procedures as may be agreed to between the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower:

 

(A)                               Notice Procedures.  In connection with an
Auction, the Borrower will provide notification to the Administrative Agent (for
distribution to the applicable Lenders) of the Term Loans, New Term Loans or
Specified Refinancing Term Loans that will be the subject of the Auction (an
“Auction Notice”).  Each Auction Notice shall be in a form reasonably acceptable
to the Administrative Agent and shall contain (i) the total cash value of the
bid, in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 with minimum increments of $1,000,000
(the “Auction Amount”), (ii) the discount to par, which shall be a range (the
“Discount Range”) of percentages of the par principal amount of the Term Loans,
New Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Term Loans at issue that represents the

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

 

range of purchase prices that could be paid in the Auction and (iii) the date by
which Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such
proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment.

 

(B)                               Reply Procedures.  In connection with any
Auction, each applicable Lender may, in its sole discretion, participate in such
Auction and may provide the Administrative Agent with a notice of participation
(the “Return Bid”) which shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent and shall specify (i) a discount to par that must be
expressed as a price (the “Reply Discount”), which must be within the Discount
Range, and (ii) a principal amount of the applicable Loans which must be in
increments of $1,000,000 (the “Reply Amount”).  A Lender may avoid the minimum
increment amount condition solely when submitting a Reply Amount equal to the
Lender’s entire remaining amount of the applicable Loans.  Lenders may only
submit one Return Bid per Auction.  In addition to the Return Bid, the
participating Lender must execute and deliver, to be held in escrow by the
Administrative Agent, assignment and assumption in a form reasonably acceptable
to the Administrative Agent.

 

(C)                               Acceptance Procedures.  Based on the Reply
Discounts and Reply Amounts received by the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, will determine the
applicable discount (the “Applicable Discount”) for the Auction, which will be
the lowest Reply Discount for which Parent or its Subsidiary, as applicable, can
complete the Auction at the Auction Amount; provided that, in the event that the
Reply Amounts are insufficient to allow Parent or its Subsidiary, as applicable,
to complete a purchase of the entire Auction Amount (any such Auction, a “Failed
Auction”), Parent or its Subsidiary shall either, at its election, (i) withdraw
the Auction or (ii) complete the Auction at an Applicable Discount equal to the
highest Reply Discount.  Parent or its Subsidiary, as applicable, shall purchase
the applicable Loans (or the respective portions thereof) from each applicable
Lender with a Reply Discount that is equal to or greater than the Applicable
Discount (“Qualifying Bids”) at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the
aggregate proceeds required to purchase all applicable Loans subject to
Qualifying Bids would exceed the Auction Amount for such Auction, Parent or its
Subsidiary, as applicable, shall purchase such Loans at the Applicable Discount
ratably based on the principal amounts of such Qualifying Bids (subject to
rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent).  Each
participating Lender will receive notice of a Qualifying Bid as soon as
reasonably practicable but in no case later than five (5) Business Days from the
date the Return Bid was due.

 

(D)                               Payment Procedures.  Subject to clause
(C) above (including the right of the Borrower to withdraw any Auction), each
Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be made without premium or penalty (but
subject to Section 3.05), upon irrevocable notice as described above.  Upon
receipt of any Auction Notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each relevant Lender thereof.  If any Auction Notice is given, the amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable to the applicable Lenders,
subject to the Applicable Discount on the applicable Loans, on the date
specified therein together with accrued interest (on the par principal amount)
to but not including such date on the amount prepaid.

 

(E)                                Additional Procedures.  Once initiated by an
Auction Notice, Parent or its Subsidiary, as applicable, may not withdraw an
Auction other than a Failed Auction.  Furthermore, in connection with any
Auction, upon submission by a Lender of a Qualifying Bid, such Lender will be
obligated to sell the entirety or its allocable portion of the Reply Amount, as
the case may be, at the Applicable Discount.

improvements or synergies or expense reductions resulting from any Asset Sale or
other disposition or such Investment, acquisition, merger, amalgamation or
consolidation or discontinued operation which is being given pro forma effect
that have been or are expected to be realized).  In addition to such adjustments
pro forma calculations may also include Pro Forma Cost Savings. If any
Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma
effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in
effect on the Applicable Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the
entire period (taking into account for such entire period, any Hedging
Obligation applicable to such Indebtedness with a remaining term of 12 months or
longer, and in the case of any Hedging Obligation applicable to such
Indebtedness with a remaining term of less than 12 months, taking into account
such Hedging Obligation to the extent of its remaining term). Interest on a
Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate
reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the
Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease
Obligation in accordance with GAAP.  For purposes of making the computation
referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under revolving credit
facilities computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the
average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. 
Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate
based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered
rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually
chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower
may designate.  Any such pro forma calculation may include, without limitation,
(1) adjustments permitted by and calculated consistent with the requirements of
Article 11 of Regulation S-X (regardless of whether pro forma financial
information would be required to be presented thereunder) and (2) adjustments
calculated to give effect to any Pro Forma Cost Savings.

conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans
as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in
effect.

to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of
its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such
Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any
Borrowing.

facilities pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied ratably to each of
thesuch Loans and to the principal repayment installments thereof, first, in
direct order of maturity, to the next succeeding four (4) quarterly principal
repayment installments of thesuch Loans that are due pursuant to Section 2.07
(excluding the installment due on the applicable Maturity Date) and, second, to
the remaining principal repayment installments of thesuch Loans; and, with
respect to each such Facility, each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders
on a pro rata basis.

 

(v)                               Funding Losses, Etc.  All prepayments under
this Section 2.05 shall be made together with, in the case of any such
prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an
Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurodollar Rate
Loan pursuant to Section 3.05 and, to the extent applicable, any additional
amounts required pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(iv).  Notwithstanding any of the
other provisions of this Section 2.05(b), so long as no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans is
required to be made under this Section 2.05(b), other than on the last day of
the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit
the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder into
a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which
time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by
or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount
to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05(b).  Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or
notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to
the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05(b).

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, any Purchasing Borrower Party shall have the right at any time
and from time to time to prepay Loans of one or more classes constituting term
loan facilities to the applicable Lenders at a discount to the par value of such
Loans and on a non pro rata basis (each, a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment”)
pursuant to a Dutch Auction and the procedures described in the definition
thereof; provided that (A) any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be offered
to all Lenders of the applicable class(es) on a pro rata basis and (B) such
Purchasing Borrower Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a
certificate stating that (1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or would result from the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment (after
giving effect to any related waivers or amendments obtained in connection with
such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment) and (2) each of the conditions to such
Discounted Voluntary Prepayment contained in this Section 2.05(c) has been
satisfied.

 

(d)                                 Lender Opt-out.  With respect to any
prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(b), any Lender, at its option,
may elect not to accept such prepayment.  The Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of any event giving rise to such prepayment of the Loans
and the amount of the prepayment that is available to prepay the Loans (the
“Prepayment Amount”).  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of the
amount available to prepay the Loans of each class and the date on which such
prepayment shall be made (the “Prepayment Date”), which date shall be ten
(10) Business Days after the date of such receipt.  Any Lender declining such
prepayment (a “Declining Lender”) shall give written notice to the
Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. date that is three (3) Business Days prior to
the Prepayment Date.  If any Lender does not give a notice by such date that it
is a Declining Lender, then it will be deemed to be an Accepting Lender.  On the
Prepayment Date, an amount equal to that portion of the

 

61

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

 

Prepayment Amount accepted by the Lenders other than the Declining Lenders (such
Lenders being the “Accepting Lenders”) to prepay Loans owing to such Accepting
Lenders shall be paid to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower and applied by
the Administrative Agent ratably to prepay Loans owing to such Accepting Lenders
in the manner described in Section 2.05(b) for such prepayment.  Any amounts
that would otherwise have been applied to prepay Loans owing to Declining
Lenders shall instead be retained by the Borrower (such amounts, “Declined
Amounts”).

 

(e)                                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 2.05, for any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a
Foreign Subsidiary or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries for
which the Borrower determines in good faith that the repatriation of such Net
Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow (i) is prohibited or subject to limitations
under applicable law, orders, decrees or determinations of any arbitrator, court
or governmental authority or (ii) would have an adverse tax consequence (taking
into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection
with such repatriation), the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash
Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times
provided in this Section 2.05; provided that when the Borrower determines in
good faith that repatriation of any of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash
Flow (i) is no longer prohibited or subject to limitations under such applicable
law, orders, decrees or determinations of any arbitrator, court or governmental
authority or (ii) would no longer have an adverse tax consequence (taking into
account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with
such repatriation), the repatriation of such amount that would otherwise be
required to be used to make an offer of prepayment pursuant to
Section 2.05(b)(i) or (b)(ii), will be immediately effected and such repatriated
Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (an in any event not
later than five (5) Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of
additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the
repayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05.

 

2.06                        Termination of Commitments.  The aggregate
Additional Term LoanB-1 Commitments shall be automatically and permanently
reduced to zero on the date of, and after giving effect to, the initial
Borrowing on the ClosingAmendment No. 1 Effective Date.

