to the use of any of the proceeds of any of the Loans.

 

2.08.       [Reserved].

 

2.09.       [Reserved].

 

2.10.       Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following
provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

 

(a)           fees owing to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof shall
cease to accrue;

 

(b)           the Bridge Commitments of such Defaulting Lender shall not be
included in determining whether all Lenders or the Majority Lenders have taken
or may take any action under this Agreement (including any consent to any
amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 12.05), provided that this clause
(b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an
amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or
each Lender affected thereby other than to the

 

25

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

 

extent provided in Section 12.05;

 

(c)           any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received
by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether
voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 10.01 or otherwise) or
received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 12.17 hereof shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined
by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts
owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second,
as the Parent may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to
the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to
fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the
Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and
the Parent, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to
satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with
respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts
owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result
of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;
fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any
amounts owing to the Parent as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by the Parent against such Defaulting Lender as a result
of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and
 sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of
competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the
principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not
fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when
the conditions set forth in Section 7.02 hereof were satisfied or waived, such
payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders
on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such
Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata
in accordance with their Bridge Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other
amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay
amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this
Section 2.10(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting
Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 

(d)           If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Parent shall
have the right, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and
the Administrative Agent, to require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse, all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an
assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Parent shall
have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and (ii) 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, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest and fees) or the Parent (in the case of all other amounts). A
Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if,
prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Parent to require such assignment and delegation
cease to apply.

Existing Credit Agreement, (i) prior to the Funding Date, the Bridge Commitments
shall be permanently reduced by and (ii) from and after the Funding Date, the
Parent shall prepay the Loans with (including any accrued and unpaid interest

27

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

 

in each case, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, such Net Cash Proceeds to the extent
such Net Cash Proceeds, together with all other such Net Cash Proceeds from
dispositions of assets or Recovery Events that are not Reinvestment Events,
exceeds $50,000,000 in the then-current fiscal year of the Company; provided,

preceding fiscal year for which financial statements are available and (ii) on
each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment

applied toward the prepayment of the Loans.

 

The Parent shall notify the Administrative Agent promptly upon the occurrence of
any event giving rise to a prepayment under this Section 3.02(c).  Any
prepayment of Loans pursuant to Section 3.02(b), (c) or (d) hereof shall be

Parent to the Parent or another Wholly Owned Subsidiary thereof.

 

Section 4  Payments of Principal and Interest.

 

4.01.       Repayment of Loans.  The Parent hereby promises to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the unpaid principal amount
of the Loans outstanding on the Maturity Date.

 

4.02.       Interest. The Parent will pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made
by such Lender to the Parent for the period commencing on the Funding Date to
but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following rates
per annum:

 

1)            if such Loan is an ABR Loan, the Alternate Base Rate plus the
Applicable Margin; and

 

2)            if such Loan is a Eurocurrency Loan, the Eurocurrency Rate plus
the Applicable Margin.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Parent hereby promises to pay to the
Administrative Agent for account of each Lender interest at the applicable
Post-Default Rate (x) on any principal of any Loan made by such Lender to the
Parent and on any other amount payable by the Parent hereunder to or for account
of such Lender (but, if such amount is interest, only to the extent legally
enforceable), that shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise), for the period
from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date the same is
paid in full and (y) during any period when an Event of Default shall have
occurred under Section 10.01(1) hereof and for so long as such Event of Default
shall be continuing, on any principal of any Loan made by such Lender to the
Parent.

 

28

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

 

Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) if such Loan is an ABR Loan,
on each Quarterly Date, (ii) if such Loan is a Eurocurrency Loan, on the last
day of each Interest Period for such Loan (and, if such Interest Period exceeds
three months’ duration, quarterly, commencing on the first quarterly anniversary
of the first day of such Interest Period), and (iii) in any event, upon the
payment, prepayment or conversion thereof, but only on the principal so paid or
prepaid or converted; provided that interest payable at the Post-Default Rate
shall be payable from time to time on demand of the Administrative Agent or the
Majority Lenders. Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided
for herein or any change therein, the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Lenders and the Parent thereof.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.02, if at any time
the rate of interest set forth above on any Loan of any Lender (the “Stated
Rate” for such Loan) exceeds the maximum non-usurious interest rate permissible
for such Lender to charge commercial borrowers under applicable law (the
“Maximum Rate” for such Lender), the rate of interest charged on such Loan of
such Lender hereunder shall be limited to the Maximum Rate for such Lender.

 

In the event the Stated Rate for any Loan of a Lender that has theretofore been
subject to the preceding paragraph at any time is less than the Maximum Rate for
such Lender, the principal amount of such Loan shall bear interest at the
Maximum Rate for such Lender until the total amount of interest paid to such
Lender or accrued on its Loans hereunder equals the amount of interest which
would have been paid to such Lender or accrued on such Lender’s Loans hereunder
if the Stated Rate had at all times been in effect.

 

In the event, upon payment in full of all amounts payable hereunder, the total
amount of interest paid to any Lender or accrued on such Lender’s Loans under
the terms of this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which
would have been paid to such Lender or accrued on such Lender’s Loans if the
Stated Rate had, at all times, been in effect, then the Parent shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Lender an amount equal to the difference between (a) the lesser
of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on such Lender’s Loans if
the Maximum Rate for such Lender had at all times been in effect or (ii) the
amount of interest which would have accrued on such Lender’s Loans if the Stated
Rate had at all times been in effect and (b) the amount of interest actually
paid to such Lender or accrued on its Loans under this Agreement.  In the event
any Lender ever receives, collects or applies as interest any sum in excess of
the Maximum Rate for such Lender, such excess amount shall be applied to the
reduction of the principal balance of its Loans or to other amounts (other than
interest) payable hereunder, and if no such principal is then outstanding, such
excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to the Parent.

