to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in

(b)    For purposes of determining compliance with Sections 7.01 and 7.02, no
Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result
of changes in Spot Rates occurring after the time any Lien or Indebtedness is
created or incurred. For purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.09,
the amount of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness denominated in any currency other
than Dollars will be converted into Dollars based on the relevant Spot Rate(s)
in effect as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Company for which the

Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., 5 Business Days after receipt
of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of
Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans in such requested currency.
(b)    Any failure by a Lender to respond to such request within the time period
specified in Section 1.06(b) shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Lender to
permit Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans to be made in such requested currency.
If the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders consent to making Eurocurrency
Rate Committed Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall
so notify the Company and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all
purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Committed
Borrowings of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans. If the Administrative Agent
shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under
this Section 1.06, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the
Company.

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

Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (1) the

Committed Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars. If the applicable
Borrower fails to specify a Type of Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or
if such Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or
continuation, then the applicable Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted
to, Base Rate Loans; provided, that, in the case of a failure to timely request
a continuation of Committed Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, such
Committed Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans in their
original currency with an Interest Period of one month. Any automatic conversion

then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans.
If the applicable Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or
continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans in any such Committed Loan
Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have
specified an Interest Period of one month. No Committed Loan may be converted
into or continued as a Committed Loan denominated in a different currency, but

reborrowed in the other currency.
(a)    Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount (and currency) of its Applicable
Percentage of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a
conversion or continuation is provided by the applicable Borrower, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic
conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation of Committed Loans denominated in
a currency other than Dollars, in each case as described in the preceding
subsection. In the case of a Committed Borrowing, each Lender shall make the
amount of its Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same-Day
Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later
than 2:00 p.m., in the case of any Committed Loan denominated in Dollars, and
not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the
case of any Committed Loan in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the
Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if
such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the
Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Company
or the other applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative
Agent either by (i) crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of Bank
of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in
each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable
to) the Administrative Agent by the Company. Each Lender may, at its option,
make any Loan available to any Designated Borrower that is a Foreign Borrower by
causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such
Loan; provided, that, any exercise of such option shall not affect the
obligation of such Designated Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.
(b)    Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan
may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for
such Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan. During the existence of an Event of
Default, the Required Lenders may demand

28
 

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

that any or all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans
denominated in an Alternative Currency be prepaid, or redenominated into Dollars
in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then
current Interest Period with respect thereto.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the
Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency
Rate Committed Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that
Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Company and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in
determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such
change.
(d)    After giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions of
Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Committed
Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in
effect with respect to the Committed Loans.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Lender
may exchange, continue or rollover all or the portion of its Loans in connection
with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction
permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement
mechanism approved by the Company, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.

its sole and absolute discretion, the Company may not submit a Bid Request if it
has submitted another Bid Request within the prior five Business Days.

Request received by it from the Company and the contents of such Bid Request.

29
 

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

(i)    Each Lender may (but shall have no obligation to) submit a Competitive
Bid containing an offer to make one or more Bid Loans in response to such Bid
Request. Such Competitive Bid must be delivered to the Administrative Agent not
later than 10:30 a.m. (A) on the requested date of any Bid Borrowing that is to
consist of Absolute Rate Loans, and (B) three Business Days prior to the
requested date of any Bid Borrowing that is to consist of Eurodollar Margin Bid
Loans; provided, that, any Competitive Bid submitted by Bank of America in its
capacity as a Lender in response to any Bid Request must be submitted to the
Administrative Agent not later than 10:15 a.m. on the date on which Competitive
Bids are required to be delivered by the other Lenders in response to such Bid
Request. Each Competitive Bid shall specify (1) the proposed date of the Bid
Borrowing; (2) the principal amount of each Bid Loan for which such Competitive
Bid is being made, which principal amount (x) may be equal to, greater than or
less than the Commitment of the bidding Lender, (y) must be $5,000,000 or a
whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (z) may not exceed the
principal amount of Bid Loans for which Competitive Bids were requested; (3) if
the proposed Bid Borrowing is to consist of Absolute Rate Bid Loans, the
Absolute Rate offered for each such Bid Loan and the Interest Period applicable
thereto; (4) if the proposed Bid Borrowing is to consist of Eurodollar Margin
Bid Loans, the Eurodollar Bid Margin with respect to each such Eurodollar Margin
Bid Loan and the Interest Period applicable thereto; and (5) the identity of the
bidding Lender.
(ii)    Any Competitive Bid shall be disregarded if it (A) is received after the
applicable time specified in clause (ii) above, (B) is not substantially in the
form of a Competitive Bid as specified herein, (C) contains qualifying,
conditional or similar language, (D) proposes terms other than or in addition to
those set forth in the applicable Bid Request, or (E) is otherwise not
responsive to such Bid Request. Any Lender may correct a Competitive Bid
containing a manifest error by submitting a corrected Competitive Bid
(identified as such) not later than the applicable time required for submission
of Competitive Bids. Any such submission of a corrected Competitive Bid shall
constitute a revocation of the Competitive Bid that contained the manifest
error. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, notify any
Lender of any manifest error it detects in such Lender’s Competitive Bid.
(iii)    Subject only to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.03 and 4.02 and
clause (iii) above, each Competitive Bid shall be irrevocable.
(c)    Notice to Borrower of Competitive Bids. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) on
the requested date of any Bid Borrowing that is to consist of Absolute Rate
Loans, or (ii) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Bid
Borrowing that is to consist of Eurodollar Margin Bid Loans, the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Company of the identity of each Lender that has submitted
a Competitive Bid that complies with Section 2.03(c) and of the terms of the
offers contained in each such Competitive Bid.
(d)    Acceptance of Competitive Bids. Not later than 11:30 a.m. (i) on the
requested date of any Bid Borrowing that is to consist of Absolute Rate Loans,
and (ii) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Bid Borrowing
that is to consist of Eurodollar Margin Bid Loans, the Company shall notify the
Administrative Agent of its acceptance or rejection of the offers notified to it
pursuant to Section 2.03(d). The Company shall be under no obligation to accept
any Competitive Bid and may choose to reject all Competitive Bids. In the case
of acceptance, such notice shall

30
 

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

specify the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bids for each Interest
Period that is accepted. The Company may accept any Competitive Bid in whole or
in part; provided, that:
(i)    the aggregate principal amount of each Bid Borrowing may not exceed the
applicable amount set forth in the related Bid Request;
(ii)    the principal amount of each Bid Loan must be $5,000,000 or a whole
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;
(iii)    the acceptance of offers may be made only on the basis of ascending
Absolute Rates or Eurodollar Bid Margins within each Interest Period; and
(iv)    the Company may not accept any offer that is described in Section
2.03(c)(iii) or that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements hereof.
(e)    Procedure for Identical Bids. If two or more Lenders have submitted
Competitive Bids at the same Absolute Rate or Eurodollar Bid Margin, as the case
may be, for the same Interest Period, and the result of accepting all of such
Competitive Bids in whole (together with any other Competitive Bids at lower
Absolute Rates or Eurodollar Bid Margins, as the case may be, accepted for such
Interest Period in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.03(e)(iii))
would be to cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the applicable
Bid Borrowing to exceed the amount specified therefor in the related Bid
Request, then, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, the Administrative Agent
and such Lenders, such Competitive Bids shall be accepted as nearly as possible
in proportion to the amount offered by each such Lender in respect of such
Interest Period, with such accepted amounts being rounded to the nearest whole
multiple of $1,000,000.
(f)    Notice to Lenders of Acceptance or Rejection of Bids. The Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Lender having submitted a Competitive Bid
whether or not its offer has been accepted and, if its offer has been accepted,
of the amount of the Bid Loan or Bid Loans to be made by it on the date of the
applicable Bid Borrowing. Any Competitive Bid or portion thereof that is not
accepted by the Company by the applicable time specified in Section 2.03(e)
shall be deemed rejected.
(g)    Notice of Eurocurrency Rate. If any Bid Borrowing is to consist of
Eurodollar Margin Bid Loans, the Administrative Agent shall determine the
Eurocurrency Rate for the relevant Interest Period, and promptly after making
such determination, shall notify the Company and the Lenders that will be
participating in such Bid Borrowing of such Eurocurrency Rate.
(h)    Funding of Bid Loans. Each Lender that has received notice pursuant to
Section 2.03(g) that all or a portion of its Competitive Bid has been accepted
by the Company shall make the amount of its Bid Loan(s) available to the
Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative
Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the requested Bid
Borrowing. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section
4.02, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the
Company in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.
(i)    Notice of Range of Bids. After each Competitive Bid auction pursuant to
this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender that
submitted a Competitive Bid in such auction of the ranges of bids submitted
(without the bidder’s name) and accepted for each Bid Loan and the aggregate
amount of each Bid Borrowing.

