hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, such parties hereby agree as follows:

of a Joinder Agreement in accordance with Section 5.9.

     “Advances Outstanding” means on any day, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of

     “Affiliate” of any Person means (i) any other Person which directly, or indirectly
through one or more intermediaries, controls such Person, (ii) any other Person which directly, or
indirectly through one or more intermediaries, is controlled by or is under common control with
such Person, or (iii) any other Person of which such Person owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or
more of the common stock or equivalent equity interests. As used herein, the term “control” means
possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management
or policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or
otherwise; provided, however, the term “Affiliate” shall not include any Person
that constitutes Investments in Equity Instruments or an Investment Loan Subsidiary.



     “Agreement” or “Credit Agreement” shall mean this Credit Agreement, as
amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms.



     “Agreement Currency” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 9.19(b).



     “Alternate Base Rate” shall mean, for any day, a rate per annum equal to:



     (a) in the case of amounts denominated in Dollars, the greater of (i) the Prime Rate in effect
on such day plus the Applicable Percentage, and (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on
such day plus 1/2 of 1%; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, to
the extent that at any time (1) the sum of the LIBOR Rate at such time for a one month Interest
Period plus the Applicable Percentage with respect thereto plus one percent is greater than (2) the
greater of the rates specified in subsection (i) and (ii) of this clause (a), then the Alternate
Base Rate for purposes of this clause (a) shall be increased by the difference between (1) and (2);



     (b) in the case of amounts denominated in Euro, the “main refinancing rate” as set by the
European Central Bank in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1% plus the Applicable
Percentage; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent
that at any time (1) the sum of EURIBOR at such time for a one month Interest Period plus the
Applicable Percentage plus one percent is greater than (2) the “main refinancing rate” as set by
the European Central Bank in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1% plus the Applicable
Percentage, then the Alternate Base Rate for purposes of this clause (b) shall be increased by the
difference between (1) and (2);



     (c) in the case of amounts denominated in Pounds Sterling, the base rate as set by the
Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1%
plus the Applicable Percentage; provided, however, that notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent that at any time (1) the sum of LIBOR at such time for a one month
Interest Period plus the Applicable Percentage plus one percent is greater than (2) the base rate
as set by the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England in effect on such day plus
1/2 of 1% plus the Applicable Percentage, then the Alternate Base Rate for purposes of this
clause (c) shall be increased by the difference between (1) and (2); and



-2-









 





     (d) in the case of amounts denominated in any other Alternative Currency, the rate determined
by the Administrative Agent, according to comparable financial benchmarks, in its reasonable
discretion on such day.



     For purposes hereof: “Prime Rate” shall mean, at any time, the rate of interest per
annum publicly announced or otherwise identified from time to time by Wachovia at its principal
office in Charlotte, North Carolina as its prime rate. The parties hereto acknowledge that the
rate announced publicly by Wachovia as its Prime Rate is an index or base rate and shall not
necessarily be its lowest or best rate charged to its customers or other banks; and “Federal
Funds Effective Rate” shall mean, for any day, the weighted average of the rates on overnight
federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by federal funds
brokers, as published on the next succeeding Business Day by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
or, if such rate is not so published on the next succeeding Business Day, the average of the
quotations for the day of such transactions received by the Administrative Agent from three (3)
federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by it. If for any reason the Administrative
Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error) that it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate, for any reason, including
the inability or failure of the Administrative Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance
with the terms thereof, the Alternate Base Rate shall be determined without regard to clause
(a)(ii) of the first sentence of this definition, as appropriate, until the circumstances giving
rise to such inability no longer exist. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in
the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, the “main refinancing rate” as set by the
European Central Bank or the base rate as set by the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of
England shall be effective on the opening of business on the date of such change.



     “Alternate Base Rate Loans” shall mean Loans that bear interest at an interest rate
based on the Alternate Base Rate.



     “Alternative Currency” shall mean, at any time, any of Pounds Sterling, Euro and, with
the agreement of each Lender, any other Foreign Currency, so long as, in respect of any such
Foreign Currency, at such time, (a) such Foreign Currency is dealt with in the London interbank
deposit market, (b) such Foreign Currency is freely transferable and convertible into Dollars in
the London foreign exchange market and (c) no central bank or other governmental authorization in
the country of issue of such Foreign Currency (including, in the case of Euro, any authorization by
the European Central Bank) is required to permit use of such Foreign Currency by any Lender for
making a Loan hereunder or to permit the Borrower to borrow and repay the principal thereof and to
pay the interest thereon, unless such authorization has been obtained and is in full force and
effect.



     “Alternative Currency Sub-Limit” shall have the meaning set forth in Section
2.1(a).



     “Applicable Creditor” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 9.19(b).



     “Applicable Law” shall mean for any Person or property of such Person, the
organization and governing documents of such Person, all existing and future applicable laws,
rules, regulations (including temporary and final income tax regulations), statutes, treaties,
codes, ordinances, permits, certificates, executive orders, orders and licenses of and
interpretations by



-3-









 







any Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, usury laws, predatory lending laws,
the Federal Truth in Lending Act, and Regulation Z and Regulation B of the Federal Reserve Board),
and applicable judgments, decrees, injunctions, writs, orders, or line action of any court,
arbitrator or other administrative, judicial, or quasi-judicial tribunal or agency of competent
jurisdiction.



     “Applicable Percentage” shall mean, for Alternate Base Rate Loans, EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate
Loans and LMIR Loans, the percentage set forth below opposite the Initial Borrower’s applicable
senior unsecured debt rating in the column labeled “Alternate Base Rate Loans, EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate
Loans and LMIR Loans” and for the Commitment Fee, the percentage set forth below opposite the
Initial Borrower’s applicable senior unsecured debt rating in the column labeled “Commitment Fee,”
as applicable; provided that if the senior unsecured debt ratings from S&P, Moody’s and
Fitch are different, and (a) two ratings are equal and higher than the third, the higher rating
will apply, (b) two ratings are equal and lower than the third, the lower rating will apply, or (c)
no ratings are equal, the intermediate rating will apply. In the event that the Initial Borrower
shall maintain ratings from only two of Moody’s, Fitch and S&P and the Initial Borrower is
split-rated and (i) the ratings differential is one level, the higher rating will apply, or (ii)
the ratings differential is two levels or more, the rating immediately below the highest rating
will apply. In the event that the Initial Borrower shall maintain ratings from only one of
Moody’s, Fitch and S&P, the one rating shall apply.

     (c) The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used
in this Credit Agreement shall refer to this Credit Agreement as a whole and not to any
particular provision of this Credit Agreement, and Section, subsection, Schedule and Exhibit
references are to this Credit Agreement unless otherwise specified.




     (d) The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by
“without limitation” whether or not they are in fact followed by such words or words of like

     Section 1.5. Currencies Generally.




     (a) At any time, any reference in the definition of the term “Alternative Currency” or
in any other provision of this Credit Agreement to the Currency of any particular nation
means the lawful currency of such nation at such time whether or not the name of such
Currency is the same as it was on the date hereof. For purposes of determining (i) whether
the amount of any Revolving Loan, together with all other Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans
and LOC Obligations outstanding or to be borrowed or issued at the same time as such
Revolving Loan, would exceed the Committed Amount then in effect, (ii) whether the LOC
Obligations exceed the LOC Committed Amount, and (iii) whether any Lender’s Commitment
Percentage of any Revolving Loan (together with its Commitment Percentage of all other
Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and LOC Obligations then outstanding or to be borrowed or
issued at the same time as such Revolving Loan) would exceed the amount of such Lender’s
Commitment, the outstanding principal amount of any Revolving Loan or LOC Obligation that is
denominated in any Alternative Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of such
amount of Alternative Currency determined as of the date of such Revolving Loan or LOC
Obligation. Wherever in this Credit Agreement in connection with a Revolving Loan or LOC
Obligation an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in
Dollars, but such Revolving Loan or LOC Obligation is denominated in any Alternative
Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Foreign Currency Equivalent of such Dollar
amount (rounded to the nearest one thousandth). In addition, for purposes of complying with
any requirement of this Credit Agreement stated in Dollars or calculating any ratio or
other test set forth in this Credit Agreement, the amount of any Revolving Loan and LOC
Obligation that is denominated in any Alternative Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar
Equivalent of such amount of Alternative Currency determined as of the date of such
calculation.




     (b) Each obligation hereunder of any party hereto that is denominated in the National
Currency of a state that is not a Participating Member State on the date hereof shall,
effective from the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State, be
redenominated in Euro in accordance with the legislation of the European Union applicable to
the European Monetary Union; provided that, if and to the extent that any such legislation
provides that any such obligation of any such party payable within such



-40-









 






Participating Member State by crediting an account of the creditor can be paid by the
debtor either in Euro or such National Currency, such party shall be entitled to pay or
repay such amount either in Euro or in such National Currency. If the basis of accrual of
interest or fees expressed in this Credit Agreement with respect to any Alternative Currency
of any country that becomes a Participating Member State after the date on which such
currency becomes an Alternative Currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or
practice in the interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest or fees in respect of
Euro, such convention or practice shall replace such expressed basis effective as of and
from the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State; provided that, with
respect to any Revolving Loan denominated in such currency that is outstanding immediately
prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect at the end of the Interest Period
therefor.




     (c) Without prejudice to the respective liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders and
the Lenders to the Borrower under or pursuant to this Agreement, each provision of this
Credit Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the
Administrative Agent may from time to time, in consultation with the Initial Borrower,
reasonably specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction or changeover
to Euro in any country that becomes a Participating Member State after the date hereof;
provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide the Initial Borrower and each
Lender with prior notice of the proposed change with an explanation of such change in
sufficient time to permit the Initial Borrower and the Lenders an opportunity to respond to
such proposed change.



ARTICLE II




THE LOANS; AMOUNT AND TERMS




     Section 2.1. Revolving Loans.




     (a) Revolving Commitment. Prior to the Commitment Termination Date, subject to
the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans
in Dollars or in any Alternative Currency to the Borrower (“Revolving Loans”) from
time to time for the purposes hereinafter set forth; provided, however, that
(i) with regard to each Lender individually, the sum of such Lender’s share of outstanding
Revolving Loans, plus such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of outstanding Swingline
Loans, plus such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of LOC Obligations shall not exceed
such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate Committed Amount, and (ii) with regard
to the Lenders collectively, the Advances Outstanding shall not exceed the aggregate
Committed Amount then in effect. For purposes hereof, the aggregate amount available
hereunder shall be ONE BILLION AND SEVENTY MILLION DOLLARS ($1,070,000.00) (as such
aggregate maximum amount may be reduced from time to time as provided in Section
2.6, the “Committed Amount”); provided, however, that the
aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans and LOC Obligations in
Alternative Currencies shall not exceed TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($200,000,000)
(“Alternative Currency Sub Limit”). Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars may
consist of Alternate Base Rate Loans or



-41-









 






EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as the Initial Borrower may
request, and may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof.
Revolving Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency may consist of Alternate Base Rate
Loans or EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as the Borrower may request,
and may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any Revolving Loans made on the Closing Date or on either of the two Business
Days immediately following the Closing Date may only consist of Alternate Base Rate Loans
denominated in Dollars. Any Loans denominated in Dollars shall be made by each Lender at
its Domestic Lending Office and any Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency shall be

the requested borrowing in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, and
on the third Business Day prior to the date of the requested borrowing in the case of
EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, and on the fourth Business Day prior to the
date of the requested borrowing in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans or EURIBOR/LIBOR
Rate Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency. Each such request for borrowing shall
be irrevocable and shall specify (A) that a Revolving Loan is requested, (B) the date of the
requested borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the aggregate principal amount to
be borrowed, and (D) whether the borrowing shall be comprised of Alternate Base Rate Loans,
EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans or a combination thereof, the Currency therefor, and if
EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans are requested, the Interest Period(s) therefor. A form of Notice
of Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) is attached as Exhibit A. If the
Borrower shall fail to specify in any such Notice of Borrowing (1) an applicable Interest
Period in the case of a EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan, then such notice shall be deemed to be a
request for an Interest Period of one month, (2) the type of Revolving Loan requested, then
such notice shall be deemed to be a request for an Alternate Base Rate Loan hereunder or (3)
the Currency of the Revolving Loan requested, then such notice shall be deemed to be a
request by the Initial Borrower for an Alternate Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars
hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give notice to each Lender promptly upon receipt
of each Notice of Borrowing, the contents thereof and each such Lender’s share thereof.




