hereby agrees to return its Swingline Note (as defined in the Existing Credit
Agreement) marked “cancelled” to the Borrowers after receipt by the Swing Line
Lender of its Swing Loan Note under this Agreement.

SCHEDULE OF LITIGATION

 

None, other than the Kerzner Litigation as described below.

 

On February 3, 1996, Monarch entered into a license agreement with Atlantis
Motor Lodge, Inc. (ALodge@) that allowed Monarch to use the name AAtlantis@A for
lodging services in the state of Nevada.  (Lodge owned the federal registration
for the mark Atlantis in the lodging category.)  Subsequently, Lodge sold its
AAtlantis@ mark federal registration to Kerzner International, Inc. (AKerzner@)
subject to Monarch=s license, causing Monarch to become the licensee of
Kerzner.  That license remains active and enforceable to date.  However, as
disclosed elsewhere, Kerzner and Monarch are in on-going litigation regarding
the mark AAtlantis@ as it pertains to casino/gambling.  As part of the
settlement of that lawsuit, the parties are negotiating with regard to a
potential global cross-licensing agreement that may subsume the existing
licensing agreement for lodging.

GUARANTY AGREEMENT

 

This GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “Guaranty”), dated as of [            ], 20[    ],
is made by [                                                                ]
and each of the other entities which becomes a party hereto pursuant to
Section 4.15 hereof (each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) in
favor of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Wells Fargo”), for itself and
as the administrative agent on behalf of the Lenders (which for the avoidance of
doubt includes the L/C Issuer) and as collateral agent for the other Lender
Parties (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below)
(in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the
“Administrative Agent”).

 

A.            Each Guarantor is in the same corporate family as Monarch Casino &
Resort, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parent”), Golden Road Motor Inn, Inc., a
Nevada corporation (“Golden Road”), Monarch Growth Inc., a Nevada corporation
(“MGI” and together with Parent, Golden Road and, from and after the Acquisition
Closing Date, Riviera Black Hawk, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Acquired
Company”), each a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”).

 

B.            The Borrowers have entered into that certain Second Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November [    ], 2011 (as the same from
time to time hereafter may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the
“Credit Agreement”) by and among the Borrowers, the Lenders and Wells Fargo, as
administrative agent for the Lenders, L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, pursuant
to which the Lenders have agreed to extend loans and other financial
accommodations to the Borrowers for the purposes, and on the terms and subject
to the conditions, set forth in the Credit Agreement. In addition, certain of
the Lender Parties may, from time to time, enter into Lender Rate Contracts with
one or more of the Borrowers or provide Lender Bank Products to one or more of
the Borrowers.

 

C.            The Lender Parties are willing to make and maintain loans and
other financial accommodations to the Borrowers on and after the date of the
Credit Agreement, but only upon the condition, among others, that the Guarantors
shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty to the Administrative Agent.

 

D.            To induce the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties, their
respective successors and assigns and each other party from time to time that
becomes a Lender Party under the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Guarantied
Parties”) to enter into, and to extend credit under, the Credit Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor has
agreed to guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined below) upon the terms
and conditions of this Guaranty.

 

E.            Each Guarantor has obtained and may continue to obtain working
capital and loans needed for its operations from the Borrowers, and the
Borrowers will obtain funds to provide or lend to such Guarantors from the
Lender Parties under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  In
addition, all Guarantors expect to realize direct and indirect benefits as the
result of the availability of the aforementioned credit facilities to the
Borrowers, as the

 

K-1

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

 

result of financial or business support which will be provided to the Guarantors
by the Borrowers.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1.  DEFINITIONS.

 

1.01.                     Definitions.

 

(a)                                 Definitions.  Unless otherwise defined
herein, all capitalized terms used in this Guaranty that are defined in the
Credit Agreement (including those terms incorporated by reference) shall have
the respective meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.  In addition,
the following terms shall have the following meanings under this Guaranty:

 

“Bankruptcy Code” shall mean Title 11 of the United States Code.