 

2.07                        Repayment of Term Loans.  The Borrower shall, on the
last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with
the last Business Day of September 2014March 2017 and ending with the last
Business Day of the fiscal quarter preceding the Maturity Date for the Term Loan
Facility, repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Term
Lenders under the Term Loan Facility, 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of
all Term Loans outstanding on the Closing DateAmendment No. 1 Effective Date
after giving effect to Amendment No. 1 (which installments above shall be
reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the
order of priority set forth in Section 2.05); provided, however, that the final
principal repayment installment of the Term Loans shall be repaid on the
Maturity Date and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding on such date.

 

2.08                        Interest.

 

(a)                                 Subject to the provisions of Section 1.10
(with respect to accrued interest and unpaid interest on Original Loans prior to
the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date) and Section 2.08(b), (i) each Eurodollar
Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for
each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the greater of
(x) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period and (y) 1.000.75%, plus (B) the
Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall
bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable
borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the greater of
(x) the percentage for clause (A) above and (y) the Base Rate, plus (B) the
Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans.

 

62

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

 

(b)                                 Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of any Default under Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g), the Borrower
shall pay interest on the principal amount of all overdue Obligations hereunder
at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.  Accrued and unpaid interest
on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and
payable upon demand.

 

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

 

2.09                        [Reserved].

 

2.10                        Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive
Adjustments of Applicable Rate.  All computations of interest for Base Rate
Loans (except for Base Rate computations in respect of clauses (a) and (c) of
the definition thereof) shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred
and sixty-five (365) or three hundred and sixty six (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 three hundred and sixty (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 three hundred and sixty-five (365) day year). 
Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and
shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the
Loan or such portion is paid.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of
an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error.

 

2.11                        Evidence of Indebtedness.

 

(a)                                 The Credit Extensions made by each Lender
shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender
and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the
Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation
Section 5f.103 -1(c), as a non-fiduciary agent for the Borrower, in each case in
the ordinary course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by the
Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent
manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the
Borrower and the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure to so record or any
error in doing so shall not, however, limit the obligation of the Borrower
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 made through the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender
(through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to the order of such Lender,
which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or
records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the
date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with
respect thereto.

 

(b)                                 [Reserved].

 

(c)                                  Entries made in good faith by the
Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.11(a), and by each
Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.11(a), shall be prima
facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to
become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each
Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided, that
the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any
finding that an entry is

 

63

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

 

incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit the
obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

2.12                        Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

 

(a)                                 General.  All payments to be made by the
Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim,
defense, recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed,
at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available
funds not later than 12:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.  The
Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share
in respect of the relevant Facility (or other applicable share as provided
herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such
Lender’s Lending Office.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent
after 12:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day
and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  If any payment to
be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day,
payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of
time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be;
provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or
principal of Eurodollar Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar
month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

 

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

 

A notice of the Administrative Agent to the Borrower with respect to any amount
owing under this Section 2.12(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

(c)                                  Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. 
If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to
be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this
Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the
Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension
set forth in Article IV or Amendment No.1, as applicable, 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 on
demand, without interest.

 

(d)                                 Obligations of the Lenders Several.  The
obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant
to Section 9.07 are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make
any Loan or to fund any such participation or to make any payment under
Section 9.07 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender
of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or, to
purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 9.07.

 

64

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

 

(e)                                  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.

 

(f)                                   Insufficient Funds.  If at any time
insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to
pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such
funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due
hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the
amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward
payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled
thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties

 

(g)                                  Unallocated Funds.  If the Administrative
Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties
under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan
Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the
Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute
such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s ratable share
of the sum of the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time and,
in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations
then owing to such Lender.

 

2.13                        Sharing of Payments.  If, other than as expressly
provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made
by it any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any
right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share
contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the
Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders of
the same class such participations in the Loans of the same class made by them
as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess
payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro
rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such
excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of
the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such
purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to
the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount
equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of
(i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total
amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount
paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so
recovered, without further interest thereon.  The Borrower agrees that any
Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right
of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount
of such participation.  The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall
be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations
purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders
following any such purchases or repayments.  Each Lender that purchases a
participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase
have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other
communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the
Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were
the original owner of the Obligations purchased.  For the avoidance of doubt,
the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall not be construed to apply to (A) the
assignments and participations (including by means of a Dutch Auction) described
in Sections 2.05(c) and 10.07 or (B) the incurrence of any Specified Refinancing
Debt in accordance with Section 2.19.

2.15                        Extension Offers.

 

(a)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made
from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of Term LoansFacilities having
a like maturity date on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the respective Term LoansFacilities) and on the same terms
to each such Lender, the Borrower may from time to time extend the maturity date
of any Term LoansFacility and otherwise modify the terms of such Term
LoansFacility pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including,
without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect
of such Term LoansFacility (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the
amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term LoansFacility) (each, an
“Extension”, and each group of Term LoansFacilities as so extended, as well as
the original Term LoansFacilities (in each case not so extended), being a
“tranche”; any Extended Term LoansFacility shall constitute a separate tranche
of Term LoansFacility from the tranche of Term LoansFacility from which they
were converted, so long as the following terms are satisfied:  (i) no Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the offering
document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the applicable
Lenders, (ii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity
date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which
shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iii), (iv) and (v), be
determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the
Term LoansFacility of any Lender extended pursuant to any Extension (each an
“Extended Term LoansFacility”) shall have the same terms as the tranche of Term
LoansFacility subject to such Extension Offer, (iii) the final maturity date of
any Extended Term LoansFacility shall be no earlier than the then latest
Maturity Date hereunder and the amortization schedule applicable to Term Loans
pursuant to Section 2.07 for periods prior to the original applicable Maturity
Date may not be increased, (iv) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any
Extended Term LoansFacility shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted
Average Life to Maturity of the Term LoansFacility extended thereby, (v) any
Extended Term LoansFacility may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than
pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or
mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the
respective Extension Offer, (vi) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans
and Commitments (calculated on the face amount thereof), in respect of which
Lenders or shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the
maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans and Commitments offered to be
extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans
and Commitments of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum
amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual
holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such
Extension Offer, (vii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be
consistent with the foregoing, and (viii) any applicable Minimum Extension
Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower.  For the avoidance
of doubt, no Lender shall be required to participate in any Extension.

 

(b)                                 [Reserved].

 

(c)                                  With respect to all Extensions consummated
by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15, (i) such Extensions shall not
constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of
Section 2.05 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount
or any minimum increment; provided that the Borrower may at its election specify
as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such
Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant
Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the
Borrower) of Term LoansFacilities (as applicable) of any or all applicable
tranches be tendered.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent
to the Extensions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.15
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium
in respect of any Extended Term LoansFacility on the such terms as may be set
forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that may otherwise
prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this
Section 2.15.

 

66

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

 

(d)                                 The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to enter into amendments to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary in
order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Term
LoansFacilities so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or
appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or
sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.15.  Without
limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions the respective Loan
Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Collateral Agent is hereby
directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the then
latest Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the then latest
Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the
Collateral Agent).

 

(e)                                  In connection with any Extension, the
Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent at
least five (5) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent) prior written notice thereof, and
shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable
to, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, in each case acting
reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.15.

 

2.16                        Increase Facilities.

 

(a)                                 Provided there exists no Default, upon
notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders)
specifying in reasonable detail the proposed terms thereof, the Borrower may
from time to time, request (x) an increase in the Term Loans or any New Term
Loans or (y) an increase in any New Revolving Facility, in each case by an
amount (for all such requests, and all requests for a New Term
FacilityFacilities or New Revolving Facilities pursuant to Section 2.17 and
Incremental Equivalent Debt) not exceeding the sum of (i) the maximum positive
amount at such time that could be Incurred without causing the Consolidated
First LienSenior Secured Net Debt Ratio to exceed 2.25 to 1.00 (in each case, on
a pro forma basis, after giving effect to such New Term Loans or New Revolving
Facility, increased Loans or Incremental Equivalent Debt Incurred on or prior to
the date of determination (but excluding any amounts Incurred simultaneously
pursuant to clause (ii) below) and the use of the proceeds therefrom) and
(ii) $300,000,000 (together with all requests for New Term Facilities pursuant
to Section 2.17 and Incremental Equivalent Debt and, in the case of an increase
to a New Revolving Facility, assuming that the amount of such increase is fully
drawn), (ii) $400,000,000 and (iii) the aggregate principal amount of all
voluntary prepayments after the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date of (x) Term Loans
and New Term Loans prior to such date and (including pursuant to a Dutch Auction
pursuant to Section 2.05(c)) (y) loans under any New Revolving Facility and
loans under the ABL Credit Agreement in each case solely to the extent
accompanied by a dollar-for-dollar permanent reduction of New Revolving
Commitments or commitments under the ABL Credit Agreement, as applicable), prior
to such date, in each case for this clause (iii) other than to the extent any
such prepayment is funded from the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness (“Maximum
Incremental Amount”); provided that any such request for an increase shall be in
a minimum amount of the lesser of (x) $25,000,000 and (y) the entire remaining
amount of increases available under this Section 2.16.  At the time of sending
such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall
specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which
shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery
of such notice to the Lenders).

