incurred on the Calculation Date may optionally be determined at an interest
rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank

Period; and (c) notwithstanding clause (a) above, interest on Indebtedness

Agreement or any other Loan Document.

1.03    Accounting Terms.

(a)Generally. All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein
shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including
financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted
pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP applied on
a consistent basis, as in effect from time to time, applied in a manner
consistent with that used in preparing the Audited Financial Statements, except
as otherwise specifically prescribed herein.
(b)Changes in GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP (including conversion to
IFRS as described below) or the application thereof would affect the computation
of any covenant, financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document,
and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith
to amend such covenant, ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent
thereof in light of such change in GAAP or the application thereof (subject to
the approval of the Required Lenders not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed and, in the case of any amendment arising out of an
accounting change described in the definition of Capitalized Leases, not subject
to any amendment fee); provided that, until so amended, (A) such covenant, ratio
or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP or the
application thereof prior to such change therein and (B) the Borrower shall
provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and
other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested
hereunder setting forth a reconciliation in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent between calculations of such covenant,
ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP
or the application thereof. If the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent
that it is required to report under IFRS or has elected to do so through an
early adoption policy, “GAAP” shall mean international financial reporting
standards pursuant to IFRS (provided that after such conversion, the Borrower
cannot elect to report under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles).

1.04    Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate
component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the
number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result
up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest
number).

1.05    Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times
of day shall be references to New York City time (daylight or standard, as
applicable).

50

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

1.06    Timing of Payment or Performance. Unless otherwise specified herein,
when the payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or
obligation is stated to be due or performance required on a day which is not a
Business Day, the date of such payment or performance shall extend to the
immediately succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be
reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

1.07    Currency Equivalents Generally. Any amount specified in this Agreement
(other than in Articles II, IX and X) or any of the other Loan Documents to be
in Dollars shall also include the equivalent of such amount in any currency
other than Dollars, such equivalent amount thereof in the applicable currency to
be determined by the Administrative Agent at such time on the basis of the Spot
Rate (as defined below) for the purchase of such currency with Dollars. For
purposes of this Section 1.07, the “Spot Rate” for a currency means the rate
determined by the Administrative Agent to be the rate quoted by the Person
acting in such capacity as the spot rate for the purchase by such Person of such
currency with another currency through its principal foreign exchange trading
office at approximately 11:00 a.m. on the date two Business Days prior to the
date of such determination; provided that the Administrative Agent may obtain
such spot rate from another financial institution designated by the
Administrative Agent if the Person acting in such capacity does not have as of
the date of determination a spot buying rate for any such currency.

ARTICLE II
LOANS AND PAYMENTS

2.01    The Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each
Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (a “Loan”) in Dollars to the
Borrower on the Closing Date in an aggregate amount equal to its Commitment.
Once repaid or prepaid, the Loans may not be reborrowed.

2.02    Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a)Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s
irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent. Each such notice must be
received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three
Business Days prior to the requested date of any conversion to or continuation
of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base
Rate Loans, (ii) one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing
of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (iii) one Business Day prior to the requested date
of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that if the Borrower
wishes to request Eurodollar Rate Loans having an Interest Period other than
one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of
“Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. four Business Days prior to the requested date
of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, whereupon the Administrative
Agent shall give prompt notice to the Lenders of such request and determine
whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. Not later
than 11:00 a.m., three Business Days before the requested date of such
Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by
all the applicable Lenders. Each notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section
2.02(a) must be made by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan
Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the
Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate
Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans
shall be in a principal amount of $500,000, or a whole multiple of $100,000 in
excess

51

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

thereof. Each Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a
Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation
of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion
or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the
principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type
of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted and (v)
if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the
Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar
Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it
will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. If no election
is received with respect to a Eurodollar Rate Loan by 11:00 a.m. three Business
Days prior to the end of the Interest Period with respect thereto, that
Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be continued at the end of its Interest Period as a
Eurodollar Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month.

(b)Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the Loans. Each
Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent
in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later
than 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01, the Administrative
Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds
as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of
the Borrower on the books of Wells Fargo with the amount of such funds or (ii)
wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions
provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the
Borrower.

(c)Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued
or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate
Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or
the Required Lenders may upon written notice to the Borrower require that no
Loans be converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(d)The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders
of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans
upon determination of such interest rate.

(e)After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type
to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not
be more than seven (or such higher number as is reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent) Interest Periods in effect hereunder.

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

2.05    Prepayments.

(a)    Optional Prepayments and Prepayment Premiums.

(i)Optional Prepayments. Subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section
2.05(a)(i) and the provisions of Section 2.05(a)(ii), the Borrower may, upon
notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily
prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A)
such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00
a.m. (1) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate
Loans and (2) one Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Base Rate
Loans; (B) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal
amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000, in excess thereof; and (C)
any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000, or
a whole multiple of $100,000, in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the
entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify
the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid
and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such
Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt
of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such
prepayment (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage). If such notice is
given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment
amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified
therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all
accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts
required pursuant to Section 3.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower
may not repay Extended Loans unless such prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata
repayment of Existing Loans from which such Extended Loans were converted
(unless such Existing Loans have otherwise been repaid in full). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any notice of prepayment under this Section 2.05(a)(i) may state
that it is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any Debt
Issuance, Permitted Equity Issuance or Disposition, in which case such notice
may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on
or prior to the specified effective date) if such Debt Issuance, Permitted
Equity Issuance or Disposition is not consummated.

(ii)Prepayment Premium. In the event that, on or prior to date that is six
months after the Closing Date, (x) the Borrower makes any prepayment of Loans in
connection with any Repricing Transaction or (y) the Borrower effects any
amendment, supplement or modification hereof or hereto resulting in a Repricing
Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable
account of the Lenders, (I) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium of
1% of the amount of the Loans being prepaid and (II) in the case of clause (y),
a payment equal to 1% of the aggregate amount of the applicable Loans
outstanding immediately prior to such amendment.

(b)    Mandatory Prepayments.

(i)    Disposition. If the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
directly or indirectly Disposes of any assets pursuant to Section 7.05(l) or (o)
which results in the realization by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary
of Net Cash Proceeds, (A) the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal
amount of Loans equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds within two (2) Business
Days of receipt thereof by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary (such
prepayments to be applied as set forth in clause (v) below) or (B) at the option
of the Borrower, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary shall reinvest all
or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful in the business of the
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries within three hundred and sixty-five
(365) days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or, if the Borrower or
such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, has contractually

53

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

committed within 365 days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds to
reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds, 545 days following receipt of such Net Cash
Proceeds); provided that, at the option of the Borrower, any investment in the
business of Borrower or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries made within 180 days
prior to the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, may be deemed to have
been made during such 365-day period; provided that if any such Net Cash
Proceeds are not so reinvested on or prior to the last day of such applicable
reinvestment period, an amount equal to any such Net Cash Proceeds shall within
five (5) Business Days be applied to the prepayment of Loans in accordance with
clause (A) of this Section 2.05(b)(i).

(ii)    Extraordinary Receipt. Upon receipt of any Extraordinary Receipt
resulting in the realization of Net Cash Proceeds by the Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries, (A) the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal
amount of Loans equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds, within fifteen (15)
Business Days of receipt thereof by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary
(such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clause (v) below) or (B) at the
option of the Borrower, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary shall
reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful in the
business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries within three hundred
and sixty-five (365) days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or, if
the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, has contractually
committed within 365 days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds to
reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds, 545 days following receipt of such Net Cash
Proceeds); provided that, at the option of the Borrower, any investment in the
business of Borrower or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries made within 180 days
prior to the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, may be deemed to have
been made during such 365-day period; provided that if any such Net Cash
Proceeds are not so reinvested on or prior to the last day of such applicable
reinvestment period, an amount equal to any such Net Cash Proceeds shall within
five (5) Business Days be applied to the prepayment of Loans in accordance with
clause (A) of this Section 2.05(b)(ii).