 

Section 5  Payments; Pro Rata Treatment; Computations; Etc.

 

5.01.       Payments.

 

(a)           Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of
principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Parent with respect to
the Loans shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, to the
Administrative Agent at an account in New York, New York specified by the
Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m. New York time on the date on
which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on
such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business
Day). The Administrative Agent, or any Lender for whose account any such payment
is made, may (but shall not be obligated to) debit the amount of any such
payment which is not made by such time to any ordinary deposit account of the
Parent with the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be. The
Parent shall, at the time of making each such payment, specify to the
Administrative Agent the Loans or other amounts payable by the Parent hereunder
to which such payment is to be applied (and in the event that it fails to so
specify, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is

 

29

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

 

continuing, the Administrative Agent may apply such payment for the benefit of
the Lenders as it may elect in its sole discretion, but subject to the other
terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation,
Section 5.02 hereof). Each payment received by the Administrative Agent with
respect to the Loans for the account of a Lender shall be paid promptly to such
Lender, in immediately available funds, for the account of such Lender’s
Applicable Lending Office. If the due date of any such payment would otherwise
fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable for any principal so
extended for the period of such extension.

 

(b)           All payments made by the Parent hereunder shall be made without
set-off, deduction or counterclaim.

 

5.02.       Pro Rata Treatment.

 

(a)           Any reduction of the Bridge Commitments or mandatory prepayment of
Loans pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof or Sections 3.02(b), (c) or (d) hereof
shall be applied ratably to the Lenders according to the Lenders’ respective
percentages of the Bridge Commitments or Loans, as applicable.

 

(b)           Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each payment
(or prepayment) by the Parent of principal or interest on Loans of a particular
Type (other than payments in respect of Loans of individual Lenders provided for
by Section 6 hereof) shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal
amounts of the Loans held by the Lenders and (ii) each conversion of Loans of a
particular Type (other than conversions of Loans of individual Lenders pursuant
to Section 6.04 hereof) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance
with the respective principal amounts of such Loans held by such Lenders.

 

(c)           Each prepayment by the Parent of Loans, if any, as provided by
Sections 3.02(b), (c) and (d) hereof shall be applied pro rata to the Loans and
to the installments of the Loans, pro rata according to the then outstanding
amounts thereof.

 

5.03.       Computations.  Interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a
year of 360 days (or 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in the case of ABR
Loans the interest rate payable on which is then based on the Prime Rate) and
actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day)
occurring in the period for which payable.

 

5.04.       Minimum and Maximum Amounts; Types. Except for prepayments made
pursuant to Sections 3.02(b), (c) and (d) hereof, each borrowing, conversion and
prepayment of principal of Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal
to (a) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, $1,000,000 or a larger multiple of
$100,000, and (b) in the case of ABR Loans, $500,000 or a larger multiple of
$100,000 (borrowings, conversions or prepayments of Loans of different Types or,
in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, having different Interest Periods, at the
same time hereunder to be deemed separate borrowings, conversions and
prepayments for purposes of the foregoing, one for Type or Interest Period);
provided that (i) any Loan may be in the aggregate amount of the unused portion
of the relevant Bridge Commitments, (ii) Loans may be prepaid in full and
(iii) any borrowing or prepayment of Loans that are ABR Loans may be in an
aggregate principal amount equal to $100,000 or a larger multiple of $100,000.

 

5.05.       Certain Notices. Notices to the Administrative Agent of borrowing,
conversions and prepayments of Loans and of the duration of Interest Periods
shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. New York time on the number of
Business Days prior to the date of the relevant termination, reduction,
borrowing, conversion and/or prepayment specified below:

Each such notice of termination or reduction shall specify the amount thereof to
be terminated or reduced. Each such notice of borrowing, conversion or
prepayment shall specify the amount and Type of the Loans to be borrowed,
converted or prepaid (subject to Sections 3.02(a) and 5.04 hereof), the date of
borrowing, conversion or prepayment (which shall be a Business Day) and, in the
case of Eurocurrency Loans, the duration of the Interest Period therefor
(subject to the definition of Interest Period). The Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the Lenders of the contents of each such notice. In the event
that the Parent fails to select the duration of any Interest Period for any
Eurocurrency Loans within the time period and otherwise as provided in this
Section 5.05, such Loans (if outstanding as Eurocurrency Loans) will be
automatically converted into ABR Loans on the last day of the then current
Interest Period for such Loans or (if outstanding as ABR Loans) will remain as,
or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, ABR Loans.

 

5.06.       Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.  Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender or the Parent (the
“Payor”) prior to the date on which such Lender is to make payment to the
Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Loan to be made by it hereunder or the
Parent is to make a payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of one
or more of the Lenders, as the case may be (such payment being herein called the
“Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the
Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent
the Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and
may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the
amount thereof available to the intended recipient on such date and, if the
Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent the
recipient of such payment shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent the
amount made available to it together with interest thereon in respect of the
period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the
Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such
amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such
period.