 

(b)                                 Each applicable Lender shall notify the
Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to
increase its Loans and, if so, the amount of such requested increase.  Any
Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined
to increase its Loans.

 

(c)                                  The Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made
hereunder.  To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, the

 

67

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

 

Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders
pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.

 

(d)                                 If any Loans or Commitments are increased in
accordance with this Section 2.16, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
shall determine the effective date (the “Term Loan Increase Effective Date”) and
the final allocation of such increase.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify the Borrower and the applicable Lenders of the final allocation of such
increase and the applicable Term Loan Increase Effective Date.  As of the Term
Loan Increase Effective Date, the amortization schedule, if any, for the
applicable Loans shall be amended to increase the then-remaining unpaid
installments of principal by an aggregate amount equal to the additional Loans
of such class being made on such date, such aggregate amount to be applied to
increase such installments ratably in accordance with the amounts in effect
immediately prior to the Term Loan Increase Effective Date.  Such amendment may
be signed by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders.  In addition, in
connection with any increase in the Loans or Commitments, this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents may be amended in a writing (which may be executed and
delivered by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) to reflect any technical
changes necessary to give effect to such increase in accordance with its terms
as set forth herein (including the addition of such increase in Loans or
Commitments as a part of, and treated in a manner consistent with, the
applicable Facility, including, without limitation, for purposes of prepayments
and voting).

 

(e)                                  As a condition precedent to such increase,
(i) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the
Borrower dated as of the Term Loan Increase Effective Date signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower, certifying and attaching the resolutions
adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such increase, and certifying

continuing or would result from such increase, (iii) such increase in the
applicable Facility shall have a final maturity no earlier than the maturity
date of the Facility subject to such increase, (iv) the Weighted Average Life to
Maturity of such increase in the Facility shall be no shorter than that of the
existing Facility subject to such increase, (v) prior to the date that is 18
months after the Closing Date, the all-in yield (whether in the form of interest

the Borrower and the Lenders providing such increase and will not be more than
50 basis points higher than the corresponding all-in yield (giving effect to
interest rate margins, original issue discount, upfront fees and Eurodollar Rate
and Base Rate floors) for the existing Facility subject to such increase, unless

New Term Facility may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide loans
thereunder.  Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed
to have declined to participate in providing such New Term Facility.  The

opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and evidencing the
approval of such increase by the Borrower and each Material Subsidiary

or more new term loan facilities to the Facilities ((“Specified Refinancing Term
Loans”) or revolving credit facilities (“Specified Revolving Refinancing

ARTICLE III
TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

 

3.01                        Taxes.

 

(a)                                 All sums payable by any Loan Party hereunder
or under any other Loan Document to any Lender or Agent shall (except to the
extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or
withholding on account of, any Taxes.

 

(b)                                 If any Loan Party or any other applicable
withholding agent is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on
account of any Non-Excluded Tax or Other Taxes from any sum paid or payable by
any Loan Party to any Lender or Agent under any of the Loan Documents: (i) the
applicable Loan Party shall notify the applicable Agent of any such requirement
or any change in any such requirement as soon as such Loan Party becomes aware
of it; (ii) the applicable Loan Party or withholding agent shall make such
deduction or withholding and pay to the relevant Governmental Authority any such
Non-Excluded Tax or Other Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto,
such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Loan Party)
for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on the Lender or Agent) on
behalf of and in the name of the Lender or Agent (as applicable); (iii) if such
Tax is a Non-Excluded Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable to such Lender or Agent
(as applicable) shall be increased by such Loan Party to the extent necessary to
ensure that, after the making of any such required deduction or withholding of
Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including any deductions or withholdings of
Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to any payments required to be
made under this Section 3.01), the Lender (or where the Agent (as
applicable),receives the payments for its own account) receives on the due date
a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction or
withholding been required or made; and (iv) within thirty days after paying any
sum from which it is required by Law to make any deduction or withholding, and
within thirty days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required
by clause (ii) above to pay, the Loan Party making such payments shall deliver
to the applicable Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the other affected
parties of such deduction or withholding and of the remittance thereof to the
relevant Governmental Authority.

 

73

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

 

(c)                                  Each Lender shall, at such times as are
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by Laws
or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent certifying
as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in,
withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under any
Loan Document.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed
by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine
whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information
reporting requirements. Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or
change in circumstances renders such documentation (including any specific
documentation required below in this Section 3.01(c)) obsolete, expired or
inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any
new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its
inability to do so.

 

Without limiting the foregoing:

 

(1)                                 Each US Lender shall deliver to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party
to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-9
certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

 

(2)                                 Each Non-US Lender shall deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes
a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is
applicable:

 

(A)                               two properly completed and duly signed copies
of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for
the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, and
such other documentation as required under the Code,

 

(B)                               two properly completed and duly signed copies
of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),

 

(C)                               in the case of a Non-US Lender claiming the
benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or
Section 881(c) of the Code, (A) two properly completed and duly signed
certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit K (any such certificate, a
“United States Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two properly completed and
duly signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms),

 

(D)                               to the extent a Non-US Lender is not the
beneficial owner (for example, where the Non-US Lender is a partnership or a
participating Lender), IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Non-US
Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, United States Tax
Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required information
(or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under
this Section 3.01(c) if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable
(provided that, if one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio
interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided
by such Non-US Lender on behalf of such beneficial owner), or

 

74

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

 

(E)                                two properly completed and duly signed copies
of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws
(including the Treasury Regulations) as a basis for claiming a complete
exemption from, or a reduction in, United States federal withholding tax on any
payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents.

 

(3)                                 If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan
Document would be subject to tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to
comply with the applicable reporting requirements of those FATCA (including
those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such
Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or
times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by
Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable
law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such
additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such
Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under such
Sections and, if necessary, to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and
withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.01(c)(3),
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date hereof.

 

(4)                                 On or prior to the Closing Date, the
Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower an executed Form W-8IMY,
certifying in Part I that the Administrative Agent is a U.S. branch of a foreign
bank and certifying in Part IV, Line 12, that the Administrative Agent agrees to
be treated as a U.S. person with respect to any payments made to it under any
Loan Document. The Administrative Agent agrees that if such Form W-8IMY
previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect,
it shall update such form or promptly notify Borrower in writing of its legal
inability to do so. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent should
not be required to comply with this Section 3.01(c)(4) if such noncompliance
results from a change in law after the date hereof.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (c), a Lender shall not be
required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally eligible to
deliver.

 

(d)                                 In addition to the payments by a Loan Party
required by Section 3.01(b), the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

(e)                                  The Loan Parties shall, jointly and
severally, indemnify a Lender or Agent (each a “Tax Indemnitee”), within 10 days
after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes
paid or payable by such Tax Indemnitee on or attributable to any payment under
or with respect to any Loan Document, and any Other Taxes payable by such Tax
Indemnitee (including Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) and reasonable expense
attributable thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the
amount of such payment or liability prepared in good faith and delivered by the
Tax Indemnitee or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of another Tax
Indemnitee, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(f)                                   If and to the extent that a Tax
Indemnitee, in its sole discretion (exercised in good faith), determines that it
has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes in respect of
which it has received additional payments under this Section 3.01, then such Tax
Indemnitee shall pay to the relevant Loan Party the amount of such refund, net
of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Tax Indemnitee (including any Taxes imposed
with respect to such refund), and without interest (other than any interest paid
by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided
that the Loan Party,

 

75

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

 

upon the request of the Tax Indemnitee, agrees to repay the amount paid over to
the Tax Indemnitee (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) to the Tax Indemnitee if the Tax Indemnitee is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This subsection
shall not be construed to require a Tax Indemnitee to make available its Tax
returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems
confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

 

(g)                                  In the event that a Loan Party makes an
indemnification payment to a Tax Indemnitee with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes
or Other Taxes pursuant to Section 3.01 or a Loan Party is required to repay to
a Tax Indemnitee an amount in respect of a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or
Other Taxes previously paid over to such Loan Party pursuant to Section 3.01(f),
such Tax Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with all reasonable requests of
such Loan Party, at the sole expense of such Loan Party, if (i) in the
reasonable judgment of the Tax Indemnitee such cooperation shall not subject
such Tax Indemnitee, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed third party cost or
expense or otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Tax Indemnitee and
(ii) based on advice of such Loan Party’s independent accountants or external
legal counsel, there is a reasonable basis for such Loan Party to contest with
the applicable Governmental Authority the imposition of such Non-Excluded Taxes
or Other Taxes or the repayment of such refund.  Any resulting refund shall be
governed by Section 3.01(f).  This Section 3.01(g) shall not be construed to
require a Tax Indemnitee to make available its Tax returns (or any other
information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party
or any other Person.

 

(h)                                 Each Lender hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor
Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.01(c).

 

(i)                                     From and after the Amendment No.1
Effective Date, solely for purposes of FATCA, the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent shall treat, and the Lenders hereby authorize the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent to treat, the Agreement and all Loans made
thereunder (including any Loans already outstanding) as no longer qualifying as
“grandfathered obligations” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section
1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

 

3.02                        Illegality.  If any Lender reasonably 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
Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the
Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions
on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of,
Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender
to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such
Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans
to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) 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 Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each
case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that
the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon
receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all
Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (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
Eurodollar 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
Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not
lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice
asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates
based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative

 

76

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

 

Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate
applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar Rate.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the
Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 
Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation
will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of
such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

 

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

 

3.04                        Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy.