(iii)Debt Issuance. Not later than one (1) Business Day following the receipt of
any Net Cash Proceeds of any Debt Issuance by the Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries, the Borrower shall make prepayments of Loans in an
aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.
(iv)Excess Cash Flow. No later than five (5) Business Days after each date on
which the financial statements referred to in Section 6.01(a) have been (or were
required to be) delivered (commencing with the fiscal year ending on or about
December 31, 2015), the Borrower shall make prepayments of Loans in an aggregate
amount equal to (A) the Applicable ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for the
Excess Cash Flow Period ended on the last day of the period covered by such
financial statements minus (B) any voluntary prepayments of Loans pursuant to
Section 2.05(a)(i) during such Excess Cash Flow Period, other than prepayments
of Loans funded with the proceeds of Indebtedness.

54

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

(v)Application of Prepayments. Any prepayments of Loans pursuant to Section
2.05(a)(i) shall be applied to reduce payments required under Section 2.07 on
the Scheduled Repayment Dates as directed by the Borrower and, in the absence of
such direction, in the direct order of maturity. Any prepayments of Loans
pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) shall be applied to the
payments due on the Scheduled Repayment Dates under Section 2.07 first, to any
payments due under Section 2.07 on Scheduled Repayment Dates falling in the 12
months following such prepayment and, second, to the payments due under Section
2.07 on the Scheduled Repayment Dates following such 12-month period and the
final repayment on the Maturity Date on a pro rata basis.

(vi)Rejection Right. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in
writing of any prepayment of Loans required to be made pursuant to Section
2.05(b)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the
date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such
prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such
prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender holding
Loans of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Lender’s
pro rata share of the prepayment. Each Lender may reject (other than with
respect to any mandatory prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iii) from
the incurrence of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to
refinance all or a portion of the Loans) all (but not less than all) of its pro
rata share of such mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined
Proceeds”) of Loans required to be made pursuant to by providing written notice
(each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no
later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) one Business Day after the date of such
Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such
prepayment. If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the
Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection
Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Loans to be rejected, any
such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory
prepayment of Loans. The Borrower may retain any Declined Proceeds remaining
thereafter (such amounts, the “Retained Amounts”).

(vii)Payments. Amounts to be applied pursuant to Sections 2.05(a)(i) and
2.05(b)(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) to the prepayment of Loans shall be applied, as
applicable, first to reduce outstanding Base Rate Loans. Any amounts remaining
after each such application shall be applied to prepay Eurodollar Rate Loans.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of any prepayment of Loans required
under Section 2.05(a)(i) or 2.05(b)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) shall be in excess
of the amount of the Base Rate Loans at the time outstanding (an “Excess
Amount”), only the portion of the amount of such prepayment as is equal to the
amount of such outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be immediately prepaid and, at
the election of the Borrower, such Excess Amount shall be either (A) deposited
in an escrow account on terms satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and applied
to the prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans on the last day of the then
next-expiring Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans; provided that (i)
interest in respect of such Excess Amount shall continue to accrue thereon at
the rate provided hereunder for the Loans which such Excess Amount is intended
to repay until such Excess Amount shall have been used in full to repay such
Loans and (ii) at any time while a Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Collateral Agent may, and upon written direction from the Required Lenders
shall, apply any or all proceeds then on deposit to the payment of such Loans in
an amount equal to such Excess Amount or (B) prepaid immediately, together with
any amounts owing to the Lenders under Section 3.05.

55

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

(c)    This Section 2.05 is subject in all respects, insofar as it relates to
the Collateral, to the Intercreditor Agreement and the rights of the ABL Secured
Parties (as defined therein).

(d)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of Section 2.05(b)(i) or (ii), (A)
to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by a
Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section
2.05(b)(i) (a “Foreign Disposition”), any Extraordinary Receipt resulting in the
realization of Net Cash Proceeds by a Foreign Subsidiary pursuant to Section
2.05(b)(ii) (a “Foreign Extraordinary Receipt”) or any Debt Issuance by a
Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Debt Issuance”) or Excess Cash Flow attributable
to Foreign Subsidiaries (“Foreign ECF”) are prohibited, restricted or delayed by
applicable local law (including but not limited to financial assistance,
corporate benefit restrictions and restrictions on upstreaming of cash
intra-group and the fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of the
relevant Subsidiaries) from being repatriated, upstreamed, transferred as a
dividend or other distribution or otherwise passed on to, or used directly or
indirectly for the benefit of, any of the Loan Parties or any Domestic
Subsidiary (each, a “Repatriation”; with “Repatriated” having a correlative
meaning), the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Foreign ECF so affected will
not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in Section
2.05(b) but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but
only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit Repatriation (provided
that to the extent the Borrower determines in good faith that such actions do
not (A) adversely interfere with the business or management of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, (B) adversely impact the corporate or tax structure of Borrower
and its Subsidiaries or (C) require the expenditure of a material amount of
funds, Borrower and its Subsidiaries will take commercially reasonable actions
available under applicable local law (if any) to permit such Repatriation), and
once such Repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Foreign ECF
is permitted under the applicable local law, such Repatriation will be
immediately effected and such Repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Foreign ECF will
be promptly (and in any event not later than two (2) Business Days after such
Repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a
result thereof) to the repayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(b) to the
extent provided therein and (B) to the extent that the Borrower has determined
in good faith that Repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any
Foreign Disposition, any Foreign Extraordinary Receipt or any Foreign Debt
Issuance or any Foreign ECF would result in a material tax liability (including
withholding tax) or have other adverse tax cost consequences (taking into
account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with
such Repatriation) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Foreign ECF,
including, without limitation, a deemed dividend pursuant to Section 956 of the
Code, the Net Cash Proceeds or Foreign ECF so affected may be retained by the
applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the Repatriation of
such Net Cash Proceeds or Foreign ECF would in the good faith determination of
the Borrower result in a material tax liability or other adverse tax
consequences under applicable local law and once the Borrower determines in good
faith that such Repatriation would not result in such material tax liability or
other adverse tax consequences, such Repatriation will be immediately effected
and such Repatriated Net Cash Proceeds and Foreign ECF will be promptly (and in
any event not later than two (2) Business Days after such Repatriation) applied
(net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the
repayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(b) to the extent provided
therein.

56

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

2.06    [Reserved].

2.07    Repayment of Loans. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent,
for the ratable account of the Lenders (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, the
Incremental Lenders or Additional Lenders in their capacity as such), on the
dates set forth below or, if any such date is not a Business Day, on the
immediately preceding Business Day (each such date, a “Scheduled Repayment
Date”), a principal amount of the Loans (but not, for the avoidance of doubt,
any Incremental Loans or Other Term Loans) equal to the amount set forth
opposite such date (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section
2.05(b)(v)), together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the
principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment. To the
extent not previously paid, all Loans shall be due and payable on the Maturity
Date. The Incremental Loans and Other Term Loans shall be subject to
amortization if and to the extent the same is provided for in the Incremental
Amendment or the Refinancing Amendment relating thereto.

2.08    Interest.

(a)    Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), (i) each Eurodollar Rate
Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each
Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such
Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable
borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Rate.

(b)    (i) (A) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of
Default under Section 8.01(a), and at the request of the Administrative Agent or
the Required Lenders and (B) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of
any Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or (g) (only with respect to the
Borrower or a Significant Subsidiary (or a number of Subsidiaries that,
together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary)), the Borrower shall pay
interest on any overdue amounts at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all
times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Laws.

(ii)    Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on
past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

58

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

(c)    Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be
specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with
the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the
commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.09    Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own
respective accounts, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee
Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable
for any reason whatsoever.