 

“Guaranteed Obligations” shall mean (a) any and all Obligations of the
Borrowers, (b) any and all obligations of the Borrowers for the performance of
their agreements, covenants and undertakings under or in respect of the Loan
Documents, and (c) any and all other obligations of the Borrowers for the
payment of all amounts, liabilities and indebtedness (whether for principal,
interest, reimbursement, fees, charges, indemnification or otherwise) now or in
the future owed to the Administrative Agent, the other Guarantied Parties or any
such Person individually, and for the performance by the Borrowers of their
agreements, covenants and undertakings, in each case under or in respect of any
and all of the Loan Documents, including the Lender Rate Contracts and all
documents relating to the Lender Bank Products, it being acknowledged by each
Guarantor that such other obligations may arise or be created, incurred or
assumed at any time and from time to time and in such manner and such
circumstances and with such terms and provisions as the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent, the other Guarantied Parties or any such Person
individually may agree without notice or demand of any kind or nature whatsoever
to the Guarantors.  The Guaranteed Obligations shall include interest accruing
at the then applicable rate provided in the Credit Agreement or in the other
Loan Documents after the maturity thereof and interest accruing at the then
applicable rate provided in the Credit Agreement or in the other Loan Documents
after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any
insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to any Loan Party
thereunder or any Obligor whether or not a claim for post-filing or
post-petition interest is allowed or allowable in such proceeding.  Each
Guarantor acknowledges that some extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement
and the other Loan Documents may be available on a revolving basis.

 

“Obligor” shall mean any additional or separate guarantor, surety or other
Person that is directly or indirectly liable for all or a portion of the
Guaranteed Obligations or who has provided security for the Guaranteed
Obligations.

 

K-2

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

 

1.02.       Interpretation.  The rules of interpretation set forth in Article I
of the Credit Agreement shall, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of
this Guaranty, apply to this Guaranty and are hereby incorporated by reference.

 

SECTION 2.  THE GUARANTEE.

 

2.01.                     Guarantee Provisions.

 

(a)                                 Guarantee.  Each Guarantor hereby
absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the timely payment in
full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and
performance of the Guaranteed Obligations in each case strictly in accordance
with their terms.  Each Guarantor hereby further agrees that if the Borrowers
shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration
or otherwise) all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, such Guarantor will
immediately pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in
the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of all or any part of
the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be timely paid in full when due
(whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with
the terms of such extension or renewal.  This Guaranty is absolute, irrevocable
and unconditional in nature and is made with respect to any and all Guaranteed
Obligations now existing or in the future arising.  Each Guarantor’s liability
under this Guaranty shall continue until indefeasible payment in cash of all
Guaranteed Obligations.  This Guaranty is a guarantee of due and punctual
payment and performance and not of collectibility.

 

(b)                                 Savings Clause.  As to any Guarantor, if
under any applicable law (including without limitation state and Federal
fraudulent transfer laws) the obligations of such Guarantor under
Section 2.01(a) would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or
unenforceable or if the claims of the Guarantied Parties in respect of such
obligations would be subordinated to the claims of any other creditors on
account of such Guarantor’s liability under Section 2.01(a), then,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, the amount
of the liability of such Guarantor shall, without any further action by the
Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, any other Guarantied Party or any other
Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount which is
valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as
determined in such action or proceeding.  Each Guarantor agrees that it has
obtained and will continue to obtain working capital and loans needed for its
operations from the Borrowers, and the Borrowers will obtain funds to provide
and lend to such Guarantors from the Lender Parties under the Credit Agreement
and the other Loan Documents.  In addition, all Guarantors expect to realize
direct and indirect benefits as the result of the availability of the
aforementioned credit facilities to the Borrowers, as the result of financial or
business support which will be provided to the Guarantors by the Borrowers.

 

(c)                                  Joint and Several Obligations.  The

respect to) all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any collateral

of the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties under the Loan
Documents or otherwise in such order and such manner as the Administrative Agent

necessity to proceed upon or against or exhaust any collateral, right, remedy,
power or privilege before proceeding to call upon or otherwise enforce this
Guaranty as to such Guarantor;

to such liens or exercise any right of set-off;

 

(xiii)        obtain the appointment of a receiver with respect to any
collateral for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations and apply the
proceeds of such receivership as the Administrative Agent or any other

its option);

Section 2.02(a).

