SECTION 2.           Amount and Terms of Credit.

 

2.01.        The
Commitments.  (a)  Subject to and upon the terms and
conditions set forth herein, each Lender with a Commitment severally agrees to
make, at par and any time and from time to time on or after the Initial
Borrowing Date and on or prior to the Merger Closing Date, a loan or loans
(each, an “Initial Loan” and, collectively, the “Initial Loans”)
to the Borrower, which Initial Loans (i) shall be denominated in Dollars
and (ii) shall not be incurred on any date occurring prior to the Merger
Closing Date if, after giving effect to the making of the respective Initial
Loans and the related reductions to the Total Commitment pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(x),
the Bridge Loan Blocked Amount would exceed the then remaining Total
Commitment.

 

(b)      Each Lender agrees that, if the Initial Loans have not
been repaid in full prior to the Initial Maturity Date, on such Initial
Maturity Date the then outstanding principal amount of each of its Initial
Loans shall be automatically converted into an extended loan to the Borrower
(each, an “Extended Loan” and, collectively, the “Extended Loans”)
in an aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal amount
of such Initial Loan or Initial Loans; provided that the extension as
contemplated in this clause (b) shall not occur and all Initial Loans
shall be required to be paid in full on the Initial Maturity Date, if (i) there
then exists any Default or Event of Default under Section 12(h) or
12(i), (ii) there exists at such time any Event of Default hereunder or
the maturity of the Initial Loans has theretofore been accelerated as a result
of the occurrence of one or more Events of Default or (iii) the Merger
Closing Date did not occur on or prior to October 15, 2010.  It is understood and agreed that Loans may
also, at the option of the Lenders as provided in Section 10.15, be
required to be Exchanged for Exchange Notes in accordance with the requirements
of Section 10.15.  All Extended
Loans and Exchange Notes shall be denominated in Dollars.

 

37

 

(c)      Once repaid, Loans incurred hereunder may not be
reborrowed.

 

2.02.        Minimum
Amount of Each Borrowing.  The aggregate principal amount
of each Borrowing of Loans shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing
Amount.  More than one Borrowing may
occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than 10 Borrowings.

 

2.03.        Notice
of Borrowing.  (a)  Whenever the Borrower desires
to incur Initial Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Administrative
Agent at the Notice Office at least three Business Days’ (or, in the case of
the Initial Borrowing Date, same Business Day’s) prior notice of each Initial
Loan to be incurred hereunder, provided that any such notice shall be
deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 11:00 A.M.
(New York City time) on such day.  Each
such notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise
expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall be irrevocable and shall be in
writing, or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing, in the form of Exhibit A
or another form acceptable to the Administrative Agent, appropriately completed
to specify:  (i) the aggregate
principal amount of the Initial Loans to be incurred pursuant to such
Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business
Day), and (iii) in the case of a Borrowing of Initial Loans prior to the
Merger Closing Date, detailed calculations of the Blocked Amount (with a
breakdown to show the B-1 Blocked Amount, the B-2 Blocked Amount and the Term
Loan Blocked Amount).  The Administrative
Agent shall promptly give each Lender notice of such proposed Borrowing, of
such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by
the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

 

(b)      [Intentionally Omitted].

 

(c)      Without in any way limiting the obligation of the
Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice of any Borrowing or
prepayment of Loans, the Administrative Agent may act without liability upon
the basis of telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment, as the case may
be, believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized
Officer of the Borrower, prior to receipt of written confirmation.  In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives
the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such
telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, as the case may be,
absent manifest error.

 

2.04.        Disbursement
of Funds.  No later than 12:00 P.M.  (New York City time) on the date specified in
each Notice of Borrowing (or, in the case of the Initial Borrowing Date as
permitted pursuant to Section 2.03, no later than 4:00 P.M. (New York
City time)), each Lender with a Commitment will make available its pro  rata
portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.07) of each such
Borrowing requested to be made on such date. 
All such amounts will be made available in Dollars and in immediately
available funds at the Payment Office, and the Administrative Agent will make
available to the Borrower at the Payment Office, or to such other account as
the Borrower may specify in writing prior to the date of such Borrowing, the
aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender
does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s
portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may
assume that such Lender has made such

 

38

 

amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing
and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding
amount.  If such corresponding amount is
not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on
demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount
forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall pay on demand
such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent also shall be
entitled to recover on demand 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 until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the
Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from
such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at
the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day thereafter
and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable
to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.08.
Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from
its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the
Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender
to make Loans hereunder.

 

2.05.        Notes.  (a) 
The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans
made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 14.15 and shall, if requested by such Lender,
also be evidenced by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the
Borrower.  To the extent requested by any
Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender an Initial Note
dated the Initial Borrowing Date, substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1
hereto to evidence the Initial Loans made by such Lender to Borrower and with
appropriate insertions (the “Initial Notes”).  Unless converted to an Exchange Note or if
the conditions to extension specified in Section 2.01(b) were not
satisfied on the Initial Maturity Date (in which case the Initial Notes shall
mature and be payable in cash on such date) and to the extent requested by any
Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender an Extended Note
dated the Initial Maturity Date substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2
hereto to evidence the Extended Loan made on such date, in the principal amount
of the Initial Notes of Borrower held by such Lender on such date and with
other appropriate insertions (collectively, the “Extended Notes” and,
together with the Initial Notes, the “Notes”).

 

(b)      Each Lender will note on its internal records the
amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and prior to
any transfer of any of its Notes will endorse on the reverse side thereof the
outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby.  Failure to make any such notation or any
error in such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect
of such Loans.

 

(c)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
above in this Section 2.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall
only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the
delivery of such Notes.  No failure of
any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to the Borrower
shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the
Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by the Borrower which would otherwise
be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement,

 

39

 

and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor
provided pursuant to the various Bridge Loan Documents.  Any Lender which does not have a Note
evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the
notations otherwise described in preceding clause (b).  At any time when any Lender requests the
delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the Borrower shall promptly
execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the
appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

 

2.06.        [Intentionally
Omitted].

 

2.07.        Pro
Rata Borrowings.  All Borrowings of Initial Loans under this
Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro  rata on the
basis of their Commitments.  It is
understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other
Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be
obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of
the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

 

2.08.        Interest.  (a) 
[Intentionally Omitted].

 

(b)      The Borrower agrees to pay interest (x) in
respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Initial Loan from the date of
Borrowing thereof until the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period, be
equal to the sum of the relevant Spread as in effect from time to time during
such Interest Period plus the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period; provided
that the per annum interest rate on the Initial Loans shall not exceed the Cap
Rate; and (y) in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Extended
Loan from the Initial Maturity Date until the maturity thereof (whether by
acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the Cap
Rate.

 

(c)      Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law,
overdue interest in respect of each Loan shall, in each case, bear interest at
a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate otherwise
then applicable to such Loan and all other overdue amounts payable
hereunder.  Without limiting the
foregoing, if any Initial Loans remain outstanding after the Initial Maturity
Date (i.e., if one or more of the conditions to conversion into Extended Loans
set forth in Section 2.01(b) are not satisfied), same will at all
times thereafter accrue interest at the rate described in the immediately
preceding sentence.  Interest that
accrues under this Section 2.08(c) shall be payable on demand.

 

(d)      Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be
payable, in respect of each Loan, (w) quarterly in arrears on each
Quarterly Payment Date, (x) in arrears on the Initial Maturity Date, (y) on
the date of any repayment or prepayment of principal of any Loans (on the
amount repaid or prepaid) and (z) at maturity (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

 

(e)      Upon each Interest Determination Date, the
Administrative Agent shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for the respective
Interest Period and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof.
Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive
and binding on all parties hereto.

 

2.09.        [Intentionally Omitted].

 

40

 

2.10.        Increased
Costs, Illegality, etc.  In the event that any Lender
shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest
error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with
respect to clause (i)(A) below, may be made only by the Administrative
Agent, and with respect to clause (i)(B) below may be made only by the
Administrative Agent, acting at its own discretion or at the direction of the
Required Lenders):

 

(i)            on any Interest
Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of
this Agreement affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, (A) adequate and
fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the
basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate or (B) the
Eurodollar Rate with respect to any Loan does not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost of Lenders of funding such Loan; or

 

(ii)           at any time, that such
Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or
receivable hereunder with respect to any Loan because of (x) any change
since the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule,
regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of
law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the
introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline
or request, such as, but not limited to: 
(A) a change in the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of
the principal of or interest on the Loans or the Notes or any other amounts
payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by
reference to, the net income or net profits of such Lender pursuant to the laws
of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in which its principal office
or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein)
or (B) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events,
excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the
computation of the Eurodollar Rate and/or (y) other circumstances arising
since the Effective Date affecting such Lender, the interbank Eurodollar market
or the position of such Lender in such market (including that the Eurodollar
Rate with respect to such Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost
to such Lender of funding such Loan);

 

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the
Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give
notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and, except
in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such
determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to
each of the other Lenders).  Thereafter,
until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the affected Borrowing shall bear
interest at such rate per annum determined in accordance with Section 2.08,
except that, for each affected Lender, its cost of funds (as determined by it)
shall be used in lieu of the Eurodollar Rate as a component of determining the
applicable interest rate.

 

(b)      Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver
of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for
any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180-days prior to the date
that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstances giving rise to such
increased costs or

 

41

 

reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation
therefor; provided further that if the circumstances giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions are retroactive, then the 180-day period referred
to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

 

2.11.        Compensation. 
The Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request
(which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting
such compensation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including,
without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the
liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender
to fund its Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender
may sustain:  (i) if for any reason
(other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing
of, Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing
(whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.10(a));
(ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment
made pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02 or as a result of an
acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 12) occurs on a date which
is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if
any prepayment of any of its Loans is not made on any date specified in a
notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of
any other default by the Borrower to repay Loans when required by the terms of
this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender.

 

2.12.        Change
of Lending Office.  Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of
any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10 or Section 5.04
with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use
reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to
designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event, provided
that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending
office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of
avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such
Section.  Nothing in this Section 2.12
shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of
any Lender provided in Sections 2.10 and 5.04.

 

2.13.        Replacement of Lenders.  (x)  If
any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (y) upon the occurrence of any
event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c) or
Section 5.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender
charging to the Borrower increased costs or other compensation in excess of
those being generally charged by the other Lenders or (z) in the case of a
refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or
termination with respect to this Agreement which has been approved by the
Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 14.12(b), the
Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with Section 14.04(b), if no
Default or Event of Default then exists or would exist after giving effect to
such replacement, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with
one or more other Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a
Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement
Lender”) and each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent; provided that:

 

(a)      at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13,
the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption
Agreements pursuant to Section 14.04(b) (and with all fees payable
pursuant to said Section 14.04(b) to be

 

42

 

paid by the Replacement Lender and/or the Borrower (as may be agreed to
at such time by and among the Borrower and the Replacement Lender)) pursuant to
which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and
outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender, and in connection therewith, shall
pay to  the Replaced Lender in respect
thereof an amount equal to the sum of an amount equal to the principal of, and
all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of such Replaced Lender; and

 

(b)      all obligations of the Borrower then owing to the
Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (a) above
in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently
being, paid, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 2.11.

 

Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts
required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.13, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and authorized to
execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement on behalf of such Replaced
Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption Agreement so executed by the
Administrative Agent, the Replacement Lender and the Borrower shall be
effective for purposes of this Section 2.13 and Section 14.04.  Upon the execution of the respective
Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in
clauses (a) and (b) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register
by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.15 and, if so requested
by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the
appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Lender
shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to
constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification
provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10,
2.11, 5.04, 13.06, 14.01 and 14.06), which shall survive as to such Replaced
Lender.

SECTION 4.           Commitment Commission; Fees; Reductions and Increases
of Commitments.

 

4.01.        Fees. 
The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lead
Arranger such fees as may be agreed to in writing from time to time by Holdings
or any of its Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger,
as the case may be.

 

4.02.        [Intentionally Omitted].

 

4.03.        Mandatory
Reduction of Commitments.  (a)  The Total
Commitment (and the Commitments of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety
on July 31, 2010, unless the Initial Borrowing Date has occurred on or
prior to such date.