          (ii) Minimum Amounts. Each Revolving Loan shall be in a minimum aggregate
amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or the remaining
amount of the Committed Amount, if less).




          (iii) Advances. Each Lender will make its Commitment Percentage of each
Revolving Loan borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
applicable Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section
9.2, or at such other office as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing, upon



-42-









 







reasonable advance notice by 1:00 P.M. on the date specified in the applicable Notice
of Borrowing, in the Currency of such Revolving Loan and in funds immediately available to
the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the applicable
Borrower by the Administrative Agent by crediting the account of the applicable Borrower on
the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the
Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative
Agent.




     (c) Repayment. The principal amount of all Revolving Loans shall be due and
payable in full in the Currency of such Revolving Loan on the Commitment Termination Date.




     (d) Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.9, Revolving
Loans shall bear interest as follows:




          (i) Alternate Base Rate Loans. During such periods as any Revolving Loans
shall be comprised of Alternate Base Rate Loans, each such Alternate Base Rate Loan shall
bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate; and




          (ii) EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans. During such periods as any Revolving Loans
shall be comprised of EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans, each such Loan denominated in (a) any
Currency (other than Euro) shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the sum of the
applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Percentage, and (b) Euro shall bear interest at a
per annum rate equal to the sum of the applicable EURIBOR plus the Applicable Percentage.



     Interest on Revolving Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.




     (e) Revolving Notes. The Borrower’s obligation to pay each Lender’s Revolving
Loans shall be evidenced by a revolving note made payable to such Lender in substantially
the form of Exhibit B, if requested by such Lender (“Revolving Note”). 




     Section 2.2. Intentionally Omitted.



     Section 2.3. Letter of Credit Subfacility.




     (a) Issuance. Subject to Section 2.3(h) and the other terms and
conditions hereof and of the LOC Documents, if any, and any other terms and conditions which
the Issuing Lender may reasonably require, prior to the Commitment Termination Date the
Issuing Lender shall issue, and the Lenders shall participate in, Letters of Credit for the
account of the Borrower from time to time upon request in a form acceptable to the Issuing
Lender; provided, however, that (i) the aggregate amount of the LOC
Obligations shall not at any time exceed ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS
($150,000,000) (the “LOC Committed Amount”), (ii) the Advances Outstanding shall not
at any time exceed the aggregate Committed Amount then in effect, (iii) the Advances
Outstanding in Alternative Currencies shall not exceed the Alternative Currency Sub Limit,
(iv) all Letters of Credit shall be issued in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency



-43-









 






(without limiting the provisions of Section 2.3(h), Letters of Credit issued in
Dollars shall only be issued for the account of the Initial Borrower and Letters of Credit
issued in Alternative Currencies shall be issued for the account of any Borrower) and (v)
Letters of Credit shall be issued for any lawful corporate purposes and may be issued as
standby letters of credit, and trade letters of credit. Except for the Existing Letters of
Credit or as otherwise expressly agreed upon by all the Lenders, no Letter of Credit shall
have an original expiry date more than twelve (12) months from the date of
issuance; provided, however, so long as no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and subject to the other terms and conditions to the issuance of
Letters of Credit hereunder, the expiry dates of Letters of Credit may be extended annually
or periodically from time to time at the request of the applicable Borrower or by operation
of the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit to a date not more than twelve (12) months
from the then current date of expiry; provided, further, that no Letter of
Credit, as originally issued or as extended, shall have an expiry date extending beyond the
date that is one month prior to the Commitment Termination Date. Furthermore, unless
otherwise agreed to by the Issuing Lender, no trade Letter of Credit shall have an expiry
date more than 180 days from the date of issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the
consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender, Letters of Credit may have an
expiry date extending beyond the date that is one month prior to the Commitment Termination
Date provided that the Borrower deposits cash collateral (30 days prior to the Commitment
Termination Date) with the Issuing Lender in an amount equal to 103% of the stated and
undrawn amount of the Letter of Credit and in the Currency in which such Letter of Credit
was issued. Each Letter of Credit shall comply with the related LOC Documents. The
issuance date and expiry date of each Letter of Credit shall be a Business Day. Except for
the Existing Letters of Credit, any Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall be in a minimum
original face amount of $25,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of
this Agreement, the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if
a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under this Section 2.3 exists or any
Lender is at such time an Impacted Lender, unless the Issuing Lender has entered into cash
collateral arrangements or other arrangements with the applicable Borrower or any other
party which are satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its sole and absolute discretion to
eliminate the Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to such Impacted Lender. Any requirement
imposed on the applicable Borrower to provide cash collateral hereunder shall be expressly
permitted, notwithstanding any negative pledge or other restriction elsewhere in this
Agreement or any other Credit Document.




     (b) Notice and Reports. Unless otherwise
agreed to by the Issuing Lender and the applicable
Borrower, the request for the issuance of a standby
Letter of Credit shall be submitted to the Issuing
Lender at least three (3) Business Days prior to the
requested date of issuance, and the request for the
issuance of a trade Letter of Credit shall be
submitted to the Issuing Lender at least one (1)
Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance.
The Issuing Lender will on the date of




-44-











 




well as any payments or expirations which may have occurred. The Issuing Lender will
further provide to the Administrative Agent promptly upon request copies of the Letters of
Credit. The Issuing Lender will provide to the Administrative Agent, and any requesting
Lender, promptly upon request a summary report of the nature and extent of LOC Obligations
then outstanding.




     (c) Participations. Each Lender (other than the Issuing Lender of such Letter
of Credit), upon issuance of any Letter of Credit (or upon such Person becoming a Lender
hereunder), shall be deemed to have purchased without recourse a risk participation from the
Issuing Lender in such Letter of Credit and the obligations arising thereunder and any
collateral relating thereto, in each case in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of
the obligations under such Letter of Credit and shall absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and be obligated to pay to the
Issuing Lender therefor and discharge when due, its Commitment Percentage of the obligations
arising under such Letter of Credit. Without limiting the scope and nature of each Lender’s
participation in any Letter of Credit, to the extent that the Issuing Lender has not been
reimbursed as required hereunder or under any LOC Document, each such Lender shall pay to
the Issuing Lender its Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed drawing in the Currency of
such unreimbursed drawing and in same day funds on the day of notification by the Issuing
Lender of an unreimbursed drawing pursuant to the provisions of subsection (d)
below. The obligation of each Lender to so reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be absolute
and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a Default, an Event of
Default or any other occurrence or event. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or
otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender under any
Letter of Credit, together with interest as hereinafter provided.



     (d) Reimbursement. In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the
Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Initial Borrower and the Administrative Agent. The
Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender on the day of drawing under any Letter of Credit
(either with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan obtained hereunder or otherwise) in the
Currency of such drawing and in same day funds as provided herein or in the LOC Documents.
If the Borrower shall fail to reimburse the Issuing Lender as provided herein, the
unreimbursed amount of such drawing shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the
Alternate Base Rate applicable to the Currency of such drawing plus 2%. Unless the
Borrower shall immediately notify the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent of its
intent to otherwise reimburse the Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
requested a Revolving Loan in the Currency and the amount of the drawing as provided in
subsection (e) below, the proceeds of which will be used to satisfy the
reimbursement obligations. The Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder shall be
absolute and unconditional under all circumstances irrespective of any rights of set-off,
counterclaim or defense to payment the Borrower may claim or have against the Issuing
Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit drawn
upon or any other Person, including without limitation any defense based on any failure of
the Borrower to receive consideration or the legality, validity, regularity or
unenforceability of the Letter of Credit. The Issuing



-45-









 




Lender will promptly notify the other Lenders of the Currency and amount of any
unreimbursed drawing and each Lender shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Issuing Lender, in such Currency and in immediately available funds, the
amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed drawing. Such payment
shall be made on the day such notice is received by such Lender from the Issuing Lender if
such notice is received at or before 2:00 P.M., otherwise such payment shall be made at or
before 12:00 Noon on the Business Day next succeeding the day such notice is received. If
such Lender does not pay such amount to the Issuing Lender in full upon such request, such
Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing
Lender interest on the unpaid amount during the period from the date of such drawing until
such Lender pays such amount to the Issuing Lender in full at a rate per annum equal to (i),
if such unpaid amount is owed in Dollars and paid within two Business Days of such date, the
Federal Funds Effective Rate, and thereafter at a rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate or
(ii) if such unpaid amount is owed in any Alternative Currency, the Alternate Base Rate.
Each Lender’s obligation to make such payment to the Issuing Lender, and the right of the
Issuing Lender to receive the same, shall be absolute and unconditional, shall not be
affected by any circumstance whatsoever and without regard to the termination of this Credit
Agreement or the Commitments hereunder, the existence of a Default or Event of Default or
the acceleration of the Credit Party Obligations hereunder and shall be made without any
offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.




     (e) Repayment with Revolving Loans. On any day on which the Borrower shall
have requested, or been deemed to have requested, a Revolving Loan to reimburse a drawing
under a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Lenders that a
Revolving Loan has been requested or deemed requested in connection with a drawing under a
Letter of Credit, in which case a Revolving Loan borrowing shall be immediately made
comprised entirely of Revolving Loans in the Currency of such drawing and bearing interest
at the Alternate Base Rate applicable to the Currency of such drawing (each such borrowing,
a “Mandatory LOC Borrowing”) pro rata based on each Lender’s
respective Commitment Percentage (determined before giving effect to any termination of the
Commitments pursuant to Section 7.2) and the proceeds thereof shall be paid directly
to the Issuing Lender for application to the respective LOC Obligations. Each Lender hereby
irrevocably agrees to make such Revolving Loans immediately upon any such request or deemed
request on account of each Mandatory LOC Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified
in the preceding sentence and on the same such date (or, in the case of Mandatory LOC
Borrowings in Alternative Currency, on the next Business Day) notwithstanding that
(i) the amount of Mandatory LOC Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for
borrowings of Revolving Loans otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions
specified in Section 3.2 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of
Default then exists, (iv) failure for any such request or deemed request for Revolving Loan
to be made by the time otherwise required in Section 2.1(b), (v) the date of such
Mandatory LOC Borrowing, or (vi) any reduction in the Committed Amount after any such Letter
of Credit may have been drawn upon. In the event that any Mandatory LOC Borrowing cannot
for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation,
as a



-46-









 




result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to
the Borrower), then each such Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith fund (as of the
date the Mandatory LOC Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any
payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) its
Participation Interests in the outstanding LOC Obligations; provided,
further, that in the event any Lender shall fail to fund its Participation Interest
on the day the Mandatory LOC Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, then the amount of
such Lender’s unfunded Participation Interest therein shall bear interest payable by such
Lender to the Issuing Lender upon demand, at the rate equal to (i), if such unfunded
Participation Interest is owed in Dollars and paid within two Business Days of such date,
the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and thereafter at a rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate
or (ii) if such unfunded Participation Interest is owed in any Alternative Currency, the
Alternate Base Rate.