 

5.07.       Sharing of Payments; Waiver of Enforcement Without Consent, Etc.

 

(a)           If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of or interest
on any Loan made by it under this Agreement, or on any other obligation then due
to such Lender hereunder, through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s
lien, counterclaim or similar right, or otherwise (other than pursuant to the
terms hereof), it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and purchase
from the other Lenders participations in the Loans made, or other obligations
held, by the other Lenders in such amounts,

 

31

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

 

and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable to the
end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any
expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such
benefit) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal and interest on the
Loans or other obligations then due to each of them. To such end all the Lenders
shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of
participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise
be restored (including the payment of interest to the extent that the Lender
obligated to return such funds is obligated to return interest).

 

(b)           Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any
right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right or shall affect
the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any
such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Parent.

 

(c)           This Section 5.07 is for the benefit of the Lenders only and does
not constitute a waiver of any rights against the Parent or any of its
Subsidiaries.

 

5.08.       Taxes.

 

(a)           Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of
any obligation of the Parent hereunder shall be made free and clear of and
without reduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable
law; provided, that if any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) are
required to be withheld or deducted from such payments, then (i) the sum payable
by Parent shall be increased as necessary so that after making 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 deductions been
made and (ii) if the Parent was the party required to make such deductions or
withholdings under applicable law, such party shall make such deductions and
shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law.

 

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

 

(c)           Indemnification by the Parent.  The Parent shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, within 10 days after
demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including
Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable
under this Section 5.08) paid or payable by the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
delivered to the Parent by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent, as the case
may be, on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

 

(d)           Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally
indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any
Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that the Parent has not already
indemnified such parties for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the
obligation of the Parent to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or
payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and any
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority.  The indemnity under this Section 5.08(d) shall be paid
within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender
a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or

 

32

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

 

payable by them.  Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or
payable absent manifest error.

 

(e)           Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of
Taxes by the Parent to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.08,
the Parent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified
copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment,
a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

(f)            Status of Lenders.  (i) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an
exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction
in which the Parent is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder shall deliver to the
Parent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Parent or the
Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if
requested by the Parent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Parent
or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Parent or the Administrative
Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding
or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in the foregoing, the completion, execution and submission of any such
documentation for the benefit of the Parent (other than such documentation set
forth in Section 5.08(f)(ii)(I), (II) and (IV) below) shall not be required if
in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject
such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense (or, in the case of a
Regulatory Change, any incremental material unreimbursed cost or expense) or
would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

 

(ii)           Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

 

(I)    any Lender that is resident for tax purposes in the United States of
America shall deliver to the Parent and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to
the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from
time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent or the
Administrative Agent), executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9
certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States Federal backup
withholding tax,

 

(II)  any Foreign Lender (such term to mean, solely for purposes of this
Section 5.08(f)(ii)(II), any Lender that is organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction other than the United States of America, each State thereof and the
District of Columbia), or, in the case of clause (IV) below, any Lender, shall
deliver to the Parent and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as
shall be requested by the recipient), on or prior to the date on which it
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
request of the Parent or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Lender is
legally entitled to do so) whichever of the following is applicable:

 

(1)           in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income

34

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

 

which it has been indemnified by the Parent or with respect to which the Parent
has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Parent
an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments
made, or additional amounts paid, by the Parent under this Section with respect
to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses 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 Parent,
upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be,
agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Parent (plus any penalties, interest
or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or
such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. 
This paragraph 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 the Parent or any other Person.

 

(i)            Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.08 shall
survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the
termination of the Bridge Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or
discharge of all other obligations under this Agreement.

 

5.09.       Judgment Currency.  If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any
court it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Parent hereunder in the
currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another
currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may
effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in
accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could
purchase the specified currency with other such currency at the Administrative
Agent’s New York Office on the Business Day that is on or immediately following
the day on which final judgment is given.  The obligations of the Parent in
respect of any sum due to any Lender or hereunder shall, notwithstanding any
judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to
the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in
such other currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may
be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the specified
currency with such other currency.  If the amount of the specified currency so
purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, the Parent
agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation
and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount
of the specified currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any
Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified
currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to
remit such excess to Parent.

 

Section 6  Yield Protection and Illegality.

 

6.01.       Additional Costs.

 

(a)           The Parent shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of each Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be
necessary to compensate it for any costs incurred by such Lender which such
Lender determines are attributable to its making, maintaining, converting or
continuing of any Loans hereunder to the Parent or its obligation to make any of
such Loans hereunder to the Parent, or any reduction in any amount receivable by
such Lender in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation (such increases
in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional
Costs”), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change which:

 

(i)            subjects the Lender to Taxes on its loans, loan principal,
letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves,
other liabilities or capital

 

35

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

 

attributable thereto, or changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to
such Lender under this Agreement in respect of any of such Loans (other than
Indemnified Taxes covered by Section 5.08 hereof and Excluded Taxes); or

 

(ii)           imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any
deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender (including any of such Loans
or any deposits referred to in the definition of “Eurocurrency Base Rate” in
Section 1.01 hereof) (except any reserve requirement reflected in the definition
of Eurocurrency Rate); or

 

(iii)          imposes any other condition, cost or expense affecting this
Agreement (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).