 

(a)                                 If any Lender reasonably determines that as
a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any
Law, in each case after the ClosingAmendment No.1 Effective Date, or such
Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such
Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loan the
interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, or a
reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with
any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such
increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) any Excluded Taxes or,
(ii) any Non-Excluded Tax or Other Taxes indemnified under Section 3.01 with
respect to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of its
obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its
applicable Lending Office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount
payable hereunder, and (iior (iii) reserve requirements reflected in the
Eurodollar Rate), then from time to time promptly after demand of such Lender
setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs reasonably determined by
such Lender in good faith and in a manner generally consistent with similarly
situated customers of such Lender under agreements having provisions similar to
this Section 3.04 (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given
in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such
additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or
reduction.

 

(b)                                 If any Lender determines that the
introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in
the interpretation thereof, in each case after the ClosingAmendment No.1
Effective Date, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith,
has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or
any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s
obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to
capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to
time promptly after demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the
charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of

 

77

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

 

such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06),
the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate
such Lender for such reduction promptly after receipt of demand therefor.

 

(c)                                  The Borrower shall not be required to
compensate a Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or (b) for any such increased
cost or reduction incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to
the date that such Lender demands, or notifies the Borrower of its intention to
demand, compensation therefor; provided, that, if the circumstance giving rise
to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such 180 day period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof.

 

(d)                                 If any Lender requests compensation under
this Section 3.04, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower and at
the Borrower’s expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another
Lending Office for any Loan affected by such event; provided that such efforts
would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be inconsistent with the internal
policies of, or otherwise be disadvantageous in any material legal, economic or
regulatory respect to such Lender or its Lending Office. The provisions of this
Section 3.04(d) shall not affect or postpone any Obligations of the Borrower or
rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), (b) or (c).

 

(e)                                  For purposes of this Section 3.04, the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests,
rules, regulations, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection
therewith shall be deemed to have gone into effect after the ClosingAmendment
No.1 Effective Date, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

 

3.05                        Funding Losses.  Upon written demand of any Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis for calculating such compensation, the Borrower
shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any
loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

 

(a)                                 any 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);

 

(b)                                 any failure by the 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 Borrower; or

 

(c)                                  any mandatory assignment of such Lender’s
Loans (other than Base Rate Loans) pursuant to Section 3.07 on a day other than
the last day of the Interest Period for such Loans;

 

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of
funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the
deposits from which such funds were obtained, but excluding any such loss for
which no reasonable means of calculation exist, as set forth in Section 3.03.

 

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under
this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar
Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit
or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable
amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was
in fact so funded.

 

78

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

 

3.06                        Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.

 

(a)                                 A certificate of any Agent or any Lender
claiming compensation under this Article III and setting forth the additional
amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence
of manifest error.  In determining such amount, such Agent or such Lender may
use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

 

(b)                                 With respect to any Lender’s claim for
compensation under Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04, the Borrower shall not be
required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred
and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower
of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided, that, if the circumstance
giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180 day period referred to
above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.  If
any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.04, the
Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue from one
Interest Period to another Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans
into Eurodollar Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such
request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of
Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided, that such suspension shall not
affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

 

(c)                                  If the obligation of any Lender to make or
continue from one Interest Period to another any Eurodollar Rate Loan, or to
convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant
to Section 3.06(b) hereof, such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be
automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then
current Interest Period(s) for such Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of an
immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required
by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that
the circumstances specified in Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise
to such conversion no longer exist:

 

(i)                  to the extent that such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans have
been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would
otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be applied
instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

 

(ii)               all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one
Interest Period to another by such Lender as Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made
or continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender
that would otherwise be converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall remain as
Base Rate Loans.

 

(d)                                 If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower
(with a copy to the Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02,
3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurodollar
Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender
agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when
Eurodollar Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base
Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next
succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans, to the
extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the
Lenders holding Eurodollar Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as
to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance
with their respective Commitments.

 

3.07                        Replacement of Lenders Under Certain Circumstances.

 

(a)                                 If at any time (i) the Borrower becomes
obligated to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments described in
Section 3.01 or 3.04 as a result of any condition described in such Sections or
any Lender ceases to make Eurodollar Rate Loans as a result of any condition
described in Section 3.02 or 3.03 or (ii) any Lender becomes a “Non-Consenting
Lender” (as defined below in this Section 3.07), then the Borrower may, with
prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such
Lender

 

79

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

 

by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign
pursuant to Section 10.07(b) (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower
in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one
or more Eligible Assignees; provided, that neither the Administrative Agent nor
any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement
Lender or other such Person.

 

(b)                                 Any Lender being replaced pursuant to
Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption
with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans, and (ii) deliver
any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or Administrative Agent. 
Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender shall
acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s
Commitment and outstanding Loans, (B) all obligations of the Borrower owing to
the assigning Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall
be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently
with such assignment and assumption and (C) upon such payment and, if so
requested by the assignee Lender, delivery to the assignee Lender of the
appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the assignee Lender shall
become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a
Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and
participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this
Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender. In connection with
any such replacement, if any such Non-Consenting Lender does not execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Assumption
reflecting such replacement within five (5) Business Days of the date on which
the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption to such
Non-Consenting Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have
executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption without any action on the
part of the Non-Consenting Lender.  In connection with the replacement of any
Lender pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender
such amounts as may be required pursuant to Section 3.05.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained above, the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be
replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 9.09.

 

(d)                                 In the event that (i) the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent has requested the Lenders to consent to a departure or
waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or to agree to any amendment
thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the
agreement of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01
or all the Lenders with respect to a certain class of the Loans and (iii) the
Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any
Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a
“Non-Consenting Lender.”

 

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

ARTICLE V

Lenders that, as of the Closing Date (after giving effect to the Transactions):

 

5.01                        Organization and Qualification.  (a) Each Loan Party
and each of the Restricted Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and

is duly qualified, authorized to do business and in good standing as a foreign

to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.02                        Power and Authority.  Each Loan Party is duly
authorized to execute, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a
party.  The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of the Loan
Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary

consent or approval of any holders of Equity Interests of such Loan Party or any
Governmental Authority, in each case, other than those already obtained;
(b) contravene the Organization Documents of such Loan Party; (c) violate or
cause a default under any material applicable Law binding on such Loan Party or
Material Contract of such Loan Party, except, with respect to Material

Adverse Effect; (d) require any registration or filing with, or any other action
by, any Governmental Authority, except (i) such as have been obtained or made

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

securities.  The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable
efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be
distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall

Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information
(although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or
its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws
(provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute
Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.0710.08); (y) all
Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a
portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (z) the
Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Borrower
Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a
portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.”

(ii) any Excluded Subsidiary ceasing to be an Excluded Subsidiary but remaining
a Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to constitute the acquisition of a
Restricted Subsidiary for all purposes of this Section 6.10), or upon the
acquisition of any personal property, including Intellectual Property (other
than “Excluded Property” as defined in the Security Agreement) or any Material
Real Property by any Loan Party, which real or personal property, in the
reasonable judgment of the Collateral Agent, is not already subject to a
perfected Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, and then the Borrower shall, in each case at the Borrower’s expense:

Excluded Subsidiary) held by a Loan Party shall be required to be pledged as
Collateral and no such restriction shall apply to

 

94

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

 

non-voting Equity Interests of such Subsidiaries; provided, further, that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no assets owned by
any Foreign Subsidiary that is a CFC (including stock owned by such Foreign
Subsidiary in a Domestic Subsidiary) or any Subsidiary described in clause
(i) of the definition of Excluded Subsidiary shall be required to be pledged as
Collateral,

 

(ii)               within ninety (90) days after such formation or acquisition
(or such longer period, as the Collateral Agent may agree), furnish to the
Collateral Agent a description of the real and personal properties of the Loan
Parties and their respective Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries) in
detail reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent; provided that any such
information provided pursuant to this clause (ii) shall consist solely of
information of the type that would be set forth on Schedules 5.04, 5.05,

to Material Real Properties only), Pledge Supplements, security agreement
supplements and other security agreements, as specified by and in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (consistent with the
Security Agreement, Intellectual Property Security Agreement and Mortgages),
securing payment of all the Obligations of the applicable Loan Party or such
Subsidiary, as the case may be, under the Loan Documents and constituting Liens
on all such properties,

 

(iv)           within ninety (90) days after such formation or acquisition, or
such longer period, as the Collateral Agent may agree in its sole discretion,

whatever action (including, without limitation, the recording of Mortgages (with
respect to Material Real Properties only), life of loan flood hazard
determinations (together with a notice about special flood hazard area status
and flood disaster assistance duly executed by the applicable Loan Party and
evidence of flood insurance, if applicable) the filing of Uniform Commercial
Code financing statements, the giving of notices and delivery of stock and
membership interest certificates) may be necessary or advisable in the
reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent to vest in the Collateral Agent (or
in any representative of the Administrative Agent designated by it) valid and
subsisting Liens on the properties purported to be subject to the Mortgages,
Pledge Supplements and security agreements delivered pursuant to this
Section 6.10, in each case, to the extent required under the Loan Documents and
subject to the perfection exceptions (as provided in the Security Agreement),