2.10    Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable
Rate. All computations of fees, interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate
is determined by reference to the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a
year of 365 days and actual days elapsed. All other computations of interest
shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which
results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on
the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on
which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof,
for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan
that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section
2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative
Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.11    Evidence of Debt. The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by
one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the
Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records
maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive
absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the
Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any
error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation
of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to any
Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records
maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative
Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative
Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any
Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and
deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall
evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each
Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if
applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

2.12    Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a)    General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without
condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower
hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in
Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date
specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each
Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein)
of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s
Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00
p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any
applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made
by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall
be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be
reflected on computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

59

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

(b)    (i) [Reserved].

(ii)    Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the
time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such
date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not
in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders, severally agrees to repay
to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to
such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day
from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding
the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect
to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error.
(c)    Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder
to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.03(c) are several and
not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment
under Section 11.03(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any
other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no
Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its
Loan or to make its payment under Section 11.03(c).

(d)    Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to
obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute
a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for
any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(e)    Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and
available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal,
interest and fees then due hereunder and the Borrower has not specified the
application of such funds, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment
of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled
thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such
parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal of Loans and other
Obligations then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of principal and other Obligations then owing to
such parties; provided however that the proceeds from the foreclosure of any
Collateral shall be applied as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement;
provided further that this Section 2.12(e) is subject in all respects to Section
8.03.

60

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

2.13    Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If, other than as expressly provided
elsewhere herein, any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations due and
payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time
in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of
such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the
aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the
Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b)
Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according
to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and
payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the
Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under
the other Loan Parties at such time) of payment on account of the Obligations
owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time then the
Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative
Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in
the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be
equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations then due
and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as
the case may be; provided that:

(i)    if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the
payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or
subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the
extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii)    the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A)
any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express
terms of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a Discounted
Voluntary Prepayment) or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration
for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any
assignee or participant, other than (except to the extent constituting a
Discounted Voluntary Prepayment) to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary
thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under applicable Laws, that any Lender acquiring a
participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such
Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the
amount of such participation.
2.14    Discounted Voluntary Prepayments.

(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Prepaying
Borrower Party shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay
Loans at a discount to the par value of such Loans (each, a “Discounted
Voluntary Prepayment”) pursuant to the procedures described in this Section
2.14; provided that (A) any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be offered to
all Lenders on a pro rata basis based on the then outstanding principal amount
of Loans, (B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or
would result from the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment (and the Borrower shall
provide the Administrative Agent a certificate to that effect) and (C) Borrower
provides a certificate of its chief financial officer that Borrower and its
Subsidiaries have no MNPI at the time of the making of the Discounted Voluntary
Prepayment that could reasonably be

61

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

expected to affect a Lender’s decision as to whether to participate in the
Discounted Voluntary Prepayment.

(ii)To the extent a Prepaying Borrower Party seeks to make a Discounted
Voluntary Prepayment, such Prepaying Borrower Party will provide written notice
to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto (each,
a “Discounted Prepayment Option Notice”) that such Prepaying Borrower Party
desires to prepay the Loans in an aggregate principal amount specified therein
by the Prepaying Borrower Party (each, a “Proposed Discounted Prepayment
Amount”), in each case at a discount to the par value of such Loans as specified
below. The Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount of Loans shall not be less than
$15,000,000. The Discounted Prepayment Option Notice shall further specify with
respect to the proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment: (A) the Proposed
Discounted Prepayment Amount of Loans, (B) a discount range (which may be a
single percentage) selected by the Prepaying Borrower Party with respect to such
proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment (representing the percentage of par of
the principal amount of Loans to be prepaid) (the “Discount Range”), and (C) the
date by which Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in
such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment which shall be at least five
Business Days following the date of the Discounted Prepayment Option Notice (the
“Acceptance Date”).

(iii)Upon receipt of a Discounted Prepayment Option Notice in accordance with
Section 2.14(ii), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender
thereof. On or prior to the Acceptance Date, each such Lender may specify by
written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto (each, a “Lender
Participation Notice”) to the Administrative Agent (A) a minimum price (the
“Acceptable Price”) within the Discount Range (for example, 80% of the par value
of the Loans to be prepaid) and (B) a maximum principal amount (subject to
rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent) of Loans with
respect to which such Lender is willing to permit a Discounted Voluntary
Prepayment at the Acceptable Price (“Offered Loans”). Based on the Acceptable
Prices and principal amounts of Loans specified by the Lenders in the applicable
Lender Participation Notice, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the
Prepaying Borrower Party, shall determine the applicable discount for Loans (the
“Applicable Discount”), which Applicable Discount shall be (A) the percentage
specified by the Prepaying Borrower Party if the Prepaying Borrower Party has
selected a single percentage pursuant to Section 2.14(ii) for the Discounted
Voluntary Prepayment or (B) otherwise, the lowest Acceptable Price at which the
Prepaying Borrower Party can pay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount in
full (determined by adding the principal amounts of Offered Loans commencing
with the Offered Loans with the lowest Acceptable Price); provided, however,
that in the event that such Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount cannot be
repaid in full at any Acceptable Price, the Applicable Discount shall be the
highest Acceptable Price specified by the Lenders that is within the Discount
Range. The Applicable Discount shall be applicable for all Lenders who have
offered to participate in the Voluntary Discounted Prepayment and have
Qualifying Loans (as defined below). Any Lender with outstanding Loans whose
Lender Participation Notice is not received by the Administrative Agent by the
Acceptance Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted
Voluntary Prepayment of any of its Loans at any discount to their par value
within the Applicable Discount.

62

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

(iv)The Prepaying Borrower Party shall make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment by
prepaying those Loans (or the respective portions thereof) offered by the
Lenders (“Qualifying Lenders”) that specify an Acceptable Price that is equal to
or lower than the Applicable Discount (“Qualifying Loans”) at the Applicable
Discount; provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all
Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would exceed
the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted
Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the
Applicable Discount, the Prepaying Borrower Party shall prepay such Qualifying
Loans ratably among the Qualifying Lenders based on their respective principal
amounts of such Qualifying Loans (subject to rounding requirements specified by
the Administrative Agent). If the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all
Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would be less
than the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted
Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the
Applicable Discount, the Prepaying Borrower Party shall prepay all Qualifying
Loans.

(v)Each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be made within four Business Days
of the Acceptance Date (or such other date as the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably agree, given the time required to calculate the Applicable Discount
and determine the amount and holders of Qualifying Loans), upon irrevocable
notice substantially in the form of Exhibit L hereto (each a “Discounted
Voluntary Prepayment Notice”), delivered to the Administrative Agent no later
than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), three Business Days prior to the date of
such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, which notice shall specify the date and
amount of the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and the Applicable Discount
determined by the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any Discounted Voluntary
Prepayment Notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant
Lender thereof. If any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice is given, the
amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable to the applicable
Lenders, subject to the Applicable Discount on the applicable Loans, on the date
specified therein together with accrued interest (on the par principal amount)
to but not including such date on the amount prepaid.

(vi)To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Voluntary
Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to reasonable procedures (including as
to timing, rounding and calculation of Applicable Discount in accordance with
Section 2.14(iii) above) established by the Administrative Agent in consultation
with the Borrower.
(vii)Prior to the delivery of a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice, upon
written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Prepaying Borrower Party may
withdraw its offer to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any
Discounted Prepayment Option Notice.