 

(b)                                 The enforceability and effectiveness of this
Guaranty and the liability of such Guarantor, and the rights, remedies, powers
and privileges of the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties,
under this Guaranty shall not be affected, limited, reduced, discharged or
terminated, and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives any defense now or in the
future arising (other than a defense that the Guaranteed Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid in full in cash), by reason of:

 

(i)            the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of all or any part
of the Guaranteed Obligations, any Loan Document or any agreement, security
document, guarantee or other instrument relative to all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations;

 

K-5

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

 

(ii)           any disability or other defense with respect to all or any part
of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrowers, or any Obligor with respect to
all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any issuer of any
letters of credit), including the effect of any statute of limitations that may
bar the enforcement of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or the
obligations of any such Obligor;

 

(iii)          the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any security or
guarantee (including any letter of credit) for all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of the
priority of any lien on any collateral for all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations;

 

(iv)          the cessation, for any cause whatsoever (including, without
limitation, release, expiration, termination or the unenforceability of the

Party or any Obligor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (other
than, subject to Section 2.05, by reason of the full payment and performance of
all Guaranteed Obligations);

 

(v)           any failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied
Party to marshal assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person (including
any Obligor), to exhaust any collateral for all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations, to pursue or exhaust any right, remedy, power or privilege it may
have against the Borrowers, any other Loan Party, any Obligor with respect to
all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any issuer of any
letter of credit) or any other Person or to take any action whatsoever to
mitigate or reduce such or any other liability of such Guarantor under this
Guaranty, none of the Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied Party being
under any obligation to take any such action notwithstanding the fact that all
or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations may be due and payable and that the
Borrowers may be in default of their obligations under any Loan Document;

 

(vi)          any failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied
Party to give notice of sale or other disposition of any collateral (including
any notice of any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale of any interest in
real property serving as collateral for all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations) for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Borrowers,
such Guarantor or any other Person (including any Obligor) or any defect in, or
any failure by such Guarantor or any other Person to receive, any notice that
may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of any collateral;

 

(vii)         any failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied
Party to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other
disposition of any collateral for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(viii)        any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale of, or other
election of remedies with respect to, any interest in real property or other
collateral serving as security for all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations, even though such foreclosure, sale or election of remedies may
impair the subrogation rights of such Guarantor or may preclude such Guarantor
from obtaining reimbursement, contribution, indemnification or other recovery
from the Borrowers, any Obligor or any other Person and even though the
Borrowers may not, as a result of such foreclosure, sale or election of
remedies, be liable for any deficiency;

 

K-6

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

 

(ix)          any act or omission of the Administrative Agent, any other
Guarantied Party or any other Person that directly or indirectly results in or
aids the discharge or release of any Borrower, any Loan Party or any Obligor of
all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security or guarantee for
all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations by operation of law or otherwise;

 

(x)           any law which provides that the obligation of a surety or
guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome
than that of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation
in proportion to the principal obligation;

 

(xi)          the possibility that the obligations of the Borrowers to the
Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties may at any time and from
time to time exceed the aggregate liability of such Guarantor under this
Guaranty;

 

(xii)         any counterclaim, set-off or other claim which any Borrower, any
Loan Party, any Obligor or any other Person has or alleges to have with respect
to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(xiii)        any failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied
Party to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with

Party in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, of the application or
nonapplication of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code;

 

(xv)         any extension of credit or the grant of any Lien under Section 364
of the Bankruptcy Code;

Code;

 

(xvii)       any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of
adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person;

against any Person, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against
collecting, all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (or any interest on
all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations) in or as a result of any such
proceeding;

 

(xx)         any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of
any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Obligor;

 

(xxi)        any action taken by the Administrative Agent or any other

authorized by this

 

K-7

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

 

Section 2.02 or otherwise in this Guaranty or by any other provision of any Loan
Document or any omission to take any such action; or

 

(xxii)       any other circumstance whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to
any of the foregoing, that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, including without limitations,
the benefits of Nevada Revised Statutes §§ 40.430 — 40.459, 40.475 and 40.485.

 

(c)                                  Each Guarantor hereby waives (i) any right
of redemption with respect to the collateral or security for the Guaranteed
Obligations or for this Guaranty after the sale thereof, and all rights, if any,
of marshalling of the collateral or security for the Guaranteed Obligations or
for this Guaranty, (ii) any right (except as shall be required by applicable
statute and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent or any other
Guarantied Party to pursue any remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any other
Guarantied Party’s power whatsoever, (iii) presentment, demand, notice of
dishonor, protest, notice of protest and all other notices whatsoever with
respect to the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations or the
amount thereof or any payment or performance by any Guarantor hereunder and
(iv) all rights to revoke this Guaranty at any time, and all rights to revoke
any agreement executed by such Guarantor at any time to secure the payment and
performance of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty.