Section 2.04.    [Reserved].

Section 2.05.    Swing Line Loans.
(a)    The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders
set forth in this Section 2.05, to make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a
“Swing Line Loan”) to the Company from time to time on any Business Day during
the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time
outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit; provided, that, (x) after
giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not
exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the
Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans, plus, without duplication, the
aggregate Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans advanced by such Lender in its
capacity as the Swing Line Lender, shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment,
and (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender,
plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing
Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, (y) the Company shall not
use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line
Loan and (z) the Swing Line Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any
Swing Line Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive
and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by such Credit Extension may
have, Fronting Exposure. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other
terms and conditions hereof, the Company may borrow under this Section 2.05,
prepay under Section 2.06, and reborrow under this Section 2.05. Each Swing Line
Loan shall bear interest only at a rate based on the Base Rate plus the
Applicable Rate. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender
shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to,
purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan
in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times
the amount of such Swing Line Loan.
(a)    Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the
Company’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative
Agent, which may be given by telephone or by a Swing Line Loan Notice; provided,
that, any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing
Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a Swing Line Loan Notice. Each such
notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent
not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i)
the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $5,000,000, and (ii) the
requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic
notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the
Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Promptly after
receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line
Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing)
that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and,
if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone
or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has
received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent
(including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the
proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make
such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to
the first sentence of Section 2.05(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable
conditions specified in Article 4 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00
p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing

32
 

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

Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the
Company at its office by crediting the account of the Company on the books of
the Swing Line Lender in Same-Day Funds.
(b)    Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.
(i)    The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may
request, on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing
Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate
Committed Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the
amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in
writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for
purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02,
without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal
amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the
Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing
Line Lender shall furnish the Company with a copy of the applicable Committed
Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent.
Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the
amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative
Agent in Same-Day Funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the
Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments not later than
1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject
to Section 2.05(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be
deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan to the Company in such amount.
The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line
Lender.
(i)    If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a
Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.05(c)(i), the request for Base
Rate Committed Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein
shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the
Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each
Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line
Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such
participation.
(ii)    If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such
Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(c) by the time
specified in Section 2.05(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to
recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand,
such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is
required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing
Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time
to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees
customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing.
If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the
amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the
relevant Committed Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line
Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to
any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing
under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iii)    Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or to purchase and
fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(c)
shall be absolute

33
 

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

and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A)
any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender
may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Company or any other Person for any
reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any
other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing; provided, that, each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans
pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Company of a Committed Loan Notice). No
such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the
obligation of the Company to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as
provided herein.
(c)    Repayment of Participations.
(i)    At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk
participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any
payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will
distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as
those received by the Swing Line Lender.
(i)    If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal
or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line
Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including
pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its
discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable
Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon
from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per
annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make
such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the
Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations
and the termination of this Agreement.
(d)    Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be
responsible for invoicing the Company for interest on the Swing Line Loans.
Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Committed Loan or risk participation
pursuant to this Section 2.05 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage
of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall
be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.
(e)    Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Company shall make all
payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly
to the Swing Line Lender.

Section 2.06.    Prepayments.
(a)    Each Borrower may, upon notice from such Borrower to the Administrative
Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in
whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided, that, unless otherwise
agreed by the Administrative Agent, (i) such notice must be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (A) three Business Days prior to
any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in
Dollars, (B) four Business Days (or five Business Days, in the case of
prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in Special Notice
Currencies) prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans
denominated in Alternative Currencies, and (C) on the date of prepayment of Base
Rate Committed Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans
denominated in Dollars shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; (iii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency
Rate Committed Loans

34
 

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

denominated in Alternative Currencies shall be in a minimum principal amount of
$5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iv) any
prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if
less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice
shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of
Committed Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans are to
be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will
promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the
amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice
is given by a Borrower, such Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment
amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified
therein; provided, that, such notice may specify that such prepayment is
conditioned upon the consummation of a particular transaction or refinancing of
the Indebtedness hereunder. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan
shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together
with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such
prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans of the Lenders in accordance
with their respective Applicable Percentages.
(a)    No Bid Loan may be prepaid without the prior consent of the applicable
Bid Loan Lender.
(b)    The Company may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay
Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided, that,
unless otherwise agreed by the Swing Line Lender, (i) such notice must be
received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than
1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be
in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000. Each such notice shall specify the
date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Company, the
Company shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such
notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
(c)    If the Administrative Agent notifies the Company at any time that (i)
other than as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the Total
Outstandings at such time exceed the Aggregate Commitments, or (ii) solely as a
result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the Total Outstandings at
such time exceed an amount equal to 105% of the Aggregate Commitments, then, in
any such case, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the
Borrowers shall prepay Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such
Outstanding Amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed the
Aggregate Commitments.
(d)    If the Administrative Agent notifies the Company at any time that the
Outstanding Amount of all Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies at such
time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit, then,
within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall
prepay Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Outstanding Amount
as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed the Alternative Currency
Sublimit.

Section 2.07.    Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Company may, upon
notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice may be conditioned upon the
consummation of a particular transaction or refinancing of the Indebtedness
hereunder), terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time
permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments; provided, that, unless otherwise
agreed by the Administrative Agent, (i) any such notice shall be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 1:00

35
 

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

p.m. three Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any
such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any
whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Company shall not
terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto
and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed
the Aggregate Commitments, and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of
the Aggregate Commitments, the Alternative Currency Sublimit, the Bid Loan
Sublimit, the Designated Borrower Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds
the amount of the Aggregate Commitments, such sublimit shall be automatically
reduced by the amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent will promptly
notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the
Aggregate Commitments. The amount of any such Aggregate Commitment reduction
shall not be applied to the Alternative Currency Sublimit unless otherwise
specified by the Company. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be
applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage.
All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate
Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

Section 2.08.    Repayment of Loans.
(a)    Each Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the
aggregate principal amount of all Committed Loans made to such Borrower
outstanding on such date.
(a)    The Company shall repay each Bid Loan on the last day of the Interest
Period in respect thereof.
(b)    The Company shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of
(i) the date ten Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity
Date.

