requested Revolving Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period
is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, then
the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s
duration, and if no currency is specified with respect to any requested
Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to select a
Borrowing of dollars. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in
accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender
of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as
part of the requested Borrowing.
SECTION 2.04.     Swingline Loans. (1) Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the
Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate
principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $15,000,000,
(ii) the Swingline Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding its Commitment
or (iii) the Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the total Commitments;
provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline
Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow,
prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.
(a)    To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative
Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 1:00
p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such
notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be
a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative
Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from
the Borrower. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or
in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any
Lender) prior to 3:00 p.m. , New York City time, on the date of the proposed
borrowing (i) directing the Swingline Lender not to make such Swingline Loan as
a result of the limitations set forth in the first sentence of Section 2.04(a),
or (ii) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is
not then satisfied, the Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline

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

27

Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit
account of the Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a
Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as
provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.
(b)    The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative
Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require
the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion
of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate
amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate. Promptly upon
receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to
each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of
such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally
agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees
that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to
this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default
or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall
be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each
Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of
immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with
respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis
mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative
Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it
from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any
participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and
thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the
Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by
the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the
Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender
of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted
to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative
Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that
shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline
Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so
remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent,
as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to
the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan
pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the
payment thereof.
SECTION 2.05.     Letters of Credit. (1) General. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of
Credit as the applicant thereof for the support of its or its Subsidiaries’
obligations denominated in dollars or, to the extent the Issuing Bank then
issues letters of credit in any Approved Currency, in such Approved Currency, in
a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank,
at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event
of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other
agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with,
the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of
this Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation hereunder to issue any Letter of
Credit the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (i) to fund
any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any country or
territory that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of any Sanctions or
(ii) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any
party to this Agreement.

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

28

(a)    Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To
request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or
extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver
or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing
so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension, but in any event no less than three Business
Days in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in dollars and no less than
four Business Days in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Approved
Currency) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying
the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date
of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day),
the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with
paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, whether
such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in dollars or in an Approved
Currency, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other
information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter
of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a
letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection
with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued,
amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and
warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $50,000,000, (ii) the Revolving
Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Commitments and (iii) the Revolving
Credit Exposures denominated in Approved Currencies shall not exceed the
Approved Currency Sublimit.
(b)    Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (or be subject to
termination by notice from the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereof) at or
prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the
date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or
extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date
that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.
(c)    Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to
a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action
on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants
to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a
participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of
Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for
the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC
Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the
date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement
payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant
to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and
continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and
that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding
or reduction whatsoever.
(d)    Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in
respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement
by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement
not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day following the
date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received
notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
Business Day following the date of payment, or, if such notice has not been
received by the Borrower prior to such time on such

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

29

date, then not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the Business Day
that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to
10:00 a.m., New York City time on such Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day
immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such
notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt, provided that
the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein,
request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed
with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and,
to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall
be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline
Loan. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in any Approved Currency,
the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank in such currency, unless (A) the
Issuing Bank (at its option) shall have specified in the notice of such LC
Disbursement that it will require reimbursement in dollars, (B) in the absence
of any such requirement for reimbursement in dollars, the Borrower shall have
notified the Issuing Bank promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing
that the Borrower will reimburse the Issuing Bank in dollars or (C) the Borrower
shall have requested that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving
Borrowing or Swingline Loan. In the case of any such reimbursement in dollars of
a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in any Approved Currency, the
Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the
amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. If the
Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall
notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from
the Borrower in respect thereof (which in the case of any payment in any
Approved Currency shall be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof), and such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such
notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable
Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower (which in the case of any
payment in any Approved Currency shall be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof),
in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by
such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment
obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to
the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly
following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower
pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such
payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments
pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders
and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender
pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement
(other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as
contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the
Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. In the event that
(A) a drawing denominated in any Approved Currency is to be reimbursed in
dollars and (B) the dollar amount paid by the Borrower, including pursuant to an
ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan, shall not be adequate on the date of
that payment to purchase in accordance with normal banking procedures a sum
denominated in such Approved Currency equal to the drawing, the Borrower agrees,
as a separate and independent obligation, to indemnify the Issuing Bank for the
loss resulting from its inability on that date to purchase such Approved
Currency in the full amount of the drawing.
(e)    Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC
Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and
irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of
Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or
other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of
Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any adverse change in the relevant
exchange rates or in the availability of any Approved Currency to the Borrower
or

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

30

in the relevant currency markets generally or (v) any other event or
circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that
might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable
discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations
hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank,
nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by
reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit
or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of
the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error,
omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft,
notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit
(including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in
interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond
the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be
construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the
extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower
to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are
caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether
drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the
terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross
negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be
deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the
foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that,
with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in
substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank
may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such
documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such
Letter of Credit.
(f)    Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its
receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for
payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of
such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC
Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving
such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
(g)    Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement,
then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the
date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear
interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made
to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at
the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the
Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to
paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.12(d) shall apply. Interest
accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank,
except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender
pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be
for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.
(h)    Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any
time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent
shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the
time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all
unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to
Section 2.11(b). From and