 

(d)                                 Each Guarantor waives all rights and
defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent and
the other Guarantied Parties, even though that election of remedies, such as a
nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to collateral or security for the
Guaranteed Obligations, has destroyed such Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and
reimbursement against the principal.

 

(e)                                  Each Guarantor expressly waives, for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties, all
set-offs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or
performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of
protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or
nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of
acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation, incurring or
assumption of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations.  Each Guarantor further
expressly waives the benefit of any and all statutes of limitation and any and
all laws providing for the exemption of property from execution or for valuation
and appraisal upon foreclosure, to the maximum extent not prohibited by
applicable law.

 

(f)                                   Each Guarantor represents and warrants to
the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties that it has
established adequate means of obtaining financial and other information
pertaining to the business, operations and condition (financial and otherwise)
of the Borrowers and their properties on a continuing basis and that such
Guarantor is now and will in the future remain fully familiar with the business,
operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of the Borrowers and their
properties.  Each Guarantor further represents and warrants that it has reviewed
and approved each of the Loan Documents and is fully familiar with the
transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that it will in the future
remain fully familiar with such transaction and with any new Loan Documents and
the transactions

 

K-8

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

 

contemplated by such Loan Documents.  Each Guarantor hereby expressly waives and
relinquishes any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or the other
Guarantied Parties (should any such duty exist) to disclose to the such
Guarantor or any other Obligor any matter of fact or other information related
to the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Borrowers or their properties or to any Loan Document or the transactions
undertaken pursuant to, or contemplated by, any such Loan Document, whether now
or in the future known by the Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied
Party.

 

(g)           Each Guarantor intends that its rights and obligations shall be
those expressly set forth in this Guaranty and that its obligations shall not be
affected, limited, reduced, discharged or terminated by reason of any principles
or provisions of law which conflict with the terms of this Guaranty.

 

(h)           Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that there may be
additional guaranty or security agreements or similar documents executed by
other Obligors in respect of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations and
the existence of any such guaranty or security agreement or similar document
shall not in any way impair, reduce or limit such Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder.

 

(i)                                     Without limiting the generality of any
other provision hereof, each Guarantor agrees that, in the event of the
dissolution or insolvency of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any Obligor or the
inability of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any Obligor to pay its debts as they
mature, or an assignment by any Borrower, any Guarantor or any Obligor for the
benefit of creditors, or the institution of any proceeding by or against any
Borrower, any Guarantor or any Obligor alleging that any Borrower, any Guarantor
or any Obligor is insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they mature (including
any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief
proceeding), or the appointment of a receiver for, or the attachment, restraint
of or making or levying of any order of court or legal process affecting, the
property of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any Obligor, each Guarantor will pay
to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself and the other Guarantied
Parties forthwith the full amount which would be payable hereunder by such
Guarantor if all of the Guaranteed Obligations were then due and payable,
whether or not such event occurs at a time when any of the Guaranteed
Obligations are otherwise due and payable.

 

2.03.       Understanding With Respect to Waivers and Consents.  Each Guarantor
represents, warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth
in this Guaranty is made voluntarily and unconditionally after consultation with
outside legal counsel and with full knowledge of its significance and
consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense or
right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which
such Guarantor or any other Obligor otherwise may have against the Borrowers,
the Administrative Agent, any other Guarantied Party or any other Person or
against any collateral.  If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties that the
terms of this Guaranty shall control in any and all circumstances, any such
waivers or consents are determined to be unenforceable under applicable law,
such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent not
prohibited by law.

 

K-9

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

 