 

Each Lender will notify the Parent through the Administrative Agent of any event
occurring after the Effective Date of this Agreement which will entitle such
Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 6.01(a) (an “Additional Cost
Event”) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and
determines to request such compensation, provided, that the Parent shall not be
obligated to compensate such Lender for any such Additional Costs incurred more
than 180 days prior to the time the Lender first notifies the Parent of such
Additional Cost Event (or such longer period if such Additional Cost Event is
given retroactive effect).  Each Lender will furnish the Parent with a statement
setting forth the calculations and the basis therefor, in each case in
reasonable detail, and amount of each request by such Lender for compensation
under this Section 6.01(a). If any Lender requests compensation from the Parent
under this Section 6.01(a), the Parent may, by notice to such Lender through the
Administrative Agent, suspend the obligation of such Lender to make additional
Loans of the Type for which compensation is requested to the Parent until the
Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which
case the provisions of Section 6.04 hereof shall be applicable).

 

(b)           Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this
Section 6.01, in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender
either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a
specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of
such Lender which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on
Eurocurrency Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of
extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender which includes Eurocurrency
Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category
of liabilities or assets which it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by
notice to the Parent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation
of such Lender to make Eurocurrency Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the
date such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions
of Section 6.04 hereof shall be applicable).

 

(c)           Determinations and allocations by any Lender for purposes of this
Section 6.01 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining
its obligations to make Loans or of making or maintaining Loans or on amounts
receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the additional amounts required to
compensate such Lender in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive
absent manifest error, provided that such determinations and allocations are
made on a reasonable basis.

 

(d)           If any Lender demands compensation under this Section, the Parent
may, at any time upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to such
Lender through the Administrative Agent, convert in full the then outstanding
Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars of such Lender (in which case the
Parent shall be obligated, if such conversion is made on a day that is not the
last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected
Eurocurrency Loan, to reimburse such Lender, in accordance with Section 6.05
hereof, for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it) to an ABR Loan.

 

36

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

 

6.02.       Limitation on Types of Loans.  If prior to the first day of any
Interest Period:

 

(i)            the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which
determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that
adequate and reasonable means (including, without limitation, by means of an
Interpolated Rate), do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Base Rate or 
the Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

 

(ii)           the Majority Lenders determine (which determination shall be
conclusive) and notify the Administrative Agent that the relevant rates of
interest referred to in the definition of “Eurocurrency Base Rate” in
Section 1.01 upon the basis of which the rates of interest for such Loans are to
be determined do not accurately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or
maintaining such Loans for Interest Periods therefor;

 

then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent and each
applicable Lender thereof, and so long as such condition remains in effect, the
Lenders shall be under no obligation to make Eurocurrency Loans or to convert
ABR Loans into Eurocurrency Loans and the Parent shall, on the last day(s) of
the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Eurocurrency Loans
either prepay such Loans or convert such Loans into ABR Loans in accordance with
Section 3.02 hereof.

 

6.03.       Illegality.  If, in any applicable jurisdiction, the Administrative
Agent or any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Administrative
Agent or any Lender to (i) perform its obligations hereunder or under any other
Base Document with respect to Eurocurrency Loans, (ii) fund or maintain its
participation in any Eurocurrency Loan or (iii) issue, make, maintain, fund or
charge interest with respect to any such Loan, such Person shall promptly notify
the Administrative Agent, and upon the Administrative Agent notifying the
Parent, and until such notice by such Person is revoked, any obligation of such
Person to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any
such Loan shall be suspended, and to the extent required by applicable law,
cancelled.

 

6.04.       Substitute ABR Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make
Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 6.01, 6.02 or 6.03
hereof, all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as Eurocurrency
Loans shall be made instead as ABR Loans (and, if an event referred to in
Section 6.01(b) or 6.03 hereof has occurred and such Lender so requests by
notice to the Parent with a copy to the Administrative Agent, each Eurocurrency
Loan of such Lender then outstanding shall be automatically converted into an
ABR Loan on the date specified by such Lender in such notice) and, to the extent
that Eurocurrency Loans are so made as (or converted into) ABR Loans, all
payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Eurocurrency
Loans shall be applied instead to such ABR Loans.

 

6.05.       Compensation. The Parent shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the
Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the
reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or
expense incurred by it as a result of:

 

1)            any payment, prepayment or conversion of a Eurocurrency Loan made
by such Lender to the Parent on a date other than the last day of an Interest
Period for such Loan;

 

2)            any failure by the Parent to borrow a Eurocurrency Loan to be made
by such Lender to the Parent on the date for such borrowing specified in the
relevant notice of borrowing under Section 5.05 hereof;

 

37

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

 

3)            any failure by the Parent to prepay a Eurocurrency Loan on the
date specified in a notice of prepayment; or

 

4)            any substitution of a Lender under Section 6.07 hereof on a date
other than the last day of an Interest Period for each Loan of such Lender;

 

but excluding, in any event, loss of margin for the period after any such
payment, prepayment or conversion or failure to borrow; provided that such
Lender shall have delivered to the Parent a certificate as to the amount of such
loss and expense along with the calculation and the basis therefor, in each case
in reasonable detail.