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

31

after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank
shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this
Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and
(ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to
such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all
previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of
an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto
and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank
under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to
such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of
Credit.
(i)    Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans
has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50.1%
of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to
this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative
Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the
Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any
accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit
such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall
become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind,
upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower
described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the
Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the
Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and
control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over any such deposit
account. Other than any interest earned on any Permitted Investment of such
deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of
the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits
shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall
accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the
Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for
which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be
held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for
the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been
accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing
greater than 50.1% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other
obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to
provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of
an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall
be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of
Default have been cured or waived.
SECTION 2.06.     Funding of Borrowings. (1) Each Lender shall make each Loan to
be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds in the applicable currency by 12:00 noon, New York
City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated
by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans
shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make
such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so
received, in like funds in the applicable currency, to an account of the
Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and
designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that
ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as
provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the
Issuing Bank.
(a)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender
prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available
on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in
reliance

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

32

upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In
such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable
Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and
the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but
excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of
such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules
on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate
applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative
Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such
Borrowing.
SECTION 2.07.     Interest Elections. (1) Each Revolving Borrowing initially
shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the
case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period
as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to
convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in
the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods
therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different
options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which
case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the
Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion
shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to
Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.
(a)    To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify
the Administrative Agent of such election by hand delivery or telecopy to the
Administrative Agent of an irrevocable written Interest Election Request in a
form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower by the time
that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower
were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election
to be made on the effective date of such election.
(b)    Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in
compliance with Section 2.02:
(i)        the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if
different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof,
the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case
the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall
be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii)        the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest
Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)        whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a
Eurodollar Borrowing;
(iv)        in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, whether such Borrowing shall
be made in dollars or in an Approved Currency; and
(v)        if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest
Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which
shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

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

33

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does
not specify (x) an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration and (y) the currency, then
the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected the same currency as the Borrowing
being converted or continued.
(c)    Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such
Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(d)    If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with
respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided
herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to
an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the
request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an
Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be
converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each
Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end
of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
SECTION 2.08.     Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (1) Unless
previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.
(a)    The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the
Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an
amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000
and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after
giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with
Section 2.10, the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments.
(b)    The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to
terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least
three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or
reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly
following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the
Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant
to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of
the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is
conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case
such notice may be revoked or extended by the Borrower (by notice to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such
condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments
shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably
among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.
SECTION 2.09.     Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (1) The Borrower hereby
unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account
of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the
Maturity Date, and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount
of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first date
after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar
month; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the
Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.
(a)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an
account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender
resulting from each Loan made by such

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

34

Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such
Lender from time to time hereunder.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record
(i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the
Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest
due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender
hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent
hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
(c)    The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or
(c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts
of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or
the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall
not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Copies of the accounts maintained
pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section will be made available to the
Borrower upon the Borrower’s request.
(d)    Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory
note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a
promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such
Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the
Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note
and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to
Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form
payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is
a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).
SECTION 2.10.     Prepayment of Loans. (1) The Borrower shall have the right at
any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part,
subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.
(a)    The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of
prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by
telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a
Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time,
three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of
prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York
City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case
of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time,
on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall
specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or
portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given
in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as
contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked or
extended if such notice of termination is revoked or extended in accordance with
Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a
Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the
contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in
an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving
Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a
Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the
prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the
extent required by Section 2.12.
(b)    If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that the
sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds an amount equal to 105% of
the total Commitments then in effect, then, within two Business Days after
receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall prepay Loans and/or Cash
Collateralize the LC Exposure in an aggregate amount sufficient to cause the
total Revolving Credit

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

35

Exposures to be less than or equal to the total Commitments then in effect. The
Administrative Agent shall provide such notice to the Borrower upon the request
of any Lender if at such time the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures
exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the total Commitments then in effect. The
Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial
deposit of such Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be
provided in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations.
(c)    If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that the LC
Exposure exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the LC Sublimit, then, within two
Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall Cash
Collateralize the LC Exposure in an aggregate amount sufficient to cause the LC
Exposure to be less than or equal to the LC Sublimit. The Administrative Agent
may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of such Cash
Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to
protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations.
SECTION 2.11.     Fees. (1) Subject to Section 2.19(c), the Borrower agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender an Unused Fee,
which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate per annum on the daily unused amount
of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the
Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates.
For purposes of determining the unused amount of any Lender’s Commitment, the
amount of such Lender’s Swingline Exposure shall be deemed to be unused. Accrued
Unused Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June,
September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments
terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All
Unused Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be
payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day).
(a)    The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in
Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to
determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the
average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and
including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which
such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to
have any LC Exposure, and (ii) at such times as there shall be more than one
Lender, to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of
0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any
portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period
from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of
termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC
Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing
of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and
including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall
be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the
first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees
shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such
fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable
on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this
paragraph shall be payable within 10 Business Days after demand. All
participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of
360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including
the first day but excluding the last day).
(b)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own
account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Fee
Letter or otherwise separately agreed upon in writing between the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent.