     (f) Modification, Extension. The issuance of any supplement, modification,
amendment, renewal, or extension to any Letter of Credit shall, for purposes hereof, be
treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit hereunder;
provided that such supplement, modification, amendment, renewal or extension shall
not cause the Borrower to pay an additional Fronting Fee on such Letter of Credit except for
any Fronting Fees due with respect to any increase in the stated amount of such Letter of
Credit.



     (g) Letter of Credit Governing Law. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the
Issuing Lender and the Initial Borrower, when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of
the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International
Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of
issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform
Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the
International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance, shall apply to each trade Letter
of Credit.



     (h) Designation of Subsidiaries as Account Parties. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth in this Credit Agreement, including without limitation Section
2.3(a), a Letter of Credit issued hereunder may contain a statement to the effect that
such Letter of Credit is issued for the account of a Subsidiary of the Initial Borrower;
provided that, notwithstanding such statement, the Initial Borrower shall be the
actual account party for all purposes of this Credit Agreement for such Letter of Credit and
such statement shall not affect the Initial Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder
with respect to such Letter of Credit. In no event shall a Letter of Credit be issued for
the account of an SPE Subsidiary in connection with a Securitization Transaction or for the
account of a Bank Subsidiary. Nothing in this Section 2.3(h) shall be construed to
require the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit for the account of a Subsidiary of the
Initial Borrower where the Subsidiary is the actual account party.



     (i) Existing Letters of Credit. The letters of credit previously issued by
Bank of America, N.A. and identified on Schedule 2.3(i) (the “Existing Letters
of Credit”) shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender
pursuant to the Credit



-47-









 




Agreement and shall be expressly subject to all of the terms and conditions of this
Section 2.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Existing
Letters of Credit, the Initial Borrower shall be deemed to be the account party for all
purposes of this Credit Agreement. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be payable with respect
to the Existing Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.5(b) for the period
commencing on the date of this Credit Agreement to the expiry date of the applicable
Existing Letters of Credit. 



Section 2.4. Swingline Loan Subfacility.




     (a) Swingline Commitment. Prior to the Commitment Termination Date, subject to
the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender, in its individual capacity, agrees to
make certain revolving credit loans to the Initial Borrower (each a “Swingline Loan”
and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) for the purposes hereinafter set forth;
provided, however, that (i) the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans
outstanding at any time shall not exceed FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS ($50,000,000) (the
“Swingline Committed Amount”), and (ii) the sum of the Advances Outstanding shall
not exceed the Committed Amount. Swingline Loans hereunder may be repaid and reborrowed in
accordance with the provisions hereof. Swingline Loans shall be made only in Dollars.



     (b) Swingline Loan Borrowings.



          (i) Notice of Borrowing and Disbursement. The Swingline Lender will make
Swingline Loans available to the Initial Borrower on any Business Day upon delivery of a
Notice of Swingline Borrowing by the Initial Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later
than 2:00 P.M. on such Business Day. A form of Notice of Swingline Borrowing (a “Notice
of Swingline Borrowing”) is attached as Exhibit E. Swingline Loan borrowings
hereunder shall be made in minimum amounts of $100,000 and in integral amounts of $100,000
in excess thereof.




          (ii) Repayment of Swingline Loans. Each Swingline Loan borrowing shall be due
and payable upon the earlier of (a) thirty (30) days after the Swingline Loan advance and
(b) the Commitment Termination Date. The Swingline Lender may, at any time, in its sole
discretion, by written notice to the Initial Borrower and the Administrative Agent, demand
repayment of its Swingline Loans by way of a Revolving Loan borrowing, in which case the
Initial Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan borrowing denominated in
Dollars comprised entirely of Alternate Base Rate Loans in the amount of such Swingline
Loans; provided, however that, in the following circumstances, any such
demand shall also be deemed to have been given one Business Day prior to each of (A) the
Commitment Termination Date, (B) the occurrence of any Event of Default described in
Section 7.1(f), (C) acceleration of the Credit Party Obligations hereunder, whether
on account of an Event of Default described in Section 7.1(f) or any other Event of
Default, and (D) the exercise of remedies in accordance with the provisions of Section
7.2 hereof (each such Revolving Loan borrowing made on account of any such deemed
request therefor as provided herein being hereinafter referred to as “Mandatory
Swingline Borrowing”). Each Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to



-48-









 






make such Revolving Loans promptly upon any such request or deemed request on account
of each Mandatory Swingline Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the
preceding sentence and on the same such date notwithstanding (1) the amount of Mandatory
Swingline Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for borrowings of Revolving Loans
otherwise required hereunder, (2) whether any conditions specified in Section 3.2
are then satisfied, (3) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (4) failure of
any such request or deemed request for Revolving Loans to be made by the time otherwise
required in Section 2.1(b)(i), (5) the date of such Mandatory Swingline Borrowing,
or (6) any reduction in the Committed Amount or termination of the Commitments immediately
prior to such Mandatory Swingline Borrowing or contemporaneously therewith. In the event
that any Mandatory Swingline Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise
required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a
proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code), then each Lender hereby agrees that it shall
forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Swingline Borrowing would otherwise have
occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Initial Borrower on or after such
date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in the
outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause each such Lender to share in such
Swingline Loans ratably based upon its respective Commitment Percentage (determined before
giving effect to any termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 7.2);
provided that (x) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of
the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is purchased,
and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually
made, the purchasing Lender shall be required to pay to the Swingline Lender interest on the
principal amount of such participation purchased for each day from and including the day
upon which the Mandatory Swingline Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding
the date of payment for such participation, at the rate equal to, if paid within two
Business Days of the date of the Mandatory Swingline Borrowing, the Federal Funds Effective
Rate, and thereafter at a rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate.




     (c) Interest on Swingline Loans. Subject to the provisions of Section
2.9(b), Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR
Market Index Rate plus the Applicable Percentage. Interest on Swingline Loans shall
be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.



     (d) Swingline Note. The Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by a duly executed
promissory note of the Initial Borrower to the Swingline Lender in the original amount of
the Swingline Committed Amount and substantially in the form of Exhibit F.


Section 2.5. Fees.




     (a) Commitment Fee. In consideration of the Commitment, the Borrower agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a commitment fee
(the “Commitment Fee”) in an amount equal to the Applicable Percentage per annum on
the average daily unused amount of the Committed Amount during the calendar quarter for
which such fee is payable. For purposes of computation of the Commitment Fee, LOC
Obligations shall be considered usage, but Swingline



-49-









 




Loans shall not be considered usage, of the Committed Amount. The Commitment Fee shall
be payable quarterly in arrears not later than five (5) Business Days following the last day
of each calendar quarter for the prior calendar quarter.




     (b) Letter of Credit Fees. In consideration of the LOC Commitments, the
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders
(including the Issuing Lender) a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the
Applicable Percentage for EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans per annum on the average daily maximum
amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit from the date of issuance to the
date of expiration. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears not
later than five (5) Business Days following the last day of each calendar quarter for the
prior calendar quarter. In addition to the Letter of Credit Fee, the Borrower agrees to pay
to the Issuing Lender, for its own account, a fronting fee (the “Fronting Fee”)
equal to the greater of (i) one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the face amount of each
Letter of Credit when issued, or (ii) $250. The Fronting Fee shall be payable quarterly in
arrears not later than five (5) Business Days following the last day of each calendar
quarter for the prior calendar quarter.



     (c) Issuing Lender Fees. In addition to the Letter of Credit Fees and Fronting
Fee payable pursuant to subsection (b) above, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing
Lender for its own account the reasonable and customary charges from time to time of the
Issuing Lender with respect to the amendment, transfer, administration, cancellation and
conversion of, and drawings under, such Letters of Credit (collectively, the “Issuing
Lender Fees”).



     (d) Administrative Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent, for its own account, an annual administrative fee of $35,000, due and payable
quarterly, in advance, commencing on the Closing Date until the Commitments have been
terminated and the Credit Party Obligations have been paid in full.



     (e) No Duplication. The fees payable under this Section 2.5 shall be
owed and payable by the Initial Borrower; provided that if there is more than one Borrower
hereunder and each has any LOC Obligations outstanding, the fees payable in subsections
(b) and (c) above shall be payable by the Borrower that is the actual account
party.


Section 2.6. Commitment Reductions.




     (a) Voluntary Reductions.



          (i) The Initial Borrower shall have the right to terminate or permanently reduce the
unused portion of the Committed Amount or the Alternative Currency Sub Limit at any time or
from time to time upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ (or four (4) Business Days in
the case of the Alternative Currency Sub Limit) prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent (which shall notify the Lenders thereof as soon as practicable) of such termination or
reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such
reduction which shall be in a minimum amount of (except in connection with any reduction
permitted under Section 




-50-









 







5.21) $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall
be irrevocable and effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent; provided that
no such reduction or termination shall be permitted if after giving effect thereto, and to
any prepayments of the Revolving Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Advances
Outstanding would exceed the aggregate Committed Amount and/or the Alternative Currency Sub
Limit then in effect; provided, further that, in the case of the proposed
reduction or termination of the Alternative Currency Sub Limit, no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such proposed reduction or
termination or would result from such reduction or termination.




          (ii) CSF shall have the right to terminate its rights as a Borrower with respect to the
Commitment and LOC Commitment hereunder at any time or from time to time upon not less than
three (3) Business Days’ (or four (4) Business Days’ in the case of the Alternative Currency
Sub Limit) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall notify the Lenders
thereof as soon as practicable) of such termination, which notice shall specify the
effective date thereof and shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt by the
Administrative Agent; provided that (1) all indebtedness (as defined in Section
10.1) that CSF owes to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders in its capacity as a
Borrower has been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (or, in the case of Letters of Credit of
which CSF is the actual account party, each such Letter of Credit has been cash
collateralized in an amount equal to 103% of the stated and undrawn amount of such Letter of
Credit and in the Currency in which such Letter of Credit was issued and otherwise on terms
and conditions satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender), and (2) no Default or Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such termination pursuant to
this Section 2.6(a) or would result from such termination or the termination of the
Guaranty Agreement.




     (b) Mandatory Reductions.



          (i) The Committed Amount shall be reduced on the date that, without duplication: (1)
Collateral Proceeds are received after December 23, 2008, by an amount equal to 75% of such
Collateral Proceeds; (2) cash proceeds from any Debt Issuance are received after December
23, 2008, by an amount equal to 75% of such proceeds; or (3) cash proceeds from any Equity
Issuance are received after December 23, 2008, by an amount equal to 25% of such proceeds;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committed Amount
shall only be reduced in increments of $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount that is equal to
the then Committed Amount), so that the Committed Amount shall not be reduced until the
aggregate amount of all of the proceeds required to be applied to reduce the Committed
Amount pursuant to clauses (1), (2) and (3) above equals $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount
that is equal to the then Committed Amount) and, after such reduction, the Committed Amount
would not be reduced again until the aggregate amount of all proceeds required to be applied
to reduce the Committed Amount pursuant to clauses (1), (2) and (3) above (and not
previously applied to reduce the Committed Amount) equals $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount
that is equal to the then Committed Amount).




-51-









 








          (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Committed Amount
(to the extent not reduced to the following amounts prior to the following respective dates
pursuant to clauses (b) (1), (2) or (3) above) shall automatically be reduced without the
act of any party to: (1) $1,000,000,000 on March 31, 2009; (2) $900,000,000 on June 30,
2009; and (3) $700,000,000 on December 31, 2009.