Section 2.09.    Interest.
(a)    Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurocurrency
Rate Committed Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency
Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate plus (in the case of a
Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan of any Lender which is lent from a Lending
Office in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State) the Mandatory
Cost; (ii) each Base Rate Committed Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate; (iii) each Bid Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for the Interest Period
therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest
Period plus (or minus) the Eurodollar Bid Margin, or at the Absolute Rate for
such Interest Period, as the case may be; and (iv) each Swing Line Loan shall
bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable
borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Rate. To the extent that any calculation of interest or any fee required to be
paid under this Agreement shall be based on (or result in) a calculation that is
less than zero, such calculation shall be deemed zero for purposes of this
Agreement.
(a)    (i)    If any Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(a), Section
8.01(f), or Section 8.01(g) has occurred and is continuing, any overdue amount
shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all
times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Laws.
(i)    Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on
past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

36
 

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

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

Section 2.10.    Fees.
(a)    Facility Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a facility
fee in Dollars equal to the Applicable Rate (specified in the column titled
“Facility Fee” of such definition) times the actual daily amount of the
Aggregate Commitments (or, if the Aggregate Commitments have terminated, on the
Outstanding Amount of all Loans), regardless of usage. The facility fee shall
accrue at all times during the Availability Period (and thereafter so long as
any Loans remain outstanding), including at any time during which one or more of
the conditions in Article 4 is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly
in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December,
commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the
Maturity Date. The facility fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if
there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily
amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for
each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.
(a)    Other Fees.
(i)    The Company shall pay to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for
their own respective accounts, in Dollars, fees in the amounts and at the times
specified in the Fee Letter or any other letter between any Arranger and the
Company. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable
for any reason whatsoever.
(i)    The Company shall pay to the Lenders, in Dollars, such fees as shall have
been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so
specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable
for any reason whatsoever.

Section 2.11.    Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest
for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the
Eurocurrency Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as
the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and
interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed
(which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if
computed on the basis of a 365-day year), or, in the case of interest in respect
of Committed Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market
practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice.
Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and
shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the
Loan or such portion is paid; provided, that, any Loan that is repaid on the
same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.13(a), bear interest
for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate
or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.

Section 2.12.    Evidence of Debt.
(a)    The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or
more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative
Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by
the Administrative Agent and each Lender

37
 

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

shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions
made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any
failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or
otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount
owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the
accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of
the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of
the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon
the request of any Lender to a Borrower made through the Administrative Agent,
such Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans to such
Borrower in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach
schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount,
currency and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
(a)    In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a),
each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its
usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such
Lender of participations in Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict
between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the
accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and
records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest
error.

Section 2.13.    Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.
(a)    General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made free and
clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense,
recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except
with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative
Currency, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such
payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and
in Same-Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder
with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative
Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable
Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same-Day Funds
not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent on the
dates specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be
made in the United States. If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any
Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such
Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the
Alternative Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly
distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share
as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer
to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative
Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m., in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the
Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in
an Alternative Currency, shall in each case be deemed received on the next
succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to
accrue. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if any payment to be
made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment
shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time
shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

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

(a)    (i)    Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Committed Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans
(or, in the case of any Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 2:00
p.m. on the date of such Committed Borrowing) that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Committed
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of
a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share
available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may,
in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share
of the applicable Committed Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent,
then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to
the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in
Same-Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date
such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made
by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or
similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with
the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the
interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If such Borrower and such Lender
shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an
overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such
Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If
such Lender pays its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing to the
Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s
Committed Loan included in such Committed Borrowing. Any payment by such
Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim any Borrower may have against a
Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(i)    Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such
date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has
not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to
repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed
to such Lender, in Same-Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Borrower with respect
to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error.
(b)    Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to
the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to any
Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article 2, and such
funds are not made available to such Borrower by the Administrative Agent
because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article 4
are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the
Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from
such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

39
 

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

(c)    Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder
to make Committed Loans, to fund participations in Swing Line Loans and to make
payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of
any Lender to make any Committed Loan, to fund any such participation or to make
any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not
relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date,
and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so
make its Committed Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment
under Section 10.04(c).
(d)    Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to
obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute
a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for
any Loan in any particular place or manner.

Section 2.14.    Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by
exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in
respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Committed Loans made by
it, or the participations in Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such
Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such
Committed Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its
pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such
greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and
(b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Committed Loans and
subparticipations in Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other
adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments
shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount
of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Committed Loans and
other amounts owing them; provided, that:
(i)    if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or
any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations
or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the
extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii)    the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x)
any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express
terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the
existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Committed Loans or subparticipations in Swing Line Loans to any assignee or
participant, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which
the provisions of this Section shall apply).
Each 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 such
Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of
such participation.

Section 2.15.    Designated Borrowers.
(a)    The Company may at any time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice
from the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be
agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), designate any wholly
owned Subsidiary of the Company (an “Applicant Borrower”) as a Designated
Borrower to receive Committed Loans hereunder by delivering to the
Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each
Lender) a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of
Exhibit H (a “Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement”). The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that

40
 

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

prior to any Applicant Borrower becoming entitled to utilize the credit
facilities provided for herein, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall
have received (i) such supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions
of counsel (to the extent the Applicant Borrower may be a Foreign Subsidiary),
and other documents or information, in form, content and scope reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as may be required by the
Administrative Agent or any Lenders in their reasonable discretion (including
any information required pursuant to Section 10.18), (ii) Notes signed by such
new Borrower to the extent any Lenders so require, and (iii) an executed
counterpart of the Company Guaranty, properly executed by a Responsible Officer
of the Company. If the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders agree that an
Applicant Borrower shall be entitled to receive Committed Loans hereunder, then
promptly following receipt of the deliverables specified in clauses (i), (ii),
and (iii) above, the Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially
the form of Exhibit I (a “Designated Borrower Notice”) to the Company and the
Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the Applicant Borrower shall
constitute a Designated Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of the
Lenders agrees to permit such Designated Borrower to receive Committed Loans
hereunder, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties
hereto agrees that such Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for
all purposes of this Agreement; provided, that, no Committed Loan Notice may be
submitted by or on behalf of such Designated Borrower until the date five
Business Days after such effective date (or such shorter period of time as may
be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion).
(a)    The Obligations of the Company and each Designated Borrower that is a
Domestic Subsidiary shall be joint and several in nature. The Obligations of all
Designated Borrowers that are Foreign Subsidiaries shall be several in nature.
(b)    Each Subsidiary of the Company that becomes a Designated Borrower
pursuant to this Section 2.15 hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its
agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan
Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices, (ii) the execution
and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein
and all modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any
Committed Loans made by the Lenders to any such Designated Borrower hereunder.
Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which
might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers,
or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or
taken only by the Company, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein.
Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other
communication delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Designated Borrower.
(c)    The Company may from time to time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’
notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as
may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a
Designated Borrower’s status as such; provided, that, there are no outstanding
Loans payable by such Designated Borrower, or other amounts payable by such
Designated Borrower on account of any Loans made to it as of the effective date
of such termination. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders
of any such termination of a Designated Borrower’s status.

Section 2.16.    Extension of Maturity Date.
(a)    Requests for Extension. The Company may, by notice to the Administrative
Agent (any such notice, an “Extension Notice”) (who shall promptly notify the
Lenders), at any time prior

41
 

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

to any anniversary of the Closing Date (each such anniversary, as applicable,
the “Extension Date”), request that each Lender extend such Lender’s Maturity
Date for an additional one year from the Maturity Date then in effect hereunder
(the “Existing Maturity Date”).
(a)    Lender Elections to Extend. Each Lender, acting in its sole and
individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not
later than the date set forth in the applicable Extension Notice (which, in any
event, shall be a date at least 10 Business Days prior to the applicable
Extension Date for any such extension, such date for any such extension being
the “Notice Date”), advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender
agrees to such extension (each Lender that agrees to such extension, an
“Extending Lender”), and each Lender that determines not to so extend its
Maturity Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent
of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than
the Notice Date) and any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent
on or before the Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The
election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other
Lender to so agree.
(b)    Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the Company of each Lender’s determination under this Section.
(c)    Additional Commitment Lenders. The Company shall have the right on or
before the applicable Extension Date to replace each Non-Extending Lender with,
and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Eligible
Assignees (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) as provided in Section
10.13, each of which Additional Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an
Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lender
shall, effective as of the applicable Extension Date, undertake a Commitment
(and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its
Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment hereunder on such
date).
(d)    Minimum Extension Requirement. If (and only if) the total of the
Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed so to extend their Maturity Date and
the additional Commitments of the Additional Commitment Lenders shall be more
than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior
to the applicable Extension Date, then, effective as of the applicable Extension
Date, the Maturity Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional
Commitment Lender shall be extended to the date falling one year after the
Existing Maturity Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such
Maturity Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) and each
Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes
of this Agreement.
(e)    Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section shall not be
effective with respect to any Lender unless:
(i)    no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of
such extension and after giving effect thereto;
(ii)    the representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in Article
5 and in each other Loan Document or in any certificate furnished at any time
under or in connection herewith or therewith, (A) that are qualified by
materiality shall be true and correct on and as of the date of such extension
and after giving effect thereto, and (B) that are not qualified by materiality,
shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as