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

36

(c)    All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately
available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the
case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of facility fees and
participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any
circumstances.
SECTION 2.12.     Interest. (1) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing
(including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate
plus the Applicable Rate.
(a)    The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the
Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the
Applicable Rate.
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any
Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid
when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such
overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate
per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the
rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs
of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate
applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.
(c)    Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon
termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to
paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of
any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an
ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued
interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date
of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any
Eurodollar Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period
therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date
of such conversion.
(d)    All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360
days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at
times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed
on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each
case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first
day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted
LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)    If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the
financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that (i) the Total
Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was
inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio would have
resulted in higher pricing for any resulting period, the Borrower shall
immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent
(or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief
with respect to such Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States,
automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that
should have been paid by the Borrower for such period over the amount of
interest and fees actually paid for such period by the Borrower.
SECTION 2.13.     Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of
any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

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

37

(a)    the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not
exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable,
for such Interest Period; or
(b)    the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the
Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included
in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the
Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and,
until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be
ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving
Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided that if
the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings,
then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.
SECTION 2.14.     Increased Costs. (1) If any Change in Law shall:
(i)        impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,
liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement,
insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for
the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve
requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank;
(ii)        impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank
market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this
Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation
therein; or
(iii)        subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified
Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of
Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal,
letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves,
other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender or such other Recipient of making, continuing, converting or maintaining
any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or
to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of
participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the
amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or
such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise),
then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other
Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case
may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law
regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on
the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters
of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing
Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such
Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved

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

38

but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the
Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s
holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time
to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the
Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such
reduction suffered.
(c)    A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or
amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding
company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business
Days after receipt thereof.
(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that
the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank
pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more
than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s
intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then
the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof.
SECTION 2.15.     Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest
Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default),
(b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue
or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered
pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under
Section 2.10(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith (other than solely by
reason of a Lender being a Defaulting Lender or any revocation pursuant to
Section 2.13)), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the
last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by
the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18 or Section 9.02(d), then, in any such
event (excluding any loss of the Applicable Rate on the relevant Revolving
Loan), the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense
attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or
expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such
Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have
accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the
Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period
from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period
therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the
period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the
amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period
at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the
commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and
period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender
setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive
pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount
shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt
thereof.
SECTION 2.16.     Taxes. (1) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or
on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be
made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by
applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith
discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or
withholding of any

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

39

Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable
withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and
shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an
Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be
increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made
(including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section 2.16) the applicable Recipient receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding
been made.
(a)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall timely pay
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at
the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.
(b)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes
by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16,
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 the return reporting such payment or other evidence of
such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(c)    Indemnification by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall jointly and
severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for
the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or
asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or
paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to
such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed
or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the
amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with
a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)    Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the
Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any
Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any
Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such
Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do
so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the
provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant
Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case,
that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan
Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the
relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment
or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing
to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the
Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due
to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
(e)    Status of Lenders. (1)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan
Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time
or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such
properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made
without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any
Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably

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

40

requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is
subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the
completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such
documentation set forth in Section 2.16(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below)
shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion,
execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed
cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position
of such Lender.
(i)        Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that
the Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a
Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed
originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S.
Federal backup withholding tax;
(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies
as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such
Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of
interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN
establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax
pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to
any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN
establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax

(2)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming that its extension of credit
will generate U.S. effectively connected income, executed originals of IRS Form
W-8ECI;
(3)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption
for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender
is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10
percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B)
of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section
881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed
originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or
(4)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed
originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a
U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form

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

41

of Exhibit C-2 or Exhibit C-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification
documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the
Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of
such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign
Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form
of Exhibit C-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies
as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such
Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a
basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding
Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to
U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to
comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those
contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law
(including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such
additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such
Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine
the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this
clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of
this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered
expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such
form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(f)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole
discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes
as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.16 (including by
the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16), it shall pay
to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent
of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes
giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes)
of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by
the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such
indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to
such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus
any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay
any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g)

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

42

the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net
after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax
subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted,
withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional
amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not
be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns
(or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to
the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(g)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive
the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of
rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments
and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan
Document.
(h)    FATCA. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA,
from and after the Effective Date the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat)
this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the
meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
(i)    Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term “Lender”
includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
SECTION 2.17.     Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.
(1) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder
(whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or
of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 1:00
p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds
and in the appropriate currency, without set off or counterclaim. Any amounts
received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the
Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding
Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments
shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New
York, New York, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or
Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant
to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons
entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments
received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient
promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a
day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest,
interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments
hereunder shall be made in dollars.
(a)    If at any time:
(i)         insufficient funds are received by and available to the
Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC
Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, or
(ii)        if any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent
after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
such funds shall be first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense
reimbursements including amounts then due to the Administrative Agent and the
Issuing Bank from the Loan Parties (other than in connection with Banking
Services Obligations or Swap Agreement Obligations), second, to pay any fees,
indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Loan
Parties (other than in connection with Banking Services Obligations or Swap
Agreement Obligations), third, to pay interest then due and