          (iii) For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that the Advances Outstanding shall
exceed the aggregate Committed Amount as a result of any such reduction pursuant to
Sections 2.6(b)(1), (2), or (3), or Section 2.6(c) the
Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within (3) three Business Days) prepay the
Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans and (after all Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans have
been repaid) cash collateralize the LOC Obligations in an amount sufficient to eliminate
such excess in each case as provided in Section 2.7(b).




     (c) Commitment Termination Date. The Commitment, the Swingline Commitment and
the LOC Commitment shall automatically terminate on the Commitment Termination Date.


Section 2.7. Prepayments.




     (a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans in
whole or in part from time to time; provided, however, that each partial
prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of (except in
connection with any prepayment made pursuant to Section 5.21) $1,000,000 and
integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, and each partial prepayment of a Swingline
Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $100,000
in excess thereof. The Borrower shall give irrevocable notice of such prepayment in writing
to the Administrative Agent (which shall notify the Lenders thereof as soon as practicable),
which notice shall be at least: (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of
prepayment in the case of EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (ii) one (1)
Business Day prior to the proposed date of prepayment of Alternate Base Rate Loans
denominated in Dollars, and (iii) four (4) Business Days prior to the proposed date of
prepayment of Alternate Base Rate Loans and/or EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in any
Alternative Currency. Amounts prepaid under this Section 2.7(a) shall be applied to
the outstanding Loans as the Borrower may elect; provided, that each Lender shall
receive its pro rata share of any such prepayment based on its Commitment
Percentage. All prepayments under this Section 2.7(a) shall be subject to
Section 2.17, but otherwise without premium or penalty. Interest on the principal
amount prepaid shall be payable on the next occurring Interest Payment Date that would have
occurred had such Loan not been prepaid or, at the request of the Administrative Agent,
interest on the principal amount prepaid shall be due and payable on any date that a
prepayment is made hereunder through the date of prepayment. Amounts prepaid on the
Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans may be reborrowed in accordance with the terms hereof.



     (b) Mandatory Prepayments.



-52-









 






     (i) Committed Amount. If at any time after the Closing Date, the Advances
Outstanding shall exceed the aggregate Committed Amount then in effect, the Borrower
immediately shall prepay the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans and (after all Revolving
Loans and Swingline Loans have been repaid) cash collateralize the LOC Obligations in an
amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this
Section 2.7(b)(i) shall be paid and applied as follows: (A) first to the
payment of outstanding Swingline Loans, (B), second, to the payment of outstanding
Revolving Loans in the Currency in which such loans are owed; and (C) third, to a
cash collateral account in respect of LOC Obligations in the Currency in which such LOC
Obligations were issued. All prepayments under this Section 2.7(b)(i) shall be
subject to Section 2.17 and be accompanied by interest on the principal amount
prepaid through the date of prepayment.




     (ii) If at any time after the Closing Date, the aggregate principal amount of all
outstanding Revolving Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency plus all
outstanding LOC Obligations denominated in any Alternative Currency shall exceed 105% of the
aggregate Alternative Currency Sub-Limit, the Borrower immediately shall prepay such
Alternative Currency Revolving Loans and (after all such Revolving Loans have been repaid)
cash collateralize such LOC Obligations in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.
All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.7(b)(ii) shall be paid
and applied as follows: (A) first, to the payment of outstanding Revolving Loans in
the Currency in which such loans are owed; and (B) second, to a cash collateral
account in respect of LOC Obligations in the Currency in which such LOC Obligations were
issued. All prepayments under this Section 2.7(b)(ii) shall be subject to
Section 2.17 and be accompanied by interest on the principal amount prepaid through
the date of prepayment. For purposes of the calculations set forth in this Section
2.7(b)(ii), Revolving Loans and LOC Obligations denominated in Alternative Currencies
shall be redenominated in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof.




Section 2.8. Minimum Principal Amounts.



     All borrowings, payments and prepayments in respect of Revolving Loans shall be in such
amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that after giving effect thereto the aggregate
principal amount of the Revolving Loans comprising any borrowing shall be $1,000,000 or a whole
multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.




Section 2.9. Default Rate and Payment Dates.




     (a) If (i) all or a portion of the principal amount of any EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan
shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise),
such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is equal to the rate that
would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2%, until the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto and thereafter the unpaid portion of such Revolving Loan shall, if such
Revolving Loan is not denominated in Dollars, automatically be redenominated in Dollars on
the last day of such Interest Period in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof on
the date of such redenomination and such overdue amount shall



-53-









 






bear interest at a rate per annum which is equal to the Alternate Base Rate applicable
to Dollars plus 2% (the “ABR Default Rate”), (ii) all or a portion of the
principal amount of any Alternate Base Rate Loan shall not be paid when due (whether at the
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a
rate per annum which is equal to the ABR Default Rate, (iii) if any interest payable on the
principal amount of any Loan shall not be paid when due (after the applicable grace period),
such overdue amount, if such Loan is not denominated in Dollars, shall automatically be
redenominated in Dollars on the due date therefor in an amount equal to the Dollar
Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination and such overdue amount shall bear
interest at a rate per annum which is equal to the ABR Default Rate, and (iv) if any fee or
other amount shall not be paid when due, such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate
per annum which is equal to the ABR Default Rate, in each case noted above from the date of
such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).




     (b) Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any other Event of Default
hereunder, the principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, interest on the Loans and
any other amounts owing hereunder shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a per annum
rate which is (A) in the case of principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable
thereto, plus 2%, or (B) in the case of interest, fees or other amounts, the
Alternate Base Rate applicable to the Currency of such Loan plus 2% (after as well
as before judgment). The Required Lenders shall have the right to revoke the imposition of
any default interest imposed under this Section 2.9(b).




     (c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date;
provided that interest accruing pursuant to subsection (b) of this
Section 2.9 shall be payable from time to time on demand.



     Section 2.10. Conversion Options.




     (a) The Borrower may, in the case of Revolving Loans elect from time to time to convert
Alternate Base Rate Loans to EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at
least: (i) three (3) Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice of such election in the
case of Loans denominated in Dollars and (ii) at least four (4) Business Days’ prior
irrevocable written notice of such election in the case of Loans denominated in any
Alternative Currency. In addition, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert
EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans to Alternate Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent
irrevocable written notice by 11:00 A.M. one Business Day prior to the proposed date of
conversion. A form of Notice of Conversion is attached as Exhibit C (the
“Notice of Conversion”). If the date upon which an Alternate Base Rate Loan is to
be converted to a EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan is not a Business Day, then such conversion shall
be made on the next succeeding Business Day. All or any part of outstanding Alternate Base
Rate Loans may be converted as provided herein; provided that (i) no Loan may be
converted into a EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, and (ii) partial conversions shall be in an aggregate principal amount of
$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans may
only be converted to Alternate Base Rate



-54-









 






Loans on the last day of the applicable Interest Period. If the date upon which a
EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan is to be converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan is not a Business
Day, then such conversion shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and during the
period from such last day of an Interest Period to such succeeding Business Day such Loan
shall bear interest as if it were an Alternate Base Rate Loan.




     (b) Any EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of an
Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving the Administrative Agent at
least four (4) Business Days prior irrevocable notice of such election (or the Initial
Borrower giving the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior irrevocable
written notice of such election in the case of EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in
Dollars); provided, that no EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such when
any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case such Loan
shall be automatically converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable
Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower shall fail to give timely notice of
an election to continue any EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan, or the continuation of any
EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan is not permitted hereunder, such EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan shall be
automatically converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest
Period with respect thereto.



     Section 2.11. Computation of Interest and Fees.




     (a) Interest payable hereunder with respect to any Alternate Base Rate Loan based on
the Prime Rate or any Alternative Currency borrowing denominated in Pounds Sterling shall be
calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual
days elapsed. Subject to the foregoing, all fees, interest and all other amounts payable
hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed.
The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Initial Borrower and the
Lenders of each determination of EURIBOR and a LIBOR Rate on the Business Day of the
determination thereof. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in
the Alternate Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on
which such change in the Alternate Base Rate shall become effective. The Administrative
Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Initial Borrower and the Lenders of the
effective date and the amount of each such change.




     (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any
provision of this Credit Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the
Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of
the Initial Borrower, deliver to the Initial Borrower a statement showing the computations
used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate.




     (c) It is the intent of the Lenders and the Credit Parties to conform to and contract
in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. All agreements
between the Lenders and the Credit Parties are hereby limited by the provisions of this
paragraph which shall override and control all such agreements,



-55-









 






whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral. In no way, nor
in any event or contingency (including but not limited to prepayment or acceleration of the
maturity of any Loan), shall the interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, or
received under this Credit Agreement, under the Notes or otherwise, exceed the maximum
nonusurious amount permissible under Applicable Law. If, from any possible construction of
this Credit Agreement or any other document, interest would otherwise be payable in excess
of the maximum nonusurious amount, any such construction shall be subject to the provisions
of this paragraph and such interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum
nonusurious amount permitted under Applicable Law, without the necessity of execution of any
amendment or new document. If any Lender shall ever receive anything of value which is
characterized as interest on the Loans under Applicable Law and which would, apart from this
provision, be in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount, an amount equal to the amount
which would have been excessive interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction
of the principal amount owing on the Loans and not to the payment of interest, or refunded
to the Borrower or the other payor thereof if and to the extent such amount which would have
been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal amount of the Loans. The right to demand
payment of the Loans or any other amount required to be paid hereunder does not include the
right to receive any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such demand,
and the Lenders do not intend to charge or receive any unearned interest in the event of
such demand. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders with respect to the
Loans shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated,
and spread throughout the full stated term (including any renewal or extension) of the Loans
so that the amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum
nonusurious amount permitted by Applicable Law.



     Section 2.12. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.




     (a) Allocation of Payments Before Event of Default. Each borrowing of
Revolving Loans and any reduction of the Commitments shall be made pro rata
according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders. Each payment under this
Credit Agreement or any Note shall be applied, first, to any fees then due and owing
by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.5, second, to interest then due and
owing hereunder and under the Notes and, third, to principal then due and owing
hereunder and under the Notes. Each payment on account of any fees pursuant to Section
2.5 shall be made pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts due
and owing (except as to the Fronting Fees and the Issuing Lender Fees). Each optional
prepayment on account of principal of the Loans shall be applied in accordance with
Section 2.7(a); provided, that prepayments made pursuant to Section
2.15 shall be applied in accordance with such Section. Each mandatory prepayment on
account of principal of the Loans shall be applied in accordance with Section
2.7(b). All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower on account of
principal, interest and fees shall be made without defense, set-off or counterclaim (except
as provided in Section 2.18(b)) and shall be made to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s office specified on Section
9.2 in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 P.M. on the date when due. All
amounts owing under this Credit Agreement are payable



-56-









 






in Dollars; provided, however, that the principal of, and interest on,
any Revolving Loan denominated in any Alternative Currency (except as otherwise provided in
Section 2.9), breakage costs relating to, and participations in, and reimbursements
of drawings under Letters of Credit denominated in, any Alternative Currency, shall only be
payable in such Alternative Currency. In addition, the cash collateralization of outstanding
Letters of Credit denominated in any Alternative Currency (when required under this Credit
Agreement) shall be in such Alternative Currency. The Administrative Agent shall distribute
such payments to the Lenders entitled thereto promptly upon receipt in like funds as
received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans)
becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended
to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest
thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment
on a EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day,
the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result
of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which
event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.