 

6.06.       Capital Adequacy. If any Lender shall determine that any Regulatory
Change regarding capital adequacy or liquidity after the Effective Date, or any
change therein after the Effective Date, or any change after the Effective Date
in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority,
central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending
Office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on capital of such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender (a “Lender
Parent”) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that
which such Lender (or its Lender Parent) could have achieved but for such
Regulatory Change (taking into consideration its policies with respect to
capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be
material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Parent shall pay to such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such
reduction. A statement of any Lender claiming compensation under this
Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it
hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the
determination thereof is made on a reasonable basis; and provided further that
the Parent shall not be obligated to compensate such Lender for any such
reduction occurring more than 180 days prior to the time such Lender first
notifies the Parent of such Regulatory Change. In determining such amount, such
Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

 

6.07.       Mitigation Obligations; Substitution of Lender.

 

(a)           If any Lender requests compensation under Section 6.01 hereof, or
requires the Parent to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 5.08 hereof, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Parent) 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 6.01 or 5.08 hereof, as the case may be, in the
future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Parent
hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in
connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

(b)           If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make Eurocurrency Loans or
the right of the Parent to convert ABR Loans of any Lender to Eurocurrency Loans
has been suspended pursuant to Section 6.03 hereof, (ii) any Lender has demanded
compensation under Section 6.01, 6.06 or 6.08 hereof, or (iii) any Lender
requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 5.08 hereof, the
Parent shall have the right, with the assistance of the Administrative Agent, to
seek a substitute bank or banks (which may be one or more of the Lenders)
satisfactory to Parent and the Administrative Agent to assume the Loans of such
Lender. Any such Lender shall be obligated to sell Loans for cash without
recourse to such

 

38

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

 

substitute bank or banks and to execute and deliver an appropriately completed
assignment and assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the Parent and any other document or perform any act
reasonably necessary to effect the assumption of the rights and obligations of
such substitute bank or banks.

other document on the Intralinks website on the Internet at www.intralinks.com
or becomes available on the EDGAR system or any successor system of the
Securities and Exchange Commission; provided that the Parent shall give prompt
notice of any such posting to the Administrative Agent (who shall then give
prompt notice of any such posting to the Lenders).  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Parent shall deliver paper copies of any financial statement or
other document referred to in this Section 9.01 to the Administrative Agent if
the Administrative Agent or any Lender requests the Parent to deliver such paper

The Parent hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make
available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf
of the Parent hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the

personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with
respect to the Parent or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of
the foregoing within the meaning of federal and state securities laws (“MNPI”),
and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with
respect to such Persons’ securities.  The Parent hereby agrees that (a) all
Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be
clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that

authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower
Materials as not containing any MNPI; (c) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC”
are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated
“Public Side Information;” and (d) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only
for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side

penalties attach thereto, and all lawful claims which, if unpaid, might become a
Lien upon the property of the Parent or such Subsidiary, provided that neither
the Parent nor such Subsidiary shall be required to pay any such Tax,
assessment, charge, levy or claim the payment of which is being contested in
good faith and by proper proceedings if it maintains adequate reserves with
respect thereto.

 

9.03.       Insurance.  The Parent will maintain, and will cause each of its

maintained:

 

(1)           Property Insurance — insurance against loss or damage covering all
of the tangible real and personal property and improvements of the Parent and
its Subsidiaries, by reason of any Peril (as defined below), in amounts as shall

policy shall include insurance against loss of operating income earned from the
operation of the business of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, by reason of any
Peril affecting the operation thereof, and insurance against any other insurable

outside California, (ii) fire, smoke, lightning, flood, windstorm, hail,
explosion, riot and civil commotion, vandalism and malicious mischief and
(iii) all other perils covered by the “all-risk” endorsement then in use in the

will conduct its business in a regular manner; provided that nothing herein
shall prevent (i) the merger and dissolution of any Subsidiary of the Company
into the Company or any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company so long as the
Company or such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary is the surviving corporation (and, if
such Subsidiary is not an Excluded Subsidiary prior to such merger or
dissolution, the surviving corporation (if not the Company) is not an Excluded
Subsidiary and is a Subsidiary Guarantor), (ii) the merger or consolidation of
any Subsidiary of the Company (a “Merging Subsidiary”) with any Person (other

(iv) the abandonment of any right, privilege or franchise (including any lease)
not material in the aggregate to the business of the Parent and its
Subsidiaries.

tear excepted, and will permit representatives of the Lenders to inspect such
properties and, upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times, to examine and
make extracts and copies from the books and records of the Parent and any such
Subsidiary.

 

2)            The Parent will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, do all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect all trademarks, patents,

cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply, with the requirements of all

forthwith due and payable, whereupon such amounts shall be and become
immediately due and payable, without notice (including, without limitation,
notice of intent to accelerate), presentment, demand, protest or other
formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Parent;
provided that in the case of the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect

principal amount then outstanding of and the accrued interest on the Loans and
all other amounts payable hereunder shall be and become automatically and
immediately due and payable, without notice (including, without limitation,
notice of intent to accelerate), presentment, demand, protest or other
formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Parent.

 

Section 11  The Administrative Agent; Other Agents.

 

11.01.     Appointment Powers and Immunities.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably
appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as its agent hereunder
and under the other Basic Documents with such powers as are specifically
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together
with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative
Agent (which term as used in this Section 11 shall include reference to its
affiliates and its own and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and
agents): (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set
forth in this Agreement and the other Basic Documents, and shall not by reason
of this Agreement or any other Basic Document be a trustee for any Lender;
(b) shall not be responsible to the Lenders for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Basic
Document, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for
in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Basic
Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability
or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Basic Document or any other
document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by the
Parent or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors or any other Person to perform any of
its obligations hereunder or thereunder; (c) shall not be required to initiate
or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder or under any other
Basic Document except to the extent requested by the Majority Lenders; and
(d) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it
hereunder or under any other Basic Document or any other document or instrument
referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or
therewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

 

11.02.     Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication
(including any thereof by telephone, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to
be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the
proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel,
independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.
As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other
Basic Document, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected
in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and thereunder in accordance
with instructions signed by the Majority Lenders and such instructions of the
Majority Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall
be binding on all of the Lenders.