63

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

2.15    Incremental Loans. The Borrower may at any time or from time to time
after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the
Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders),
request additional secured term loans hereunder (such term loans, “Incremental
Loans”); provided that (i) except as otherwise agreed by the Incremental Lenders
providing the Incremental Loans, no Default or Event of Default shall exist or
would exist after giving effect to any Incremental Loans; provided that, in the
event that any tranche of Incremental Loans is used to finance a Permitted
Acquisition or other Asset Acquisition and to the extent the Incremental Lenders
participating in such tranche of Incremental Loans agree, the foregoing clause
(i) shall be subject to customary “Certain Funds Provisions” and only be tested
at the time of the execution of the acquisition agreement related to such
Permitted Acquisition or other Asset Acquisition and the representations and
warranties of the Borrower set forth in this Agreement that must be true and
correct in all material respects (or in all respects to the extent any such
representation or warranty is qualified by materiality or Material Adverse
Effect) shall be limited to “Specified Representations” and “Specified
Acquisition Agreement Representations” (in each case, as reasonably conformed to
such Permitted Acquisition or other Asset Acquisition); (ii) all fees and
expenses owing to the Administrative Agent and the Incremental Lenders in
respect of such Incremental Loans shall have been paid; (iii) all Incremental
Loans borrowed on one Incremental Closing Date shall be in an aggregate
principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000; (iv) after giving effect to
all Incremental Loans previously made hereunder and such proposed Incremental
Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all such previous and proposed
Incremental Loans shall not exceed (A) $275,000,000 less the aggregate principal
amount of all Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred or issued in reliance on this
clause (A) plus (B) an unlimited amount so long as, in the case of this clause
(B), the Secured Leverage Ratio as of the applicable Incremental Closing Date on
a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Incremental Loans does not exceed
3.5 to 1.0, with respect to which the Borrower shall provide to the
Administrative Agent a certificate as to such Secured Leverage Ratio calculated
in reasonable detail on such Incremental Closing Date (it being understood that
unsecured Incremental Loans (or, as applicable pursuant to Section 7.03(m),
unsecured Incremental Equivalent Debt) will be deemed to be secured for purposes
of calculating the Secured Leverage Ratio) plus (C) the amount of any voluntary
prepayment of any Loans (to the extent the relevant prepayment or reduction is
not funded or effected with any Indebtedness) plus (D) in the case of
Incremental Loans that serve to effectively extend the maturity of the Loans, an
amount equal to the reductions in the Loans to be replaced with such Incremental
Loans; (v) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered on the
Incremental Closing Date any legal opinions, board resolutions or other
customary certificates reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in
connection with any Incremental Loans and consistent in form with those
delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 (other than changes to such
legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to
counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent);
(vi) the Incremental Loans may rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and
pari passu or junior with respect to security with the Obligations or may be
unsecured (and to the extent subordinated in right of payment or pari passu or
junior in right of security, shall be subject to intercreditor arrangements
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent); (vii) any mandatory
prepayment (other than scheduled amortization payments) of Incremental Loans
that are pari passu in right of payment and pari passu with respect to security
shall be made on a pro rata basis with all then existing Loans (and all
then-existing Other Term Loans, Incremental Loans or Extended Loans requiring
ratable prepayment), except that the Borrower and the Incremental Lenders in
respect of such Incremental Loans shall be permitted, in their sole discretion,
to elect to prepay or receive, as applicable, any prepayments on a less than pro
rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis); (viii) the material terms
and provisions of Incremental Loans shall not be materially less favorable,
taken as a whole, to the Loan Parties, than the terms and provisions of the
Loans except as may be contemplated by clause (ix), (x) or (xi) below (provided
that such terms and provisions that are not contemplated by such clauses (ix),
(x)

64

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

or (xi) may be different from the Loans to the extent reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent; it being understood that terms and provisions which
are applicable only after the Latest Maturity Date are reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent); (ix) such Incremental Loans shall have a final
maturity that is the same as or later than the Latest Maturity Date; (x) such
Incremental Loans have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity as of the Incremental
Closing Date that is the same as or longer than the Weighted Average Life to
Maturity of the Loans as of the Incremental Closing Date; and (xi) the all-in
yield (whether in the form of interest rate margins, interest rate, original
issue discount, upfront fees, or eurodollar or base rate floors (but not
customary commitment, arrangement, underwriting, ticking, unused line,
structuring or amendment fees), assuming, in the case of original issue discount
and upfront fees, a four-year life to maturity) for such Incremental Loans will
be determined by the Borrower and the Incremental Lenders and will not, in the
case of Incremental Loans that are pari passu in right of payment and pari passu
with respect to security with the Loans, be more than 50 basis points higher
than the corresponding all-in yield (giving effect to interest rate margins,
interest rate, original issue discount, upfront fees and eurodollar and base
rate floors and any amendments to the Applicable Rate in respect of the Loans
that became effective subsequent to the Closing Date but prior to the time of
the addition of the relevant Incremental Loans (but not customary commitment,
arrangement, underwriting, ticking, unused line, structuring or amendment fees)
assuming, in the case of original issue discount and upfront fees, a four-year
life to maturity) for the Loans made on the Closing Date and if the relevant
Incremental Loans include any interest rate floor that is greater than that
applicable to the existing Loans, and such floor is applicable to the existing
Loans on the date of determination, the excess amount shall be equated to
interest margin for determining the applicable interest rate, unless the all-in
yield with respect to such Loans shall be increased as of the Incremental
Closing Date (which increase in yield shall be effected by increasing the
Applicable Rate applicable to such existing Loans) by an amount equal to the
difference between the all-in yield with respect to such Incremental Loans minus
50 basis points and the corresponding all-in yield on such Loans; provided that
this clause (xi) shall only be effective until the date that is 18 months after
the Closing Date. Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15
shall set forth the requested amount of the relevant Incremental Loans and be
delivered at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Incremental
Closing Date, unless the Administrative Agent shall have determined in its sole
discretion to accept such notice on such Incremental Closing Date. Incremental
Loans may be provided by any existing Lender (it being understood that no
existing Lender will have an obligation to provide any Incremental Loans) or by
any other Eligible Assignee (any such Person providing an Incremental Loan, an
“Incremental Lender”). Incremental Loans shall become under this Agreement
pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”), executed by (x) the
Administrative Agent, the consent of which is not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, (y) the Incremental Lenders and (z) the Loan Parties, and
reaffirmations of the Loan Documents executed by the Loan Parties shall be
delivered in connection therewith, in each case in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without
the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable
opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions
of this Section 2.15. The date that any Incremental Loans are made shall be
referred to as the “Incremental Closing Date” with respect to such Incremental
Loans.

65

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

2.16    Refinancing Amendments.

(a)The Borrower may obtain at any time or from time to time after the Closing
Date, from any Lender or any Person approved by both the Borrower and, if not a
Lender, Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, the Administrative Agent
(such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (an “Additional
Lender”) Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any
portion of any Class the Loans (such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness
in respect of any Loans, a “Refinancing Tranche”) then outstanding under this
Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (a) will be deemed to include any
then outstanding Other Term Loans, Incremental Loans or Extended Loans), in the
form of Other Term Loans or Other Term Loan Commitments pursuant to a
Refinancing Amendment (or, in the case such Credit Agreement Refinancing
Indebtedness consists of notes, pursuant to the other agreements referred to in
the last sentence of the definition of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness
and in the case of such notes, the Refinancing Amendment, if entered into, shall
effectuate the purposes set forth in such last sentence of such definition). The
effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the
Administrative Agent’s receipt of customary loan documentation and, to the
extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the
Administrative Agent of customary legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’
certificates and other customary closing certificates, in each case consistent
with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 (other than changes
to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change
to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent), and customary reaffirmation agreements. Each Refinancing Tranche of
Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.16(a)
shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $25,000,000
and (y) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each
Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the
effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed
amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the
existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred
pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and
Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans and/or Other Term Loan
Commitments). The proceeds of any Refinancing Tranche shall be used to repay
Loans of such Class on a pro rata basis.