     (b) Allocation of Payments After Exercise of Remedies. Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Credit Agreement to the contrary, after the Commitments shall have
been terminated and the Loans and all other amounts under the Credit Documents shall have
become due and payable in accordance with the terms of Section 7.2 hereof, all
amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of the
Credit Party Obligations or any other amounts outstanding under any of the Credit Documents
or in respect of the Collateral shall be paid over or delivered as follows:




     FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees) of the Administrative Agent
in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lenders under the Credit Documents and any
protective advances made by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral under or
pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents;




     SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to the Administrative Agent;




     THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees) of each of the Lenders in
connection with enforcing its rights under the Credit Documents or otherwise with respect to
the Credit Party Obligations owing to such Lender;




     FOURTH, to the payment of all accrued fees and interest;




     FIFTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and the payment
or cash collateralization of the outstanding LOC Obligations;




     SIXTH, to all other Credit Party Obligations and other obligations due and payable
hereunder or otherwise and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “FIFTH” above; and



-57-









 






     SEVENTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever may be lawfully entitled to
receive such surplus.


In carrying out the foregoing: (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order
provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category; (ii) each of the
Lenders shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the
proportion of the then outstanding Loans and LOC Obligations held by such Lender) of amounts
available to be applied pursuant to clauses ”THIRD,” “FOURTH,” “FIFTH” and “SIXTH” above; and
(iii) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “FIFTH” above
are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts
shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account and applied (A) first, to
reimburse the Issuing Lender from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit, and
(B) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the types
described in clauses “FIFTH” and “SIXTH” above in the manner provided in this Section
2.12(b).





Section 2.13. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.




     (a) Except as provided in Section 2.13(d), unless the Administrative Agent
shall have been notified in writing by a Lender prior to the date a Loan is to be made by
such Lender (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend
to make the proceeds of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender has made such proceeds available to the Administrative
Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but
shall not be required to) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such
corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent shall be able to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender.
If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative
Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Initial Borrower,
and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the
Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day
from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to
the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent
at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate for the applicable
borrowing pursuant to the Notice of Borrowing, and (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds
Effective Rate with respect to Loans denominated in Dollars and at the Alternative Base Rate
with respect to Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency.




     (b) Except as provided in Section 2.13(d), unless the Administrative Agent
shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower, prior to the date on which any payment
is due from it hereunder (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that the Borrower
does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower
has made such payment when due, and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such
assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to each Lender on such payment date
an amount equal to the portion of such assumed payment to which such Lender is entitled
hereunder, and if the Borrower has not in fact made such



-58-









 






payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, repay to the
Administrative Agent the amount made available to such Lender. If such amount is repaid to
the Administrative Agent on a date after the date such amount was made available to such
Lender, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand interest on such amount
in respect of each day from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative
Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a
per annum rate equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate with respect to Loans denominated
in Dollars and at the Alternative Base Rate with respect to Loans denominated in any
Alternative Currency.




     (c) A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to the Initial Borrower or any
Lender with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.13 shall be conclusive
in the absence of manifest error.




     (d) On the date of any borrowing of a Revolving Loan in any Alternative Currency, the
Administrative Agent shall make available to the applicable Borrower the proceeds of such
borrowing only upon actual receipt by the Administrative Agent from each Lender of such
Lender’s pro rata portion of such borrowing in such Alternative Currency.
On the date that any payment of the principal of or interest on any Revolving Loan
denominated in any Alternative Currency is due, the Administrative Agent shall make
available to each Lender such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment only
upon actual receipt by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower of such payment.



     Section 2.14. Inability to Determine Interest Rate.



     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Credit Agreement, if (a) the Administrative Agent
shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest
error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, reasonable and adequate
means do not exist for ascertaining EURIBOR and/or LIBOR for any Currency for any Interest Period,
or (b) the Required Lenders shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and
binding absent manifest error) that EURIBOR and/or the LIBOR Rate does not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans that the Borrower has
requested during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give telephone
notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Initial Borrower, and the Lenders at
least two Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period. Unless the Initial
Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent upon receipt of such telephone notice that it
wishes to rescind or modify the request regarding such EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans, any Loans that
were requested to be made as EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made as Alternate Base Rate Loans in
the applicable Currency and any Loans that were requested to be converted into or continued as
EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans shall remain as or be converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans in the
applicable Currency. Until any such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no
further Loans shall be made as, continued as, or converted into, EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans for the
Interest Periods so affected.



     Section 2.15. Illegality.



-59-









 






     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Credit Agreement, if the adoption of or any change
in any requirement of Applicable Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by the
relevant Governmental Authority to any Lender shall make it unlawful for such Lender or its
EURIBOR/LIBOR Lending Office to make or maintain EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans in any Currency as
contemplated by this Credit Agreement or to obtain in the interbank eurodollar market through its
EURIBOR/LIBOR Lending Office the funds with which to make such Loans, (a) such Lender shall
promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Initial Borrower thereof, (b) the commitment of
such Lender hereunder to make or continue EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans in such Currency shall forthwith
be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall give notice that the condition or situation which
gave rise to the suspension shall no longer exist, and (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as
EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans, if any, shall be converted on the last day of the Interest Period for
such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law as Alternate Base Rate Loans. The
Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay any Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender for actual and direct costs (but not including anticipated
profits) reasonably incurred by such Lender in making any repayment in accordance with this
Section 2.15 including, but not limited to, any interest or fees payable by such Lender to
lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans
hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section
2.15 submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Initial Borrower shall
be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts
(including reasonable efforts to change its EURIBOR/LIBOR Lending Office) to avoid or to minimize
any amounts which may otherwise be payable pursuant to this Section 2.15; provided,
however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional
costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender to be material.



     Section 2.16. Requirements of Law.




     (a) If the adoption of or any change in any requirement of Applicable Law or in the
interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:




          (i) shall subject such Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any
Letter of Credit, any participation therein or any application relating thereto, any
EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such
Lender in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income
of such Lender);




          (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory
loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for
the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition
of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination
of EURIBOR or the LIBOR Rate hereunder; or




          (iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;



-60-









 




and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans or the Letters of Credit or the participations therein or to
reduce any amount receivable hereunder or under any Note, then, in any such case, the Borrower
shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate
such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which such Lender reasonably
deems to be material as determined by such Lender with respect to its EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans or
Letters of Credit.





     (b) Without prejudice to paragraph (a) (but without double-counting), if and so long as
any Lender is required by (i) the Bank of England or any other monetary or other authority
of the United Kingdom or (ii) the European Central Bank to make special deposits, to
maintain reserve asset ratios or to pay fees, in each case in respect of such Lender’s
EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans, such Lender may require the Borrower to pay, contemporaneously
with each payment of interest on each of such Loans, additional interest on such Loan at a
rate per annum equal to the Mandatory Cost Rate.




     (c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section
2.16 submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Initial Borrower
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable
efforts (including reasonable efforts to change its Domestic Lending Office or EURIBOR/LIBOR
Lending Office, as the case may be) to avoid or to minimize any amounts which might
otherwise be payable pursuant to this paragraph of this Section 2.16;
provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such
Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender to be
material.




     (d) If any Lender shall have reasonably determined that the adoption of or any change
in any requirement of Applicable Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or
application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender
with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of
law) from any central bank or Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof does
or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such
corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that
which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or
compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with
respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material,
then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender, the Borrower
shall pay to such Lender such additional amount as shall be certified by such Lender as
being required to compensate it for such reduction. Such a certificate as to any additional
amounts payable under this Section 2.16 submitted by a Lender (which certificate
shall include a description of the basis for the computation), through the Administrative
Agent, to the Initial Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.




     (e) The agreements in this Section 2.16 shall survive the termination of this
Credit Agreement and payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.



-61-









 





     Section 2.17. Indemnity.



     The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold such Lender harmless from any
funding loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) the failure
by the Borrower to pay the principal amount of or interest on any Loan by such Lender in accordance
with the terms hereof, (b) the failure of the Borrower to accept a borrowing after the Borrower has
given a notice in accordance with the terms hereof, (c) the failure of the Borrower to make any
prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice in accordance with the terms hereof, and/or (d)
the making by the Borrower of a prepayment of a Loan, or the conversion thereof, on a day which is
not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, in each case including, but not
limited to, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to
lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Loans hereunder. In addition, the Borrower
agrees to indemnify and hold each Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense which such Lender
may sustain or incur as a result or consequence of (a) the payment of any LOC Obligation
denominated in Alternative Currency on a date other than the due date thereof or (b) the payment of
any Credit Party Obligation denominated in Alternative Currency in a different Currency. A
certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.17 submitted by
any Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Initial Borrower (which certificate must be
delivered to the Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days following such default, prepayment or
conversion) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in this
Section 2.17 shall survive termination of this Credit Agreement and payment of the Notes
and all other amounts payable hereunder.



     Section 2.18. Taxes.




     (a) All payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under any Note will be, except as
provided in Section 2.18(b), made free and clear of, and without deduction or
withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or
other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any Governmental Authority or
by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such
payments (but excluding any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or profits of a
Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or the jurisdiction
in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or any
subdivision thereof or therein) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with
respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or
other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so
levied or imposed, the Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such
additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this
Credit Agreement or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any
Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note. The Borrower
will furnish to the Administrative Agent as soon as practicable after the date the payment
of any Taxes is due pursuant to Applicable Law certified copies (to the extent reasonably
available and required by law) of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Borrower. The
Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon
its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such
Lender.



-62-









 






     (b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code) agrees to deliver to the Initial Borrower and the Administrative
Agent on or prior to the Closing Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or
transferee of an interest under this Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 9.6(c)
(unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such
assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (i) if
the Lender is a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, two accurate
and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or
W-8IMY (or successor forms) certifying such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption
from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Credit
Agreement and under any Note, or (ii) if the Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8IMY as
set forth in clause (i) above, or (A) a certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit L (any such certificate, a “2.18 Certificate”), and (B) two accurate
and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor
form) certifying such Lender’s entitlement to an exemption from United States withholding
tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Credit Agreement and under
any Note. In addition, each Lender agrees that it will deliver upon the Initial Borrower’s
request updated versions of the foregoing, as applicable, whenever the previous
certification has become obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, together with such
other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such
Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with
respect to payments under this Credit Agreement and any Note. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in Section 2.18(a), but subject to the immediately succeeding
sentence, (1) the Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law,
to deduct or withhold Taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder
for the account of any Lender which is not a United States person (as such term is defined
in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent that
such Lender has not provided to the Initial Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms
that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding, and (2) the Borrower
shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 2.18(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be
made to a Lender in respect of Taxes imposed by the United States if (I) such Lender has not
provided to the Initial Borrower the Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be provided
to the Initial Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.18(b), or (II) in the case of a
payment, other than interest, to a Lender described in clause (ii) above, to the
extent that such Forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such Taxes.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere
in this Section 2.18, the Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and to indemnify
each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 2.18(a) (without regard to the
identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any
amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence as a
result of any changes after the Closing Date in any Applicable Law, treaty, governmental
rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the
deducting or withholding of Taxes.



-63-









 






     (c) Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to
change its Domestic Lending Office or EURIBOR/LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be) to
avoid or to minimize any amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to this
Section 2.18; provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause
the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed
by such Lender in its sole discretion to be material.