payable on the Loans ratably, fourth, to prepay principal on the Loans and
unreimbursed LC Disbursements and to pay any amounts owing with respect to Swap
Agreement Obligations and Banking Services Obligations up to and including the
respective amounts most recently provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant
to Section 2.20, ratably, fifth, to pay an amount to the Administrative Agent
equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the aggregate LC Exposure, to be
held as cash collateral for such Obligations, and sixth, to the payment of any
other Secured Obligation due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by any
Loan Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts received from any Loan Party
and proceeds from the Collateral of such Loan Party shall not be applied to any
Excluded Swap Obligation of such Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower, or
unless an Event of Default is in existence, neither the Administrative Agent nor
any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any Eurodollar Loan,
except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable thereto or
(b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding ABR
Loans and, in any such event, the Borrower shall pay the break funding payment
required in accordance with Section 2.15.
(b)    If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim
or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any
of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans
resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the
aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements
and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by
any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall
purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the
extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations
are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is
recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price
restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the
provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made
by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this
Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations
in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower
or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this
paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to
the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender
acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise
against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower
in the amount of such participation.
(c)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank 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 or the Issuing Bank,
as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in
fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to
it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the
greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation.

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

(d)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any amount paid by any
Loan Party for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether
on account of principal, interest, fees, reimbursement of LC Disbursements,
indemnity payments or other amounts) will be applied by the Administrative Agent
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 under this Agreement; second, to the payment of any
amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to each Issuing Bank and the Swingline
Lender under this Agreement; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s LC
Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.19;
fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default
exists) to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender
has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as
determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so reasonably determined by
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and
released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential
future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y)
Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s future LC Exposure with respect to such
Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this
Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.19; sixth, to the payment of any amounts
owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lender as a result of any
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the
Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of
such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;
seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any
amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender
as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this
Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a
court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment
of the principal amount of any Loans or unreimbursed LC Disbursements in respect
of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and
(y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time
when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such
payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, or payments in respect of
unreimbursed LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as
all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Disbursements and
Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the
Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.19(a). 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 2.17(e) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such
Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
SECTION 2.18.     Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (1) If any
Lender’s obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, or to continue or convert
outstanding Loans as or into Eurodollar Loans, is suspended pursuant to Section
2.13, if any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower
is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or
any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 2.16, 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 reinstate such Lender’s obligations to make, continue or convert
Eurodollar Borrowings, or eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to
Sections 2.14 or 2.16, 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 Borrower hereby agrees to pay all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by any Lender in
connection with any such designation or assignment so long as the Borrower
received prior notice of the making of such designation or assignment and the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank

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

45

and the Swingline Lender did not previously reject a request by the Borrower to
replace such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.18.
(a)    If any Lender’s obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, or to continue or
convert outstanding Loans as or into Eurodollar Loans, is suspended pursuant to
Section 2.13, if any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the
Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 2.16, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, 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
Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to
payments pursuant to Sections 2.14 or 2.16) 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 Borrower
shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and
if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender),
which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, delayed or conditioned,
(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and
Swingline 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 Borrower (in the case of all
other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a
claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made
pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such
compensation or payments. 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 Borrower to require such
assignment and delegation cease to apply.
SECTION 2.19.     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 shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of
such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a);
(b)    the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender
shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or
may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or
other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); 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 pursuant to Section 9.02(b);
(c)    if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i)        all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such
Defaulting Lender (other than the portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to
in clause (b) of the definition of such term) shall be reallocated among the
non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable
Percentages but only to the extent that (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting
Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline
Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting
Lenders’ Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are
satisfied at such time;

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

46

(ii)        if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can
only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within three Business Days
following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline
Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank
only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i)
above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j) for so
long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;
(iii)        if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be
required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b)
with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such
Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;
(iv)        if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated
pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to
Section 2.11(a) and Section 2.11(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such
non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and
(v)        if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is
neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii)
above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or
any other Lender hereunder, all Unused fees that otherwise would have been
payable to such Defaulting Lender and letter of credit fees payable under
Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be
payable to the Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is
reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and
(d)    so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall
not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be
required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is
satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding
LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting
Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance
with Section 2.19(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline
Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among
non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.19(c)(i) (and such
Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
If a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Lender Parent shall occur following the
date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue, the Swingline Lender
shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not
be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the
Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered
into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the
Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to
it in respect of such Lender hereunder.
In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender
and the Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately
remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the
Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect
the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall
purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline
Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for
such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