 

(b)      In addition to any other mandatory commitment
reductions pursuant to this Section 4.03, (x) the Total Commitment
shall be reduced on each Borrowing Date (immediately after giving effect to the
borrowing of Initial Loans on such date) by the aggregate principal amount of
Initial Loans borrowed on such date and (y) the Total Commitment (and the
Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on the Merger
Closing Date (after giving effect to any incurrence of Initial Loans on such
date).

 

43

 

(c)           [Intentionally Omitted.]

 

(d)           In addition to any other mandatory commitment
reductions pursuant to this Section 4.03, on the date of each issuance of
Permitted Notes pursuant to Section 11.01(ii), the Total Commitment shall
be reduced by the aggregate principal amount of Permitted Notes so issued.

 

(e)           [Intentionally Omitted].

 

(f)       In addition to any other mandatory commitment
reductions pursuant to this Section 4.03, the Total Commitment shall be
permanently reduced from time to time to the extent required by Section 5.02(g)(ii).

 

(g)      [Intentionally Omitted].

 

(h)      Each reduction to, or termination of, the Total
Commitment pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall be applied to
proportionately reduce or terminate, as the case may be, the Commitment of each
Lender with a Commitment.

 

SECTION 5.           Prepayments; Payments; Taxes.

 

5.01.        Voluntary
Prepayments. (a)  The
Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans, without premium or penalty,
in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on the following terms
and conditions:  (i) the Borrower
shall give the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at
the Notice Office at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or
telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay Loans,
which notice shall specify the amount of such prepayment and the specific
Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were made, and which
notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders;
(ii) each partial prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall
be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000 (or such lesser
amount as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent in any given case), (iii) each
prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) in respect of any Loans
made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro  rata among such
Loans; and (iv) each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall
be applied to the then outstanding Loans on a pro  rata
basis.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, voluntary prepayments of Loans may not be made on or
prior to the Merger Closing Date without the prior written consent of the Lead
Arranger and the First Lien Lead Arrangers. 
Each notice given pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be
irrevocable; provided that a notice of prepayment of Loans may state
that the respective notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of an issuance
of Equity Interests by Holdings or one or more issues of Indebtedness, in which
case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such
condition is not satisfied.

 

(b)      In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to
consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with
respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as
(and to the extent) provided in Section 14.12(b), the Borrower may, upon
five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the
Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to
each of the

 

44

 

Lenders), repay all Loans of such Lender (including all amounts, if
any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11), together with accrued and unpaid
interest, Fees and all other amounts then owing to such Lender in accordance
with, and subject to the requirements of, said Section 14.12(b), so long
as the consents, if any, required by Section 14.12(b) in connection
with the repayment pursuant to this clause (b) shall have been obtained.

 

5.02.        Mandatory
Repayments.  (a) [Intentionally Omitted].

 

(b)      (i) With respect to the Initial Loans, on the
Initial Maturity Date, the Borrower shall be required to repay in full the
entire principal amount of Initial Loans then outstanding if such Initial Loans
have not been converted on such date into Extended Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(b) (and/or,
if the conditions to extension contained in Section 2.01(b) have been
satisfied, concurrently exchanged for Exchange Notes in accordance with Section 10.15)
and (ii) with respect to the Extended Loans, if any, on the Final Maturity
Date, the Borrower shall be required to repay in full the entire principal
amount of Extended Loans then outstanding.

 

(c)      In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant
to this Section 5.02, on each date on or after the Initial Borrowing Date
upon which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from
any issuance or incurrence by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of
Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 11.01
except that, (x) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred in respect of
the Loans and (y) without duplication of preceding clause (x), any
issuance of Permitted Notes (except in each case shall not be excluded pursuant
to this parenthetical), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the
respective incurrence of Indebtedness shall be applied on such date in
accordance with the requirements of Section 5.02(g).

 

(d)      In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant
to this Section 5.02, on each date on or after the Effective Date upon
which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any
Asset Sale or Recovery Event, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds
therefrom shall be applied on such date in accordance with the requirements of Section 5.02(g);
provided, however, that such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be
required to be so applied on such date so long as no Event of Default then
exists and such Net Cash Proceeds shall be used to purchase assets  used or to be used in the businesses
permitted pursuant to Section 11.03(b) within 540 days following the
date of such Asset Sale or Recovery Event, and provided further, that if
all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds not required to be so applied as
provided above in this Section 5.02(d) are not so reinvested within
such 540-day period (or such earlier date, if any, as Holdings or the relevant
Subsidiary determines not to reinvest the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset
Sale or Recovery Event as set forth above), such remaining portion shall be
applied on the last day of such period (or such earlier date, as the case may
be) as provided above in this Section 5.02(d) without regard to the
preceding proviso.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained above in this clause (d), if there are one
or more other issues of Second Lien Indebtedness then outstanding which require
the payment (or offer to repay) such Second Lien Indebtedness with such Net
Cash Proceeds, then the Borrower shall only be required to apply the Loan
Proportionate Amount of such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with this Section 5.02(d);
provided further that if any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds is not actually
applied to repay other outstanding Second Lien Indebtedness (whether

 

45

 

the holders thereof have declined to participate in an offer to
purchase or otherwise), then within 5 Business Days after it is determined that
such amount will not be so applied, the respective amount shall be applied in
accordance with this Section 5.02(d) (determined without regard to
this sentence).

 

(e)      [Intentionally Omitted].

 

(f)       In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant
to this Section 5.02, on each date on or after the Effective Date upon
which Holdings receives any cash proceeds from the sale or issuance of its
Equity Interests, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such sale
or issuance of Equity Interests shall be applied on such date as a mandatory
repayment and/or commitment reduction in accordance with the requirements of Section 5.02(g).

 

(g)      Each amount required to be applied pursuant to
Sections 5.02(c), (d) and (f) in accordance with this Section 5.02(g) shall
be applied (i) first, if on or prior to the Merger Closing Date, to
reduce (on a dollar for dollar basis) the Total Commitment, and (ii) second,
to repay the outstanding principal amount of Loans, except that amounts to be
applied pursuant to Section 5.02(c) shall first be applied as
required by preceding clause (ii) and only after all such Loans have been
repaid in full shall same be applied as required by preceding clause (i).  The amount of each principal repayment of
outstanding principal of Term Loans made as required by Sections 5.02(c), (d), (f) and
(i) shall be applied pro rata to the then outstanding Loans of the
Lenders.

 

(h)      [Intentionally Omitted].

 

(i)       In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant
to this Section 5.02, all then outstanding Loans shall be mandatorily
repaid in full on the date on which a Change of Control occurs.

 

5.03.        Method
and Place of Payment.  Except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, all payments under this Agreement and under any Note shall be made to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled
thereto not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date when due and
shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office.  Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or
under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day,
the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and,
with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the
applicable rate during such extension.

 

5.04.        Net
Payments.  (a)  All payments made by the
Credit Parties hereunder and under any Bridge Loan Document will be made
without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. 
Except as provided in Section 5.04(b), all such payments will be
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 jurisdiction or by any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to
such payments (but excluding (i) any tax imposed on or measured by the net
income or net profits of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case
may be, pursuant to the laws of the

 

46

 

jurisdiction in which the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized or
resident or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or, in the case of a
Lender, applicable lending office of the Administrative Agent or such Lender,
as the case may be, is located or any subdivision thereof or therein, (ii) in the case of
a Foreign Lender (other than an assignee pursuant to a request by the Borrower
under Section 2.12), any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts
payable to such Foreign Lender pursuant to applicable law in effect on the date
such Foreign Lender becomes a party hereto or the date such Foreign Lender
designates a new lending office, except to the extent that such Lender (or its
assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending
office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from the Borrower or
Holdings with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to Section 5.04(a),
(iii) any U.S.
backup withholding taxes, (iv) any taxes 
imposed as a result of the Administrative Agent’s or the Lender’s
failure to comply with  Section 5.04(b) and
(v) any United States federal withholding tax that would not have been
imposed but for a failure by such recipient (or any financial institution
through which any payment is made to such recipient) to comply with the
applicable requirements of  Sections 1471
through 1474 of the Code or any Treasury Regulation promulgated thereunder or
published administrative guidance implementing such Sections, and all interest, penalties or similar
liabilities with respect to such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
fees, assessments or other charges (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 or to cause a
relevant Credit Party 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
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 within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is
due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such
payment by such Borrower or Credit Party. 
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. If the Administrative Agent or
Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to
which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.04(a),
it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent
of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under
this Section 5.04(a) with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such
refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such
Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the
Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees
to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus interest attributable to the
period during which the Borrower held such funds and any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in
the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This Section 5.04(a) shall not be
construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available
its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems
confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

 

(b)      Each Lender that 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 (a “Foreign Lender”) agrees to deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date,

 

47

 

(i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY or Form W-8BEN (with
respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or successor
forms) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete
exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be
made under this 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 and
cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY
or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax
treaty) (or any successor forms) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a
certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D (any such
certificate, a “Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate”) and (y) two
accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
(with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form)
certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption
from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be
made under this Agreement and under any Note. A Lender that is an assignee or
transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.13 or
14.04(b) (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder
immediately prior to such assignment or transfer) agrees to deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date of such assignment or
transfer two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY, Form W-8BEN (with respect to
the benefits of any income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with respect to
the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate,
as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to
establish the entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from or reduction in
United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and
any Note, or such Lender shall immediately notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such Form or
Certificate, in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any
such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 5.04(b).  In addition, each Lender agrees that from
time to time after the Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in
circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any
material respect, such Lender will deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY or Form W-8BEN
(with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN
(with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate,
as the case may be, and such other forms, certifications and other information
as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction
in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement
and any Note, and the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be,
shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (as
applicable) of its inability to deliver any such Form or Certificate, in
which case the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall
not be required to deliver any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 5.04(b) if
it is not legally permitted to deliver such forms as a result of a change in
law after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in Section 5.04(a), but subject to Section 14.04(b) and the
immediately succeeding sentence, (x) the Borrower shall be entitled, to
the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold income or
similar 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 to the extent that such Lender
has not provided to the Borrower and Administrative Agent U.S. Internal Revenue
Service Forms, certificates and

 

48

 

information that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or
withholding and (y) the Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 5.04(a) to
gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of income or similar taxes
(including withholding taxes) imposed by the United States if (I) such
Lender has not provided to the Borrower the Internal Revenue Service Forms,
certificates or other information required to be provided to the Borrower
pursuant to this Section 5.04(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.   Each
Administrative Agent and Lender that is a United States person (as such term is
defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax
purposes agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or
prior to the Effective Date or, in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or
transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.13 or
14.04(b) (unless the respective Lender as already a Lender hereunder
immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such
assignment or transfer to such Lender (and from time to time thereafter as
prescribed by applicable law or upon the request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that it is not subject to backup
withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.04
and except as set forth in Section 14.04(b), the Borrower agrees to pay
any additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 5.04(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 second preceding sentence as a result of any changes that are effective
after the Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule,
regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to
the deducting or withholding of such Taxes.

 

(c)      In the event that the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent is required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any taxes (including
any taxes imposed under Section 1471 or 1472 of the Code) from any amounts
payable to any Lender on or in respect of any Bridge Loan Document, the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall (a) deduct
and withhold such tax, (b) pay such tax to the applicable Governmental
Authority, and (c) shall promptly furnish to the relevant Lender
satisfactory official tax receipts in respect of any payment of taxes.

 

SECTION 6.           Conditions Precedent to Credit Events on the Initial

of such specified date and (y) any such representation or warranty that is
qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language

9.10.        ERISA.  No ERISA
Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together
with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to

security interest (in each case other than as permitted by this Agreement)
against the property or assets of the Borrower or such ERISA Affiliate.

 

9.11.        Disclosure.  To Holdings’

Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other
information so furnished) contained, as of the date furnished, any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to
make the statements therein, taken as a whole, not materially misleading in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made; provided that, with
respect to the Projections and other projected and forward-looking information,
the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith

transactions to occur on the date of each Credit Event and immediately
following each Credit Event, and after giving effect to any application of the
proceeds of such Credit Event, Holdings and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated

62

Administrative Agent thereof.

 

9.15.        Capitalization and Subsidiaries.  Schedule

Parties are part of an affiliated group. 
Each Credit Party expects to derive benefit, directly and indirectly,

separate capacities and as members of the group of companies.