     (d) If the Borrower pays any additional amount pursuant to this Section 2.18
with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to obtain a refund of tax
or credit against its tax liabilities on account of such payment; provided that such
Lender shall have no obligation to use such reasonable efforts if either (i) it is in an
excess foreign tax credit position, or (ii) it believes in good faith, in its sole
discretion, that claiming a refund or credit would cause adverse tax consequences to it. In
the event that such Lender receives such a refund or credit, such Lender shall pay to the
Initial Borrower an amount that such Lender reasonably determines is equal to the net tax
benefit obtained by such Lender as a result of such payment by the Borrower. In the event
that no refund or credit is obtained with respect to the Borrower’s payments to such Lender
pursuant to this Section 2.18, then such Lender shall upon request provide a
certification that such Lender has not received a refund or credit for such payments.
Nothing contained in this Section 2.18 shall require a Lender to disclose or detail
the basis of its calculation of the amount of any tax benefit or any other amount or the
basis of its determination referred to in the proviso to the first sentence of this
Section 2.18 to the Borrower or any other party.




     (e) The agreements in this Section 2.18 shall survive the termination of this
Credit Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.




Section 2.19. Indemnification; Nature of Issuing Lender’s Duties.




     (a) In addition to its other obligations under Section 2.3, the Borrower hereby
agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save the Issuing Lender and each Lender harmless from
and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that the Issuing Lender or such Lender may
incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any
Letter of Credit, or (ii) the failure of the Issuing Lender to honor a drawing under a
Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any
present or future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority (all such acts or
omissions, herein called “Government Acts”).




     (b) As between the Borrower and the Issuing Lender and each Lender, the Borrower
shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit by
the beneficiary thereof. Neither the Issuing Lender nor any Lender shall be
responsible: (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or
legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the
application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact
prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or
forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or
assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of




-64-












 






Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that
may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary
of a Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon a
Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or
delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they
be in cipher; (v) for errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) for any loss or
delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing
under a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; and (vii) for any consequences arising
from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender or any Lender, including, without
limitation, any Government Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the
vesting of the Issuing Lender’s rights or powers hereunder.




     (c) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions
hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender or any Lender,
under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related certificates, if taken or
omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not put such Issuing
Lender or such Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrower. It is the intention of
the parties that this Credit Agreement shall be construed and applied to protect and
indemnify the Issuing Lender and each Lender against any and all risks involved in the
issuance of the Letters of Credit, all of which risks are hereby assumed by the Borrower,
including, without limitation, any and all risks of the acts or omissions, whether rightful
or wrongful, of any Government Authority. The Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall not, in
any way, be liable for any failure by the Issuing Lender or anyone else to pay any drawing
under any Letter of Credit as a result of any Government Acts or any other cause beyond the
control of the Issuing Lender and the Lenders.




     (d) Nothing in this Section 2.19 is intended to limit the reimbursement
obligation of the Borrower contained in Section 2.3(d) hereof. The obligations of
the Borrower under this Section 2.19 shall survive the termination of this Credit
Agreement. No act or omissions of any current or prior beneficiary of a Letter of Credit
shall in any way affect or impair the rights of the Issuing Lender and the Lenders to
enforce any right, power or benefit under this Credit Agreement.




     (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.19,
the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Issuing Lender or any Lenders in
respect of any liability incurred by the Issuing Lender or such Lender arising out of the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender (including action not taken by
the Issuing Lender or such Lender), as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or
pursuant to arbitration.



     Section 2.20. Extension of Commitment Termination Date.



     Prior to the two year anniversary of the Closing Date, Initial Borrower may extend the
Commitment Termination Date to a date that is not later than twelve (12) months after the
then-effective Commitment Termination Date, no more than one time, upon: (a) delivery of a Facility
Extension Request in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M (the “Facility Extension
Request”) to Administrative Agent; (b) payment to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders of a



-65-









 







facility extension fee equal to twenty basis points (0.20%) on the then-existing Committed Amount
(i.e., 0.20% times the Committed Amount); and (c) payment by Borrower of all fees and expenses to
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to the extent then due. Such extension shall be evidenced by
delivery of written confirmation of the same by Administrative Agent to Initial Borrower;
provided, that:




          (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and




          (ii) the representations and warranties contained in this Credit Agreement shall be
true and correct on and as of the Facility Extension Request as if made on and as of such
date (or, if any such representation and warranty is expressly stated to have been made as
of a specific date, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such
specific date).



     Section 2.21. Replacement of Lenders.



     If Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to Section
2.16 or Section 2.18, then Initial Borrower may within sixty (60) days thereafter
designate another bank or financial institution which is acceptable to Agent in its reasonable
discretion (such other bank or financial institution being called a “Replacement Lender”)
to purchase the Loans of such Lender and such Lender’s rights hereunder, without recourse to or
warranty by, or expense to, such Lender, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal
amount of the Loans payable to such Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Loans and
all accrued but unpaid fees owed to such Lender and any other amounts payable to such Lender under
this Credit Agreement (all such amounts shall only be payable in the Currency in which they are
owed under this Agreement), and to assume all the obligations of such Lender hereunder, and, upon
such purchase and assumption (pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement), such Lender shall no
longer be a party hereto or have any rights hereunder (other than rights with respect to
indemnities and similar rights applicable to such Lender prior to the date of such purchase and
assumption) and shall be relieved from all obligations to Borrower hereunder, and the Replacement
Lender shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder. Nothing in this
Section 2.21 shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligation to pay additional

covered thereby in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Security Agreement),
(ii) a joinder to the Pledge Agreement and appropriate certificates and powers or financing
statements, as applicable, hypothecating the Collateral of such Guarantor covered by the

     Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact, Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or
omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Credit Agreement (except
for its or such Person’s own gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct), or (b) responsible in
any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made
by any Credit Party or any officer thereof contained in this Credit Agreement 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 Credit Agreement or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of any of the Credit Documents or for any
failure of any Credit Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative
Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the
observance or performance by any Credit Party of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions
of, this Credit Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the any Credit Party.

     Section 8.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent.




     (a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in
relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit,
letter, telecopy, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it in good
faith 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, without limitation,
counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as
the owner thereof for all purposes unless an executed Commitment Transfer Supplement has
been filed with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.6(c) with respect to
the Loans evidenced by such Note. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in
failing or refusing to take any action under this Credit Agreement unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or 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. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in
refraining from acting, under any of the Credit Documents in accordance with a request of
the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as may be required under this Credit Agreement,
and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding
upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Notes.




     (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section
3.1, each Lender that has signed this Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have consented
to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required
thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender.



     Section 8.5. Notice of Default.



     The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of
any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from
a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Credit Agreement, describing such Default or Event of
Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the
Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice
thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders;
provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have
received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such
action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it
shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders except to the extent that this Credit
Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not taken, only with the consent or upon
the authorization of the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders, as the case may be.



-99-









 





     Section 8.6. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.



     Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representation
or warranty to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any
review of the affairs of any Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or
warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative
Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other
condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower or any other Credit Party and made its own decision
to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Credit Agreement. Each Lender also represents that
it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make
its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Credit
Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the
business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower.
Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders
by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business,
operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the
Borrower or any other Credit Party which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent
or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.



     Section 8.7. Indemnification.



     The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, the Issuing
Lender in its capacity as such and the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably
according to their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification
is sought under this Section 8.7, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment
of the Notes or any Reimbursement Obligation) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender in any way relating to or arising
out of any Credit Document or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender under or in connection with any of the foregoing;
provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of
such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements in this Section 8.7 shall
survive the termination of this Credit



-100-









 




Agreement and payment of the Notes, any Reimbursement Obligation and all other amounts payable
hereunder.




     Section 8.8. The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity.



     The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and
generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower as though the Administrative Agent were
not the Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to the Loans made or renewed by it and any
Note issued to it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Credit
Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent,
and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity.



     Section 8.9. Successor Administrative Agent.



     The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ prior
written notice to the Initial Borrower and the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent shall resign
as Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents or if the
Administrative Agent enters or becomes subject to receivership, then the Required Lenders shall
appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders, which successor
agent shall be approved by the Initial Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) so
long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, whereupon such successor
administrative agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent,
and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent effective upon
such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as
Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of
such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Credit Agreement or any holders of
the Notes. If no successor Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent
within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation, the
retiring Administrative Agent shall have the right, on behalf of the Lenders, to appoint a
successor administrative agent, which successor shall be approved by the Initial Borrower (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing; provided, that, such successor administrative agent has minimum
capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. If no successor administrative agent has accepted
appointment as Administrative Agent within sixty (60) days after the retiring Administrative
Agent’s giving notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall
nevertheless become effective and the Lenders shall perform all duties of the Administrative Agent
hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor administrative agent
as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative
Agent, the indemnification provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents and
the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement.



-101-









 





     Section 8.10. Other Agents.



     None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this
Credit Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co—agent,” “book manager,”
“book runner,” “lead manager,” “arranger,” “lead arranger” or “co—arranger” shall have any right
(except as expressly set forth herein), power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under
this Credit Agreement other than, in the case of such Lenders, 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 Credit Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.



     Section 8.11. Collateral Matters.




     (a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its sole
discretion, to release any Collateral or any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the termination
of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrower of all Credit Party
Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations), (ii) that is
permitted to be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of under this Agreement or any other
Credit Document, (iii) that is owned by a Guarantor that is permitted to be released under
this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, or (iv) constituting property in which the
Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries owned no interest at the time the Agent’s
Lien was granted nor at any time thereafter. Upon request by Agent or Borrower at any time,
the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on
particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 8.11; provided, however,
that (1) Agent shall not be required to execute any document necessary to evidence such
release on terms that, in Agent’s reasonable opinion, would expose Agent to liability or
create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without
recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner
discharge, affect, or impair the Credit Party Obligations or any Liens (other than those
expressly being released) upon (or obligations of any Credit Party in respect of) all
interests retained by any Credit Party, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which
shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. Subject to the foregoing proviso,
Agent further agrees that, in connection with any transaction described in the foregoing
clauses (i) — (iv) and as soon as is reasonably practicable after its receipt of a written
request from the Initial Borrower specifying in reasonable detail the Collateral proposed to
be released in connection with such transaction and the basis for such release, it will
execute and deliver to the Initial Borrower (at the Initial Borrower’s sole cost and
expense) such collateral release documentation as the Initial Borrower shall reasonably
request to evidence such release; provided that prior to, and immediately after
giving effect to, such release no Default or Event of Default is in existence.




     (b) The Agent shall not have any obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure
that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Credit Parties or is cared for, protected, or
insured or has been encumbered, or that the Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently
or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are



-102-









 






entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner
or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the
rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent pursuant to any of the Credit
Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act,
omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein,
Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given Agent’s
own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall
have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing, except
as otherwise provided herein.



     Section 8.12. Agency for Perfection. Agent hereby appoints each other Lender as its
agent (and each Lender hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting the Agent’s
Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9 of the applicable Uniform
Commercial Code can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender obtain possession or
control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s
request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Agent or in accordance
with Agent’s instructions.



     Section 8.13. Concerning the Collateral and Related Credit Documents. Each Lender
authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Each
Lender agrees that any action taken by Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the
other Credit Documents relating to the Collateral and the exercise by Agent of its powers set forth
therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be
binding upon all of the Lenders.



ARTICLE IX




MISCELLANEOUS




     Section 9.1. Amendments, Waivers and Release of Collateral.