Agent and the other Secured Parties, of counsel for the Loan Parties reasonably
acceptable to such Agent as to such matters as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably request,

 

(vi)           as promptly as practicable after the request of the
Administrative Agent, deliver to the Collateral Agent with respect to each
Material Real Property owned in fee by a Subsidiary that is the subject of such
request, title reports in scope, form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent, fully paid American Land Title Association Lender’s
Extended Coverage title insurance policies or the equivalent or other form
available in the applicable jurisdiction in form and substance, with
endorsements and in amounts, reasonably acceptable to the

 

95

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

 

Collateral Agent (not to exceed the value of the Material Real Properties
covered thereby) and surveys that are in the possession of the applicable Loan
Party, and

 

(vii)        at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver any
and all further instruments and documents and take all such other action as the
Collateral Agent in its reasonable judgment may deem necessary in obtaining the
full benefits of, or in perfecting and preserving the Liens of, such guaranties,
Mortgages, Pledge Supplements and security agreements.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the
Collateral Agent shall not take a security interest in those assets as to which
the Collateral Agent shall determine, in its reasonable discretion, that the
cost of obtaining such Lien (including any mortgage, stamp, intangibles or other
tax) are excessive in relation to the benefit to the Lenders of the security
afforded thereby, (ii) neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be
required to take any actions in order to perfect the security interests granted
to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties under the
law of any jurisdiction outside the United States and (iii) any security
interest or Lien, and any obligation of any Loan Party, shall be subject to the
relevant requirements of the Intercreditor Agreement.

cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, satisfy the requirements set forth
on Schedule 6.11 on or before the date thereon specified for such requirement,

so long as the Borrower is working diligently in good faith to complete, or
cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to complete, the applicable requirement as
determined by the Agent in its sole discretion.

pursuant to Section 7.03(a), the Borrower shall, in its sole discretion, at the
time of Incurrence, divide, classify or reclassify, or at any later time divide,
classify or

 

102

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

 

reclassify, such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or
any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 7.03 and
shall only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness,
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or portion thereof) in Section 7.03(a) or
one of the clauses or subsections of 7.03(b); provided that all Indebtedness
under this Agreement and the ABL Credit Agreement outstanding on the
ClosingAmendment No. 1 Effective Date shall be deemed to have been Incurred
pursuant to Section 7.03(b)(1) and the Borrower shall not be permitted to
reclassify all or any portion of such Indebtedness.  Accrual of interest or
dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of
original issue discount, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of
additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the payment of dividends on
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of the same class, the accretion of
liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding
solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies will not
be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred
Stock for purposes of Section 7.03.  Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of
letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness that are otherwise included in the
determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in

of the Indebtedness represented by such Guarantee or letter of credit, as the
case may be, was in compliance with this covenant. Indebtedness Incurred to
Refinance Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clauses (1), (4) and (12) of
Section 7.03(b) shall be permitted to include additional Indebtedness,
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock incurred to pay accrued but unpaid
interest and dividends and premiums (including reasonable tender premiums),
defeasance costs and fees and expenses incurred in connection with such
refinancing.

 

(d)                                 For purposes of determining compliance with
any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the
U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign
currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in
effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term debt, or
first committed or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S.
dollar-equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such
Indebtedness is Incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a
foreign currency, and such Refinancing would cause the applicable U.S.
dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant
currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such Refinancing, such U.S.
dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long
as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (i) the
principal amount of such Indebtedness being Refinanced plus (ii) the aggregate
amount of fees, defeasance costs, underwriting discounts, accrued and unpaid
interest, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such
Refinancing.

amount of more than the Threshold Amount, or (B) fails to observe or perform any
other agreement or condition relating to any such Indebtedness, or any other

behalf of such holder or holders or beneficiary or beneficiaries) to cause, with
the giving of notice if

 

120

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

 

required, such Indebtedness to become due or to be repurchased, prepaid,
defeased or redeemed (automatically or otherwise), or an offer to repurchase,

the property or assets securing such Indebtedness, if such sale or transfer is
permitted hereunder and under the documents providing for such Indebtedness and
such Indebtedness is repaid when required under the documents providing for such
Indebtedness; provided, further, that such failure is unremedied and is not
validly waived by the holders of such Indebtedness in accordance with the terms
of the documents governing such Indebtedness prior to any acceleration of the
Loans pursuant to Section 8.02; or

 

(f)                                   Insolvency Proceedings, Etc.  Any Loan

Loan Party or any Significant Subsidiary a final judgment or order for the
payment of money in an aggregate amount (as to all such judgments and orders)
exceeding the Threshold Amount (to the extent not covered by independent
third-party insurance as to which the insurer has been notified of such judgment
or order and does not deny or fail to acknowledge coverage) and there is a
period of sixty (60) consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement of such
judgment, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, is not in effect; or

to revoke or rescind any Loan Document; or

 

(k)                                 Change of Control.  There occurs any Change
of Control; or

 

(l)                                     Collateral Documents.  Any Collateral
Document covering a material portion of the Collateral after delivery thereof
shall for any reason (other than pursuant to the terms thereof including as a
result of a transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or 7.05) cease to create a
valid and perfected first priority Lien on and security interest in any material
Collateral covered thereby, subject to Liens permitted under Section 7.01,
except to the extent (i) that any such perfection or priority is not required
pursuant to Section 4.01, 6.10, or 6.11 or results from the failure of the
Collateral Agent to maintain possession of certificates actually delivered to it
representing securities pledged under the Collateral Documents or to file
Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements, or (ii) except as to Collateral
consisting of real property, to the extent that such losses are covered by a
lender’s title insurance policy and such insurers have not denied or failed to
acknowledge coverage.

Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, and, at the
request of the Required Lenders, shall take any or all of the following actions:

(b)                                 declare the unpaid principal amount of all
outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other

immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower;

 

(c)                                  [Reserved]; and

 

(d)                                 exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders
all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan
Documents, under any document evidencing Indebtedness in respect of which the
Facilities have been designated as “Designated Senior Debt,” (or any comparable
term) and/or under applicable Law;

 

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an
order for relief with respect to the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law, the
unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other
amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, in each case
without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

 

8.03                        Application of Funds.  After the exercise of
remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically
become immediately due and payable), any amounts received on account of the
Obligations shall, be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following
order:

 

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,
indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, disbursements and other

Article III, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts
described in this clause Second payable to them;

principal of the Loans ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective
amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;

or in respect of the Loan Documents that are due and payable to the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based
upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and

 

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been paid in full,
to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

 

ARTICLE IX
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER AGENTS

 

9.01                        Appointment and Authorization of Agents.

 

(a)                                 Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints,
designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its
behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and
to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it
by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and the Administrative Agent hereby
accepts such appointment.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, no Agent, including
the Syndication Agent, shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those
expressly set forth herein, nor shall any Agent, including the Syndication
Agent, have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or
participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or otherwise exist against any Agent, including the Syndication Agent. 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term
“agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any 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
merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only
an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

 

(b)                                 Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and
authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes
of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by
any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with
such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto, and the
Collateral Agent hereby accepts such appointment In this connection, the
Collateral Agent (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed
by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 for purposes of holding or
enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the
Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at
the direction of the Collateral Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all

 

123

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

 

provisions of this Article IX (including, without limitation, Section 9.07, as
though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the Collateral
Agent under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect
thereto.

 

9.02                        Delegation of Duties.  Each of the Agents may
execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
(including, with respect to the Collateral Agent, for purposes of holding or
enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the
Collateral Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder) by or
through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice
of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to
such duties.  Neither Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of
bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

9.03                        Liability of Agents.  No Agent-Related Person shall
(a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the
transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own bad faith, gross negligence
or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein,
to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction) or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or
participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any
Loan Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan
Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to
or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in
connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security
interest created or purported to be created under the Collateral Documents, or
for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to
perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  No Agent-Related Person shall
be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire
as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or
conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the
properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.

 

9.04                        Reliance by Agents.

 

(a)                                 Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and
shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature,
resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter,
telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message,
statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons,
and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan
Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent.  Each
Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under
any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of
the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly
required hereby in any instance) as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests,
it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and
all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action.  Each Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required
Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby
in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

 

(b)                                 For purposes of determining compliance with
the conditions specified in 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

 

124

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

 

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.

 

9.05                        Notice of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall
not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default,
except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees
required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders,
unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender
or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating
that such notice is a “notice of default.”  The Administrative Agent will notify
the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice.  The Administrative Agent shall
take such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed by the
Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided, however, that unless
and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it
shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

 

9.06                        Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by
Agents.  Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any
representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent taken after the
Closing Date, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or
review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be
deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person
to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have
disclosed material information in their possession.  Each Lender represents to
each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any
Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the
business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all
applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions
contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and
to extend credit to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereunder.  Each
Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any
Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall
deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis,
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary
to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial
and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan
Parties.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to
be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any
duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial
and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of
their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any
Agent-Related Person.