 

9.17.        Labor Disputes.  Except as set

Credit Party has knowledge that any union or other labor organization is
seeking to organize, or to be recognized as, a collective bargaining unit of
employees of such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or for any similar
purpose.  Except as could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, there is no pending or (to the
best of the Borrower’s knowledge) threatened, strike, work stoppage, material
unfair labor practice claim, or other material labor dispute against or affecting
any Credit Party or its Subsidiaries or their employees.

with the preceding sentence, the Credit Parties shall at no time own Margin
Stock with an aggregate fair market value in excess of $5,000,000.

 

(b)      Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the
proceeds thereof nor the occurrence of any other Credit Event will violate or
be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

 

9.20.        Security Documents.  (a)  The
provisions of the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement are effective to create in
favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors a legal,
valid and enforceable security interest in all right, title and interest of the
Credit Parties in the GCA Collateral described therein, and the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, has, or will within 5 Business
Days of the Initial Borrowing Date have, a fully perfected security interest in
all right, title and interest in all of the GCA Collateral described therein to
the extent that the perfection of such security interests can be obtained
through the filing of UCC financing statements or other actions required in
accordance with the terms of the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement (except to
the extent such actions are not then required to have been taken in accordance
with the express provisions of the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement), subject
to no other Liens other than Permitted Liens. 
The recordation of (x) the Grant of Security Interest in U.S.
Patents and (y) the Grant of Security Interest in U.S. Trademarks in the respective
form attached to the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, in each case in the
United States Patent and Trademark Office, together with filings on Form UCC-1
made pursuant to the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, will create, as may be
perfected by such filings and recordation, a perfected security interest in the
United States trademarks and patents covered by the Guaranty and Collateral
Agreement, and the recordation of the Grant of Security Interest in U.S.
Copyrights in the form attached to the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement with
the United States Copyright Office, together with filings on Form UCC-1
made pursuant to the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, will create, as may be
perfected by such filings and recordation, a perfected security interest in the
United States copyrights covered by the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement.

 

(b)      Each Mortgage creates, as security for the obligations
purported to be secured thereby, a valid and enforceable perfected security
interest in and mortgage lien on the respective Mortgaged Property in favor of
the Collateral Agent (or such other trustee as may be required or desired under
local law) for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, superior and prior to the
rights of all third Persons (except that the security interest and mortgage
lien created on such Mortgaged Property may be subject to the Permitted
Encumbrances related thereto) and subject to no other Liens (other than
Permitted Encumbrances related thereto).

 

Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained above in this Section 9.20, to the extent that
actions with respect to the Collateral are not required to be taken on the
Initial Borrowing Date pursuant to the express provisions of Section 6.10(b) hereof,
then the foregoing representations in this Section 9.20 shall be deemed
modified to the extent reasonably required so that same are not untrue as a
result of actions not required to be taken pursuant to said Section 6.10(b);
provided that with respect to any such action which was not required to
be taken

 

64

 

pursuant to Section 6.10(b), the exception
provided herein shall cease to apply at such time as the respective action is
required to be taken in accordance with the requirements of Section 10.10
hereof.

 

9.21.        Intellectual Property, etc. 
Each of Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries owns or has the right to
use all the patents, trademarks, domain names, service marks, trade names,
copyrights, licenses, inventions, trade secrets, proprietary information and
know-how (including, but not limited to, rights in computer programs and
databases) and formulas, or rights with respect to the foregoing necessary for
the present conduct of its business, without any known conflict with the rights
of others which, or the failure to own or have which, as the case may be, could
reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

 

9.22.        Representations and Warranties in Merger Agreement. 
On the Initial Borrowing Date, all representations and warranties made
by the Target in the Merger Agreement that are material to the interests of the
Lenders are true and correct, but only to the extent that Holdings (or
Mergersub) has the right (without regard to any notice requirement) to
terminate its obligations under the Merger Agreement (or would be permitted to
decline to consummate the Merger) as a result of a breach of such
representation and warranties in the Merger Agreement.

 

SECTION 10.         Affirmative Covenants.  Each of Holdings
and the Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that on and after the Effective

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the
Administrative Agent and/or the Lead Arranger will make available to the
Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of Holdings
and/or the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by
posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic
system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side”
Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public
information with respect to the Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or their
securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). 
The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable
efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be
distributed to the Public Lenders and that the Borrower will use commercially
reasonable efforts to (w) clearly and conspicuously mark all such Borrower
Materials “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall
appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower
Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the
Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and the Lenders to treat such Borrower
Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it
may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or its
securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided,
however, that the Borrower Materials shall be subject to Section 14.16,
to the extent applicable; (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are
permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public
Investor”; and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger shall be
entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being
suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public
Investor.”  At the request of the
Administrative Agent or the Lead Arranger, the Borrower shall promptly review
any Borrower Materials as may be requested in order to determine whether same
may be marked “PUBLIC” and made available to Public Lenders as provided above.

 

10.02.      Notices

Administrative Agent and each Lender prompt written notice of the following:

of default exists with respect thereto or that any Credit Party is not in
compliance therewith;

 

(c)      receipt of any written notice of which a Responsible
Officer of the Borrower has knowledge of any governmental investigation or any

in excess of $25,000,000; or (vi) involves any product recall to
the extent such product recall could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect;

 

(d)      commencement of any proceedings contesting any tax,
fee, assessment, or other governmental charge in excess of $25,000,000;

 

(e)      any loss, damage, or destruction to the Collateral in

Effect;

 

(g)      the occurrence of any ERISA Event that, alone or

expected to result in liability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in an

(h)      any other development that results in, or could
reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect.

 

Each notice delivered under this Section 10.02
shall be accompanied by a statement of a Financial Officer or other executive
officer of the Borrower setting forth the details of the event or development
requiring such notice and any action taken or proposed to be taken with respect
thereto.

 

10.03.      Existence;
Conduct of Business.  Each Credit Party will, and will cause each
of its Subsidiaries to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its legal existence and the
rights, licenses, permits, privileges and franchises material to the conduct of
its business, and maintain all requisite authority to conduct its business in
each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, in each case except where
the failure to do so could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect; provided that the foregoing shall not
prohibit any merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution or other
transaction permitted under Section 11.03; provided, further,
that nothing in this Section 10.03 shall prevent any Credit Party from
discontinuing the corporate existence of any Subsidiary if discontinuance is
desirable in the conduct of such Credit Party’s business or the business of
such Subsidiary and such discontinuance is not disadvantageous in any material
respect to the Lenders.

 

10.04.      Payment
of Obligations.  Each Credit Party will, and will cause each
of its Subsidiaries to, pay or discharge when due all material Indebtedness and
all other material liabilities and obligations, including Taxes, except where (a) the
validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings, (b) such Credit Party or such Subsidiary has set aside on its
books adequate reserves with respect thereto to the extent required in
accordance with GAAP and (c) the failure to make payment pending such
contest could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

 

69

 

10.05.      Maintenance
of Properties and Intellectual Property Rights.  Except where
the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries
to, (a) keep and maintain all property material to the conduct of its
business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted,
and (b) maintain in effect at all times all material intellectual property
rights and licenses, which are necessary for it to own its property or conduct
its business.

 

10.06.      Books
and Records; Inspection Rights; Annual Lender Meetings.  (a)  Each Credit Party
will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep proper books of record
and account in which entries which are full, true and correct in all material
respects are made of all material dealings and transactions in relation to its
business and activities.  Each Credit
Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit any
representatives designated by the Administrative Agent (including employees of
the Administrative Agent, or any consultants, accountants, lawyers and
appraisers retained by the Administrative Agent), upon reasonable prior notice,
to visit and inspect its properties, to examine and make extracts from its
books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its
officers and independent accountants (provided a representative from the
Borrower shall have the right to be present), all at such reasonable times
during normal business hours and as often as reasonably requested; provided,
that following the Effective Date and so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall only be required to reimburse
the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 14.01 for the cost of
two such inspections in any Fiscal Year. 
The Credit Parties acknowledge that the Administrative Agent, after
exercising its rights of inspection, may prepare and distribute to the Lenders
reports regarding same for internal use by the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders.

 

(b)      At the request of the Administrative Agent, the
Borrower will within 30 days after the date of the delivery (or, if later,
required delivery) of the annual financial information pursuant to Sections
10.01(a) (or such later date agreed to by the Administrative Agent), hold
a meeting (with telephonic conferences being acceptable if agreed to by the
Administrative Agent), at a time and location (as applicable) selected by the
Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, with all of the
Lenders that choose to attend, to review the financial results of the previous
Fiscal Year and the financial condition of Holdings and its Subsidiaries and
the budgets presented for the current Fiscal Year of Holdings and its
Subsidiaries.

 

10.07.      Compliance with Laws.  Each Credit
Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all
statutes, laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority
applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to do so,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

 

10.08.      Use
of Proceeds.  All proceeds of the Loans will be used by the
Borrower to finance the Merger, the termination of the Prior Merger Agreement,
the Exchange Offer, the Refinancing and the Top-Off Purchases (if any) and to
pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction.

 

10.09.      Insurance. 
Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to
maintain with financially sound and reputable carriers having a financial
strength rating of at

 

70

 

least A- by A.M.
Best Company (or the equivalent rating with respect to markets not rated by A.M.
Best Company) or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,
insurance against: (i) loss or damage by fire and loss in transit; (ii) theft,
burglary, pilferage, larceny, embezzlement, and other criminal activities; (iii) business
interruption; (iv) general liability and (v) and such other hazards,
as is customary in the business of such Person; provided that the Credit
Parties and the Subsidiaries may self-insure in accordance with good business
practice.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall maintain, with respect to each
Flood Hazard Property, flood hazard insurance, as required by law and as
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.  All such insurance shall be in amounts, cover
such assets and be under such policies as are customary in the business of such
Person.  No Credit Party will use or
permit any property to be used in any manner which might render inapplicable
any insurance coverage, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.  Each Credit Party shall,
as promptly as practicable (and in any event by April 30, 2010 or such
later date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent), deliver to the
Collateral Agent certificates of insurance with respect to the insurance
maintained by the Credit Parties as required above and naming the Collateral
Agent as additional insured and/or as loss payee, and stating that such
insurance shall not be cancelled or materially revised without at least 30 day’s
prior written notice (or 10 days’ prior written notice in the case of
nonpayment of premiums) by the insured to the Collateral Agent.

 

10.10.      Additional
Collateral; Further Assurances; Etc.  (a) 
Subject to applicable law, each Credit Party shall, unless the Required Lenders
otherwise consent, cause each of its Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries
(excluding any Excluded Subsidiary, any Inactive Subsidiary and any Agreed
Non-Guarantor Subsidiary) formed or acquired (or which first becomes such a
Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary or ceases to be an Excluded Subsidiary, an
Inactive Subsidiary or an Agreed Non-Guarantor Subsidiary) after the date of
this Agreement to become a Credit Party (and a party to the Guaranty and
Collateral Agreement and, if same has not been terminated in accordance with
its terms, the Intercreditor Agreement) by executing a Joinder Agreement in
substantially the form set forth as Exhibit M hereto, in each case
with such changes as may be reasonably requested by or satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent (each, a “Joinder Agreement”) within thirty (30)
days (or such longer time period if agreed to by the Administrative Agent in
its sole discretion) after the formation or acquisition thereof or after the
first date upon which the respective Subsidiary of such Person becomes a
Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary or ceases to be an Excluded Subsidiary, an
Inactive Subsidiary or an Agreed Non-Guarantor Subsidiary.  Upon execution and delivery thereof, each
such Person (i) shall become a Guarantor hereunder and thereupon shall
have all of the rights, benefits, duties, and obligations in such capacity
under the Bridge Loan Documents and (ii) will grant Liens to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, in any property of such Credit Party which constitutes Collateral as
set forth in, and in accordance with, the Security Documents.  Without limiting the foregoing, it is
understood and agreed that all actions specified above shall be required to be
taken with respect to Target and each of its Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries
(excluding any Excluded Subsidiary, any Inactive Subsidiary and any Agreed
Non-Guarantor Subsidiary) as soon as practicable following the Merger Closing
Date, and in any event within thirty (30) days thereafter or such later date if
agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion; provided
that actions with respect to Target Mortgaged Properties shall be taken as
required by the following clause (c).