(b)Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders,
effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be
necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent
and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have
the right (but not the obligation) to seek the advice or concurrence of the
Required Lenders with respect to any matter contemplated by this Section 2.16
and, if either the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent seeks such
advice or concurrence, it shall be permitted to enter into such amendments with
the Borrower in accordance with any instructions actually received by such
Required Lenders and shall also be entitled to refrain from entering into such
amendments with the Borrower unless and until it shall have received such advice
or concurrence; provided, however, that whether or not there has been a request
by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for any such advice or
concurrence, all such amendments entered into with the Borrower by the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be binding and
conclusive on the Lenders.

66

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

(c)This Section 2.16 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13, 2.15 or
11.01 to the contrary.

2.17    Extensions.

(a)The Borrower may at any time, and from time to time, request that all or a
portion of the Loans of any Class (the “Existing Loans”) be converted to extend
the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all
or a portion of any principal amount of such Existing Loans (any such Loans
which have been so converted, “Extended Loans”) and to provide for other terms
consistent with this Section 2.17 (and such request shall be made to all Lenders
holding Loans of such Class). In order to establish any Extended Loans, the
Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a
copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the Existing Loans) (a “Loan
Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms (and principal amount) of
the Extended Loans to be established, which shall be identical to the Existing
Loans from which they are to be converted except (x) the scheduled final
maturity date shall be extended and any or all of the scheduled amortization
payments of the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Loans may be delayed
to later dates than the scheduled amortization of principal of such Existing
Loans (with any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the
scheduled amortization payments reflected in Section 2.07, in the Incremental
Amendment or Refinancing Amendment, as the case may be, with respect to the
Existing Loans from which such Extended Loans were converted, in each case as
more particularly set forth in Section 2.17(b) below) and (y) (A) the Applicable
Rate with respect to the Extended Loans may be higher or lower than the
Applicable Rate for the Existing Loans and/or (B) additional fees may be payable
to the Lenders providing such Extended Loans in addition to or in lieu of any
increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the
extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17, no Extended Loan
may be optionally prepaid other than on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata
basis prior to the date on which all of the Loans of the Class from which such
Extended Loan was converted shall have been repaid in full. No Lender shall have
any obligation to agree to have any of its Existing Loans converted into
Extended Loans pursuant to any Loan Extension Request.

(b)The Borrower shall provide the applicable Loan Extension Request at least
seven (7) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders of the Existing Loans
(the “Existing Lenders”) are requested to respond. Any Lender (an “Extending
Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Existing Loans subject to such
Loan Extension Request converted into Extended Loans shall notify the
Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified
in such Loan Extension Request of the amount of its Existing Loans subject to
such Loan Extension Request that it has elected to convert into Extended Loans;
provided that if any Existing Lenders fail to respond, such Existing Lenders
will be deemed to have declined to extend their Loans. In the event that the
aggregate amount of Existing Loans subject to Extension Elections exceeds the
amount of Extended Loans requested pursuant to the Loan Extension Request,
Existing Loans subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended
Loans on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Existing Loans included in each
such Extension Election.

67

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

(c)Extended Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension
Amendment”) to this Agreement (which, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth in Section 11.01, shall not require the consent of any Lender other
than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Loans established
thereby), which Extension Amendment shall be executed by the Loan Parties and be
consented (such consent to not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) by the
Administrative Agent. No Extension Amendment shall provide for any tranche of
Extended Loans in an aggregate principal amount that is less than $50,000,000
(unless the Administrative Agent shall agree to a lesser amount). In addition to
any terms and changes required or permitted by Section 2.17(a), each Extension
Amendment (x) shall amend the scheduled amortization payments pursuant to
Section 2.07, the applicable Incremental Amendment or Refinancing Amendment with
respect to the Existing Loans from which the Extended Loans were converted to
reduce each scheduled amortization payment for the Existing Loans in the same
proportion as the amount of Existing Loans that shall have been converted
pursuant to such Extension Amendment (but it is understood and agreed that no
holder of any Existing Loan that is not converted into an Extended Loan shall
have its amortization reduced by virtue of the loan extension contemplated by
such Extension Amendment) and (y) may, but shall not be required to, impose
additional requirements (not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement
in effect at such time) with respect to the final maturity and Weighted Average
Life to Maturity of Incremental Loans or Other Term Loans incurred following the
date of such Extension Amendment. Each exercise of the extension feature
referred to in this Section 2.17 shall result in the Extended Loans and the
Existing Loans each being deemed a separate “Class” of Loans, and any Class of
Loans may thereafter be extended in whole or in part pursuant to this Section
2.17 (whether or not such Class had previously been offered an extension
pursuant to this Section 2.17). The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
reasonably request, and the Borrower shall, upon such request deliver, items
similar to those in Sections 4.01(a)(vi) through (xii) with respect to the
transactions contemplated by any Extension Amendment.

ARTICLE III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01    Taxes.

(a)Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

Ai)Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by
applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding
for any Taxes.

68

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

Aii)If any Loan Party or any other applicable withholding agent shall be
required by the Code or other applicable Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes,
including both United States federal backup withholding and withholding Taxes,
from any payment, then (A) the applicable withholding agent shall withhold or
make such deductions as are determined by the applicable withholding agent to be
required, (B) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount
withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
the Code or other applicable Law, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or
deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum
payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that
after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section)
the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal
to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been
required or made.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of
subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.

(c)Tax Indemnifications. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or
(b) above, the Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative
Agent and each Lender, without duplication, and shall make payment in respect
thereof within 10 Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of
any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section)
payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount
of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by
any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01,
such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, the original or a
certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing
such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or
other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent.

(e)Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i)    Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative
Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction
and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not
payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to
withholding or reduction of any Taxes (including FATCA), (B) if applicable, the
required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to
any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of
any payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax
purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse or
time or change in circumstances renders such documentation (including any
specific documents required below in Section 3.01(e)(ii)) obsolete, expired or
inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and

69

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

the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including
any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing
of its inability to do so.

(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A)    any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent on or before the date on which it becomes party to this agreement, two
duly executed, properly completed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9
certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding; and

(B)    each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable
treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to any
payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be
requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender
becomes a Lender under this Agreement, whichever of the following is applicable:

(I)    duly executed, properly completed originals of Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto claiming eligibility for benefits of an
income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(II)    duly executed, properly completed originals of Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto,

(III)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption
for portfolio interest under section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (x) a
properly completed and duly signed certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit O (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y)
duly executed, properly completed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN or any successor thereto,

(IV)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example,
where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), duly
executed, properly completed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY
or any successor thereto of the Foreign Lender, accompanied by an Internal
Revenue Service Form W-9, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN, U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate, Form W-8IMY, or any other required information (or any successor
forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section
3.01(e) if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that, if
the Foreign Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and
not a participant Lender), and one or more beneficial owners are claiming the
portfolio interest exemption, the U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate may be
provided by such Foreign Lender on behalf of such beneficial owners), or,

70

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

(V)    duly executed, properly completed originals of any other form prescribed
by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in
United States federal withholding tax together with such supplementary
documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to
be made.

The Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower with an Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8ECI with respect to fees received on its own behalf and an
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY with respect to amounts received in its
capacity as Administrative Agent.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (e), a Lender shall not be
required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally eligible to
deliver.
(f)Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time
shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise
pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any
refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such
Lender, as the case may be. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a
refund (in cash or as an offset against other Taxes payable) of any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with
respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only
to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the
Borrower under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any
Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and
without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the
request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount
paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed
by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such
Lender if the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to
require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns
(or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to
any Loan Party or any other Person.

3.02    Illegality. If any Lender determines in good faith that any Law has made
it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is
unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or
fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon
the Eurodollar Rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material
restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take
deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by
such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of
such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate
Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such
determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall,
upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay
or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate
Loans, as applicable, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if
such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such
day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such
Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower
shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

71

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

3.03    Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for
any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a
conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being
offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable
amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any
requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or (c)
the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify
the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make
or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative
Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon
receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing
that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, in the amount specified therein.