 

9.07                        Indemnification of Agent.  Whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify
upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on
behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party
to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and
against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however,
that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of
any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final,
nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
from such Agent-Related Person’s own bad faith, gross negligence or willful
misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the
directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute bad faith,
gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.07. 
Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the
Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or
out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees, disbursements and other charges of
counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification,

 

125

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

 

amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or
otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under,
this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or
referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not
reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower.  The undertaking
in this Section 9.07 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the
payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative
Agent.

 

9.08                        Agents in their Individual Capacities.  Any Agent
and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account
of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in
any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business
with each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as though it were
not an Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders.  The
Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, an Agent or its
Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or its Affiliates
(including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in
favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that such Agent
shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.  With respect
to its Loans, such Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this
Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though
it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include such Agent in
its individual capacity.

 

9.09                        Successor Agents.  Each Agent may resign as the
Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders.  If any Agent resigns under
this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a
successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be consented to by
the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default
under Section 8.01(a), (f), or (g) (which consent of the Borrower shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed).  If no successor agent is appointed prior to
the effective date of the resignation of such Agent, such Agent may appoint,
after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among
the Lenders.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent
hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the
rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Administrative
Agent” or “Collateral Agent,” as applicable, shall mean such successor
administrative agent and/or supplemental administrative agent or successor
collateral agent and/or supplemental collateral agent , as the case may be, and
the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as such Agent shall be
terminated.  After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as the applicable
Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while
it was the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this
Agreement.  If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, by the date which is thirty (30) days
following the retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s
resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall
perform all of the duties of such Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as
the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.  Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor
and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or
amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and
such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the
Required Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens
granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents, the Collateral
Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent.  Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor or upon the
expiration of the thirty-day period following the retiring Agent’s notice of
resignation without a successor agent having been appointed, such retiring Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. 
After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as the applicable Agent, the
provisions of this Article IX shall continue in effect for its benefit in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as
the applicable Agent.

 

126

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

 

9.10                        Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In
case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of
whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the
Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

 

(a)                                 to file and prove a claim for the whole
amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans
and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other
amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 10.04)
allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

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

 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event
that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents
and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Section 10.04.

 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent
to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent
to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

 

9.11                        Collateral and Guaranty Matters.  Each of the
Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its
discretion,

 

(a)                                 to release any Lien on any property granted
to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination
of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than
contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted),
(ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale
permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iii) subject to
Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required
Lenders or (iv) to the extent such property is secured by a Permitted Lien under
clause (6) of the definition thereof (solely as it relates to
Section 7.03(b)(4));

 

(b)                                 to subordinate any Lien on any property
constituting ABL Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under
any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is secured by
a Permitted Lien under clause (6) of the definition thereof as it relates to the
ABL Credit Agreement;

 

(c)                                  to release any Guarantor from its
obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Restricted
Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and

 

(d)                                 to enter into intercreditor agreements (in a
form not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Lenders than the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, in the case of

 

127

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

 

Indebtedness with Junior Lien Priority, or in a form customary for intercreditor
agreements or collateral trust agreements in light of then prevailing market
conditions, in the case of Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations), subordination
agreements and amendments to the Collateral Documents to reflect arrangements
with respect to any obligations (other than the Obligations) permitted to be
incurred hereunder and secured by Liens permitted to be incurred hereunder on
all or a portion of the Collateral, on terms acceptable to the Collateral Agent;
and

 

(e)                                  upon no less than ten (10) Business Days
prior written notice to the Collateral Agent from a Responsible Officer of the
Borrower, at the sole expense of the Borrower, to release any Lien on any
property (including without limitation, receivables arising from the sale of
equipment, tooling and related services) disposed as permitted under the Loan
Documents, in each case in connection with a Permitted Receivables Financing,
and to execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents
as the Borrower reasonably requests, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, including financing statement amendments
to evidence the release of such Lien.

 

Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will
confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release its interest in
particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its
obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.11.  In each case as
specified in this Section 9.11, the Collateral Agent will, at the Borrower’s
expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such
Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of
Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the
Collateral Documents, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under
the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents
and this Section 9.11; provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the
Collateral Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower
certifying that any such transaction has been consummated in compliance with
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

 

9.12                        [Reserved].

 

9.13                        Other Agents; Arranger and Managers.  None of the
Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of
this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “co-documentation agent,” “joint lead
arranger,” or “bookrunner” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability,
responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all
Lenders as such.  Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other
Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship
with any Lender.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not
rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter
into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

 

9.14                        Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents
and Supplemental Collateral Agents.

 

(a)                                 It is the purpose of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any
jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or
associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction.  It
is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the
Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, in
each case, as applicable, deems that by reason of any present or future Law of
any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies
granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action
which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative
Agent or the Collateral Agent, in each case, as applicable, is hereby authorized
to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by such Agent in its
sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative

 

128

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

 

agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent, collateral sub-agent,
administrative co-agent or collateral co-agent (any such additional individual
or institution being referred to herein individually, as a “Supplemental
Administrative Agent” or a “Supplemental Collateral Agent,” in each case, as
applicable, and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents” or
“Supplemental Collateral Agents,” in each case, as applicable).

 

(b)                                 In the event that the Collateral Agent
appoints a Supplemental Collateral Agent with respect to any Collateral,
(i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or
conveyed to the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be
exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Collateral Agent to the extent, and
only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Collateral Agent to
exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and
to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and
obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or
performance thereof by such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall run to and be
enforceable by either the Collateral Agent or such Supplemental Collateral
Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article IX and of Sections 10.04 and
10.05 (obligating the Borrower to pay the Agents’ expenses and to indemnify the
Agents) that refer to the Collateral Agent shall inure to the benefit of such
Supplemental Collateral Agent and all references therein to the Collateral Agent
shall be deemed to be references to the Collateral Agent and/or such
Supplemental Collateral Agent, as the context may require.

 

(c)                                  In the event that the Administrative Agent
appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent, (i) each and every right, power,
privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative
Agent shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent
to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental
Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges and to
perform such duties, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan
Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such
Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the
Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the
provisions of this Article IX and of Sections 10.04 and 10.05 (obligating the
Borrower to pay the Agents’ expenses and to indemnify the Agents) that refer to
the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental
Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent
shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such
Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require.

 

(d)                                 Should any instrument in writing from the
Borrower, Holdings or any other Loan Party be required by any Supplemental
Collateral Agent so appointed by the Collateral Agent for more fully and
certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges
and duties, the Borrower or Holdings, as applicable, shall, or shall cause such
Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments
promptly upon request by the Collateral Agent.  In case any Supplemental
Collateral Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting,
resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such
Supplemental Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and
be exercised by the Collateral Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental
Collateral Agent.

 

(e)                                  Should any instrument in writing from the
Borrower, Holdings or any other Loan Party be required by any Supplemental
Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and
certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges
and duties, the Borrower or Holdings, as applicable, shall, or shall cause such
Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments
promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent.  In case any Supplemental
Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of
acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of
such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the

 

129

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

 

extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative
Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent.

 

9.15                        Withholding Taxes.  To the extent required by any
applicable laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any
Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax.  Without limiting
or expanding the provisions of Section 3.01, each Lender shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in
respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any
and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees,
charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred
by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other
Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to
properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for
any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not
delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the
Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption
from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective).  A certificate as to the
amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the
Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender
hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all
amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this
Section 9.15.  The agreements in this Section 9.15 shall survive the resignation
and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or
the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the
repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

 

ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS

 

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

 

(a)                                 extend or increase the Commitment of any
Lender, or reinstate the Commitment of any Lender after the termination of such
Commitment pursuant to Section 8.02, in each case without the written consent of
such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set
forth in Section 4.01 or the waiver of any Default or Event of Default,
mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not
constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender);

 

(b)                                 postpone any date scheduled for any payment
of principal of, or interest on, any Loan, or any fees or other amounts payable
hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely
affected thereby (it being understood that the waiver of any mandatory
prepayment of Loans under any Facility shall not constitute a postponement of
any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest);

 

(c)                                  reduce the principal of, or the rate of
interest specified herein on, any Loan or (subject to clause (iii) of the second
proviso to this Section 10.01) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or
under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender
directly and adversely affected thereby; provided, however, that only the
consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of
“Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the
Default Rate;

specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or
otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any
consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender;

under Section 7.05, release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any
transaction or series of related transactions, without the written consent of
each Lender;

Section 7.04 or 7.05, release all or substantially all of the value of the
aggregate Guaranty, without the written consent of each Lender; or

 

(h)                                 without the written consent of Lenders
holding a majority in aggregate principal amount of the adversely affected class
of Loans, (i) change the order of application of any prepayment of Loans among
the Facilities or (ii) impose any greater restriction on the ability of any
Lender under a Facility to assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder;

 

and provided, further that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, in
addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of, or any
fees or other amounts payable to, the Administrative Agent under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document; and (ii) Section 10.07(g) may not be amended, waived
or otherwise modified without the consent of each Granting Lender all or any
part of whose Loans are being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment,
waiver or other modification.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
no Affiliate Lender (other than any Debt Fund Affiliate) shall have any right to
approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that
(x) any waiver, amendment or modification which by its terms requires the
consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or
modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that
by its terms affects any Affiliate Lender in its capacity as a Lender more
adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such
Affiliate Lender.