 

71

 

(b)      Subject to the time period in which to deliver a
Joinder Agreement pursuant to Section 10.10(a) above, each Credit
Party will cause (i) 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests
of each of its Domestic Subsidiaries (excluding any Excluded Subsidiary) and (ii) 66%
of the issued and outstanding voting Equity Interests in each Foreign
Subsidiary (excluding any Excluded Subsidiary), and 100% of the issued and
outstanding non-voting Equity Interests in each such Foreign Subsidiary, directly
owned by the Borrower or any Guarantor to be subject at all times to a
perfected Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the Bridge Loan Documents or other security documents as the
Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

 

(c)      Within 60 days following the Merger Closing Date (or
such later date as may reasonably be agreed to by the Administrative Agent,
provided one extension of 30 days shall automatically be granted if the
applicable Credit Parties are using good faith efforts to satisfy this
covenant), Target and its Subsidiaries which are Credit Parties (as required by
preceding clause (a)) shall be required to grant Mortgages with respect to each
Target Mortgaged Property and, in connection therewith, shall take all the
actions specified in Section 6.18 as would have been required if the
requested Target Mortgaged Property were an Original Mortgaged Property;
provided that the actions required to be taken pursuant to clauses (ii) and
(iii) of Section 6.18 shall not be required to be completed until 90
days following the Merger Closing Date (or such later date as may be agreed to
by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion).

 

(d)      Holdings will, and will cause each Subsidiary that,
after the Effective Date, provides security, directly or indirectly, under the
First Lien Credit Documents (or any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred
in respect thereof) to pledge its assets that secure the obligations under the
First Lien Loans (or any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred in respect
thereof) to secure the Obligations hereunder on at least a second-ranking basis
(in relation to the First Lien Indebtedness) in a manner consistent with the
Intercreditor Agreement and with the priority contemplated under this Agreement
and the other Bridge Loan Documents, in each case pursuant to security
documents (collectively, the “Additional Security Documents”) which are
substantially consistent with those used to create the respective security
interests pursuant to the First Lien Credit Documents or relevant Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness.

 

(e)      Holdings will, and will cause each of the other Credit
Parties to, at the expense of Holdings and the Borrower, make, execute,
endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to
time such vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, financing
statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, real
property surveys, reports, landlord waivers, bailee agreements, control
agreements and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps
relating to the Collateral covered by any of the Security Documents as the
Collateral Agent may reasonably require; provided that the foregoing shall not
require actions which are expressly not required to be taken in accordance with
the terms of any relevant Security Document or this Agreement.  Furthermore, Holdings will, and will cause
the other Credit Parties that are Subsidiaries of Holdings to, deliver to the
Collateral Agent such opinions of counsel, title insurance and other related
documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to assure
itself that this Section 10.10 has been complied with or this Agreement.

 

72

 

(f)       If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders
reasonably determine that they are required by law or regulation to have
appraisals prepared in respect of any Real Property of Holdings and the other
Credit Parties constituting Collateral, Holdings and the Borrower will, at
their own expense, provide to the Administrative Agent appraisals which satisfy
the applicable requirements of the Real Estate Appraisal Reform Amendments of
the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as
amended, and which shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

(g)      Holdings and the Borrower agree that each action
required by clauses (d) through (f) of this Section 10.10
shall be completed as soon as possible, but, except as otherwise expressly
provided in the relevant Security Document or this Agreement, in no event later
than 45 days after such action is requested to be taken by the Administrative
Agent or the Required Lenders (or such longer period as may be satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be); provided
that in no event will Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries be required to take
any action, other than using its commercially reasonable efforts, to obtain
consents from third parties (who are not Subsidiaries of Holdings) with respect
to its compliance with this Section 10.10.

 

(h)           If any Foreign Pledge Agreements (as defined in the
First Lien Credit Agreement) are executed with respect to the security
interests created under the First Lien Credit Documents, then substantially
contemporaneously therewith the respective Credit Party or Credit Parties shall
execute and deliver substantially similar pledge agreements to secure the Obligations
hereunder (each a “Foreign Pledge Agreement” and, collectively, the “Foreign
Pledge Agreements”), it being understood and agreed, however, in the case
of any Foreign Pledge Agreement entered into by Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries, the respective Credit Party shall not be required to pledge more
than 66% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Equity Interests
entitled to vote of any Foreign Subsidiary that is a corporation (or treated as
such for U.S. federal tax purposes) in support of its obligations (x) as a
Borrower under the Bridge Loan Agreement (in the case of the Borrower) or (y) under
its Guaranty in respect of the Obligations of the Borrower (in the case of the
other Credit Parties) (although 100% of the non-voting Equity Interests, if
any, of each such Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to be pledged in support
of such obligations).  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.10, except if
required pursuant to preceding clause (d)), no Foreign Subsidiary shall
guarantee any Obligation of the Borrower and no security or similar interest
shall be granted in the assets of any Foreign Subsidiary, which security or
similar interest guarantees any Obligation of the Borrower.  In determining whether to require one or more
Foreign Pledge Agreements as permitted above, the Administrative Agent or
Required Lenders, as the case may be, shall (in their sole discretion) consider
the costs of the actions required in connection with the execution and delivery
of the respective Foreign Pledge Agreements as against the relative value of
the security interests and additional protection provided thereby.

 

(i)            To the extent any action which would otherwise have
been required to be taken pursuant to Sections 6.10 and 6.18 hereof have not
been taken on or prior to the Initial Borrowing Date as permitted by Section 6.10(b),
then the Borrower shall cause all such actions to be taken as promptly as
practicable after the Initial Borrowing Date, provided that in any event such
actions shall be required to be completed within (x) 30 days after the
Initial Borrowing Date in the case of actions otherwise required under Sections
6.10(a), (y) 60 days after the Initial 

 

73

 

Borrowing Date in the case of actions required to be
taken pursuant to Section 6.18 and (z) 90 days after the Initial
Borrowing Date in the case of all actions to be taken pursuant to clauses (ii) and
(iii) of Section 6.18, in each case as such dates may be extended
(with respect to a given action or actions) at the sole discretion of the
Administrative Agent.  In determining
whether to require one or more Foreign Pledge Agreements as permitted above,
the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders, as the case may be, shall (in
their sole discretion) consider the costs of the actions required in connection
with the execution and delivery of the respective Foreign Pledge Agreements as
against the relative value of the security interests and additional protection
provided thereby.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
above, the Borrower and the other Credit Parties shall not be required to grant
Mortgages with respect to any Original Mortgage Tax State Property and, in the
case of any Real Properties (other than the Original Mortgage Properties and
the Target Mortgage Properties) at any time acquired or owned in one or more
Mortgage Tax States, the Credit Parties shall not be required to grant
Mortgages therein unless and until such time (if any) as the First-Lien
Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) are fully secured to
the maximum principal thereof.

 

10.11.      [Intentionally
Omitted.]

 

10.12.      Ratings.  Holdings and
the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain (i) a
public corporate family rating of Holdings and a rating of the Loans, in each
case from Moody’s, and (ii) a public corporate credit rating of Holdings
and a rating of the Loans, in each case from S&P (it being understood and
agreed that “commercially reasonable efforts” shall in any event include the
payment by Holdings or the Borrower of customary rating agency fees and
cooperation with information and data requests by Moody’s and S&P in
connection with their ratings process).

 

10.13.      Merger; Target Refinancing. 
Holdings and the Borrower hereby agree and covenant to:

 

(a)      consummate the Merger in accordance in all material
respects with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and all
applicable law as promptly as practicable and in any event on or prior to the
earlier to occur of (x) the 35th day after the 90% Condition has been
satisfied and (y) October 15, 2010;

 

(b)      within 50 days after the Merger Closing Date, cause
the redemption in full of all then outstanding Target Existing Notes (the “Target
Refinancing”), which Target Existing Notes shall at such time be
permanently retired; provided that if any Target Existing Notes are
outstanding on the Merger Closing Date, Borrower shall cause Target or Target
Sub to issue (on the Merger Closing Date) an irrevocable notice of redemption
of all then outstanding Target Existing Notes in accordance with the
requirements of the indenture governing the Target Existing Notes (the “Target
Existing Notes Indenture”) and shall on the Merger Closing Date deposit
with the trustee under the Target Existing Notes Indenture cash in the
aggregate amount needed to effect such redemptions (including amounts needs for
accrued interest and any applicable make whole premiums); and

 

74

 

(c)      effect the Transaction in all material respects in
accordance with the Transaction Summary.

 

10.14.      Securities
Demand.  (a)  
At any time and from time to time during the period beginning on the
Merger Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Merger Closing
Date, if and to the extent so directed in a Demand Notice (as defined below)
given in accordance with Section 10.14(b) with respect to a private
issuance and sale of Securities (as defined below), the Borrower shall provide
to the Lead Arranger as soon as reasonably practicable a preliminary offering
memorandum usable in a customary high-yield road show relating to the issuance
by the Borrower of Securities (including all financial statements and other
data to be included therein (including all audited financial statements and
unaudited interim financial statements (each of which unaudited interim
financial statements shall have undergone a SAS 100 review)) and all
appropriate pro forma financial statements prepared in accordance with
Regulation S-X under the Securities Act (with such deviations therefrom as may
be mutually agreed by Borrower and the Lead Arranger), and substantially all
other data (including selected financial data) that the SEC would require in a
registered offering; provided that (i) financial information that would be
so required by Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X shall not be required in
any offering memorandum with respect to Securities and (ii) a
consolidating footnote required by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X shall not
be required in any offering memorandum with respect to Securities so long as
the substantive information that would be presented in such footnote is
otherwise disclosed in such offering memorandum; and provided further that any
offering memorandum with respect to Securities may include information through
incorporation by reference to the same extent, and on the same basis, as would
be permitted by Section 10.15(b) if such offering memorandum were an
offering memorandum for Exchange Notes required to be delivered pursuant to Section 10.15(b).

 

(b)      At any time and from time to time during the period
commencing upon the Effective Date and ending on the first anniversary of the
Merger Closing Date, upon notice by the Lead Arranger to the Borrower (a “Demand
Notice”), the Borrower will take such actions as are reasonably necessary
to cause the public or private issuance and sale of debt securities (such debt
securities, the “Securities” and such issuance and sale of debt securities, a “Securities
Offering”) in one or more transactions in such amounts and on such terms
and conditions (including without limitation covenants, events of default,
guarantees, collateral and intercreditor provisions, currency, interest and/or
dividend rates, yield, redemption provisions, maturity date and registration
rights) as specified in the Demand Notice, in each case, as MS&Co. in its
reasonable judgment determines to be appropriate in light of the then
prevailing circumstances and market conditions and the financial condition and
prospects of Holdings and its Subsidiaries at such time; provided, however,
that (a) at the date of issuance of Securities, the weighted average total
interest rate on (i) Securities issued to replace or refinance the Loans
and Commitments and (ii) the First Lien Loans and commitments under the
First Lien Credit Agreement, shall not exceed the Total Yield Cap, (b) any
securities issued in a public Securities Offering or in a private Securities
Offering with registration rights will not, without Holdings’ consent, be
secured by the Equity Interests of any of Holdings’ Subsidiaries to the extent
that the granting of such security interest would give rise to any requirement
to file separate financial statements for such subsidiary with the SEC pursuant
to Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act or any successor rule or
regulation and (c) each Demand Notice shall provide for not less than
$50,000,000 of Securities to be issued. 
Any Securities that are the subject of a

 

75

 

Demand Notice will be issued pursuant to one or more
customary agreements, which, in each case, shall contain such terms, conditions
and covenants as are typical and customary for similar financings (as
determined by MS&Co.) and as are reasonably satisfactory in all respects to
the MS&Co.; provided that (i) the Securities shall be denominated in
Dollars, (ii) the guarantee structure shall be consistent with that in the
Bridge Loan Documents, (iii) the maturity date of the Securities shall not
be less than 7 years after the Effective Date, (iv) the Securities shall
be unsecured (unless and to the extent otherwise permitted to be secured in
accordance with the relevant provisions of the First Lien Credit Documents) and
(v) the Securities will not require any scheduled amortization payments,
mandatory redemptions or sinking fund payments prior to the final stated
maturity thereof.