2.04.       Subrogation.  Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, until the
indefeasible payment in cash and satisfaction in full of all of the Guaranteed
Obligations and the expiration and termination of the commitments of the Lenders
under the Loan Documents, it shall not exercise any right, remedy, power or
privilege, such as any right of subrogation, contribution or indemnity or
related remedy, power or privilege, arising (whether by contract or operation of
law, including under the Bankruptcy Code) against the Borrowers, any other
Guarantor or any Obligor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
collateral or security for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations by
reason of any payment or other performance pursuant to the provisions of this
Guaranty and, if any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of such
rights, remedies, powers or privileges, it shall hold such amount in trust for
the benefit of, and pay the same over to, the Administrative Agent (for the
benefit of the other Guarantied Parties) on account of the Guaranteed
Obligations.  Each Guarantor understands that the exercise by the Administrative
Agent or any other Guarantied Party of any right, remedy, power or privilege
that it may have under the Loan Documents, any agreement, collateral or security
document, guarantee or other instrument relative to all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise may affect or eliminate such Guarantor’s or
any Obligor’s right of subrogation or similar recovery against the Borrowers,
any other Guarantor, any Obligor or any collateral or security and that such
Guarantor may therefore incur partially or totally nonreimbursable liability
under this Guaranty.  Nevertheless, each Guarantor hereby authorizes and
empowers the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties to exercise,
in its or their sole discretion, any combination of such rights, remedies,
powers and privileges.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, no Guarantor shall exercise any rights
of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or other similar rights
against, and no Guarantor shall proceed or seek recourse against or with respect
to any property or asset of, any Borrower or any other Guarantor or Obligor
(including after payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), and each
Guarantor shall be deemed to have waived all such rights and remedies if all or
any portion of the Obligations have been satisfied in connection with an
exercise of remedies in respect of the Equity Securities of such Borrower or
such other Guarantor or Obligor whether pursuant to the Security Documents or
otherwise.

 

2.05.       Reinstatement.  The obligations of each Guarantor under this
Guaranty shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any
reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers, any other Guarantor, any
Obligor or any other Person or any other application of funds (including the
proceeds of any collateral for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations) in
respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be
otherwise restored by any holder of such Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a
result of any proceedings in bankruptcy, reorganization or otherwise and each
Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each other
Guarantied Party on demand for all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees
and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such other
Guarantied Party in connection with such rescission or restoration.

 

2.06.       Remedies.  Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, between it on the one
hand and the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties on the other,
the obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents may be declared to be forthwith (or may become automatically) due and
payable as provided in the Credit Agreement for purposes of Section 2.01
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing

 

K-10

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

 

such declaration (or such obligations becoming due and payable as against the
Borrowers) and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligation being
deemed due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the
Borrowers) shall forthwith become due and payable for purposes of Section 2.01.

 

2.07.       Separate Action.  The Administrative Agent may bring and prosecute a
separate action or actions against each Guarantor (or any one or more of them)
whether or not the Borrowers, any other Guarantor, any Loan Party, any other
Obligor or any other Person is joined in any such action or a separate action or
actions are brought against the Borrowers, any other Guarantor, any Loan Party,
any other Obligor, any other Person, or any collateral or security for all or
any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.  The obligations of each Guarantor
under, and the effectiveness of, this Guaranty are not conditioned upon the
existence or continuation of any other guarantee (including any letter of
credit) of or collateral or security for all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations.

 

2.08.       Subordination.

 

(a)           Each Guarantor agrees that the payment by any Borrower, any other
Loan Party or any Obligor of any indebtedness in favor of such Guarantor (the
“Subordinated Lender”) shall be subordinated and subject to the prior
indefeasible payment in cash in full of all amounts payable by such Borrower,
such other Loan Party or such Obligor under the Credit Agreement or this
Guaranty, as the case may be, and any other Loan Document to which such
Borrower, such other Loan Party or such Obligor is a party (“Senior Debt”) upon
the terms of this Section.

 

(b)           Upon any distribution of assets of any Borrower, a Loan Party or
an Obligor to creditors upon a liquidation or dissolution of such Borrower, such
Loan Party or such Obligor or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
receivership or similar proceeding relating to such Borrower, such Loan Party or
such Obligor or its property, (i) the Administrative Agent and the other
Guarantied Parties shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all Senior
Debt before the Subordinated Lender shall be entitled to receive any payment of
principal of or interest on or any other amounts in respect of Indebtedness of
such Borrower, such Loan Party or such Obligor in favor of the Subordinated
Lender (the “Subordinated Debt”); and (ii) until indefeasible payment in cash in
full of the Senior Debt and the lending commitments under the Loan Documents
shall have terminated, any distribution of assets of any kind or character to
which the Subordinated Lender would otherwise be entitled shall be paid by such
Borrower, such Loan Party or such Obligor or by any receiver, trustee in
bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agents or other person making such payment or
distribution to, or if received by such Borrower, such Loan Party or such
Obligor, shall be held for the benefit of and shall be forthwith paid or
delivered to, the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Administrative
Agent and the other Guarantied Parties, as applicable.