     Neither this Credit Agreement, nor any of the Notes, nor any of the other Credit Documents,
nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented, waived or modified except in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1 nor may the Borrower or any Guarantor be
released except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1. The Required
Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may,
from time to time, (a) enter into with the Initial Borrower or any other Credit Party written
amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Credit Documents for the purpose
of adding any provisions to this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents or changing in any
manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Borrower or any other Credit Party hereunder or
thereunder, or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders may specify in such
instrument, any of the requirements of this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any
Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such
waiver and no such amendment, waiver, supplement, modification or release shall:




          (i) reduce the amount or extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Note or
any installment thereon, or reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee



-103-









 






payable hereunder (except in connection with a waiver of interest at the increased
post-default rate set forth in Section 2.9(b) which shall be determined by a vote of
the Required Lenders) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof or increase the
amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment (except for the extension of
the Commitment Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.20), in each case without the
written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; or




     (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 9.1 or reduce the
percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, without the written consent of
all the Lenders; or




     (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Article VIII, without the written
consent of the Administrative Agent; or




     (iv) release any Guarantor from the Guaranty hereunder or any guarantor under the
Guaranty Agreement (except as otherwise permitted by Sections 5.9, 5.13 or
5.14), without the written consent of all the Lenders; or




     (v) cancel or forgive any amounts owing hereunder, without the written consent of all
of the Lenders affected thereby; or




     (vi) subordinate the Loans to any other Debt without the written consent of all of the
Lenders; or




     (vii) permit the Borrower to assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under
this Credit Agreement or other Credit Documents without the written consent of all of the
Lenders; or




     (viii) amend, modify or waive any provision of the Credit Documents requiring consent,
approval or request of the Required Lenders or all Lenders without the written consent of
all of the Required Lenders or Lenders as appropriate; or




     (ix) amend, modify or waive the order in which Credit Party Obligations are paid in
Section 2.12(b) without the written consent of each Lender directly affected
thereby; or




     (x) amend or modify the provisions to the Credit Documents to permit the Borrower to
obtain borrowings in currencies other than Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euro, without the
written consent of all the Lenders affected thereby; or




     (xi) amend or modify the definition of Credit Party Obligations to delete or exclude
any obligation or liability described therein without the written consent of each Lender
directly affected thereby; or




     (xii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral without the prior written
consent of all of the Lenders (except the release of substantially all of the Collateral in
connection with the sale of assets permitted hereunder to the extent that the




-104-












 






Committed Amount is reduced pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(i) as a result of the sale of
such Collateral and the Credit Party Obligations are prepaid as required under Section
2.6(b)(iii)).


provided, further, that no amendment, waiver or consent affecting the rights or
duties of the Administrative Agent, or the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender under any Credit
Document shall in any event be effective, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent,
or the Issuing Lender and/or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, in addition to the Lenders
required hereinabove to take such action.




     Any such waiver, any such amendment, supplement or modification and any such release shall
apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrower, the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Notes. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower,
the other Credit Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their
former position and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Loans and Notes and other Credit
Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not
continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default,
or impair any right consequent thereon.



     Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the consent of the Borrower shall not be
required for any amendment, modification or waiver of the provisions of Article VIII (other
than the provisions of Section 8.9); provided, however, that the
Administrative Agent will provide written notice to the Initial Borrower of any such amendment,
modification or waiver. In addition, the Borrower and the Lenders hereby authorize the
Administrative Agent to modify this Credit Agreement by unilaterally amending or supplementing
Schedule 2.1(a) from time to time in the manner requested by the Initial Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in order to reflect any assignments or transfers of the Loans as
provided for hereunder; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall
promptly deliver a copy of any such modification to the Initial Borrower and each Lender.



     Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain
circumstances as set forth above, (A) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on
any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the
provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersede the unanimous consent provisions set
forth herein, and (B) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Credit Party to use cash
collateral (excluding cash collateral securing LOC Obligations) in the context of a bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding.



     If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or release (a
“Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, the
consent of Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required
is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained being referred to as a
“Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at Initial
Borrower’s request, Agent may within sixty (60) days thereafter designate another bank or financial
institution which is acceptable to Agent in its reasonable discretion (such other bank or



-105-









 




financial institution being called a “Replacement Lender”) to purchase the Loans of
such Non-Consenting Lender and such Non-Consenting Lender’s rights hereunder, without recourse to
or warranty by, or expense to, such Non-Consenting Lender, for a purchase price equal to the
outstanding principal amount of the Loans payable to such Non-Consenting Lender plus any accrued
but unpaid interest on such Loans and all accrued but unpaid fees owed to such Non-Consenting
Lender and any other amounts payable to such Non-Consenting Lender under this Credit Agreement, and
to assume all the obligations of such Non-Consenting Lender hereunder, and, upon such purchase and
assumption (pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement), such Non-Consenting Lender shall no
longer be a party hereto or have any rights hereunder (other than rights with respect to
indemnities and similar rights applicable to such Non-Consenting Lender prior to the date of such
purchase and assumption) and shall be relieved from all obligations to Borrower hereunder, and the
Replacement Lender shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Non-Consenting Lender
hereunder.

     Section 9.3. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.



     No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or
any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder 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 are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.



     Section 9.4. [Reserved].


     Section 9.5. Payment of Expenses and Taxes; Indemnification.



          The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and WCM for all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development,
preparation, negotiation, printing and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification

demand, to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, the Administrative Agent and WCM harmless from,
any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting

Subsidiary or the Properties, or any orders, requirements or demands of Governmental Authorities
related thereto, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s and consultant’s fees,

provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder to the
Administrative Agent, WCM or any Lender with respect to indemnified liabilities arising from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, WCM or such Lender, as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements in this Section 9.5 shall
survive repayment of the Loans, Notes, LOC Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.




     Section 9.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations; Purchasing Lenders.




     (a) This Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Notes and their
respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any
of its rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents
without the prior written consent of each Lender.




     (b) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with
Applicable Law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (each, a
“Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note
held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender, or any other interest of such Lender
hereunder, in each case in minimum amounts of $10,000,000 (or, if less, the entire amount of
such Lender’s obligations, Commitments or other interests). In the event of any such sale
by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under
this Credit Agreement to the other parties to this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged,
such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall
remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under this Credit Agreement, and the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement.
No Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the Participant shall have
rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Credit Agreement or any other Credit
Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the scheduled
maturity of any Loan or Note or any installment thereon in which such Participant is
participating (except in connection with the extension of the Commitment Termination Date
pursuant to Section 2.20), or



-109-









 







reduce the stated rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon
(except in connection with a waiver of interest at the increased post-default rate) or
reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the Participant’s
participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of
any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a change in the terms of such
participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without
consent of a Participant if such Participant’s participation is not increased as a result
thereof), (ii) release any material Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty or the
Guaranty Agreement (except as otherwise expressly permitted by Sections 5.9, 5.13 or 5.14),
(iii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and
obligations under this Credit Agreement or (iv) release all or substantially all of the
Collateral. In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall not have any
rights under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the Participant’s
rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the
agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the Participant relating thereto) and all
amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold
such participation; provided, that, each Participant shall be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18, 2.19 and
9.5 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding
from time to time; provided, further, that, no Participant shall be
entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such Sections than the transferor Lender
would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation
transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.




     (c) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with
Applicable Law, at any time, sell or assign with the consent of the Administrative Agent and
the Issuing Lender and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Initial Borrower (in each case, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), to one or more additional banks, insurance companies or other financial
institutions or any funds investing in bank loans (each, a “Purchasing Lender”), all
or any part of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement and the Notes in
minimum amounts of $10,000,000 (or, if less, the entire amount of such Lender’s Commitment),
pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement, executed by such Purchasing Lender, such
transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Initial Borrower, and delivered to the Administrative
Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided, however,
that consent from the Issuing Lender shall not be required if the Purchasing Lender has a
senior unsecured debt rating from any two of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch equal to or higher than
A- (or A3 with respect to Moody’s); provided, further, that any sale or
assignment to another Lender or to an Affiliate of an existing Lender shall not require the
consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Borrower. Upon such
execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the Transfer Effective Date
specified in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) the Purchasing Lender thereunder shall
be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have
the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment as set forth therein, and
(ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Commitment
Transfer Supplement, be released from its



-110-









 







obligations under this Credit Agreement (and, in the case of a Commitment Transfer
Supplement covering all or the remaining portion of a transferor Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Credit Agreement, such transferor Lender shall cease to be a party
hereto). Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Credit Agreement
to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing
Lender and the resulting adjustment of Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by
such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor
Lender under this Credit Agreement and the Notes. On or prior to the Transfer Effective
Date specified in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, the Borrower, at its own expense,
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the Notes delivered to
the Administrative Agent pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement new Notes to the
order of such Purchasing Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it pursuant
to such Commitment Transfer Supplement and, unless the transferor Lender has not retained a
Commitment hereunder, new Notes to the order of the transferor Lender in an amount equal to
the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and
shall otherwise be in the form of the Notes replaced thereby. The Notes surrendered by the
transferor Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Initial Borrower
marked “cancelled”.




     (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section
9.2 a copy of each Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register (the
“Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the
Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time.
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan recorded therein for all purposes of this
Credit Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Initial Borrower or
any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.




     (e) Upon its receipt of a duly executed Commitment Transfer Supplement, together with
payment to the Administrative Agent by the transferor Lender or the Purchasing Lender
(except for any assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender), as agreed between
them, of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 for each Purchasing Lender listed in
such Commitment Transfer Supplement and the Notes, if any, subject to such Commitment
Transfer Supplement, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Commitment Transfer
Supplement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (iii) unless
Initial Borrower’s consent to such assignment is not required give prompt notice of such
acceptance and recordation to the Initial Borrower.




     (f) Each Credit Party authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or
Purchasing Lender (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all
financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and its affiliates
which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of a Credit Party



-111-









 







pursuant to this Credit Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on
behalf of a Credit Party in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower
and its affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Credit Agreement, in each case subject
to Section 9.15.




     (g) At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 9.6 to a Person
which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such
term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for federal income tax purposes, the
respective assignee Lender shall provide to the Initial Borrower and the Administrative
Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a 2.18
Certificate) described in Section 2.18.




     (h) Nothing herein shall prohibit any Lender from pledging or assigning any of its
rights under this Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, any right to payment of
principal and interest under any Note) to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with
Applicable Laws.



     Section 9.7. Set-off.




     (a) Each Lender agrees that if any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any
time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any
collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to
an Insolvency Event or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to or
collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or
interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a
participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan, or shall provide
such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as
shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of
such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided,
however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter
recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase
price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The
Borrowers and each other Credit Party agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of
another Lender’s Loans may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation,
rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct
holder of such portion.




     (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law (including,
without limitation, other rights of set-off), each Lender and its Affiliates shall have the
right, without prior notice to the Borrower or the applicable Credit Party, any such notice
being expressly waived by the Credit Parties to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default, to setoff and appropriate and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and
any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held by or owing to such
Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower
or any other Credit Party, or any part thereof in such



-112-









 







amounts as such Lender may elect, against and on account of the Loans and other Credit
Party Obligations of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties to such Lender hereunder and
claims of every nature and description of such Lender against the Borrower and the other
Credit Parties, in any Currency, whether arising hereunder or, under any other Credit
Document provided by such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement, as such
Lender may elect, whether or not such Lender has made any demand for payment and although
such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The aforesaid
right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender against the Borrower, any other Credit
Party or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit
of creditors, receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of the Borrower or any
other Credit Party, or against anyone else claiming through or against the Borrower or any
other Credit Party, or any such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for
the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor,
notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off shall not have been exercised by such
Lender prior to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default. Each Lender agrees
promptly to notify the Initial Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off
and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to
give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.



     Section 9.8. Table of Contents and Section Headings.



     The table of contents and the Section and subsection headings herein are intended for
convenience only and shall be ignored in construing this Credit Agreement.



     Section 9.9. Counterparts.



     This Credit Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Credit Agreement
on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed
to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Credit Agreement signed by
all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.



     Section 9.10. Effectiveness.