 

(c)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, in the event of a failure by the Borrower to execute a Securities
Offering within 30 days after delivery of a Demand Notice (such 30th day, the “Demand
Failure Date”), the Lead Arranger shall have the right to increase the
interest rate with respect to the Loans on the Demand Failure Date (and/or any
time thereafter) to an amount such that the weighted average total interest
rate on such Loans and the First Lien Loans and commitments under the First
Lien Credit Agreement shall not exceed the Total Yield Cap.

 

10.15.      Exchange Notes; Exchange Notes Indentures; Etc.  (a)   If any Loan remains outstanding at any time
on or after the 20th Business Day prior to the Initial Maturity Date then, upon
any request by Requesting Bridge Lenders to Exchange at least $50,000,000
aggregate principal amount of Loans (which request shall specify the aggregate
principal amount of Loans then requested to be Exchanged by the Requesting
Bridge Lenders) for a like principal amount of Exchange Notes (each a “Requesting
Bridge Lenders Exchange Request”), the Borrower agrees to effect such
Exchange within 15 Business Days after such request (or, if later, upon the
occurrence of the Initial Maturity Date). 
Upon its receipt of any Requesting Bridge Lenders Exchange Request, the
Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within 3 Business Days) notify the
Lenders other than the Requesting Bridge Lenders (each an “Other Lender”
and such notice to the Other Lenders the “Other Lender Notice”) of such
Requesting Bridge Lenders Exchange Request, of the principal amount of Loans
requested to be Exchanged pursuant to such Requesting Bridge Lenders Exchange
Request and of the Other Lenders’ opportunity to exchange Loans for Exchange
Notes pursuant to the respective Exchange, and to the extent that any Other
Lender notifies the Borrower within 10 Business Days after effectiveness of the
Other Lender Notice with respect to such Other Lender pursuant to Section 14.03
that such Other Lender elects to include principal of such Other Lender’s Loans
in such Exchange, such Other Lender’s Loans shall be so exchanged for Exchange
Notes pursuant to said Exchange.  With
respect to notices pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence it is
understood and agreed that (i) any Lender may, subject to the requirements
of the immediately preceding sentence, elect to include all or any portion of
the principal of its outstanding Loans in any Exchange, (ii) no Lender
shall be obligated to participate in any Exchange and (iii) if any Lender
fails to provide a response to an Other Lender Notice as required above, such
Lender shall be deemed to have declined to participate in the Exchange to which
such Other Lender Notice relates.  Loans
delivered to the Borrower under this Section 10.15 in exchange for
Exchange Notes shall be canceled by the Borrower and the applicable Lenders and
the corresponding amount of the Loan deemed repaid, and the Exchange Notes
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the terms of the Exchange
Notes Indenture.

 

76

 

(b)      Following its receipt of a Requesting Bridge Lenders
Exchange Request, the Borrower agrees, as promptly as practicable and in any
event within 20 Business Days after such receipt, to (i) deliver to the
respective Requesting Bridge Lenders and all other Lenders participating in the
applicable Exchange as well as any then existing holders of Exchange Notes, an
offering memorandum of the type customarily utilized in a Rule 144A
offering of high yield securities covering the resale of such Exchange Notes by
such Lenders or Exchange Note holders, in such form and substance as is
reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Requesting Bridge Lenders, and
(subject to Section 10.15(e)) keep such offering memorandum updated during
the first year after the respective Exchange, provided that the Borrower may
include information in such offering memorandum by incorporating such
information by reference to documents filed with the SEC and may update such
offering memorandum through “forward” incorporation by reference to Holdings’
or the Borrower’s filings with the SEC on and after the date of such offering
memorandum, and the effect of such incorporation by reference and such updating
shall be deemed to be consistent with the manner in which such incorporation by
reference and updating would operate pursuant to Rule 412 under the
Securities Act if the offering memorandum were a registration statement under
the Securities Act, (ii) execute an exchange agreement containing
provisions customary in Rule 144A securities purchase agreements
(including indemnification provisions), if requested by the Requesting Bridge
Lenders, (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered such opinions and
accountants’ comfort letters addressed to the Requesting Bridge Lenders and
such certificates as the Requesting Bridge Lenders may request as would be
customary in Rule 144A offerings and otherwise in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Requesting Bridge Lenders and (iv) take
such other actions, and cause its advisors, auditors and counsel to take such
actions, as are reasonably requested by the Requesting Bridge Lenders in
connection with issuances or resales of Exchange Notes, including providing
such information regarding the business and operations of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as is reasonably requested by the Requesting Bridge Lenders and
customarily provided in due diligence investigations in connection with
purchases of securities by initial purchasers in Rule 144A offerings.  The Borrower shall not be required to act on
or respond to any Requesting Bridge Lenders Exchange Request other than the
first four such requests received by the Borrower and shall not be required to
undertake the actions specified in the immediately preceding sentence,
including clauses (i) through (iv) thereof, or the second sentence of
Section 10.15(a) with respect to more than four Requesting Bridge
Lenders Exchange Requests in the aggregate.

 

(c)      If any Loans remain outstanding on the date occurring
nine calendar months after the Initial Borrowing Date, then the Borrower shall
direct the Administrative Agent to prepare the Exchange Notes Indenture and the
Administrative Agent agrees to direct its counsel to so prepare the Exchange
Notes Indenture.  The terms of the
Exchange Notes Indenture shall be consistent with the Description of Exchange
Notes, it being understood and agreed that all determinations of market
conditions shall be made at such time by the Administrative Agent and shall be
binding on the Borrower in each case so long as the respective terms (other
than pricing and other financial terms and redemptions provisions) are not more
restrictive (as applied to the Borrower) in any material respect then those
contained in this Agreement.  The
Administrative Agent shall furnish a draft of the Exchange Notes Indenture to
the Borrower within 20 Business Days after the date on which the Borrower
directs the Administrative Agent to prepare the Exchange Notes Indenture, and
the Borrower shall have an opportunity to comment on same.  Following the receipt of the Borrower’s
comments (so long as provided

 

77

 

within 10 Business Days or such longer period as is
acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and the incorporation of those agreed
by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall prepare the final
Exchange Notes Indenture, which shall be binding for purposes of this Agreement
and shall be the Exchange Notes Indenture pursuant to which Exchange Notes
shall be issued if any Exchanges are effected. 
The Exchange Notes Indenture shall be finalized on or prior to the date
occurring 20 Business Days prior to the Initial Maturity Date, so that same is
available for Exchanges which may occur at any time or from time to time on or
after the Initial Maturity Date. 
Consistent with the foregoing requirements and concurrently therewith,
the Administrative Agent shall direct its counsel to prepare a registration
rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) which shall
provide the registration rights described in the Description of Exchange Notes
and otherwise be in customary form.  The
time periods applicable to the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to
delivery of the initial draft to the Borrower, delivery of the Borrower’s
comments thereon and finalization (after incorporation of such of the Borrower’s
comments as agreed by the Administrative Agent (which agreement with respect to
any comment of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld)) shall be the
same as those applicable to the Exchange Notes Indenture.  The Administrative Agent shall also have the
right to require the execution of any other related customary documentation in
connection with the Exchange Notes Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement
or any Exchange.  With respect to the
Exchange Notes Indenture, the Borrower shall also be required to retain (at its
own expense) a trustee (reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) to
act as such pursuant to the Exchange Notes Indenture.

 

(d)      All costs and expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with the forgoing actions required by this Section 10.15 shall
be for the account of the Borrower, which shall reimburse the Administrative
Agent for any expenses so incurred by it as described above in accordance with
the requirements of Section 14.01.

 

(e)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, upon notice to the Lenders that have received an offering
memorandum relating to Exchange Securities pursuant to this Section 10.15
(any such notice a “Suspension Notice”), the Borrower may at any time,
on one or more occasions, require suspension of the use of all such offering
memoranda until the Borrower delivers to such Lenders a Clearance Notice (as
defined below) with respect to such suspension (any such period of suspension a
“Blackout Period”), provided that all Blackout Periods, in the
aggregate, shall not exceed 90 days during any period of 12 consecutive
calendar months, if Holdings or the Borrower determines in good faith that (i) it
is necessary to update such an offering memorandum and (ii) such update
would entail disclosure of information that, directly or indirectly (including
through any public disclosure thereof made pursuant to Regulation FD or
otherwise), (A) could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the business, operations or prospects of Holdings or any of its
subsidiaries, (B) could reasonably be expected to jeopardize the success
of a transaction or prospective transaction in which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries
is involved or (C) is prohibited by the terms of an agreement or order to
which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries is subject.  Upon a Lender’s receipt of any Suspension
Notice, such Lender shall discontinue disposition of Exchange Notes pursuant to
any offering memorandum relating thereto and shall discontinue dissemination of
any offering memorandum relating to Exchange Notes until receipt from the
Borrower of notice of termination of the applicable Blackout Period (such
notice the “Clearance Notice” with respect to such Blackout Period) and
receipt of any updated offering memorandum identified in

 

78

 

the Clearance Notice (to the extent applicable to such
Lender’s Exchange Notes; provided that no such discontinuance shall be required
if, and to the extent, the limitations on the duration of the respective
Blackout Period contained above would be exceeded).

(f)       any Credit Party or any Subsidiary shall fail to make

respect of any Material Indebtedness, when and as the same shall become due and
payable (whether upon the stated maturity thereof, by acceleration or
otherwise);

 

(g)      any event or condition occurs that results in any
Material Indebtedness becoming due prior to its scheduled maturity or that

any trustee or agent on its or their behalf to cause any such Material
Indebtedness to become due, or to require the prepayment, repurchase,

as repaid in full on or prior to such 50th day after the Merger Closing Date or
(iii) any event requiring the repayment of First Lien Indebtedness in
accordance with the terms thereof (other than (I) an acceleration of the
maturity thereof as a result of an event of default occurring under, and as
defined, therein or (II) a prepayment as a result of a Change of Control)
and (y) until the 50th day after the Merger Closing Date, any Excepted

consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator,
conservator or similar official for such Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any
Credit Party (other than any Immaterial Subsidiary) or for a substantial part
of its assets, (iv) file an answer admitting the material allegations of a
petition filed against it in any such proceeding, (v) make a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors or (vi) take any action for the
purpose of effecting any of the foregoing;

 

(j)       any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party

(k)      one or more judgments for the payment of money in an
aggregate amount in excess of $50,000,000 (except to the extent covered by
insurance) shall be rendered against any Credit Party, any Subsidiary of any
Credit Party or any combination thereof and the same shall remain undischarged
for a period of forty-five (45) consecutive days during which execution shall
not be effectively stayed, or any action shall be legally taken by a judgment
creditor to attach or levy upon any assets of any Credit Party to enforce any
such judgment;

 

(l)       an ERISA Event shall have occurred that, when taken
together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred, could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

 

(m)     a Change of Control shall occur;

 

(n)      the Holdings Guaranty or the Subsidiaries Guaranty
shall fail to remain in full force or effect as to Holdings or any Subsidiary

to assert the invalidity or unenforceability of either such Guarantee, or any
Guarantor shall deny that it has any further liability under the Holdings
Guaranty or the Subsidiaries Guaranty, as the case may be, or shall give notice
to such effect;

 

(o)      any Security Document shall for any reason fail to
create a valid and perfected first priority security interest in any Collateral

Agreement or any Security Document, or any Security Document (other than
Security Documents which collectively cover an immaterial amount of Collateral)
shall fail to remain in full force or effect (except as otherwise expressly
provided in 

 

103

 

this Agreement or such Security Document) or any action shall be taken
by any Credit Party to discontinue or to assert the invalidity or
unenforceability of any such Security Document; or

 

(p)      any material provision of any Bridge Loan Document for
any reason ceases to be valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its
terms (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or such Bridge
Loan Document) (or any Credit Party shall challenge the enforceability of any
Bridge Loan Document or shall assert in writing, or engage in any action or
inaction based on any such assertion, that any material provision of any of the
Bridge Loan Documents has ceased to be or otherwise is not valid, binding and
enforceable in accordance with its terms);

 

then, and in every such event (other than an event
with respect to Holdings or the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of
this Section), the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required
Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following
actions, at the same or different times: 
(i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall
terminate immediately, and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be
due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so
declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and
payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and
payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other
obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable
immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in case of any event with
respect to Holdings or the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of
this Section, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal
of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all
fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall
automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or
other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.  Upon the occurrence and the continuance of an
Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the
Required Lenders shall, exercise any rights and remedies provided to the Administrative
Agent under the Bridge Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all
remedies provided under the UCC. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, at any time on
or prior to the Merger Closing Date, if the only Event of Default which has
occurred and is then continuing is pursuant to Section 12(c) and is
solely as a result of a material incorrectness of one or more representations
or warranties that do not constitute Specified Representations, then the
remedies described above in this Section 12 may not be exercised unless
and until the earlier to occur of (x) the first Business Day after the
Merger Closing Date and (y) the occurrence (and during the continuance) of
one or more Events of Default other than as described above in this sentence.