42
 

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

of the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto, except to the
extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier
date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (or
in all respects in the case of any representation and warranty that is qualified
by materiality) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this
Section 2.16(f)(ii), the representations and warranties contained in clauses (a)
and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements
furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01; and
(iii)    on the Maturity Date of each Non-Extending Lender (to the extent the
Commitment of any Non-Extending Lender is not replaced with a Commitment from an
Additional Commitment Lender on the applicable Extension Date as provided for in
Section 2.16(d)), the Borrowers shall prepay any Committed Loans outstanding on
such date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to
the extent necessary to keep outstanding Committed Loans ratable with any
revised Applicable Percentages of the respective Lenders effective as of such
date.
(f)    Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in
Section 2.14 or 10.01 to the contrary, and the Administrative Agent and the Loan
Parties shall be permitted to enter into such amendments to this Agreement as
are appropriate in the judgment of the Administrative Agent to implement the
provisions of this Section 2.16.

Section 2.17.    Increase In Commitments.
(a)    Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Event of Default, upon
notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders),
the Company may from time to time, request an increase in the Aggregate
Commitments by an amount (for all such requests together) not exceeding in the
aggregate $500,000,000; provided, that, any such request for an increase shall
be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000. At the time of sending such notice, the
Company (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time
period within which each Lender is requested to respond.
(a)    Lender Elections to Increase. 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.
(b)    Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and each Lender of the Lenders’
responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a
requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and
the Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), the
Company may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant
to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and its counsel.
(c)    Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Commitments are
increased in accordance with this Section, the Company 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.

43
 

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

(d)    Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. Any such increase pursuant to
this Section 2.17 shall become effective as of the Increase Effective Date for
such increase upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent: (i)
receipt by the Administrative Agent of (A) a certificate of each Loan Party
dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of such
Loan Party, certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party
approving or consenting to such increase, and (B) a certificate of the Company
dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of the
Company, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (1)
the representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in Article 5 and
in each other Loan Document or in any certificate furnished at any time under or
in connection herewith or therewith, (x) that are qualified by materiality shall
be true and correct on and as of the date of such increase, and (y) that are not
qualified by materiality, shall be true and correct in all material respects on
and as of the date of such increase, except to the extent that such
representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which
case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects
in the case of any representation and warranty that is qualified by materiality)
as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section
2.17(e)(i)(B)(1), the representations and warranties contained in clauses (a)
and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements
furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, and
(2) no Event of Default exists; and (ii) the Borrowers shall prepay any
Committed Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any
additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to
keep the outstanding Committed Loans ratable with any revised Applicable
Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this
Section.
(e)    Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in
Section 2.14 or 10.01 to the contrary, and the Administrative Agent, Loan
Parties and the Lenders providing such increase shall be permitted to enter into
such amendments to this Agreement as are appropriate in the judgment of the
Administrative Agent to implement the provisions of this Section 2.17.

Section 2.18.    Defaulting Lenders.    
(a)    Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as
that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law:
(i)    Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall
be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section
10.01.
(ii)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or
other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to
Article 8 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08 shall be applied at such time or
times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the
payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative
Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing
by such Defaulting Lender to the Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, as the
Company 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; fourth, if so determined by

44
 

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

the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit account and
released in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding
obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of
any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Swing Line Lender as a result of any
final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained
by any Lender or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a
result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this
Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the
payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of any final and
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the
Company against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s
breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to such Defaulting
Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided,
that, if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in
respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate
share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to
pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being
applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as
all Loans and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance
with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv). 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 shall be
deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender
irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)    Certain Fees.
(A)    Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees payable under
Section 2.10(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender
only to the extent allocable to the outstanding principal amount of the
Committed Loans funded by it.
(B)    With respect to any fee payable under Section 2.10(a) not required to be
paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) above, the Company shall
(x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise
payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s
participation in Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such
Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Swing Line
Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such
Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Swing Line Lender’s Fronting
Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining
amount of any such fee.
(iv)    Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All
or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swing Line Loans shall
be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their
respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting
Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not
cause the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans of any Non-Defaulting
Lender plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all
Swing Line Loans to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Subject to
Section 10.22, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of
any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that

45
 

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

Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a
Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased
exposure following such reallocation.
(v)    Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause
(a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall,
without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under
applicable Law, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line
Lenders’ Fronting Exposure.
(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Company, the Administrative Agent and the
Swing Line Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting
Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as
of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set
forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that
portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as
the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Committed
Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swing Line Loans to be held on a
pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages
(without giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease
to be a Defaulting Lender; provided, that, no adjustments will be made
retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of
the Company while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that,
except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no
change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or
release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having
been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE 3.    

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 3.01.    Taxes.
(a)    Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of
Taxes.
(i)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower
under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any
Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Laws (as
determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable Borrower or the
Administrative Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any
such payment by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, then such Borrower or
the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or
withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered
pursuant to subsection (e) below.
(ii)    If any Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required to
withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such Borrower or the
Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by
such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the
information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below,
(B) such Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount
withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made
on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Borrower
shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the
making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section

46
 

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

3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions
of subsection (a) above, each Borrower 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 the payment of, any Other
Taxes.
(c)    Indemnification by the Borrowers.
(i)    Each Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify each Recipient with
respect to such Borrower’s Obligations, and shall make payment in respect
thereof within 10 days after written 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 3.01) payable or paid by such
Recipient and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, that, the applicable
Borrower shall not be obligated to make payment to such Recipient pursuant to
this Section 3.01 in respect of penalties, interest and other liabilities
attributable to any Indemnified Taxes, if (x) such Recipient fails to notify
such Borrower of the imposition of such Indemnified Taxes within 30 days
following the receipt of actual written notice of the imposition of such
Indemnified Taxes, and such penalties, interest and other liabilities are
attributable to the period beginning after such 30th day and ending 10 days
after such Borrower receives notice from such Recipient; (y) such penalties,
interest and other liabilities are attributable to any period after any Borrower
has indemnified such Recipient for, or paid any additional amount with respect
to, such Indemnified Taxes pursuant to this Section 3.01; or (z) such penalties,
interest and other liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Recipient. A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability delivered to the applicable 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.
(ii)    Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make
payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, (x) the
Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender
(but only to the extent that any Borrower has not already indemnified the
Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and the
Borrowers, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s
failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(d) relating to the
maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and the
Borrowers, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such
Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or
any Borrower 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 this Agreement or any
other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under
this clause (ii).