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

47

SECTION 2.20.     Banking Services and Swap Agreements. Each Lender or Affiliate
thereof providing Banking Services for, or having Swap Agreements with, any Loan
Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent (with a copy to the Borrower), promptly after entering into such Banking
Services or Swap Agreements, written notice setting forth the aggregate amount
of all Banking Services Obligations and Swap Agreement Obligations of such Loan
Party or Subsidiary thereof to such Lender or Affiliate (whether matured or
unmatured, absolute or contingent). In addition, each such Lender or Affiliate
thereof shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower)
from time to time after a significant change therein or upon a request therefor,
a summary of the amounts due or to become due in respect of such Banking
Services Obligations and Swap Agreement Obligations. The most recent information
provided to the Administrative Agent shall be used in determining the amounts to
be applied in respect of such Banking Services Obligations and/or Swap Agreement
Obligations pursuant to Section 2.17(b) and which tier of the waterfall,
contained in Section 2.17(b), such Banking Services Obligations and/or Swap
Agreement Obligations will be placed.
SECTION 2.21.     Increase in Commitments. (1) Request for Increase. Provided
there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall
promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time request an
increase in the Commitments by an amount (for all such increases) not exceeding
$100,000,000; provided that any such increase shall be in a minimum amount of
$25,000,000. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation
with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each
Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten
Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).
(a)    Increasing and Additional Lenders. Each Lender shall notify the
Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to
increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than,
or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested increase. Any Lender
not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to
increase its Commitment. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and
each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve
the full amount of the requested increase, the Borrower may designate any other
Person (which may be, but need not be, an existing Lender), unless such Person
is a Lender with a Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such
increase, subject to the approval of (i) the Administrative Agent, (ii) the
Issuing Bank and (iii) the Swingline Lender, other than an Ineligible
Institution, and which at the time agrees in its sole discretion to (x) in the
case of any such designated Lender that is an existing Lender, increase its
Commitment, and (y) in the case of any other such Person, become a party to this
Agreement pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent and its counsel.
(b)    Effective Date and Allocations. If the Commitments are increased in
accordance with this Section, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall
determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final
allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the
Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective
Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any increased Commitments shall be subject to
the same terms and conditions as all other Commitments.
(c)    Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such
increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate
of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies
for each Lender) signed by a Financial Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying
and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting
to such increase, and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to
such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article III
and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party are true and correct in all
material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not apply to

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

48

any representations and warranties that are qualified or modified by materiality
in the text thereof) on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the
extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier
date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (except
that such materiality qualifier shall not apply to any representations and
warranties that are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) as
of such earlier date, (B) no Default shall have occurred and (C) the Borrower
would be in compliance with Section 6.09 on a pro forma basis as of the last day
of the most recently-ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements are
available. The Borrower shall prepay any Loans outstanding on the Increase
Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section
2.15) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans ratable with any
revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the
Commitments under this Section.
(d)    Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in
Section 2.17 or 9.02 to the contrary.

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

ARTICLE III
Representations and Warranties
The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:
SECTION 3.01.     Organization; Powers. Each of the Borrower and its Material
Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and
authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the
failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in,
and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is
required.
SECTION 3.02.     Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within the
Borrower’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate and, if required, stockholder action. This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general
principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity
or at law.
SECTION 3.03.     Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do
not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any
other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained
or made and are in full force and effect, (b) will not violate any applicable
law or regulation or the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental
Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture,
agreement or other instrument binding upon the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any
payment to be made by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and (d) will not
result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries (other than Liens permitted under Section 6.02(a)).
SECTION 3.04.     Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (1) The
Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet
and statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows (i) as of and for
the fiscal year ended January 3, 2015, reported on by Grant Thornton LLP,
independent public accountants, and (ii) as of and for the fiscal quarter and
the portion of the fiscal year ended October 3, 2015, certified by its chief
financial officer. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the
Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods
in accordance with GAAP (in effect as of the date hereof), subject to year end
audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements
referred to in clause (ii) above.
(j)    Since January 3, 2015, there has been no material adverse change in the
business, assets, operations or financial condition of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
SECTION 3.05.     Properties. (1) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has
good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal
property material to its business, except for minor defects in title that do not
interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to
utilize such properties for their intended purposes.

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

50

(b)    Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use,
all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property
necessary to its business except to the extent such failure to own or license
such intellectual property could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect and the use thereof by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not
infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements
that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.06.     Litigation and Environmental Matters. (1) There are no
actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental
Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened
against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (i) that could
reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a
Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve
this Agreement or the Transactions.
(e)    Except with respect to any matters that, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to
comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any
permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has
become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any
claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for
any Environmental Liability.
(f)    Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the status
of the Disclosed Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in
a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.07.     Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any
Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures,
agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except for the
Disclosed Matters and otherwise where the failure to do so, individually or in
the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.
SECTION 3.08.     Investment Company Status. Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation
under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.
SECTION 3.09.     Taxes. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has timely
filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been
filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by
it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has
set aside on its books adequate reserves or (b) to the extent that the failure
to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.
SECTION 3.10.     ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected
to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which
liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated
benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date
of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by an
amount that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect
the fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all
accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the
assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements

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

51

reflecting such amounts, exceed by an amount that could reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect the fair market value of the assets of
all such underfunded Plans.
SECTION 3.11.     Disclosure. The Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders all
agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any
of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that to the
knowledge of the Borrower, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the reports, financial
statements, certificates or other information (other than general economic or
industry information) furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this
Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other
information so furnished), taken as a whole, contains any material misstatement
of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
materially misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial
information (including without limitation budgets, estimates and forecasts), the
Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based
upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.
SECTION 3.12.     Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. The Borrower has
implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure
compliance in all material respects by the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their
respective directors, officers, employees and agents (in their respective
capacities as such) with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions, and the
Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective officers and employees and to
the knowledge of the Borrower its directors and agents (in their respective
capacities as such), are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable
Sanctions in all material respects. None of (a) the Borrower, any Subsidiary or,
to the knowledge of the Borrower, any of their respective directors, officers or
employees, or (b) to the knowledge of the Borrower, any agent of the Borrower or
any Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from
the credit facility established hereby, is a Sanctioned Person. No Borrowing or
Letter of Credit, use of proceeds or other transaction contemplated by this
Agreement will violate any Anti-Corruption Law in any material respect or
applicable Sanctions.