3.04    Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a)    Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by,
any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e));

(ii)    subject any Lender to any additional Tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Agreement or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the
basis of taxation of payments to such Lender (except for Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes indemnified under Section 3.01 and any Excluded Tax); or

(iii)    impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans
made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to
reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder
(whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon the request of
such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender for such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender be, for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered.

72

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

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

(c)    Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth
the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding
company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this
Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

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

(e)    Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Borrower shall pay to any Lender,
as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to
liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits
(currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the
unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs
of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such
Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be
due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided
the Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a
Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date,
such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such
notice.

73

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

3.05    Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate
such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense
incurred by it as a result of:

(a)    any conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate
Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan
(whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or
otherwise);

(b)    any failure by the Borrower to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any
Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the
Borrower; or

(c)    any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day
of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 11.12.
including any loss of anticipated profits (but excluding the Applicable Rate)
and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds
obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the
deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any
customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the
foregoing.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under
this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar
Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit
or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable
amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was
in fact so funded.
3.06    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)    Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to make any payment
in respect of any indemnification or pay any additional amount to any Lender or
any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section
3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender
shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding
or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder
to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such
Lender such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts
payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or
eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and
(ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower
hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in
connection with any such designation or assignment.

74

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

(b)    Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
3.04, or if the Borrower is required to indemnify or pay any additional amount
to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance
with Section 11.12.

3.07    Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall
survive the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and resignation of the
Administrative Agent.

the provision of any such Lien search and/or the provision and/or perfection of
such Collateral shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability
and initial funding of the Loans on the Closing Date, but instead shall be
provided pursuant to Section 6.18.

78

duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is party hereto and thereto.
This Agreement and each other Loan Document, each constitutes a legal, valid and
binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against each Loan Party that

11.01) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until
notice describing such Default is given to such Agent by Borrower or a Lender.

121

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

No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into
(i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection
herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein
or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition
set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of
items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with
reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to
connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under
agency doctrine of any applicable Laws. Instead, such term us used merely as a
matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an
administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative
Agent may use an outside service provider for the tracking of all UCC financing
statements required to be filed pursuant to the Loan Documents and notification
to the Administrative Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or
expiration thereof, and that any such service provider will be deemed to be
acting at the request and on behalf of Borrower and the other Loan Parties. No
Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service
provider.
9.04    Reliance by Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall
not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate,
consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any
electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution)
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise
authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement
made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the
proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In
determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that
by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the
Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such
Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the
contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each Agent may
consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall be entitled to rely upon
the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts and shall not be liable
for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with such advice.

9.05    Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties
and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by
or through, or delegate any and all such rights and powers to, any one or more
sub agents appointed by such Agent, including a sub-agent which is a non-U.S.
affiliate of such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and
all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their
respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall
apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any
such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection
with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as
activities as Agent.

122

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

9.06    Resignation of Agent. Each Agent may at any time give notice of its
resignation to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the Borrower’s
consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and provided that no such
consent shall be required if (x) an Event of Default pursuant to Section
8.01(a), (f), or (g) (in the case of (f) or (g), with respect to the Borrower or
a Significant Subsidiary (or a number of Subsidiaries that, together, would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary)) shall have occurred and be continuing or
(y) the successor agent to be appointed is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender)
to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United
States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If
no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall
have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives
notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders,
appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above (other than
the consent of Borrower) and such resignation shall nonetheless become effective
in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent
on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring
Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as nominee
until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) all
payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or
through an Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such
time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in
this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent
hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and
the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom
as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by Borrower to a
successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless
otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s
resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this
Article IX and Section 11.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
retiring Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect
of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring
Agent was acting as Agent.

9.07    Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that
it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender
and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender
further represents and warrants that it has had the opportunity to review the
Information Memorandum and each other document made available to it on the
Platform in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the
terms and conditions applicable to the recipients thereof. Each Lender also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or
any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from
time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or
not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or
any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Lender also acknowledges
that the Lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to
the Collateral Documents and the exercise of any right or remedy by the
Collateral Agent thereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor
Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement and the Collateral Documents, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement
shall govern and control.

123

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

9.08    Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Laws, the
Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount
equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. Without limiting or expanding the
provisions of Section 3.01, each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify the
Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within
30 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses,
claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of
any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental
Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly
withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any
reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not
delivered or not property executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the
Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption
from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective). A certificate as to the
amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the
Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender
hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all
amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section
9.08. The agreements in this Section 9.08 shall survive the resignation and/or
replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the
replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all
other Obligations.

9.09    No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
none of the Arrangers, Co-Syndication Agents or Documentation Agent listed on
the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as
applicable, as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or a Lender
hereunder.

9.10    Enforcement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein
or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of
them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in
connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively
by, the Administrative Agent, or as the Required Lenders may require or
otherwise direct, 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) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with, and subject to,
the terms of this Agreement, or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or
appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a
proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any bankruptcy or insolvency law.

124

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

9.11    Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

(a)    Subordination. Each of the Lenders (including in its capacity as a
potential Hedge Bank) irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, at its option
and in its discretion, to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or
held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien
on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(j) or (q);

(b)    Collateral Release. Any Liens on any property granted to or held by the
Collateral Agent under any Loan Document shall be automatically released (i)
upon the payment in full of all Obligations (other than (A) contingent
indemnification obligations and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured
Hedge Agreements), (ii) if such property is sold as part of or in connection
with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to a Person
that is not a Loan Party, (iii) if such property constitutes “Excluded Property”
(as such term is defined in the Security Agreement), or (iv) if approved,
authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 11.01; and

(c)    Guaranty Release. Any Subsidiary of the Borrower shall be automatically
released from its Guaranty of the Obligations (i) if all of the Equity Interests
of such Subsidiary owned by any Loan Party are sold or transferred or such
Subsidiary otherwise ceases to be a Subsidiary of a Loan Party, in each case, in
a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation,
pursuant to a waiver or consent), (ii) upon written notice by the Borrower to
Administrative Agent if such Subsidiary becomes an Excluded Restricted
Subsidiary and (iii) upon the payment in full of all Obligations (other than (A)
contingent indemnification obligations and (B) obligations and liabilities under
Secured Hedge Agreements).

Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will
confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to subordinate its interest
in particular types or items of property pursuant to this Section 9.11. In each
case as specified in this Section 9.11, the Collateral Agent will, and each of
the Lenders (including in its capacity as a potential Hedge Bank) irrevocably
authorizes the Collateral Agent to, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and
deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may
reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the
assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to
subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its
obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms
of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.11.
9.12    Secured Hedge Agreements. No Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of
Section 8.03, any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof
or of any Guaranty or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of
any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under
any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the
release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender
and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents;
provided that the Lenders agree that they will not amend, modify or waive (x)
the provisions of Section 8.03 in a manner that disproportionately and adversely
affects the Hedge Banks as a group or (y) the provisions of any Loan Document in
a manner that disproportionately renders unsecured the Hedge Banks as a group
(it being understood that a release of Liens that is applicable to all Lenders
in accordance with the other provisions of the Loan Documents shall not be
restricted by the terms of this proviso), in the case of each of clauses (x) and
(y), without the consent of Lenders who are, or who are Affiliates of Persons
who are, Hedge Banks holding a majority of the then outstanding Obligations
under the Secured Hedge Agreements (as measured by the Swap Termination Value
thereof). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the
contrary, the

125

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

Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that
other reasonably satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to,
Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative
Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such
supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the
applicable Hedge Bank. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time,
the Hedge Banks shall provide to the Administrative Agent a summary of
outstanding obligations under any Swap Contracts secured by a Lien on any asset
of any Loan Party, as of such date as may be reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent, showing the aggregate amount of such obligations
determined on a marked-to-market basis and such other information reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent. At the request of the Administrative
Agent from time to time, the Hedge Banks shall provide to the Administrative
Agent copies of any Swap Contracts pursuant to which obligations secured by a
Lien on any asset of any Loan Party have been incurred.