 

(c)           If the Subordinated Lender does not file proper claims or proofs
of claim in the form required in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
receivership or similar proceeding relating to any Borrower, a Loan Party or an
Obligor or its property prior to 45 days before the expiration of the time to
file such claims, then (a) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the
Subordinated Lender shall file such claims and proofs of claim in

 

K-11

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

 

respect of this instrument and execute and deliver such powers of attorney,
assignments and other instruments as are required to enable the Administrative
Agent and the other Guarantied Parties to enforce any and all claims upon or in
respect of the Subordinated Debt and to collect and receive any and all payments
or distributions which may be payable or deliverable at any time upon or in
respect of Subordinated Debt, and (b) whether or not the Subordinated Lender
shall take the action described in the preceding clause (a) the Administrative
Agent and the other Guarantied Parties shall nevertheless be deemed to have such
powers of attorney as may be necessary for them to file appropriate claims and
proofs of claim and otherwise exercise the powers described above.

 

(d)                                 No right of the Administrative Agent or any
other Guarantied Party to enforce the terms of this Section shall be impaired by
any act or failure to act by any Borrower, a Loan Party or an Obligor.  Neither
the terms of this Section nor the rights of the Administrative Agent and the
other Guarantied Parties hereunder shall be affected by any extension, renewal
or modification of the terms of, or the granting of any security in respect of,
any Senior Debt or any exercise or nonexercise of any right, power or remedy
with respect thereto.

 

(e)                                  Until the Senior Debt is paid in full and
the lending commitments under the Loan Documents shall have terminated, the
Subordinated Lender shall not exercise any right of subrogation that it may have
now or hereafter as a result of its performance of this Guaranty.

 

(f)                                   Nothing in this Section shall (i) impair,
as between such Borrower, such Loan Party or such Obligor and the Subordinated
Lender, the obligation of such Borrower, or such Loan Party or such Obligor,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on
Subordinated Debt in accordance with its terms; (ii) affect the relative rights
of the Subordinated Lender and creditors of such Borrower, or such Loan Party or
such Obligor other than the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied
Parties; or (iii) prevent the Subordinated Lender from exercising its available
remedies upon an event of default under the Subordinated Debt, subject to the
rights of the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties to receive
cash, property or other assets otherwise payable to the Subordinated Lender to
the extent set forth in this Section.

 

2.09.       Right to Offset Balances.  Each Guarantor agrees that, in addition
to (and without any limitation of) any right of set-off, banker’s lien or
counterclaim any Guarantied Party may otherwise have, each Guarantied Party
shall be entitled, at its option but only with the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, to offset balances held by it for the account of such
Guarantor at any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, against
any Guaranteed Obligations to such Guarantied Party from and after the
occurrence of an Event of Default (regardless of whether such balances are then
due to such Guarantor).  Any Guarantied Party so entitled shall promptly notify
the applicable Guarantor and the Administrative Agent of any offset effected by
it; provided that such Guarantied Party’s failure to give such notice shall not
affect the validity of such offset or the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder
or under any other Loan Document.

 

K-12

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

 

SECTION 3.  REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE GUARANTORS.  As of
the date hereof and as of the date of each Credit Event, each Guarantor
represents to the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties that
each of the representations and warranties applicable to it under the Credit
Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as if made by such
Guarantor, except to the extent that such representations and warranties
specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and
warranties shall have been true and correct in all material  respects on and as
of such earlier date; provided that, if a representation and warranty is
qualified as to materiality, the materiality qualifier shall be disregarded with
respect to such representation and warranty.  Each Guarantor agrees to comply
with and be bound by each of the covenants, agreements and conditions in the
Credit Agreement applicable to it as if such Guarantor were a party to the
Credit Agreement.

 

SECTION 4.  MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

 

4.01.       No Waiver.  No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any
other Guarantied Party in exercising any remedy, right, power or privilege under
this Guaranty or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver of such
remedy, right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
such remedy, right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of
such remedy, right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other remedy,
right, power or privilege.  The remedies, rights, powers and privileges provided
by this Guaranty are, to the extent not prohibited by law, cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies, rights, powers or privileges provided by the other
Loan Documents or by law.

 

4.02.       Notices.  All notices, requests, demands, consents, instructions or
other communications to or upon the Guarantors or any one of them or the

e-mailed or delivered, if to the Guarantors or any one of them or to the
Administrative Agent, at its respective facsimile number or address set forth
below (or to such other facsimile number or address for any party as indicated
in any notice given by that party to the other parties).  All such notices and