Lenders may exercise rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under
this Section 5.06 and the Administrative Agent shall not exercise such rights
more often than two (2) times during any consecutive four fiscal quarter period
absent the existence of a Default and only one (1) such time shall be at the

of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, rules, regulations and orders of

expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower will maintain in

material respects by the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective
directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and
applicable Sanctions.
SECTION 5.08.     Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit. The proceeds of the

Guarantors in the ordinary course of business (including the purchase of a new
headquarters facility and improvements, permitted Acquisitions and permitted

directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of any of the
Regulations of the Board, including

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

58

Regulations T, U and X. Letters of Credit will be issued only to support the
general corporate purposes of the Borrower and the Guarantors in the ordinary

offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of
money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any
Anti-Corruption Laws, (B) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating
any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in
any Sanctioned Country, to the extent such activities, businesses or transaction
would be prohibited by Sanctions if conducted by a corporation incorporated in
the United States or in a European Union member state, or (C) in any manner that
would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto.
SECTION 5.09.     Additional Guarantors. The Borrower will notify the
Administrative Agent within 30 days (or such later date as determined by the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) that any Person that is either a
Material Subsidiary or directly owns a Material Subsidiary becomes a Subsidiary,
or that any Immaterial Subsidiary is re-designated as a Material Subsidiary, and
promptly thereafter (and in any event within 45 days or such later date as
determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion): (a) if such Material
Subsidiary is a U.S. Person, is directly or indirectly wholly owned by the
Borrower and is not a CFC Holding Company, Borrower shall cause such Material
Subsidiary to become a Guarantor by executing and delivering to the
Administrative Agent a counterpart of the Guaranty, or such other document as
the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate for such purpose, and (b) if any
such Material Subsidiary is a U.S. Person, is not a CFC Holding Company, and is
not a direct or indirect subsidiary of a CFC, Borrower shall cause the
appropriate Person to deliver to the Administrative Agent agreements or
supplements, as the case may be, in substantially the form of Annex I to the
Subsidiaries Security Agreement and to the Pledge Agreement, as applicable, in
respect of the shares and/or other assets of such Material Subsidiary and other
documents required pursuant thereto and favorable opinions of counsel to such
Person (which shall cover, among other things, the legality, validity, binding
effect and enforceability of the documentation referred to in this Section

Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence, in no
event shall Borrower be required to (i) cause any CFC, CFC Holding Company or
SPE to become a Guarantor, (ii) pledge, or cause to be pledged, to any Secured
Party any of the share capital or indebtedness of a CFC, CFC Holding Company or
SPE or (iii) cause to be granted to any Secured Party a security interest in any
of the assets of a CFC, CFC Holding Company or SPE.

ARTICLE VIII
The Administrative Agent
Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the
Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to
take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to
the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same
rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank
and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage
in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate
thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other
implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing,
(b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary
action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and
powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required
to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as
provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be
liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving
as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The
Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as
provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have
knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the
Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent
shall not 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 in connection herewith,
(iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other
terms or conditions set forth herein, (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 the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative 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 believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent
also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed
by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for
relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who
may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts
selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

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

71

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its
rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may
perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their
respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding
paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
Administrative 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 Administrative Agent.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as
provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by
notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the
Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed
by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then
the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing
Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an
office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor,
such successor shall 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. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent
shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed
between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s
resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative 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 it was acting as Administrative
Agent.
Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder
are commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a business
enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in
making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its
business and has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
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 as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender
shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain
material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States
securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) 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 related agreement or
any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the
extent to which it will continue as a Lender or assign or otherwise transfer its
rights, interests and obligations hereunder.

The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for
the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of
the Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. The
Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to
enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after the date
such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement.

In its capacity, the Administrative Agent is a “representative” of the Secured
Parties within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the UCC.
Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into the Security
Documents and to take all action contemplated thereby. Each Lender

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

72

agrees that no Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have
the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Loan
Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be
exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties upon the terms of the Loan Documents. In the event that any Collateral
is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Secured
Obligations, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, and hereby granted a
power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Secured Parties any
Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such
Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties
and to take all actions contemplated thereby. The Administrative Agent shall not
be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any
representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of
the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative
Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in
connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or
liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the
Collateral.

The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its
option and in its discretion,

(a)    to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (x) upon termination of all
Commitments and payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than (A)
contingent indemnification obligations and (B) Banking Services Obligations and
Swap Agreement Obligations as to which arrangements satisfactory to the
applicable Secured Party shall have been made) and the expiration or termination
of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other
arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank shall
have been made)), (y) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or
otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other
disposition permitted under the Loan Documents, or (z) subject to Section 9.02,
if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; and

(b)    to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such
Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under
the Loan Documents.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will
confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest
in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its
obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Article VIII.