11.01    Amendments, Etc. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this
Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any
other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the
Required Lenders and the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may
be, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or
consent shall:

(a)reduce any prepayment premium that may be payable in connection with a
Repricing Transaction without the written consent of each Lender entitled to
such prepayment;

(b)reduce any amortization payment under Section 2.07 without the written
consent of each Lender entitled to such payment;

(c)postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any

(or any of them) hereunder or under such other Loan Document without the written
consent of each Lender entitled to such payment;

126

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

(d)reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest specified herein on,
any Loan, or (subject to clause (ii) of the third proviso to this Section 11.01)
any fees, interest or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan
Document without the written consent of each Lender entitled to such amount (it
being understood that any change in the definitions of any ratio used in the
calculation of such rate of interest or fees (or the component definitions)
shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees); provided,
however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to
waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate;

(e)change Section 8.03 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of
payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender adversely
affected thereby;

(f)change any provision of this Section 11.01 or the definition of “Required
Lenders” without the written consent of each Lender;

(g)release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or

and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Hedge Agreements) have been

(h)release all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranties, without the
written consent of each Lender, it being understood that the release of any
Restricted Subsidiary from a Guaranty is permitted pursuant to Section 9.11;

and provided further that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent in addition
to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and
signed by the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, in addition to the
Borrower and the Lenders required above, affect any fees or other amounts
payable to, the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document; (iii) technical and conforming modifications to the Loan Documents may
be made (including without limitation to the definitions of Loans and Lender) to
the extent necessary to effectuate any Incremental Loans pursuant to Section
2.15, any Other Term Loans or Refinancing Amendment pursuant to Section 2.16 or
Extended Loans pursuant to Section 2.17, in each case with the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent, the Loan Parties and each Lender or
Eligible Assignee participating in such Incremental Loans or Extended Loan or
Other Term Loans pursuant to documentation satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent without the consent of any other Lender; and (iv) any amendment, waiver or
consent to the Intercreditor Agreement shall only require the Borrower or any
other Loan Party party thereto to the extent required by the Intercreditor
Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any waiver, amendment,
modification or consent in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document of Lenders holding Loans of a particular Class (but not the
Lenders holding Loans of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or
agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the requisite percentage
in interest of the Lenders with respect to such Class that would be required to
consent thereto under this Section 11.01 if such Lenders were the only Lenders
hereunder at the time.

127

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

If any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or
release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of each
Lender and that has been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrower may
replace such non-consenting Lender in accordance with Section 11.12; provided
that such amendment, waiver, consent or release can be effected as a result of
the assignment contemplated by such Section (together with all other such
assignments required by the Borrower to be made pursuant to this paragraph).
If at any time the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly
identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or
immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such
provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action
or consent of any other party to any Loan Document.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary: (i) Affiliated
Lenders shall not be entitled to receive any material prepared by an Agent or
another Lender solely for distribution to the Lenders and/or the Agents, or to
participate in any meetings of Lenders and/or Agents or telephone conferences
among Lenders and/or Agents at which one or more of the Loan Parties or their
representatives are not also present; (ii) Affiliated Lenders may not hold in
the aggregate more than 20% of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans,
Other Term Loans and Incremental Loans at any time outstanding; and (iii) for
the purposes of any amendment, waiver or modification of any of the Loan
Documents, and for purposes of any exercise of any right or remedy under the
Loan Documents (or any vote of the Lenders in connection with any proceeding
referred to in Section 8.01(f) or (g) (only with respect to the Borrower or a
Significant Subsidiary (or a number of Subsidiaries that, together, would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary)) that does not adversely affect such
Affiliated Lender (solely in its capacity as a Lender) in any material respect
as compared to other Lenders), such Affiliated Lender will be deemed to have
voted in the same proportion as the other Lenders voting on such matter (or if
all other Lenders shall have approved such amendment, waiver or modification,
shall be deemed to have approved the same).
11.02    Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communications.

provided in subsection (b) below shall be effective as provided in such
subsection (b).
(b)    Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the
Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication
(including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures
approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not
apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has
notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices
under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the
Borrower may, in their discretion, agree to accept notices and other
communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to
procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be
limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other
communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the
sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by
the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other
written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is
not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or
communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on
the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications
posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the
deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in
the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is
available and identifying the website address therefor.
(c)    `The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE
AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF
THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM
LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF
ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD
PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT
PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event
shall any Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents or the
Arrangers or any of their Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”)
have any liability to the Borrower or any other Loan Parties, any Lender or any
other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind
(whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or any
Agent’s or any Arrangers’ transmission of Borrower Materials through the
Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however,

129

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

that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any
other Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special,
incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual
damages).

(d)    Change of Address, Etc. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent may
change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other
Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and
other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from
time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an
effective address, contact name, telephone number, telecopier number and
electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent
and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each Public
Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public
Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar
designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable
such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s
compliance procedures and applicable Laws, including United States federal and
state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made
available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that
may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or
their securities for purposes of United States federal or state securities Laws.

(e)    Reliance by the Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices
(including telephonic Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the
Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein,
were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice
specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient,
varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from
all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such
Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All
telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the
Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of
the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

(f)    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising,
any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document
shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under
each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights,
remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

130

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

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan
Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested
exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such
enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 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) any Lender from exercising
setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.07 (subject to the terms of Section
2.13), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing
pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any
Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided further that if at any time
there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise
ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in
addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding
proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent of the
Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as
authorized by the Required Lenders.

(a)Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented

Collateral Agent and each of their respective Affiliates (including the
reasonable and documented fees, out-of-pocket charges and disbursements of one
firm of counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the
Arrangers, taken as a whole, of one firm of local counsel retained by the
Administrative Agent in each relevant local jurisdiction and of one firm of
special counsel retained by the Administrative Agent for each relevant
specialty), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided

or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent, any Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel
for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender) in connection

Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section,

out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(b)Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent (and any sub-agent of either the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent), the Arrangers, the Co-Syndication
Agents, the Documentation Agent, each Lender and each Related Party of any of
the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against,
and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and reasonably related expenses (including the reasonable and
documented fees, out-of-pocket charges and disbursements of any counsel for any
Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any
third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective
obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent (and any sub-agent

131

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

thereof) and their respective Related Parties only, the administration of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use
of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of
Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective
claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third
party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the Borrower’s or such Loan
Party’s directors, shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any
Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad
faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result
from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an
Indemnitee for the material breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or
under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a
final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section
11.03(b) shall not apply to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses,
claims, damages, etc. with respect to a non-Tax claim.

(c)Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason
fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of
this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
Agent (or any sub-agent of either the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent)
or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent)
or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage
(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity
payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense
or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case
may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any
Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The
obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the
provisions of Section 2.12(c).

(d)Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws, the Borrower shall not assert, and the Borrower hereby waives,
any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual
damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds
thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for
any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or
other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee
through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems
in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual
damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction.

132

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

(e)Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than
ten Business Days after demand therefor.

(f)Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the
Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, the replacement of any Lender
and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

11.04    Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of
the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the
Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such
payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent
or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any
other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or
otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part
thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in
full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had
not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so
recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from
the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum
equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the
Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in
full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

11.05    Successors and Assigns.

(a)    Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the
Borrower nor any other Loan Parties may assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee
(other than to any Disqualified Institution) in accordance with the provisions
of Section 11.05(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the
provisions of Section 11.05(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a
security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 11.05(f) (and any other
attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void and
the Borrower shall be entitled to seek specific performance to unwind any such
assignment or participation in addition to any other remedies available to the
Borrower at law or at equity). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied,
shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto,
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the
extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.