 

SECTION 13.         The Administrative Agent; Lead Arranger; Etc.

 

13.01.      Appointment.  The Lenders hereby irrevocably designate and
appoint MSSF as Administrative Agent and as Collateral Agent for the Lenders
and the other Secured Creditors (for purposes of this Section 13 and Section 14.01,
the term “Administrative Agent” also shall include MSSF in its capacity as
Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents) to act as specified herein
and in the other Bridge Loan Documents. 
MSSF hereby accepts such appointment as Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent, subject to its resignation rights provided herein.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes,
and each holder of any Note by the 

 

104

 

acceptance of such Note
shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such
action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Bridge
Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or
therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and
thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative
Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto.  The Administrative
Agent may perform any of its respective duties hereunder by or through its
officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates.

 

13.02.      Nature of Duties.  (a)  The
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Bridge Loan
Documents.  Neither the Administrative
Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates shall
be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any
other Bridge Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless
caused by its or their gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable
decision).  The duties of the
Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the
Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other
Bridge Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the
holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Bridge Loan
Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to
impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this
Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein
or therein.

 

(b)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
or any provision of any other Bridge Loan Document, the Lead Arranger is named
as such for recognition purposes only, and in its capacity as such shall have
no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this
Agreement or the other Bridge Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby; it being understood and agreed that the Lead Arranger shall
be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights as, and to the
extent, provided for under Section 14.01. 
Without limitation of the foregoing, the Lead Arranger shall not, solely
by reason of this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Documents, have any
fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person.

 

13.03.      Lack
of Reliance on the Administrative Agent.  Independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder
of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue
to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition
and affairs of Holdings and its Subsidiaries (and Target and its Subsidiaries)
in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking
or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own
appraisal of the creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries (and Target
and its Subsidiaries) and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either
initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any
Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming
into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times
thereafter.  The Administrative Agent
shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any
recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in
any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or
for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, 

 

105

 

perfection,
collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Bridge
Loan Document or the financial condition of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries
or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or
observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or
any other Bridge Loan Document, or the financial condition of Holdings or any
of its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or
Event of Default.

 

13.04.      Certain
Rights of the Administrative Agent.  If the
Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Required Lenders with
respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this
Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the
Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required
Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender
by reason of so refraining.  Without
limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall
have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a
result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder
or under any other Bridge Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of
the Required Lenders.

 

13.05.      Reliance. 
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement,
certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order
or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that
the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to
all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Bridge Loan
Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel
selected by the Administrative Agent.

 

13.06.      Indemnification. 
To the extent the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) is not
reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and
indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any affiliate thereof) in proportion to
their respective “percentages” as used in determining the Required Lenders
(determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions,
judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which
may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent (or
any affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Bridge
Loan Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any
other Bridge Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for
any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting
from the Administrative Agent’s (or such affiliate’s) gross negligence or
willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final and non-appealable decision).

 

13.07.      The
Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.  With respect
to its obligation to make Loans under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent
shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may
exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties
specified herein; and the term “Lender,” “Required Lenders,” “holders
of Notes” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates
otherwise, include the Administrative Agent in its respective individual capacities.  The 

 

106

 

Administrative Agent and
its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in
any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or
provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial
advisory services) to any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party (or
any Person engaged in a similar business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate
thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may
accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party or any Affiliate of
any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise
without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

 

13.08.      Holders. 
The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the
owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the
assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have
been filed with the Administrative Agent. 
Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of
making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any
Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee,
assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes
issued in exchange therefor.

 

13.09.      Resignation by the Administrative Agent.  (a) 
The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective
functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Bridge Loan Documents at
any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and,
unless a Default or an Event of Default under Section 12(h) or (i) then
exists, the Borrower.   Any such resignation
by an Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as
the Collateral Agent, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent shall no
longer act as Collateral Agent, except that, until a successor Administrative
Agent (who shall act as Collateral Agent) is appointed as provided below, the
resigning Administrative Agent shall continue to act as Collateral Agent for
purposes of maintaining the perfection and priority of security interests
granted pursuant to the various Security Documents.  Such resignation shall take effect upon the
appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and
(c) below or as otherwise provided below.

 

(b)      Upon any such notice of resignation by the
Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor
Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or
trust company having a combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000,
and which has an office, branch or agency located in New York, New York, which
is reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrower’s
acceptance or approval shall not be required if an Event of Default then
exists).

 

(c)      If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have
been so appointed within such 15 Business Day period, the Administrative Agent,
with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, provided that the Borrower’s consent shall not be
required if an Event of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor
Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or
thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent as provided above.

 

107

 

(d)      If no successor Administrative Agent has been
appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the 20th Business
Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative
Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the
Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative
Agent hereunder and/or under any other Bridge Loan Document until such time, if
any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided
above.

 

(e)      Upon a resignation of the Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section 13.09, the Administrative Agent shall remain
indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Bridge Loan
Documents and the provisions of this Section 13 (and the analogous
provisions of the other Bridge Loan Documents) shall continue in effect for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent for all of its actions and inactions while
serving as the Administrative Agent.

 

13.10.      Collateral Matters.  (a)  Each
Lender hereby irrevocably (i) designates and appoints MSSF as Collateral
Agent for the Lenders and the other Secured Creditors and (ii) authorizes
and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents for the
benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Creditors. MSSF hereby accepts
such appointment as Collateral Agent subject to its resignation rights pursuant
to Section 13.09.  Each Lender
hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be
deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken
by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or
the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers
set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the
Lenders.  The Collateral Agent is hereby
authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice
to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of
Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security
Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security
interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security
Documents.

 

(b)      The Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to
release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral
(i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of
all of the Obligations (other than unasserted indemnification obligations) at
any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Bridge Loan
Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) constituting
property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than Credit
Parties) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in compliance with Section 11.03,
(iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required
Lenders (or all of the Lenders hereunder, to the extent required by Section 14.12)
or (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security
Documents.  Upon request by the
Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the
Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral
pursuant to this Section 13.10.

 

(c)      The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation
whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral
exists or is owned by any Credit Party or is cared for, protected or insured or
that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent herein or pursuant hereto have
been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or 

 

108

 

enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or
to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care,
disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or
available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 13.10 or in any of the
Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the
Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent
may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given
the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and
that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the
Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

 

13.11.      Delivery
of Information.  The Administrative Agent shall not be
required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents,
instruments, notices, communications or other information received by the
Administrative Agent from any Credit Party, any Subsidiary, the Required
Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document except as specifically provided in
this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document.

 

SECTION 14.         Miscellaneous.

 

14.01.      Payment
of Expenses, etc.  (a)  The Borrower hereby agrees
to:  (i) whether or not the transactions herein contemplated are
consummated, pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses
of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger (including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of White & Case LLP
and, if necessary, one local counsel in any applicable jurisdiction and one
regulatory counsel) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and
administration of this Agreement and the other Bridge Loan Documents and the
documents and instruments referred to herein and therein (including, without
limitation, the documentation referred to in Section 10.15 hereof) and any
amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto or thereto, of the Administrative
Agent, the Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates in connection with its
or their syndication efforts with respect to this Agreement and of the
Administrative Agent and, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, for the
period during which such Event of Default is continuing, the Administrative
Agent and each of the Lenders in connection with the enforcement of this
Agreement and the other Bridge Loan Documents and the documents and instruments
referred to herein and therein; provided, however, that in the absence of
conflicts, reimbursement of legal fees and disbursements shall be limited to
the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel (and one local counsel in
each relevant jurisdiction and one regulatory counsel, if applicable) for the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders, such counsel to be
selected by the Administrative Agent;(ii) pay and hold the Administrative
Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and
future stamp, excise and other similar documentary taxes with respect to the
foregoing matters and save the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders
harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting
from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to the
Administrative Agent to pay such taxes; and (iii) indemnify the
Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and each Lender, and each of their
respective officers, directors, employees and affiliates (each, an “Indemnified
Person”) from and hold each of them harmless against any and all
liabilities, obligations (including removal or remedial actions), losses,
damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and
disbursements 

 

109

 

(including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and
disbursements) incurred by, imposed on or assessed against any of them as a
result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of, (a) any
investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the
Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger or any Lender is a party thereto and
whether or not such investigation, litigation or other proceeding is brought by
or on behalf of any Credit Party) related to the entering into and/or
performance of this Agreement, the Exchange Notes Indenture, the Exchange Notes
or any other Bridge Loan Document or the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or the
consummation of the Transaction or any other transactions contemplated herein
or in any other Bridge Loan Document or the exercise of any of their rights or
remedies provided herein or in the other Bridge Loan Documents, or (b) the
actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or
groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of any Real Property at any time
owned, leased or operated by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, the
generation, storage, transportation, handling or disposal of Hazardous
Materials by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries at any location, whether or
not owned, leased or operated by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, the
non-compliance by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries with any Environmental
Law (including applicable permits thereunder) applicable to any Real Property,
or any Environmental Liability of Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any Real
Property at any time owned, leased or operated by Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries, including, in each case, without limitation, the reasonable fees
and disbursements of counsel and other consultants incurred in connection with
any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding (but excluding any
losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the extent incurred by
reason of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the
Indemnified Person to be indemnified (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)).  To the extent that the undertaking to
indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger or
any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it
is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum
contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified
liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

 

(b)      To the full extent permitted by applicable law, each
of Holdings and the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim
against any Indemnified Person, on any theory of liability, for special,
indirect, consequential or incidental damages (as opposed to direct or actual
damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement,
any other Bridge Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of
the proceeds thereof.  No Indemnified
Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended
recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in
connection with this Agreement or the other Bridge Loan  Documents or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, except to the extent the liability of such Indemnified
Person results from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final and non-appealable decision).

 

14.02.      Right
of Setoff.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter
granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any
such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Administrative Agent and each Lender (with the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders) is hereby
authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand,
protest or other notice 

 

110

 

of any kind to any Credit
Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to
set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special)
and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative
Agent or such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies
of the Administrative Agent or such Lender wherever located) to or for the
credit or the account of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries against and on
account of the Obligations of the Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent or
such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Bridge Loan
Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations
purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 14.04(b), and although said Obligations  shall be contingent or unmatured. After
exercising any set off rights pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence,
the respective Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower of such exercise, although any delay or failure in giving any such
notice shall not affect the exercise of set off rights as provided above and
shall result in no liability for the respective Lender.

 

14.03.      Notices. 
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other
communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile
communication) and mailed, faxed or delivered: 
if to any Credit Party, at the address specified opposite its signature
below or in the other relevant Bridge Loan Documents; if to any Lender, at its
address specified on Schedule 14.03; and if to the Administrative Agent,
at the Notice Office; or, as to any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent,
at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice
to the other parties hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other address as
shall be designated by such Lender in a written notice to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent.  All such notices
and communications shall, when mailed, faxed or sent by overnight courier, be
effective when deposited in the mails, faxed (with return receipt), or
delivered to the overnight courier, as the case may be, except that notices and
communications to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall not be
effective until received by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as the
case may be.

 

14.04.      Benefit
of Agreement; Assignments; Participations.  (a) 
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided,
however, neither Holdings nor the Borrower may assign or transfer any of
its rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent
of the Lenders and, provided further, that, although any Lender may grant
participations to Eligible Transferees in its rights hereunder, (i) such
Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer
or assign all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in
Sections 2.13 and 14.04(b)) and, (ii) the participant shall not constitute
a “Lender” hereunder, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of its
Loans for all purposes hereunder, and (iv) Borrowers and any Lender shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and, provided further,
that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the
participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this
Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document except to the extent such amendment
or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or
Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend
the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a
waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) 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 

 

111

 

Default or of a mandatory
reduction in the Total Commitment or a mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall
not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an
increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be
permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s
participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the
assignment or transfer by Holdings or the Borrower of any of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all
of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly
provided in the Bridge Loan Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which
such participant is participating.  In
the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights
under this Agreement or any of the other Bridge Loan 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.