(s)    Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices
and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All
notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date
of receipt.
(t)    Electronic Systems.
(i)        The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not
be obligated to, make Communications (as defined below) available to the Issuing
Banks and the other Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain,
Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a substantially similar Electronic System.
(ii)        Any Electronic System used by the Administrative Agent is provided
“as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant
the adequacy of such Electronic Systems and expressly disclaim liability for
errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express,
implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of
third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any
Agent Party in connection with the Communications or any Electronic System. In
no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties
(collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any
Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind,
including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or
consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or
otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s
transmission of communications through an Electronic System. “Communications”
means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or
other material provided by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to any Loan
Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank by means of electronic
communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Electronic System.
SECTION 9.02.     Waivers; Amendments. (1) No failure or delay by the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or
power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights
and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders
hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that
they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or
consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) or (c) of this
Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not
be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or
knowledge of such Default at the time.
(e)    Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or
modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into
by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no
such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the
written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or
LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees
payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender

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

75

affected thereby; provided, however, that only the consent of the Required
Lenders shall be necessary (A) to amend or waive default interest pursuant
hereto or (B) to amend any financial covenant (or any term defined therein) even
if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any
Loan or Letter of Credit or to reduce any fee payable hereunder, (iii) postpone
the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC
Disbursement (including the waiver of any mandatory prepayment), or any interest
thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse
any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any
Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby,
(iv) change Section 2.17(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata
sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each
Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of
“Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or
percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or
make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written
consent of each Lender or (vi) release any Guarantor from its obligations under
the Loan Documents or release all or substantially all Collateral, in each case
without the consent of each Lender, other than any such release expressly
contemplated under Article VIII; provided further that no such agreement shall
amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder (including any
amendments or modifications to Section 2.19) without the prior written consent
of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the
case may be; provided further that the Fee Letter may be amended in writing
entered into by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent;
provided further that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the
consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any
Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected
Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
(f)    If the Administrative Agent and the Borrower acting together identify any
ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such
provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or
other defect, and such amendment shall become effective without any further
action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, for the
avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not apply in the case of amendments,
modifications or supplements requiring the consent of each Lender, each affected
Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, pursuant to
clause (b) above.
(g)    If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent
requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender directly affected
thereby”, including any request by the Borrower to add a new currency (other
than Sterling, Euros or Yen) as an additional Approved Currency, the consent of
the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is
not obtained (any such Lender who consent is necessary but not obtained being
referred to herein as “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may elect to
replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided
that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which
reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall
agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and the other Obligations
due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and
become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all
obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to
comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the
Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of
replacement all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such
Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to an including the date of
termination.

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

SECTION 9.03.     Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (1) The Borrower shall pay
(i) all reasonable out of pocket expenses actually incurred by the
Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges
and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with
the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein, the preparation and
administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of
the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby shall be consummated) (but limited, in the case of legal fees and
expenses of legal counsel, to the actual reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Sole Lead Arranger,

out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand
for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the

charges and disbursements of one primary counsel, one local counsel and, in the
case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, any other primary and/or
local counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders), in connection with
the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in
connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including
all such out-of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.
(d)    The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
and 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 related
expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any
counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee
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 the consummation of the
Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or
Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by
the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the
documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with
the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or
release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the
Borrower 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 or not such claim, litigation, investigation or
proceeding is brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or their
respectiveequity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other third Person and
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that (A) for claims made by an
Indemnitee pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 9.03(b), the Borrower shall
not be liable for legal fees and expenses of legal counsel with respect to any
individual claims, damages, losses, liabilities or expenses of more than one
primary counsel, one local counsel and, in the case of an actual or perceived
conflict of interest, any other primary and/or local counsel to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (B) such indemnity shall not, as to
any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This Section 9.03(b)
shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent
losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.
(e)    To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be
paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender
under paragraph (a) or (b) of this

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

77

Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, 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, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in
its capacity as such.
(f)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, the no party hereto shall
assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other party, 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 or thereby, the Transactions, any
Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that,
nothing in this clause (d) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may
have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.
(g)    All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten
Business Days after written demand therefor.
SECTION 9.04.     Successors and Assigns. (1) 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 (including any Affiliate of
the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower
may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment
or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and
(ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations
hereunder except in accordance with this Section. 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
(including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit),
Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to
the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(d)    (1)    Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below,
any Lender may assign to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible
Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to
it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) of:
(A)    the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required
for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;
(B)    the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative
Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Commitment to an assignee that
is a Lender with a Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such
assignment;
(C)    the Issuing Bank, and
(D)    the Swingline Lender.
(ix)        Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