 

11.03.     Defaults.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of the occurrence of a Default (other than a Default of the type
specified in Section 10.01(1) hereof) unless the Administrative Agent has
received notice from a Lender or the Parent specifying such Default and stating
that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that the Administrative
Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, the Administrative
Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The

 

60

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

 

Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 11.07 hereof) take such action
with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the Majority Lenders,
provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received
such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to)
take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. The
Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Lenders a copy of any written
declaration made pursuant to the second to last paragraph of Section 10.01
hereof.

 

11.04.     Rights as a Lender.  With respect to its Bridge Commitments and the
Loans made by it, the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender hereunder
shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent and
the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates,
include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative
Agent in its individual capacity may (without having to account therefor to any
Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of
banking, trust or other business with the Parent and the Subsidiary Guarantors
(and their respective Affiliates) as if it were not acting as the Administrative
Agent, and the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity may accept fees
and other consideration from the Parent (in addition to the agency fees and
arrangement fees heretofore agreed to between the Parent and the Administrative
Agent) for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without
having to account for the same to the Lenders.

 

11.05.     Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative
Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 12.03 or 12.04 hereof, but
without limiting the obligations of the Company and the Parent under said
Sections 12.03 and 12.04), ratably in accordance with the principal amount of
their respective Loans outstanding, or if no Loans are outstanding, ratably in
accordance with their respective Bridge Commitments, for any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Basic Document or any
other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the
costs and expenses which the Parent is obligated to pay under Sections 12.03 and
12.04 hereof but excluding, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing,
normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its
agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or
thereof or of any such other documents, provided, that no Lender shall be liable
for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified.

 

11.06.     Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender
agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each of the Parent and
Subsidiary Guarantors and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it
will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any of the other Basic
Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself
informed as to the performance or observance by the Parent and the Subsidiary
Guarantors of this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents or any other
document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the
properties or books of any of the Parent or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors.
Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly
required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder or
the other Basic Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any of the Parent or
any of the Subsidiary Guarantors (or any of their affiliates) which may come
into the possession of the Administrative Agent.

 

61

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

 

11.07.     Failure to Act.  Except for action expressly required of the
Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Basic Documents, the
Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or
refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further
assurances to its satisfaction by the Lenders of their indemnification
obligations under Section 11.05 hereof against any and all liability and expense
which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such
action.

 

11.08.     Resignation or Removal of Administrative Agent.  Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided
below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof
to the Lenders and the Parent and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any
time that it is a Defaulting Lender by the Majority Lenders. Upon any such
resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a
successor Administrative Agent reasonably acceptable to the Parent (provided
that the Parent’s consent shall not be required during the occurrence or
continuance of an Event of Default). Upon any such resignation or removal, the
Administrative Agent that resigned or was removed shall, to the extent that its
annual agency fee was paid in advance, pay to the Parent an amount equal to such
fee multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of days
remaining on the date of such resignation or removal until the next anniversary
of the Funding Date, and the denominator of which shall be 365. If no successor
Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and
shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring
Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Lenders’
removal of the Administrative Agent that is a Defaulting Lender (the “Notice
Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders,
appoint a successor Administrative Agent reasonably acceptable to the Parent.
Any successor Administrative Agent shall be (i) a Lender or (ii) if no Lender
has accepted such appointment within 30 days after the Notice Date, a bank which
has an office in New York, New York with a combined capital and surplus of at
least $250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative
Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor
Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and
the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or
removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 11
shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

 

11.09.     Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners, Documentation Agents and
Co-Syndication Agents. None of the Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners,
Co-Documentation Agents, Co-Syndication Agent or Co-Managers shall have any
duties or responsibilities under the Basic Documents in their respective
capacities as such.

 

11.10.     Additional Ministerial Powers of the Administrative Agent.  The
Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to
take any action to release Guaranties and as provided in Section 12.16 hereof.

 

Section 12  Miscellaneous.

 

12.01.     Waiver.  No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with
respect to, any right, power or privilege under any Basic Document shall operate
as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right,
power or privilege thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided in
the Basic Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by
law.

 

62

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

 

12.02.     Notices.  All notices and other communications provided for herein
(including, without limitation, any modifications of, or waivers or consents
under, this Agreement) shall be given or made by telecopy or other writing and
telecopied, mailed or delivered to the intended recipient (a) in the case of
each of the Parent or the Administrative Agent at the “Address for Notices”
specified below its name on the signature pages hereof; (b) in the case of any
Lender, at its address (or telecopy number) set forth in its Administrative
Questionnaire; or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated
by such party in a notice to the each of the Parent and the Administrative Agent
given in accordance with this Section 12.02. Except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement, all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given
when transmitted by telecopier (and receipt is electronically confirmed),
personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each
case given or addressed as aforesaid.  In addition, such notices and other
communications may be delivered or furnished by electric communications pursuant
to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent.