133

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

(b)    Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
and the Loans at the time owing to it; provided that any such assignment shall
be subject to the following conditions:

(i)    Minimum Amounts.

(A)in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a
Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be
assigned; and

(B)in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the
aggregate amount of the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the
assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the
Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and
Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless each
of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent
assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from
members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible
Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single
assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;
provided, further, however, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented
to any such assignment amount unless the Borrower shall object thereto by
written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having
received notice thereof; provided, further, however, that no such consent of the
Borrower to any assignment amount shall be required during the primary
syndication of the Loans.

(ii)    Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans assigned, except that
this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion
of its rights and obligations among separate tranches, if any, on a non-pro rata
basis;

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

(A)    the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default under Section
8.01(a), (f) or (g) (in the case of (f) or (g), only with respect to the
Borrower or a Significant Subsidiary (or a number of Subsidiaries that,
together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary)) has occurred and is
continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender,
an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (other than to any Disqualified
Institution); provided, however, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have
consented to any such assignment unless the Borrower shall object thereto by
written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having
received notice thereof; provided, further, however, that no such consent of the
Borrower to any assignment shall be required during the primary syndication of
the Loans; and

134

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

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

(iv)    Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together
with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided,
however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to
waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The
assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire.

(v)    No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the
Borrower or the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, assignments to Affiliates of the Borrower (other than any
Subsidiaries of the Borrower) shall be permitted (any such assignee being
referred to herein as an “Affiliated Lender”), subject to the provisions set
forth in Section 11.01.

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to
this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.03 with
respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such
assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and
deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of
rights or obligations under this Agreement (other than any purported assignment
or transfer to the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Borrower, any Affiliate of
the Borrower (other than an Affiliate Lender), any natural person or a
Disqualified Institution) that does not comply with this subsection shall be
treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section
11.05(d).

135

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

(c)    Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an
agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a
copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and principal amounts of
the Loans and stated interest thereon owing to, each Lender pursuant to the
terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register
shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of
this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (solely to the extent of
the provisions related to such Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to
time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)    Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any
Person (other than a natural person, the Borrower or the Borrower’s Affiliates
or Subsidiaries or a Disqualified Institution) (each, a “Participant”) in all or
a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation
shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that
such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any
amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to
Section 11.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this
Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and
limitations of such Sections, Section 3.06 and Section 11.12) to the same extent
as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
Section 11.05(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 11.07 as though it were a Lender, provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a
Lender. Each Lender having sold a participation in any of its obligations under
this Agreement, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower,
shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.02 (or at
such other address as such Lender shall notify the Borrower) a record of
ownership, in which such Lender shall register by book entry (A) the name and
address of each such participant (and each change thereto, whether by assignment
or otherwise) and (B) the rights, interests or obligations of each such
participant in any obligation under this Agreement and in any right to receive
any principal, stated interest or other payment hereunder. The entries in the
record of ownership shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in such record of ownership pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary.

136

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

(e)    Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled
to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation
sold to such Participant, unless such entitlement to a greater payment results
from a change in any Law after the sale of the participation takes place and the
Participant otherwise would be entitled to payment pursuant to such Sections.

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

11.06    Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain
the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that
Information may be disclosed (a) to its partners, directors, officers,
employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential
nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (b) to its Affiliates and to its Affiliates’ partners, directors,
officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood
that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the
confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or
otherwise with the consent of the Borrower, (c) to the extent requested by any
regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any
self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners), (d) to the extent required by Laws or regulations or by any
subpoena or similar legal process (provided that, to the extent permitted
thereby and practicable, prompt written notice of such disclosure will be
provided to the Borrower), (e) to any other party hereto, (f) in connection with
the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (g) subject to an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i)
any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant
in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; provided that no such
disclosure shall be made by such Lender or such Agent or any of their respective
Affiliates to any such Person that is a Disqualified Institution, (ii) any
actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative
transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations or (iii) any of its
Affiliates that is an actual or prospective provider of cash management services
to Borrower or Borrower’s Subsidiaries (including with respect to treasury,
depository, overdraft, credit and debit card, electronic funds transfer and
other cash management arrangements), (h) with the consent of the Borrower or to
the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a
result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any of their
respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the
Borrower or a Person known by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent,
such Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates to be bound by a
confidentiality agreement with Borrower. In addition, the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers and each Lender may disclose the existence
of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data
collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service
providers in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents.

137

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

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from
any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any
Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such
information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent
or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party
or any Subsidiary thereof (other than as a result of a breach of this Section
11.06). Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as
provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its
obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to
maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to
its own confidential information.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders
acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public
information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it
has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public
information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in
accordance with applicable Laws, including United States federal and state
securities Laws.
11.07    Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and
other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any
such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other
Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan
Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any
demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such
obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or
are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or
office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of
each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition
to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender
or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and
application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such setoff and application.

11.08    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the
Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest
permitted by applicable Laws (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent
or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate,
the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it
exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether
the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or
a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by
applicable Laws, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an
expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments
and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in
equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated
term of the Obligations hereunder.

138

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

11.09    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and the Administrative Agent Fee Letter, constitute the entire
contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede
any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to
the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement
shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative
Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof
that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties
hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this
Agreement by telecopy or in “pdf” or similar format by electronic mail shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

11.10    Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and
warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document
delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith
shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such
representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Agents
and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender
or on their behalf and notwithstanding that such Agent or any Lender may have
had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Loan or Incremental
Loan is made, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or
any other Obligation hereunder (other than (A) contingent indemnification
obligations and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Hedge Agreements)
shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

11.11    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality,
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the
parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of
which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

11.12    Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04 or determines that it has become unlawful to provide or maintain
Eurodollar Rate Loans, or if the Borrower is required to indemnify or pay any
additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of
any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 or, if an amendment, waiver or consent to
any Loan Document is proposed by Borrower and the consent of the Required
Lenders thereto has been received but the consent of a Lender who is not part of
the Required Lenders is needed but has not been obtained, then the Borrower may,
at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and
consents required by, Section 11.05), all of its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents (which assignee
may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

139

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

(a)    the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment
fee specified in Section 11.05(b);

(b)    such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and
all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of
such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in
the case of all other amounts);

(c)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments thereafter; and

(d)    such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if,
prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation
cease to apply. In connection with any replacement under this Section 11.12, if
any such non-consenting Lender does not execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Assumption reflecting such
replacement within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the assignee
Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption to such
non-consenting Lender, then such non-consenting Lender shall be deemed to have
executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption without any action on the
part of the non-consenting Lender.
11.13    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

11.17    Judgment Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any
court it is necessary to convert an amount due hereunder in the currency in
which it is due (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Second
Currency”), the rate of exchange applied shall be that at which, in accordance
with normal banking procedures, the Administrative Agent could purchase in the
New York foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the Second Currency
on the date two (2) Business Days preceding that on which judgment is given.
Each Loan Party agrees that its obligation in respect of any Original Currency
due from it hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or payment in such
other currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day
following the date the Administrative Agent receives payment of any sum so
adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency, the Administrative Agent
may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase, in the New York
foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the amount of the Second
Currency so paid; and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased or
could have been so purchased is less than the amount originally due in the
Original Currency, each Loan Party agrees as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such payment or judgment to indemnify the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders against such loss. The term “rate of exchange” in this
Section 11.17 means the spot rate at which the Administrative Agent, in
accordance with normal practices, is able on the relevant date to purchase the
Original Currency with the Second Currency, and includes any premium and costs
of exchange payable in connection with such purchase.