47
 

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

(d)    Evidence of Payments. Upon request by any Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by such Borrower or by the
Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section
3.01, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the
Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Borrower, as the case may be, the
original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such
payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.
(e)    Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.
(i)    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 applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or
times reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such
properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by such
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 such Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable
such 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 3.01(e)(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.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the case of a
Borrower that is a U.S. Person,
(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such 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 such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed
originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S.
federal backup withholding;
(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to such 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 such 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

48
 

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

Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable)
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-E (or
W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S.
federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income”
article of such tax treaty;
(2)
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 J-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 such 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-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable); 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-E (or
W-8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the
form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-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 J-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 such 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 such 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 such Borrower or the Administrative Agent
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

49
 

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

(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 Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such
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 such Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such 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 the purposes of this clause (f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments
made to FATCA after the Closing Date.
(iii)    Without limiting the obligations of the Lenders set forth above
regarding delivery of certain forms and documents to establish each Lender’s
status for U.S. withholding tax purposes, each Lender agrees promptly to deliver
to the Administrative Agent or the Company, as the Administrative Agent or the
Company shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Closing Date, and in a
timely fashion thereafter, such other documents and forms required by any
relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any other jurisdiction, duly
executed and completed by such Lender, as are required under such Laws to
confirm such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction
of, applicable withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such
Lender outside of the U.S. by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or
otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in such
other jurisdiction. Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Administrative
Agent of any change in circumstance which would modify or render invalid any
such claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be
materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and
as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending
Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any such jurisdiction
that any Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts
payable to such Lender. Additionally, each of the Borrowers shall promptly
deliver to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the Administrative Agent
or such Lender shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Closing Date, and in
a timely fashion thereafter, such documents and forms required by any relevant
taxing authorities under the Laws of any jurisdiction, duly executed and
completed by such Borrower, as are required to be furnished by such Lender or
the Administrative Agent under such Laws in connection with any payment by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender of Taxes or Other Taxes, or otherwise in
connection with the Loan Documents, with respect to such jurisdiction.
(iv)    Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously
delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or
inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or
promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal
inability to do so.
(f)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no
time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise
pursue on behalf of a Lender,

50
 

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

or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or
deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If any Recipient
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 by any Borrower or with
respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 3.01, it shall promptly pay over the amount of such refund (including
any interest paid or credited by the relevant Governmental Authority with
respect to such refund) to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section
3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other
than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to
such refund); provided, that, such Borrower, upon the request of the Recipient,
agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties,
interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority in
connection therewith) to the Recipient in the event and to the extent that the
Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will
the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to any Borrower pursuant
to this subsection if such payment would place the Recipient in a less favorable
net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the
indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had
never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient
to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its
taxes that it deems confidential) to the applicable Borrower or any other
Person.
(g)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 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.

Section 3.02.    Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it
unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans
whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate (whether
denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency), or to determine or charge
interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority
has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or
sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the
applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the
Company through the Administrative Agent, (a) any obligation of such Lender to
make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies
or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans in Dollars, to convert Base
Rate Committed Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans, shall be suspended,
and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or
maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by
reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate
on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such
illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the
Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender
notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving
rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the
Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars,
convert all such Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans of such Lender to Base Rate
Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if
necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent
without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate), either
on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully
continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or immediately,
if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate
Loans and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining
or charging

51
 

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

interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, the Administrative Agent shall
during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such
Lender without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component thereof until the
Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer
illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the
Eurocurrency Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall
also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

Section 3.03.    Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine
that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan
or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) deposits (whether in Dollars
or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the applicable
offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and
Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested
Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan
(whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) or in connection
with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate for
any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate
Committed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders
of funding such Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan, the Administrative Agent will
promptly so notify the Company and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation
of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected
currency or currencies shall be suspended, (y) in the event of a determination
described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate
component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component
in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the
Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such
notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may revoke any pending request
for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed
Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, failing that, will be deemed to
have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base
Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

Section 3.04.    Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
(a)    If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by,
any Lender (except (A) any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e)
and (B) the requirements of the Bank of England and the Financial Services
Authority or the European Central Bank reflected in the Mandatory Cost, other
than as set forth below);
(i)    subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B)
the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Taxes) on its
loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or
its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
(ii)    result in the failure of the Mandatory Cost, as calculated hereunder, to
represent the cost to any Lender of complying with the requirements of the Bank
of England and/or the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank
in relation to its making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans; or
(iii)    impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Rate Loans
made by such Lender;

52
 

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

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by
reference to the Eurocurrency Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any
such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of
any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Company
will pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law
affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s
holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or
on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of
this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or
participations in Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender to a level below that
which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for
such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the
policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy),
then from time to time the Company will pay (or cause the applicable Designated
Borrower to pay) to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction
suffered.
(c)    Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth
the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding
company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this
Section and delivered to the Company shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
The Company shall pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) such
Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after
receipt thereof.
(d)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand
compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not
constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation;
provided, that, no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to
the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or
reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender
notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except
that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is
retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(e)    Additional Reserve Requirements. The Company shall pay (or cause the
applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to each Lender, (i) as long as such
Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or
assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently
known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid
principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of
such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such
Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), and (ii) as long
as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or
analogous requirement of any central banking or financial regulatory authority
imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per
annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places)
equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender
(as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be
conclusive), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which
interest is payable

53
 

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

on such Loan; provided, that, the Company shall have received at least 30 days’
prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional
interest or costs from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 30 days
prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or costs
shall be due and payable 30 days from receipt of such notice.
(f)    Requests for Compensation. Any request by a Lender for compensation
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall be made in
accordance with such Lender’s policies as applied generally to other similarly
situated borrowers of similar creditworthiness with respect to their similarly
affected commitments, loans and/or participations under agreements with such
borrowers having provisions similar to the provisions of this Section 3.04 (it
being acknowledged and agreed that nothing in this section shall require the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to disclose any information related to
similarly situated customers, comparable provisions of similar agreements or
otherwise that the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as applicable), in its
sole discretion, deems proprietary, privileged or confidential, and the
Administrative Agent’s or applicable Lender's failure to provide such
information shall not preclude it from asserting that such other customer is
similarly situated under a similar agreement to the applicable Borrower).

Section 3.05.    Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Company shall promptly
compensate (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to compensate) such
Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred
by it as a result of:
(a)    any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other
than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period
for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of
acceleration, or otherwise);
(a)    any failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such
Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other
than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Company or
the applicable Designated Borrower;
(b)    any failure by any Borrower to make payment of any Loan (or interest due
thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any
payment thereof in a different currency; or
(c)    any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last
day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Company
pursuant to Section 10.13;
excluding any loss of anticipated profits, but including any foreign exchange
losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of
funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable to terminate the
deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any
foreign exchange contract. The Company shall also pay (or cause the applicable
Designated Borrower to pay) any customary administrative fees charged by such
Lender in connection with the foregoing.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Company (or the applicable
Designated Borrower) to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall
be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan made by it at the
Eurocurrency Rate used in determining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a
matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for such
currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not
such Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan was in fact so funded.

54
 

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

Section 3.06.    LIBOR Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent
determines (which determination shall be made by notice to the Company), or the
Company or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case
of the Required Lenders, a copy to Company) that the Company or Required Lenders
(as applicable) have determined, that: (a) adequate and reasonable means do not
exist for ascertaining LIBOR for the applicable currency for any requested
Interest Period, including because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or
published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be
temporary; or (b) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental
Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public
statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate
shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of
loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or (c)
syndicated loans currently being executed in the U.S. market denominated in the
applicable currency being executed at the time, or that include language similar
to that contained in this Section, are being executed or amended (as applicable)
to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR; then,
reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or
receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the
Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement (any such
amendment, a “LIBOR Successor Amendment”) to replace LIBOR with respect to the
applicable currency with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical
or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due
consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar syndicated
credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a
“LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate
Conforming Changes and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on
the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such
proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Company unless, prior to such time,
Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative
Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.
If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under
clause (a) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as
applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and
each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain
Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected
Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) the Eurocurrency Rate
component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate. Upon receipt
of such notice, the Company may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (to the extent of the
affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be
deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing
of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified
therein. Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor
Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than
zero for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 3.07.    Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article
3 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent and the Facility
Termination Date.

ARTICLE 4.    

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CREDIT EXTENSIONS

Section 4.01.    Conditions of Initial Credit Extension. The obligation of each
Lender to make its initial Credit Extension hereunder is subject to satisfaction

connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Company
is a party;

if requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of which the Company has
been provided a reasonably detailed invoice, plus such additional amounts of
such fees, charges and disbursements as shall constitute its reasonable estimate
of such fees, charges and disbursements incurred or to be incurred by it through
the closing proceedings (provided, that, such estimate shall not thereafter
preclude a final settling of accounts between the Company and the Administrative
Agent).