 

12.03.     Expenses Etc.  The Parent agrees to pay or reimburse, without
duplication of any amounts otherwise already so paid or reimbursed by the Parent
elsewhere under this Agreement, each of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent
and the Arrangers for paying: (a) the reasonable fees and expenses of Simpson
Thacher & Bartlett LLP, special counsel to the Administrative Agent, in
connection with (i) the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement
(including the Exhibits hereto) and the making of the Loans hereunder and
(ii) any modification, supplement or waiver of any of the terms of this
Agreement or any other Basic Document (including, without limitation, the
amendment and restatement evidenced hereby); (b) all reasonable costs and
expenses of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers (including
reasonable counsels’ fees) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement
or any other Basic Document or any bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceedings);
(c) all mortgage, intangible, transfer, stamp, documentary or other similar
taxes, assessments or charges levied by any governmental or revenue authority in
respect of this Agreement or any other Basic Document or any other document
referred to herein or therein; and (d) all costs, expenses, taxes, assessments
and other charges incurred in connection with any filing, registration,
recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by this Agreement
or any document referred to herein or therein.

 

12.04.     Indemnification.  The Parent shall indemnify the Administrative
Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders and each affiliate thereof and their
respective directors, officers, employees, advisors and agents (each, an
“Indemnitee”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all losses,
liabilities, claims or damages to which any of them may become subject, insofar
as such losses, liabilities, claims or damages arise out of, relate to or result
from any (i) Loan by any Lender hereunder or (ii) breach by the Parent of this
Agreement or any other Basic Document or (iii) any Environmental Liabilities
(whether known or unknown) or (iv) any investigation, litigation or other
proceeding (including any threatened investigation or proceeding)  as well as
any amendment or waiver relating to the foregoing or to any Basic Document, and
the Parent shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each
affiliate and their respective directors, officers, employees, advisors and
agents, upon demand for any reasonable expenses (including legal fees) incurred
in connection with any such investigation or proceeding; but excluding any such
losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted
from the  gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be
indemnified; provided, however, that in no event will any Indemnitee have any
liability for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages in
connection with this Agreement, any Basic Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein.

 

12.05.     Amendments. Etc.  No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement, nor any consent to any departure by the Parent therefrom, shall in
any event be effective unless the same shall be agreed or consented to by the
Majority Lenders and the Parent, and each such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given; provided that no

 

63

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

 

such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each
Lender directly affected thereby, (i) extend the Maturity Date (it being
understood that any “extension” pursuant to Section 2.01(b) hereof and any
waiver of any prepayment of Loans shall not constitute any such extension), or
extend the scheduled date of payment of principal of any Loan, or reduce the
rate or extend the time of payment of interest (other than as a result of
waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or
fees (it being agreed that any amendment or modification of defined terms used
in the financial covenants in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in
interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)), or reduce the principal
amount thereof, or increase any Bridge Commitment of any Lender over the amount
thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or
Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Bridge Commitments shall not
constitute a change in the terms of a Bridge Commitment of a Lender),
(ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 12.05, (iii) reduce
the percentage specified in, or otherwise modify, the definition of Majority
Lenders, (iv) release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from
their obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty and the Company Guaranty
(v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 5.02 hereof; provided that a
Defaulting Lender’s vote shall not be required except that (A) such Defaulting
Lender’s Bridge Commitment may not be increased or extended without its consent
and (B) the principal amount of, or interest or fees payable on, Loans owed to a
Defaulting Lender may not be reduced or excused or the scheduled date of payment
may not be postponed as to such Defaulting Lender without such Defaulting
Lender’s consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.05 to the
contrary, no amendment, waiver or consent shall be made (x) with respect to
Section 11 without the consent of the Administrative Agent or (y) with respect
to Section 2.10 hereto without the consent of the Administrative Agent.

 

Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, with the
consent of the Parent, may amend, modify or supplement any Basic Document
without the consent of any Lender or the Majority Lenders in order to correct,
amend or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or defect or correct any
typographical error or other manifest error in any Basic Document.

 

12.06.     Successors and Assigns.

 

(a)           This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns except that the
Parent may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of all of the Lenders.

 

(b)           Each Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Bridge Commitments and
Loans (x) to any other Lender, to any affiliate of a Lender or to any entity (an
“Approved Fund”) (whether a corporation, partnership, trust or otherwise) that
is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank loans
and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and is
administered or managed by a Lender, an affiliate of such Lender or an entity or
an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender, or (y) with the
consent of the Administrative Agent and of the Parent (provided that the consent
of the Parent shall not, except as otherwise separately agreed prior to the date
hereof, in writing, by the Borrower and the Initial Lenders, be required if an
Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, and provided further that the
Parent shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment to the extent that it
has not indicated otherwise to the Administrative Agent within five Business
Days of written notice thereof), to any bank or financial institution, which
consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that any such
partial assignment shall not, unless the Parent and the Administrative Agent
otherwise agree (provided that the consent of the Parent shall not, except as
otherwise separately agreed prior to the date hereof, in writing, by the
Borrower and the Initial Lenders, be required if an Event of Default has
occurred or is continuing, and provided further that the Parent shall be deemed
to have consented to any assignment to the extent that it has not indicated
otherwise to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days of written
notice thereof), be less than $1,000,000, or if the remainder of the Lender’s
Bridge Commitment or Loans is less than

 

64

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

 

$1,000,000, such lesser amount. Upon execution and delivery to the
Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Assumption substantially in the form
of Exhibit D hereto by the assignor and the assignee together with payment by
such assignee to the Administrative Agent of a processing fee of $3,500, such
assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided
therein), the same rights and benefits as it would have if it were a Lender
hereunder and the assignor shall be, to the extent of such assignment (unless
otherwise provided therein), released from its obligations under this Agreement.