 

(b)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any
Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign (but not to
Holdings or any Subsidiary thereof except pursuant to clause (c) below)
all or a portion of its Commitments and/or outstanding principal amount of
Loans hereunder to (i)(A) its parent company and/or any Affiliate of such
Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (B) one
or more other Lenders or any Affiliate of any such other Lender which is at
least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company (provided
that any fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same
investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of
such investment advisor) shall be treated as an Affiliate of such other Lender
for the purposes of this sub-clause (x)(i)(B)), or (ii) in the case of any
Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any other fund that invests in
loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor as such Lender
or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all, or if
less than all, a portion equal to at least $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as
the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default under Section 12(a) and
no Event of Default then exists, the Borrower may otherwise agree) in the
aggregate in respect of the Commitments and/or Loans for the assigning Lender
or assigning Lenders, hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating
any fund that invests in loans and any other fund that invests in loans and is
managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an
Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single assignor or Eligible
Transferee (as applicable) (if any)), each of which assignees shall become a
party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and
Assumption Agreement, provided that (i) at such time, Schedule
1.01A shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments and/or
outstanding Loans, as the case may be, of such new Lender and of the existing
Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes by the assigning
Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying the Borrower for any lost
Note pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be
issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning
Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes
to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with
appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised
Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, (iii) at any
time when both Commitments and Loans are outstanding hereunder, each assignment
by a given Lender pursuant to this clause (b) shall be of a like percentage
of the Total Commitment and then total outstanding principal amount of the
Loans, and (iv) the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required
in connection with any such assignments of Commitments pursuant to clause (x) or
(y) (such consent, in any case, not to be 

 

112

 

unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and (v) no such
transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by the Administrative
Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 14.15.  To the extent of any assignment pursuant to
this Section 14.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its
obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and Loans.  At the time of each assignment pursuant to this
Section 14.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder,
the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so,
provide to the Borrower the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms,
certificates and other information (and, if applicable, a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate)
described in Section 5.04(b).  To
the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments
and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.13 or this Section 14.04(b) would,
at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 2.10,
3.06 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior
to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such
increased costs (although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the
other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other
increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the
date of the respective assignment).

 

(c)      [Intentionally Omitted].

 

(d)      Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit
any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve
Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve
Bank, any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and
Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit
support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such
collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be.  No pledge pursuant to this clause (d) shall
release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

 

(e)      Any Lender which assigns all of its Commitments and/or
Loans hereunder in accordance with Section 14.04(b) shall cease to constitute
a “Lender” hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under
this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.04,
13.06, 14.01 and 14.06), with respect to matters arising while it was a Lender
which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.  To the extent any Lender exchanges its Loans
(and related Notes) hereunder for Exchange Notes, the Loans and any Notes so
exchanged shall be immediately and automatically cancelled and retired, and the
Borrower shall in no event become a Lender hereunder.  To the extent of any such exchange by a
Lender hereunder, such Lender shall be relieved of obligations hereunder with
respect to the exchanged Loans.  If any
Lender exchanges all of its Loans (and related Notes) hereunder pursuant to one
or more Exchanges, such Person shall cease to constitute a “Lender” hereunder,
except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.04, 13.06, 14.01 and
14.06), with respect to matters arising while it was a Lender which shall
survive as to such assigning Lender.

 

14.05.      No
Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  No failure or
delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any
Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other
Bridge Loan Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other
Credit Party and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender
shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, 

 

113

 

power or privilege
hereunder or under any other Bridge Loan Document preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege
hereunder or thereunder.  The rights,
powers and remedies herein or in any other Bridge Loan Document expressly
provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies
which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender would
otherwise have.  No notice to or demand
on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver
of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender
to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

 

14.06.      Payments
Pro Rata.  (a)  Except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt
of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Obligations
hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the
Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in writing
to waive its pro  rata share of any such payment) pro  rata
based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to
which such payment was received.

 

(b)      Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive
any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon
security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by
counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Bridge
Loan Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal
of, or interest on, the Loans of a sum which with respect to the related sum or
sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of
such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such
Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such
receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash
without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the
Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as
shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount;
provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter
recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase
price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

 

(c)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 14.06(a) and (b) shall
be subject to (x) the express provisions of Section 10.15, which
permit various Lenders to exchange Loans for Exchange Notes, and (y) the
express provisions of Section 14.12(b), which permit disproportionate
payments with respect to the Loans as, and to the extent, provided therein.

 

14.07.      Calculations;
Computations.  (a)  The financial statements to be
furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved
(except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing
by the Borrower to the Lenders); provided that, (i) except as
otherwise specifically provided herein, all computations of Excess Cash Flow
and all computations and all definitions (including accounting terms) used in
determining compliance with Sections 11.10 through 11.12, inclusive, shall (x) utilize
GAAP and policies in conformity with those used to prepare the audited
financial statements of Holdings referred to in Section 9.04(a) for
the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2009 and (y) be calculated, in
each case, without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards 159 (or 

 

114

 

any similar accounting
principle) permitting a Person to value its financial liabilities at the fair
value thereof and (ii) to the extent expressly provided herein, certain
calculations shall be made on a Pro  Forma Basis.

 

(b)      All computations of interest and other Fees hereunder
shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days
(including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period
for which such interest or Fees are payable.

 

14.08.      GOVERNING
LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  (a)  THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER BRIDGE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF
THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN ANY
MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENT, BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE
GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS

or Waiver; etc.  (a)  Subject to
the provisions of following clause (c), neither this Agreement nor any other
Bridge Loan Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived,
discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination
is in writing signed by the respective Credit Parties party hereto or thereto
and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the direction of or
with the consent of the Required Lenders) (except that the Administrative Agent
and the Borrower may enter into any amendment of any Bridge Loan Document in
order to correct any immaterial technical error therein without the consent of
the Credit Parties or the Required Lenders), provided that no such
change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each
Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), (i) release all or substantially
all of (x) the Collateral (except as expressly provided in the Bridge Loan
Documents) under all the Security Documents or (y) the guarantees under
the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, (ii) amend, modify or waive any
provision of this Section 14.12 (except for technical amendments with
respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement which
afford the protections to such additional extensions of credit of the type
provided to the Loans on the Effective Date), (iii) reduce the “majority”
voting threshold specified in the definition of Required Lenders (it being
understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional
extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the
determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the
extensions of Loans are included on the Effective Date) or (iv) consent to
the assignment or transfer by Holdings or the Borrower of any of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement; provided further, that no such change,
waiver, discharge or termination shall (1) without the consent of each
Lender with Obligations being directly modified, extend the final scheduled maturity
of any Loan or Note, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of
interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with the waiver of applicability
of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce (or forgive) the
principal amount thereof, (2) increase the Commitments of any Lender over
the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being
understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants,
Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total
Commitment or a mandatory repayment of Loans shall not constitute an increase
of the Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the available portion
of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment
of such Lender), (3) without the consent of the Administrative Agent,
amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 13 or any other provision
as same relates to the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent or (4) without
the consent of Collateral Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision relating
to the rights or obligations of the Collateral Agent.

 

(b)      If,
in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or
to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through
(iv), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 14.12(a), the consent of
the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other
Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrower shall have
the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is
required are treated as described below, to replace each such non-consenting
Lender or Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13
so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender
consents 

 

117

 

to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination, or (B) terminate
such non consenting Lender’s Commitment and/or repay the outstanding Loans of
such Lender, provided that, unless the Commitments which terminated and
Loans which are repaid pursuant to preceding clause (B) are immediately
replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the
increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who
in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action
pursuant to preceding clause (B), the Required Lenders (determined after giving
effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto, provided
further, that the Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender,
terminate its Commitment or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise
of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such
Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 14.12(a) (unless
pursuant to clause (1) thereof).

 

(c)      Notwithstanding
anything to contrary contained above in this Section 14.12 or elsewhere in
this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document, the following modifications
may be made, and actions taken, by the Administrative Agent, in each case
without the consent of any Credit Party (except as expressly required below) or
the Required Lenders or any other group of Lenders (with all capitalized terms
used in clauses (i) through (v) below, if not otherwise defined
herein, being used herein as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement):

 

(i)            as contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement,
additional Series (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) of
First-Lien Obligations and Second-Lien Obligations (so long as permitted in
accordance with the requirements of this Agreement) may become subject to the
Intercreditor Agreement and the Administrative Agent is authorized and directed
to agree to any technical changes to the Intercreditor Agreement and to execute
such joinder agreements with respect to the Intercreditor Agreement as may be
deemed appropriate by it in connection with the inclusion of any such
Indebtedness pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, without the consent of
any Lenders;

 

(ii)           [Intentionally Omitted];

 

(iii)          the Administrative Agent may agree to such technical
changes to the Intercreditor Agreement as are deemed reasonably necessary or
desirable by it, in each case so long as such changes, taken as a whole, are
not adverse in any material respect to the Lenders;

 

(iv)          the Administrative Agent may agree to, or acknowledge, the
termination of the Intercreditor Agreement with respect to any Series in
accordance with the express provisions of Section 8.2 of the Intercreditor
Agreement, and at any time when the Intercreditor Agreement may be terminated
in accordance with the penultimate sentence of Section 8.2 thereof, the
Administrative Agent may agree to the termination thereof with the written
agreement of the Borrower;

 

(v)           [Intentionally Omitted];

 

(vi)          with respect to the Security Documents, (x) additional
Credit Parties 

 

118

 

may be added as parties thereto with only the
consent of the relevant Credit Parties being added (and annexes may be modified
to reflect additions), and (y) Subsidiaries of Holdings (other than the
Borrower) may be released from the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and any
other Security Documents in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof,
in each case without the consent of the other Credit Parties or any Lenders;
and

 

(vii)         the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may
execute any documents or instruments evidencing any release of any Liens
granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral in accordance
with Section 13.10(b) without the consent of the Credit Parties or
any Lenders.

 

14.13.      Survival.  All indemnities set forth herein including,
without limitation, in Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.04, 13.06 and 14.01 shall survive
the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the
making and repayment of the Obligations.

 

14.14.      Domicile
of Loans.  Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or
for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 14.14
would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.10,
2.11 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such
transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs
(although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of
the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the
respective transfer).

 

14.15.      Register.  The Borrower hereby designates the
Administrative Agent to serve as its agent, solely for purposes of this Section 14.15,
to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the
Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of
the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans
of each Lender (including as a result of one or more Exchanges pursuant to Section 10.15).  Failure to make any such recordation, or any
error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in
respect of such Loans.  With respect to
any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to
the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitments
shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register
maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such
Commitments and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the
transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the
transferor.  The registration of
assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be
recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register upon and only upon the
acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered
Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 14.04(b) or
agreement pursuant to Section 14.04(c). 
Upon such acceptance and recordation, the assignee specified therein
shall be treated as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement.  Coincident with the delivery of such an
Assignment and Assumption Agreement or agreement pursuant to Section 14.04(c) to
the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or
transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the
assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing
such Loan, and thereupon (in the case of an assignment pursuant to Section 14.04(b)),
one or more new Notes in 

 

119

 

the same aggregate
principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or
the new Lender at the request of any such Lender.  The Borrower agrees to indemnify the
Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and
liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or
incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 14.15.

 

14.16.      Confidentiality.  (a)  Subject to the provisions of clause
(b) of this Section 14.16, each of the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the
Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to
its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including
accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential
nature of such Information and will agree to keep such Information confidential
in accordance with this Section), (b) to the extent requested by any
regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (provided that in the
case of Information required to be disclosed by a Person pursuant to a subpoena
or similar legal process, such Person shall use reasonable efforts to provide
the Borrower with prior notice of such required disclosure and the opportunity
to obtain a protective order in respect thereof if no conflict exists with such
Person’s governmental, regulatory or legal requirements), (d) to any other
party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or any other Bridge Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or
thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or
Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or
prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative
transaction relating to the Loan Parties and their obligations, (g) with
the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or
by the respective Lender or agent (ii) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential
basis from a source other than any Credit Party.  For the purposes of this
Section, “Information” means all information received from any Credit
Party relating to any Credit Party or its business, other than any such
information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent
or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Credit
Party from a source other than a Credit Party.  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.