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

78

(A)    except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a
Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or 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) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such
consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing;
(B)    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,
provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a
proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in
respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;
(C)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent (x) an Assignment and Assumption or (y) to the extent
applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference
pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to
the Assignment and Assumption are participants), together with a processing and
recordation fee of $3,500; and
(D)    the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee
designates one or more Credit Contacts to whom all syndicate-level information
(which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its
related parties or its securities) will be made available and who may receive
such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and
applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.
For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” and
“Ineligible Institution” have the following meanings:
“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged
in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions
of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or
managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an
Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.
“Ineligible Institution” means (a) a natural person, (b) a Defaulting Lender,
(c) the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or (d) a company, investment vehicle
or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person
or relative(s) thereof; provided that, such company, investment vehicle or trust
shall not constitute an Ineligible Assignee if it (x) has not been established
for the primary purpose of acquiring any Loans or Commitments, (y) is managed by
a professional advisor, who is not such natural person or a relative thereof,
having significant experience in the business of making or purchasing commercial
loans, and (z) has assets greater than $25,000,000 and a significant part of its
activities consist of making or purchasing commercial loans and similar
extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business.
(x)        Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption the

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

79

assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto 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 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03). Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with this Section 9.04 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 paragraph (c) of this Section.
(xi)        The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary
agent of the Borrower, 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 Commitment of, and principal
amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each
Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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, the
Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.
(xii)        Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and Assumption
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee or (y) to the extent applicable,
an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to
a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the
Assignment and Assumption are participants), the assignee's completed
Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender
hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of
this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by
paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such
Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the
Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall
have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.17(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative
Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and
record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment
shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No
assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been
recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(e)    Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or
more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible
Institution, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing
to it); 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 Borrower,
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other 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

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

80

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, modification or waiver
described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant.
The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 (subject to the requirements and limitations
therein, including the requirements under 2.16(f) (it being understood that the
documentation required under Section 2.16(f) shall be delivered to the
participating Lender and the information and documentation required under
Section 2.16(g) will be delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent))
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 Section 2.18 as if it
were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be
entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16, 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 Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the
applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the
Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the
Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.18(b) with respect to any
Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided
that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were
a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this
purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the
name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated
interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under
the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall
have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register
(including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a
Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other
obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that
such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of
Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of
the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register
shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such
participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to
the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its
capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a
Participant Register.
(f)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or
any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such
Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any
such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge
or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender
as a party hereto.
SECTION 9.05.     Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other
instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be
considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit,
regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf
and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect
representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any
accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this
Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and
so long as the Commitments have not expired or

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

81

terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and
Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the
Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the
Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
SECTION 9.06.     Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic
Execution. (1) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different
parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single
contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees
payable to the Administrative Agent 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 which, when
taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns.
(e)    Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement
by telecopy, emailed pdf, or any other electronic means that reproduces an image
of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,”
“signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to
any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries
or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same

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

83

and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (d) to any other party to
this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or
any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of
rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any permitted assignee
of or Participant in, or any prospective permitted assignee of or Participant
in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii)  any actual or
prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction

basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section,
“Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the
Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential
basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower and other than information pertaining
to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers,
including league table providers, that serve the lending industry; provided
that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date
hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as
confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information
as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its
obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to
maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to
its own confidential information.

(a)    EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(a)
FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC

NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW,
INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
(b)    ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED
BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF
ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY
CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER, THE LOAN PARTIES AND
THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER
REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED
IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION
THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS
COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.
SECTION 9.14.     Authorization to Distribute Certain Materials to
Public-Siders.
(e)    If the Borrower does not file this Agreement with the SEC, then the
Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to distribute the execution
version of this Agreement and the Loan Documents to all Lenders, including their
Public-Siders. The Borrower acknowledges its understanding that Public-Siders
and their firms may be trading in any of the Parties’ respective securities
while in possession of the Loan Documents.

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

84

(f)    The Borrower represents and warrants that none of the information in the
Loan Documents constitutes or contains material non-public information within
the meaning of the federal and state securities laws. To the extent that any of
the executed Loan Documents constitutes at any time a material non-public
information within the meaning of the federal and state securities laws after
the date hereof, the Company agrees that it will promptly make such information
publicly available by press release or public filing with the SEC.
SECTION 9.15.     Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together
with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such
Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum
lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken,
received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with
applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder,
together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the
Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have
been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the
operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges
payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased
(but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together
with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of
repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
SECTION 9.16.     USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into
law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to
the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name
and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to
identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.
SECTION 9.17.     California Judicial Reference. If any action or proceeding is
filed in a court of the State of California by or against any party hereto in
connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, (a) the parties agree, and hereby agree to advise the
applicable court, that the adjudication of any such action or proceeding (and
all related claims) shall be made pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 638 by a referee (who shall be a single active or retired judge) who
shall hear and determine all of the issues in such action or proceeding (whether
of fact or of law) and report a statement of decision, provided that at the
option of any party to such proceeding, any such issues pertaining to a
“provisional remedy” as defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section
1281.8 shall be heard and determined by the court, and (b) without limiting the
generality of Section 9.03, the Borrower shall be solely responsible to pay all
fees and expenses of any referee appointed in such action or proceeding.
SECTION 9.18.     Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment
in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Borrower 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 such other currency at the Administrative
Agent’s New York office on the Business Day preceding that on which final
judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to
any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent 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, the Issuing Bank 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

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

85

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, the
Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the Specified
Currency, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do
so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify
such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be,
against such loss.

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

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly
executed and delivered by their respective authorized officers as of the day and
year first above written.