     This Credit Agreement shall become effective on the date on which all of the parties have
signed a copy hereof (whether the same or different copies) and shall have delivered the same to
the Administrative Agent or, in the case of the Lenders, shall have given to the Administrative
Agent written, telecopied or telex notice (actually received) at such office that the same has been
signed and mailed to it.



     Section 9.11. Severability.



     Any provision of this Credit Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition



-113-









 




or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such
provision in any other jurisdiction.




     Section 9.12. Integration.



     This Credit Agreement and the Notes, if any, represent the agreement of the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no
promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, or
any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or
in the Notes, if any.



     Section 9.13. Governing Law.



     This Credit Agreement and the Notes and the rights and obligations of the parties under this
Credit Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance
with, the law of the State of New York without regard to conflict of laws principles thereof (other
than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law).



     Section 9.14. Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process.



     Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Credit Agreement or any other Credit
Document shall be brought in the courts of the State of New York in New York County or of the
United States for the Southern District of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Credit
Agreement, each Credit Party, the Administrative Agent and each Lender accepts, for itself and in
connection with its Properties, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of
the aforesaid courts and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any final judgment rendered thereby in
connection with this Credit Agreement from which no appeal has been taken or is available. Each
Credit Party, the Administrative Agent and each Lender irrevocably agrees that all service of
process in any such proceedings in any such court may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by
registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid and
return receipt requested, to it at its address set forth in Section 9.2 or at such other
address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto, such service
being hereby acknowledged by the Borrower and the other Credit Parties to be effective and binding
service in every respect. Each Credit Party, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders irrevocably
waives any objection, including, without limitation, any objection to the laying of venue or based
on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any
such action or proceeding in any such jurisdiction. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of any Lender to bring
proceedings against the Borrower in the court of any other jurisdiction.



     Section 9.15. Confidentiality.



     Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a)
to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers,
employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons agents,
advisors and other representatives to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of



-114-









 




the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have
jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any
subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the
exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding
relating to this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights
hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same
as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of
or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement or (ii) any actual
or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the
Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the written consent of the Initial Borrower or (h) to the
extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Lender or any
of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.




     For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of
their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied
with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential
information.



     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 9.15, with respect to that
Information which constitutes customer or consumer information with the meaning of the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”), 15 USC Section 6801 et seq. and which is marked
conspicuously “Customer Information” (“Customer Information”), the parties acknowledge each
Bank Subsidiary has a responsibility as a financial institution to keep Customer Information
strictly confidential. Notwithstanding any provision in this Credit Agreement to the contrary,
Customer Information shall be kept confidential during the term of this Credit Agreement and after
its termination. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Issuing Lender agree to use
Customer Information only for the purposes for which it was shared to them by Initial Borrower
and/or, as applicable, its Subsidiaries (including Unrestricted Subsidiaries), and not to disclose
Customer Information or make it available to any Person for any reason whatsoever other than as
required by law, subpoena, regulation or by any regulatory authority or as otherwise permitted
under the GLBA or the implementing regulations. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Customer Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have
complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to
maintain the confidentiality of such Customer Information as such Person would accord to its own
confidential information.



     Section 9.16. Acknowledgments.



     The Borrower hereby acknowledges that:



-115-









 






     (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of each
Credit Document;




     (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with
or duty to the Borrower or any other Credit Party arising out of or in connection with this
Credit Agreement and the relationship between Administrative Agent and Lenders, on one hand,
and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith is solely that of debtor and
creditor; and




     (c) no joint venture exists among the Lenders or among the Borrower and the Lenders.



     Section 9.17. Waivers of Jury Trial; Waiver of Consequential Damages.



     THE BORROWER, THE OTHER CREDIT PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT AND
FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN. The Borrower, the other Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders agree not to assert any claim against any other party to this Credit Agreement or any
of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, Affiliates or agents, on any theory
of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise
relating to any of the transactions contemplated herein.



     Section 9.18. PATRIOT Act Notice.



     Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any other party)
hereby notifies each Credit Party that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, Title
III of Pub. L. 107-56, signed into law October 26, 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), it is required
to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information
includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such
Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Credit Party in accordance with
the PATRIOT Act.



     Section 9.19. Judgment Shortfall.




     (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert
a sum owing hereunder in one Currency into another Currency, each party hereto agrees, to
the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be
that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the
first Currency could be purchased with such other Currency on the Business Day immediately
preceding the day on which final judgment is given.




     (b) The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or
any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall,
notwithstanding any judgment in a Currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the



-116-









 







Currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”),
be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the
Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the
Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant
jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of
the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum due in accordance with this
Agreement to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a
separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable
Creditor against such loss and if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased exceeds
the sum due in accordance with this Agreement to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement
Currency, the Applicable Creditor agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower. The
obligations of the Borrower and Applicable Creditor contained in this Section 9.19
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing
hereunder.



     Section 9.20. Return of Notes.



     In the event of (i) any termination in full by the Initial Borrower or CSF of all rights
with respect to the Commitment in accordance Section 2.6(a)(i) or 2.6(a)(ii), as applicable or (ii)
the delivery of any new Note in replacement of a previously issued Note, the applicable Lender
shall return to the Borrower any Notes previously issued to it relating to such terminated
Commitment or replaced Note, as applicable and such Notes shall be marked “cancelled.” In the event
that any Lender does not return its applicable Note or Notes as described in this Section 9.20
within forty-five (45) days after the written request of Borrower, Borrower shall be entitled to
receive a lost note affidavit from such Lender including customary indemnifications reasonably
satisfactory to Borrower with respect to the applicable unreturned Note or Notes.



ARTICLE X




GUARANTY




     Section 10.1. The Guaranty.



     In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Credit Agreement and to extend credit
hereunder and thereunder and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the Guarantors
from the Extensions of Credit hereunder, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees with the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to unconditionally and irrevocably jointly and severally
guarantee the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise, of any and all indebtedness of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
If any or all of the indebtedness becomes due and payable hereunder, each Guarantor
unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or
their respective order, or demand, together with any and all reasonable expenses which may be
incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in collecting any of the Credit Party
Obligations. The word “indebtedness” is used in this Article X in its most comprehensive
sense and includes any and all advances, debts, obligations and liabilities of the Borrower,
including specifically all Credit Party Obligations, arising in connection with this Credit
Agreement or the other Credit Documents, in each case, heretofore, now, or hereafter



-117-









 




made, incurred or created, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, absolute or contingent,
liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, whether or not such indebtedness is from
time to time reduced, or extinguished and thereafter increased or incurred, whether the Borrower
may be liable individually or jointly with others, whether or not recovery upon such indebtedness
may be or hereafter become barred by any statute of limitations, and whether or not such
indebtedness may be or hereafter become otherwise unenforceable. The guaranty set forth in this
Article X is continuing guaranty and is a guaranty of payment and is not merely a guaranty of
collection.




     Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit
Documents, to the extent the obligations of a Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or
unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or
federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of each such
Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under Applicable Law
(whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code).



     Section 10.2. Bankruptcy.



     Additionally, each of the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees jointly and
severally the payment of any and all Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders
whether or not due or payable by the Borrower upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in
Section 7.1(f), and unconditionally promises to pay such Credit Party Obligations to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, or order, on demand, in lawful money of the
United States. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that to the extent that the Borrower or a
Guarantor shall make a payment or a transfer of an interest in any property to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, which payment or transfer or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or otherwise is avoided, and/or required to be repaid to
the Borrower or a Guarantor, the estate of the Borrower or a Guarantor, a trustee, receiver or any
other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to
the extent of such avoidance or repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made.



     Section 10.3. Nature of Liability.



     The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or
other guaranty of the Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower whether executed by any such
Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other party, and no Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall
be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by the Borrower or by any
other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a
guarantor or of any other party as to the Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower, or (c) any
payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution,
termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Borrower, or (e) any payment made
to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Credit Party Obligations which the Administrative
Agent or such Lenders repay the Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each



-118-









 




of the Guarantors waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations
hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.




     Section 10.4. Independent Obligation.



     The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other
Guarantor or the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against
each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor or the Borrower and
whether or not any other Guarantor or the Borrower is joined in any such action or actions.
Subject to the provisions of Section 10.2 regarding revival of Credit Party Obligations,
the Guarantors’ joint and several liability with respect to the Credit Party Obligations shall not
obligate them to pay any Credit Party Obligations which have already been fully satisfied.



     Section 10.5. Authorization.



     Each of the Guarantors authorizes the Administrative Agent and each Lender, without notice or
demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without
affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew, compromise, extend,
increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of
the Credit Party Obligations or any part thereof in accordance with this Credit Agreement,
including any increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon, (b) take and hold security from
any Guarantor or any other party for the payment of this Guaranty or the Credit Party Obligations
and exchange, enforce waive and release any such security, (c) apply such security and direct the
order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in their discretion may
determine, and (d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, Guarantors, the Borrower or
other obligors.



     Section 10.6. Reliance.



     It is not necessary for the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to inquire into the capacity
or powers of the Borrower or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or
purporting to act on its behalf, and any Credit Party Obligations made or created in reliance upon
the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.



     Section 10.7. Waiver.




     (a) Each of the Guarantors waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable
statute and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to (i)
proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against
or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or
(iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s power
whatsoever. Each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any
defense of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party other than payment in full
of the Credit Party Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations), including
without limitation any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the Borrower,
any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Credit Party
Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from



-119-









 







any cause of the liability of the Borrower other than payment in full of the Credit
Party Obligations. The Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any security
held by the Administrative Agent by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales (to the extent
such sale is permitted by Applicable Law), or exercise any other right or remedy the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against the Borrower or any other party, or any
security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder
except to the extent the Credit Party Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments
have been terminated. Each of the Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such
election by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, even though such election
operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or
remedy of the Guarantors against the Borrower or any other party or any security.




     (b) Each of the Guarantors waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests
and notices, including without limitation notices of nonperformance, notice of protest,
notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence,
creation or incurring of new or additional Credit Party Obligations. Each Guarantor assumes
all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial
condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of
the Credit Party Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such
Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor
any Lender shall have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it regarding
such circumstances or risks.




     (c) Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees it will not exercise any rights of subrogation
which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual,
under Section 509 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Lenders
against the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower
owing to the Lenders (collectively, the “Other Parties”) and all contractual,
statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Other
Party which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty until such time
as the Credit Party Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments have been
terminated. Each of the Guarantors hereby further agrees not to exercise any right to
enforce any other remedy which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders now have or may
hereafter have against any Other Party, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any
part of the Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower and any benefit of, and any right to
participate in, any security or collateral given to or for the benefit of the Lenders to
secure payment of the Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower until such time as the Credit
Party Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) shall have been paid in full
and the Commitments have been terminated.



     Section 10.8. Limitation on Enforcement.



     The Lenders agree that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative
Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders and that no Lender shall have any right
individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty, it being



-120-









 




understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Lenders under the terms of this Credit Agreement. The Lenders further
agree that this Guaranty may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee or stockholder
of the Guarantors.




     Section 10.9. Confirmation of Payment.



     The Administrative Agent and the Lenders will, upon request after payment of the indebtedness
and obligations which are the subject of this Guaranty and termination of the Commitments relating
thereto, confirm to the Borrower, the Guarantors or any other Person that such indebtedness and
obligations have been paid and the Commitments relating thereto terminated, subject to the
provisions of Section 10.2.



     Section 10.10. Limitation of Guaranty of CSF. Notwithstanding anything to contrary
contained herein, CSF shall not be deemed a Guarantor with respect to any and all indebtedness that
it owes to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as a Borrower hereunder (but shall continue to
be a Guarantor with respect to all other indebtedness).