 

(c)           Each Lender may (without the consent of any other party to this
Agreement) sell participations in all or any part of any Loan or Loans or any
Bridge Commitment made by it to another bank or other entity, in which event the
participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement (except as provided
in the next succeeding sentence hereof) (the participant’s rights against such
Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement
executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto, which
agreement shall not give the participant the right to consent to any
modification, amendment or waiver other than one described in clause (i),
(ii) or (v) of Section 12.05 hereof); provided that (A) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations, and (C) the Parent, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  The Parent agrees that
each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.08, 6.01, 6.05
and 6.06 of this Agreement (subject to the requirements and limitations therein,
including the requirements under Section 5.08(f) of this Agreement (it being
understood that the documentation required under Section 5.08(f) hereof shall be
delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of
this Section; provided that such participant (A) agrees to be subject to the
provisions of Sections 6.07 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of
this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Sections 5.08, 6.01 and 6.06 of this Agreement, with respect to any
participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to
receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment
results from a Regulatory Change that occurs after the participant acquired the
applicable participation.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the
Parent’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the
Parent to effectuate the provisions of Section 6.07(b) hereof with respect to
any participant.  To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 12.17 hereof as though it were a Lender;
provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 5.07 hereof as
though it were a Lender.   Each Lender may furnish any information concerning
the Parent and its Subsidiaries in the possession of such Lender from time to
time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and
participants) which have agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of
Section 12.07 hereof. The Administrative Agent and the Parent may, for all
purposes of this Agreement, treat any Lender as the holder of any Note drawn to
its order (and owner of the Loans evidenced thereby) until written notice of
assignment, participation or other transfer shall have been received by them
from such Lender.  No assignment may be made or participation sold to (x) the
Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or (y) a natural Person (or a holding company,
investment vehicle or trust for, or owned or operated for the primary benefit
of, a natural Person).

 

(d)           In addition to the assignments and participations permitted in the
foregoing provisions of this Section 12.06, any Lender may (without notice to
Parent, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and without payment of any
fee) assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Notes (i) to
secure obligations of such Lender, including to any Federal Reserve Bank or
other central bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by
such Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank, and (ii) with respect to
any Lender which is a fund, to its trustee or creditors in support of its
obligations to its trustee or creditors, and such Loans and Notes shall be fully
transferable as provided therein. No such assignment pursuant to the preceding
sentence shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

 

65

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

 

(e)           The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Parent, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy
of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Bridge
Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
“Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest
error, and the Parent, 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.  In addition, each Lender that sells a participation, acting
solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Parent, shall maintain a
register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the
principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the
Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”);
provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion
of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any
participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any
Bridge Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) except
to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Bridge
Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in
the Participant Register shall be conclusive, and such Lender, the Parent and
the Administrative Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such
participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary.

 

12.07.     Confidentiality.  Each Lender agrees to exercise all reasonable
efforts to keep any information delivered or made available by or on behalf of
the Parent to it which has not been publicly disclosed confidential from anyone
other than persons employed or retained by such Lender who are or are expected
to become engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering the
Loans; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender from disclosing
such information (i) to any other Lender, (ii) to the officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys and accountants of such Lender or its affiliates
who have a need to know such information in accordance with customary banking
practices and who receive such information having been made aware of the
restrictions set forth in this Section, (iii) upon the order of any court or
administrative agency, (iv) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency
or authority having jurisdiction over such Lender, (v) to the extent reasonably
required in connection with any litigation or proceeding to which the
Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Parent, any Subsidiary Guarantor or their
respective affiliates may be a party, (vi) to the extent reasonably required in
connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder, (vii) to such Lender’s
legal counsel and independent auditors, (viii) to any actual or proposed
participant or assignee of all or part of its rights hereunder which has agreed
in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.07, (ix) to the
extent such information becomes publicly available other than by reason of
disclosure by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or their respective
affiliates in breach of this Agreement and (x) to data service providers,
including league table provides, that serve the lending industry (to the extent
that such information is of the type routinely provided by arrangers to such
data service providers); provided, that in the case of information received from
or on behalf of the Parent after the date hereof, such information is clearly
identified at the time of delivery as confidential.  Any Person required to
maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 12.07
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. 
For the avoidance of doubt, information relating to this Agreement routinely
provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table
providers, that serve the lending interest shall be deemed not to be
confidential.

or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment,
attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise)
with respect to itself or any of its property, to the maximum extent permitted

herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor and (ii) the

hereinafter defined) hereby notifies the Parent that pursuant to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into
law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies the Parent, which information includes the name and
address of the Parent and other information that will allow such Lender to
identify the Parent in accordance with the Act.  Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each Lender agrees
that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the
Obligors or any authorized signatories of the Obligors on behalf of any Lender,
or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from
any Obligor or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

 

12.16.     Release of Guaranties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in any other Basic Document, the Administrative Agent is
hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to
or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by Section 12.05 hereof)
to take any action requested by the Parent having the effect of releasing any
guarantee obligations (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any
transaction not prohibited by any Basic Document or that has been consented to
in accordance with Section 12.05 hereof and (ii) on the Foreign Subsidiary

demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time
owing by such Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the
account of the Parent or other Obligor against any of and all the obligations of
the Parent or Obligor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or other
Basic Document held by such Lender or Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not
such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement and

Affiliate under this Section 12.17 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) which such Lender and Affiliate may have.

 

12.18.     Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party
hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising

on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted
by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

 

(iii)          the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with
the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution
Authority.