 

This Section 10.01 shall be subject to any contrary provision of Sections 2.16,
2.17 2.18 or 2.19.  In addition, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary
contained in this Section 10.01, (a) if the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission
of a technical nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents,
then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such
provision and (b) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted
to amend any provision of any Collateral Document to better implement the
intentions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and in each case,
such amendments shall become effective without any further action or consent of
any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing
by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of
notice thereof.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with
any “Required Lender” votes, Lenders that are Debt Fund Affiliates shall not be
permitted, in the aggregate, to account for more than 49.9% of the amounts
includable in determining whether the “Required Lenders” have consented to any
amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action that is subject to such
vote.  The voting power of each Lender that is a Debt Fund Affiliate shall be

(c)                                  The Platform.  THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS
IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”  THE AGENT-RELATED PERSONS DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY
OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND
EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER
MATERIALS.  NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING
ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE
DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON IN CONNECTION WITH THE

 

132

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

 

BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM.  In no event shall any Agent-Related Person
have any liability to Holdings, the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort,
contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative
Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the
extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to
have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Agent-Related Person; provided, however, that in no event shall any
Agent-Related Person have any liability to Holdings, the Borrower, any Lender or
any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive
damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan
Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested
exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection

 

133

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

 

with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the
Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the
Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies
that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent)
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising
setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.09 (subject to the terms of
Section 2.13), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and
filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative
to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at
any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights
otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and
(ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the
preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent
of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as
authorized by the Required Lenders.

 

10.04                 Expenses and Taxes.  The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or
reimburse the Administrative Agent and the other Agents for all reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
preparation, negotiation, syndication and execution of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents (including reasonable expenses incurred in connection with
due diligence and travel, courier, reproduction, printing and delivery
expenses), and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the
provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated
thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees,
disbursements and other charges of counsel (limited to the reasonable fees,
disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Administrative Agent and,
if necessary, of one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction plus, in the
event of any actual or potential conflict of interest where such Agent affected
by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict, one additional counsel
in each relevant jurisdiction for each Agent subject to such conflict), and
(b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the other Agents and each
Lender for all reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred
in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the fees, disbursements and
other charges of counsel (limited to the fees, disbursements and other charges
of one counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders taken as a whole,
and, if necessary, of one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and of
special counsel for each relevant specialty and, in the event of any actual or
potential conflict of interest where such Agent or Lender affected by such
conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict, one additional counsel in each
relevant jurisdiction for each Lender or group of Lenders or Agent subject to
such conflict), in each case without duplication for any amounts paid (or
indemnified) under Section 3.01.  All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall
be paid within thirty (30) days after invoiced or demand therefor (with a
reasonably detailed invoice with respect thereto).  The agreements in this
Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and
repayment of all other Obligations.  If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any
costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Loan
Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, in its sole discretion.

 

10.05                 Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower and the
Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Arrangers, each Agent-Related Person, each Lender and their respective
Affiliates, partners, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and, in
the case of any funds, trustees and advisors and attorneys-in-fact (collectively
the “Indemnitees”) from and against (and will reimburse each Indemnitee as the
same are incurred for) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs (including
settlement costs), expenses and disbursements (including the fees, disbursements
and other charges of (i) one counsel to the Indemnitees taken as a whole,
(ii) in the case of any actual or perceived conflict of interest where such
Person affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict,
additional counsel to the affected Lender or group of

 

134

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

 

Lenders, limited to one such additional counsel for each affected Lender or
group of Lenders, and (iii) if necessary, one local counsel in each relevant
jurisdiction and special counsel for each relevant specialty) of any kind or
nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
or awarded against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of
or in connection with or by reason of (x) any actual or prospective claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding in any way relating to, arising out of,
in connection with or by reason of any of the following, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation
for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or
proceeding):  (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or
administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument
delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby or (b) any Commitment or
Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (y) any actual or
alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any
property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower, any Subsidiary
or any other Loan Party (other than as regarding events or conditions first
occurring or existing only after the relevant property is no longer owned or
operated by any of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Loan Party) or any
Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or
any other Loan Party, ((x) and (y), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”)
in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of
the negligence of the Indemnitee and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a
party thereto; provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final
and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence
or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or material breach of its express
obligations under the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee or its Related Parties
or (B) has resulted from any proceeding solely between or among Indemnitees and
not arising from any act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
(other than the Indemnitee’s capacity as an Agent or an Arranger).  No
Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any
information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other information
transmission systems (including electronic telecommunications) in connection
with this Agreement unless determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by
final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, nor shall any Indemnitee or any
Loan Party (without limitation to the Loan Parties’ indemnification obligations
hereunder) have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or
consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether
before or after the Closing Date).  In the case of an investigation, litigation
or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such
indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or
proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or
creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is
otherwise a party thereto.  Should any investigation, litigation or proceeding
be settled, or if there is a judgment against an Indemnitee in any such
investigation, litigation or proceeding, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold
harmless each Indemnitee in the manner set forth above.  All amounts due under
this Section 10.05 shall be payable within thirty (30) days after demand
therefor.  The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of
the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the
Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the
other Obligations. This Section 10.05 shall not apply with respect to Taxes
other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from
any non-Tax claim.

 

10.06                 Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any payment by or
on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent, to any Lender, or any 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 such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be
repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of
such recovery, the

 

135

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

 

obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived
and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or
such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of
any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from
the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.  The obligations of
the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment
in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 

10.07                 Successors and Assigns.

 

(a)                                 The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign
or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender
may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.07(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions
of Section 10.07(d), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest
subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(f) or (iv) to an SPC in accordance
with the provisions of Section 10.07(g) (and any other attempted assignment or
transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person
(other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(d) and,
to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 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(s) and the Loans at the
time owing to it); provided, that:

 

(i)                  (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining
amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment under any Facility and the Loans at
the time owing to it under such Facility or in the case of an assignment to a
Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender,
no minimum amount shall need be assigned, and (B) in any case not described in
clause (b)(i)(A) of this Section 10.07, the aggregate amount of the Commitment
or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the outstanding
principal balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such
assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect
to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date”
is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not
be less than $1,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as
no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) has occurred and is
continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent
assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from
members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible
Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single
assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

 

(ii)               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 prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion
of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis;

 

136

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

 

(iii)            no consent shall be required for any assignment except to the
extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section 10.07 and, in addition
(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a),
(f) or (g) 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 Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such
assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the
Administrative Agent within seven (7) Business Days after having received notice
thereof and (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless such assignment is to
a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (provided that the
Administrative Agent shall acknowledge any such assignment);

 

(iv)           the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing
and recordation fee of $3,500 (except, (x) in the case of contemporaneous
assignments by any Lender to two or more Approved Funds, only a single
processing and recording fee shall be payable for such assignments and (y) the
Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect to waive such processing
and recording fee in the case of any assignment);

 

(v)              no such assignment shall be made to a natural person;

 

(vi)           any assignment of any Loans to a Purchasing Borrower Party or
Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall also be subject to the requirements of
Section 10.07(k); and

 

(vii)        the assigning Lender shall deliver any Notes or, in lieu thereof, a
lost note affidavit reasonably acceptable to Borrower evidencing such Loans to
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to Section 10.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible 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, 10.04 and 10.05
with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of
such assignment, and subject to the obligations set forth in Section 10.08). 
Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note (if any),
the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee
Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under
this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (b) shall be treated for
purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(d).

 

(c)                                  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for
this purpose as an agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax
purposes), 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 related interest amounts) 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 Borrower, the
Agents 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

 

137

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

 

shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and any Lender, at
any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(d)                                 Any Lender may at any time, without the
consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to any Person (other than a natural person, an Affiliate Lender)
(each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and/or the Loans owing to it); provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations
under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or
instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide
that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to
approve any 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 directly affects such Participant.  Subject to Section 10.07(e), the
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and the limitations of
such Sections, including Section 3.01(c); it being understood that the
documentation required under Section 3.01(c) shall be delivered solely to the
Lender who sells the participation) to the same extent as if it were a Lender
and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(b).  To
the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided, such participant
agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender
that sells participations to a participant, acting solely for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register of all such
participants, provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all
or any portion of the participant register to any Person (including the identity
of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in
any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except
to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such
Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury regulations.  The entries in the participant
register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrower and the
Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the participant
register pursuant to the terms hereof as a participant for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

 

(e)                                  A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation
sold to such Participant, unless such entitlement to a greater payment results
from a change in any Law after the sale of the participation takes place.