56
 

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

(d)    The Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s receipt of (i) documentation
and information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests at least
five Business Days prior to the Closing Date in order to comply with its
obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering

requested by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and to the extent that any
Borrower qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership
Regulation, a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to any such

Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 9.04, for purposes
of determining compliance with the conditions specified in this Section 4.01,
each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to,
approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter
required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or
satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its
objection thereto.

Section 4.02.    Conditions to All Credit Extensions. The obligation of each
Lender to honor any Request for Credit Extension (other than a Committed Loan
Notice requesting only a conversion of Committed Loans to the other Type, or a
continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans) is subject to the following
conditions precedent:
(a)    The representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in Article
5 (except for the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.05(c)
and 5.06 in the case of any Credit Extension after the Closing Date) and in each
other Loan Document or in any certificate furnished at any time under or in
connection herewith or therewith, (i) that are qualified by materiality shall be
true and correct on and as of the date of such Credit Extension, and (ii) that
are not qualified by materiality, shall be true and correct in all material
respects on and as of the date of such Credit Extension, except to the extent
that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date,
in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all
respects in the case of any representation and warranty that is qualified by
materiality) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this
Section 4.02(a), the representations and warranties contained in clauses (a) and
(b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements
furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01.
(a)    No Default shall exist, or would result from such proposed Credit
Extension or the application of the proceeds thereof.
(b)    The Administrative Agent and, if applicable, the Swing Line Lender shall
have received a Request for Credit Extension in accordance with the requirements
hereof.
(c)    If the applicable Borrower is a Designated Borrower, then the conditions

financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or

Alternative Currency) would make it impracticable for such Credit Extension to
be denominated in the relevant Alternative Currency.

Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability to the PBGC other
than for the payment of premiums, and there are no premium payments which have

negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan
Document, when taken as a whole, contains any material misstatement of fact or

priority or admissibility in evidence of the Applicable Foreign Obligor
Documents that the Applicable Foreign Obligor Documents be filed, registered or
recorded with, or executed or notarized before, any court or other authority in
the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Obligor is organized and existing or that

proceedings diligently conducted and adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP
are being maintained by the Company or such Subsidiary (unless and until any

beneficiaries of such Guarantee (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder
or holders or beneficiary or beneficiaries) to cause, upon the giving of notice
if required, such Indebtedness to be demanded or to become due or to be
repurchased, prepaid, defeased or redeemed (automatically or otherwise), or an
offer to repurchase, prepay, defease or redeem such Indebtedness to be made,

ARTICLE 9.    

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 9.01.    Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby
irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative
Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents 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 or
thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. Except for rights of the Company under Section 9.06, the provisions of
this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and the
Lenders, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any
of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent”
herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference
to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other
implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable
Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to
create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting
parties.

Section 9.02.    Rights as a Lender. The Person 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 the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person
serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such
Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own
securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity
for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the
Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the
Lenders.

Section 9.03.    Exculpatory Provisions.
(a)    The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except
those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and its duties
hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(i)    shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless
of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii)    shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent
is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for
herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided, that, the Administrative Agent
shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of
its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is
contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and including for the avoidance
of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any
Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination
of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

73
 

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

(iii)    shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to
disclose, any information relating to any of the Borrowers or any of their
respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving
as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or
such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the
Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative
Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until
notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing
by the Company or a Lender.
(c)    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
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set
forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction
of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent.

Section 9.04.    Reliance by 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 (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website
posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative
Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and
believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition
hereunder to the making of a Loan, the Administrative Agent may presume that
such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent
shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making
of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may
be counsel for the Company), 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.

Section 9.05.    Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any
and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any
other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may
perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this
Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of 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. The Administrative
Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any
sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction
determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent
acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such
sub-agents.

74
 

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

Section 9.06.    Resignation of Administrative Agent.
(a)    The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation
to the Lenders and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation,
the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Company
(provided, that, (i) such consent of the Company shall not be unreasonably
withheld, and (ii) no consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of
Default pursuant to Section 8.01(a), Section 8.01(f) or Section 8.01(g) has
occurred and is continuing at the time of such appointment), to appoint a
successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an
Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such
successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent
gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the
Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the
Lenders, appoint, with the consent of the Company (provided, that, (i) such
consent of the Company shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) no consent
of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default pursuant to Section
8.01(a), Section 8.01(f) or Section 8.01(g) has occurred and is continuing at
the time of such appointment), a successor Administrative Agent meeting the
qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed,
such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the
Resignation Effective Date. In no event shall any successor Administrative Agent
be a Defaulting Lender.
(b)    If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender
pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Company and
such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the consent of
the Company (provided, that, (i) such consent of the Company shall not be
unreasonably withheld, and (ii) no consent of the Company shall be required if
an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(a), Section 8.01(f) or Section
8.01(g) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such appointment), appoint
a successor meeting the qualifications set forth in clause (a) above. If no such
successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed
by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall
nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal
Effective Date.
(c)    With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective
Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents and (ii) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed
to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications
and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative
Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if
any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as
provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or
removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 3.01(g) and
other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the
retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or
the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom
as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Company to a
successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor.
After

the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section
10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed
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 the
retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
(d)    Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to
this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Swing Line Lender. If Bank
of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the
Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made
by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including
the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk
participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(c). Upon
the appointment by the Company of a successor or Swing Line Lender hereunder
(which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender),
(i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swing Line Lender and (ii) the
retiring Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective

contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.
(b)    Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for
purposes of this subsection (b), participations in Swing Line Loans) at the time
owing to it); provided, that, any such assignment shall be subject to the
following conditions:
(i)    Minimum Amounts.

aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the
principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to
each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if
“Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade
Date, shall not be less than $15,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent
and, so long as no Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(a), Section 8.01(f)
or Section 8.01(g) has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise
consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
provided, that, concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and
concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single assignee
(or to an assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a
single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has
been met.
(ii)    Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment
assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the Swing Line
Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Bid Loans or Swing Line Loans;

(iii)    Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment
except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in
addition:
(A)    the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default pursuant to Section
8.01(a), Section 8.01(f) or Section 8.01(g) has occurred and is continuing at
the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate
of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided, that, the Company shall be deemed to
have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written
notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having
received notice thereof;
(B)    the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a
Person that is not a Lender, and Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund
with respect to such Lender; and
(C)    the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment.
(iv)    Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together
with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, that,
the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such
processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if
it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire.
(v)    No Assignment to Company. No such assignment shall be made to the Company
or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.
(vi)    No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a
natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned
and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person).
(vii)    No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to
any Person that, through its Lending Offices, is not capable of lending the
applicable Alternative Currencies to the relevant Borrowers (A) without the
imposition of any additional Indemnified Taxes or (B) without violating
applicable Laws.
(viii)    No Assignment to Defaulting Lenders. No such assignment shall be made
to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries or any Person who, upon
becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons
described in this clause (viii).
(ix)    Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights
and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be
effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set
forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments
to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution
thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee
of participations or subparticipations, or other

86
 

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

compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the
Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously
requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the
applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and
satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon)
and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans
and participations in Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable
Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of
rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective
under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph,
then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for
all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to
this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with
respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such
assignment; provided, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by
the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a
waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s
having been a Defaulting Lender.
Upon request, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to
the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall
be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d)
of this Section.
(c)    Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers shall maintain at the Administrative
Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and
any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.
(d)    Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any
Person (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or
trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person),
a Defaulting Lender or the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or
Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s
rights and/or obligations