 

(b)      Each
of Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender
may share with any of its affiliates, and such affiliates may share with such
Lender, any information related to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries
(including, without limitation, any non-public customer information regarding
the creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries), provided such Persons
shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 14.16 to the same
extent as such Lender.

 

14.17.      Patriot Act.  Each Lender subject to the Patriot Act hereby
notifies Holdings and the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the
Patriot Act, it is required to 

 

120

 

obtain, verify and record information that identifies
Holdings, the Borrower and the other Credit Parties and other information that
will allow such Lender to identify Holdings, the Borrower and the other Credit
Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.

 

14.18.      OTHER LIENS ON COLLATERAL; TERMS OF
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT; ETC.  (a) 
EACH LENDER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LIENS SHALL BE CREATED ON
THE COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO FIRST LIEN CREDIT DOCUMENTS (ON A FIRST LIEN BASIS)
AND THE BRIDGE LOAN DOCUMENTS (ON A SECOND LIEN BASIS) (AND IN THE FUTURE MAY BE
CREATED ON THE COLLATERAL WITH RESPECT TO ONE OR MORE SERIES OF INDEBTEDNESS IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS HEREOF AND THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT), WHICH LIENS
SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, IT
IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT THE LIENS ON THE COLLATERAL SECURING THE
EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT (AND ANY OTHER SECOND LIEN
INDEBTEDNESS) ARE PROVIDED ON A JUNIOR AND SUBORDINATE BASIS IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE EXPRESS PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.  IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE
TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE OTHER BRIDGE LOAN
DOCUMENTS, THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND
CONTROL.

 

(b)      EACH
LENDER AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL
AGENT TO ENTER INTO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE LENDERS, AND
TO TAKE ALL ACTIONS (AND EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS) REQUIRED (OR DEEMED ADVISABLE)
BY IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

 

(c)      THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 14.18 ARE NOT INTENDED TO SUMMARIZE THE
RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE FORM OF WHICH IS
ATTACHED AS AN EXHIBIT TO THIS AGREEMENT. 
REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ITSELF TO
UNDERSTAND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF. 
EACH LENDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING ITS OWN ANALYSIS AND REVIEW OF THE
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS THEREOF, AND NEITHER THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY
LENDER AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OR ADVISABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

 

14.19.      Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in any Bridge Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed
to be paid under the Bridge Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of
non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender
shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess
interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such
unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. 
In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received
by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person
may, to the extent permitted by 

 

121

 

applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that
is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude
voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate,
allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest
throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 

14.20.      Regulation U.  (a)  The Borrower and the Lenders agree
that, for purposes of this Agreement and for determining compliance with
Regulation U, all Loans and extensions of credit incurred hereunder and under
the First Lien Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be “purpose loans” under
Regulation U and the provisions of this Section 14.20 shall apply.

 

(b)      Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, the Borrower
agrees that at all times prior to the Merger Closing Date it shall not, and
shall not permit Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to, sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of any shares of Margin Stock, or otherwise withdraw or
substitute any direct or indirect security for any Loans or other extensions of
credit hereunder, unless after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of
Loans and/or First Lien Loans to be made in connection therewith, such sale,
transfer, disposition or other withdrawal or substitution would be permissible
under Section 221.3(f) of Regulation U.

 

(c)      The
Borrower will furnish to each Lender, prior to the making of any Credit Event
or at any time thereafter upon the request of such Bank, such information as
such Lender may require to determine compliance with Regulation U and such
documents as such Lender may require to comply with Regulation U.

 

(d)      At
the time of the making of any assignment or the granting of any participation
under this Agreement, the transferor shall furnish to the transferee (including
by making same available as described in the penultimate paragraph of Section 10.01)
a copy of the Form FR U-1 or Form FR G-3, as the case may be,
originally obtained with respect to the transferred interest pursuant to Section 6.11
of this Agreement (as supplemented from time to time pursuant to Section 7.06(b) of
this Agreement).

 

(e)      Each
Lender acknowledges and agrees that it shall be responsible for complying with
any applicable registration requirements applicable to lenders as set forth in
Regulation U.

 

SECTION 15.         Holdings Guaranty.

 

15.01.      Guaranty.  In order to induce the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend
credit hereunder and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by
Holdings from the proceeds of the Loans, 
Holdings hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors as follows:  Holdings hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and
prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of
any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Guaranteed Parties to the
Guaranteed Creditors.  If any or all of the
Guaranteed Obligations of the Guaranteed Parties to the Guaranteed Creditors
becomes due and payable hereunder, Holdings, unconditionally and irrevocably,
promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent 

 

122

 

and/or the other
Guaranteed Creditors to which such Guaranteed Obligations are owed, on demand
together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative
Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors in collecting any of the Guaranteed
Obligations to the extent reimbursable under Section 14.01.  If claim is ever made upon any Guaranteed
Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment
or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid
payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment,
decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over
such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of
any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including the
Guaranteed Parties), then and in such event Holdings agrees that any such
judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon
Holdings, notwithstanding any revocation of this Holdings Guaranty or other
instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and Holdings shall be and
remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or
recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been
received by any such payee.

 

15.02.      Bankruptcy.  Additionally, Holdings unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations
to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not due or payable by any Guaranteed
Party upon the occurrence of any of the Events of Default with respect to
Holdings or the Borrower specified in Section 12(h) or (i), and
irrevocably and unconditionally promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to
the Guaranteed Creditors, on demand, in lawful money of the United States.

 

15.03.      Nature
of Liability.  The liability of
Holdings hereunder is primary, absolute and unconditional, exclusive and
independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Guaranteed
Obligations, whether executed by any other guarantor or by any other party, and
the liability of Holdings hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (a) any
direction as to application of payment by any Guaranteed Party 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 Guaranteed
Obligations, 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 any Guaranteed Party, or (e) any
payment made to any Guaranteed Creditor on the Guaranteed Obligations which any
such Guaranteed Creditor repays to any Guaranteed Party pursuant to court order
in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor
relief proceeding, and Holdings waives any right to the deferral or
modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, or (f) any
action or inaction by the Guaranteed Creditors as contemplated in Section 15.05,
or (g) any invalidity, irregularity or enforceability of all or any part
of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor.

 

15.04.      Independent
Obligation.  The obligations of
Holdings hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other guarantor,
any other party or any Guaranteed Party, and a separate action or actions may
be brought and prosecuted against Holdings whether or not action is brought
against any other guarantor, any other party or any Guaranteed Party and
whether or not any other guarantor, any other party or any Guaranteed Party be
joined in any such action or actions. 
Holdings waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of
any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement
thereof.  Any payment by any Guaranteed
Party or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations
as to such Guaranteed Party shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as
to Holdings.

 

123

 

15.05.      Authorization.  Holdings authorizes the Guaranteed Creditors
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)      change
the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of
payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed
Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof
or the rate of interest or fees thereon), any security therefor, or any
liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this Holdings
Guaranty shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended,
renewed or altered;

 

(b)      take
and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell,
exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in
any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or
mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any
liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly
in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset there against;

 

(c)      exercise
or refrain from exercising any rights against any Guaranteed Party, any other
Credit Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

 

(d)      release
or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, any Guaranteed Party,
other Credit Parties or other obligors;

 

(e)      settle
or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any
liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in
respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part
thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Guaranteed
Party to its creditors other than the Guaranteed Creditors;

 

(f)       apply
any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or
liabilities of any Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors regardless of
what liability or liabilities of any Guaranteed Party remain unpaid;

 

(g)      consent
to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this
Agreement, any other Bridge Loan Document or any of the instruments or
agreements referred to herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify or
supplement this Agreement, any other Bridge Loan Document or any of such other
instruments or agreements; and/or

 

(h)      take
any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common
law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of Holdings from its
liabilities under this Holdings Guaranty.

 

15.06.      Reliance.  It is not necessary for any Guaranteed
Creditor to inquire into the capacity or powers of Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or
purporting to act on their behalf, and any Guaranteed Obligations made or
created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be
guaranteed hereunder.

 

124

 

15.07.      Subordination.  Any indebtedness of any Guaranteed Party now
or hereafter owing to Holdings is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed
Obligations owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent
so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of
any Guaranteed Party to Holdings shall be collected, enforced and received by
Holdings for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the
Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or
impairing in any manner the liability of Holdings under the other provisions of
this Holdings Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by Holdings of any note or
negotiable instrument evidencing any such indebtedness of any Guaranteed Party
to Holdings, Holdings shall mark such note or negotiable instrument with a
legend that the same is subject to this subordination.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Holdings hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors that it will
not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have
as a result of this Holdings Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509
of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Guaranteed Obligations have been
irrevocably paid in full in cash.

 

15.08.      Waiver.  (a)  Holdings waives any right
(except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to
require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against any Guaranteed
Party, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or
exhaust any security held from any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any
other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor’s
power whatsoever.  Holdings waives any
defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Guaranteed Party, any
other guarantor or any other party, other than payment of the Guaranteed
Obligations to the extent of such payment, based on or arising out of the
disability of any Guaranteed Party, Holdings, any other guarantor or any other
party, or the validity, legality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause
of the liability of any Guaranteed Party other than payment of the Guaranteed
Obligations to the extent of such payment. 
The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any
security held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other
Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or
not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent
such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or
remedy the Guaranteed Creditors may have against any Guaranteed Party or any
other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the
liability of Holdings hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations
have been paid.  Holdings waives any
defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even
though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of
reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Holdings against any
Guaranteed Party or any other party or any security.

 

(b)      Holdings
waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices,
including without limitation notices of nonperformance, notices of protest,
notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Holdings Guaranty, and notices
of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed
Obligations.  Holdings assumes all
responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Guaranteed Party’s
financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the
risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and
extent of the risks which Holdings assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees
that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the other Guaranteed 

 

125

 

Creditors shall have any duty to advise Holdings of information known
to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

 

(c)      Until
such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash,
Holdings hereby waives all rights of subrogation which it may at any time
otherwise have as a result of this Holdings Guaranty (whether contractual,
under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of
the Guaranteed Creditors against any Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor of
the Guaranteed Obligations and all contractual, statutory or common law rights
of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Guaranteed Party or any
other guarantor which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this
Holdings Guaranty.

 

(d)      Holdings
hereby acknowledges and affirms that it understands that to the extent the
Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California,
Holdings shall be liable for the full amount of the liability hereunder
notwithstanding the foreclosure on such Real Property by trustee sale or any
other reason impairing Holdings’ or any Guaranteed Creditor’s right to proceed
against any Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed
Obligations.  In accordance with Section 2856
of the California Code of Civil Procedure, Holdings hereby waives until such
time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash:

 

(i)            all rights of
subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other
rights and defenses that are or may become available to Holdings by reason of
Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California Code of Civil
Procedure;

 

(ii)           all rights and
defenses that Holdings may have because the Guaranteed Obligations are secured
by Real Property located in California, meaning, among other things, that:  (A) the Guaranteed Creditors may collect
from Holdings without first foreclosing on any real or personal property
collateral pledged by any Guaranteed Party or any other Credit Party, and (B) if
the Guaranteed Creditors foreclose on any Real Property collateral pledged by
any Guaranteed Party or any other Credit Party, (1) the amount of the
Guaranteed Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral
is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the
sale price, and (2) the Guaranteed Creditors may collect from Holdings
even if the Guaranteed Creditors, by foreclosing on the Real Property
collateral, have destroyed any right Holdings may have to collect from any
Guaranteed Party, it being understood that this is an unconditional and
irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Holdings may have because the
Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property (including, without
limitation, any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580d or 726 of the
California Code of Civil Procedure); and

 

(iii)          all rights and
defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Guaranteed Creditors,
even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with
respect to security for the Guaranteed Obligations, has destroyed Holdings’
rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any Guaranteed Party by the
operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or
otherwise.

 

126

 

(e)           Holdings
warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with full
knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers
are determined to be contrary to any applicable law of public policy, such
waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

15.09.      Payments.  All payments made by Holdings pursuant to
this Section 15 shall be made in Dollars and will be made without setoff,
counterclaim or other defense, and shall be subject to the provisions of
Sections 5.03 and 5.04.