 

(f)                                   Any Lender may at any time pledge or
assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such
Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal
Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; 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)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special
purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the
Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the
option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would
otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that
(i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan,
and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make
all or any part of such Loan,

 

138

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

 

the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms
hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative
Agent as is required under Section 2.12(b).  Each party hereto hereby agrees
that an SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05
(subject to the requirements and the limitations of such Sections, including the
obligations to provide the forms and certifications pursuant to
Section 3.01(c) as if it were a Lender); provided, that neither the grant to any
SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or
expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under
this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05)
unless such increase or change results from a change in any Law after the grant
was made.  Each party hereto further agrees that (i) no SPC shall be liable for
any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a
Lender would be liable, and (ii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes,
including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any
provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder.  The
making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the
Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such
Granting Lender.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby
agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that,
prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all
outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not, other
than in respect of matters unrelated to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting
against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or
liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State
thereof.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may
(i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign
all or any portion of its rights hereunder with respect to any Loan to the
Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public
information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial
paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity
enhancement to such SPC.

 

(h)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in
all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to
the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund
as security for such obligations or securities; provided, that unless and until
such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions
of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from
any of its obligations under the Loan Documents, and (ii) such trustee shall not
be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents
even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the
pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.

 

(i)                                     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its Term Loans,
Specified Refinancing Term Loans and New Term Loans hereunder to any Affiliate
Lender (including any Debt Fund Affiliate), but only if:

 

(i)                  such assignment is made pursuant to an open market
purchase;

 

(ii)               the assigning Lender and Affiliate Lender purchasing such
Lender’s Term Loans, Specified Refinancing Term Loans or New Term Loans, as
applicable, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment
agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto (an “Affiliate Lender
Assignment and Assumption”) in lieu of an Assignment and Assumption or with
respect to the Specified Investor, an Assignment and Assumption; and

 

(iii)            after giving effect to such assignment, Affiliate Lenders
(other than Debt Fund Affiliates) shall not, in the aggregate, own or hold Term
Loans, Specified Refinancing Term Loans and New Term Loans with an aggregate
principal amount in excess of 25% of the principal amount of all Loans then
outstanding.

 

139

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

 

(j)                                    Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.01
or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of
determining whether the Required Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented)
to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to
any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party
therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or
(iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any
Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect
to or under any Loan Document:

 

(x)                                 all Loans held by any Non-Debt Fund
Affiliate shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating
whether the Required Lenders have taken any actions; and

 

(y)                                 all Loans held by Debt Fund Affiliates may
not account for more than 49.9% of the Loans of consenting Lenders included in
determining whether the Required Lenders have consented to any action pursuant
to Section 10.01.

 

Additionally, the Loan Parties and each Non-Debt Fund Affiliate hereby agree
that if a case under Title 11 of the United States Code is commenced against any
Loan Party, such Loan Party shall seek (and each Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall
consent) to provide that the vote of any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate (in its
capacity as a Lender) with respect to any plan of reorganization of such Loan
Party shall not be counted except that such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate’s vote (in
its capacity as a Lender) may be counted to the extent any such plan of
reorganization proposes to treat the Obligations held by such Non-Debt Fund
Affiliate in a manner that is less favorable to such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate
than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not
Affiliates of the Borrower.  Each Non-Debt Fund Affiliate hereby irrevocably
appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an
interest) as such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate’s attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in the place and stead of such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate and in the name
of such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate (solely in respect of Loans and participations
therein and not in respect of any other claim or status such Non-Debt Fund
Affiliate may otherwise have), from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s
discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the
Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions
of this paragraph.

 

(k)                                 Notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may assign all or a portion of
its Loans to any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate or Purchasing Borrower Party in
accordance with Section 10.07(b); provided that:

 

(A)                               the assigning Lender and Non-Debt Fund
Affiliate or Purchasing Borrower Party purchasing such Lender’s Loans, as
applicable, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Affiliate
Lender Assignment and Assumption in lieu of an Assignment and Assumption;

 

(B)                               such assignment, if made to a Purchasing
Borrower Party, is made pursuant to a Dutch Auction in accordance with
Section 2.05(c) open to all Lenders, Specified Refinancing Term Loan Lenders or
New Term Lenders on a pro rata basis;

 

(C)                               any Loans assigned to any Purchasing Borrower
Party shall be automatically and permanently cancelled for upon the
effectiveness of such assignment and will thereafter no longer be outstanding
for any purpose hereunder; and

 

(D)                               no Loan may be assigned to a Non-Debt Fund
Affiliates pursuant to this Section 10.07(k), if after giving effect to such
assignment, Non-Debt Fund Affiliates in the aggregate would own in excess of 25%
of all Loans then outstanding.

 

140

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

 

(l)                                     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, no Affiliate Lender (other than any Debt- Fund Affiliate)
shall have any right to (i) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or
discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender to
which representatives of the Borrower are not then present, (ii) receive any
information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or
any communication by or among Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders,
except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to
the Borrower or its representatives (and in any case, other than the right to
receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of
its Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II), or
(iii) make or bring (or participate in, other than as a passive participant in
or recipient of its pro rata benefits of) any claim, in its capacity as a
Lender, against Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender
with respect to any duties or obligations or alleged duties or obligations of
such Agent or any other such Lender under the Loan Documents.

 

(m)                             The applicable Lender, acting solely for this
purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (solely for tax purposes),
shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of (i) each
SPC (other than any SPC that is treated as a disregarded entity of the Granting
Lender for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that has exercised its option
pursuant to Section 10.07(g) and (ii) each Participant, and the amount of each
such SPC’s and Participant’s interest in such Lender’s rights and/or obligations
under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”).  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 the applicable rights and/or obligations of such Lender under this
Agreement.

 

(n)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, in no event shall any Lender assign or sell any participation to any
Disqualified Lender.

 

10.08                 Confidentiality.  Each of the Agents and the Lenders
agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that
Information may be disclosed (a) to its directors, officers, employees and
agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, and other
Affiliates (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made
will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed
to keep such Information confidential in accordance with customary practices);
(b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over
such Agent, Lender or its respective Affiliates or in connection with any pledge
or assignment permitted under Section 10.07(f); (c) in any legal, judicial,
administrative proceeding or other compulsory process or otherwise as required
by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process
(in which case, such Agent or Lender agrees to inform the Borrower promptly
thereof prior to such disclosure to the extent not prohibited by law, rule or
regulation); (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (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 10.08 (or
as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), to any Eligible
Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or
Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; (g) with
the written consent of the Borrower; (h) to the extent such Information becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08;
(i) to any state, Federal or foreign authority or examiner (including the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar
organization) regulating any Lender; or (j) to any rating agency when required
by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating
agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information
relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender).  In addition, the
Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and
information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service
providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the
Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions.  For the
purposes of this Section 10.08,

 

141

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

 

“Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any
Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating
to any Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that is
publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to disclosure by any Loan
Party other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; provided, that,
in the case of information received from a Loan Party after the Closing Date,
such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential
or is delivered pursuant to Section 6.01, 6.02, or 6.03 hereof and is not
publicly available.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of
Information as provided in this Section 10.08 shall be considered to have
complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same
degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such
Person would accord to its own confidential information.

 

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (i) the
Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower,
Holdings or a Subsidiary of either, as the case may be, (ii) it has developed
compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and
(iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with
applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

 

10.09                 Setoff.  In addition to any rights and remedies of the
Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, each Secured Party is authorized at any time and from time to
time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such
notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each
Loan Party) to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and
all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), other
than deposits in fiduciary accounts as to which a Loan Party is acting as
fiduciary for another Person who is not a Loan Party, at any time held by, and
other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the
account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all Obligations owing to
such Secured Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, as of the Closing
Date or thereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such
Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a
currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness.  Each
Secured Party agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and each of the Agents
after any such set-off and application made by such Secured Party; provided,
however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such setoff and application; provided, further, that to the extent prohibited by
applicable law as described in the definition of “Excluded Swap Obligation,” no
amounts received from, or set off with respect to any Guarantor shall be applied
to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor.  The rights of any Agent and
each Secured Party under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) that any Agent
and such Secured Party may have.  Notwithstanding anything herein or in any
other Loan Document to the contrary, in no event shall the assets of any Foreign
Subsidiary constitute security, or shall the proceeds of such assets be
available for, payment of the Obligations of the Borrower or any Domestic
Subsidiary, it being understood that (a) the Equity Interests of any Foreign
Subsidiary that is directly owned by a Domestic Subsidiary does not constitute
such an asset (and may be pledged to the extent set forth in Section 6.10) and
(b) the provisions hereof shall not limit, reduce or otherwise diminish in any
respect the Borrower’s obligations to make any mandatory prepayment pursuant to
Section 2.05(b)(ii).

 

10.10                 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 any Agent or any
Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the
excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds
such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower.  In determining whether the
interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds
the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law,
(a) characterize any payment

 

142

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

 

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.

 

10.11                 Counterparts.  This Agreement and each other Loan Document
may be executed in one or more counterparts (and by different parties hereto in
different counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery by
telecopier or other electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a
signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective
as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other
Loan Document.  The Agents may also require that any such documents and
signatures delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission be confirmed
by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, that the failure to request or
deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature
delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission.

 

10.12                 Integration; Effectiveness.  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.  In the
event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any
other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided,
that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents or
the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this
Agreement.  Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the
respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor
of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

 

10.13                 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 each Agent
and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender
or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any 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.

 

10.14                 Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the
legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired
thereby.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