87
 

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

under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the
Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Swing Line Loans) owing to it);
provided, that, (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly
with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement; provided, that, such agreement or instrument
may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant,
agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first
proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection
(e) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the
requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section
3.01(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Sections
3.01(e) and 3.01(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided, that, such Participant
agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 10.13 as if it were an
assignee under subsection (b) of this Section. Each Lender that sells a
participation agrees, at the applicable Borrower’s request and expense, to use
reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the provisions of
Section 10.13 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law,
each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as
though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation
shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers,
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.
(e)    Limitation upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled
to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation
sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such
Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent. A Participant that
would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the
benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Company is notified of the participation
sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the
Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.01 as though it were a Lender.
(f)    Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including
under its Note(s), if any) to secure

88
 

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

obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that, no such pledge or
assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(g)    Electronic Execution. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and
words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include
electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of
which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a
manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as
the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law,
including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act,
the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar
state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
(h)    Resignation as Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America
assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank
of America may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Company, resign as Swing Line
Lender. In the event of any such resignation as Swing Line Lender, the Company
shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Swing Line
Lender hereunder; provided, that, no failure by the Company to appoint any such
successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as Swing Line Lender.
If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights
of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans
made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation,
including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or
fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section
2.05(c). Upon the appointment of a successor Swing Line Lender, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring Swing Line Lender.

Section 10.07.    Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of,
and shall not disclose to any Person, the Information (as defined below), except
that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its
Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents,
advisors, auditors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to
whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and shall either (i) be bound pursuant to written agreement, policy,
procedure, or other ethical, fiduciary or other responsibility to keep such
Information confidential, or (ii) agree to treat the Information as
confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority
purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory
authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), in
which case such Person agrees, except with respect to any audit or examination
conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority
exercising examination or regulatory authority, to the extent reasonably
practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, rule, regulation or order, to
inform the Company promptly of the disclosure thereof, (c) to the extent
required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal
process, in which case such Person agrees to the extent not prohibited by
applicable law, rule, regulation or order, to inform the Company promptly of the
disclosure thereof, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the
exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i)
any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant
in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible
Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 or (ii) any actual or
prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction
relating to a Borrower and its obligations, (g) on a confidential basis

89
 

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

to (i) with the consent of the Company, any rating agency in connection with
rating the Company or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided
hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection
with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers
with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the consent
of the Company or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective
Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company (or
the Company’s representatives) that is not, to such Person’s knowledge, subject
to confidentiality or fiduciary obligations owing to the Company or any of the
Company’s Subsidiaries.
For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from
the Company or any Subsidiary relating to the Company or any Subsidiary or any
of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is
available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis
prior to disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary. 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.
In addition, on a confidential basis, the Administrative Agent and each Lender
may disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement (including the nature of
the facility as a revolving credit facility, the use of proceeds provisions
herein and the principal amount outstanding at a given time), and the identity
of the parties hereto (including titles and participants) to market data
collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service
providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the
administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (A) the
Information may include material non-public information concerning the Company
or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (B) it has developed compliance procedures
regarding the use of material non-public information and (C) it will handle such
material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including
Federal and state securities Laws.

Section 10.08.    Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and
other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any
such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other
Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower or such Loan
Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any
demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such
obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured
or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the
branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such
indebtedness; provided, that, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall
exercise any such right of setoff hereunder, (x) all amounts so set off shall be
paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18 and, pending such payment, shall
be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in
trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the
Defaulting Lender shall provide

90
 

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

promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail
the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such
right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and its respective Affiliates under
this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other
rights of setoff) that such Lender or its respective Affiliates may have. Each
Lender agrees to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent promptly after
any such setoff and application; provided, that, the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 10.09.    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid
under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious
interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative
Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum
Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if
it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Company. In determining
whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative
Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent
permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal
as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary
prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and
spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the
contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

Section 10.10.    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may
be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other
Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except
as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent
shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other
electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of
a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 10.11.    Survival of Representations and Warranties. All
representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or
other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or
therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such
representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of
any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full
force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall
remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

Section 10.12.    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the
legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby
and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic
effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section
10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this
Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws,
as determined in good faith by the

91
 

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

Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such
provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Section 10.13.    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a)    Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 3.04, or if any Borrower is required to pay any
Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any
Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then the relevant Lender shall
(at the request of the Company) use reasonable efforts to designate a different
lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its
rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment
(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or
Section 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for
notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) would not subject such
Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise be materially
disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable
and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in
connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)    Replacement of Lenders. If (x) any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, or any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or
additional amounts pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such Lender has
declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with
subsection (a) of this Section, (y) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or (z)
any Lender shall refuse to consent to a waiver or amendment to, or a departure
from the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which requires
the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders directly affected thereby and that has
been consented to by the Required Lenders, then the Company may, at its sole
expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent,
require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with
and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section
10.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments
pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the
related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which
assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided,
that:
(i)    the Company shall have paid (or caused a Designated Borrower to pay) to
the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);
(ii)    such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and
all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of
such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company or
applicable Designated Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(iii)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments thereafter; and
(iv)    such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

92
 

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

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if,
prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation
cease to apply.

BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY
JURISDICTION.
(c)    WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR
HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF

FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE
BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 10.16.    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 court shall, and is hereby directed to, make a

all of the issues in such action or proceeding (whether of fact or of law) and

and agree that (except, with respect to clauses (b) and (c) below, as expressly
set forth in any other engagement agreement between the Borrowers and/or any of

any Lender, on the other hand): (a) the credit facility provided for hereunder
and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including
in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any
other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the
Borrowers and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the
Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, and the Borrowers are capable of
evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and
conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan
Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or
thereof); (b) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, the
Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders each are and have been
acting solely as principals and are not the financial advisor, agent or
fiduciary, for the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates, stockholders, creditors
or employees or any other Person; (c) none of the Administrative Agent, any
Arranger or any Lender assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary
responsibility in favor of the Borrowers with respect to any of the transactions
contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to
any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document
(irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the Lenders
have advised or are currently advising the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates
on other matters) and none of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any
Lender has any obligation to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations
expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (d) the
Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective
Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve
interests that differ from those of the Borrowers and their Affiliates, and none
of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender has any obligation to
disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary
relationship; and (e) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders

advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including
any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan

and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate.

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

The Borrowers hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
any claims that they may have against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers
and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or
fiduciary duty.

Section 10.18.    USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the
PATRIOT Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself
and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to
the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed
into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”), it is required to obtain,
verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information
includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will
allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such
Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. Each Borrower shall, promptly
following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all
documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender
requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know
your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the
PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

Section 10.19.    [Reserved].

Section 10.20.    Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment
in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan
Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall
be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative
Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business
Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each
Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or
the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding
any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which
such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this
Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on
the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or the Lender, as
the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the
Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase
the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the
Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the
Administrative Agent from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower
agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to
indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was
owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is
greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such
currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to
such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under
applicable law).

Section 10.21.    Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other
Documents. The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of
like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation
Assignment and Assumptions, amendments or other modifications, Committed Loan
Notices, Swing Line Loan Notices, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to
include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and
contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative
Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of
the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed
signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be,
to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal
Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State
Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on
the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided, that, notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary the Administrative Agent is under no

95
 

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

obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format
unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures
approved by it.

Section 10.22.    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial
Institutions. Solely to the extent any Lender that is an EEA Financial
Institution is a party to this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or
understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any
liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any
Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the
Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and
consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: (a) the application of
any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such
liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is
an EEA Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any
such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or
cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of,
such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA
Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may
be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other
instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with
respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the
exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution
Authority.

Agent and Swing Line Lender, the Lenders have extended Commitments to make Loans
to the Borrowers;
WHEREAS, as a condition precedent to the making of any Loans to a Designated
Borrower under the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to execute and
deliver this Guaranty.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce the Lenders to make
Loans to the Borrowers, the Company agrees, for the benefit of each Lender, as

ARTICLE II    
GUARANTY PROVISIONS
SECTION 2.1.     Guaranty. The Company hereby absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably
(a)    guarantees the full and punctual payment when due, whether at stated
maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or
otherwise, of all Obligations of each Designated Borrower now or hereafter
existing, whether for principal, interest (including interest accruing at the
then applicable rate provided in the Credit Agreement after the occurrence of
any Event of Default set forth in Section 8.01(f) or (g) of the Credit
Agreement, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is
allowed under applicable Law following the institution of a proceeding under any
Debtor Relief Laws), fees, reimbursement obligations, expenses or otherwise
(including all such amounts which would become due but for the operation of the
automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11
U.S.C. §362(a), and the operation of Sections 502(b) and 506(b) of the United
States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §502(b) and §506(b)); and
(b)    subject to and in accordance with Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement,
indemnifies and holds harmless each Lender for any and all costs and expenses
(including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and reasonable and
documented attorneys’ out-of-pocket charges and disbursements) incurred by such
Lender (or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders) in enforcing any
rights under this Guaranty;
provided that the Company shall only be liable under this Guaranty for the
maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering
this Guaranty, as it relates to the Company, voidable under applicable Law
relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any
greater amount. This Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not
of collection, and the Company specifically agrees that it shall not be
necessary or required that any Lender (or the Administrative Agent on behalf of
the Lenders) exercise any right, assert any claim or demand or enforce any
remedy whatsoever against any other Loan Party or any other Person before or as
a condition to the obligations of the Company hereunder.
SECTION 2.2.     Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on
behalf of any Loan Party is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or
the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such
payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent
or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any
other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or
otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force
and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.
SECTION 2.3.     Guaranty Absolute, etc. This Guaranty shall in all respects be
a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guaranty of payment, and
shall remain in full force and effect until the Facility Termination Date has
occurred. The Company guarantees that the Obligations of each Designated
Borrower will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of each Loan
Document under which they arise, regardless of any law, regulation or order now
or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or

2
 

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

the rights of any Lender with respect thereto. The liability of the Company
under this Guaranty shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable
irrespective of:
(a)    any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of any Loan Document;
(b)    the failure of any Lender (or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Lenders) (i) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy
against any Loan Party or any other Person (including any other guarantor) under
the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise, or (ii) to exercise any right
or remedy against any other guarantor of any Obligations;
(c)    any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other
term of, all or any part of the Obligations, or any other extension, compromise
or renewal of any Obligation;
(d)    any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Obligations
for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or
compromise, and shall not be subject to (and the Company hereby waives any right
to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination
whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness,
irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence
affecting, any Obligations or otherwise;
(e)    any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any
consent to or departure from, any of the terms of any Loan Document;
(f)    any addition, exchange or release of any Person that is (or will become)
a guarantor of the Obligations, or any amendment to or waiver or release of or
addition to, or consent to or departure from, any other guaranty held by any
Lender (or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders) in respect of any
of the Obligations; or
(g)    any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any other Loan Party, any
surety or the Company.
SECTION 2.4.     Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and
other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any
such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Company against any
and all of the obligations of the Company now or hereafter existing under this
Guaranty or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or
not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Guaranty or any other Loan
Document and although such obligations of the Company may be contingent or
unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different
from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such
indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall
exercise any such right of setoff hereunder, (x) all amounts so set off shall be
paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement and,
pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its
other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the
Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations
owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.
The rights of each Lender and its respective Affiliates under this Section 2.4
are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff)
that such Lender or its respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to
notify the Company and the Administrative Agent promptly

3
 

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

after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
SECTION 2.5.     Waiver, etc. The Company hereby waives promptness, diligence,
notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations
and this Guaranty and any requirement that any Lender (or the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Lenders) exhaust any right or take any action against any
Loan Party or any other Person (including any other guarantor) or entity, as the
case may be. The Company waives any rights and defenses that are or may become
available to it by reason of §§ 2787 to 2855, inclusive, and §§ 2899 and 3433 of
the California Civil Code. As provided below, this Guaranty shall be governed
by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York. The
foregoing waivers and the provisions hereinafter set forth in this Guaranty
which pertain to California Law are included solely out of an abundance of
caution, and shall not be construed to mean that any of the above-referenced
provisions of California Law are in any way applicable to this Guaranty or the
Obligations.
SECTION 2.6.     Postponement of Subrogation, etc. The Company agrees that it
will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of rights of
subrogation under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to which it is a
party, nor shall the Company seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or
reimbursement from any other Loan Party, in respect of any payment made, under
any Loan Document or otherwise, until following the Facility Termination Date.
Any amount paid to the Company on account of any such subrogation rights prior
to the Facility Termination Date shall be held in trust for the benefit of the
Lenders and shall immediately be paid and turned over to the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in the exact form received by the Company
(duly endorsed in favor of the Administrative Agent, if required), to be
credited and applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in
accordance with Section 2.7; provided that if the Company has made payment to
the Lenders (or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders) of all or any
part of the Obligations and the Facility Termination Date has occurred, then at
the Company’s request, the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) will,
at the expense of the Company, execute and deliver to the Company appropriate
documents (without recourse and without representation or warranty) necessary to
evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Company of an interest in the
Obligations resulting from such payment. In furtherance of the foregoing, at all
times prior to the Facility Termination Date, the Company shall refrain from
taking any action or commencing any proceeding against any other Loan Party (or
its successors or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or
otherwise) to recover any amounts in respect of payments made under this
Guaranty to any Lender (or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders).
SECTION 2.7.     Payments; Application. The Company hereby agrees with each
Lender as follows:
(a)    The Company agrees that all payments made by the Company hereunder will
be made in the currency of the applicable Obligation to the Administrative
Agent, without setoff, counterclaim or other defense and in accordance with
Sections 3.01 and 8.03 of the Credit Agreement, free and clear of and without
deduction for any Taxes, the Company hereby agreeing to comply with and be bound
by the provisions of Sections 3.01 and 8.03 of the Credit Agreement in respect
of all payments made by it hereunder and the provisions of which Sections are
hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Guaranty by this reference as
if set forth herein; provided that references to the “Borrower” or “Company” in
such Sections shall be deemed to be references to the Company, and references to
“this Agreement” in such Sections shall be deemed to be references to this
Guaranty.
(b)    All payments made hereunder shall be applied upon receipt as set forth in
Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement.

the Credit Agreement and make Loans thereunder, the Company represents and
warrants to each Lender as set forth below.

materiality, are true and correct on and as of the date hereof, and (ii) that
are not qualified by materiality, are true and correct in all material respects
on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such representations and
warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they were true

the responsibility for keeping, and to keep, so informed for so long as this
Guaranty is in effect. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Lenders (or
the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders) shall have no obligation to
investigate the financial condition or affairs of any Loan Party for the benefit
of the Company nor to advise the Company of any fact respecting, or any change
in, the financial condition or affairs of any Loan Party that might become known
to any Lender (or the Administrative Agent) at any time, whether or not such
Lender (or the Administrative Agent) knows or believes or has reason to know or
believe that any such fact or change is unknown to the Company, or might (or
does) materially increase the risk of the Company as guarantor, or might (or
would) affect the willingness of the Company to continue as a guarantor of the
Obligations.

thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

SECTION 4.13.     Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment
in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under any other

Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency
on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The
obligation of the Company in respect of any such sum due from it to the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents
shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”)
other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the
applicable provisions of this Guaranty (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged
only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the
Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency,
the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures
purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the
Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the
Administrative Agent from the Company in the Agreement Currency, the Company
agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to
indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was
owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is
greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such
currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to
the Company (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable
law).
ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL
AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,
CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO
UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.
